~Rep‘orts from Stations Received Daily.
'Washington, May 24.—After several
weeks of work along the entire stretch
of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, the
navy department has cempleted .thcv
most comprehensive and efficient sys-
tem. for observing the approach of a
hostile fleet that hasever‘been put inta
operation. A new burméu has been cre‘
ated'. for‘ this purpose, known as the
Coast Signal Service, in charge of Cap-
tain Bartlett, who attends to this as
well as the naval board of information
The system‘has’ the services of 2,300
men stretched along the coast from
Bar Harbor, Me., to Galveston, Tex
These are divided into thirty-four cen‘
tral stations about sixty to one hundred
miles apart. The stations are in turn
connected by telegraph with the coasl
signal office of the navy depfriment
and operators are on duty. night and
day keeping the navy department ix:
constant telegraphic touch with the en
tire stretch of Atlantic and Gull
coasts.
Secretary Long projected this plan a
month ago, and $76.0Q0 was set aside
to establish the points of observatior
along the coast. After selecting the 3‘
central points from Maine to Texas
rush orders Were given to build obser~
va-tion towers and tOWers 10;, the ob-
servers. The naval militia was draw:
to man the different observation towers
and five militiamen, with the rank 0:
naval quartermasters, are now on duty
at eachof these-stations. The tower:
are completed and also the small house:
for'their living purposes. There an
233 of these militiamen now in service.

wasrbrought into similar coroner-anon.
so that 1,060‘iite' savers are added in“
the observation force. The thirty-foul
central stations, with the *numerous
lighthouses and life saving stations
make a. complete chain of observation
points, all connected by telegraph oi
telephone with one another and witl
the navy department.
By arrangement with the telegrapl
companies the reports from these ob-
servers take precedence over thepri-
vatte telegraphic business, so that tha
navy department is enabled to get im~
mediate telegraphic notice of the ap«
proach of any hostile heel: or suspic-
ious ship.
Work Thoroughly Systematized.
The work of observation has been
thoroughly systematized. Watches are
kept in the towers throughout the day
and night. The life saving crews in
particular are assigned‘to night duty,
and they patrol the beach throughoul
the night, on the outlook for approach.
ing ships. All the central points and
the observers have been supplied with
telescopes and full appliances for ma.
rine observation. They are'also sup-
plied with Itorches, rockets and othei
paraphernalia for signaling.
The results already secured haw
shown the efficiency of the plans adop~
ted. Naval vessels paesmg along thl
coast are able Ito signal day or night
by torches and otherwise with the na-
val observers along the beaoh' and them
signals are immediately telegraphed t4
the naVy department here. Thus thc
naval vessels can be kept in constanv
communication with the department
without the necessity of coming intc
port.
With the system in its present per
fected condition the navy departmenz
feels assured that it knows exactly the
condition of affairs along the entire
stretch of Atlantic and Gulf coast
The system is simply a precautionary
one, as the department has had no rea-
son to believe that Spanish ships were
menacing points along the coast.
It is further believed that Spain is
endeavoring to transfer important in
terests in the Philippines in a way tc
bring foreign influences to bear for thl
purpose of restraining the operation:
or this government. Altogether thc
Philippines are now regarded as the ice:
'to the situation, their possession in
volving great interests and possibl:
most important events in the future.
It is said that there is not the lens
doubt or hesitation on the part of the
administration with respect to the pol
icy to be pursued and that pnssessim
is to be taken of the entire group of is

thousands of people from every part of-

the confidence the people feel. In
Norwalk it was tried and in Norwalk it
was proved; and the 25 per cent. in-
crease in the generalhealth of the city
is directly attributed, by those who
know, to the introduction and wide-"
spread use of California Catarrh Cure.
Its popularity is built upon such works
as this:

Catarrh Cure at Pla1sted’s drug store,

my headaches. have gone for good. I.
must say it is a wonderful medicine and
I am glad to recommend it.”

One morning a slave rushed into the
room where Marlon was spinning, and
in great excitement begged her to flee
to the swamp, for the troopers had al-
ready .set the barns on fire and shot
down some of the negroes. :-

Marion had her father and the chil—‘i
dren conveyed to a hiding place in the,
neighboring swamp, and directed the,
negro nurse to get the- baby, a ban
two years old, and join them, while,
she would get together a few needed,
articles. As soon as the red. coats of
the soldiers were observed approach-1
ing through the orchard, Marion slip-
ped out .of the rear door and sped.
away to her friends.
Upon joining the frightened group,
our little heroine discovered that the
nurse and baby had not been seen by,
anybody in the party. Without ut-
tering a word she darted back along
the intricate path that led through the,
lonely morass. 4 I
Upon emerging from the gloomy for-T
est she beheld the house in flames and}
surrounded by the soldiers, while, fly
mg toward her, and wringing he ,
hands in agony, came Aunt Dinah, whoi
sobbed out: “Honey, honey! is you got!
de baby? Aunt Dinah jes stop one,

honey, is you got do baby?”
The next moment a lithe form flash?

disappeared within the structure, from
which greedy tongues of smoke and
flame were spitefully thrust out of
doors and windows. Before the.
startled soldiers had finished their.
cries of consternation, Marion reap-L
peered, bearing in her burnt, brave llts
tie arms a white bundle, from which
a child's frightened cry was heard as
the heroic girl once more rushed away
in the direction of the swamp.“ In-
stead of impeding her flight, the En—_

cheered her until the dark forest hid)
her from their view. __ __J
