manded by Admiral Sampson in the Span.
ish-American war to prevent the seizure OF
one of five ports within an area OF ITO miles,
Admiral Crowninshield says that after
having steamed 6,OO0 miles 1t is gratifying
to find his vessels in condition to win
signal victory.
1t is expected that Admiral Sumner will
sail tonight for Culebra Island, where he
will transfer his flag. Admiral Dewey Will
then org 1ize the fleet; Admiral Higginson
will have command Of the first squadron;
all the battle ships will be in the second d.
vision, which will be under command OF
Admiral Crowninshield. The second squad
ron, to include all the cruisers, will be I'M
der the command Of Admiral Sumner.
Victory Made Complete.
The San Francisco and the Atlanta ar
rived here this afternoon, thus completing
Admiral Summers squadron and making
his victory even greater than it was this
morning. Capt Walker, commanding the
San Francisco. who is senior officer Of the
division which took the Caribbean course to
Porto Rico, explained to Admiral Sumner
successfully deceived the scouts of Admiral
Higginson's fleet.
After arriving at the curve a short dis
lance below the point reached by the Iowa
and her consorts December 5. the San Fran
cisco, Atlanta, Nashville and Eagle, about
AiilCS apart, sIedHeu UelWeeH lho
islands of st. Lucia and St. Vincent until
they were directly south of the Danish
island of st. Thomas They then turned to
the north as if to make the eastern end of
Porto Rico.
At short distance from this latter island
the vessels of Capt. Walkers division turn
ed In the direction of Ponce. When they
arrived off that port last night the war
ships showed lights. Then steaming to the
south until they were out of sight of land
they astered their courses the Eagle and
Nashville proceeding directly for Mayaguez
and the San Francisco and Atlanta going
farther away to increase the deception.
This afternoon they made Mayaguez.
Tonight Admiral Sumner officially notified
the squadron that the problem had come to
an end.
During the evening eleven vessels Of the
blue squadron were sighted, but they did
not approach the port.
No Fever at Culebra.
Authoritative denial Of the recent reports
from Culebra to the effect that the sailors
of the North Atlantic squadron were under
going severe hardships in being required to
dig a canal under insanitary conditions Is
contained in the following cablegram re-
ceived at the Navy Department yesterday
from Admiral Dewey, dated San Juan, z.

William Gilbert Irwin writes from
Manila to the "Pittsburg Presbyterian
Banner:
'Tn Manila the Lenten season is
strictly observed, and to tell the truth
the people of Manila seem to be much
given to worship ut all times. In this
queer old Oriental city which has late
ly taken OH many Yankee airs one is
awakened long before daylight by the
melodies of the church bells and
chimes which are thus early sounded
in all parts of the city to awaken the
lazy residents for early Mass. 1t is
doubtful whether any other city in the
world has such melodious bells as Ma
Mia. The mingled tones of these come
to one from half a hundred churches
in all parts of the city. and soon the
streets are filled with men. women and
children Fastening to the different
houses of worship.
con Good Friday the churches are
lIllcu Will tIIc IJeIltciil, itIII tIc SlIcttS
are filled with queer professions All
the worshipers are garbed in the dark
habiliments of woe. In Manila every
one owns Il burial suit and these are
worn on Good Friday All the par
Elephants in the professions which
move through the streets on Good Fri
day are dressed in this sombre garb
while the dead march is played"
