be continued to Fort Monroe and probably
to Yorktown. The reserves Will spend the
majority of the next two weeks aboard the
boats, putting everything in readiness for

The Oneida is now at the navy yard un-
dergoing extensive improvements for the
trip. The Fern has been overhauled and
new. The hammocks and all equipments
have been thoroughly cleaned up and some
changes made In it's hold. The launches
used by the Fern have also been repaired
and everything Is in splendid order.
Within the next two weeks the magazines
of both boats will be loaded with ammuni-
ton. and when the boats start on the trip
there will be fear to lack of material
with which to work. Lieut.. Demp an
nounced last night that the men will all be
ordered aboard their boats Saturday night
August 10 Those who fail to report will
be arrested by the police and kept In con-
finement until the cruise is completed.
The start will be made down the river
about 5 o'clock Sunday morning and the

vers. Among the officers present at the con-
ference We're Lieut. Demp. executive officer
