2 THE HORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1902. MIMIC NAVAL WAR Programme of Maneuvers Off Atlantic Coast OBJECT IS TO REACH A PORT" Admiral Iilersrlnson Commands the Defending; Squadron, Commander Pillsbury tbe Attacking: Fleet Problem to Bo Solved. ROCKPORT, Mass., Aug;. 2a The New England Coast fromJPortland Harbor to Cape Cod Is on a war basis, and will be for" some t'irbe to come. iTheinen -who are the most Interested are the- officers and crews of the vessels of the North Atlantic fleet, which Rear-Admiral Higglnson com mands. To put the situation in a few words is to say that somewhere in the Atlantic is a fleet supposed by the North Atlantic fleet to be a hostile one, which hy strategy purely Intends reaching the New England shores. On the other hand, Rear-Admiral .glnson is to use his fleet to stop that 'enemy. It Is a war game to be worked out with real men manning actual fight ing machines, under unavoidable condl tlons of wind and waves, with the proba bilities of fog and storm, and, what is more important, the ever-present danger of disaster on the reefs and shoals which naturally guard much of this coast line. The war game began at noon, when Rear-Admiral Higglnson moved his fleet out of the harbor of refuge here and" went in .search of the enemy. Tonight the picket line has been established, and mimic war without the burning of gunpow der may begin at any moment. The con ditions, however, make it appear certain that Commander Pillsbury will not at tempt to land until at least tomorrow night; in fact, his attack is expected then. The question that confronted Admiral Higglnson as he studied his map on the Xearsarge tonight was the location and hour of attack of the opposing squadron. He has his naval intelligence bureau con necting all points along the shore from Portland to Provlncetown, and the cen tral point is In a shed on the shore of the harbor of refuge. By telephonic com munication the flagship can be Informed of the appearance of any otrange vessel off the coast, and in such an event tho Admiral can quickly assemble his fleet and proceed to that point and endeavor to crush the enemy. All was activity on the defending squadron tonight, although tho night was one of the most beautiful of the Summer, making it almost certain that Commander Pillsbury would not be so rash as to attempt to fun into the coast when his craft could bo seen, miles away. The Plan of Cnmpalsn. WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. The mimic naval war began at noon today. Admiral Higglnson and Commander Pillsbury, In command of the rival fleets, respeotively designated "Blue" and "White," the latter under command of Commander Pillsbury. being tho attacking fleet, were supplied with confidential instructions, which went into effect at noon. The problem for tho "White" fleet, which is at sea, is to effect a landing between Portland. Me., and Cape Cod, before August 25. To be successful, the attacking fleet must seize some unde fended anchorage between the points named, Portland harbor being included, hut not Casco Bay. and hold It for six hours without being ousted by a superior force. The Instructions define the harbor seized as one that must be capable of gun and I mine defense, with not les3 than six fath- oms of water, anchorage for several large ships, and in all respects suitable for an J advance bas3 for an enemy's fleet, in- ! eluding heavy ships. Under the Instruc tions defining the character of the har bor he must seize. Commander Pillsbury is much restricted. The Prairie, which is the heaviest-draught vessel In his fleet, draws slightly under 2C feet, the Panther IS feet .2 inches, and the Supply 20 feet. Naval officers have generally agreed, that the chances against the "White" squadron in the game which is on are very great, and that practically its only chance of success will lie In the existence of a heavy fog", under cover of which Commander Pillsbury might slip through the cordon of scouts and reach an anchorage in an undefended port. Tho distance between Cape Cod, the southern extremity of the coast defended" hy Admiral Hlgglnson's fleet, and Portland, Me., Is only about 100 miles. In addition to the torpedo craft and his lightship, which he could use as scouts and string between these points almost within signal distance of each other, while the heavier ships were held together ready to move at some