Sixteen war ships will attack the defenses of Wash ington and Baltimore at midnight. June U. and continue their offensive opera tions for six days and nights. Mean while the fortresses along Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River, constitut ing the artillery districts of the Chesa peake, Washington and Baltimore, will put forth every defense of which they are capable. ' With it all the struggle is to be blood less, practically noiseless, devoid of the spectacular, and intensely Interesting only to the Army and Navy experts who . are playing the game and know the con structive effect of the unloaded mines and the empty shells. The exercises are to constitute the only joint operations of the Army and Navy during the year. They have been desig nated "Joint exercises," to distinguish them from the more elaborate movements of "combined Army and Navy" maneuv ers, which were first planned, but which failed of approval for lack df an ade quate appropriation from Congress. The operations to be conducted under rules which have been agreed upon by a Joint board of Army and Navy officers. Solution of the Problems. ' Considerable importance Is attached to the distinction between maneuvers and Joint exercises. Maneuvers are held to apply to operations where actual war conditions are simulated, while exercises mean only that certain prescribed prob lems are to be attempted. ' In the present instance the object of each of the several forms of attack by the Navy will be to demonstrate the strength or weakness of some particular phase of the defense. From the informa tion obtainable the programme first con templates the test of Fortress Monroe. Expert artillery opinion has long held that this fortress Is the principal de fense of the Chesapeake and consequent ly the Cities of Washington and Balti more. Dickins Commands the Enemy. The hostile fleet has been assembled under command of Rear-Admiral Fran cis W. Dickins, and with his flagship. the Texas, is lying at Annapolis. June 30 Admiral Dickins will hold his last communication with shore. He will not divulge his plans or place of his attack, but It is the supposition that he will put to sea, having technically established a base at Norfolk. His squadron consists of the battleship Texas, under command of Captain Blck- nell, the protected cruisers Newark and Atlanta, Commanders Badger and Halsey, respectively;, the double-turret . monitor Terror, commanded by Lieutenant Ful ton; the single-turret monitors Florida, Arkansas and Nevada, Commanders Fre mont. Gait and Reynolds; the cruiser Hartford. Commander Vedeer; the torpedo-boat destroyers Whipple, Worden McDonough and Stewart, under com mand of Lieutenants Chase, McCorrolck, Curtln and Sellers; the gunboats Hornet, Siren and Sylvia, manned by the Mary land naval militia, and the monitor Purl tan. by the naval militia of the District of Columbia. , Play at'llldc-and-Seek. Anchor is to be weighed June S. and from then on a fascinating game of hide and-seek will be indulged in between the artillery and the Navy; that the where abouts of the ships may be definitely known at midnight of June 11. it is explained that the night attacks arc to ascertain the efficiency of the searchlights of the fortification and also to give the Navy exercise in construe' tlvely making these lights dark. To ren der this more effective the ships of the squadron have been painted four colors; the Texas, Newark. Atlanta, Terror, Hornet, Siren and Sylvia are white; the Florida, Arkansas, Nevada, war color; the Hartford, black, and the torpedo-boat destroyers dark green. Artillery fire will be directed on the ships as they are picked up by the lights, but for this exercise the mines are not regarded as In existence. Tabu lated observations of what has been ac complished on each side are to be made by the umpires and observers. On each "ship will be a naval umpire and an ar tillery observer, and In each fortress will be an art 111 pry umpire and a naval observer. No Big Guns Will Boom. None of the big guns of the Navy will be fired, neither will the big guns of the fortifications be heard. These guns on both side, however, will be trained on the target the same as in actual war. and their fire will be indicated by the discharge of a blank cartridge in a one- pounder. To locate the mine fields constitutes an other problem. For some weeks the ar tillery has had four boats planting mines. These mines are not loaded, but con structively they will be Just as danger ous to the Navy as though they contained explosives, unless located and destroyed through counter mining operations. Dur ing these operations also the artillery of the fortresses will play on the vessels. Shift In the Operations. When these exercises have been con cluded before one set of defenses the ac tors will move to another, and should Fortress Monroe be the first point of at tack as is anticipated, the conclusion of the programme there will be followed by the same operations against the fort resses near Washington and Baltimore. . The operations of the defenses are un der the general supervision of Major-, General James F. ' Wade, commanding BARK APACHE IS SPOKEN Sighted by Liners About 250 Miles West of the Lizard. LONDON, June L The steamship Min- netonka reports that she spoke the Amer ican bark Apache, the belated contestant in the transatlantic race for the German Emperor's cup, 250 miles west of the Liz ard, at 7 o'clock this morning. Th Red Star line steamer Kroonland spoke the Apache. 116 miles west of the Lizard at 2:35 o'clock this afternoon. It is, therefore, probable that the distance at which the Minnetonka reports that she spoke the yacht is wrong. EXPOSITION BLOCK BURNS Hundreds of Milwaukee People Es cape in Safety. MILWAUKEE, June 4. The Milwaukee Exposition building, occupying a city block, was totally destroyed by fire this evening. The loss Is $300,000. The fire is supposed to have been started from an electric light wire. At the time the fire broke out there were over 1600 poo pi o in tho building, but all got out safely. NEW YORK GAS TRUST WINS (Continued from Fiivt Pace) KING GOES Alfonso's Last Day in France j a Busy One. HOME' ?!'mmmmmmmm''mmmr Iff TO CHURCH AND THE' RACES upon the police of a groat city was em phasized this week, when Commissioner McAdoo formally appointed a squad of a dozen men, In charge of a sergeant, to look after the newsboys. It is a law In New York that boys under 10 years old cannot sell papers, boys be tween 10 and 14. can sell them if they have a license and a badge, and only boys over 14 can sell papers