Correspondence of the Associated Press. MANILA, P. L, April —With the ap- proach of this year's hot weather, which comes to Manila every April, May and June, the vessels of the United Btates navy have been slipping away to the cooler ports of China and Japan. It iIs a mighty pleasant thing to thus get away from the Philippines during the heat of summer and such a change for three months will greatly benefit the whole ship’s company. This consideration of the health-ef his men was a strong factor in deciding Admiral Watson to order several of the ships from this station to spend the summer between Yokohama and Hongkong. It is a pity the army cannot get this change. Persistent work tells on a man out here and we Americans have not yet learned the Oriental habits of slowness in business and naps during the heat of the day. age the American out here does one-half of the work he would do at home under the same circumstances and every one knows it is just twice as hard to ac- complish this half. Army officers can only get this change to the cooler and even cold climate of China and Japan by obtaining ‘sick leave, but it comes, to many of our naval officers Bl ers as a part of e final examinations of the cadets of the Naval Academy class of 1899 will ge held on the Brooklyn this month at Yo- kohama. This is a great disappointment to the cadets; it prevents their return home and in many cases will result in the adding of three years more sea service in the Philippines to the one or two yeags they have already served out here.” The return to Annapolis after the first two years at sea following their departure rom the academy is always a most pleas. | ant incident in the lives of our young naval officers. It is a class reunion in the alma mater after two years of travel and duty in new parts of the world. The life at Annapolis while they are preparing for the final examinations has n it an element of freedom and independ- ence in more or less contrast to their former days there, and as _the examina- tions themselves are not difficult to a man who has not wasted his two years’ ap- prenticeship the return to the academy is unattended by any unpleasant features, but is replete with many most pieasant and enjoyable ones. It also means a visit and friends. All this is denied the class of 189, it being inexpedient to return those who are on this_station to Annapolis for their finals, and they will begin their three years’' cruise following | the final examinations without the chance | of getting home. An Uncharted Harbor. The Baltimore starts home from Yoko- hama and the Yosemite returns to Guam, stopping first one week in Manila. The rest of the fleet, the Oregon, Brookiyn, Newark, New Orleans and Concord, wili then begin a cruise down Japan to China, stopping about ten days at Kobe, Naga- saki, Shanghal and Hongkong. .Other | ports may be visited on this cruise, but | they have not yet been announced. The Baltimore has just completed the circumnavigation of Luzon Island and is now on her way to Hongkong. While on the eastern coast of Luzon the Baltimore made_a careful survey of Casiguran Sound and Bay, which to the navy is a locality of considerable present interest and possible future value. Here our navy has discovered, practically, a splendid and sheltered harbor, where the Spanish charts gave no indication of such a refuge. Tast summer the Wheeling steamed {nto Casiguran Sound and found at its head a well protected and large bay with deep water. The Wheeling’s examination of this new find was cursory only, as she had other dutles to attend to at the time, but the reports of its existence so inter- ested Admiral Watson that he later de- tailed the Charleston to proceed thither and make a careful survey of the place. This the Charleston did, and it was while the ill-fated vessel was returning from this trip that she ran on the rocks near Camaguin Island and was lost. The sur- vey of Casiguran Bay, prepared by her officers, was not saved. So we wers still without details as to Casiguran Ba{y. Be- fore sailing for home Admiral W %Lson wanted this information, so about three weeks ago the Baltimore was sent around Luzon with instructions to examine and report upon the newlé/ discovered harbor. She found the sound to be about nine miles long, from Cape Telefonso on the sea slde into_the narrow passage leading to the inner bay. This sound is from six to two miles broad and has very deep water its entire length. Its general direc- tion is northwesterly from the coast line. The passage into the inner bay is vards wide, with deep water up to the Shores. A ship like the Baltimore could tie up at the shore and reach land with a gangplank. The inner bay is three and two-tenth miles long and two and a half miles wide. Its general depth is fifteen fathoms and the anchorage is all that could be desired. The’surrouhding hills protect the vessels anchored in this bay from any winds that blow, and when one is afloat upon its waters the bay has the appearance of a land-locked lake. And the slightest intimation thaf existe The Spaniards, it 1 uurte({ were very poor chart makers.

Coates, Muncie, Ind., 1332 East W-shington street, writes: “I have just recovered from a very bad case of dys- pepsia and owe my recovery to Peruna. I have been troubled with dyspepsia for five years. Doctors did me little or no good. One bottle of Peruna gave me re- llef, and ‘after using two bottles the dys- pepsia has all disappeared, I can eat and sleep and feel like a new man.” Mr. H. D.

PARIS, May 19.—The unexpected result of the Paris municipal elections, so unfa- vorable to the Government, has thrown France Into a state of poliical uncer- tainty, which the reassembling of the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday will help to clear up. The opening debates will show how the hostile feeling in Paris influenced the position of the Ministry in the pro- ceeding at the Palais Bourbon. Count Boni de Castellane will be one of the first to challenge the Government by calling the attention of the Chamber to the speech of Joseph Reinach, intimating that a pact exists with the Ministry ac- cording to which the Dreyfus affair will be revived after the exposition. After a week's careful investigation by the police, no trace has been found of the alleged abductors of the authoress “Gyp” (Comtesse de Janville) nor of the mysterious chateau in which she asserts she was held a prisoner. There are not lacking persons who are skeptical, espe- cially as “Gyp” admits she is not sure she could recognize the chateau of her abductors. The police have made a num- ber of night excursions in company with “Gyp" over the possible area wherein the chateau might be si tuated.
