SHIPS GOING SOUTH.
War Vessels Getting Ready at the
Portsmouth Yard.

special DlSpatcn To Inc star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, September 14.-The
utmost reticence is observed at the navy
yard here regarding the movements Of the
vessels that are now at this station among
officers and men generally There Is strong
impression that the government Is rapid
ly preparing to send powerful naval force
to Cuban waters and they are in hourly an
ticipation Of orders carrying them south.
The cruiser Tacoma. which came here for
extensive repairs after her summer cruising
with the feet, Is fitting out for sea. Her
coal bunkers are being filled and ammuni-
ton Is being placed aboard in large guam
titles. The Cleveland and the Newark will
also sail for the south in a few days. Other
vessels now on the station are being made
ready for sea. 1t is said at the
yard that the ships are being got
ten away from the yard to make
room for the two or three big first
class battleships that are expected to COM
plete their repairs, but the general belief Is
that they are being sent where they will
be able to do the most good in the event Of
active participation by the United States in
the work OF restoring tranquility in Cuba.
The vessels being fitted out are all of the
cruiser type that would prove most serv-
iceable in the narrow channels and shall
low harbors Of most Of the Cuban ports
their guns are Of sufficient range to cover
shore by an American force to make
respectable showing on shore. There is q
plentiful supply of ammunition at the mag
azine at st. Julian creek and the ships now
at the station are securing full supply of
powder, projectiles and explosives.

LIQUOR Tax in Louisiana.
Portland Oregonian,

From the Portland Oregonian.
New plans Of dealing with the sale of
liquors appear in various parts Of the
country, ever and anon. The legislature of
Louisiana is now dealing with one-at least
we take 1t to be a new ono, since we re-
member not to have seen 1t heretofore.
The plan briefly. Is this: Adopt a per
cent schedule on the gross receipts on
which to fix all liquor licenses. Fix the
minimum gross receipts on which a license
can be obtained high enough to hold down
the number Of places at which liquors can
be sold. This would first be guessed at.
but after a while experience would con-
troll 1t. Strict record of the amount of
sales would be kept, under heavy penalties,
and focal option would decide in what
places liquors might be sold. or sale re-
fused, on this basis. The law, thus, would
have prohibitive feature also.
It may not be adopted. for members OF
the legislature of Louisiana insist that the
law would be too restrictive for their state,
where hitherto there has been little limita-
ton of the liquor trade-an annual tax or
fee of 800 only being the minimum license.
Yet in all probability some change. In the
direction of greater restriction. viii be
made at this time.

are very extended. A good slice Is taken
of of Westchester county at the north-the
whole of one end of Long Island at the
east, while Staten Island entire Is included
at the south. There are wooded districts
within these boundaries-brushy hills and
swampy thickets-some Of them well nigh
inaccessible. There are fresh-water streams
and lakes; also, there are wfde-set meadows
or marsh lands where the waters of ocean
and bay and sound swept long ago, and
where salt creeks and inlets still make and
ebb with the tide. Such haunts as these
are ideal, and the creatures that have
held them against three centuries of civili-
.zation are not to be easily driven away
