WHITE SQUADRON CAPTURED

Commander Pillsbury's white squi d
ron, representing hostile naval free,
was captured early yesterday morning
off the summer settlement of Magnolia
by Rear Admiral Higginson' blue squad
ron. the home defense contingent. Pills
bury was trying to steal into Salem
Mass. harbor, almost under his oPpo-
nent's nose. ,
The blOOdless victory was achieved
after night of hard work and anxiety
on board the battleships. The vigilance
and the acumen displayed by Admi
lIiggingscn was mainly responsible Tor
the result, which demonstrated in a
large measure the splendid efficiency and
usefulness Of the navy in guarding the
coast from hostile invasion. With Com
mander Pillsbury's surrender the first
naval war game came to an end.
Day had hardly dawned when a keen
eyed signal boy of the kearsargc, Dan
iel H. Stable, picked up tie Prairie, the
Panther gnd the Supply, composing
Pillsbury's hostile squadron. The enc
my's force was only few miles OIL
shore and steaming at fair rate IN the
direction Of Sale.r. The kearsarge,
with her consorts, the Alabama and the
Massachusetts, lying near b., was an
chored near Thatcher's Island and less
than three miles off Rockport.
Pillsbury was heading northeast, and
was about fifteen miles to the southward
Of the Kearsarge. Stable knew the
enemys ships in moment He gave
the almm Immediately.
In ton minutes the Kearsage and the
Alabama and the Massachusetts, had an
chors up and were headed for the hos
tile squadron, going at clipping rate.
Every one of them had a bone in her
teeth, sure enough.
Tie big flagship fairly leaped through
the water, getting up Il iiiteen-knot
speed within almost as many seconds
after she was started. Close behind came
the Alabama, and behind her the MasSa-
chusettS.
Commander Pillsbury saw that the
game was up, and stopped his engines
to wait for his opponents to draw near
1t was 4:20 O'Clock, when the white
squadron was sighted. At 3 O'Clock the
crews of the blue were summon cd to
quarters.
At 5;35 Admiral Higginson called on
pillsbury to surrender. Five III nutes
later the commander Of the-white squad
ron gracefully complied, sending up, a
flag signal to that effect. Then the
blue squadron hove to and Comm amer
Pillsbury came aboard the Kearsage,
where he and Admiral Higginson said
pleasant things to each other
When this was over the ke8rsage,
the Alabama, and the Massachusetts
went back to Rockport to await the re-
assembling Of the entire fleet, dispatch
boats being sent out in the meantime tc
gather in the guard and picket vessels
strung out along the coast between
Portland and Cape Cod.
The need of wireless telegraphy was
made apparent during the operations.

Nor TO SPRING DEATH TRAP.-Mrs.
Ella Hall, the young woman OF Berrieh
county, Ga, who applied to the sheriff
and received permission to spring the
trap that would launch Boisy Bryant, a
negro. into eternity, has decided that
she does not care for the job. Bryant
murdered Mrs. Halls father, W. "A.
Hands who was the marshal OF Adei'
While seeking to arrest Bryant, who was
wanted for gambling, the marshal was
killed hv the negro. Mrs. Hall declared
that her fathers spirit was crying out
for vengeance to be wreaked by her
hands upon his murderer, and 1t was
then that she sought permission to
spring the death trap. The murderer
had been duly tried and sentenced to be
hanged on September u, and the sherlli
was nothing loath to allow Mrs. Hal
her coveted vengeance. Newspaper
comments have made her see the matter
in a different light, however, and she
has changed her request TO simpler
though grewsome one, that foF PeFmis
sion to cut down the body OF Bryan
after death has claimed him.

A correspondent visited General Matos,

The general was full of hope. He said
he had ordered all his military chiefs
to concentrate their forces and march
in the direction of Alta Gracia, about
fifty miles southwest of Barcelona,
whence the troops will move later OH
Caracas.
Generals Riera, Mendoza, Batalla
and Sanchez. with about $1,000 men,
recently left San Carlos, distant 100
miles from Alta Gracin, as Il result of
this order. but they cannot reach the
latter place before fortnight has