central point. Admiral Higglnson has stationed Ensigns all along the shore to report the enejny the moment it is sighted. These naval officers will bo reinforced by all marine observers along the coast. To win. the "White" squadron must be in port for six hours without being confronted by a superior force. Within the time after the "White" squad ron Is sighted. Admiral Higglnson. if he holds his heavy ships midway between the two extremities of the line to be de fendedat Rockport, for instance could reach his enemy by steaming 10 or '11 knots an hour. From Capo Ann. which is just outside of Rockport. to Cape Cod is only 42Vj miles, and from Cape Ann to Elizabeth Light, outside of Portland, is only 5S miles. Anothinr feature of the situation against the chances of the "White Squad will militate against the "White Squad ron Is tbe Instruction which requires Commander Pillsbury to enter "an unde fenocd harbor." one "with deep-water ap proaches." with "six fathoms" of water, one capable of defense by "guns and mines," and one In which heavy ships could anchor. These restrictions will con fine him to at least a dozen harbors, among them Portland, Portsmouth. Rock port, Salem and Provlncetown. None of the other places, like Newburyport, Ip swich, Anniquan, Gloucester, 2-fanchester. Beverly, Marblehead. above Boston, or Plymouth, Barnstable and other ports be low, would be available. A full moon is also another factor against the enemy's success. Under the circumstances, the naval experts generally agree that an at tempt to strike the coast during the day time would be foolhardy for the attack ing fleet: hut at night, -with very thick weather, it might be possible for Com mander Pillsbury. with his ships dark ened, to creep In. pass the scouts and o.uietly anchor without being reported un til too late for Admiral Higglnson to reach him with a- superior force. The speed of Commander Pillsbury's fastest ship, the Prairie, is 14.9 knots, the Panther can make 14. but the" Supply only 94, so that if the fleet is Isept together, as his direc tions tread, the speed of his squadron can not he more than its slowest unit, name ly, 9V knots. If sighted outside, therefore, hy one of the swift torpedo-boats, which make from 20 to 25 knots an hour, the scout could scoot away to the nearest land point and report the enemy to Ad miral Higglnson, who could be on his way to intercept him before the latter could reach his destination. MOBILIZATipX. OP TROOPS. Order for Army Maneuvers at Fort Riley, Kan. WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. An order was Issued at the War Department today di recting the mobilization of a mixed divis ion of regulars and militia, on the large- reservation at Fort Riley, Kan. The reg ular troops to participate in the encamp ment and attend the maneuvers at that point comprise the following organiza tions: First Batalllort of Engineers; headquar ters, bandV First and Second Squadrons Fourth Cavalry: Third Squadron Eighth Cavalry Sixth, Seventh, Nineteenth, Twentieth and Twenty-eighth Batteries of the Artillery; headquarters, band and 12 companies Sixth United States Infan try; headquarters, band and li. companies Twenty-second United States Infantry; headquarters, band and Eighteenth Unit ed States Infantry, except Company detachment -of Signal Corps; detachment of Hospital Corps. The Governors of all the states were in vited to send a contingent of the various state troops to participate in these ma neuvers, but for want of appropriations and various other causes, very few of tho states found themselves able, -at this late day, to participate. Arkansas will send ono batalllo'n of infantry; Kansas two regiments of Infantry and two batteries of field artillery, and Nebraska, two reg iments of infantry. A number of Govern ors of states have signified their Inten tion to send officers to witness these maneuvers, and they have expressed the hope that they may be able in future years to furnish organizations to taKe part in such practical work, which will be of great benefit to all participating. It Is expected that President Roosevelt will review the troops participating In the maneuvers, but the date of the re view has not been determined definitely. The-regular contingent of the division will go Into camp at Fort Riley Septem ber 20 and will be followed by the state organizations September 29. It Is Intended to continue joint