HAS LEFT TRINIDAD
ATLANTIC FLEET NOW ON ITS
WAY To RIO JANElRO.
Leaves Trinidad at Easy Pace Of Ten
Knots an Hour-covernor Of Trini-
dad Gave Many Functions In Honor
Of Admiral Evans and HE Officers
While There.

Port Of Spain, Trinidad, JAN i.
The American battleship feet
weighed anchor at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon and steamed for Rio Janeiro.
Accompanying the fleet were the sup
ply ships Culgoa and Glacier. Early IN
the morning the signal went up from
Rear Admiral Evans flagship, the Con-
necticut, to prepare for departure at
8 a. M, but owing to the delay in the
coaling of the battleship Maine from
the collier Fortuna, it was necessary
to change the time of sailing.
Long before the hour set q myriad
of small craft, chiefly launches and
steam yachts, moved up and down
along the lines of anchored warships,
the merry parties aboard shouting
farewell to the departing vessels.
Thousands of residents climbed the
surrounding hills to view the great
ships as they moved outward on their
journey Of $3.50 miles and more, while
boatloads of excursionists went to the
small islands in the gulf and others to
the floating dock to catch the last
glimpse of the ships that were so
royalty welcomed to this port almost a
week ago.
The fleet presented a magnificent
appearance as 1t steamed out in four
columns, with the supply ships trail
ing, a distance of 400 yards separating
one division from another. With the
Connecticut1n the lead, the battleships
headed for the Booas and steamed ma
jestically through the Grand Booa and
thence along the northern coast Of
Trinidad. An average of 10 to IL knots
an hour will carry the fleet to the end
Of the second lap of the $4,000 mile
journey in about IL days, and it was
announced by Admiral Evans before
his departure that he expects to reach
Rio Janeiro January TO-
During the week of their visit here
the American officers and men re-
ceived every courtesy at the hands OF
the residents. Sir Henry Moore Jack
son, the governor of Trinidad, Colonel
Swain and other high officials, gave
dinners and garden parties In honor
of the commander of the feet and his
officers, and there we're scores Of ex-
cursions and entertainments for the
men, all of whom enjoyed more than
the ordinary amount Of shore leave.
The newspapers here and the residents
are unsparing in their praise of the ex-
emplary behavior Of the men, and the
papers compliment Admiral Evans in
the warmest terms, expressing to him
and his men the best wishes Of the peo-
pie of Trinidad and the hope that they
will soon return.

Congressman Hobson will have the right to name the next cadet at the academy for the dis trict.
 At the War Department there Is no record of the town or county In which Cadet Prude resides. Of the eight yeung men who have gotten into this trouble. only one other Is from the South.

Pistol At Him.
 Meridian, Mss. July 24--(special.)- )-- While tho son, Louis Bstzbee. IT., pointed his pistol at D. E. odom. his father. Louis Betzbee. sr.. gave odom a sound thrashing with his fists.
 odom was knocked down by the first blow and then pummelad pretty se- verely but was not seriously injured The dificulty occurred aobut II o'clock today in a local furniture store where odom is employed. and created a great sensation.
 The Hetzbee's are market house stall keepers and all are well known. The trouble is thought to have been precip- itated by remarsk alleged to have been made about Mrs. Betzbee by Odom. This is inferred as during the affray, young Betzbee was heard to say; You can't make remarks about my mother"
 The Betzbees were arrested. the charges against the elder being as- sault and battery. The younger was charged with carrying a pistol and as- SC ut with intent to kill and murder.
 Telegraph Operator Zach Hunnicutk was killed by Train No. of the Ala bama Great Southern at Kewanee. Mss. at about 3 o'clock this morning. The train was in charge of Conductor
 
 It appears that the unfortunate man had come out of the office to get cool and sitting down on the platform evt- dently dropped or to sleep.
 The engineer made the usual signal calling for the board and failing to get same, commenced slowing down. but was too close to stop. The station is on a curve near there and the train is within a short distance of the signal before 1t Is seen. After the accident. the train was backed up and the body of the operator was found on the plat form about fifteen feet from where he had been sitting.
 His grandmother. with whom he boarded, stated that the weather was extremely hot on yesterday and that the unfortunate man was unable to sleep over two hours and that accounts for the fact that he may have been asleep. The remains were brought to Meridian and prepared for burial The interment will take place at Cuba. Ala, tomorrow.
