THE FLYING SQUADRON
Returns to Port After the Practice
Cruise

FORT MONROE ION board the flagship
Brooklyn, Hampton Roads, Va.), April
15.-The flying squadron, the departure of
which caused so much excitement on
Wednesday, returned today to anchorag ge
at Fort Monroe after having completed
two days and two nights of arduous labor,
with the satisfaction of its commanding
officer Commodore Schley wanted the
captains of the fleet to know each other in
the movements of their vessels and to be
able to answer quickly to all signals for
movements liable to be made in an en-
gagement Running down to Cape Henry
on Wednesday afternoon the squadron
was taken fifteen miles out to sea, at the
same time maneuvering in response TO the
signals from the flagship.
All of the big vessels responded quickly
the heavy battleships Massachusetts and
Texas being especially quick. Line of bat
tie was formed, with the Brooklyn on the
right, the Massachusetts to the left of the
Brooklyn, the Minneapolis to the left of
the Massachusetts, the Columbia next and
the Texas on her extreme left The signal
to anchor in line was obeyed so well that
an almost perfect alignment was obtained
Anchorage was made on Wednesday night
uIleen miles west Oh cape Charles light,
near the southern drill grounds
Thursday morning found very unfavora-
BILE conditions for either maneuvering or
using the guns, the weather being in
tensely dsagreeable, with a heavy rain
and hail storm and high sea- but Com
modore Schley decided to go out and begin
the maneuvers. The Massachusetts
dipped her low nose in the water time
after time, taking up tons of water, but
was handled beautifully, coming up to
alignment or circling more quickly tlyln
light cruiser The other vessels were
also quick to respond to signals. This drill,
was kept up all day and at night fall an
chorage was made al a point 137 miles from
Cape Charles. After dark signal work bv
electric light was practically practiced for
two hours.
AT o'clock when most of the officers md
men had prepared to retire the call to
quarters and battle calls were sounded
On the Brooklyn so quickly was the work
done that every division officer had re.
ported ''ready" in four minutes and the
ship was ready for battle with water tight
compartments closed, ammunition hoisted
to guns, turrets swinging. battle matches

rules was passed by both branches. Twen-
ty-nve minutes from the time the message
had been received the bill was signed by
the Governor and had become q law.
Manned by Reserves
WASHINGTON. April 15.-The Navy De-
partment this afternoon decided to assign
the Ave patriot ships Yosemite, Praire,
Dixie. Yankee and the recently purchased
Venezuela to the naval reserve of Mary
land, Massachusetts,. Michigan. New York
and New Jersey. Each vessel will be placed
in command Of a naval officer and will be

New Orleans Details
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Navy De-
partment today assigned Captain William
Folger, at present in charge of the Third
Lighthouse District, to command the New
Orleans with Lieutenant Commander A. p.
Osborne as executive officer. Many other
details for the ship were made.

give his act OF war in taking possession oc
Cuba a humanitarian aspect He proposes
to send merchant vessels loaded with
medicines and food and clothing for the
starving Cubans to Havana and Matan-
zas. These vessels will be accompanied, by
a fleet Of twenty warships and by traus-
ports, carrying regular United States
troops. They will land peaceaby and take
possession of the fortified towns, unlesa
Spain fires on them.
If Spain fires the first shot the battles
ships Indiana and Iowa and the monitors
Puritan aud Amphitrite will instantly
begin the bombardment of Havana with
their twelve and thirteen-inch guns. How
long the two-century-old fortifcations Of
Havana, with their Seventeenth-century
muzzle loading cannon, will stand against
the sixty-eight-ton guns of Capt. Samps
sons fleet is an interesting question. The
bombardment Is not likely to last longet
than the bombardment Of Alexandria by
the British fleet In 1SS3-about four hours.
The only thing that will remain will b(
for the United States torpedo boats to cleaf
| Havana harbor of the submarine mines
and the United States will be In possess.od

Country

master General John Wanamaker has sent
this telegram to Washington:
ITO the Honorable the Secretary of war:
Though opposed to war unless honorab bly,

partments and the other on the timekeep-
er s desk

military service, this notice is posted 20
say:
"First-That all the positions thus va
Gated will be reopened TO return TO when he
military service is over.

in full in such absence for actual service
and be paid to the authorized representa-
tive of their respective families.
''Third-An insurance. to the amount OF

Mr.. Wanamaker, in speech at Ashborne
last night, said:
1--WE know not to what we shall awake
with the morning light.
Thick shadows of the impending strife
of arms have settled down upon the land,
notwithstanding the hope against hope
that the awful costs of war in blood and
treasure might be saved with justice 10
both countries and with dignity and honor.
THE roll Of drums and the signal OF the
flying squadron are calling us TO war. Each
of us must consider his relations TO the
nation and adjust his affairs accordingly"

Is Given Eight Years at Folsom for
Embezzlement

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-James D.
Page, eX-District Attorney, thrice con-
victed of embezzling $4,000 estate belong
ing to an insane patient, whose guardian
he was was for the second time sentenced
to eight years imprisonment by Judge
Wallace today. If the Supreme Court
does not interfere he will eXpiate his
crime in Folsom State prison.
After his extradition from New York.
Page was tried, convicted and sentenced
to eight years imprisonment. Because.
however, of the fact that no formal de-
mand had been made upon Page for the
return OF the money, orders of court and
citations not appearing to count as de-
mands, the case was sent back for retrial.
Again Page appeared before jury. again
he was convicted, but Judge Wallace him
self granted Page new trial on this oc-
casion because, although a demand had
been made upon Page since the Supreme
Court had sent the case back, it had not
been so done as to comply with the re-
quirements of the law.

CRUELTY TO CUBANS
Described by Victim Of Spanish
Brutality

TOLEDO, O., April 15.-(Special to The
Herald.) Sonora Carmen Yata, sister-in-
law to the late Cuban general Maceo, to-
day told a shocking story of the massacre
by the Spaniards of her father, husband.
mother and five of her seven children.
She says they were mercilessly slaugh-
tered by the troops out of simple cruelty
and because they were suspected Of SYM
pathy with the patriots. Her husband
was member of the upper house of the
insular parliament, which is supposed to
represent Spain's local self-government in
Cuba.
She shows two bullet wounds and the
marks on her neck of a rope which was
used in an attempt to hang her. The de-
tails of her story are horrible and have
stirred intense feeling among those who
have heard them.
