YANKEE WARSHIPS
WAITBELLIGERENIS
Strong American Squadron to
Maintain Neutrality in Phil
ippine Waters.

Paris, Feb. 3.-An official dispatch
/ from Manila says that an American
squadron composed of fifteen warships
sailed today from the island of Luzon
for the southern waters Of the arehi-
pelago with the object Of maintaining
neutrality in American waters both as
to the Russian and Japanese fleets.
1t is the understanding here that the
movement of the American squadron is
precautionary step taken in connectio on
with the movements of the Russian Sec
ond Pacific squadron and of Japanese
warships. A recent dispatch said that
Japanese warships had been seen in
southern Philippine water, and it is
therefore expected that the precaution-
airy measures apply equally against the
Russians or Japanese. .. a..
The Dutch islands of Sumatra and
Java and the unexplored waters Of
southern Mindanao offer a possible rem
devious for belligerent warships. The
Dutch government has already sent two
warships to protect the neutrality Of
Dutch waters, and the movements of the
American warships assumes the same
character. 1t is not expected that Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky' squadron will
proceed to the far east until joined by
the division Of the squadron which left
JibutI today.

James B. Dill, the corporation law au-

cover the machine, and number of
bankers lawyers and railroad men who
daily visit him have been so impressed

with it, 800
The machine is an electrical contriv-
ance with two small cabinets, one in the
reception room and one on Mr.. Dill s
desk in his private office. The cabinet
in the. reception. room is fitted with a

wire. The paper runs over an electric
contrivance which transmits every
movement of the pencil to the cabinet in
Mr.. Dill g office. This latter cabinet is
also fitted with a roll Of paper and an
