picious had been sighted. The Boston viii re-
turn to port in the morning, and tomorrow she
and the Bennington viii sail for Magdalena Bay
for target practice The NewYork and the
Marblehead will remain here indefinitely, as the
Navy Department has been aroused to the neces-
sity of keeping vessels at this port. If the
Lena had arrived later no American Warship
would have been here. and there would have
been no way of enforcing the governments or
ders.
All ordinary couries.es have been exchanged
between the Lenas officers and those % IN

10 coming from her must report TO the Of
hcer the deck OF the torpedo boat destroyer
Paul Jones. Even the Lena's own launches are
not permitted TO pass without this Formally.

ping men are uneasy. They say that the mys-
terry Of the Lenas visit has moi been explained,
and they fear depredations by other Russian
vessels.
