A COURT MARTIAL.

SOLDIERS AT MONTCHANIN ARE
BECOMING TIRED or THEIR
DUTIES GUARDING DUPoNTs
MILLS.
The Pennsylvania soldiers in camp
at Montchanin hope the rimors OF the
last few days, that they are TO be or
dered to the front, will prove true. AL
though their location is Of the pleas
ATTEST, their duties of guarding the Du-
Pont powder works have become some
what tiresome, and they would prefer
some more active service. In the two
months they have been at Montchanin
little has occurred to indicate any at
tempts OF suspicious characters to OBJ
tain AN entrance to the powder yards
The soldiers are anxious to move to
the front, but the battalion is not yet
in condition to do that, for the reason
that thirty-one men in each of the fve
companies still lack uniforms. All the
men have rifles, but many need cart
ridge belts. Since entering the service
OF the government none of them has
received underclothing. Colonel John
Biddle Porter, who is in command of
the regiment, is expecting the re-
mainder of the needed articles every
day.
Since the last pay day a good many
disappeared from camp, and some are
still missing. Two men have appar-
emily gone with the intention OF re-
naming away, and should they be ap-
pretended will have to answer the Sc
rious charge of desertion. A still more
serious offense occurred lately, one OF
the guard being found asleep at his
post. His place was one of the sta
tlons surrounding the camp. The of
fense ranks as capital one, and a
general court-martial Is expected to be
called to try the offender. Orders for
the general court-martial must come
from the headquarters of the Depart
ment of the East at Governors Island.
Yesterday was a very enjoyable day
and several hundred visitors were
present. Chaplain H. c. McCook, ID.
H., conducted services in the morning
in the grove adjoining the DUPONT
burial ground. In accordance with
general orders, the men turned out IN
a body and participated in the interest
ing exercises. America was sung

BRITISH FLEET SAILS


From Halifax to oBcrmuda-Import OF the
Movement.
LONDON, March 2S.-The dispatch OF
the British fleet from Halifax to Ber-
muda following the agitation for an An
glo-American alliance Is considerably
commented upon by diplomats. The aus
thorlties explain that 1t is merely con-
sldered desirable that British ships
should be in the vicinity OF Cuba in or
der to safeguard British commerce and
British subjects in case OF war. The
idea OF tAnglo-American cooperation in
Cuba Is secuted.
A diplomat who Is conversant with
the inside negotiations on the Cuban
question, said: "If Spain and the CnI-
ted States 60 to war they will fight
without an ally on either side. The Uni
ted States does not need an ally and
Spain cannot get one. The United
States will, however, have the sym
pathy Of Great Britain, and Spain will
have the sympathy OF all the continen-
tai powers, but their attitude may bo
depended upon not 20 exceed sympa-
thetlc inaction. NJ. Hanotaux's speech
in the chamber OF deputies on Saturday
was the second death blow to Spain's
fondest hope OF help. Austria would be
willing to intervene. but she Is unable
to do so. Germany is the European ma
tion which Is most hostile to the United
States. this hostility emanating directly
from the emperor and the circle reflect
Ing his personal opinion. It arises out Of
the growing realization that the United
States is the greatest commercial rival
OF Germany"

K Decided Menace,


Decided Menace.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2S.-The
customary activity, which has prevail-
ed In all branches of the war and navy
departments for the past month, was
apparent again to-day. Particularly
was this the case in the latter where
Secretary. Long and Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt were on hand early, holding
conferences, with bureau chiefs and a
number Of visitors who had business

There was no additional information
at the department relating to the loca-
tlon OF the Spanish torpedo boat llotil-
Ia. now on its way 10 Puerto Rico from
the Canarles, excepting that It was ad-
yancing steadily. The highest naval
authorities continue to say that this
movement Is the most formidable men,
AGE to. ships OF our navy, that has yet
occurred.
The most significant OF The naval or
ders issued by the navy department to-
day was the detachment of Comman-
der Horace Eller, from Cramps ship
yard, and ordering him to duty on the
Mosquito fleet" This auxiliary. organ
ization OF the navy 10 be called into ac-
tive service in time of war Is to be
composed OF small crafts OF all kinds.
that may be obtainable by the depart
ment upon which a gun may be mount
ed and other defensive devices placed.
The fact that the organization Is to be
composed exclusively of small craft of
all descriptions that may be available,
gives the cause for Its designation as
"The Mosquito fleet" Its prospective
formation IS the result of observations
and the work of the naval college for
the past five years and the officials be-
lieve that with .the material that may
be available and the manning OF the
vessels by the naval militia OF the
states formidable organization OF Its
kind will result. .a5a
