PAIL TO MAKE HARBOR
BJho Attacking Fleet Put Out of
Action at 5:40 O'clock Yesterday
Morning The Surrounding and
Putting Out of Action of the Shlp3
in Command of Commander Pills
bury's Squadron One of the Most
Interesting Chapters in the Peace
History of the American Navy.
By E.xclushe Wire from The Associated Press.
Uockport, Mass., Aug. 21. The naval
search problem on the New England
toast was terminated at 5.40 this morn
lug: by signal "Surrender; demand un
conditional" from near Admiral Hig
glnson's flagship and the reply, "Ac
cept surrender" from the truck of the
Prulrle, Commander PHlsbury's flag
Fhlp. The battle between the Blue, or
defending pquadron, nnd the 'White, or
attacking squadron, was thus quickly
ended, eight miles south of Thatcher's
Island. The enemy had most signally
Jelled to make a harbor, having for its
objective point, Salem. A preponder
ance of fighting strength, relatively 61
points, represented by the battleships
Kearsarge, Alabama and Massachu
setts, Scorpion and a torpedo boat, had
overwhelmed the 45 points, represented
by the auxiliary cruisers Prairie, Pan
ther and Supply. To speak from a
theoretical standpoint. the "White
squadron was entirely destroyed by the
guns of the defending battleships.
Thus, on the fourth night, the game of
naval strategy was brought to and end,
It having covered a period of unceasing
toll, sleepless nights, of anxious and
wearying vigil and of grave uncer
tainty to Its participants.
The destruction of PHlsbury's squad
ron occurred at 5.40 this morning, at a
point just within tlie outer limit of
Gloucester harbor,, not. over eight miles
south from Thatcher's Island, off yhlch
had been anchored since Wednesday,
when the war game was declared
opened, the three powerful battleships
ot the Blue squadron.
The Culminating Incident.
The surrounding and "putting out of
action" of the squadron In command of
Commander Pillsbury was the culmin
ating incident In one of the most In
teresting chapters In the peace history
of the American navy. For the placing
in operation of the manoeuvres of the
warships off the coast of New England,
the navy had long prepared Itself and
had long looked forward to them with
keen anticipation. As planned by the
naval authorities at Washington, two
equndrous were to be put Into the
game, one the Blue, the defending fleet,
and the other the White, to be a hostile
lleet, bent upon effecting an anchor
age In some unprotected harbor on tho
coast from Cape Kllzabeth to Cape
Cod, opposed all tho time by tho llrsl
nnmed licet. This anchorage had to
be maintained against the defenders for
a period of six houis. Commander
PHlsbury's White squadron consisted of
nuxlllary cruisers Prairie (flagship).
Panther and Supply. Tho two former
boats were each assigned twenty points
of lighting strength, while the Supply
was assumed to represent five points.
Admiral Hlgglnson's licet was actually
miperlor In the number of Its members,
nnd by the same arrangements made
as to tho Pillsbury ships, it represented
n grand total of ft" points of strength.
The Kearsarge, iho Alabama and the
Massachusetts, battleships, wore given
twenty, tho cruisers Brooklyn and
Olymplu eight each, tho Cincinnati and
Montgomery, Gloucester, Mayllower
and Scorpion three points each, while
n number of torpedo bo.its made up tho
remaining numbers. To win In the
mimic war, the Blue squadron had to
bring against the attacking vessels, as
it did early today, warships superior In
their comblne.l assumed lighting
strength. Kaeh side had tho right to
capturo Individual craft of tho other
fleet by overcoming them In point of
strength, and, under tho rules of tho
game, tho captured vessels were to re
tire altogether from the Held of action.
Effective Signal Service.
Rockport, Mass., Aug. 21, To an As
sociated Press correspondent, Admiral
lllgglnson spoke very freely of tho
signal service. Ho laid special empha
sis upon tho effective work of the men
detailed to signal duty and said ho In
tended to Issue a commendatory letter
to all of the mcntof his command, He
scored the- telephone aervlec, and said
It appeared very antiquated, Tho ad
miral emphasized tho necessity of tho
wireless telegraphy, and Illustrated tho
benefit If ships of the navy were fitted
with this new Invention. "There would
have been no need of tho torpedo
scouts," ho said, "for In, would havo
known at all times thu exha location
of my ships,
"We need this service badly, We are
three years behind our foreign friends,
In this leaped, and I hopo the system
'll bo Installed on the ships of the
navy very soon,"
Commander Pillsbury was asked re
piinllng hla movements, and stated
when hrt left Provlncetown last Tues
day IiIb fleet steamed directly (o sea,
running off some 400 mlleu about south
east of Cape Cod. His plan was to lay
off there until Saturday night and then
to try for Salem harbor. Coming on
Hie coast last night ho had first thought
.r
of making a feint with one of his ships
In the direction of Portland, hoping to
draw off Admiral lllgglnson and the
big ships of his command In that direc
tion, but as a heavy sea was running
and ns his ships were slow of speed
and their bottoms foul, he decided not
to do this and made hla run direct for
Satcm harbor.
The only ship of Admiral Illgginson's
fleet ho saw during the entire period
was the torpedo boat Harney, which ho
slghtod just about the same time ho
found he was discovered by the sharp
eyed Staehlc of the Kearsarge.
The Official Information.
Washington, Aug. 24. Prompt In
formation of Commander PHlsbury's
defeat In his attempt" to enter Salem
harbor and hold It against the ships
of Admiral Higglnson's licet came to
the navy department this morning In
the following despatch from the com
mander of the attacking lleet:
Gloucester, Mass., Aug. 24, 100
"White squadron surrendered to blue at
daylight this morning while entering S'l
lem harbor.
The Panther and the Supply havo been
ordered to proceed In obedience to the
department's Instructions. The Prairie
goes to Boston tomoirow for repairs.
(Signed) Pillsbury.
The White's defeat has been antici
pated here by naval officers. They be
lieved he was handicapped by the
limited speed capacity of the defending
squardron's small ships and the few
ports that It could enter under the rules.

