.THIRD SHIP ON Tue OCEAN

The Vanada, the third steel steam
ship launched this year at the plant
of the Virginia Shipbuilding Corpo-
ration at Alexandria, is now upon
the deep blowing her way to New
York, where she will be loaded Tor
an austrian port.
Tic Vanada left this. port Satur-
day afternoon for trial trip. Dur
ING her shore run it was found that
everything worked salts. otorily, and
upor her return she was mace
ready for her virgin voyage, which
began yesterday afternoon.
A few weeks ago four completed
steamships were moored at the plant
of the Virginia Shipbuilding Corpo
ration. There is at present but one
the Chancock-which will soon
be ready for sea.
Sometime next month another ship
of Tie same pattern-the City OF
st. loseph-will be committed to her
element. This will be the fifth pre-
duct of the Alexandria yard.
The launching of the first ship,
tie Gunston Hall--zlast February
was the occasion Of a general utri'-
out cf Alexandrians. Thousands 0:
people from Washington, and tt.
surrounding country mingled wit
CIR uecrle on that occasion. Man
visitors also came from places IA
distant from the capital, and anon
the hundreds of automobiles strear
ers showed that some came froT
far-away states. While many pc?
sons gathered at first in the ya'
and at vantage points on adjoInin
hills on the occasion of the frs
launching, the frequency with whlc'
ships have recently left their crib
for the Potomac have made suc'
procedures common.

important part of the business pulse
of Alexandria. 1t is an animating

South America to Join the Atlantic
fleet in the blockade of the ports

OF the naval strategy board and
/ PRESIDENT Mckinley arose, and he
walked the floor with his arms be-
hind his back and that troubled look
upon his face, for the report had
spread that a superior Spanish feet
was lying off the coast of South
America to attack the Oregon and
either capture her or sink her or turn
her guns against her own flag, and
; the president turned to the secretary
OF the navy and he said, ''Mr Sec
reary. If the Spaniards attack the
Oregon. will Captain Clark surrend-
er or will he fight?"
He leaped to his feet and hitting
the table he said, "Mr. President. If
the Spaniards attacks the Oregon
Captain Clark will send that magpi-
ficent fighting machine to the bot
tom of the Atlantic with every man
on board before he will dip the Stars
