VALUABLE LESSON
Taught by the American Navy In the
Spanish American War-.-Englnnd
Recognizes Value of Good Gunhery.

LONDON, July 22.-The determina-
ton of the Admiralty to improve the
gunnery of the navy has come Ifbne too
soon, in the opinion Of experts and
there is general satisfaction that the
authorities have decided to follow the
example of the United STATES navy and
double the allowance of ammunition
for firing practice. The recent "un-
pleaSantness" between the United
States and Spain demonstrating the
admirable gunnery of the American
navy coupled with official returns just
issued and showing that the best Brit
ish gunners failed to hit the target
seventy out of every one hundred shots
has awakened the Admiralty TO the
necessity of mending matters.
In his statement in the House OF
Commons yesterday relative to the
ship-building vote Right Hon. George
j. Goschen, first Lord of the Admiral
ty, practically corroborated the recent
statement of an admiralty official 70
the correspondent of The Associated
Press that for its size, the American
navy is as fine navy as ever existed
and much could be learned from 1t,
and that meanwhile he hoped that
naval intelligence would be enhanced
The mobilization of huge fleet en-
gagged in the present maneuvers Is carry
ing out a plan OF operations Of the most
interesting character. The plan supposes
Great Britain 10 be at war with a CONT
mental power and a convoy of British mer-
chant ships is crossing the Atlantic from
Halifax under small escort. The enemy
sends fleet to intercept the convoy and
Great Britain dispatches a fleet to inter
cept that of its adversary. The enemy
however relies upon numerous torpedo
boats issuing from irish ports for the
purpose of harassing the British while ne
captures the convoy. Great Britain. on the
other hand, relies upon torpedo boat de-
stroyers TO cope with the torpedo boats
and give free play to the sea-going ships.
The real battle is thus torpedo boats
against torpedo boat destroyers. The re-
suit must be most interesting and must
largely control the figure policy with re-
gard to the bglldingSof torpedo boat de-
stroyers.

A RFIENDLY BRUSH.

NEWPORT, r. l., July 22.-The Co

brush for a couple Of hours this after
noon, beating off the Brenton's reef
lightship for four miles in very light
and battling air and then running
back again under grand breeze from
the southeast which sent them along
at a ten knot gait The Defender had
more sail on than the Columbia, and
the latter towed smaH boat, yet the
aspirant for championship hOnors had
no difficulty in reaching the lightship
first in the run-in by a short eighth Of
mile and showed herself to be an
able boat on a wind reach in stiff
breeze. As there were no judges boat
in attendance and as the yachts did not
come together until half a mile beyond
the lightship there was Of course no
time taken, although the yachts were
close together nearly all the time.

lyn Have Lost all Force.
NEW YORK, July 22.-The street
railways men strike in Brooklyn is a
thing of the past. The time schedules
of the various surface railroads are to-
day practically restored and MAIN
tanned through the city and huburbs.
Aside from creased rails and the oca-
sional explosion of torpedo which
had been placed on the tracks by SYM
pathizers in the hope to frighten new
motormen nothing hindered the gener-
al operation of the roads during last
night.
While overt acts are no longer ap-
pretended, the police have not yet been
withdrawn from the cars on lines pass
ing through neighborhoods where in
reference might ocur.
1t is now generally believed that the
bullet which penetrated Detective Fos-
ters leg last night at Seventh avenue
and Fifth street, came from the revolt
yer of Detective Crane, who accom-
panied him. Only one shot was heard
and Crane fired that. John Condor
and Paul Boynes. who were arrested at
the time are striking motormen and
will be given an examination charged
with being Suspicious persons.
About o'clock this morning car
on the Rockaway avenue line started
from the Adams street police station
with thirteen policemen, in charge or
Sergeant Dillon, for Canarsie TO relieve
force that had been on duty there.
When the car reached Dumont avenue
it ran off blind" switch and upset,
throwing all on board down slight
embankment. Seven Of the poiicemen
were cut and bruised quite severely.
An ambulance surgeon was called and
their injuries were patched UP. The
mishap was accidental.
A Seventh avenue car ran over a tor
pedo at Fourteenth street at 2:30 this
morning, causing the conductor to stop.
The policeman accompanying the car
dismounted and proceeding further on,
expecting to discover more torpedoes,
found a piece of iron pipe ten inches
long filled with a yellow substance re-
sembling plaster. 1t had evidently
been placed there by some one with a
view to starting a dynamite bomb SEN
sation. The pipe was taken to the po-
lice station and found to be harmless.
The street railway strike in Manhat-
tan borough is practically at an end.
Cars are running on regular schedule
and there are no longer disturbances
of order.
About twenty men who struck, but
who are known to have taken no part
in the violent demonstrations so fire.
quent during the week, returned TO
work this morning.

