work that should Re Given Imme-
dlate Attention.
The question OF transfer companies,
where the distance Is short from depois TO
hotels, reducing their rate 10 20 cents for
the round trip has received considerable
attention and has resulted In great many
companies reducing their rate as above. In
this connection 1t would be well for the
chairman OF the hotel committee to insist
on hotels charging 81 per day 10 put on
free bus or reduce their rates so that the
transfer and hotel bin combined I'm towns)
shall be only 81. Nine out of ten hotels In
the State OF Texas that charge SO per day
do not give value received. and where Il
Is found that they will not bring the SER
vice TO that point. where 1t Will merit this
charge, they should be prevailed upon Il
reduce their rate to LOO per day or less
as the case may warrant.

PREPARING FOR A LONG WAR.

AIger's Department to Buy More Ar
mor-Piercing Shells.
Washington, May 1.-THE war depart
ment shows no signs of relaxation in It's
war preparations, but appears to be MAX
ing ready for hostilities on the theory,
that they are to last a long time Thus
bids were opened to-day for supplying the
government a large number of armor
piercing shells of the largest calibers,
such as are used almost entirely by coast
defense guns in attacking, or repelling
heavily iron clad ships.
Another transport WAS chartered to-day
at Norfolk indicating that the movement
of the army in force upon Cuba is not
to be long delayed else the government
would not go to the needless expense of
chartering the boat Immediately.
Preparations for the expedition to the
Philippines also continue with unabated
vigor.
Some of the troops which are to go on
this expedition to the islands are already
on their way to San Francisco and every
effort is being made to have the others
who have been ordered there to proceed as
rapidly as possible. 1t Is not believed, how
ever, by the officials here that the expedi-
tio- cen start inside of a week.

AT precisely 4:2O the flagship sIgnalled
that she was ready to proceed and at 4:2a
the Brooklyn. the Massachusetts and Tex
as and the Scorpion were moving maJes-
tlcally down Hampton Roads for sea. the
water with scarce a ripple on 1t and tho
bright sun touching Old Glory as If in ten-
der benediction.
The temper Of the men on the squadron
was well illustrated by the ringing cheers
that echoed from the forecastle down to
the quarter deck and made Commodore
sehley remark with a smlle Those are
the boys for lighting"
Commodore schley refused to say where
he thought the fleet was bound for. buk
the fact that the collier Sterling accom-
panied them carrying 1850 tons OF extra
coal, and that each ship had on board ex-
ira coal and water, would seem to indicate
there Is lively work cut out for them.
II Is hard hghtins aggregation, this
flying squadron. under a cool and daring
fighter. The battleshlps Massachusetts,
and Texas are not equaled In lighting
power by anything in the Spanish navy,
and the Brooklyn Is the best fighting ship
of her kind In the world.
In totals the ships carry four 1s-incff
guns, two 12-inch guns, sixteen s-inch
guns. ten 6-inch guns. sixteen 5-inch guns
and an enormous battery of rapid-fire guns
Of smaller caliber.
AZ soon as the squadron WINS at sea-
active preparations were made 10 meet an
enemy. The ships were stripped for ac-
ton, all lights covered, ammunition sup-
piled to the guns and men sent 10 lighting
quarters for the night The ships are all
ammunitioned to their full carrying ca

men at the guns have been proven to ba
accurate marYmen.

as long as the light lasted and when he
retired said. Il have not been so happy in

Nearly every officer and man on the fag-
ship seemed TO think the same way.
