A LETTER THAT GOES ALWAYS

From the Worcester (MassD Gazette.
Probably no letter in the whole world
in all time has been travelling for 10
long as that of the class of "A of Yale
college. Some so years ago some of the
members undertook TO keep a letter cir

whatever he considered would interest
the others. and whcr the epistle got
around to him again removing his PRIV
ious effort and replacing it with a new
one. So the letter went on its endless
way, year after year, and today 1t is
still moving, telling to the aged men
who are left of the class of "A what
their fellows are doing, of their sue
cesses and disappointments, of deaths,
too often, as the class dwindles away

 Official advices are to the effect that seven Spanish men-of-war are off Curacoa This number is some what surprising, in view of the fact that the fleet when it left Cape Verde consisted of seven ships, and one of this number, the Terror, is at Fort de France, Martinique. It is believed in naval circles that the place of the Terror has been taken by one of the small gun vessels which fled from Cuban or Porto Rico waters upon the approach of the American squadron.
 Taking advantage of the little light thrown on the movements of the Spanish fleet by their appearance off Curacoa, the authorities are mak-

This is the situation tonight, a situation liable to great change with in the next twenty-four hours. It is improving every moment of time given it, as a result of the present location of the Spanish men-of-war. The Naval War Board was in session to-day, and when it adjourned at late hour the members were confident that they had taken every precaution that their naval experience and best judgment dictated to defend their country and bring an early defeat to the enemy's force.
 On account of the lack of reliable information concerning the Spanish fleet, the Naval War Board has been greatly handicapped in it's work of preparing the plan for encompassing it's destruction. As the Herald has ago from an English source that col Hers carrying coal had left England before that Government declared neu- trality for the coast of Vene- zuela. It develops to-day that in-
 
 stead of two colliers, as has been be- lieved, there were four of these ves- sels, carrying about 5000 tons of coal, sufficient to recoal every ship of the Spanish squadron. It is believed by members of the board that the arrival of the Spanish squadron at Curacoa was due to the. necessity of communi- eating with the colliers in order to appoint rendezvous along the Vene- zuelan coast, where the coal can be taken aboard without interruption from American ships or heavy sea-
 It is estimated by naval experts that the enemy's men-of-war have practically exhausted their supply of fuel, and that before making any other point they must recoal. This operation, it is expected, will occupy at least two days, so that after the men-of-war leave Curacoa 1t is not
