Orleans exported more than either Bos-

with those Of Baltimore, exceed in

exports from the two Gulf ports men

finer model which will add still fur
Their speed. The armored belt which de-
tends the vital parts OF the Cardinal
Cisneros is larger and the quality Of
the plates has improved. and we main
tain hopes that the sister ship In Bill

when Fifty ninth street was out in the

His last army service was at Wess
Point, where he figured to the admira-

and profound knowledge OF soldiery
won him this appointment.
Ten years ago he left the army and
enlisted as a marine. 1t was the old

followed By the inevitable ~setbacks, all
due to unwise conviviality. Not that

Wreck Of the Ashuelot.

Lieutenant Frank s. Hotchkin. OF
Chicago, who served eighteen years In
the United States navy, and then re-
tired into commercial life, says that IL
the Maine had not been a warship the
disaster might have been much worse
than it was. The lieutenant was an
officer on board the the fated Ashuelot
when that warship was wrecked in the
China sea. Eight men were lost--three
Chinese who were looting the officers
quarters, and five 'middics' who
jumped overheard, crazed by fear. The
Ashuelot was built for service on the
Mississippi during the war, and fifteen
years ago, Feb. 90, was in Chinese wat
ers. She was walled in by a heavy fog
when at 4 o'clock in the morning Lieu
tenant Hotchkin went TO relieve the
watch. He had scarcely put foot on
deck when the lookout cried: Land on
the starboard BEAM The next min
ute the ship struck, and had 1t not
been for the discipline the whole out
fit would have gone to the bottom.
The loss OF the ship caused an inquiry
and a court-martial. and the captain
and the navigator were disciplined.
IF ever l am in n marine disaster
again" quoth the lieutenant, Il desire
that 1t shall be on a man-of-war."

An experienced trainer asked to con-
dense the best information he could
give a new racing man, answered as
follows: Eat almost everything ex-
cept green stuff potatoes and %turnips.
Make beef. dry toast and weak tea the
principle articles of food. Do not be
afraid of ice cream and ripe fruit at
your meals. Be in bed at . o'clock each
night and up at 6 in the morning. Take
a cool spray bath or rising. DO not
use tobacco or drink any kind Of Ii
quor. For rubbing mixtures so dear to
all racing men use witch hazel mixed
with Il very little pepperment oil. Mix
in the proportion OF n pint Of witch
hazei to five cents worth OF oil. Do
not depend so much on the mixture as
on the rubbing. Have the body we'll
rubbed over. Knead every muscle.
End by briskly rubbing in order to
bring blood to the surface nicely.-EY-

HAVANA. March 1.-The naval

temporarily. While it is holding ses-

go forward and something may be

their labors are too ~momcntous in
consequence to be hurried.
KEY WEST, Fla. IS The United

Those officers and civilians here who
believed the reports from Havana
saying that tho court had already de-
cided that the loss Of the Maine was

changed their minds, for to-day the
universal question is, What has tina
court found out?" while yesterday one

likely it will be for the court to allow
any inkling of its conclusions to be
