The original invitations to the mar- itime powers to send vessels to par- ticipate in these great events—tie opening of the Panama canal and the San Francisco exposition—were sent in September last. So far, favor- able responses have been received from twelve countries, viz. Argentine Republic, Austro-Hungary, Cuba, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Portugzl, Russia, Sweden and Spain. 1t is certain that this does 1ot by any means represent the total number of naval participants for it is known that other governments are simply awalting the further develop- ments of plans for these celebrations to signify their intention to partici- pate. Their decision will be hastened by another circular note which the state department has just dispatched to American embassies and legations abroad. This circular asks for a re- ply to three questions: first, the number of ships which the country will send: second, their size, and third, their steaming radius. Much depends upon the answers to these questions. Regarding the first, it is neither expected nor desired that there shall be a wholesale gathering of the navies of the world in Hamp- ton Roads. The idea rather to have a small but representative show- ing from each nation. 1t is expected that the greater naval powers will bhe more numerously represented than the smaller states. Italy already has unofficially signified an intention to send a complete squadron of three fine cruisers under command of an admiral, and it may be that this of- fer will mark the proportion of repre- sentation of the other navies. The specd requirements of the long cruise from Hampton Roads to the Golden Gate will he rather severe, so much so indeed as to bar from participa- tion in the great voyage any of the little gunboats which form the only strength of some of the small states. —The president arrives at co. o is Size of Vessels. The second question, relating to the size of the vessels. the is important as D: g or even triplets through of the Panama canal saving valuable time. Al- £0 it will assist the naval commander of {he international flect in arrang- ing his itinerary by informing him of the probability of the units to meet heavy weather conditions. No less important is the third ques- tion relating to the coal endurance of the vessels: the navy department muct he advised of the maximum dis- tance which each shin can make with full bunkers of enal in order to plan indicating possibility of them in pair: the great loc and therehy 1 i | { It is believed that if the navies rep- resented comprise only modern large- sized ships, it will be possible to make the run of 1,900 miles from Hampton Roads to Colon without stop. In the canal fresh supplies of coal will be taken but even then it may impose a severe strain upon the small vessels to make the run from Balboa to San Francisco, 2,189 miles. and some of them may be obliged to put in for coal at Philadelphia, the American coaling station in Lower California, or to take fuel from col- liers in Magdalena Bay on the west coast of Mexico. Some of the naval vessels of even the larger European powe re very deficient, according to American standards, in this matier of coal endurance, principally because they were designed for home defense and short cruises. Fear Floating Ice. Because floating ice in Chesapeake Bay sometimes makes it impossible for days at a time to take on coal and other supplies, and in order to guard against delay in the execution of the short and crowded program, the foreign -naval vessels have been requested to assemble several days at least in advance of the date of Feb- ruary 10 mentioned in the memor- andum. Their commanding officers with their staffs will be the guests of the TUnited States government as will be the special naval representa- tives invited to attend. The pres- cnce of the latter will relieve the diplomatic body in Washington from the obligation to be present at Hamp- ton Roads, which is fortunate in view of the fact that they are expected to attend the opening ceremonies of the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, now fixed for February 20 without possibility of postponement. The foreign naval contingent will be brought to Washington on a passen- ger steamer especially chartered for the purpose and their stay in the na- tional capital will necessarily be very short as they must be in Hampton Roads again on the anniversary of Washington’s birthday when Pres dent Wilson will review the fleet as it passes through the Chesapeake capes bound for Colon. The day after congress adjourns the president will follow the fleet on one of the great dreadnaughts now under con- struction and expected to be com- plete about that time. It is planned to divide the inter- national fleet into four sections for the passage through the Panama ca- nal and as at least two of the aver- age sized warships can be accom- modated in ithe thousand foot locks at one time, the entire fleet could be locked through in about two days.

Liverpool, Aug. 6.—The living quarters and food to which the Brit- ish merchant sailor is subjected con- stitute a disgrace to civilization, ac- cording to Dr. Herbert Williams, medical officer of the port of London, who spoke at the recaat Sanitary Congress here, “What would be said,” declared Dr. Williams, “if any sanitary authority ashore permitted to be in- habited a house of two rooms built of impervious materials, each lighted by three inches square, and each inhabited by eight men with fourteen square feet of free space available for each man? Furthermore, picture the room heated by a cheap stove, usually broken, with the chimney passing through the only available ventilator. Yet s men live for many weeks under such immovable windows seven conditions. It is an.accepted fgot that men living under unhealthy com- ditions degenerate physically asa morally.” . All other speakers declared the food on merchant ships to be unfit to eat ‘and, with the vile and over- crowded forecastles, self-respeeting men were forced out of the service. The sending of consumptive men to sea with a view to cure also increases the dangers of disease-bremding quarters. Dr. Perrin, Norris, the Australian delegate, proposed to make the ques- tion an international one, as the evil is world-wide, yet the British stand- ard of marine fare, he said, is the lowest of any country. REFUGEFS AT VERA CRUZ, Vera Cruz, Aug., 6.—A great num- ber of refugees arrived here during the night. The greater number are Mexicans but also ma German reservists on their way home.

There are no steamers available to take away the reservists, The only vessel about to leave for Havana and New York is the Monterey, the ac- cemmodations on which have already all been reserved, there are Make Your Steps of Real ALPHA Cement ‘Then you'll never be bothered with irs or painting.
