COMMANDER PILLSBURY

! period OF unccaSing toll, sleepless
nights OF anxious and wearing vigil
! and Of grave uncertainty to its partici-
pants.
! The surrounding and putting out of
, action OF the squadron in command of
! Commander Pillsbury was the culmi-
mating incident in one of the most in
terasting chapters in the peace history
of the American navy. For the placing
in operation Of the mancuvers of the
Warships off the coast of New England
the navy had long prepared itself and
had long looked forward to them with
keen anticipation.
AS planned by the naval authorities
at Washington two squadrons were to
be put into the game, one the blue, t.e
defending fleet, and the other the
white, to be a hostile fleet bent upon
e!fectiEg an anchorage into some I'M
protected harbor on the coast from
Cape Elizabeth to Cape Cod, opposed
all the time by the first named fleet.
This anchorage had to be maintained
against the defenders for period of
six hours.
Commander Pllsbnry's white squad
ron consisted of auxiliary cruisers
Prairie Magship), Panther aHGl SIMPLY.
The two former boats were each as
signed twenty points of fighting
strength, while the Supply was as
sumed to represent five points.
Admiral HigginsOn's fleet was actual
ly superior in the number Of its men,
bers, and, by the same arrangements
made as to the Pillsbury ships, it rep
resented grand total of ninety-seven
points of strength. The Kearsarge,
the Alabama and the Massachusetts,
battleships, were given twenty each, the
cruisers Brooklyn and Olympia eight
each, the Cincinnati and Montgomery,
Gloucester. Mayfower and Scorpion
three points each, while a number of
torpedo boats usade up the remaining
numbers
10 win in the mimic war the blue
squadron had to bring against the at
tacking vessels, as it did, warships
superior in their combined assumed
fighting power. Each side had the
right to capture individual craft of the
other fleet by overcoming them in
point of strength, and under the rules
of the game the captured vessels
of action.
In the defeat of Pilsbury the de-
Tense, with three battleships the Scor-
pion and with a single torpedo boat,
had Ga points, so that the balance was
against the attacking squadron. !
The capture came at the end of a !
night filed with rumors as to the loca-
ton of the attacking squadron. At
$50 p. m. the three battleshps of Hig-
ginson got under way in a hurry and
sailed to the eastward The intention
was to move on to Portland, and il
that had been carried out Admiral
Higginson, as It later developed, would
have unconsciously swung the balance
OF his fighting force to that end of the
coast line, as Pillsbury had intended he
should, but which was not done on &C.
count of heavy seas running outside
Cape Elizabeth. Higglnson, however,
detected his course back to Gloucester
after a swing scaward in response to
q report that the enemy had not been
sighted when 1t was believed she had
been, but In the last hours Of the night
sailed toward Cape Ann

Belief In Surrender of Aqua Dulcc

klNGSTON, jamaica, Aug. 25.-
Nothing definite IS known OH the 18TH
mus Of the situation Of the government
general Morales Bcrti at Aqua Dulce,
but many persons bc..2,c that General
Bert, after witi:standiug siege of
several days. during watch his forces
were subjected, chiefly during the
night, to d severe rti!lcry fire from
the Insurgents, perceived tie hopeless
ness Of receiving Ic-cnturceInents and
supplies from Panama ard was forced
to Surrender the troops Of his command
to the insurgents.
Nulncrs are current on the isthmus
that several detacllneuts Of Insurgents
have been seen at the various stations
Slong the railroad line between Colon
and Panama, ara an attack at either
end of the line is expected in certain
quarters to occur 1T any moment. Be
cause of the presence of insurgents
along the railroad the government is
most anxious to obtain REINFORCE
ments on the istHus as soon as pos
sible. Fresh trouble, however, is said
to be brewing in the interior of the re-
public, and owing to the frequent re-
fusal of steamships to carry govern
mcnt troops the bringing Of re- enforce-
ments to he isthmus is apparently no
easy matter.

RUSH TO CAPE NOME.
Twenty Steamships and Sailing Yes
 sels Ready for Service

Chicago, March 1O--The Inter- Oceans Tacoma correspondent says that the present winter rush to South western Alaska and Klondike districts bids fair to be outdone by the great movement to the gold camps at Cape Nome during the early spring and summer. Twenty steamships and sailing vessels have been announced for service in Nome trade during the season. These vessels have an ag- gregate freight carrying capacity of 10000 tons. They will furnish ac- commodations on the first trips alone for over 1000 passengers.
 So many passengers are already booked that shipping men are conti- dent that every available passage will be taken long before the steamers commence to sail. This is due to fire fact that Nome and tributary districts have now become permanent gold pro- ducers and that permanent facilities i'll the way of railroads, electric lights, telephones and other conveniences are being provided. These necessitate tue travel northward of many men, besides those engaged primarily in mining and the shipment of great quantities of freight. The steamship companies are receiving letters daily from New York and other places to reserve berths and freight space.

