FORT MONROE, Va June 13 1905
Rear Admiral Dickins has, according to
experts observing the exercises here made
seven tests of his program so far with
more or less success. By success is not
meant that he gained advantage over the
Notifications. but that he was able to get
definite information seven of the sub
heads In his program Again, this does not
mean that he Will not try to get answers
TO these same questions again; but the con-
ditions under which the two attacks of to-
day We're made gave him opportunity to
learn the possibility of running past the
forts, the effect of smoke during action
the use or non-use of ships searchlights in
the attack at night, the binding effect of
searchlghts on shore and the limits within
which navigation is safe in the glare of the
same, the modificat ton of methods of at
tack to meet conditions of darkness or
fog, the extreme distances at which vessels
can be discerned by searchlight and the
extreme distance at which vessels of the
different classes can be distinguished by
searchlight. To some of these questions
more nearly complete answers are desir-
able, and to some of them the answers al
ready obtained appear to be final.
This is a campaign of education for both
the army and the navy. Theory as to the
best means of attack and defense as de-
duced by years of study and experiment is
being assayed in the fiery crucible of prac-
tice. and the results are, therefore being
watched attentively. When the plans for
the joint exercises were prepared one of
the features that the officials in charge
could not regulate govern was the
weather. AS 1t happens. the weather has
been ideal for such work far. Accord
ing to the almanac, every night this week
should be moonlight But nature was kind
to the navy and put a thick veil of clouds
over the moon, occasionally sending down
shower or two to help matters along, max
ing the conditions ideal for the severe trials
to which both branches of the service of
defense are to be put. 1t is difficult to pick
up vessel with searchlight when the
weather is heavy and the surface of the
water covered with mist, and just how diff

DEGREE CONFERRED.
DR.. Marcus Benjamin Honored by

AT the commencement of the Western
University Of Pennsylvania in Pittsburg.
heId tuesday. DIR. Marcus Benjamin, ed
itor of the publications OF the United States
National Museum had conferred upon him
the degree of SGD. This degree. which IS
an honorary one. was conferred IN recogni-
ton of professional services.
During the ten years that DR.. Benjamin
has been in Washington he has contrib
uted largely to historical literat ure, chiefly,
however, by papers that pertain to the de-
Velopment of American science.
Subjects of LEGAL historical interest have
engaged his pen, as for instance his study
of the history of Braddock's Rock and the
volume entitled Washington During War
Times, which he compiled for the gather
ing OF the Grand Army of the Republic in
19G2 As chairman of the committee on
historic sites, both on street occasions and
Tor the last Inauguration. he gave much
time aud attention TO the preparation OF
the lists of places that were marked.

Ice, and those who are able to express
themselves are most enthusiastic as to the
beneficial results to be obtained from the
exercises.
Security and Information Systems.
So far the feature of the Joint exercises
which seems to have given the most salts
faction to the officers in charge of the forti-
fcations is the excellence of the system of
security and information. These terms are
given to department of the military sery-
ice which is of almost vital necessity 1t
has charge of the guarding of the forts from
attack by warning them of the approach of
the enemy, and it is also charged with the
important work of ascertaining the cbarac-
ter OF the ships that are approaching and
their distance from the shore, nearly as
possible, and this means within a hundred
yards or so of the actual location of the
enemy.
In actual war the lives of the men who
man the patrol or scout boats would not
be worth penny to reliable insurance
company. If the conditions that have ex-
listed here during the past three days were
the conditions of actual war 1t is likely
there would be very little left of the boats
that have been patrolling the bay for the
past three nights gathering all sorts of in
formation relative TO Admiral Diekns fleet.
To many of those viewing the operations of
the feet and forts from the comfortable
hotel verandas ii seems rather odd that Adj
miral Dickins has paid so little attention to
| the patrol boats. They have had promi-
nent part in the constructive" damage
done his feet. 1t Is believed. however, that
| when the patrol boats come under the guns
| of the ships the latter Go not want to fire
| on them or use their searchlights because
| that would reveal their position and there
| is no means of knowing on board the ships
| that the patrol boats have sighted them.
| This. it is believed, Is the reason the boats
have SO far been unmolested. According
! to the rules Of the war game the patrols
| can be put out of action with searchlights
| from therships, provision being made that
| any such vessel coming under the search
| light of ship for fifteen minutes at
| stretch such vessel shall be judged ruled
| out. So far none OF the ships have di-
| rected their searchlights toward the boats,
however, 1t being the general opinion that
| while such action would reveal the position
of the ships before the forts have been

TWO KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT

dispatch from Middletown, N Y, says:
An automobile occupied by Mr. and Mrs
richard S. Sayer of Englewood, N j., and
their two sons was struck by an Erie train
near Goshen yesterday. Mr. and Mrs
Sayer were Instantly killed and their sons
were hurled several feet, striking near the
tracks They are not expected to survive
their injuries. The chauffeur saved his life
by jumping before the train struck the au-
tomobile.
Mr. Sayer, who was president of the
Rider Engine Company. was accompanying
his family on a trip to their summer camp
at Warwarsing. which they expected to
reach today. Mr.. Sayer was sitting on the
front seat of the automobile alongside the
chauffeur as the crossing was reached
1t Is stated by witnesses of the tragedy
that several persons called to the party
not to attempt to cross the tracks ahead of
the train They declare that Mr.. Saver
however, ordered the chauffeur to proceed

Searchlight in Fog.
When Admiral Dickins' three ships put
in an appearance this morning he came be-
tween two heavy rain storms and found a
thick fog hanging over the Notifications
and the surrounding territory The search
lights from the shore penetrated this DOM.
but not with the great range they would
have on a clear dark night. This gave the
navy chance to try conclusions as to the
methods of attack in fog and darkness. the
distances at which vessels can be picked up
by searchlight and the possibility of dis
tinguishing the different classes of vessels.
The heaviness of the atmosphere also
made it possible to determine something as
to the effect of smoke during action. 1t
will hardly be considered to have been a
complete test of the last item. however, be-
cause the extreme conditions under which a
definite determination of the real efficiency
of smoke as a screen would be in clear
weather, where the ship commander would
not have such favorable atmospheric aids.
AS to the first question the answers would
be purely technical and capable of eXplana-
ton by naval expert only.
Admiral Dickins supplemented his expert
ence of night attack under this head with
information by driving into the range OF
the Notifications in a heavy rain storm this
afternoon. AS to the distances at which
vessels can be picked up and distinguished
with regard to class by shore searchiiGhts
some very definite information would seem
to have been gained.
The correspondent of The Star happened
to be on watch for the ships last night and
was able to get first-hand knowledge as
to Just how far away the searchlights will
illumine a vessel. For two or three hours
just preceding the attack number of YES
sells passed in and out of the harbor. The
various searchlights. working together
picked up such vessels as were at hand and
followed them as far out as the Thimblt
