"I'kack first, tbeu, with charity for
all, a govern tueut of law and order uu
der the Stars aud Hlripes." These are
the President's wordi on the future of
the Philippines, aud nine-tenths of bin
countrymen agree with birn.
Mil. IJkvaX says he was defeated ly
foreign-boru voters in l'.Hi. He is uot
wihe in trying to olnwure the fact that
he was beaten by American citizens,
each with an etjual vote. The disci
pline will be refuted next year.
If li to 1 is to lie abandoned by the
Democrats, the question of ratio will
be a dillicult oue for that party. A Ak.
or !4i doHar is no better morally than a
4-ie dollar. The lmc dollar is the only
one that suits the American people, or
that can look the world in the face.
lii'.rrisH troops are h aving Gibraltar
for South Africa, a sullieient evidence
that diplomatic efforts have had no
definite result It seems that England
has made up its mind to come to a final
understanding with the Um-rs, and the
curtain may soon rise upou another i:u
portant war.
The Harrisburg Telegraph thinks
the secret dossier between the Insur
gents aud the Democrats w ill never be
made known. Senator Flinn threw it
in the tire w hen he seconded the mo
tion to make Lieutenant-Colonel Har
nett's nomination for State Treasurer,
by the Republican State Convention,
unanimous.
IiEKics county Ik-publicans are the
first in the Slate to elect a delegate to
next years National Convention. At
their County Convention h- Id Friday
ttiey elected J. i. U-inbsch. and in
Ktructed him to vote for McKinley's re
nomiuatiou. They also passed a reso
lution indorsing (Jjverucr Stone's ac
tion in appointing Senator Quav United
States Senator after the failure of the
Legislature to elect.
The election will be held this Year
n Tuesday, November 7. The law re
quires ttiat all citizen should be regis
tered sixty days aud have their taxes
paid thirty days before that date in

Therefore voters must be registered not
laier than Septemlier 7 and pay their
taxes on or before Octot.tr 7, the S;h

examine the registration list and see

All the summaries of the world'
crop conditions made by foreign ex
perts show that Europe's ernia vield
will 1 below the average, and that of
tue uuiteu btalea above the average.
This eoudition of things is reflected al
ready in the heavy exportation of food
products from this country. A good
market w ill be offered in the Old World
for the surplus food of the United
Slates. The American farmer is a
fharer in a very emphatic degree iu
the Republican prosperity.
General Bixknek is probably cr
rect in his declaration that the honest
money Democrats will never "consent
to be merged with the motley support
ers of that mosaic Populism, anarchy
and public dishonor known as the Chi
cago platform of Is.;." Apparently
the breach is still wide between the two
sections of the Democracy. Possibly
the representatives of the old Democ
racy, that of Jefferson. Jackson. Ben
ton, Cleveland and Carlisle, may not
be quite so potent now as they were in
when they were supporting Pal
mer and Buckuer, but they comprise
all of the Democratic party of to-day
which is entitled to respect. As the
Bryanites seem doomed to the folly of
repealing in PiOO that silver and anar
chist outbreak of Is';, most of the old
Democracy will be likely to vote the
straight Icpubhcan ticket next year.
The speech made by President Mc
Kinley to the Tenth Pennsylvania Reg
iment at Pittsburg last week contains
much important matter. That it is pa
triotic and appreciative Leeds hardly to
be said. But the President states im
pressively some historical facts connect
ed w ith the conspiracy of Aguiualdo
aud the noble efforts of American sol
diers to defeat it. In addi:in to the
volunteers entitled to discharge when
the treaty was ratified were 1,000 regu
lars who had the same claim to be mus
tered out in ApriL The main cam
paigns in Luzon have been carried
through by men whose terms had ex
pired. The President's tribute to them
is richly earned. In the speech, which
deserves the most careful reading, the
President's purpose for the future is
firmly outlined. He speaks of a vig
orous prosecution of the war in behalf
of "a government under the undisputed
sovereignty of the United States a
government which will do justice to
alL:" Another point touched on is the
Americas military forbearance wh n
the treaty was pending, and the rea
sons for it. The address is one of the
best aud most Dotable ever delivered
by President McKinley. It will be
found In full on the first page of this
Issue.
Democratic papers praise the rules
devised for the Hons by Mr. Reed.
They were of a different opinion once.
