BY WAY OF SUEz
Decision Reached Regarding Re,
turn Trip Of Battleships.
DETAILS NEARLY COMPLETE
One Point Not Yet Definitely Deter
mined Is Whether Entire Fleet or
Only Several Representative Ships
Will Visit japanese Waters.


Washington, March 9.-Now that it
has been practically determined by
the president that the hattleship fleet
shall return to the Atlantic by way of
Suez the near approach of the fleet to
its original destination-the California
cOast-has made it necessary for the
naval officials to arrange the details of
the itinerary for the homeward move
ments Already several conferences
have been held upon this subject be-
tween the president and Secretary
Metcalf, Admiral Pillsbury, chief Of
the navigation bureau, and Admiral
Cowles, chief of the equipment bu-
reau, the latter being specially charged
with the duty Of coaling the fleet.
The last conference was intended to
place Secretary Metcalf in possession
of full information as to what had
been accomplished by the bureau
chiefs in preparation for the return
cruise. He was perfectly satisfied
with the result. Admiral Cowles has
Dispatched Large Stores of Coal
to the Hawaiian islands and to Manila
and has further ascertained just how
much fuel he can obtain at Port Said
and the price he will have to pay for
1t. This is as far as he could go in
the absence of official orders to make
purchases. It is the business of Ad-
miral Pillsbury to prepare these or
ders and he has already, after con-
sultation with his assistants in the
navigation bureau, been able to frame
them and lay them before the presi-
dent. So it is expected that in few
days the formal orders will issue and
Immediately all of the plans that have
been so carefully worked out for the
fleets return movements will be put
into execution .-
The point of doubt is the disposition
to be made of the ships upon their
arrival in Asiatic waters, for while it
is reas onably certain that some of
them will be sent to Japan it is not
known whether the movement In that
direction will be general or limited to
about four representative ships

Camden, N. j., March "a pitched
battle between farmers and three rob-

The robbers first appeared at He'd

stole a team from a livery stable
They then went to the postoffice, blew
open the safe and stole $3.50 in money
and stamps. The force of the explo>
sion wrecked the building and the
place took fire. The robbers then fed
with the team.
In a few minutes nearly the entire
population Of Hedricktown was at the
postoffice fighting the fire and before
the flames were extinguished the
building was damaged to the extent of
about $4,000. While some of the peo-
pie were battling with the flames 9TH
ers organized posse to capture the
robbers. The men, however, made
good their escape and nothing further
was heard from them for two hours,
when they appeared at Bridgeport,
eight miles from Hedricktown, and at
tackled the postofice A family named
Brown occupied the upper portion of
the building. The robbers forced an
entrance and inserted a charge of
nitroglycerin in the safe, which al
most wrecked the building. William
Brown, the head of the family, rushed
down stairs with revolver When
he reached the postOffice he was con-
fronted by the three robbers, who
levelled their revolvers at him and
ordered him to retreat up stairs.
