FOR PROJECTED PACIFIC CRUISE.
Hurry Work on Battleships All
Other Suspended.

Every effort is being made by the
Government to have the Atlantic bat
tleshfp fleet ready for its projected
cruise to the Pacific by the time fixed
for the start; that is, between Deem
Der / and 10. Feverish haste is be-
ing displayed, and il is apparent
that the work of preparation ) very
much behindhand or that President
Roosevelt has determined to get the
feet under way before December
An order issued by the Navy De-
partment yesterday to the command
ants of ell navy yards on the Allan
tic Coast lends additional Significance
TO the cruise OF the battleships- The
order directs that all other work be
suspended until the preparation of tina
ships composing the armOrclad divi-
sion has been completed.
What appears to be the last obstacle
to the employment Of foreign cOllieTs
in carrying coal for the battleship
feet was overcome Yesterday through
a legal opinion rendered by Attorney
General Bonaparte. Under Mr.. Bon
aparte's Interpretation of the laws for
tho protection Of American shipping,
foreign merchant vessels engaged in
the coastwise trade Of the United
states-that is, in carrying cargoes
from one American port 10 another
American port-are not subject TO ton
mage and light taxes if their cargOes
belong to the Federal Government.
Mr.. Bonaparte had previously held
that the law absolutely prohibiting
any foreign vessel from engaging in
the coastwise trade did no apply To

coal for the battIeship iIeet-

THE FALLEN LEAVES.
Written For the Evening Capital BY tn
West Annapolis Bard

Softly the dead leaves come fiuttering
down,
Golden aud crimson and russell and
brown,
Touched by the north wind whose
death dealing blast
Tells them their brief time Of greenness
is past.
Torn from their dwelling place on
bush and tree,
Scattered abroad over upland and lea.
Family they echo the rabbits soft
tread
As hc so furtively leaps from bis bed.
Heaped in the hollows by eddying
breeze,
wantonly waiting them wher'er il
please,
Make they a coyerIet 50 snug and
warm,
Keeping the trailing arDutus from
harm.
Gently they float on the breast Of the
stream
Flowing 50 softly through valleys Of
dream.
Bearing a message so sad and 50
dreaT,
Telling the tale Of the fast dying year.

more, Next Week.

Beginning with Monday evening the
latest success Of the -Sew York Casino
Theatre, :. Fascinating Flora under
the direction of Burnside 81 Comstocs,

and Gustaye Kerker, who composed
the music. The scenes are laid in
Paris, in Wall street, New York and
at Manhattan Beach aud give ample
opportunity for splendid scenic en-
yironment. The story has TO do with
one AIlegretti. the head Of a conser-
yatory of music in Paris, and his
wife, Flora, an American comic opera
prima donna.
Throughout the piece the story runs
consistently enough TO furnish PLENTY
of extremely lively and amusing sit
uations, which are well taken adyan-
tage of by the splendid company,
which is brought almost direct from
its very prosperous five months run
at the New York Casino. with Aiele
Richie in the title role and her sup
port including those scoring the chief
test successes of the metropolitan en-
gagement. Miss Richie, who is very
popular with Baltimore tbeatregoers,
has not been seen in that city since
her visit with "Glittering Gloria"
In her present character she Is said
to have scored a very substantial hit.
OF course her gowns are positively
the latest creations OF the dress
makers art, and it is unnecessary TO
state that they will i'm every way
maintain the Dresden China" prima
donna's right TO the title of the best
dressed American actress.

through the agency of Don Jaime Lupo,
you divided among them two bags of
goid' brought by you for them, and emp
tied in your presence l mean that, after
THIS distribution, the final arrangements
were made, and the day was almost fixed
ior the pronunciamento. Am l deceived,
general, or do you now see that ! am
Wen informed, and that my spies are
quite equal to yours, who were not even
aole to inform you of my arrival at the
cludad, where l have been for more than
week and you have not known a word
about it?"
Will initiate your frankness, senior.
VI what use would it be to dissimulate
with an enemy so we'll informed"
Let US for the present" Valentine
went on, still calmly and coldly, leave
ehls conspiracy, to which we will revert
presently, and pass to more interesting
subject. l believe, Senior Don Sebastian,
you have ward of the name of Dona
Anita de Torres?"
The general started, but remained 81
lent.
Now" continued Valentine, Gin con-
sequence of a frightsul catastrophe, this
young lady became insane. But that
does not prevent you from insisting on
marrying her, in contempt of all law,
divine and human, for the simple reason
that she is enormously rich. 1t is true
that the young lady does not love you,
and never did love you; it is also true
that her father intended her for another,
and that other you insist on declaring to
be dead, although he is alive. Unfortu-
nately, one of my intimate friends, of
whom you probably never heard, Senior
Don Serapio de la Ronda, has heard this
affair alluded to. l will tell you conf
dentially that Don Serapio is greatly re-
spected, and has very considerable power.
Don Serapio, | know not why, takes an
interest in Dona Anita, and has made
up his mind, whether you like it or not, to
marry her to the man she loves"
1.-THE villain is dead" the general ex-
claimed furiously.
You know to the contrary" Senior
Valentine answered, "but to remove any
doubts you might still happen to have,
l will give you the proof. Don Martial"
he said aloud, "come in, pray, and tell
Gen. Guerrero yourself that you are not
dead"
Obi" the general muttered furiously,
this man is demon"
At this moment the door opened and
a new parsonage entered the room.
Ito be continued.)

MUST REDUCE SWOLLEN FORTUNES
Editors Urged by President to Fight for
National Inheritance Tax

NORFOLK, Va, June 10,-[S pe-
cial lin a speech to the National Edu-
cational association at the Jamestown
fair this afternoon President Roosevelt
told the newspaper men of the reforms
he hoped to bring about and for which he
needed their aid in molding public opin-
ion so as to accomplish the desired re-
suits. He urged the editors to assai
wrong but cautioned them to beware of
undertaking" Hysteria and eXagger-
alton are things to be avoided. He said
that conservation OF our natural resources
was one of the great problems of the day
while taxation was question of impor-
lance. He urged the editors to advocate
Inheritance and income taxes.
Swollen fortunes come in for a rap
when the President said that they must
be controlled and kept within proper
bounds by the national government. He
said the government had the right to tax
estates and he thought it should exercise
that power.
