Will the esteemed editor of the
Hopkinsville Kentuckian kindly
tell us how he found out the Cou
rier-Journal is opposed to the pri-
mary? Certainly no utterance in
that paper since the hue and cry
was raised over the State primary
would lead one to conclude that
the Courier-Journal occupied a
position other than one of self-as-
sumed indifference. We have been
pretty careful reader of Mr.. Wat
terson's organ, but have never been
able to conclude whether that
paper is for or against State pri-
mary.-Blue Grass Clipper.

Port of Spain Island of Trinidad,
Wednesday, December 3.-Rear Admiral
Sumner has issued an order with respect
to the neutrality of Trinidad. With the
departure of the gunboat Eagle TINS
morning communication with the shore
ceased, and from now the movements OF
the "enemy's" squadron will be cloaked
in mystery. While Admiral Sumner has
not indicated when he proposes to sail,
the understanding among the officers OF
the vessels under his command and that
the squadron will leave the Gulf OF
Paria at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning.
There is lighthouse at Boca Grande,
the exit from the Gulf, and apprehension
is felt that the keeper may communicate
with the United States consul, who will
telegraph to Rear Admiral Higginson,
commanding the defending squadron, the
course and speed of the enemy" Con-
sequently Admiral Sumner proposes when
out of sight of land to change his course
and speed, and then proceed to the port
chosen for the scene of the attack.
1t is often the case that the course Of
the warships is followed by boxes and
other refuse thrown overheard There
fore. Admiral Sumner has decided that
such debris be put to sink Immediately
when thrown into the sea, or that 1T be
burned.
New code signals for use day and night
have been arranged in order to prevent
their being read by Admiral Higginson's
scouts.
Though his squadron is stronger than
the one commanded by Admiral Cervera,
Admiral Sumner declares that the prob
lem before him is more difficult than
that of the Spaniards, as the latter were
able to chose ports in Cuba as we'll as
in Porto Rico and Culebra. Moreover,
the Spaniards moved Ifcom the Cape
Verde Islands, while Admiral Sumner S
command is limited in regard to time.

THE NAVAL PROBLEM
Program Made Public by War
Department.
Communication With Shore Ceases---Move-
mnts Of the Enemy's Fleet Coaked
in Mystery.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec 4.-The Navy De-
partment has made public the elements
of the great naval search problem on
which the combined fleets are to begin
work tomorrow in the West Indies The
rules which are to govern in this mimic
warfare follows:
"The White fleet includes vessels of
commands of Rear Admirals Sumner and

mer The Blue fleet includes vessels
under Rear Admiral Higginson
'In the afternoon of December 5, the
Blue fleet learns that one of it's scouts

est, a position about 900 miles to the

THE White fleet represents an ad-
vanced detachment of an enemy whose
object is to secure base in the Porto
Rican waters between and including
Mayaguez, on the west, and Great Har-
Dor, Culebra, on the east; also to mine
the main ship channel of the port seized
before D. M, December 10th, at which
time the problem ends.

has worked one hour in laying mines be-

"The Blue force to win must: (a) With
a superior force meet the White fleet at

place a stairway in the rear of the build
ing, and also to build fire wall around
the freight elevator shaft in the rear.
The contractors came and looked the
building over, but nothing was done. Last
night our seventy rooms were all filled
and / should judge that we had about
125 or $50 guests. From what l can
learn the fire originated in the rear OF
the building on the second floor. This
probably accounts for the escape of guests
who occupied front rooms on the upper
floors They had an opportunity to reach
the stairway before the flames reached
that part of the building, but the occu-
pants of the rear rooms were cut off by
the flames. Most of our guests last night
were persons who came to Chicago to
visit the stock show and knew little Of
the building"
Chief Musham, of the fire department.
said that in some ways it was the worst
fire he had attended during his career as
a fireman, and that so dense was the
smoke that it was impossible to reach
the imprisoned guests, who died like
rats in a cage. When the firemen finally
managed to make their way into the
room the sight that met their gaze was
appalling. Men and boys lay about the
floors of the rooms and Railways where
they had fallen in their eagerne5s to
escape.
1.-The building said the chief, twas
one of the worst fire traps | ever have
seen. The floors in places had cracks in
them large enough to drop penny
through and the smoke lust sfted
through and suffocated the inmates of
the rooms before they had time to make
their way into the Railways"
A jury was impaneled this afternoon
by Coroner Trager to ascertain the
the causes of the disaster and to fix the
guilt for Negligence. After viewing the
bodies of the victims of the fire the jury
went to the hotel, where an examination
was made of the premises. The jurors
were then dismissed to meet for the in
quest, which will begin De 2ember Il. At
the conclusion of the inspection, Coroner
Tracer said:
1.-The fire undoubtedly was caused by
the explosion of an oil stove in the rear
of the third floor. The building is very
carelessly constructed, the fire escape is
worthless, the rooms are outra geously
small, and it is nothing short of a crime
that such building should have been
used as a housing place for human
beings.