More Trouble For China.

PEKING, March 10.-Chinese off, cials are greatly disturbed over the conditions at Jehol (Chengte), about 100 miles northeast of Picking, where bandit soldiery have captured priest. An official of the foreign office declares that the Russians have already dis patched 300 troops to Jehol from the Manchurian border. The trouble began over the settlement of claims of native Christians, and it resulted in rioting be- tween the Christians and the non-Chris- tians. Brigands took advantage of these conditions to plunder the coun- try, and the Russian telegraphic con- nections were incidentally cut. The foreign office says that the captured priest is q Belgian.

No clew In KIump Case.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 10s The mystery surrounding the send. ing through the mail of q poisoned headache powder to Mrs. Ada Klump of Lowell, causing her death week ago, is seemingly no nearer a solution than on the day of the arrest of Will liam Klump, her husband, last Thurs day. The theory that some woman in the affections of Klump concocted the plot and carried it out still holds w4-a the officers who are conducting the investigation. Klump appears wor- ried and restless ill jail and is not dis posed to talk about his case. His brother visited him yesterday and ad- yised him to tell the truth, which William said he had done and would dO

SAN FRANCISCO, March IO.-Jo~ seph Hill, gunner on the United States training ship Pensacola and survivor of the Maine, has received official noti- fication from Washington that he is in- eligible for commission in the United States navy. The notice says that he passed with credit the moral, mental and physical examinations, but that he was lacking in professional qualifica- tions." Hill thus meets the same fate as Gunner Morgan, whose application for commission was adversely passed upon last year, Hill at present occu- pies the highest rank in the list of petty officers, and his pay as gunner would be more than that of ensign.

Norfolls stri,se Continues.

NORFOLK, Va, March 10,-l'ro;n present indications the strike is by no means over. It is very probable that the strikers will not accept the terms of settlement named by the arbitration committee of the chamber of com merce. Neither strikers nor company agreed to accept the arbitration dcci- sion. The main objections of the strikers are that they are required to work with nonunion men, that only 8 per cent of them will be re-employed and that they must sign the surety company bond. The cars ran yesterday under military guard, and at night the guard was dou- bled. The riot of Saturday night was the fiercest since the strike started, and several soldie and citizens were in. iured

VOTED GOLD MEDAL.
Carried Four Women Out of Burning
 Building With Great Risk.

Kokomo, Ind, March 10.-The city council has voted a gold medal to Frank Wyatt, a pan-Handle railway engineer, for bravery. The local lodges of the order of Odd Fellows and Red Men also voted medals and cash to him, although Wyatt is not a mem Der of either order.
 Wyatt left his engine at the natural gas explosions last week and carried four women out of burning buildings, rushing through a mass of flames to rescue them. The women were Mrs Ida Achay, Mrs Elizabeth Phillipps, Mrs Mary Harrington and Mrs Mary Sturgeon. The two former died of their injuries, but the others may re- cover. Wyatt was himself badly burned in pulling one of the women from under fallen chimney.

She left Iliamna February 2S at which time no signs had been seen of the long expected mail car- riers from Nome, although they were looked for almost daily. The steam CT reports a stampede from Valdes to the Bremen placer diggings 200 miners having left already. The city cleo tion at Valdes resulted in victory for the prospectors and miners.

City Electrically Pressey now has
the lighting and fire alarm systems
pretty well Strengthened out. He, with
two assistants, has been at work for
weeks overhauling the wires and put
ting them in good shape. Some queer
tangles and mixups have been found
and it was little wonder that there was
trouble with both systems. There has
been but little trouble with the lights
of late. The whole system is inspect
ed every night now after the current
is turned on and if there is trouble
anywhere in the city, it is remedied if
possible.
Needless wire has been taken down,
the lines changed over and made more
compact, slack wires frightened, the
lamps repaired and everything made
ship shape so far as possible. In sew
eral places where the wires were mixed
with the limbs of trees, outriggers have
been placed on the poles SO that the
limbs have been entirely freed.
The fire alarm has been overhauled
at the same time. This wire has been
found dangerously near heavy voltage
light wires in several places and
changed so as to make it secure. The
weak spot i'm the system now is the
auxiliary alarm which is not what is
wanted for the purpose. The system
is not heavy enough and gets out OF
order very easily. But little trouble
has been experienced with this of late
while the principal alarm has been in
good working order all the time. The
city wires are now in pretty good shape
and there will doubtless be but little
trouble with them in the future.