In the course of time they will be en
thusiastic over the results of expansion.
The daily papers aunouuee that the
leading Insurgents of the State will
bold a meeting the latter part of this
week to consider the advisability of
nominating an independent State tick
et, or fusing with the Democrats. Some
of the Insurgents favor putting up
ticket of their own, with J. Hay Brown
for the Supreme Court Bettar for the
Superior Court, and Creaky, the Demo
cratic nominee, for State Treasurer,
while others favor asking the Demo
crats to withdraw Riley, their candt
date for Superior Court, and substitute
Beeber, thus making the fusion ticket
Mestrezat, Beeber arid Creasy. Among
those invited to participate in the meet
ing are Senators Martin, Flinn aud
Henry; Representatives Rendall and
Kooutz; aud Messrs. John Wanama
ker and E. A, Van Valkenbnrg. What
a brilliant galaxy of Republican reform
ers! (?) Iet them put up an iudepend
ent ticket, by all mean. The people
who gave this freelooting aggregation
such a complete trouncing at the recent
Republican primaries are fully capable
of repeating the dose to them and their
Democratic allies this fall.
AfKofos of the new rules adopted
by the recent Republican State (Jon veu
tion, the Altoona Tribune pertinently
remarks: "One of the wisest things
d Jne by the Republican State Conven
tion at ils recent session, one that ought
to have been done long ago, and that
will meet with almost universal ap
proval from the rank and file, was the
adoption of a new rule by means of
which the deadlock, w ith all its embar
rassments, exasperations, expensive de
lays and other circumstances well cal
culated to itjure any parti', 's P"t uu"
der control. The Tribune hasfir years
begged the wililical 1-aders in this sen
atorial and congressional district to get
together aud make an eud of the dead
locks, of which we have had our full
share, but for some reason they have
never responded with any enthusiasm,
It is a great satisfaction to know that
what the local magnates failed to do
the Stale Convention has finally un
dertaken and settled. To be sure, the
new rule may not be an ideal oue, and
it has already provoked considerable
criticism. The critics, however, are.
without exception, either Democratic
organs, or Independent publications,
with a decided leaning toward Democ
racy, or Republican journals that for
the past few years have been busily en
gaged in aiding the Democrats. The
new rule will please tle common peo
ple because it will forever prevent any
sharp gentlemen orgaui.ing a 'corner'
in either senatorial or congressional
nominations. One can readily see why
some individuals are so indignant; but
the great body of the party are well
pleased."
A GARRETT COBSTERFEITEK.
Pleaded Guilty and Aiked to Be Puniihed
At Once.
Cyrus F. Miller, who was arrested on
Monday of last week by federal officers
on a charge of counterfeiting, at his borne
in tJarrelt, pleaded guilty on being ar
raigned before United Slates Commis
sioner Liudsey in Pittxburg on Wednes
day and nuked that he might be iinmedi
Hlely sentenced in order that his punish
inent would be over as soon as possible.
He will lie taken to Williamsport this
week, where the United States District
Court neeb.
Miller is twenty-nine years old, and
has a wife and two daughters living in a
comfortable borne in tiarretu He is a
miner by occupation, is industrious, aud
always sustained a good reputation i" tbe
town iu which he lived. Several weeks
ago the shopkeepers of (iarrett, and par
ticularly tbe farmers in the immediate
neighborhood, complained that counter
feit coin was being imposed upon them,
and the (Government was asked for pro
tection. I just Friday Secret Service
Agents W. J. Flynn and Thomas F. Ber
riman, of Pittsburg, were ordered to fer
rtt out the counterfeiter and bring him to
justice. They started at once for Garrett,
registered at the only hotel, and incident
ally mentioned to tbe landlord that they
were after coal land in the vicinity, and
were w illing to pay a good price. In a
short time tit" hotel was filled with farm
ers who had all sorts of coal land to sell.
From them the detectives soon learned all
they knew about the counterfeit money,
which was enough to fasten suspicion.
Sunday they visited tbe Miller home,
but learned that Miller, with a good team.
had started an hour before into the moun
tains to buy honey. The agents went iu
hot pursuit. They overtook Miller, and.
without any preliminaries, placed him
under arrenL They searched him aud
found ten pieces of counterfeit coin, which
Miller explained a sharper had given him
in change for a $. hill at a circus a few
days before.
