AHEAD OF TIME
The Torpedo Boat FIotilIa Has Arrived al Msgdalena
 Bay.

Magdalena Bay, Mex, April S.. Via San Diego, Cal, April 1.-The tor pedo boat fiotilla of six destroyers commanded by Lieutenant Comman- der Hutch l. Cone, followed example of the battleship fleet and arrived at Magdalena bay from Acapulco one day ahead of schedule time. Ut re- quired three days to make the run from Acapulco at an average speed of 15 knots.
 Commander Cone went aboard the flagship Minnesota at once to make his report to Admiral Thomas. Admir- al Thomas greeted him in his cabin.
 Young man, why are you not in proper uniform?" was one of the first questions the admiral propounded as he surveye good naturedly the tall officer as the latter stood cap in hand. Cone was dressed in the service uni- form of a lieutenant.
 He had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander.
 hoNCh | htd o Shuu,C to put Olh the other stripes, admiral" he said in reply.
 'I congratulate you upon your promotion" concluded the admiral as he grasped the officers hand and shook it warmly.
 Commander Cone recounted some of the features of his voyage. Un- til arrival here the destroyers had had no glimpse of the battleships since shortly after leaving Punta Arenas when they separated near the southernmost point of South America, the destroyers taking the inner course through the narrow island channels, the battleships sweeping far out to sea. The trip of the six small craft through the Patagonian passages was filled with adventure. We steamed for days through the narrow channels a thousand miles long," said Con- mander Cone, 'the passages being barely wide enough to let us through. The watesr were cold from the jutting glaciers and filled with broken cakes of ice. The boats eoDh oh biIN iS' Wf hCCuCu lOI days from over the side.
 The precipitous cliffs of the snow covered mountains rose beside us to height of thousands of feet seem- ing sometimes to almost close over us. We threaded our way through these islands, the other destroyers following the lead of the Whipple as we came along in single column. We had as pilot a lieutenant com mander of the Chilean navy. He steered us through the narrow de- files and over perilous places with out the slightest mishap.
 We went ashore in various places and mingled with the natives. AL though the weather seemed cool to us, the costumes of the natives were scant enough. Sometimes they wore nothing at all. Now and then we had good hunting on shore where hundreds of wild ducks collected. We finally shot away all of our ammuni- tion, but until that happened we had all of the fresh meat we required. Not an untoward incident marred the long trip of the destroyer from Hampton Roads. Their supply of coal, however, was practically ex- hausted."
