NAVAL COALING STATIONS.
Their Importance in Worldwide Ma
 val Operations


 Their Importance in Worldwide Ma
 val Operations.
 Nothing has been more clearly taught by the war than the all-importance of coaling facilities and coal supply to the weaker navy. The strong navy can seize bases and anchorages for it's needs, if it does not appropriate to it's own uses the enemy's coaling stations. This is what Admiral Dewey did at Manila Neutras are tending to in- crease the stringency of the conditions under which beligerents are allowed to obtain supplies of fuel in their ports, and very rightly so. Admiral Cervera S operations in the West Indies were greatly hampered by the fact that he found it hard to get coal. The nominal supply of his cruisers was excellent; they all carried from 1000 to 1900 tons, and had in theory radiuses of action of about 10000 miles. Unfortunately how ever, theory and practice do not always coincide, and in coal-endurance less than anywhere Instead of being able to steam to Cuba from St. Vincent and back again without replenishing his bunkers he was compelled to put into Curacoa after covering little over 5000 miles, and then was only allowed a very limited supply for two of his ships. That he did not attempt to fill his bunk CTS from colliers in some unfrequented anchorage, such as abound in West h. dian waters, seems extraordinary. This is a perfectly feasible operation, and as it was not essayed, we are bound to conclude either that the colliers were wanting-if so, another example of Spanish mismanagement-or that be- ing a weak power, Spain was afraid to risk trouble with the South American and Central American states. In a war between two strong navies we may expect to see much more disregard for the rights of weak neutrals,
 Camara's voyage to the Philippines came to an untimely end at Suez quite as much because of the coal difficulty as because his fleet was wanted for the defense of the Spanish littoral. Had he steamed east, he would not have been allowed by Egypt, France, Italy. or Turkey-the powers which hold the shores of the Red sea-to coal on their coasts or their harpors. He must have struggled as far as Colombo or Sin gapore before the rules of international law would have allowed him to fill his bunkers with fuel to take him to Manila. His helplessness, coming so close upon the voyages of the Deutschland and Gefon, and of the Navarin and Sissoi Velik to the far east-voyages which would have been almost impossible had England closed her coaling stations to these rival powers-has not escaped notice on the continent of Europe. France, under the guidance of M. Lock- roy, is preparing to fortify and provide with docks the chain of harbors which link Touon and Madagascar Germany is eagerly looking for points of strategic value on the trade routes, but I greatly fear that she will find none.

 he seized the line with his right hand and hauled in. With a tremendous swirl the great fish tried to free himself, but the massive hook held. In another instant he was near the top of the water, jerking the pirogue about as if it were cork.

 Alphonse Guillaume de Coco stays
 right here and jugs the catfish. He is
 somewhere around seve nty-fve years
 old. His wool is as white as the great
 cranes which stalk along the bayous,
 He measures fifty-six inches about the
 middle, weighs two hundred and seven-
 ty pounds and has five distinct chins. His laugh is al mellow as Trinity bells
 It comes easily and rolls roundly upon

 There is no close season on catfish, SD AlphCnse jugs all the year round. On lowering winter days, when the gale from the north howls down the mile- wide stream and great red-colored bill lows race before it, he is seen far out in his progue watching his jugs, but he loves better these times of summer, when the sun sends the mercury nearly to hundred in the shade, and the great, glassy river looks like q snake twisting between it's banks, so smooth is it. At such times the snOw-white head of Alphonse is visible long way, for he never wore a hat in his life, nor an overcoat, nor shoes, except when he goes to mass and Bebee makes him put them on. Last week he had an order for all of the fish he could furnish, and the mayor hired him to barbecue them whole for the Fourth of July mass and picnic. There had not b en a celebration of the Fourth in Point Coupee since 1860, but the mayor said everybody was going to turn out this year and make the universe hump it. self. Alphonse waddled down to the cabin and told Beebee about the blessed mayor and his contract, and Bebee looked at her handbook and smiled. Sunday morning they went to early mass and prayed that the Holy Virgin would make the catfish hungrier than ever before, and, when the sun was only I little way high, they dipped their paddles in the water and the pirogues shot out into the current. Alphonse was in the big boat, which he made rom a great cedar that the river down a long time ago.

gifts 10 her. She emphadcaly denied that
she had ever been PHOTOGRAPHER with Bar

CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEET.
Discuss Proposed Amendments to
Their Constitution.

Discuss Proposed Amendments to
Their Constitution.
Lafayette McLaws Camp of Confederate
Veterans held it's monthly meeting at Con-
federate Hall last night. Little other
than routine business was transacted.
Two applications for membership were
read for the first time and referred to the
proper committee. Communications from
the headquarters of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans, at New Orleans, were read
and DISCUSSED. The communications had
reference to proposed amendments 20 the
constitution, which are to be offered at he
annual reunion at Charleston, on May 10,
Il, u and IL.
1t is suggested in one of the proposed
amendments that the name of the associ-
alton be changed from United Confeder-
ate Veterans to Confederate Survivors As
ISOLATION. The other amendment has ref
erence to the form and design of the
badge. This It is thought advisable to
change slightly, still preserving the dis
tinctive emblem it now bears Confed-
crate battle flag, and have the
badge patented. AS things now
stand, the badge may be worn
nv any one If 1t be patented, as
legally only by members of the associa-
ton. and will thus become the insignia Of
distinguished service.
This amendment the veterans highly APP
proved and it is almost certain that their
delegate to the convention will be in
structed to vote for it and to urge its
adoption While it is not known that any
one has worn the badge or that it has
been put to purposes the association would
not approve, the veterans feel that 1t is
best to make such things impossible.
While the amendments were discussed,
no decisive action was taken. When the
camps delegate to the reunion is elected,
which will probably be in March, he will
also be instructed how to vote when the
amendments are put upon their passage.
There was fair attendance at the meet
ing. This was the first monthly meeting
the camp has held, its meetings heretofore
having been held quarterly. After this
the camp will meet regularly upon the
third Tuesday in each month.
