on the east coast Of the country, while
Rear Admiral Kempff has been as
signed to similar duty on the Pacific.
Another officer doubtless will be as
signed TO the gulf. These officers will
inspect conditions in their districts and
act under instructions from the general
board.
In conjunction with the scheme Of
defense plans for the grandest naval
maneuvers ever undertaken by the
United States government have been
made. These include naval drill and
mimic battles by the north Atlantic
squadron this summer and naval ma
neuvers in the West Indies next win
ter, in which almost the entire navy
will take part.
First it is proposed to have maneu-
vers of the army and navy with the OBJ
ject of defending the Long Island
sound approach to New York from
supposed hostile feet. This will take
place during the summer cruise Of the
north Atlantic squadron. This squad
ron will be increased to fifteen war
vessels, and it is the intention to have
10000 troops, regulars and militia, par
ticipate in the maneuvers.
On one side, as the plan has been
outlined by the navy department, there
will be the battleships Kearsarge, Mas
sachusetts and Indiana and the gun
boats Marietta, Machias, Cincinnati
and Winslow. Opposed to these will
be the battleships Illinois, Iowa and
Alabama and the gunboats Dolphin,
Eagle and one other. Rear Admiral
Higginson. on the Olympia, will COM
mand one fleet, while Rear Admiral
Coghlan, on the Brooklyn, will lead the
other.
This sort of work President Roose-
welt regards as of great benefit. He
proposes to have the army and navy
engage in maneuvers of this kind with
view Of giving them more expert
ence and training in warfare than they
can get in any other way.
On much more extensive scale will
be the maneuvers in the Caribbean sea
next winter orders for which have
been issued by the navy department.

AT these drills many other problems
besides accuracy of fire are worked
out. AS important as either rapidit?

One reason for our proficiency in

in vogue In some foreign countries,

Invented Steam Engine.
Gsstonia Gazette.

Gastonia Gazette.
~. A. jenkins has received
notice from the Commissioners
of Inventions that q patent has
been granted for his rotary en-
gine, Of which an account WOO
given some TIM sgo, in The
News. Mr.. Jenkins is in partner
ship with his father In law, j. f.
Ford, in receiving the patent.
They ssasiyed no'ic, Tuesday.
"Thexs are many advantages
in a rotary engine over the re
ciprooating engine. Mr.. Jenkins
patent is the only one that has
what is known as expansion in
creating power. There is no
back motion, no dead motion. 1t
takes less steam to run it than
it does the old reciprocating
motion cylinder, or a turbine
engine. Any engine can be
made on this plan. The rotary
engine is neat and takes up very
little space. There is less dan
ger than ia a cylinder.
"HuRdreds of efforts have been
made to invent one that will take
the place of the reciprocating en-
gine.
"Mr. Jenkins has his model at
Bessemer and it runs well.
Messrs. Jenkins and Ford do not
know what they will do with the
patent, but will offer it for sale,
and have already had offers"
