evidently what she purported to be. so no
boarding party was required

"Eh?' asked the Varonica's skipper in
tones which embraced fear.
In order TO set at rest the disturbed
mind of the bark's commander, The lieu

All" was the exclamation Of relief and
intense satisfaction which came from the
skipper of the Varonica in an accent so
thoroughly German that It caused roar
of laughter to arise from the decks of TIT
New York, running forward to where the
men were thickly clustered and extending
aft TO the quarterback. whert the admiral
was sitting with is officers near oy.
Then the searchilghts were turned eff
and the Varonica changed instantly from
a picturesque white bark with men and
merrimtnt on board Of her, :nto a 6ark
shadow that few seconds later was lost
sight of in the night.
The above Is a characteristic incident Of
what has happened often since the New

IF SCHLEY HAD A BALLOON

Washington, May 28.-The possibility
that the balloon can be made a useful ad-
junct Of the war is suggested by the prob
lem that confronts Commodore Schley.
IL Admiral Cervera IS really bottled up
in Santiago harbor. A practical way Of
ascertaining that fact beyond all doubt
as suggested today. would be to send up
balloon from one Of the war ships which
are supposed to be at the mouth OF the
harbor. on q tour OF observation. This

out any great risk or danger to the per
sons in the airship. The signal officer has
balloon equipment but 1t could not be
ascertained that any of the vessels Of the
feet were furnished with It. From the
experience OF the past there would be no
trouble in Initiating balloon which. soar

Or noting with considerable detail all the

harbor leading to the city. Such infor-
cd out, would be Of inestimable value to
the American feet and enable It to act
nteliigently in determining what future
operations were desirable Balloons have
been tried with more or less success in
European countries in army operations
although it is not stated whether they
have ever been put to practical use in
actual warfare. However experience
abroad has shown that when high in the
air, the men would be practically free
from the opposing force. as 1T is with the
greatest difficulty that an accurate range
of their height can be obtained and even
then specially constructed weapons are
needed for destroying them-the posses

Kingston, Jamaica, May 2S.-The United
States dispatch boat Eagle arrived at
Port Antonio. this island. last evening.
1t is said she came direct from Key West,
but there is a belief that she may have
dispatches to forward. In view of the
neutrality laws. her commander has been
formally notified that the Eagle must
leave at the expiration of twenty-four
hours. The dispatch boat will take on
board forty-eight tons of coal and will
sail today.
The British steamer Adula is expected
here today from Cienfuegos. When she
reached that port on Monday the harbor
master found that she had on board a
waiter who was not on the ships articles
and he refused TO allow the steamer to
leave until Thursday. when she was re-
leased upon the urgent representations Of
the British consul at Cienfuegos. The
Adula has on board a number of refugees.

MAIL EOR HE TROOPS

Washington. May 2S-Six additional
postal clerks have been detailed to the
camp at Chickamauga. making twenty
two in all at that camp. The mail there
is delivered three or our times day and
as many as Is 900 letters have been deliv-
cred at one time.
Three additional clerks have been ap-
pointed to service at Camp Ager 1t was
found that considerable delay in the deliv-
cry of mail at camps resulted from the
stoppage of mail wagons by guards. The
conveyances now in use are not easily
recognized as being in the service of the
United States. and hereafter mail deliv-
cry wagons of the regular type will be
used for this purpose.
Another innovat ton on account of the
soldiers is a postmark stamp for use in
the field. with movable type. so that the
names and locations of camps can easily
be changed on 1t, as the troops move
from place to place.
