POWERFUL FLEET.
Sixteen Vessels of Various Glasses, Heade3
by the Indiana, Will See Soldiers
Safely Landed.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Another for
midable American fleet has been as
sembled, consisting of 10 warships of
various classes, headed by the big bat
tie ship Indiana, which for all round
effectiveness stands at the head of the
navy. This fleet is assem- bled at Port
Tampa and is to serve as a convoy
for the troop transports from that
point. The formation of this formid-
able convoy fleet is due to the re-
ports, more or less indefinite, that
Spanish ships were lurking between
Florida and Cuba with view of inter-
cepting the troop transports. The
navy department has not given serious
credit to these reports, yet they were
more or less circumStantial. In order
to avoid the slightest possibility of
dash by some Spanish ships against
the troop transports, this new fleet of
16 war ships was determined upon.
Whether it was ordered from Wash
ington or was due to the precautionary
measures of the officials in COM
mand in the south is not dis
closed. It is known only that Commo-
dore Remey, commander of the naval
base at Key West, has brought togeth-
er this powerful feet of conveys. It's
strong enough both in numbers of
ships, of individual ships and arma-
ment, to cope with any Spanish war
ship that might be at large in the
West Indies, and it entirely eliminates
any possible danger that might attend
the transporting of the army of inya-
sion to Cuba. Capt. Taylor,
who commands the Indiana, is
available as commander of this squad
! ron, although it is not disclosed def
nitely who will be it's chief Commo-
dore Watson is with the blockading
fleet off Havana and can not well be
spared from that position, which will
be maintained efficiently notwith
standing the drafts made to create
this large convoy squadron. Capt
| Taylor is regarded as one of the most
| judicious and capable officers in the
service, and should the squadron COM
| mand fall on him, it IS felt that it will
be in good hands. The Indiana will
! probably be the flag ship of the convoy
squadron. There probably will oe
battle ships, but it is not deemed adj
visable, for prudential reasons, to give
! the full list of the ships in exact de-
tail. The Indiana is considered one of
the most formidable ships afoat, be-
ing regarded by naval experts as SUI
perior as a fighting machine to the
ships of the Terrible class in the Brit
jsh navy. She has a displacement of
! 1O,2SS tons and has a main battery of
Is large guns besides many smaller
rapid fire and machine guns in her
secondary battery
WASHINGTON, June 11.-At last ac-
counts the fleet Of transports contain
ing the army of invasion for Santiago
was collected just outside of Tampa
waiting for a proper escort. The
stories of the phantom Spanish feet,
which no subordinate officers believe
at all, seem to have had weight with
| the president and his confidential adj
visers, with the result that it was de-
termined that the transports should
not even make the little journey from
Tampa to Key West without abundant
| protection.

Aa Anecdote by Mark Twain.

Years ago. as l have been told, a wild
owed descendant of the Audubon fam
lily, in desperate need, sold a perfect
copy of Audubon's Birds to a COM
mercialiy minded scholar in America
for 500. The book was worth 81 900 in
the market. The scholar complimentcd
himself upon his shrewd stroke of bust
ness. That was not Hammond Trum-
bulls style. After the war a lady in the
far south wrote him that among the
wreckage of her better days she had a
book which some had told her was
worth 500, and had advised her to offer
it to him; she added that she was very
poor, and that if he would buy it at that
price, it. would be a great favor to her.
1t was Eliot's Indian Bible. Trumbull
answered that if it was perfect copy it
had an established market value, like Il
gold coin, and was worth $1,000; that
if she would send it to him he would eX-
anime it, and if it proved to be perfect
he would sell it to the British museum
and forward the money to her. 1t did
prove to be perfect. and she got her

The following is from the School
Journal and is very applicable to US
as teachers during vacation days;
A Lying tree grows; so does nv
ing teac her. What is it for a teach
er to grow? 1t involves II better as

ledge he has alrea dy, together with
an increase OF the amount; it in
wolves increased power and skill in
the ability to do.
One trouble about the matter is
that many suppose that the only
requisite to growth is more facts,
the only method to growth is to de-
your books. The truth is that
many people who read good books
read too many of them. Their
course is like that of one who should
seek physical health and strength
by constant examining OF the stom-
ach. What they need is to read less
and think more.
So, it will be seen that one may
grow in vacation without porting
over a book all of the time; neither
need he be confined within doors in
library or laboratory.
In the woods, under the apple-tree,
beside the trout brook, on the sea
shore, rowing quietly on the lake, or
lounging up the mountain side, all
those, and Others equally restful,
are excellent conditions for growth.
Vacation is an excellent time for
growth. And growth and rest are
altogether compatible, when one
knows how to harmonic both"
