necessity.
During the enrly part of the war
blockade running was carried on from
the capes Of the Chesapeake to the
mouth of the Rio Grande. Vessels OF
all sorts and sizes were engaged In 1t,
but the most successful were the steam
ers that had belonged to the southern
coasting lines which found themselves
thrown out OF employment when war
broke out.
Familiarity with the coast was al
most essential to successful blockade
running, more especially when dark.
moonless night were usually selected
for the task. A sharp lookout had to
be kept for cruisers on the outside
blockade, and the blockade runner, by
keeping at a distance. could generally
pass them unobserved. II by accident
or carelessness he came very close, he
would press on all steam and take to
his heels. trusting to speed to get
away. He never hove to when ordered.
for it was usually as hard to hit him
as to overtake him. The run past the
inshore squadron was always critical
moment for the latter. 1. was no easy
matter on dark night to hit, much
less to stop, a small and obscure vessel
running at Is knots whose only object
was to pass by. The service called into
action all the faculties of the blockade
runner. 1t required cool head, strong
nerve, superb courage and ready re-
source. 1t was combat OF skill and
pluck against force and vigilance. The
excitement of fighting only was want

tured. The blockader is in every way
at disadvantage. He has no objective
point save the blockade runner. and he
never knows when he is coming. He
can choose nothing, but must take the
circumstances as they happen to come.
and they are pretty sure to be unfavor-
able. He is compelled to wait in the
worst of all situations-incessant
watchfulness combined with prolonged
inaction. He spends days and nights
of anxious waiting with expectation

Berlin, June 16.-Advices received

sailed yesterday from Nagasaki for

According to trustworthy informa-
ton. all conjectures in the press and
political circles in Spain which are be-

Germany to abandon her neutrality in

Manila is regarded as perfectly natur-

Az . military measure the blockade
is Of vital importance. 1t has been
commonly said with regard to the civil
conflict that without 1t hostilities
would have been protracted much long
er, and would have been far more BIT
ter and bloody than they were. lts
peculiar Importance lay in the isola-
tion Of the southern states. and In their
dependence upon the outside world
for the necessaries Of life. The only
neutral frontier was along the Rio
Grande, and the country for many
miles ON both sides Of the boundary
offered few facilities for trade or trans
portation. All supplies had 70 come

strained to the tensest point, for an
emergency which lasts. perhaps, only
for as many minutes, and which comes
when least expected. There is no tell
ing when or where the blow will need
to be struck, and a solitary moment OF
mapping may be fatal in spite OF
months Of ceaseless vigilance.
Discovery and Chase.
When a blockade runner is sighted
then 1t is all excitement on board the
ships Of the blockading squadron. The
one that sees her hrst gives the signal
by hoisting flag, II in the daytime,
or sending of rocket or displaying a
light ii at night. The squadron is al
ways ready for action. and the instant
the anchors are slipped the ships are
of at full speed. The chase Is on. And
now comes into play the skill and cour-
age OF the captain Of the blockade run
ner. It is a squadron OF armed ships
against his defenseless vessel. He un-
derstands the risks he takes-his vessel
may be sunk, IL he il captured the least
he can hope for Is parole. while he
loses his vessel and cargo. He IL never

deck than at time like this. As the
shots that threaten destruction are fly
ing about him and every moment seems
his last, he is directing engineer,
watching the pursuing fleet and study
ing q way Of escape all at the same
time. In blockade running, as in many
other things, 1t Is the unexpected that
usually happens. The captain may
make sudden move for which the
squadron is not instantly prepared. run
under its very guns and escape to port.
This was frequently done during the
civil war; it would be less likely to sue
coed at the present time.
