Tacoma, Wash., M ay 11.— Tho local
fleet committee has made arrangements
for the review o f the 15 battleships in
Tacoma harbor, M ay 27, and the conse­
quent festivities that will make their
stay o f four days in this port the most
memorable in the history of the flee t’s
cruise thus far. Preparations are being
made for the entertainment o f thou­
sands o f people all over the Northwest,
who have made known their intention
o f attending the Tacoma celebration
This will conclude M ay 30 with a me­
morial day parade, having in line thou­
sands o f marines and sailors from the
ships, members of the Grand Army of
the Republic from every post in the
state, with the uniform rank of the fra ­
ternal bodies.
There will be no lack o f entertain­
ment for visitors, who will have a fine
opportunity to view the fleet from the
high bluffs on which the city is built.
Massed bands o f the fleet, with nurner-
our musical organizations o f Tacoma
and the surrounding country, will play
m ilitary airs. These, with the New
York Symphony Orchestra, led by Dam-
rosch, in a four-day engagement, will
give Tacoma the greatest assemblage
o f musicians ever got together in any
city ia Washington. In addition, there
will be athletic contests, boat races
between the crews o f the various battlo-
ships, a grand illumination parade o f
the harbor craft, nightly illumination
o f the warships and Japanese fireworks.
Shreveport, La., M ay 14.— Seven per­
sons are known to be »lead and many
others are injured as the result o f a
tornado which swept across Northwest
Louisiana late yesterday. The little
town o f Gillian», 25 miles north of
Shreveport, was destroyed and the town
o f Bolinger, on the east side o f the
river, iu Bossier parish, was badly
wrecked.
Communication with the greater por­
