recruiting station on April II. 1915,
and is still serving with the expedi-
tionary force of marines landed in
Haiti for the protection OF Ameri-
can interests in that war-torn little

his performance i'm gunnery is con-
sidered by marine corps officials as
little short Of marvellous. and they eX-
pect him to break many marksman-

DISPOSITION OF WAR FLEET.
Plans Already Made for Use of War
ships at San Diego.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, March IA. =
Tentative plans for the disposition of
the vessels of the Pacific fleet in San
Diego harbor in event of trouble on
the west coast of Mexico have been
outlined by Admiral Cameron Ne R.
Winslow
According to his plans, the trans
port Buffalo and the armored cruiser
Maryland would be employed in trans
porting the Fourth regiment of mar
ines, now at the exposition here, and
field equipment. The protected eruis-
er Milwaukee would displace the sup
ply ship Iris and convoy the destroyers
Whipple. Perry, Stewart and Paul
Jones south.
The flagship San Diego, acting indie
pendently of the fleet, will steam south
at the first sign of trouble.
Vessels of the Pacific fleet now en-
gagged in patrol duty on the West coast
of Mexico and Central America are the
cruisers Chattanooga, Cleveland and
Denver. The Chattanooga is at Guaya-
mas, the Cleveland at Acapulco and the
Denver at Corinto, Nicaragua.