Tbe olticers took their man back to his
home aud made a search of the premises.
In an outhouse they found two very crude
molds. Each consisted of two pieces of
hoard fastened together like an old-fashioned
lemon squeezer, and on the inner
end w as a mold made of planter Paris.
The coin turned off by this outfit is said
to have been of the crudest kind, hut
Miller bad managed to deceive Garrett
people and the farme.s in the vicinity
witb iL The whole amount captured
would not reach but the miner had
evidently been emboldened by his suc
ceNs, as he hat! just received another sup
ply of mend.
A very affecting scene occurred when
the detectives took Miller away from
home, his family evidently loving hira
devotedly. The prisoner was much bro
ken up, declaring that it was hi fi'st of
fense, aud woold be his last. He pleaded
that he might receive his punishment as
soon as possible, so that he could get back
to his family.

EIGKIEICAHT POLITICAL MOVES.
Tbe unknown sage who, after spending
a season in this place, wrote, "Somerset
has more politics to tbe square inch than
any other county in Pennsylvania," had
perhaps a nicer discernment than many
local statesmen are willing to admit.
It is not impossible that the keen
sighted observer had noticed I hat the
suioko of iHjlilical battle rarely lises
aUive our fertile aud productive hills,
aud that the opposing forces hardly com
plete one campaign nntil bullets are
being molded fur tbe next one. He may
have beheld those wearing tbe victor's
wreath throwing themselves Vto tbe
vortex of political strife long before tbe
actual sound of the musketry is heard,
apparently apprehensive that the laurels
they have worn will be wrested from
them unless they exercise eternal vigi
lance, keep their lines well entrenched
and their cohorts thoroughly drilled. He
may have noticed, too, that promises are
sometimes made only to be broken when
the crucial test comes, and that pledges
voluntarily given are ruthlessly pushed
aside to make room for soft words and
the "glad hand."
Tbe insurgents, aping tbe example set
by their brethren iu Mani'a before the
outbreak in Luzon, have been masquer
ading as "ainicos," friends of tbe Repub
lican party, ever since the last primary,
w ben they were given such a stinging re
buke as has rarely been administered to
men claiming to represent the honest
sentiment of a constituency such as
Somersot county. Tboir discredited and
repudiated barkers are kept on the firing-
line telling the people how they are going
In purify (T) save the mark, the Republi
can party, if only our present Represent
atives are returned to Harrisburg for an
other term, where they will in all human
prot ability ie again mere balls of putty
in the bands of the city ringmasters of
Pittsburg and Philadelphia, Boms Flinn
and lloss Martin, and form a side show
to the Democratic circus. But tbe "exec
utive committee," it appears, are not to be
trusted to attend to all the details; they
are not proficient in the art of hand-shaking
and paying sweet compliments to the
unsophisticated yeomanry, and, perforce,
General Aguinaldo and his legal satellites
have found it necessary to make their ap
pea ranee at sundry Sunday-school Pic-
ni-s. Soldiers' Reunions, Baud Carnivals,
and tbe like, w here the plain people con
gregate for a few hours' social recreation
aud innocent pleasure, without thought
of matters of Stat or the political ad
vancement of "Tom," "Dick" or "Harry."
The patron saint of the insurgents,
John- Wanamaker, of New York and
Philadelphia, is reputed to devote more
or less of his lime, w ben not engaged in
piling up millions at his vast mercantile
establishments or scheming to break into
the United States Senate, to Sunday
school work, aud it may be at his sugges
tion that local followers of the insurgent
Hag, who perhaps might find the mourn
er,' bench a more fining place for their
oratory, bave undertaken to do w hat is
sometimes irreverently called "the
Sunday school racket." It is claimed
that the truly good insurgent can subsist
on a bowl of cooked rice per day, and
that he will become fat and sleek on
diet of rice and mature eggs ; therefore
it cannot be that the Somerset insurgents
find it necessary to attend Sunday-school
picnics at distant points for tbe mere
purpose of dining on young chicken,
fruit pies and other delicacies for which
our county is noted. A more reasonable
solution of their hitherto unheard-of per
formance is that they are using these
religious and social functions as a means
of ingratiating themselves into the good
will of tbe unsuspecting farmers and
young voters.
