ent a host of creditors are swarming
about the hotel slapping attachments
on it right and left in attempts to get
their cash. .

The first attachment was placed
there Wednesday night by Deputy
Sheriff John W. Sculley in a suit
brought through Attorney William .F.

schiager to whom lioran owed a. cigar
bill of $30.50. Moehrlng. the cigar

M”...-

A stubborn little fire did damage
amounting to about $250 at the home
of Charles Stolnwnld, in South Main
street, yesterday afternoon.

The, fire which apparently (alright
from n defective chimney. was discov.
cred by members of the family who
sent in a still alarm to Old Well Hook
and ladder Company and a line of
hose was laid as soon as it was seen
that chemicals would be useless. An
alarm was rung from Box a and Pub-
nam Hose Company responded. it
was necessary to throw considerable
water before the fire was at last
quenched and a good shore of the dam-
age was due to water. 'The damage
to the building will be about 8200 and
the datnuge to personal property about
50.

Chief Fmgineor A. in Winchester.

who was attending the matinee ni
Hoyt's Theatre. was not notified of
the fire. and did not know of it until
the performance was over. Find An-
sistant. George W. Bogardus was In
charge of the firemen. Chief Winches.
tor. however. was «ispeclaily gratified
at the tnisolicitated praise of a Stam-
ford mun, who informed Manager l. M.
lioyt. at. the theatre, that he had never
seen a fire better handled or more
quickly extinguished.
The wise policy of having several
lengths of hose placed on the Old Well
Hook and Ladder truck was demon-
strated, when a line of hole was laid
by Driver William McPherson and his
assistants. and waterpiaced on the
fire before the alarm was turned in.
The bone. which was first placed on
the truck as an experiment. will now
become a permanent thing. as the
truck frequently reaches fires mat of
the railroad track before the other up-
paratus of the dopartinunt, owing to
the greater distance.

Two Fieeteior Service on At-
lentio and Pacific Coast in
Such Manner Thain They Can
be Easily Mohiiized in Case
of Emergency

 

 

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—-The com-
pleted plans for the organization of the
fighting vessels of the navy in two
fleets for service on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts of the United States in

such manner that the whole force may
be readily mobilized in cases of emer-
gency. is announced by Rear Admiral
Converse. chief of the Bureau of Navi-
gation of the Navy Department, in his
annual report made public today: The
cnnccntratsiou of the battle fleet in
American waters and the assignment
of all vessels therein to the command
of one flag officer, will be completed
about January 1 next. Rear Admiral
Converse said that owing to our res-
ponsibilities in the Philippines and the
Far East generally. an adequate naval
force is needed in the Pacific Ocean.
The assignment of the ships of the
battle line to Atlantic waters and of
cruisers and gunboata to Pacific wat-
ers is in accordance with present stra-
tegic requirements.

The tentative assignment of vessels
is as follows:

Atlantic Fleet.

First squadron. first division: Con-
necticut_ Louisiana, Maine. Missouri.

Second division: Georgia, New
Jersey. Rhode Island, Virginia.

Second squadron, third division:

Alabama. illinois. Keersarge, Ken-
tacky.
Fourth division: Ohio. lndlana.
lows.

Third squadron, fifth division: Ten-
nessee. Washington, St~ Louis.

Sixth division: Columbia,
Moincs. Cleveland, Tacoma,

Fourth squadron. seventh division:
Dixie. Marietta. Newport. Don Juan dc
Austria. -

Eighth division: Prairie. Dubuque.
Patincah, Scorpion.

The seventh and eighth divisions
will be held in reserve when their ser-
vlccs are no longer required for po
lice and patrol duty.

D?“

in reserve: Texas. Brooklyn.

Second torpedo flotilla: Hopkins.
Lawrcncc. MacDonough. Whipple,
Truxton. Worden.

Third torpedo flotilla: Wilkes.

Blakely. Dc bong. Rodgers. Stockton.
Asiatic Fleet.

First. squadron. first division: West
Virginia. Maryland, Pennsylvania, Col
orndo.

Second division: Baltimore Chat-
tAnooga, Galveston. Cincinnati.

Second squadron. third division: Rae
lelgh. Concord. Helena, Wilmington.

Fourth division: Calico. El Cuno.
Quiros, Villaiohos.

Coast defence:
nick.

First torpedo flotilla: Ilainbridgc,
Barry, Dale. Chauncey, Decatur.

Pacific Squadron.

First squadron. first division:
Charleston. Milwaukee, Albany. New
Orleans.

Second division: Chicago. Yorktown.
Boston. Princeton.

Fourth torpedo flotilla: Preblc.
Paul Jones, Perry. Farragut, Golds-
borough_ Rowan.

At an early date it is expected that
the Asiatic float and the Pacific squad-
ron will be merged into one Pacific
fleet under the supreme command of a
flag officer of the highest rank in the
same manner as the Atlantic fleet is
now organized. The Bureau of Navi-
gation is making every endeavor to
secure a battleship strength of sixteen
in the Atlantic fioot, divided into two
squadrons which will furnishevory op‘
portunity for the practice of battle tac-
tics, and will enable the higher owners
to acquire facility in the exercise of a
large fleet. and inmauoeuvoring one

homeogeneous squadron against anoth-
er.

marines wer» withdrawn from all but-
tleships. he idea of the bureau is
that the blueinckcts are drawn from
the same class as the marines and are
able efficiently to perform the services
now assigned to marines. it is said
that the presence of marines suggests
to the enlisted men of the navy that
the former are there for police duty
and their presence frequently is resent-
ed. Admlrnl‘ Converse says:

“Tho bureau believes that the with.
drnwal of marines from ships and the
addition of a similar number of blue-

ofiiciency of a ship‘s crew by the in-
creased number of the blueiackets
available for general duties. An in-
creased community of interests would
result. and the removal of discrimina-
lions caused by differences of pay and
uniform and inequalities in duties and
privileges would also do any with an
element tending to dissatisfaction.

"The recognized value of marinas for
manning the naval buses in our insular
possessions and for service as expedi-
tionary forces In einergomies needing
a prompt. response will perhaps add
weight. to the bureau's statement of
amount conditions."