maneuvers for a period of 10 days'after the division is organized. In order not to interfere with the current work of the various department headquar ters, a special division staff has been de tailed to report to Major-Goneral John C. Bates, who has been asfilgned to the com mand of the division during the maneu vers. The benefits to be derived from this coming together of brigades and divisions is eo apparent that the War Department has fully determined upon this policy for the future. Many states have permanent maneuvers for their National Guards dur ing tho Summer months, and the result has been extremely beneficial to all those organizations. The regular Army has had an abundance of field service during the past four years, but nearly all. their re cent work has been done by small de tachments, frequently mere sqpadfl. It is probable that the maneuvers for this year will include instructions in advance and rear guard, patroJHngT passage of defiles, defense of convoys, marches or concen tration, attack and defense of positions, use of pontoon bridges, and combined ma neuvers of the three arms. The fallowing officials have been en signed to duty on the staff of General Bates and have been directed to report at Fort Riley not later than September 20: J. J. W. McClemand. cavalry. Adjutant General; Lieutenant-Colonel S. C. Mills, Inspector-General; Cop'talni C. B. Baker, Chief Qunrtermaster; Captain H. J. Gal lagher, Chief of Commissary: Lieutenant Colonel John Van R. Hoff, Chlof Surgeon, and Major G. P. Schrlver, Chief Signal Officer. Falling OA in Pensions. TOPEKA, Knn., Aug. 2a The annual report of Wilder S. Metcalf7 Pension Agent, shows for the first time In the history of the office a falling off In the amount of money paid out for pensions. Tho total amount disbursed from Topelta for the fiscal year ending June SO was $15,903,135 59. COMMERCE WITH ISLANDS Exports of the United States to ItM Xoncontlnrnons Territory. WAEHINGTON. Aug. 19. Definite fig ures of the commerce of the United States with its noncontiguous territory during the fiscal year just ended are now com pleted by the Treasury Bureau of Statis tics. They show that Porto Rico took from tho United States In the fiscal year 1902 merchandise valued at $10,719,444. com pared with $l,98.SSS.ln 1897. and that the shipments to the United States from Porto Rico in the fiscal year 1902 were $3,297,122. compared with J2.181.024 In 1S97. To the Philippines exports were 13,261.567 In 1802. compared with ?4.587 In 1897. and the Imports from the Philippines were S5.G12.7O0 In 1902, compared with J4.3S3.740 in 1&97. To the Hawaiian Islands the ex p'orts in 1900 were, according to the best estimates, of the Collector at Honolulu. 519,000.000 in 1902. compared with Sl.GW.073 In 1S97, and the receipts of merchandise Into the United States from Hawaii In 1900 were $24,700,429, compared with $12.- 6S7.798 In 1687. To Porto Rico. Hawaii and the Philippines combined the shipments in 1902 were 534,971.311 in value, compared with 6,773,560 in 1E97, and the receipts of mer chandise from those islands in 1902 were JS9.C10.551. compared with 520.252.563 in 1S97. Shipments by the Government for its troops or officers are not included in the above figures. The figures published by the Bureau of Statistics in the monthly summary show the shipments from the United States to Its noncontiguous territory and furnish an cpportunlt" to determine the principal ar ticles In which this large growth has oc curred. To Porto Rico the principal ship ments were cotton goods. Iron and steel manufactures. breadBtuffs, rice, provisions. wood and manufactures, leather and man-H ufactures. fish, mineral oils and vege tables. To the Philippines the principal exports were manufactures of iron and steel, provisions, brcadstuffs, cotton man ufactures, mineral oils, paper and manu factures, malt liquors and manufactures of leather. The following tairles show the principal shipments to Porto Rico and the Philip pines in 1902. compared with 1S97. The details of shipments to the Hawaiian Islands in 1902 cannot be shovrn. owing to the absence of statistical records of such shipments. Beginning with the present year, however, the Bureau of Statistics has resumed the collection of detailed sta tistics of the movements of commerce be tween the United States and the Hawaiian Islands as well as those to Porto Rico, the Philippines and Alaska.

