FORT MONROE, Va, April "a (on
board Flagship Brooklyn)-For STRAIT
eslc purposes, and for the protection Of
information that might be of value to
the enemy, Commodore Schley, Of the
hylng squadron, has issued a practical
censorship over those in his command
relative to the divulging Of the reason
Tor any movement made or to be made
by the squadron or individual ships or
the squadron. To more fully carry out
mat plan Of protection to government
interest, only commanding officers are
maze aware of such movements, and
the responsibility Is thus minimized.
1t is for these reasons that the actual
destination Of the Minneapolis and Col
umpla rs merely a matter of newspaper
conjecture. The actual mission Of the
Dig cruisers Is not and will not be made
pubic, the navy department, Commo-
oore Schley and the commanders of the
vessels being the sole possessors of in
formation on the subject.
The conjectures as to the object for
which Commodore Schley ordered them

young workers upon their zeal In the past
and e1horting to more ardent enort Tor the
future.
Miss Hough spoke to the children upon the

coasting schooner the MathiIde, which
the Dauntiess towed into Key West last
night
The New York, with the torpedo boat
Porter In close attendance, was lying
about eight or ten miles off Havana
when the smoke Of a steamer was
seen few miles to the eastward The
flagship and the Porter started for her
Immediately, but when they drew near
er they found that it was the Italian
man-of-war Giovanni Bansan, bound
for Havana. The Italian ran the
American colors up to her masthead
and fired a rear admiral's salute of
fifteen guns, it being the first salute
Rear Admiral Sampson had received
from foreign warship since his ap-
pointment to his present rank. The
New York returned the salute and as
the firing occurred only a few miles
off shore the incident probably created
consterna ton in Havana. Just as this
ceremony was completed, two
schooners were sighted in shore
from where the New York and
the Italian lay, and the flagship
signaled the Porter to go after them
The torpedo boat glided over the water
at very rapid pace, and passed al
most under the bows Of the Bansan on
her capture Of the Mathilde

Rev. Edward G. Mitchell Delivers a
Lecture Before the Westminster
Historical Glass.
Rev. Edward G. Mitchell, pastor of the
Swedenborgian, or New Jerusalem, church,
lectured yesterday afternoon at Westminster
Presbyterian church, Greenwood and Wini-
fred before the Westminster Historical class,
on "Swedenborgianisnl." The lecturer said
that the Swedenborgian doctrines were first
ennunciated by Emanuel swedenbors, who
was born in Stockholm in 1858.
He was a scholarly man, and in the prime
Of hts mental faculties attempted to find the
human soul with a scalpel, but failed. He
spoke Of heaven and hell-pronouncing the
latter condition into which men were
brought by their own deliberate acts. Heaven
was place they went to because they want
ed to go there. There was no personal devil.
The Scriptures were dictated by the AL
mighty, and had two different meanings
tenets of Swedenborgianism were:
and Holy Ghost, represented in Christ.
Second-That the Scriptures the dc
tated word of God, and to be spiritually
understood and interpreted.
Third-Heaven and hell are conditions
not locations. Persons who die sleep three
days and are then taken by angels to the
condition they have prepared themselves
for.
Moses rewrote the Book of Genesis from a
book found among the Egyptians-at least
that portion of 1t giving an account of the
creation.

Historical society will be May 1, on THE

Sunday here passed very quietly. The
Maryland navajo reserves, who are to
man the Yosemite land Dixie, arrived
by boat early this morning. The two
converted boats will be ready in a day
or two, being at Newport News yards
undergoing Improvements.
When the Maryland reserves passed
the Brooklyn they eheered heartily.
The Sioux, a7oconverted tug under

Tonight the precaution was begun Of
putting out a patrol fleet Of steam

The work of strengthening the forti-

also the work of laying mines in the

In addition to this the immense bat

It is expected that active operations
Oh the fort will begin this week and
be pushed to completion without delay.
This fort is to be erected on a SUBJ

arched chamber with turrets, in which
the guns are to be operated. The fort
will be temporary in structure, but

from her six-pounder across the bows
of both schooners. One Of them came
about Immediately, but she proved to
be a fishing boat and was released But
the Mathilde was more obstinate, and
probably did not appreciate being stop
ped by what looked like a toy boat, or
else she failed to understand what the
Porter wanted her to do. But when
two more shots were fired from the
torpedo boat the Mathilde came about,
and the Porter ran alongside, informed
her she was seized by the United
States, and promptly took per prize in
tow and started off to the flagship with
her.
The Mathilde was loaded with bar
rels Of rum, was sunk almost to her
rails, and the Porter had much diff
Guilty in dragging the heavy schooner
through the water, but she finally
brought her ship alongside the flag
ship, and by this time she had hoisted
the stars and stripes above the Span
ish flag at the Mathilde's masthead
Nearly the entire crew of the New
York assembled on the deck, and as
the Porter came up with her prize they
gave her a great cheering.
The Dauntless was about ready to
leave for Key West, and Admiral
Sampson asked the dispatch boat to
tow the prize to that port for him,
which was done, prize crew from the
New York being placed on board the
Mathilde.
There was strong wind blowing and
a heavy sea running all the way from
Havana to Key West, but the Daunt-
less plowed through the water with
her tow, which had her rails under
half the time, with great volumes of
spray dashing over the sailors and ma
rinls from the New York who aat on
top Of the schooner's cargo, each man
ready with his rifle to prevent any at
tempt that might be made by the
schooner's own crew to cut loose from
the Rauntless. The latter made the
run Of 80 miles from Havana to Key
West with her tow in eight hours, ar
irving at Key West before midnight.
