Washington, Aug. 19.-One of the
largest fleets of warshiDs ever assem-
bled in an American port will be
brought together in the next few days
at Fort Monroe.
Already 81 warships are under orders
to rendezvous there, and the orders still
to he issued will raise the total in the
neighborhoOd of 20.
Naval officials say il is difficult to
realize the extent of such a marine ag-
gregation in one harbor. The orders
began issuing last Monday, when five
ships were ordered to Fort Monroe. On
the 18th another ship was added. On
the 18th eight more were sent, and on
the 18th II ships were added. ToAay's
orders include Is more ships. Before
the orders began issuing there were
eight warships at Fort Monroe, so that
the total I'D TO today is 81.
Those included in today's orders are
the Newport, Rodgers, Lebanon, Wam-
pocuck, MOTIFS, Trim, Lancaster, Ma
chias, Oseeola, Peoria. Massasoit.
Sioux, Cheyenne, Waban. Chickasaw,
Helena, Detroit AID Yankton. These
are the ships previously ordered, and
are mainly small craft, although there
are number of large cruisers and gun
beats, including the San Francisco,
Helena. Detroit, Topeka, Marietta and
Castine.3
The moysmert of these ships north

and more particularly to the desire to

Washington, Aug 9.-Retrenchment

nave been issued which will reduce
this number tWo-thirds.

WHAT GARRISON IS.
A New Language That Imrerialists
Should Learn at Once.

The new language "Clarison." is an
improvement on Volapuk, yet at first
glance it appears an awful mixture,
says the New York Press. 1t looks in
print like Italian and French, but has
a different sound from either. Here is
a sample;
''Posta estis yo vidu descender da ii
cello an altri angelu, Gu avu grandi oto-
ran; en- ii tero slumu da gloric. En- lu
clamu co pevril voco, dicant."
This in plain English is:
After these thing 1 saw descending
from heaven another angel, who had
great authority, and the earth was
lightened by his glory And he cried
aloud with a mighty voice and said.
Garrison is clear, sonorous. expressive
and emphatic. It is less thin than Ital-
ian, less cultural than Spanish, and al
together eliminates the nasal vowel
sounds of French and Portuguese.
Compound lenses are not separated, as
in most modern tongues. Neither Il
have often struck him" (as in EnglishD,
nor Il have him often struck" Gas in
Germany, is allowable. The sentence in
Garrison is: ''Yo ave frapi lun frecora'
Il have struck him often). The French
form would be- lie TAI solvent
frappe." 1t is claimed by the author
of Garrison that any person over u
years of age who knows French, Span
ish, Portuguese or italian will be able
TO learn all the rules of the new tongue
in few hours, and can currently speak
and write it within two or three weeks.
The English speaking student of ordi-
nary intelligence can. he declares, read
the language in less than two months,
and speak it tluently in three or four.

MONITORS FOR GUARD DUTY.

We're built for service IL the civil war,
several of them bearing scars of conflict
after 80 years of disuse, were restored
to excellent condition soon after the
Maine was blown up, come of them be-
ing equipped with entirely new water
tube boilers, and having the benefit of
extensive improvements. During the
WaT with Spain they have been manned
by naval militiamen, and constituted
the chief source of strength of the aux
iliary naval force guarding the At
laBtic coast Orders were given sew
eral days ago to place them out of
commission as soon as possible, and
leturn them to the League Island navy
yard until another emergency neces-
STATED their use. In the meantime,
however, the complicated problem in
Volved in maintaining law and order,
particularly in Cuba, led to cOnsidera-
ton of the availability of these vessels
as guardships, and the authorities
quickly reached the decision to utilize
them for that purpose. They draw ly
u feet of water, and each of them car
ries two 15-inch smooth bore guns in
its turret. 1t is intended that they
shall not only provide for the defense
of Cuban harbors against exterior as
saults, but their magazines are TO be
stored with large quantities of grape
and canister for the purpose of main
tanning order ashore, and the naval
officers, who will be especially selected
for these vessels on account of their
discretion and good judgment, will have
full authority TO disperse any mobs
which may come within range. In each !
