maneuvers have ended in disappointment.

failing even to sight each other.
The naval authorities, however, are de-
lighted at the success with which the Brit
ish fleet found and conveyed safely to
Milford Haven the flotilla of food supply
shipped from Halifax. The maneuvers
were carried out under conditions which
might be expected to prevail in the event
of war with France. The latter pins her
steadily increases the number of her tor
pedo boat destroyers. Although dark and
misty nights were favorable TO the tor
pedo boats, they seemed to have COM
petely failed, while the destroyers fully
sustained the hopes of their advocates on
the few occasions when they came In con-
tact with the torpedo boats.
The maneuvers seem to have placed be-
yond question the value of the Marconi
telegraphic system. Admiral Demville re-
lied on it for information which could not
otherwise be obtained and successfully
transmitted information over distance
OF twenty to thirty miles. neither fog nor
darkness apparently interfering with the
transmission of messages. The experts are
satisfied wireless telegraphy adds infinitely
TO scouting.

WATCHING AMERICAN NAVY.
Agitation to Increase the Number of
German shiDs,

SHIPS.
copyrighted, 1899, by Associated Press J
Berlin. August 5.--A large portion of the
press this week calls attention to the
enormous proposed increase of the
American navy. The Ostasiatiche Lloyd
points out that America is now building
| forty-six war vessels and the construc-
ton OF twelve more was ordered during
the last session of congress. This, it adds.
in the near future will give a new COM
plexion to the Far Eastern question.
This article has been much commented
upon and number of papers In close re-
lation with the government have begun a
| campaign in favor of another large in
crease in the German navy. Even the con-
servative Neuste Nachrichten. the organ
of DR.. Miguel. the Prussian minister of
finance, strongly insists that such an in
crease Is necessary unless Germany wishes
to abdicate the influential position she has
acquired In the East" adding: Germany
must be able TO keep permanently at least
one division OF first-class ironclads in the
Far East"
The iirst torpedo boat of new type has
just been launched at the Schichau yards.
The fact that number of small torpedo
boats have been lost at sea during the last
I'VE years has induced the government to
abandon the smaller type. All the torpedo
boats built for Germany hereafter will be
Us metres long, drawing feet OF water
and Will be among the swiftest vessels of
their class. They will steam IS knots and
will have two tunnels and two turrets.

will hardly go to the length of activity
opposing any action America may see ut

Washington, August 5.---Hayti is In y
state OF ferment, perhaps from sympathy
with the neighboring state OF San Do
mingo. United States Minister Powell has
cabled the state department that the pres
ence of United States warship may be
required to insure the safety of the lega-
ton. The department is closely watch
Ing developments and has been in COM
munication with the naval department on
the subject. ready to dispatch orders on
short notice 10 Commanders Longnecker
and Logan of the New Orleans and Machias
respectively. These vessels are now at
Santo Domingo only half days sail
from Port Au Prince. and II is believed
VIII be quite sufficient to meet the min
ster's needs.
Washington, August 2.-United States
Consul Powell at Port au Prince has
cabled the state department that he has
received It's instructions relative to the
violation OF his legation and the arrest OF
Duvivier therein by Haytien officials He
has already notified the department that
upon his demand the Haytien government
promptly released Duyivier who Is now
enjoying an asylum In the legation.
Without making any explicit statement
as to the character OF Mr.. Poweli's in
structions, the officials OF the department
do not conceal their intention to proceed
deliberately In the matter and to refrain
from surrendering Duvlvier ii he is to be
made the victim OF arbitrary and illegal
methods.

would not be welcomed. Horrors COM

favor of an American protectorate with
