OFP FOR A CRUISH OF 48 HOURS Tho Movomout Calculated to Limber lip tho Men nnd l'ut Evcryllilnii Aboard or the Ship In Period Itonillneis ior More Serious M'orlc. In it Locality H'hero They Can lio Hunched by Despatch Boats. WnshliiBton, April 13. Despite the utmost precaution of tho navy depart ment it developed Bitot tly before noon today that the Hying squadron had been ordered to move from Hampton Roads. Tho first teports were that the Btiuadron would gall under sealed ordc'tH, going south. Tills was looked upon as the most significant step the navy department has tuken thus far. It occansloned much excitement, nnd uppt eclating that deep slgnlHc-ance was likely to be attached to the move, a quieting anil cnutlonary seml-olll-clal statement wns made tliut the squadron would go out for a practlco erulse of 4S hours. At first Seeietury Long would neither alllrm or deny that tho squadron was about to move, stating that a positive rule had been made not to mention any projected naval movements. There were Inti mations, however, that the movement was not significant as a. prospective war measure and was more In the line of giving the restless olllcers and men of this squadron something to do for a few- days. Ever since Commodore Schley took command of the tquudron, It lias held Itself In rendlne&s to move on short notice, and orders have been anticipated dully. It wns thought about the navy department that it would be n good thing to appease this anxiety of the olllcers and men by giv ing them a little practice work. It will Berve, It Is said, to limber up tho men, nnd put everything aboard ship In perfect readiness tor mure serious work. Moreover, the brief practice cruise probably will take the squadron outside the capes, whete they can be reached easily by a dispatch boat If it becomes evident that they are needed for offensive or defensive purposes at some other point. The Hying squadron Is made up ot the pick ot our naval vessels, In point of speed and effectiveness. It Includes tho armored cruiser Brooklyn, 9,000 tons displacement and twenty guns in the mala battery; protected cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis, 7,300 tons displacement ench nnd eleven guns in their main batteries; battleship Mas sachusetts, 10,200 tons and IB guns In tho main battery; battleship Texas, C.300 tons and 8 guns in the main bat tery. The Brooklyn Is the flagship. The Minneapolis Is the fleetest ship In the American navy, with the Colum bia next In point of speed. The bat tleships are slower, avei aging about in knots, but their heavy armament and guns are another adjunct of effect iveness In the make up of this squad ron. SA0ASTA HAS A MAJORITY.

"Oh, sou think mo beautiful, do you? Thorti Is my sister over there. You will find her more beautiful than I urn. Go and make love to her." On henrlng this tho man went to ree the sister, hut found she was very ugly so he cutne back lu an nngry mood and nsked the lady why sho hud told him a falsehood. She answered: "Why did you tell me n falsehood?" The man was surprised at this ucpusn tlnu and asked when ha had done so. Her answer was: "You said you loved me. If that had been trim you would not have gone to inakp lo 4inhAr vnmnn."