DESPERATE ROBBERS
Adopt Novel Ruse to Get Squire Cheney
out of His House While They Looted 1t.
Special to the Register.

Auopt mover huse I'd 0ot squire NHonoJ
out of His House While They Looted 1t.
Special to the Register.
TOLEDO, Ohio, July PA desperate at
tempt was made to rob Squire Cheney
early this morning.
His dogs continued barking awakened
Cheney, and on going out, he discovered
his horses, cattle and other live stock had
all been turned out together in a lot near
the road. He fastened them up again and
went back to the house.
In about half an hour the dog again
caused him to make tour of investigation.
The stock had all been again turned out as
if ready to be driven away together.
Just as he reached the barn he was
startled by terrific screams from his wife
in the house. Hastily returning, he found
her in the clutches of couple of robbers.
who had succeeded, after nearly killing
her and beating her into insensibility, in
placing gag in her mouth, and tying her.
The robbers escaped before Cheney could
get his gun.
As soon as the wife could be aroused to
tell her story, and it was safe to leave her,
the husband went to the residence of d. n.
Snider, and in little while the town and
neighborhaad was aroused and posse of
nearly 200 people had turned out with guns
and dogs, in an effort to run the miscre-
ants down. As they returned toward the
house one of the men was seen sinking
about in the darkness. Snider opened fire
and wounded him, but he managed to es-
cape into the swamp and thick woods near
by, where the trail was lost.
Reports from Grelton tonight are that
Mrs. Cheney is thought to be dying from
the rough handling she received.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The lynch
ing of five Italians in Louisiana yester-
day promises to assume an internation-
al aspect through the action of the Ital-
ian government Count Vinchi, the
Italian Charge d'Affaires, called at the
State Department at an early hour this
morning and made representations to
the officials concerning the atrocity In
nation as a basis for action by this gov
eminent, Secretary Hay thereupon tel
egraphed the Governor OF Louisiana,
requesting all the facts in the case.
Count Vinchiis action was predicated
on reports from the Italian consular
officials in Louisiana and by the press
reports. There is reason to believe also
that the Italian foreign Office Is already
fully informed on the occurrences. Ii
is probable, however. that the represen-
tations of to-day are only preliminary,
with view to calling attention TO the
facts reported and to pave the way for
any protest or demand of reparation
which may follow. The affair is con-
sdered in official Italian quarters as
much like that in the Malta cases at
New Orleans while Mr.. Blaine was Sec
rotary of State. at which time the Ital-
ian minister, Baron Fava, called for his
passports and left the country. Baron
Fava is now in Rome on vacation. and
during his absence Count Vinchi has
charge OF Italian affairs in this country.
ROME. July 22.-The Fanfulla, COM
menting upon the lynching OF the Itali-
ans at Tallulah, in Madison parish.
Louisiana, yesterday, recalls similar
cases which occurred In the past, and
while stigmatizing such savage acts
deplores the indifferenceJo f the United
States government, which, the Fan
fulla says, has not the strength to van
quish fanatieal prejudtces and some
times, as in the case (of the shooting
of miners at Hazeltq1, refuses all ex-
PLANTATION.
The paper expresses the hope that
the Italian government will demand
and insist upon an explanation OF and
satisfaction for the lynching. The
other papers make no comment upon
the incident.
NEW ORLEANS, July GA dis
patch from Tailulah. La. says that the
