a Squadron of Peace.

Admiral SIMPSONS squadron, which be-
gan its spring cruise in Gulf waters this
week, is only a part Of the North Atlantic
fleet, but it includes the armored cruisers
New York and Brooklyn and the battleships
Indiana and Texas, besides the Marblehead,
Detroit, Machias and Supply. The itinerary
from Puerto Cortez. Honduras, includes
Guantanamo, where the squadron is due
toward the end Of the coming week; King
ston, Cartagcna, La Guayra, Trinidad, Bar
bados, st. Lucia, Martinique and San Juan,
which is to be left on May Day, when the
squadron will return North.
The contrast between the movements Of
this command now Hnd a year ago are
striking. Then it was preparing for the
war which yielded it so much glory and
accomplished results so great, but mean
while was restricted to the waters near our
coast because it seemed important to
in nOwise menace Spain. Now it resumes,
after several years, its annual cruise to all
parts Of the Gulf and Caribbean waters,
which have become more than ever the
American Mediterranean.
In some respects the spring cruise OF
the squadron is not on as larg" n scale as
was expected. Circumstances have caused
a reduction in its numbers. Not only have
the Oregon and Iowa been sent to the
Pacific, but Admiral DEWEY has needed
such gunboats "a could be spared. while
the Massachusetts, since her accident, has
been at the Brooklyn yard, where also is
the New Orleans, while the Chicago is
required at Havana. But the Newark,
which has been under repair, will soon be
in the Gulf. and. no doubt, the cruise. with
its drills and exercises, will be useful to
all that tax" part in it.