In all of the outdoor addresses made by
the insurgents during this glorious sea
son where the people have gathered to
celebrate tbe bounteous harvest that
Providence has kindly seut to us, we
have failed to hear a single word in re
gard to legislation or contemplated legis
lative action. No me- tion has escaped
tbe lips of tbe eloquent insurgent orators,
or the lips of tbe learned Blackstonian
satellites, in regard to the "county salary
bill," which was permitted to die a ling
ering death for lack of attention ; the bill
proposing to make distillers retailers of
liquor w ithout the necessity of securing
a license from the Court; the seven
months school bill, which was rushed
through tbe legislature without a protest
from our senior member; the Granger,
or Creasy tax bill, which proposed mak
ing railroads aud other corporations pay
a just share toward maintaining tbe State
government, which was killed by the
creatures of the corporations; nor have
we heard a word in regard to convening
tbe legislature, although only a short
time since our insurgent friends assured
us that the Governor would be man
damused to perform his censtitutiona
duties, among which was tbe reconven
ing of that body.
But tbe picnic season is on the wane.
and time still remains for tbe people of
Somerset county to thoroughly discuss
political matters before next spring.
Meanwhile the insurgents will be over
whelmed in Luzon, and unless J miss
my guess their imitators here at home
will he crushed when tbe time comes.
It is best, however, to always "look
leedle oud" when insurgent oralois make
their appearance at rural gatherings.

Pension Beport.
Washixotox, August 31. The report
of tbe Commissioner of Pensions for the
year ending June 30, I.S!0, was made pub
lic to-day. Among other things it shows
that tbe total number of pensioners on
tbe rolls at the close of the year from
Pennsylvania was HM,fM, and the amount
paid them was 112,470,7'j.ill. Ohio had
100,027 pensioners on tbe rolls and there
were paid them f 15,4iC,006 .90, while West
Virginia bad lXOoT pensioners on. the
rolls, at an expen-e of f773,l7 48. Ohio
leads in tbe number of pensioners and
amount paid, with Pennsylvania second.
Iu speaking or the veterans or tbe war
with Spain, Commissioner Kvans has this
to say :
" "The States of Pennsylvania and New
York have each two agencies for tbe pay
ment of pensions. I have directed that
all pensioners on account of service in
this war residing in Pennsylvania be paid
at the Philadelphia agency, and those re
siding in New York at tbe New York
agency, for the reason that some time in
tbe futuie tbe agencies will be consolid
ated, and the payments in each of these
States will then be made by the one
agency."
This means that Commissioner Evans
intends to abolish tbe Pittabu rg agency.
President Cleveland once recommended
this when he was in office.
Tbe report also shows that there is a
surviving daughter of a veteran of the
Revolutionary War in Pennsylvania in
the person of Sarah C. Uurlbut, who
lives iu Little Marsh. She is eighty-one
years of age.
The report shows that tbe pension roll
is made up of 753,151 surviving soldiers
and 27,415 widows or dependent relatives,
and 0."kJ army nurses. To tbeui last year
w as paid f l-'il,C17,901, being 9H9.4!; more
than ever before.

POLITICIANS MUST
GO TO THE REAR.
So Say the Enthusiastic Young
Soldiers Who Want to Run
Barnett's Campaign.
Want Pennsylvania to Give the Lieatenant
Colonel of the "Fighting" Tenth as Great
a Greeting ai New York Git the Koose-
velt's Campaigners.
(Spvclal Correspondence.)
Harrisburg, Sept. 5. If the enthusi
astlc young soldiers of the Spanlsh-
Anierican war and the Filipino in
surrection are to have their way tha
old time politicians must step to the
rear and let them run the Republican
campaign in Pennsylvania this fall.
Tbe nomination of Lieutenant Colonel
James E. Barnett. of the "fighting"
lentn Pennsylvania regiment, seems
to have stirred up a wonderful Interest
in his candidacy among the young
Pennsylvanians who so promptly and
gallantly responded to President Mc
Kinley's call for volunteers in the re
cent national crisis. Early evidence of
this was shown by the large number of
these soldiers who were in attendance
here at the Republican state conven
tion advocating Harnett's nomination
Since the boys of the Tenth reached
home, with the people turning out by
hundreds of thousands to receive them
with demonstrations of joy and gratl
tude, such as was possibly never wit
nessed anywhere before, the personal
ity of Barnett has been impressed Upon
his fellow citizens in a remarkable
manner. He has won the hearts of
the soldiers of his native state, both
the old and the young, and has en
listed in his cause thousands of ardent
supporters, many of whom know or care
little about politics, but who are
prompted by feelings of patriotic pride
in the career of this brave young of
ficer, whose honors won in the Phil
ippines but foreshadow those to come.
