Miss Josie O’Brieua young lady who difficult to realize that the commander lives on _Mott avenue, was yesterday of any of our fleets may necessarily be for days and weeks beyond the reach of instructions from Washington: 'When one cOnsiders the great value of con- certed action between the various squadrons, it is readily perceived what a. great practical obstacle this has been to the effective conduct of the war, and now there has been added, within a. few days, a. necessity of careful and exact cooperation between land and naval forces which emphasizes the import- ance of reliable means of communica- tion between the war department and the fleet. Communication on the ocean is one of the practical difficulties attaching to the sea as a scene of action which landsmen seldom appreciate. The elaborate system of signals, used in clear weather to convey" information from ship to ship, can be used only in a limited number of cases, and a. swift and sure despatch-boat service is as important to a modern commodore as it was to Nelson a hundred years ago. It is’ no wonder that the arrival of de- spatches for the admiral, as pictured in the illustration reproduced to day from Harper s Weekly, is an event of the greatest interest to the sailors of a fleet at sea. Instructions possibly for instant and deadly battle may be carried by the jaunty ensign, clamber-- ing up the side of the grim flag-ship, and the old tars keep their eyes open for the flutter of the well-known signals, meaning that the chance has come for that glorous fight and victory for which they are all looking. ————-———<e-e>—— Enlorce the Bell Law.

' Sergeant James F. Cullen, of Co. F, ~ has been excused from duty so far as active service in the war is concerned. In unison with other members of his company, the sergeant passed all re- quirements of the examining surgeon at Niantic. He was excused by reason of the fact that if he followed the co m- pany to the front it would be at a sacri- fice of a wife and four children to the cold charity of the world. Be it said of him, however, that he was ready and willing to fight for the stars and stripes. ’ ——————-———‘0.0>——-———— “Alice in Wonderland.” Probably one of the prettiest lawn fetes ever held in town was that at the home of Rev.

Dewey Protects a Spanish Capt-In. Port Townsend. Wash" June 30.—-Ac- cording to advices brought from Japan by the steamship Columbia, which has arrived .here, considerable indignation prevails among American sailors at Manila over the treatment of the cap- tain of the Spanish gunboat Gallao, which sailed into Manila. bay about a. week after the battle and was captured by Dewey’ a fleet. The Spaniards claim- ed he showed cowardice in not return- ing the fire of the Americans.
