The government yacht Maynower. with
President Roosevelt on board. Joined the
six battleships Of the North Atlantic
squadron shortly before o'clock this
morning. and preparations were at once
begun for the target practice. to witness
which the President made the trip from
Oyster Bay today.
The President had come $50 miles by
water to witness a six hours program ar
ranged to show him as fully as possible
the WORKING Of modern ships Of war
under fighting conditions. The feet In
cluded six battleships Of the North At
lantic squadron. the flagship Maine and
the hrst-class battleships Missouri. iii.
nois, Alabama, Kearsarge and Iowa. The
cruiser Yankton also was attached to the
feet as a dispatch boat, and there were
half dozen torpedo boat destroyers.
The sky was cloudless and there was
sarcely breeze enough to cause a ripple on
the water.
Perfect conditions had attended the trip
Of the President from the start. The May
flower. moving at an average speed OF elev-
en- or twelve knots had met smooth seas
and light southerly winds.
Wireless Connection With Shore.
AS the Presidents yacht ran along the
coast she was constantly in communication
with the shore by means Of wireless teleg-
raphy. This made it possible for the Presi-
dent at sea to know this morning of the
exact situation in Cuba, and to commune
cate with the government representatives
at Havana, as II he were sitting in his Office
at the White House.
When the Mayfower turned into the bay
this morning, headed for the target
grounds, the men Of the feet had been
astir for hours. Thick clouds Of smoke in
dtcated activity in the fire rooms. The
ships had previously been clared for action
The warships lay stretched out In one long
ten-mile line. with the Missouri at the
eastern end. It was toward this latter ves-
sci that the Mayhower headed as soon as
she turned into the bay, for it had been ar
ranged that the President should see the
small-arm sub-caliber and other drills from
her decks during the day. as we'll as the
target practice by all the ships. The tar
gets were all In position. having been towed
out during the night.
Soon after the Mayaower had come to an
anchorage. the President went on board
the Missouri, his flag was run up at her
peak, and shortly after o'clock the big
battleship steamed out into the bay in the
direction Of the target grounds. Shortly
afterward the maneuvers were In full play.
The movements of the battleships and OF
the smaller craft were observed by large
number Of spectators on the shore, although
the practice Of the big vessels had become
familiar to the residents. Oh"

C. H. Dikeman, 7. E. Ogram George H.
Keppler, James N. Mitchell, w. F. Buck
ingham and G. Linke. today decided not to
hold George B. Richardson, colored boy,
for the killing Of Thomas Chinn The boy
was released from custody.
DR.. Glazebrook testified that the mans
death was primarily due to the injury to
the brain received last June, but that con-
gestion of the -iungs was the direct cause
Of death. The testimony brought out the
fact that while Richardson had thrown
bananas at Chinn, others in the car had
done so also. and that when Chinn came
into the car they placed the blame on Rich
ardson, and Chinn attacked him.

A Pure Invention.

1t was reported recently from Victoria,

Eastern World. had stated that portion
Of the funds sent to Japan for the relief
OF the famine stricken Of the northern part
Of that country had been embezzled. and
that three projects Of northern Japan were
In prison for the crime. 1t is said at the

quite unfounded and that no such news

about the middle Of next week.
May Land in Ten Days.
Various estimates are made as to how
long It will take to transport the first mill
tary expedition to Cuba. Oflcers of the
quartermaster's department assert that 1t
can be done in ten days. This assumes that
it will require about five days to concen-
trate all the troops at Newport News. ana
allows five days for the sea trip.
Pending the arrival Of the military the
upon by the President to uphold the pro-
visfonal government. There are about
5000. such men fully equipped and ready
for land service.
There il no question in the minds Of the
officials Of the Navy Department that the
bluejackets and marines. protected by the
big guns Of the feet, would be able to keep
at bay any force Of Cubans which might
endeavor to attack the city ana overthrow
the authority Of the United States.
Marines Soon to Leave.
The cruiser Prairie. loaded down with
marines, will sail from Boston early to-
morrow for Havana. and the battieship
Texas, also loaded with marines. will sail
from Norfolk some time next week Tor
the Same place. The Brooklyn, which IS
now at Philadelphia. cannot leave Tor
Havana before tomorrow. No additional
orders to vessels were issued today and It
is not the intention to send any additional
naval force to Cuban waters unless 1t De-
comes absolutely necessary.
