REMARKABLE ACCURACY SHOWN IN RE-
CENT MANGUvREs
Washington. Aug. 2S.-The Navy Department
to-day made public an extract from the report
OF Lieutenant Chandler. L s. n. commanding
the torpedo fotla OF the firing of his vessels In
the time they inspected by the Secretary of
the Navy, The report is made 10 the Secretary
Of the Navy and is dated August Is. 1t is as
follows:
Forming in exact column. the Hotilla steamed
north until abreast OF the firing ground in Cod
dington Cove. when the Decatur turned and
headed for the target in the cove. This target
consists Of three platforms supported on casks
about seventy-fve feet long in all, outside OF
which, one at each end, two yellow fass
representing the two turrets Of the 5oo-foot bat
tleships- Outside Of these again are two red
flags representing the ends OF the same ships
Steamng bows on for the float, when one
thousand yards away, the Secretary pressed the
firing key the bridge. and simultaneously
discharged the two torpedoes, one on each side
They curved set, and one went Immediately
under the centre of the float, while the other
passed inside the right hand yellow flag.
While the Decatur was firing the rest OF the
fotilla continued to the northward. counter
marched and returned close to the Decatur,
about five hundred yards from the target. The
boats passed the target at from seventeen TO
twenty knots and each fired two torpedoes
simultaneously from her port broadside, as her
tubes bore. firing while close to the Decatur.
OF the twelve torpedoes fired by them. one from
with the head in the water. and finally wrenched
the tail off, but not before it had peen secured
OF the other eleven all but one passed inside
the yellow flags. and that one passed Just out
side Of the yellow flag
All these torpedoes and horoscopes were In
operation. except one of the pair from the Bid
dle-and that one hit the target also-and one
of the casks composing 1t having to he cut open
to get the torpedo out. 1t having preached Just
as 1t arrived under the floats
/ believe that the results reported above have
never been exceeded before and know OF no
record equal TO them. 1t is seen that out or
fourteen torpedoes prepared but one failed 10
run Out of the thirteen that did run Twelve
hit between the turrets of the batteship tar
get, and the other under one of the tur-
rets. Fully three-quarters of the shot would
have struck directly under the engine rooms
All boats except the Decatur were at high
speed when they fired, and she was only slowed
so as not to overrun the target speed Would
have made no difference in her shots, owing 10
the presence of the cap mark tube gyroscope
In considering the results the haste with
which we got ready for the performance should
not be overlooked.
After the practice, and leaving boats behind
to pick up the torpedOes. all of which were
reported uninjured the fiotilia formed column
at full speed 1t had been my intention To pro-
ceed to sea for tactical work. but found that
the visitors seemed inclined to prefer spin in
the bay which accordingly taken in col
umn. at full speed.

DEMAND P4Ln4,s IuPEACHMENT
CUBAN PRESIDENT WITHOUT SUPPORT OF
THE CUBAN PRESS

Havana, Aug. 2S.-President Palma finds him
self to-day without the support of a single
newspaper controlled by Cubans The edito-
rals published in the Cuban press are, consid-
cred collectively, remarkable for their bitter
ness and outspoken opposition of the Chief Ex-
ecutive. The only paper which supports the
President is the 'Diario de la Marina" formerly
the organ OF the Spanish government, and at
present representing the Spanish colony in
Cuba.
One of the principal causes Of the opposition
to President Palma to arise from the
fact that he granted the Castaneda concession
for the establishment of an electric light plant
OF bitter discussion in the House of Representa-
tlves and some members of the House de-
manding Senior Palma s Impeachment unless the
concession is rescinded. The impeachment mat
ter has been upon the table for the last week
Both houses of Congress have become badly dis
organized this question, and the result
has been a strong anti Palma feeling.
The press criticises President Palma for In
terfering in such a trifng matter. and espe-
1t says that. although the President was elected
independent ticket, and received the In
dorsements OF the Republican and Nationalist
parties. he has carried his independence too far

Nntnre,n Wonders

The common flea leaps 200 times its
own length. To show like agility a
man six feet tall would have to leap a
distance Of 1900 feet. The cheese
mite is about one-quarter Of an inch
IN length, yet it has been seen to take
the tip Of it's tail In It's mouth and
then. letting 90 with jerk, to leap out
Of n vessel six inches in depth. To
eoual this a man would have to jump
ont of we'll from a depth of IA feet.
And equally strange things are found
among the plants and vegetables. A
well known student Of nature once
tried the growing force Of a squash.
When It was eighteen days old and
measured twenty-seyen inches In cir
conference, he fixed sort Of harness
around It, with long lever attached.
The power of the squash was measur-
ed by the weight 1t lifted the weight
being fixed to the lever. When 1t was
twenty days old, two days after the
harness was fixed on 1t, it lifted sixty
pounds. On the nineteenth day 1t lift
ed 5000 pounds.
