LIEUT. CHANOLER'S FLOTILLA
LEAVES ON 1900 MILE TRIP

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 12.-Convoyed by
the cruiser Baltimore and carrying
the whole board of inspection and
survey of the navy in order that the
of the speedy black de-
stroyers may be officially attested, the
first torpedo boat fiotilla left Hamp-
ton Roads this morning for the Phil
ippines under command of Lieut..
Lloyd II. Chandler.
Few cruises in the history of the
navy have excited the public and pro-
fessiOnal interest occasioned by this
voyage of the Decatur. Barry, Chaun-
cey. Dale and Bainbridge, which, when
added to the Asiatic battleship fleet,
will greatly enhance its fighting value.
Each of these destroyers is 245 feet
long. 535 tons full load displacement,
and SOO-horse power. From % to %
knots is the maximum speed per hour.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-12-12

For rapid eyOIutions they surpass any
craft ever put into commission in the
United States, their most notable
work being the flying wedge, in which
at full speed they come together in
the form of W their sides almost
touching, and discharge torpedoes
simultaneously at a given target.
Although many ships of the Ameri-
can navy smaller than these boats
have crossed the Atlantic, it has been
questioned whether the destrOyers
could successfully withstand the
heavy seas at this season of the year
in the Atlantic and Indian oceans.
The trip, which will be $4,000 miles
long, is expected to demonstrate it,.
Lieut.. Chandler, when questioned by
the navy department, declared the de-
stroyers could make the trip safely
and speedily without any convoy
whatever.

Hit Says She Was Trying to Hold Us Up
for Revenue Only.
After reviewing the history of the
act of congress and the negotiations
with Colombia and the sending of a
treaty to Bogota Hit said the people
of Colombia thought the United States
We're so bent on having a canal on the

had $10,O0O,00O. but $20,0OO,OOO would
be better, and Colombian papers had
urged those charged with power to
hold out for great sums of Yankee
money. The people of Panama had
organized a government which had
the cordial support of every one who
lived there. That. Hit said. is proven
by the fact that a man would have
been an unnatural being if he had not
wished to separate himself from such
cumbrOus government as had
weighed upon them so hard.
Referring in this connection to the
government at BogOta he said that
distant center, cOidly plotting to get
hold of the great spoil they hoped to
get from the United States, deliber-
ately threw away the treaty and S10,-
100000 in the hope of getting still
more, utterly regardless of the great
peril to which they put the people of
the province Panama. The

CATION of the murder Meantime the

COTTON SPINNING

New York. Dec. 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Developments are not encouraging as
to cotton spinning, but there is evi-
dence of better conditions in the iron

feels the usual impetus as the hOli-
days approach. Idleness among New

creased activity in the south. Railway