M KINLEYS SPLENDID TRIBUTE.
President McKinley's magnificent
speech of welcome at Pittsburg to the
returning heroes from the Orient has
gone ringing around the globe and has
attracted international commendation
of the sturdy American policy which
he therein proclaimed. The words of
the president, which were most keenly
appreciated by the returning soldiers
and their parents and wives and chil
dren, were those framing the grand
tribute paid to the members of the
regiment for the self sacrificing loyalty
to their country and devotion to the
flag. The reading of what he desig
nated as "the roll of honor," the names
of theViefCuteer regiments which re
mained In the Philippines fighting the
insurgents long after the period of
their enlistment had expired, evoked
tremendous applause from the people
when the president named "the Tenth
Pennsylvania volunteers." A fitting
climax In thU memorable speech was
President McKinley's announcement
that he would recommend that "a
medal of honor" be granted by con
gress to each of the men w ho had thus
earned the lasting gratitude of their
fellow countrymen.
it is manifest that in the coming
political campaign in Pennsylvania the
people, irrespective of their usual po
litical affiliations, are going to ex
press their appreciation of the patriot
ism of the men who went to the front
on the recent call to arms, by rolling
up an immense vote for Lieutenant
Colonel Barnett.
BARNETT CORDIALLY RECEIVED
Throughout the various receptions
tendered the "Fighting Tenth" in the
towns of western Pennsylvania Bar
nett was an object of special interest,
and he was received with most cordial
and demonstrative greetings. On Sat
urday evening last he accepted an In
vitation to attend a reception given by
the America's club, of Pittsburg, the
leading Republican organization in
this state west of the Alleghcnics, and
he was given a great ovation. Bar
nett made no allusion to politics, but
gave an interesting account of tha
operations of his regiment In Luzon,
and told of the many gallant and con
spicuous acts of bravery of the boys
of the Tenth in defending their colors
and in driving back both the Spaniards
and the Filipinos. He did not neglect
to pay a touching tribute to the mem
ory of the late Colonei Hawkins, whom
he said every man in the regiment re
spected and loved. The devotion cf
Barnett to his old commander, whose
remains he reverently followed to the
grave at Washington last week, and
his unfailing practice to bestow upon
him all the glory of the commanding
officer, cannot but merit the admira
tion of every loyal citizen.
SOLDIERS TAKE A HAND.
Modest as bo is brave, Barnett has
made many friends since his return
home, and when he is called upon to
visit county after county in the com
ing can vans he will be assured of gen
erous reception. As alreidy indicated
he may have troubles of his own before
many days, however, owing to the de
termination of his admirers among the
soldiers to take hold of bis campaign.
The want him to accept a t.pecial es
cort of their owa and journey through
the state under their direction. They
lire proposing the organization of re
ception committees for every stopping
place through which the young sol
diers acting as a guard of honor to
veterans or the rebellion shall intro
duce him to their fellow townsmen.
They demand that the keynote of the
campaign shall be "patriotism and the
support of the president." They insist
that the oratory and the orators shall
represent this idea and that the old
time political campaign spellbinders
shall be made conspicuous by their ab
sence from the front. They point to
the fact that Roosevelt, with his escort
of Rough Riders, waa accorded an
ovation as he traveled through New
York in his gubernatorial campaign,
and they assert that Pennsylvarians
will not yield the palm to the citizens
of the Empire state in recognition of
the valiant services of one of her brave
sons.
The patriotic demonstrations wit
nessed In Pittsburg will he repeated
in every section ofhls old Keyston-5
commonwealth. Philadelphia Is al
ready forming a "Barnett battalion"
of soldiers that volunteered in tbe
Spanish-American war, who will give
the young officer of the "fighting"
Tenth a rousing reception when he
reaches the Quaker City. It is propos
ed to have an organization of this
character formed in each senatorial
district in the state. Captain Lamont.
of the Third Pennsylvania volunteers.
who is at the head of the Barnett bat
talion of Philadelphia, Is soliciting
correspondence with soldiers through
out the commonwealth with a view to
forming these distinct organizations.