Great Northern President' Address at Trans-Mississippi Congress Building Up Oriental Trade. ST. PAUL, Aug. 20. The trust question was la evidence again today in tbe dis cussions before the Trans-Mlsslsslppl Congress, and a number of resolutions bearing upon Its various phases wero In troduced and recommended to the com mittee on resolutions. Colonel Moses O. Wttmore, of St. Louis, Introduced a. scries of strong anti-trust resolutions which declared that trusts area menace to a republican form of government and to the hopes and ambitions of youth, and urged the President to enforce the laws against illegal combinations, and, if those laws are insufficient, he Is asked to call upon Congress to supply the defi ciency. On tho other hand. Mr. Thurber, of New York, introduced a resolution asking Congress to suspend Judgment un til it can be loarncd whether or not trusts are an evlll Mr. Thurber's declaration in his speech of yesterday, that after months of careful .Inquiry and examination he was able to assert that the so-called beef trust was a figment of the imagination, called, forth a resolution today from William H. Eustls, of Minneapolis, asking that this part of Mr. Thurber's address be expunged from the records of the congress. The motion caused a lively debate and was made a special order for tomorrow's seEslon. A number of notable addresses were made today, that of President J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern Railroad, upon "Oriental Trade," being of special Inter est. State organizations for next year were reported by the different delegations, as follows: Alaska Vice-president, John W. Ivey, VaJdcz; executive committee, Julius Thompson, Nome; A. G. Swlnford. Ketchi kan. Montana Resolutions, W. W. Wood, ridge, Klngsdale; permanent organization, John Conljn; vice-president. Hon. Paris Gibson. Great Falls; executive committee, J. D. O'Donnell, Billings. Washington Permanent organization, Donald Fletcher, Saattle; resolutions, J. W. Ivey and Georga A. Brackctt; vice president. Gerald Fletcher; executive committee, Judge Brownell, William Tlg gotc J. J. Hill, president of the Northern Se curities Company, was introduced to the congress at the afternoon session and spoke on "Our Trade With tho Orient," a topic on which, he hns come to be re garded as- na-authority. Ho sketched briefly the trade with the Orient and the various movements directed toward secur ing It in' the past. Prom the opening of Japan to foreign trade that -country's trade has increased tenfold. The popula tion of the Orient with which we might trade constitutes about one-half of "the population of the earth. He discussed the prospective trade with the Chinese people, whom he regarded as more enterprising and better business men than the Japan ese. He paid a high tribute to the Chinese, saying no people on earth could drive nn Intelligent Chinaman out of a commercial proposition. -Lack of adequate transpor tation facilities greatly hinders trade. Our trade there is capable of infinite develop ment. All the European countries go across- two oceans to reach that trade, which they greatly desire, while we need cross but one. He gave briefly an idea of the great development in our trade there In recent years. The first American cotton went to Japan and China six years ago, lack of transportation having previ ously prevented 1L The shipment of cot ton has constantly and greatly Increased every year since, and now his road has been compelled to refuse orders for as much as 20.000 bales of cotton in one month because of the lack of shipping facilities. The shortest and cheapest route from tho cotton fields to the Oriont is by way of Puget Sound, he tnid. He told in some dtall of the plans now un der way to handle this growing traffic. As low rates can be given across the Pa cific from any point In the United States as from New York via the Suez Canal. Speaking of the proposed Isthmian ship canal, Mr. Hill declared he would not lay a straw In the way o'f Its construction at an expersi of some 5WW.OOO.O0O, but, in his opinion, 535,000.000 to 540.000.000 spent In deepening the channel of the Mississip pi River between New Orleans and St. Louis would give far better results In the end. As to money spent on the Improve ment of tho upper waters of that same river, he thought It would be much better Invested In Irrigating the arid regions of the great West. The railroads were not in the habit of taking Into consideration river rates north of St. Louis in fixing their railroad rates, for the reason that the river business in that section was comparatively small and of little value. Ho suggested that for irrigation it would be the best plan for the Government to Irrigate and develop 1C00 acres of land at an expenea of 55 to 510 an acre and then roll It for from 510 to 520. therebv creat ing a fund to carry on further Irrigation schemes without any expense beyond that first Involved. In discussing the trade which the rail road and steamship lines would be best able to carry to the Orient, he argued that those which brought the speediest returns would be the most profitable in vestment. Insisting that chief attention should be paid to the farm products throughout the entire Western country, and that It would prove to be poor policy to depend on the development of slower manufacturing enterprises or on the less sure mining wealth of the West. The railroads wanted, products which vnM make a haul for them both ways, thereby' iUKKuig po5g:pie lower rates on what wa3 hauled. The committee on permanent organiza tion made its report this afternoon and the convention adopted It without oppo sition. The new officers are: President. John H. Kirby, Houston. Tex.; vlce-presl-dcnts-at-large. Colonel B. F. Montgorh ery, Crlnple Creek. Colo.; L. Bradford Prince, Santa Fe. N. M.: John Rlpilnger. Seattle, and N. C. Larlmore. Larlmore, N. D.

