THE PLANS OF SUMNER
HE THINKS HE WILL oUTWIT
 HIGGINSoN.
Though Summers Fleet is Greatly Inferior, He Has g. Chance to
 Frustrate Schemes of His ! Opponent.

United States Flagship Iowa, Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, Dec. 2-Despite the superiority of Admiral Higginson' 8 squadron lover that of Admiral Sumner, the latter Is confident that he will be able during the coming naval war game to seize, without disaster, the port to form a base of operations against Cuba and the American port.
 AS a result of the conferences between Admirals Sumner and Crowinshield and the commanding officers of the vessels un- der their. command, most of whom have taken part in the naval college war games In the Caribbean Sea as the scene of operations,<a plan has been adopted which, it is asserted by those who know, is practically certain of success.
 The problem requires Admiral Sumner to fortify port with mines and guns. to do which he is allowed six hours. Should Admiral Higginson appear with supe- rior force before the expiration of that time Admiral Sumner will be considered Rs defeated.
 To determine the strength of the op- posing squad. ons the Department has Riven a battleship the value of 20 points; a heavily protected cruiser, points. a smaller protected cruiser. points; gum boat, points and a torpedo boat or ten- der l point each. ;.
 It is estimated that Admiral Higginson has 126 points and Admiral Sumner 66 points. If the estimate is correct 1t is claimed it would be folly for Admiral Hig9inson to divide his battleship squad ron, number 80 points and that they must act together so that on hearing of the arrival of Admiral Summers squadron he can hasten to attack 1t.
 Some officers believe that Admiral Hig- ginson will separate his battleships into two divisions and form division of fast cruisers which will hold the balance of power and reinforc' the battleships.
 It is believed here that Admiral Hig- Rinson has arranged with the United States Consuls and weather observers in the West Indies to report the appearance of Admiral Summers vessels and has made telephonic and telegraphtc arrange ments in Porto Rico so that if port of that island is attacked he will be immediately advised. The distance from Trinidad to the nearest base is 57O miles in a straight line and TOO miles by the outside course. Leaving Trinidad on Fri day morning Admiral Sumner cannot possibly reach his destination before Sun- day morning and he may proceed SLOWLY and arrive Monday or even later.
 All lights will be out at night except red lamp aft to serve as guide for the vessel following. It is permissible to hoist neutral colors in order to deceive the scouts of Admiral Higginson's squad ron. Admiral Sumner Is allowed to oror bis slow ships though he sacrifices points hv so doing and as his squadron is in ferior to that of Admiral Higginson, Ad- miral Sumner possibly will prefer to hold his vessels together as long as possible and be prepared to detach them on any attempt being made to entice them away m Admiral Higginson's scouts fighting him.

SLAIN BY MISSION AGENT.
South Street, New York, "Crimp' Meets
Death During Struggle.

NEW YORK, April "A terror depart
cd from South Street today when Pat Ma
lone died. He died by another's hand.
Strangely enough, the man who killed him
was the agent of the Episcopal Sailors
Mission. Alfred Childs.
Malone who had boarding house at 81
Congress Street, Brooklyn, has never been
known among the sailors and shipping
masters as a missionary. He had been ar
rested several time for assault.
II the story Childs told in the Central
police court is true he has been in fear of
bodily harm for some time. He has al
was been with the 'psalm-singingb board
ing houses" as the "crimps" call the
success in placing the missions men. and
he has been complaining that Malone and
q number of other have followed him.
Yesterday morning between . and 10
o'clock Childs said Malone and five or six
others jumped at him in South Street,
near Coenties Slip. Malone struck him
one blow in the back. which almost
knocked him down, and several o. the
others aimed kicks at him.
He went to the mission house at - Mar
ket Street and got revolver. He hung
around the mission reading rooms on
South Street. near South Ferry. until
about / o'clock and then started up
Whitehall Street. He was met by Malone
at Pearl Street Malone. Childs says, be-
gan to curse and threaten him.
They walked together down past the
Army Building. and then Malone struck
him. They scufiied and Childs took his re-
volver from his pocket and shot Malone
behind the ear.
When Malone's body was picked up
loaded billy was found under it. Childs
was turned over to the coroner by the
magistrate in the Centre Street court.

Trusteeship Dissolved So That Bride

- PoUGHKEEPSIE, April 3.--Ihe will Of
Captain Philip Clayton Rogers was set
aside by Surrogate Willett Hoysradt, Of
Duchess county. and as result Captain
Rogers daughters. Juliana and Virginia,
will divide evenly their fathers $4,000
estate.
John T. Nevins, a young lawyer of this
city. was appointed on, of the adminis-
traitors of the estate. Mr.. Nevins is to
marry Miss Virginia Rogers within two
weeks.
Captain Rogers left $50 400 outright to
his daughter Juliana: Virginia was also
left s35 900, but it was placed in trust
for her, Juliana being the trustee.
The captain was actuated in this by
his personal dislike of a suiter to whom
he believed his daughter Virginia would
be married. The chief ground upon which
the will was broken was because Virginia
did not marry the objectionable suitor,
but in fact was about TO marry another.
Miss Juliana Rogers will be married
to William Lawrence Lloyd of New York
city. on the same day that her sister is to
