RESULT IS SATISFACTORY
The Strange Vessel Ran Swiftly 'on the
Surface or Under the “'ater and Her
Diving Apparatus “'orked Aflnirabiy.
The Boat is Certainly a “‘oniier in
Naval Construction.
g"New York, Nov. 14.—-With United
States naval officers on board direct-
ing and controlling its movements, the
submarine torpedo boat Holland was
put to an official test in the 1911 er bay
yesteidav before the naval boaid of
inspectors and survey from Washing?
ton, with a view to the purchase of the
‘boat by the government.
For the first time the boat was direc-
ted by government officers, and the in-
spection was the first made by all the
members of the board, among when
was Captain Robley Evans commander
of the Iowa
Fighting Bob examined the strange
w-t‘anoeuv1 es of the wonderful little ves—
'31 with a critical eye, and seemed
' leased when the inspection was ended.
"or the test was the most successful
that has yet been made with the H01-
land.
She first discharged an eleven-foot
torpedo in the harbor, then put to sea
and went through a remarkable pro-
gramme. diving, plunging under and
out of the water like a porpoise, run—
ning at full speed under the surface,
and reversing swiftly while submerged.
Lieutenant W. J. Sears, inspector of
ordnance in the navy, who arranged
the torpedo test, said the official trial
of the boat had been very successful.
Two large parties accompanied the
Holland. The members of the board
of inspection and survey, with other
naval officers, and the owners of the
Holland, were in one tug; a second was
'reserved for the newspaper men and
artists.
Composing the naval board were
«Captain Frederick Rogers, the chair-
1man: Commander William H. Emory,
" Lieutenant Nathan Sargent, recorder,
and Captain Evans.
The Holland lay at the Atlantic
Yacht Club moorings at the foot of
Fifty-ninth streeet, South Brooklyn,
where the inspecting party with Mr.
Holland, the owner of the boat, landed.
Several changes had been made in
the torpedo boat since its former trials.
”It lay in the water with but little more
than the conning tower showing above
the surface. It still bore a steel. up-
right, or mast, fore and aft, one flying
"the Union Jack and the other the Stars
and Stripes.
Its crew was composed of H. C. D.
Nindermann, who was with Lieutenant
De Long on his Arctic exploration in
the Jeannette; Matthew Addison, F. C.
Cable and Henry Myers.
When the signal was given to cast
off, at noon, Lieutenant Sargent. who
inspected the boat last spring, and
Chief Engineer Lowe descended
through the conning tower to superin-
tend the manoeuvres, and work the
boat themselves.
In response to signals from the tug,
the Holland then turned seaward and
ran at cruising position—that is, bare-
ly on the surface—out through the Nar-
rows and to a point two »miles south
of the Orchard Shoal light.
The sea was‘almost as calm as a.
mill pond. There were no craft cruis-
in?r about to make diving dangerous.
In response to signals from the tug.
the Holland first ran for ten minutes
to the northwest, completely submerg-
cd, only her two little flags showing
above the water.
Lieutenant Sargent had been stand-
ing in the conning tower steering the
torpedo boa
At the order to submerge, he quickly
pulled down the cover of the tower and
the boat sank out of sight. After run—
ning swiftly to the northwest, she
{Tillie to the surface, and turning about
12111 submerged in the opposite direc-
tion.
Her air and water compartments, by
which she sinks or rises, worked with—
(11:21 hitch and she sank like lead.
'l‘h? 51 began a series of dives. She ran
s11.ft‘:' forward and a moment later
her nose dipped into the waves, her
stern tilted into the air, and she dived
like a duck, her flags disappearing be—
:te' th the surface.
For three or four minutes nothing
couid be seen of her. Three hundred
vards away to the right she suddenly
rose cut of the water and glided over
the surface. There were murmurs of
admiration and approval among the
members of the board.
Next the Holland made a series of
four dives in quick succession, rising
above and sinking beneath the waves
like a porpoise, and followed this feat
with a dive in which she completely re-
versed her position. ,
Priest- Atiacked “'ith Dynamite.
Scranton,Nov. 14.—-Because the Rev.
John Orloroskie, past-or of the Duryea.
Polish Catholic Church, refused to ac—
ode to the demands of a gang of des-
peravdoes and pay them $100, a dastard-
ly attempt was made on his life Satur-
day night. As it was the entire front
of his home was wrecked with dyna-
mite. The stoop was shattered, win-
dow-s broken and the church, about
sixty feet distant, also damaged.
The priest received an anonymous
letter written in Polish about one
month ago which when translated
read as follows:
“You must pay us $100 .in money or
we will murder you and blow up
your house. The money you can
place in a bottle and leave lit buried
in the ground right under the corner-
s-D‘.’ one of the church. Do not expect a
second demand. "
Dr. Orloroskie paid no attention to
the demand, and this fearful Work
followed.

