TIA OF MISSOURI TO BE TOW
ED TO PENSACOLA,
Converted Yacht Huntress to b Sent
to St. Louis For the Benefit of tho
Organization Of That city-Liaht
Draft and Capable Of Being Taken
Up the Mississippi.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Because it
was demonstrated in the recent un.
pleasantness with Spain that those
sailors who hailed from the middle
west proved themselves of the finest
material of the navy, the government
is determined that the naval militia
of the western states shall have every
opportunity for practice aboard ship.
Already the militia of the Great Lakes
are well equipped with practice ves-
sells, but it is now proposed to extend
this policy to the Mississippi river.
Acting Secretary Newberry this
week ordered the naval tug Lebanon
to tow the converted yacht Huntress
now at League Island, Pa, to Pensa-
cola. There the Huntress will be
formally turned over to the naval
militia of Missouri, which will sail the
vessel to st. Louis, the headquarters of
the naval militia of that state. The
militia crew will have a little expe-
rience in sailing the salty seas, for it
will have to raverse the Gulf of Mex,
leo with its vessel on the way from
Pensacola to the mouth of the Missis,
sippi river.
This will be the first time that a war.
ship ever has been stationed perma.
nently so far up the Mississippi river.
The Huntress is especially well adapt
ed for river work, for although a cap
able craft Of eighty-seven tons dis
placement it draws only seven and one.
half feet of water. Reports received
at the navy department indicate the
growth Of an unprecedented interest
in naval affairs, and the presence of Il
war ship in the Mississippi river is
expected to increase the number of re-
cruits for the regular navy and to
strenthen the militia organizations.

and general good will marked the pre-

American republics to carry out the
suggestion of the United States and
Mexico for a permanent peace under
standing. After a session of several

until Monday next.
Five Governments. .
The governments represented we're

any hitch occurred was that relating
to the protocol to be signed.

sign the document without first SUBJ
hitting it t. their governments. One
of these said it was possible that this
might involve some trouble and per.
haps the changing of the protocol in
some important particulars. Some de-
lay therefore is expected to be caused
by reason of this fact. 1t is not doubt.

pact will be entered into.
