Watson and Wade's Expeditions

Meanwhile preparations for the Wade ex-
petition go on steadily, a number of general
officers being today ordered to attach them
selves thereto, among them being General
Randall. who was assigned only yesterday
to command the new military camp at Mon
tauk point.
Navy department officials also insist that
no change has been made in the orders to
Watson's squadron. Indeed, there seems to
be now evident a purpose TO dispatch this
fine squadron to European waters regard
less of the termination Of the war, the idea
being that the splendid display which will
be made by the American ships will have a
beneficial effect in inspiring respect for our
naval strength.
Patiently Waiting
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The United
States government Is now waiting 10 hear
again from Spain, and this time 1t is ex-
pected the answer will be final. Firmly,
but courteously, the President has declined
the earnest appeal OF the French Ambassa-
dor to modify the United States demands,
except in slight and comparatively unim-
portant respects. There Is no doubt that
the peace negotiations are progressing to
the entire satisfaction of the President and
the members Of the Cabinet. A statement
to that effect was made today by high
official Of the administration. who express
ed the belief that within very short time
there would be complete cessation Of hos
tilities. The conference yesterday after
noon at the White House, in which the
President. NJ. Cambon and Secretary Day
participated, was devoted almost entirely
10 . discussion Of details which are re-
garded by the President as unimportant.

Greatest Infantry Charge ia History.

Lieut.. Hobson, in his recent adj
dress at the Metropolitan opera
house, mentioned, among other
things, a spectacle which, from a
prosceniim window in prison, he
had beheld, and which it had been
authoritatively stated could not be
performed. The prelude lasted
twenty days. During that period
he watched the Spaniards fortifying
Santiago. He saw them fetch guns
from their ships and place them
there. And then, just as though
our troops had waited until every
thing was ready for thei' reception,
he saw the unsupported infantry
advance, he heard the singing of
the bullets, the banging OF the guns,
and through it all, through the
thanking artillery, through the tear
ing shrapnel, through the streams
If fire, through the red and white
of the furnished dawn, he saw the
advance continue, the fight of the
foe, the rush of the infantry, the
dash up the hill, the capture OF the
Notifications, the feat which ex-
perts hid decided could never be
performed. Nor could it before,
Nor can it be duplicated now. To
find anything resembling it one has
to go back to the remoteness OF tn.

to engage his attention and love of adven-

ner sailing under the name of Capt.
Roberts. His first vessel was a fine
double-screw steamer, of 100 tons 25O-
horse power. $50 feet long and 22-foot
beam. His crew Of thirty-four men were
all English and received high pay. The
hull of the vessel, the D-n, was painted
dull gray; anthracite or smokeless coal
was burned, and, in order that no noise
might be made, steam was blown of un-
der water. Among other precautions
taken were the following: It was ordered
that there should be no male birds among
the fowl taken on board for provisions.
IN order that untimely Growing might not
at some critical moment betray the craft.
On tho first trip out from England Ho-
bart Pasha,\ taking the advice of a
southern lady, whom he made inquiries
OF before starting. took on board among
other merchandise, 1000 pairs of women's
corsets, lucky venture on which he
realized LOO per cent profit, when after
some exciting adventures, he landed them
safely IN Wilmington. His main cargo
consisted OF, heavy boxes labeled ma
chinery," and was paid for by the Con-
federate government in cotton. His
closest call came at II o'clock on the
morning OF their arrival, when he sud-
denly found Federal steamer alongside
the On. How the enemy got there
without his knowledge, was a mystery.
However, there the vessel was, and soon
a stentorian voice called out: "Heave to
IN that steamer or I'll sink you" 1t
seemed as if all was over but Hobart de-
tcrm1ned to try ruse before giving his
craft up. So he answered, "Aye, aye, sir:
we are stopped" The cruiser was about
eighty yards away. Orders could he heard
given, and soon the boats were lowered
and the crews laughed and cheered as
they came on for their supposed prize. |

directly at the center of the target, and
the ball would go through the hole in the

Then the gunner's mate takes pencil,
and holding the disk in position, makes a
mark through the center upon the paper
target. This operation is repeated three
times, and then the next man has his
trial. The idea of the three shots is to
get them as closely together on the tar

Doubtless the greatest and most memo
rable blockade in the annals OF warfare
was that of the ports of the Southern
states by the Federal government be-
ginning in April, 1861. 1t, involved the
closing and patroling of $500 miles of
coast, much Of it with an inland sea and
double line of shore In some cases it
neeessitated riding our storms at anchor
off lee shore, where such action had
been formerly considered wellnight hope
less. Add to this the fact that at the
beginning of the war the United States
navy existed almost in name only, and
we can readily understand why the block
AIDE at first was ineffective and why
blockade running became so popular. In
the beginning, it is recalled by the Phil
adelphia Times, old, Z. infirm,e and even
condemned vessels were freely used for
this purpose, as their capture involved
no serious lOss and the chances of their
getting into port were fair, inasmuch as
the Federal government had but few
faster boats with which to give chase;
but as the blockade became more and
more efficient the condition of the block
AIDE runners underwent a corresponding
change. There were three blockading
sQuadrons- Chesapeake bay, on the At
lantic coast, and in the gulf-and it is

the renewal of the war with France De-
came imminent. III that year he built
small vessel at Leghorn, called the st.
George, to cruise against the enemy. His
project becoming known, a French xebec

upon Leghorn and lowered outside the

done to French commerce during the last

greatly distinguished himself. Being
chased by cruiser, a large full-rigged

to the wind, and deliberately steamed
past his plrsuer at distance OF less