’ HAVANA QUIET AGAIN. . M‘
Orden Publico Force Disbanded After a
Partial Payment of Arrears.
Havana, November 14. —The Orden
Pub-L ico force, cavalry and infantry
regiments, has been disbanded after a
part payment of arrears {has been
made. The trouble leading to the dis;
bandment of the force began with the
protest of the Third Company on
Thursday morning before the Palace.
At that time General Solono, chief of
the Staff of General Blan-co, addressed ’
the men and led them back to their’
quarters on Compestel-a. street, where
the men gave cheers for Spain and
General Blanco. Genera-'1 Arolas, Mili-
tarv Governor of Havana, ordered
more than 4,000 troops quartered in
the outskirts of Havana to march into
the city, Where-they arrived at night—
fall. A.-t rt'he head of a. portion of these
troops General Arolas marched toward
the Orden Publico quarters, where the
protesting Third Company was drawn
up in the street under arms. The reg-
ulars refused to charge or fire upon
their brother soldiers, who were finall-
ly persuaded to retire to their qu-anters.
Baring these s’light incidents, the
military authorities have maintained
thorough control of the city. The sum
total of the casualities Thursday night
was three: A lieutenant on General
Arolas’ staff, wounded in the right
hand: one Orden Publico wounded
slightly, and another wounded serious-
iv. The city has again resumed its
normal 'itranquil-lity, all-though regulars
are still quartered in the principal
streets and parks of the city as a pre-
oautionarv measure. It was expected
by the leaders of the demonstration
that the Guardia. Civile and pant of
the artillery brigade would lend their
support, but they did not.

FINDING THE MARIA TERESA.
An Official Report to The Nvay Depart-
m'eni: from Commander Craven.
W'ashington, Nov. 14.—-An official re-
port to the navy department of the
finding of the Maria Teresa was con~
tained in the following Cable dispatch
received from Commander Craven of
the wrecking tug Potomac, which had
been ordered to Cut island from Santi-
ago: '
Nassau, Nov. 12.
Secretary of the Navy, Washington:
Potomac arrived. Maria Teres near
Bird Point, Cat island, one mile off
shore in two fathoms of water. Tide
rising and falling inside. Temporary
deck broken up, movable articles re-
moved by natives. Vulcan not seen.
Natives at work since Saturday.
The Potomac was ordered at once
back to Cat island with instructions
to Commander Craven to take posses—
sion of the Teresa and drive off the
wreckers who are looting the ship.
He replied by cable that he would
start immediately and would arrive at
the wreck in the morning. The fact
that the Teresa, a vessel drawing in
trim twenty—three‘feet of water, and
waterlogged as she was when aban-
doned, probably drawmg nearly thirty
feet, should have been driven into 13
feet of water is regarded by naval off:-
of the storm which caused her crew
to abandon her.

Pets Travel in Baskets.
Not to be deb-lured from carrying
Fido on railroads where dogs are not
allowed, except in baggage cars, the
up-to-date woman has adopted an in-
genious device. Some of the large
stores have been displaying unique
wicker baskets of a pattern and finish
which immediately attract the atten-
tion of the shopper. These baskets
are shaped like an ordinary market
basket, though finished a little more
artistically, and are opened at one
end for ventilation, but barred by rat-
tan rails to prevent Fido from escap-
ing. Madam can carry her pet on
board a train and, provided the dog or
tabby makes no noise, she is free
from detection.
Other shops are showing bags
for cats, parrots, monkeys and dogs.
These bags come in all sizes, are oil-
cloth lined, and shield the pet from
the conductor’s objecting eyes. Each
end of the satchel has heavy wire
gratings, which admit the air, and
may be instantly covered by canvas
screens in case a railroad official
comes uncomfortably neon—«Philadel-

Field Glass "That Sfi'ods' Distances.
The latest improvements in optical
instruments is a gauge attached to a
field glass and a. prismatic lens in one
of the barrels to determine the dis-
tance of an object. This is accom-
plished by producing two images of
the object seen, one superimposed upon
the other. The prism creates the an-
gle which forms the basis for the
dis-
tance, and the scale contains the so-
lution in advance of the geometrical
problem. On the barrels of the glass
are human figures—one of an infant-
ryman and the other of a cavalryman
-—with a graduated scale. By observ-
ing the portion of the body against
I which the top of the second image is
projected and consulting the scale the
distance of the object is easily ascer-
tained. Of course the accuracy of the
,5 test depends‘upon accurate focusing
' of the glasses and careful

