Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Fort Mownor, Va., April 21.—This has been a gala day here. The most interesting of all the arrivals among vessels Hampton Roads came in this morning. A little after 9 o'clock the Spanish fleet sighted on the horizon and before 11 o'clock they had dropped anchor in the roads, Among the Spaniards were the three caravels, the counterparts of those remarkable little ‘THE SPANISH CARAVELS. ships that brought Columbus and his hardy band to these shores four hundred years ago.

Then | came the Nueva Espana. with the Nina in tow. | Last in line but not far behind the other two | came the Santa Maria, which was being towed | along by the Reina Kegente. It was a wonderful sight and one never to be forgotten by the crowds who watched the pro- cession from the shore. Every one was out to see the sight and as the curious-looking craft made their way siowly along tie | Tine of the fleet they were greeted with enthusiastic cheering and were given the most yemarkable reception sccorded to any of the foreign ships. ‘They deserved all they secured, for the arrival of the caravels bas been watched for with more interest than anything that has yet transpired in conneetion with the rendez- vous. It wasa perfect day. wanting to complete the beauty or impressive | ess of the scene.

HONORING THE ARRIVALS. Soon the ships of the fleet began firing their salvos in honor of the new arrivals and slmost instantly the water became alive with the smal! boats that had put out from the foreigners to chase after the Spaniards of boarding should come to anchor. almost ridiculously small beside the big men-of- war, ploughed along in the wake of the Isabel and seemed to raise ber head even higher from the water as if she really appreciated all the importance and prominence of the part she was playing in the events of the day. It would be nearly impossible to describe these Columbus caravels so that one could have a mental picture of them. Fortunately every one is more or less familiar with their general appearance from the newspaper cuts that have been printed of them. In general form they are very much alike; they are even smaller than any one here had supposed and all who have seen the caravels this morning have now an increased and wonder for the of centuries ago © to embark in 1 for an unknown country or at best for a known country by an anknown route. That they discovered a new world, they say, was something in the nature of an acci- dent, but all the same Columbus is a bigger man here with the crowds who bave seen bis —— ever was before. The Pinta, the one first to enter the road- stead and consequently the one to attract the most attention at first, stands very high out of the water for her size. Her lofty decks fore and aft, with a low deck be- tween, makes ' her look not unlike a mammoth slipper cut away in the center. She bas three masts, one well forward, another well aft and the third and principel one amidships. At the top of this middle mast is a lookout or crow nest, painied in odd stripes, so that its ap- pearance is something like that of a huge bow] of aztec pottery. One man rently remarked that it looked very much | ig shaving mug; and the gen- eral impression is that these caravels would make an excellent model for a new style Noab’s ark in a child's set of toys. Their sails are much like the lateen rigs that are so common in the waters of the Mediterranean. ‘The arrival of the caravels this morning was all the more welcome in that it had been feared that owing to the rough weather that has prevailed for the past few days their Progress might be so much delayed that they would not bave the time to putin at Hampton — but would have to go on directly to New ‘ork. four LOOKING FOR THE CARAVELS. The first definite news from them received there for some time past came from Washing- ton, where it was reported that they bad been sighted along the horizon and that, unless something unlocked for occurred, they might be expected to reach here either posivhceathedts ane erence! At no time in the history of New York city have there been so many deaths from pneamonia as Bow. The official Sgures show that nearly twice for the last five years. This is something terrible.

Fort Monroe is fall of newspaper men just now, and it would seem as though almost every leading newspaper in the country had its special correspondent here. Some of them have chi tered special tugs and naphtha launches for the week of the rendezvous, and these little news- gatherers go flitting about from ship to ship across the pleasant waters of Hampton Roads, and everywhere they are treated with the ut- most courtesy. As Admiral Gherardi says, real news is pretty scarce now that the majority of ‘the fleet are here and in line, but all that there is is freely given. Asa rule, the officers of the in showing visitors, newspaper men especially, every courtesy while they are on board. "This is true of officers om board foreign ships as well as the ships of the white squadron. every side ono hears only words of praise for the “hospitality that is accorded to every one who takes advantage of the chance to go out on one of the lively little launches to pay « visit to the fleet. ‘The American officers seem at times even to feel that they are doing a wise and profitable work in popularizing the navy. This at least they have succeeded in doing. People who have hitherto taken no interest in the naval resources of the country or have been actualy opposed to it ome warmly interested in een what a realiy good make on an occasion of r. may be said that the Americans In truth it have carried off the honors of the rendezvous. ‘This, too, with all courtesy and consideration for our foreign visitors.

