So Rojestvensky was not guilty of cowardice
or treason in the Battle Of the Sea Of Japan.
Neither was Villeneuve thus guilty at Trafalgar,
nor Ney at Waterloo. If there appalling
difference between his achievements and theirs,
responsibility for it must be placed on other
shoulders than his. 1t would be sheer nonsense
and worse to deny great ability and courage to
the commander who safely and unhestatingly

a service are more or less neglected. Undoubt-
edy we are making some progress toward divorc-

the vicious tendencies which the long reign of
the graft and spoils ideas had implanted in the
police system But we are still a long way from
the goal of faithful. honest and satisfactory

The final stage Of the Dewey's voyage half
way around the world was completed with sur
prising celebrity. Olongapo, in the immediate
vicinity of Manila, was reached in barely more
than six months from the drydocks departure
from the Capes of Virginia. There were small
delays the way which had not been fully
foreseen. but the accidents to which these were
due were relatively triding. There has never
been any occasion for real anxiety regarding the
fate of the attempt to tow a drydOclz from
this country TO the Philippines. structure

the upper Chesapeake by sea around to New

EVADING CUSTOMS OFFICIALS

TCEW evidences of human ingenuity are more
r interesting than the devices invented almost
Il every day to battle the detective skill of
customs officials. The smuggler is nowhere
wide awake than in the United States, where he is
at least a match for his enemies, and there are few
days when he does not succeed in cheating the
Government out of few Thousand dollars
His chief object IS eVade the duty imposed on
imported diamonds and he has many WAYS of
doing this SUCCESSFULLY BY several ingenious
devices he can disguise the value of the diamonds
he imports, that stones which worth one
hundred a hundred and fifty dollars a carat
lose at least half their value and assessed for
duty at the lower rate. Thus, instead of poying
five thousand dollars duty parcel of diamonds
he escapes with payment of twenty-five hun
drci.
The smugglers principal device is to mount his
diamonds in rings and brooches; but before mount
ing them he gives each stone a thin coating the
back of brown yellow varnish, thus giving the
pureSt white stones yeOWiSh tinge and reducing
their value by fifty to seven y-tve per Another
successful plan IS to subject the stones heat
until the brilliant surface ClOuded and takes ON
dull, grayish appearance.
The valuable stones thus deprived of their lust err
are mixed with number of diamonds of the pureSt
quality, and the entire parcel is passed rubbish
at value of ten or fifteen thousand dollars less
than Their actual value. y little polishing soon
restores the burned stones to their original bril-
nance, with loss of weight which bears no pro-
portion to the amount of money saved in duty.