FEATS OE THE CAVALRY HORSE.
Douglas’ Plucky Ride Through Rain and
Mud to General Ewell.
The one sad feature about the war
is that the cavalry horse was not test-
ed. In fact the muddg, roads” the long
distances required for transportation.
made this almost impossible. Yet
some wonderful feats have been per-
formed by our horsemen to train them
for the campaigns of actual warfare.
General King tells of a plucky ride
made in the seventies by Lieut. James
F. Bell, of the Seventh, just to show
What our mounted soldiers could have
done had the campaign developed.
Bell was ordered to Medora, a little
town at the crossing of the Little Mis-
souri by the Northern Pacific railway,
where he found important dispatches
for his brother officer, Lieutenant Gar-
iington, then in the field, and, all alone,
Bell rode away from Medora at sun-
rise on an August morning. covered
fifty to fifty- five miles through the
roughest co entry in the Northwest by
noon, got a fresh mount in Captain
Varnum’s camp, and just after sunset
reached Garlington. The distance cov-
ered was at least one hundred miles.
and the gait was trot or gallop all the
way.
The records of the cavalry regiments
on duty in Arizona or Wyoming dur-
ing the Indian campaigns of the last
twenty years furnishes numerous in-
stances of long rides of this character.
The annals of the great war have
many more—perhaps the most remark-
able being that of Henry Kyd Doug-
las, now Adjutant-General of Mary-
land, but at the time a young officer
selected to bear despatches for Stone-
wall Jackson, through pitchy dark-
ness. over river and mountain, from
Harrison-burg in the Shenandoah val-
ley, around Massanutten mountain,
over the Blue Ridge through Swift
Run gap, then by way of Stann-ards-
ville, Madison Court-House, Culpeper,
and Brandy Station, to General Ewell,
then “in the field.” Douglas started
just after sundown of an April even-
ing, and in a pouring rain splashed
through mud and mire and the black~
ness of Erebus over the mountain trail;
exchanged his gall-ant blooded mare
for a. big, raw-boned racer some forty
miles from the starting point; used up
mount No. 2 in a fifteemmile spurt to
Madison 0. H., where be swapped
him for a. little gray which stumbled
in the mire and darkness after a. run
of barely a mile, and could not be
induced to rise. The magic of Jack-
son’s name won him mount No. 4, who
carried him nine miles and gave place
to a gaunt roan. The next stage was
the eleven-mile dash to Culpeper,
where, in the faint, cold glimmer of
dawn, the young officer reached Gen-
eral Dick Taylor. who steered him on
to Brandy Station and beyond. Just
twenty hours from the start, Doug-
las found General Ewell and delivered
his rain-soaked despatches. He had
covered, the entiLe distance of one
hundred and five miles in less than
twenty hours.
NEWS READINGS IN DAWSON-
Enterprising liIan Blakes $300 Reading to
the Miners.
A novel story is told by the Portland
Oregonian about the way the news of
the blowing up of the Maine was re-
ceived in Dawson City. An enterpris-
ing Yankee got hold of the first copy
of a newspaper containing the account.
He made arrangements for getting the
news abroad in this business like fash-
ion:
tenting a vacant saloon building, hc
caused bulletins to be issued giving an
inkling of the character of the. news
that had been received, most judiciousa
1y worded, and announcing that the
full account would be read in public in
the evening in the mammoth one story
log edifice next the Blue Ruin dive on
Brimstone street; admission two pen-
nyweights of gold, ranging in value
from $1.50 to $1.75.
At the appointed time ' the miners
gathered to hear the news, and two
hundred or more of them tossed their
gold dust into the door keeper’s scales
and crowded inside. The reading was
satisfactory, if the news was not, and
there was no grumbling about the in-
vestment. No less than $300 and prob-
ably much more, was realized from
that idea. The reader was a liberal sort
of chap, and he read the other neWS in
the paper merely as a. courtesy to the
assembly.
This practice grew as the nation
neared war and after the war began,
audit is a. frequent occurrence for a
public reading of important news to be
given in Dawson at so much per head
for permission. And the cooped up men
pay for nothing more cheerfully than
war news. Their liberality in this mat-
ter is sometimes taken advantage of,
and stale stuff palmed off for news, and
even the Dawson City public is dis-
criminating in this particular. and is
strongly disposed to' resent the swin-
die.
Sacred Fin-s of India.
The sacrtd fires of India have not all ‘
been extinguished. The most ancient,
which still exists, was consecrated 12
centuries ago in commemoration of the
voyage made by the Parse'es when they
emigrated from ”Persia. to India. The
fire is fed five times every twenty-four
hours with sandalwood and other fro.-
grant materials, combined with very
dry fuel. This fire, in (the village of
Oodwada, near Bulsar, is visited by
Parsees in large numbers during the
months alloted to the presiding gen-
Ius of fire.