after 10 P. M. Ncwsgirls are also licensed, and arc de nied permission to ply their trade at night. This law has been Ignored, almost from the start, and representatives of' various children's societies called on Mr. McAdoo and asked him to see that the provisions ! of the measure woro fully enforced. The Commissioner agreed with them. and now the newsboys have a lively time of it, for every youngster found selling papers, is held up, unless he has a badge, and forced to give an account of himself. A number of arrests have already been made, and the police declare they will keep it up indefinitely. Rialto Paradcrs Kept on the Move. Another special squad is detailed now In the theatrical district, around Broadway and Forty-econd street. This is the actor's season of discon tent, and that part of town is crowded with unemployed professionals who exchange long-winded reminiscences regarding the "hit I made at Missoula," etc As the actors seldom move from the spot where they hold receptions, and as mixed In with them ore many race track followers, ordinary loafers and a few pickpockets. It Is practically im possible for prdinary pedestrians to make their way through tho crush. Hence the Indignation of McAdoo, which has caused the assignment of three extra men to the RIalto, with in structions to force everybody to move on. The new rule, however, meets with great approval on the part of the New Tork public. Great Crowds at the Station Cheer His Majesty and President Lou bet When Leave Is Taken. Purse for Paris Poor. . PARIS, June 5. The last day of King Alfonso's sojourn in Paris comprised an immense programme. Including a service at the Spanish Church, a visit to the museum at The Louvre, and the witness ing of a grand steeplechase, where 000 persons were present. The visit of the King and President Loubct attracted a brilliant complement of society leaders, and most of the Min isters of the diplomatic corps, including Ambassador and Mrs. McCormick. who awaited the arrival of the King and the President in the inckuure, where an ovation was accorded them. The race proved an easy victory for M. Ruddeck'a Canard, with Jockey Woodland up. Seven of the 13 starters fclL The day's ceremonies concluded with a dinner given by Foreign Minister Del cassc to His Majesty at the Palace d'Orsay. President Loubet, the members of the Cabinet and the diplomatic corps, the president of the Chamber of Deputies and the president of the Senate were present. The King left at midnight from the In. valldes station on his journey to Madrid. Enormous crowds were at the station and cheered the King and the President dur ing the leave-taking. When the train containing tho King left for Cherbourg, the track was guarded from end to end by armed troops. King Alfonso left $5000 for the poor of Parle. MINCES DINE WITH E3IPEKOR Dinner in Honor of Koyal Couple About to Marry. BERLIN, June 4. All the visiting Princes and Princesses dined with Em peror William and Empress Augusta Vic toria tonight In honor of tho Duchess Cecilia and the Crown Prince Frederick William, who are to be married next Tuesday. Altogether 240 persons were present at the dinner and Included among the guests were Cabinet Ministers, Gen erals and Admirals. Duchess Cecilia made a remarkable per sonal Impression on the guests. She was animated, cordial and unaffected. Emperor William took Grand Duchess Anastasla to table and by his attention to her quite disproved the stories of dis cord between them. At the conclusion of the dinner Duchess Cecilia called for two glasses of champagne and handed them to the two pages who bore her train. There were no toasts. The dinner ended as a torchlight procession of students with flags and music came down Umer den Linden. The royal party went out on a balcony where the Duchess and Crown Prince stood, in a brilliant light so that the marchers could see them. Fly hundred persons were either over come by the heat Saturday or injured in j me uu u nmcu conic id view inc en trance of the Duchess Cecilia into Ber lin. Thirty -six of them are In a serious condition. THE CITY OP PORTLAND. FOREST GROVE, Or., June 3. tTo th Edi tor.) As a citizen of Orc-en interested In Its good name, wit you permit me a few lines In praise el Tortland &e it appear te me today? I am not and have never bewi a rraldent ef Portland, but have been a quite frequent vis itor tor the put 1C years, and It la from that standpoint Z epexJc A rood deal of unfavorable criticism of tbe city and Us government has been made during the Tuut two or three years by dome of Portland's own citlxen. How much baa been prompted by patriotism and bow much by other motives 1 could net eren presume to guerc. What are the actual conditions com plained ot I can merely Judge from appear ances. I do not frequent saloons, cambllnc and bawdyhouaes and am not authority as to hew they are conducted. But this I do knew, tbat to me. as an occasional visitor, the city of Portland at so time durinr my acquaintance has presented no respectable an appearance as during the last three years. Never before Aid it have the air of respecta bility and decency that it preeenta today. Never did it look so well roverned and free from social corruption. Never were the deni zens ef tbe red-Debt district so ahy and se cluded. Not only does Portland compare favorably with Itself durinr past years, but It com pares very favorably with other cities ot the Coast and of tbe whole country, tor that mat ter. Juet now a rreat deal of noise has been heard about to many saloon located near tbe sates of the Fair around. Tbey are much less In evidence than they were at the Kates of the St. Louis Fair, and no thicket than Is common at such places. Present conditions are not ideal, -but soth lng earthly Is; our bicbect hopes may sot have been realised, for they seldom are. Cor ruptlon and lawlessness may exist, but the same. Is true of every place tbe world over But If appearanees are to count for asythlnr, no observing' man can fall to ee that Port' land Is better than ever before, and equal to the brt anywhere. To my mind. It would be a great misfortune, not only to tbe City ot Portland, but te tbe whole etate. It the man responsible fer these conditions should not be re-elected. Beset on one hand by Im practical theorists and on tbe other by un scrupulous corrurtianlsts, one man ha un falteringly stood for the best pracUcal. The city ha steadrly Improved, and. as I under stand, the treasury has not been bankrupted. Do not be deceived Into tblnUng that Judge Williams has not made one ot the best Stayors Portland ever had.