She confessed that she had given birth t the babe and had strangled It to death by fill ing Its mouth with scraps of paper. She afterward carried the child across the street and tucked It under the sidewalk. She also confessed that a man named 4 Frank Garland was tbe father of the child, and that -he bad advised her to take the course she did.

Colombiaa XasargeHts Making Use of the GsHboat Boyaca. PANAMA. Colombia, Aug. 20. The gov ernment gunboat Boyaca, which left here July 9 to earn' 300 soldiers to Agua Dulce, and which was captured by the Colombia revolutionists, Is now at sea, flying the revolutionary flag. Before she left here General Sulozar ordered the commander of the gunboat not to fire tho guns of that vessel, becauso he feared that tho bad condition of the Boyaca would endanger those on board if her guns were discharged.- Revolutionary reports- of the capture of the gunboat state that she fought two hours before being captured, and it Is believed In government circles that some accident to her. machinery or rudder forced the commander to accept unequal battle until further resistance was Impossible. The- Boyaca was a very old ship, and her machinery and keel were in very bad condition. She was built in 1SS3 at Wilmington, Del., for the Colombian Government. The hopes of the Conserva tives of Panama are now centered in tho steamer which Senor Concha, Colombian Minister at Washington, 13 supposed to havo bought recently at San Francisco. Should this vessel sail promptly for the Isthmus, with good gunners on board, it Is believed by government officials that with the reinforcements now expected here from Barr&nqullla, General Salazar need have ro fear of an attack from the revo lutionary forces under General Herrera. The steamer Palena reached port this morning from the'south, and her captain reports having met the Boyaca flying the flag of the revolutionists off the Island of Tagoguilla, about 15 miles from Panama, Nothing Is known hero of the reported surrender of the government General Morales BertI to the revolutionists at Agua Dulce. No news has been received from this General for some time past, but government officials express the belief he would only succumb after o gallant fight. The situation. here Is serious, but there Is nothing to show that General Herrera In tends to attack Panama immediately, and the statement that he Is marching toward this city 13 discredited. It Is not true that the revolutionary gunboat Padilla has de manded the surrender of Panama. The Padilla has been seen frequently off Oloque Island. Reinforcements for the Isthmns. COLON, Aug. 2a Persons who have ar rived from Cartagena say that according to General' Velcz. the government cruiser Cartagena will shortly leave that port for the Isthmus, bringing 00 soldiers and JSO.O0O In gold. The government gunboat General Pinzon has arrived at Cartagena from a trip to Colon. This vessel also will bring reinforcements to the Isthmus as soon as possible. With the exception of the revolutionary nrmy under General Herrera at Agua Dulce, there Is at present no organized Liberal army In any part of the repub lic. All trade at Cartagena and Savanllla and other points Is at a standstill. Im ports and exports continue to decrease at an alarming rate and all commerce Is sufferings from tho continuance of the revolution. No ChuiiBe nt Agan Dnlcc. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. The Colom bian Legation tonight received a cable gram from Governor Salazar, at Panama, saying the report that the government troop at Agua Dulce had surrendered was entirely without foundation and that there had been no change in the situa tion. , INEFFECTIVE BLOCKADE k Germany, France and England Pro test to Vcncsuela. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. A cablegram was received here last night at the De partment of State, from Minister Bowen, dated Caracas, yesterday. In which he reported that the government forces had evacuated Cumana the previous night. Ho further stated that he had been Informed that Germany, France and Great Britain, through their representatives nt Caracas, had Jointly characterized the Venezuelan blockade as Inefficient, whereupon the government asked for proof and suggested that merchant vessels be sent to test the efficiency of the blockade. Minister Bowen has Informed the Vene zuelan foreign office that the policy of the United States is not to recognize a block ado found Inefficient and to this an nouncement no objection was made, the Venezuelan Minister acknowledging it to bo sound. ASHAMED OF THE RECORD. No Insurgent Is Very Proud of His Record. Chicago Record-Herald. Senators and Congressmen with ears to the ground are abundant Just now. Those who were conspicuous a few weeks ago for their opposition to reciprocity with Cuba are hearing from their constituents. They are learning that the Republican voters are with the President. The beet-sugar Senators and Congress