Altogether the battle- ships Minnesota, Missourl, Missis- sippi and Ohio—the fourth division of the Atlantic fleet—which put out from Key West late yesterday under command of Rear-Admiral Usher, have on board nearly 800 marines, These ships should arrive at Guan- tanamo probably some time to-mor- row. ‘The cruiser Prairie, which already has landed 40 under command of Col. Lae cas, has about 3 more on board. The four battleships of the third division of the Atlantic feet still at Key West, With Rear-Admiral Osterhaus on the flagehip Washington, have nearly 1,000 more marines which could be moved to Cuba in little more than a day if the situation should demand. Roughly, this Places the number of marines tmmedi- ately available at about 1,600 and the reserve force at Key Weat at 1,000.

He was ready then fora fresh attack on him and his prop- erty. He was there, too, with the talk while awaiting new hostilities on the part of “Big Jack” Zelig’s bunch. He wasn’t a bit afraid of an attack; his only fear wi that it wouldn't come off, for the saloon was filled with strong-arm men of Police Headquarters. And though the amateur brigands of the Bowery might shoot wide apart, the strong- arms could be calculated to get one man for every two shots, and the men of the squad shoot rapidly once the circus starts. There wasn't a chance for automobiles to come shooting down the line and get away with it. “Tl tel you," sald “Chick,” “the Papers has got us all wrong. This is no game of politics.
