Washington August 20.-The mimic naval war began at noon today. Ad- miraI Higginson and Commander Pills bury, in command of the rival fleets. respectively designated the Blue and the White" the latter under the com mand of Commander Pillsbury being the attacking fleet, were supplied with confidential instructions, which went into effect at noon.
 The problem for the White" fleet, which is at sea. is to effect landing between Portland. Me, and Cape Cod before August p. To be successful the attacking fleet must seize some unde- tended anchorage between the points named-Portland harbor being includ- cd but not on Cacso bay-and hold It for six hours without being busted by q superior force. The instructions de fine the harbOr to be seized as one that must be capable of a gun and mine defense with not less than six fath- oms of water, anchorage for several large ships, and in all respects suitable for an advance base for the enemy's g fleet including heavy ships
 Under the instructions defining the character of the harbnr he must be able to seize Commander Pillsbury is much restricted. The Prairie. which is the heaviest draught vessel in his fleet, draws slightly under twenty. six feet. the Panther eighteen feet two inches and the Supply twenty feet. Naval or ficers have generally agreed that the chances against the White" squadron in the game which is on are very great. and that practically it's only chance of success will lie in the existence of a heavy fog, under cover of which Com mander Pillsbury might slip through the cordon of scouts and reach an an~ chOrage in the undefended port. The distance between Cape Cod, the south ern extremity of the coast defended by Admiral HigginsCn's fleet. and Port land, Maine, is only about 100 miles.
 In addition to the torpedo cra;t and his lightship. which hp could use as scouts and string along between these points, almost within signal distance of each other, while the heavier ships were held together. ready to move at some central point, Admiral Higginson has stationed ensigns all along the shore to report tho enemy the instant it is sighted. These naval officers will be reinforced by all the marine ob- servers along the coast. To win the White" squadron must be in port fol six hours without being confronted with a superior force. Within that time, after the White" squadron was sighted. Admiral HigginsCn. if he held his heavy ships midway between the two eXtremities of the line to be d2- fended. at Rockport, for instance could reach his enemy by steaming ter or eleven knots an hour.
 Another feature of the situation which will initiate against the chances c; the White" squadron is the instruc- tiOn which requires Commander Pills bury to enter the undefended harbor one with deep water approaches. with ''gix fathoms" of water, one ca pablo of defense by guns and mines, and one in which heavy ships could anchor. These restric tions will confinf him to at least a dozen harbors, among them Portland. Portsmouth. Rockport Salem and Provincetown.

He will take with him the best wishes of all his associates"

SURVEY WEARS COMPLETION.
NEWMAN ERB'S ROAD.

M. w. Wambaugh, chief engineer of the St. Louis, Memphis & South eastern railroad, was in Little Rock Saturday night. He has charge of the survey being made for the entension of the line, which is known as the Erb road, from Newman Erb, the president and promoter, from Hoxie to Little Rock. The preliminary sur vey is to be completed by the latter part of the week, and Mir. Wambaugh will then be enabled to make a rough estimate of the cost of construction. The party is now at Kerr's Station, in Lonoke county, and will remove their headquarters to North Little Rock in few days. The only towns of consequence touched by the road are Newport, Augusta and Des Arc. It is understood that the company has enough capital back of it to build the road Little Rock Democrat.

 The dog approached from Chastain Addition and may have bitten other dogs or animals before noticed There is no doubt but that the dog had the rabies and such animals as may have been bitten should be looked after until the danger period is passed

STATE ENCAMPMENT PROBABLE.

Major General w. H. Haynes, who also won the title of colonel in the Confederate service was here Friday on his return to Little Rock from Batesville. A more interesting talker than the doughty commander of the Arkansas State Guard seldom visits Newport and to talk with him is al- ways a pleasure. Major Haynes has done great work for the state milit- la, having organized 30 companies in the different towns of the state and this military force is to be increased by two troops of cavalry.
 He also interested himself in what is known as the Dick bill, which has already passed the national house and is ready for final reading by the sen- ate. He was instrumental in the framing of this measure, which has been taken up by the administration and IS certain to become an enact ment, when congress convenes this December Under this bill, the mil itia is provided for like the regular army and when called out for en- transportation and other expenses are paid for by the govern ment and the members receive the same pay as the regular army.
 Major Haynes is looking ahead to a state encampment next July to be held in Little Rock and is hopeful that it may be made an event of general state interest.

PROGRESS ON EXTENSION.

The track of the White River rail- road is now being laid fifteen miles beyond Penter's Bluff. Progress at that point has been delayed somewhat by the building of the bridge across Bishops Branch. Building bridges ac- cross the many streams running into the river on this line has been, and will continue to be, rather fruitful source of delay. The grading is being done all along the line with all the men and teams that can be had, and it is hoped cars will be running to Buffalo City on the first of January. The great amount of sickness among the men on the work has retarded re- suits. Chief Engineer Rohwer and Devereux are now inspecting routes beyond Buffalo, where the greatest difficulty is in finding a satisfactory way around Lees Mountain. Bates vile Guard.
