SmOkeIesS Fuel Will Enable

Secrecy.
THOUGHT TO BE INVENTED
Telephones Will Be Regarded as
Necessary Equipment for
All GarriSOnS.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 21.-Naval
officers are much interested in the
possibilities of results from the use
of d smokeless fuel. Importance at
taches to the use or such an article
on account of its contribution to the
secrecy Of naval operations by means
of invisibility. 1t has become an i'm
portant requirement that there shall
be as little attention as possible at
tracted to naval ships in operation in
time of war, and ii is for this reason
that the deadest kind of paint is used
on the hulls of vessels, ana thai
smokeless powder has been adopted
for the ammunition. With the dense
smoke which pours from some of the
tunnels it is easy enough to .Ocaee
ship under way; in addition to
which, smoke of this kind, when ships
are in feet formation, obscures signals
displayed and might lead to confusion
if net disaster. Naturally, under the
circumstances, any prospect of obtain
! ing fuel which does not emit smoke
will be of importance. The tests which
| have been conducted under the naval
/ bureau of equipment, have promised
| important results, but they have no,
gone far enough to lead to any final
conclusions.
Numerous attempts have been made
in the past to find some method of do
/ ing away with the smoke from the
| coal used in firing, but the various
flues and patent contriyances tried
proved ineffective in every single case

IMPORTATION OF
ORES IS LARGE
Over One Hundred thousand
Tens Of Many Kinds
Last Month.
MOST FROM CUBA'S MINES
But Scarcely Country on the Globe
Which Does Not Send
Some.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 21.--The de-
mand for raw material used in the
manufacture of steel is so great that
all records in imports of iron ore were
eclipsed last month, when nearly 106,-
600 tons arrived in New York and
other eastern ports.
While more than one-half VI the
January imports of ore came from
Cuban mines, controlled by the Penn
sylvania Steel company, the material
was largely imported on Pittsburg dis
trict account. The call for ore by
mills located in the interior is so
urgent that considerable imports are
being made from Persia, Spain and
Greece. The first cargo of iron ore
ever brought into the United States
from a Persian gulf port came from
Bussorah.
Manganese ore, Chrome ore, iron
pyrites, miscellaneous iron and steel
material and pig iron, as well as iron
ore, were imported last month, making
the total imports 140,623 tons. From
Cuba came G0,S40 tons of iron ore.
From Spain S3,306 tons of ore were
shipped. From Greece 14,750 tons
were imported. OF Manganese ore
10, 400 of the 1O,445 tons imported
come from Bombay, India. The
Chrome ore, 2,440 tons, came from