If these soldiers keep on tbe chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee will have little to do in the cam
paign this fall.

A FAMOUS CONVICT.
"Snakes" Wilson Will Sooa be Beleurd
from Kiverside.
WAS SIM CP FOB tOOTI5G Mi D0WEIL S
JEWELRY ST0EE.
One of the most notorious and desper
ate criminals known in the United SUtes
George Wilson, alias Anderson, alias
'Snake" will be released from the peni
tentiary this month. "Snake" is reput
ed by criminologists throughout the coun
try to be tbe most unique and successful
crook ever captured. Tbe "Snake' a"
criminal record, however, is outrivaled,
says I lie Pittsburg Commercial Gawtte,
by his prison career, during which he
had a terrible existence and took great
delight in terrorising his fellow convicts.
"Snake" Wilon is a mystery in every
respect. Years before be was arrested
he kept the police guessing in almtmt
every latge city In the country, aud when
captured, and after almost 20 years in
prison, his strange disposition has nevir
been solved. Wilson, during tbe past 20
years, has been tormented wilh tho fright
ful delusion that be is being pursued and
tortured by snakes and demons. He is
periodically seized with these delusions,
which last for sometimes three or finir
days. Physicians and experts on insan
ity are unable to fathom the cause of
Wilson's peculiar form of epilepsy. He
has been seut to the insane asylum at
Dixmont, but his violeut conduct was
uncontrollable aud the authorities were
compelled to transfer him to prison.
Wilson, although 65 years of ago, has the
appearance of a man 20 years his junior.
Since be was incarcerated in Riverside
eight years ago, most of his time was
spent in his cell, owing to his violent
and sometimes treacherous condition.
There Is much uncertainty about Wilson
being insane.
Three years ago Wilson became so vio
lent that the officers at the peuitentiary
could scarcely keep him under control.
Periodically he was seized with his hor
rible delusion. He imagined that snakes,
sea serpents aud everything hideous were
constantly squirming about him. These
hysterical periods occu red frequently and
generally lasted aliout two days, but
ofleu longer. Wilson was removed to
Dixmont, but tbe physicians at that in
stitution attributed Wilson's condition
to his ugly temper. He was placed in s
cell, but as long as he remained there he
refused to partake of any food. The
officials permitted bim for a time to enjoy
the freedom of the convalescent patients,
but Wilson was conntaiitly making troub
le. He was then transferred to tbe peni
tentiary and there has been no chaugo in
his eoudition since be was brought back.
Wilson will complete his second term
in the Western penitentiary on Septem
ber 10. He was sentenced both times for
burglary. Eighteen years ago the
"Snake" was the most "wanted" man in
tbe United Stales and Canada. All the
burglary, highway robbery and safe
cracking jol that were successful were
blamed on "Snake," who always manag
ed to evade the police, until in 1M, w hen
he was caught plundering a jewelry store
in Somerset.
Wilson hail a small fortune in dia
monds, watches, etc., gathered carefully
in a bsg, and had everything in r adiness
to i f -t when bis delusion seized hiir.
The police rushed iuto the place and trok
bim to tbe lockup. For this burglary
he as sentenced to the "peu" for five
years.
Wilson, unlike tbe rest of crooks, had
no pal. He operated single-hauded, this
being the reason w by he was so success
ful and so difficult to capture. His last
series of burglaries and robberies, for
which he is serving the present term of
eight years, were the cleverest ever per
petrated in this community.
Money for the New Havy.
Washinuton, D. C, August 31. Inti
mate submitted to -tbe Secretary of tbe
Navy for the requirement of tbe naval
service next fiscal year show in general
a considerable increase all along the line,
owing to the ra id development of the
uavy, tbe unprecedented amount of naval
shipbuilding now in progress and the
enlarged demands growing out of tbe
war and the acquisition of new teriltory.
The largest item is flS.OtHi.OOO, under
the head of "increase of the navy,"
which is ?.),0o0,0ixl more than any previous
estimate under this head. It is due to
the unusual number of war ships now in
course of construction, aggregating 54 in
all classes, a total much in excess of the
number under construction at any pre
vious lime in the history of the navy.
These iuclude 11 battleships, four moni
tors, three armored cruisers, six protect
ed cruisers, $1 destroyers and torpedo
boats, and several miscellaneous craft.
submarine boats, etc.