men assumed when they voted that the discussion of Cuban reciprocity would end with the adjournment of Congress. But when the President reopened the discus sion In his Fourth of July speech at Pitts burgh, and there was instant response. rrom every state, tne antl-reclproclty anti Roosevelt Republicans felt very much as did the hailing Unionists when Fort Sum ter was fired on In 1151 they had to get out of the way or be run over. And they are trying to get out of the way. Senator Elklns, for Instance, has Issued a circular to say that he was never hostile to reciprocity with Cuba, but favored reci procity by treaty rather than by legisla tion. Yet before Congress adjourned Mr. El klns made no secret of his opposition to reciprocity or of his hostility to the Presi dent. Now he Is explaining that. If the situation is fairly analyzed. It will be seen that he is in harmony with the President. Senator Burrows, of Michigan, and Sen ator Dietrich, of Nebraska, are alqo ex plaining that their opposition to reci procity did not mean opposition to the President or to party policy. Not a single beet-sugar Senator is plan ning to make a campaign on a beet-sugar platform. Not a single Republican Con gressman or Senator Is boasting of the part he played In defeating reciprocity. Not one Is pointing to his record In Con gress and asking for support on account of it. All are trying, to forget It and have others forget It. Yet tho record Is there, and will remain there until Justice lc done. And the men who made that record cannot alter It by being ashamed of It. They have got to carry. It. In fact, until it Is wiped out. Public Opinion InVcrxnont. Hartford Courant.

SAILORS' UNION PROTESTS AGAIXST BRINGING CHINESE CREW . TO' SAN FRAXCISCO. Asiatics Are on Their Way to Man the New Steamship Korea May Be Turned Back. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20. The steam ship Gaelic, with 360 Chinese on board. Is soon duo at this port. These Chinese, It Is alleged, are being brought to San Francisco to man the new steamship Ko rea. The Sailors' Union recently protest ed against this to Collector Stratton, de claring that a violation of tho immigra tion laws was contemplated. The matter was referred to the Treasury Depart ment at Washington, which directed the Collector to permit the Chinese to land. On being Informed of this fact, tho Sail ors' Union prepared another protest, which has been forwarded to the Secre tary of the Treasury, who Is asked not to allow the Chinese In question to be trans shipped from the Gaelic to the Korea. Trnnsfer May Be Prohibited. WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Regarding the statement made In dispatches from San Francisco to the effect that tho Sailors' Union there had protested to the Treas ury Department against the trans-shipment to the new steamship Korea of a Chinese crew, now on its way to San Francisco for that purpose, the Immigra tion officials hero are strongly inclined to the opinion that If the allegations mode by the Sailors' Union are substan tiated, the transfer should not be al lowed. A telegram, however, has been sent to San Francisco, asking for addi tional Information, land a decision will not be made until an answer is received. It appears that some weeks ago the Pa cific Mall steamship City of Peking, en route from China to San Francisco, wa3 disabled at sea, but finally made the port of Kobe, Japan. The Chinese crew was taken off and shipped to San Francisco, where it was to meet the new Pacific Mall steamer Korea, recently completed at Nowport News, Va. It Is assumed that the American crew now taking the Korea to San Francisco was signed for the single voyage, and that on the ship's arrival there It will bp discharged with a view of reshlpplng the Chinese crew from tho City of Peking to make the return voyage to China la the Korea. The Immigration officials state that, as the Chinese sailors were signed for the round trip on the Peking, their transfer to another vessel would necessitate their landing at San Francisco, "where they must bo resigned before a United States Commissioner. This, It Is said, undoubt edly would be a violation of the Immigra tion laws, and If the facts are found to be as stated by the Sailors' Union, the application to make the transfer, without doubt, will be denied. Captured Smnjr fried Chinese. EL PASO, Tex.. Aug. 20. John Graham, a ranchman living west of El Paso, alter a battle with a smuggler captured two Chinamen, who were being smuggled across the border lest night. With his 8-yenr-old son. Graham guarded the ce lestials all night. This morning they were committed to the custody of the officials here. The authorities, although deter mined to break up the practice of whole Hale smupenng of Chinamen, are frequent ly outwitted, and In some instances the celestials have been brought over from Mexico In prairie schooners, the officials thinking they were laden with household goods.