Still, with all proper allowances made, the showing of the new Amer- ican vavy is a most satisfactory and gratifying one. In point of looks, too, the American of- ficers have proved themselves perfectly able to hold their own against all comers,while in point of courtesy and hospitality to the visitors they have lett nothing to be wished for. In an affair like this which comes so near to being a strictly social gathering this isa matter by uo means asinconsiderable as one is at first likely to think. THE VOYAGE OF THE ETNA. The Etna, the flagship of the Italian squad- ron, which came to anchor in the roads yester- day morning, as already stated in ‘Tux Stan, sailed from Spezzia nearly a month ago, On her way here che stopped at Gibraltar, tbe Azores and finally at Bermuda. She had a rather trying passage across the Atlantic, ac- cording to the statements of her officers, and upon her arrival bere she still chowed come signs of ber rough experiences with wind and water. She left the ship yards in February, having gone thither for rearmament, but when she dropped anchor opposite Fort Monroe yesterday her sides looked dull and blistered, and anew cost of paint and much diligent serubbing will be needed before she once more has her customary look of dazzling brilliancy. Her cousort, the Giovanni Bausan, bas been here long enough now to have hada thorough overhauling, and she looks mach the Detter for it, In appearance the Etna is almost the coun- bop oo of her sister ship, though her tonnage is about 400 greater. Both stand high out of water for cruisers of their class and are heavily built up smidships. Ateitber end she is cut away to give play to her great 10-inch stem and stern chasers, which are the principal guns on these most formidable of light tonnage cruisers. ‘The stacks and upper decks of both are painted adult yellow. They are fitted with mi ward and top-heavy in appearance like those of the Jean Bart, but are fairly graceful as substitutes for the attractive sail- bearing masts of an older generation. ‘This Italian flagsbip was built in 1898 and was afterward laid Che’ hile and disarmed When the country which gave Columbus to the world accepted the invitation of this nation to participate in the naval review in honor of the man, desiring to send here one of her repre- hips of the lighter service order, the Etna was taken out of dock at Spezzia and specially fitted for this cruise of international courtesy. Her two ten-inch guns, with those of the Bauson, are the only ones of the size in the fleet, surpassing in caliber those on the Blake by almost an inch and exceeding by two inches the most formidable guns carried by any ebips in the American squadron. The Miantonomab, which is not expected in Hamp- ton Boads, is the only American ship which will be abie to show a gan equal in range and ower to the great fore and aft chasers: of the tna, The two Italian ships lie at anchor almost opposite to the U. 8. 8. Charleston, and this gives uaval critics an excellent opportunity to compare the different styles of vosuels ag car- ried out in the widely separated shipyards of Italy and California. ‘This chance for = com- parison of varying ideas in naval architecture, extending as it does so.as to include all the ships now lying so close together, ia by no means: it interesting and valuable of the many features in connection with this most re- | markable gathering of men-of-war.

They range from the old. style Dutch ship, Van Speyk, down to the Vesuvius, the fleet, one might almost say fin-de-siecle, dynamite cruiser. ‘The opportunity to study, and compare is much better here, where the ships are lying at anchor for such alength of time, than it will be in New York, and naval men and others who are interested in navy matters are not alow to avail themeelves of this unusual chance. VARYING IDEAS OF DISCIPLINE. It is an interesting study to wander around the foreign ships and notice the different ideas of discipline which prevail and which to s great degree is typical of the nations.

As the number of ships in the roadstead in- creases so gtows the number of officera who spend their shore leave at the hotel whispering sweet nothings into the willing ear of the Amer- ican maid. ‘The fo: rs are improving their knowl- edge of the English languago in a most remark- able manner under such favorable tutelage and when they reach New York it will probably be noticed that there is nothing slow about them. Many of them have already learned to whistle “The Bowery” and all the other iatest popular songs of the day. When they go away next Monday they will leave many an extra flutter of the heart behind them. But this will not be for long, for when the fleet leaves the roadstead and many of the younger officers will doubtless beyond measure when they meet = made acquaintances again in New ‘or! One of the first things the foreign officers want to talk about is the great exposition in Chicago, and it is evident from the way they talk tit many of them are planning to spend their shore leave this summer in flying visits to the windy city.
