 Admiral Thomas in speaking of the cruise to the Associated Press said: T think I voice the opinion of the

The ships are in better condition than when we left Hampton Roads. and We were ready for battle the minute we reached Magdalena Bay. It was q most magnificent performance.

 In this connection Thomas today au- thorized the following statement to be made in his behalf:
 There is absolutely no truth in the story that Evans transferred the com mand to me. Never has it even been contemplated. There has not been a day that Evans has not had a full grasp of the duties of his supreme command. It has been my great pleas ure to represent him socially from time to time, but it is unjust to him and to me to print that he transferred his command me. Please deny it absolutely
 Speaking of his illness. Admiral Evans said: 'I was sorry not to be able to go ashore at the South Amer ican ports and enjoy the hospitalities of those countries. l was anxious to do it. but my unfortunate illness pre- vented.

 Scarcely had the fleet come to an chor when little steam launches, or running boats, dropped into the water from giant cranes were rushing about their shrill whistles were screaming carrying messages and reports from the flagship. Half an hour later all the busy little craft were gathered about the gangways and side ladders of the Buffalo asking for mail from home.

Magdalena was sighted. There was no: the suggestion of a hitch any where. The space occupied by the great fleet, though comparatively large. is but a small section of tn, great bay. Altogether there is ten by twelve miles Of anchorage room in this wonderful natural harbor where dredging is unknown. The bay itseli is vastly larger than that. Officers who viewed it for the first time today declared it to be the greatest of naval bases and expressed a wish that it be- longed to the United States instead of being merely under a short term lease from Mexico.
 It developed upon Rear Admiral Thomas. commanding the second squadron of the fleet to come ashore to pay his respects to the commander in-chief of Mexican authorities and this he did the first hour after an Choring.
 Gen. Sanginez received the Ameri- cans most graciously. Admiral Thom- as thanked his excellency cordially. and told him how much the American people appreciated the courtesy of the Mexican government for allowing the navy Of the United States one of the most magnificent haTbors. The con versation was carried on through an interpreter. During the afternoon. Sanginez returned Thomas call and was entertained on board the Minne- sOta. TOasts were drunk 10 Roosevelt and DiaZ.

As he went over the side on his return to the shore the saluting cannon of the Minnesota fired seventeen shots in his honor The per sOnnel of the fleet, according to reports Of officers. is in the highest state of efficiency. Thirteen thousand miles of steaming. and three months of contin- uous work has brought the fleet to point Of efficiency which it's arrival here fully two days ahead of the scheduled time only partly illustrates.
 T don't care to express my person. al opinion of the progress of the fleet" said Admiral Evans today. in an inter view with the Associated Press; you may say anything you want to. but I have no opinion about the cruise. it is unnecessary; the facts speak for them selves. I was ordered to bring the At lantic fleet to Magdalena Bay for tar Ec; practice. We are here. If any body doubts it. let him come and see"

Evans agreed. The admiral says he will be disappointed if the target prac- tice is not finished by the fifth of next month in which event he will come north, arriving here the Sth. The fleet will approach Coronado Beach in col umn formation and anchor in squad ron formation. On the first night the vessels will be illuminated and the shore will also be lighted with red fire.

When the late Lord Penzance was
plain Mr.. Wilde, he once took an early
morning stroll round Covent Garden
market. There he entered into CONVEX
sation with an old man Of genial
aspect who had just made q purchase
Of geranium. Mr.. Wilde soon found
that the stranger was an enthusiastic
amateur gardener, and the pair had an
interesting chat on horticultural topics
as they walked toward Oxford street.
Suddenly the fare in a passing hanson
cab signaled to the driver to pull up,
and within the vehicle Wilde saw his
friend, Sergeant Ballantine. Bidding
the old man adieu, Wilde entered the

Trivial Cause OF a Bloody War.

I In the year 1854 Polish nobleman
became obnoxious to the laws Of his
country by reason of his having COM
mitted crime. He fed to Sweden.
whereupon John Casimir, king Of Po-
land. wrote to Charles Gustavus, king
of Sweden, demanding the surrender OF
the criminal. The king Of Sweden on
reading the dispatch noticed that his
own name and titles were followed by
two set ceteras," while the name Of
the king of Poland was followed by
three. The missing set cetera" SO en-
ragged the king Of Sweden that he at
once declared war against Poland.
The war was carried on with great bit
terness until 1860, when peace was
signed at Olivia, near Danzig. A con-
temporary writer (Kochowsky} poured
out his lamentations on the war in
these terms: "How dear has this set
cetera' been to us! With how many
lives have these two potentates paid
for these missing eight letters! With
what streams of blood has the failure
of few drops of ink been avenged"

John Augustus O'Shea used to be in
considerable request as lecturer on
his military experiences. Once, at
Dumfries, he came upon the platform
wearing in his buttonhole daisy,
which he quietly removed and held up.

dience was interested and became in
thralled as the lecturer went on to
speak of the national poet. Then,
suddenly recollecting that Burns had
nothing to do with his subject, he
stopped abruptly. "And now" said
Mr.. O'Shea, Il will proceed to relate
my experiences in the war; @
But by this time he had thoroughly
