will be at sea on Christmas, New
Years and Washington's birthday,
and special dinners for those occa-
sions have already been arranged, as
is shown, by the large number of
turkeys, plum buildings, pumpkin
pies, nuts, dried fruits and other deli
cacies named in the lists of foods re-
quired. The Navy Department real
ICES how long and, at times, how
monotonous the voyage is going to
be, and it was determined that so far
as the food was concerned the men
would not have any excuse to
grumble
The officers of the fleet must lay
in their own supply of provisions at
their own expense. They may choose
what they wish without reference
to the provisions which the Bureau
of Supplies and Accounts makes for
enlisted men. All of the food pro-
vided will be kept fresh by means of
cold storage. Water will be distilled
aboard ship. At the ports new sup
plies can be taken aboard, but the
orders of the Navy Department are
that the ships be provided without
reference to any stops they may make
The projected cruise has already
involved the purchase of nearly a
quarter of million tons of coal, and
the charter of fleet of GOLFERS
which is numerically greater than
the battle-ship fleet itself. The mil
lions of dollars which the coal and
the Golfers cost can only be approxi-
mated, but they are many.
The cruise itself bids fair to be
one of absorbing interest, not only
to this country and to the nations
which will follow it's movements as it
makes its way down the great dip
of sea hill which sweeps from the
Line to the Horn and up the lati-
tudes to the Line again, but it prom
ises to be eminently spectacular to
all of those whose fortunes will be
cast, with the Armada.

the greatest ever assembled by any
nation, will be under the command
of Rear-Admiral Evans. The incon-
the command of an officer with no
higher rank than that of Rear-Admi-
raj is recognized most everywhere,
except in Congress. The creation
of the rank of Vice-Admiral and the
bestowing of it upon Fighting
Bob would, of course, not increase
the competence of that distinguished
officer; but the rank would be more
fitting one for the commander-in-
chief of this mighty fleet.
Upon the junction of the fleets
in Magdalena Bay, the present pro-
gram contemplates a series of ex-
tensive maneuvres between the COM
bined forces, and target practice, in
Guiding the firing of the guns when
the ships are in a rough sea, and
record practice when they are in
smooth water. The vast armament
will be divided into two fleets, and
the fleets sub-divided into SQUAD
rons and divisions.
This story of the projected cruise
of the fleet may well leave it in
Magdalena Bay, for no prophet may
tell where it will go from there. Some
official utterances have laid its
course north to San Francisco; where
as some others, unofficial, have plot
ted it's track to the Philippines and
thence around the world via the Suez
Canal and home.

'Twould, perhaps, be worth ten
years of peaceful life, one glance at
that array as, under the eyes of the
President, it moves out from Hamp-
ton Roads-sixteen superb battle
ships, with their attendant cortege
of supply, hospital and repair ships.
The first stop will be at Trinidad,
where the fleet will renew its coal
supply from the fleet of GOLFERS
which will be awaiting it's arrival
there. Then it will proceed to Rio,
where another supply of coal will be
taken on board from another fleet of
waiting GOLFERS; and then begins the
long run to Punta Arenas-one of
the most dreary regions in the world,
the jumping-off place-sinister as the
Pit itself. Coaling again from col
liers, the fleet will resume it's way,
taking passage through the Strait of
Magellan. 1t is expected to arrive
at Callao, it's next stopping place, on
February IS, and at Magdalena Bay
on April g. Here it will effect a
junction with the vessels of the Pa
cific fleet. This is expected to COM
prise the six new and powerful ar
mored cruisers of the South Dakota
class; the Tennessee and Washington,
of later and even more powerful
type; the three big protected cruis-

famous old dog of Santiago; the bat
tle-ship Wisconsin, which is of the
Alabama class, and the new battle
