FRENCH MARVEL AT EFFICIENCY
OF AMERICAS BIG FLEET
BY Associated Press.

ny -ASSocidleA iCSS
PARIS, March 14-News of the de-
cision to send the American battleship
fleet back to the Atlantic coast by way
of Australia and the Suez canal is
received here as a crowning revelation
of the efficiency of the American navy.
The statement that the cruise is to be
extended in this manner has opened the
eyes of the French public, which had
been led to believe that the American
navy was a good deal of a 'bluff'; that
the cruise around South America would
demonstrate the incapacity of the ves-
sells, and that if 1t We're accomplished
the ships would be ready for the scrap
heap.
Even in French naval circles the be-
lief was that the long voyage would
develop structural weakness in the yes
sells themselves or at least serious
breakdowns in the engine rooms. In
view of these opinions, the announce
ment that the feet arrived at Magda-
lena bay ahead of the schedule, ready
for target practice and in better condi-
tion than when it sailed from Hampton
Roads in December, has created all the
more astonishment.
Many French officers now frankly
say the impressive demonstration given
by the American fleet of ability to
keep at sea" raises the American navy
to an equality with that of Great Brit
ain, and that the return journey is
as successful as trip around South
America has been, the American navy
will have demonstrated that she has no
superior in the world.
The French minister of marine, M
Thomson. is so impressed with the re-
suit of this cruise that he is instructing
Lieutenant Commander De BIanpre,
the French naval attache at Washing
ton, to proceed to San Francisco and
send in a full report of the condition
of the ships and the lessons of the
cruise. The lack of boiler accidents
during the voyage already has called
out criticism of the contrast furnished
by the French navy, where trouble in
the engine rooms is constant, and Nj.
Thomson has been interpellated as to
why the government does not use the
American type OF boiler, which is now
being manufactured in France.
A salient feature of the cruise which
is attracting attention here is the sue
cess obtained from the system OF en-
ploying line officers in the engine
rooms This procedure up to present
time has been regarded with much
skepticism in French naval circles.

tain Charles Pond. and it was UNDER
stood that she would remain at Mag
dalena bay for the purpose of handling
targets for the fleet practice This work
Will have to be done by the navy tug
Fortuna. The reason for the trip of
the Buffalo is not made apparent by
the dispatch.
The wireless station here was busv
all last night with official and fleet
messages. all of the former being in
cipher and very little of the latter
containing news other than that which
has already been made public.
The South Dakota is to leave here
within few days for Santa Barbara
for visit. She will return to San
Diego. and Captain Fox states that he
intends to bring her inside for q ten
day stay. She win be the largest war
vessel that ever came over the bar.
She is 1000 tons larger than the Charles
ton. The California, which arrived last
evening, will sail north with the Ten
nessee and Washington early in the
week, and Will stop first at San Pedro.
The coming of the Culgoa has started
to furnish supplies. and though they
are not bound to deliver until the 18th.
| they will rush their stuff aboard as
rapidly as possible. Nearly 200 tons of
fresh meat will be taken, including two
carloads of sausage now on the way
from the east.

ITALIAN SHOT DEAD
IN FIGHT ON STREET
Supposed Member of Black Hand So
ciety in New York Attacks
Two Men and Is
Slain
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK March IA well
dressed, prosperous looking Italian was
shot to death in a street battle with
two men at One Hundred and Four
teenth street and First avenue today.
The two men made their escape and
have not been captured.
From stories told by several persons
who witnessed the affray it is believed
the dead man was a member of the
Black Hand and that his death was a
result of an attempt to collect tribute
from the men who afterward killed
him or that he sought revenge upon one
of the men he attacked. The well
dressed man, who was a stranger in
the neighborhood, which is in the Har-
lem italian district, had been seen there
for several hours. The stranger sta
toned himself at the street corner.
When two men wheeling carts filed
with bananas came along he started
toward them. The men stopped and
the stranger was heard to say:
did you receive that message?'
Both men with the carts made an an
swer. Then the stranger drew a re-
yolver The two men were equally as
quick. The weapons were leveled at
the same time. The stranger fired, and
1t is believed his shot struck one of his
adversaries in the hand. With the echo
