pictures. Heretofore the middies have
not been allowed to have any pictures
whatever on the walls of their rooms,
and If they desired to gaze upon the
likeness of their best girl,-or sweetheart.
as the case may be, it was only through
having it locked In their clothes locker,
or nailed to the inside Of their cupboard.
But in its recommendations for the bet
terment of lighting facilities. the board
declares that pictures ought to be allowed
in the rooms. The board says that the
hanging of suitable pictures to relieve
the barrenness Of the rooms merits seri-
Gus consideration, and is, In its opinion,
desirable. The board was composed OF

WARSH|P FOR ESTRADA
FORMER GUNBOAT HORNET OFF
TO NEW ORLEANS.
Purchasers From United States Said
to Have Sold Her to Nicaraguan
Revolutionists.

NORFOLK, Va, July 2S.-The auxil-
larry gunboat Hornet, purchased by the
United States government during the
Spanish-American war and recently sold
to Isador Stern and Thomas S. Roberts
of New Orleans, sailed today for that
place.
1t is declared the Hornet when she
reaches New Orleans will change hands
and proceed for Nicaragua to enter the
service Of the insurgents under Gen. Es-
trada.
The Norfolk customs authorities said
today they had no reason to detain the
Hornet; that she was simply leaving for
New Orleans and that if the vessel was
to proceed to Nicaragua they knew moth
ing about 1t.
At the yards of Smith & Mccoy.
where the Hornet was fitted out, 1t was
said that she would obtain clearance pa
pers for Nicaragua as soon as she ar
rived In New Orleans.

appliances probably will be taken aboard

1t is an interesting coincidence that
the owners of the Hornet are said to have
sold the Venus to the MadriZ party.
In view of the official declaration of the
State Department that the departure of
the Venus from New Orleans to Nicara-
qua was a violation of the neutrality law
it is possible that the authorities may
take steps to prevent a similar violation
of the law in the case of the Estrada
gunboat Hornet. Although condemned
by the navy, 1t is declared that the
Hornet is more than a match for the
Venus.
