Norfolk. Va. May 27.-Amidst the
booming of cannon and the screaming
of steam whistles from tugs bay
steamers and ocean liners, the cap
tured Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes
arrived in port this afternoon. and
accompanying her a flotilla of thirty
six tugs, all profusely decorated in
flags. Cannon saluted as she was
towed through the harbor, and the
tug boats kept their whistles in an
almost continuous scream from the
time she rounded Lamberts Point
until the Navy Yard was reached. 1t

all along the water front on both

She was given a tumultous welcome
as she came up the harbor A veal h

whistle lever and there was label of

London, May 21.-The holidays have
brought stagnation in politics, Most of
the public attention has been directed
to the Hague Peace Conference and
the Anglo-American Commission. The
papers warmly approve of the unison of
the work of the American and British
delegates at the conference, and interest
i'll it is quickened by the prominence I'M
eXpectedly given to the arbitration ques-
ton, especially in view of NJ. DeStaafs
speech reversing the order of the points
submitted from that of the circular of
the Russian Minister of Foreign At
fairs. Count Muravieff. giving arbitra
ton the first place and containing only
"a minor reference to disarmament,
which was at first blazoned as the main
purpose of the conference. The Cars
scheme presented on Friday is very ella
borate and detailed, while the American
project is attractive by its business like
brevity and simplicity. The Daily News
correspondent at The Hague says it
appears to give Il satisfactory solution
of the problem presented by the Gar.
and that Great Britain, of course, will
support the American project.
Interesting speeches were delivered
this week by Lord Roseberry. John
Moreley and Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
Chancellor of the EXchequer. The first
named, after whimsical suggestion
that the speakers of the two parties
should change about for a time, the
ConSaryotivnS addressing liberals and
the Liberals addressing Conservatives,
thus enabling the public to hear both
sides, spoke of the exaggerated advan-
tage of wealth" pointing out that even
millionares could not eat more than
one dinner Il day. wear but one suit of
clothes, or ride more than one horse at
the same time, adding that the only
superiority that they possessed over the
poor was being able to command the
best medical advice and change of eli
mate. pointing out, however. that hos
pitfalls for the poor had lessened even
this SuueriOrity.

UTAH LIGHT ARTILLERY
GALLANT SERVICES RENDERED BY ITS
MEN IN PHILIPPINES.
Major Young Warmly Commends The 0rganiza-
ton for their Willingness to Work,
ntrepidi'y and fiiciency.

Washington. May 27.-NeXt in the
series of reports of the operations near
Manila which the War Department is
making public in connection with that
of Major General Macarthur, Is that of
Major Richard w. Young, of the famous
Utah Light Artillery.
Major Young's report is accompanied
by report from his subordinate off
GERS. All of these give Il detailed ne
count of the various movements made
by the component parts of this organlza-
ton. which appears to have participated
at an important point in every engage
ment which has taken place i'll Luzon.
In his report, which tells the storv of
the operations from February 9TH to
February 10Th, Major Young, after
describing The advance on Calcoocan,
says:
Il am satisfied that no troops during
this advance have performed more dan
gerous service than the detachment
under Lieutenant Seaman in their peril
Gus progress up the CalcoocNn road"
Major Young also mentions the good
work of two guns of the Sixth artillery
under Lieutenant A. :. Fleming. who
were assigned to his division in this ac-
ton.
He speaks of Grants and Critchlows
guns, which took part in the movement,
and Il compliment is also paid to Wedg-
woods battery, the men of which drag
ged their guns on the night of February
18th for three miles without assistance
and driving the enemy back in great
numbers, paved the way for the infantry
advance. These guns were served under
a heavy cross fire. the cannOneers having
little or no protection. Webb's two
guns are described as silencing the enc
my's fire in almost every instance over
an are of nearly $50 degrees. The two
NordenfeIdts, under Lieutenant Gibbs,
are said to have been handled with skill
and efficiency. In one case the guns
were brought down at double time on
800 yards slope in the face of heavy
fire. This was in open view Of the
enemy under close range, and was one
of the boldest and most commendable
acts of the campaign, says Major
Young
In conclusion he says:
Il desire to commend most heartily
and without distinction the officers and
men in the organization under my com
mand. The amount of labor done by
them in dragging guns and constructing
earthworks has been prOdigious. and it
has always been done cheerfully. All
have been fearless. Compelled to adj
vance along open roads, usually in plain
view of the enemy, without the oppor-
tunity of concealment, they have un-
served their guns. 1t has.
too, been feature of these operations
that in every advance the guns hav#
gone forward practically on the line of
Their willingness to work
and their intrepidity have not been
more conspicuous than the skill with
which they have handled their guns and
their accuracy OF aim