HANNA ABANDONS HOPE.
Ho Considers the Refusal of Opera
tors to Arbitrate to Be Final.
No Chanco of Settlement.
By Kti'liKhe Wire from The Associated Press.
Buffalo, Aug. 21. United Slates Sen
ator Marcus A. Hanna arrived In Buf
falo today from Niagara Falls. He was
accompanied by his daughter. Miss
Ruth Hanna and her friend Miss Phelps
of Cleveland. They were on their way
home to Cleveland from Niagara Falls.
After a drive around the city they re
turned to Cleveland tonight on the
boat.
For the first time Senator Hanna
stated tho abondonment finally of all
efforts to end tho coal strike. He said
It sorrowfully, for he believes the oper
ators should meet the miners In ar
bitration. "1 have exhausted my efforts, " said
Senator Hannn. "I have done all In
my power and can do no more. I will
make no further attempt, for It would
be useless."
He said there was no chance of ar
bitration so long as only one side, the
miners, were willing to arbitrate. He
gave it lis his .opinion that the miners
will not give in so long as they are able
to fight.
"It will not be a short fight," said he.
"it will be prolonged, and such prolong
ation will mean not only hardships
for the miners and the women and
children dependent on them, but It will
have Its effect on the American people.
The longer this struggle continues the
greater will be the lne:-ense In the price
of coal."
He said he considered the refusal of
the operators a final. I talked with
Mr. Morgan before he went to Europe,
continued the senator, "and before the
strike wa? fully under way. He deplor
ed the suatlon, but would take no
active p.n v toward a settlement. His
attlude In thy opinion Is unchanged."
It was evident In every sentence of
Senator Hanna's talk that his sym
pathies are with the miners, that he
has given up hope of a peaceful set
tlement and views with sorrow the
prolongation of the strike to the end
that seems Inevitable.

Tho non-execution by the Turkish

not discuss other mutters until the
terms of the settlements already agreed
upon hud been carried out. The de
mands made by the United States in

Good Officials.
By i:clusie Wire from The Associated Press.
Manila, Aug. 24. The defense in the
Freedom sedition case has called Gov
ernor Taft as a witness to show that
many -former Insurgents leaders who
were guilty of various offences not
recognized by the laws of war have
been appointed to civil positions. Gov
ernor Taft gave testimony to the effect
that many such former insurgents had
been nppolnted, but that they had
proved honest, straightforward and
earnest. He said that some of them
had been guilty of murder from Ameri
can standards, but that from their own
standpoint they undoubtedly believed
their conduct of the war to have been
legitimate. Governor Taft said that
lie found these appointees to be loyal
and that they were not chosen because
they happened to be Insurgent generals,
but because they were men of Inlluence
among their own people. He said the
experinece of the civil authorities with
these men had been most satisfactory.
Govenor Taft has resumed the gover

the Chanler villa, where the ceremony
of christening the baby was performed

church in the presence of the president
who acted as God father, Senator nnd
Mrs. Lodge, the latter acting as God
mother, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and a
large number of the personal friends
of ;the -family. ,
The affair was regarded as one of tho
most auspicious events of the season
at that fashionable resort, due not only
to the social prominence of the Chanlers
but to the fact that thepresldent of the
United States would'nct as God father
to the child, and that the child was
named after the president.
Traveling on Sunday was something
new for the president, but In this In
stance he was obliged to depart from
his usual custom, as he went to New

tend the christening and it was neces
sary to make the short journey to
Nahant today In order to maintain his
schedule.
