Visitor From China.

Ear johnson, the young son of For
eign Consul A. B. johnson who recently
arrived in this city from the Orient nc.
companying his young sister alone on
this long trip, very kindly accorded the
Sentinel short interview this morn
iDg.
He said in answer to an inquery that
they had no trouble whatever on their
long trip over the Pacific and that
while they had several storms Of con-
siderable force they did not feel in the
least afraid. Young Johnson talks
Chinese like a native. He says that
children and all young people acquire
the language very readily but that it is
very hard for persons Of any age to ac-
quire the language. There are many
dialects in China and the people of one
province are oftimes unable to under
stand the people of another.
Annoy is situat ID on an island about
five miles from the main land and while
a very delightful place to live is quite
warm in summer, says the young man.
Two days after the battle Of Manila,
at which Dewey made name for him
self which will stand as lolg as the
world stands tie Vice Consul under Mr..
Johnson, Mrs. johnson, and the yonng
man and his sister set sail from Annoy
for Manila and saw the ships that had
been sunk in the harbor, part Of the
proud naval feet, which expected that
it could whip anything afoat. The
party visited the soldiers Of the Color
ado regiment and took several meals
with them. The young lady and gentle
man have come to this country to at
tend school and will go this fall to Col
orado Springs and win remain there un-
til their fathers return from his post OF
duty.

port on August l. The average trip for
a mail steamer from Yokoha ma to this

have been averaging seventeen and

Personally the Kaiser has more
faith in the captive balloon than in
any other optical means for telegraph

furnished with means for photograph

municate with those on the ground by
means of the telegraph or tele-
phone. For telegraphing an instru-
ment similar to the Morse apparatus,
arranged in compact form, is used.
The system is practically that used in

tation, the erection and operating OF
the apparatuses. Each German signal
station is manned by five privates, a
non-commissioned officer and lieu

In the English army similar num-
Der of signal men are employed with
each company, squadron of cavalry
and battery. The French employ eight
instead of five men; the Russians think
four men of each company sufficient
for the service.
The French army employs as opti-
cal telegraph flags and lanterns. The
flags are worked according to the naval
code and Morse alphabet. French
signalers are said to be able to execute
100 movements per minute. To sig
nal the dot of the Morse alphabet the
French hold up one flag. Two flags
represent the dash of the Morse al
