""Vanish! ngr Fleets." a story of "what i&fvsiit nave happened." opens In Wash­ ington with the United States and Japan on the verge of war, Guy HUlier, sec­ retary of the British embassy, and Miss Norma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor Roberts, are introduced as lovers. The government is much criticised because CHAPTER E--Continued. ^-h,t"Listen," he commanded, 'again toward her. "There is some­ thing which makes me think you love me. I shall ask nothingmore of your father, or of your plans, because I , want to make you see the position." He frowned at the waiter, who came toward them and then retreated. "Norm," he went on, "there is to be war. Your country it unprepared. It will be overrun by an enemy that is * ruthless and that will come to con­ quer. The end may not be defeat; but as certain as death this country will writhe and suffer before it can regain the ground it will lose in the outset. Can't you see that? Can't you understand what it will be for you and your father here under such conditions? Don't you know that for your very safety you must leave? As my wife, or even my betrothed, I, can make the way so much easier for you! Give me the right, dear, give me the right! "it }s impossible," she replied, turn­ ing toward him again; and he looked hurt. *'It Is the very danger of* war that makes it so. You don't know how much I wish I could say yes to you; but it's impossible. I must be with my father. I owe it to him. He can't go away, nor can I leave him. So until the way Is clear we can be friends only, and no more." He sat stunned for a moment, vain­ ly striving to understand a circtim Stance or combination 6f conditions which could have dictated such an answer. Then the thought came that perhaps the girl before him was ma­ king a sacrifice to some awful men­ ace, and it could be only one thing- the threatened Insanity of her father. But what had the war to do with that? Perhaps she would never be more to Trim if her father went insane, because than she would say no because of her very love for him, and the fear for pos­ terity. Their happiness, then, was to depend upon the condition of an old ' man's mind. "Norm," he ask(£d, softly, Is It In­ sanity?" 6he turned toward him in amaze­ ment, not fathoming his line of reason­ ing. "I can tell you nothing more." She spoke as one under stress and ^oppression. "You must ask nothing more. You must take my love on faith or not at all until you know it is time for you to tell me again that 1 am necessary to you." He felt that it was a crisis with them, and slowly thought of what he might say to break away this barrier or induce her to remove the embargo. They sat looking into the distance; but before he could formulate an ar­ gument the sound of a horse's hoofs madly clattering over the pavements caught their attention. It Came near- ' _ «r and nearer, and then paBt them on the street below a man in soldier's un­ iform flashed by. They looked at each other wonderingly, half starting to their feet, and as they looked a sudden pandemonium broke forth. * : From an alleyway nearby burst an army of newsboys, the streets sudden­ ly became alive with pedestrians belched forth from cafes and hotels, and above all other sounds came the cries of "Extry! Ex try! War bt-oken out! War! War! War!" She turned away from him as If in those cries were an irrevocable sen­ tence of misery, parted the vines and stood silently looking out into the night; and he knew without, feeing . that 1ft' her eyes were team ' . ^ v CHAPTER II. Ths Sword of the Samurai, se nation was in a turmoil. Throughout the night and the follow­ ing day the newspapers of the country sent forth a more or less trustworthy recountal of the opening of hostili­ ties. It had been known for • weeks that the transports of Japan guarded by her 'entire navy had assembled off Nagasaki. It had even been reported that they had sailed away for southern waters; but this had- met with later denial. The blow had fallen as swiftly as would that of a rattlesnake which for weeks had been coiled and sinu­ ously moving its head in preparation for attack. ^ {Strangely enough the first reports of war came from foreign sources; but they were undoubtedly official, having been imparted by Japan to her ally, Great Britain. The bulletins issued by the London papers bore the un­ doubted ring of semi-official utter­ ances. That of the Daily Mail, cabled In full to the American press, read: "japan, reluctantly abandoning hope of peace by ordinary methods, has beet), driven to the extreme recourse and has officially declared war against the United States of America." Within half an hour after the Is­ suance of this bulletin a second an­ nouncement was made, which took no cognizance of the fact that the official declaration must have been preceded by decisive action: "The Japanese war office has been iadv|sed that on the 27th instant at noon the Philippine islands were'com­ pelled to surrender to the Japanese fleet, which appeared off Manila. Not •: - - ~r • -vv -v ' The Ambassador Rose from His Seat.* only did the city itself capitulate, but possession of the entire islands has been given over. The Japanese gov­ ernment announces with due modesty that it has gained a complete and un­ qualified victory without the loss of a man. "Later.--It Is announced by the Japanese government that the parole of all officers and men of the United States army in the Philippines has been accepted, and the men of the vanquished army have been allowed to sail for San Francisco on board foreign ships, which were lying in the harbor at the time of surrender." From every quarter of the land came insistent demands for official news from the government, coupled with re­ quests for detailed accounts of the do- feat. The administration replied with the brief statement that no verified report of the action in the Philippines could be given out at that time. It did state, however, that the official declaration of war had been duly re­ ceived, that the Japanese ambassador had been withdrawn, the legation closed and that the officials would leave New York for their own country that evening, sailing by way of Liver­ pool. Public clamor gave way to popular Indignation. The country was aflame with war spirit. Guardsmen gath­ ered in their armories, awaiting of­ ficial bulletins and the expected call to arms; and yet no orders came. The governors of several states tele­ graphed to the war department for advice; but their only satisfaction was in the following message sent broad­ cast by the secretary of state: "The government, recognising the patriotism and readiness of the Na­ tional Guard of the United States, does not at this immediate moment desire its services. It is well to bear in mind, however, that a sudden call may be issued at a later date and to be prepared for emergencies. It wishes to announce further that in its judgment there will be no necessity for fighting on land, and that the situ­ ation is completely under control. So far there have been no casualties re­ ported from the Philippines." Whatever may have been the state of the public mind before the issuance of this declaration, the country now gasped with amazement. Some of the more violent and outspoken journals demanded of .the men at Washington a statement of what they purposed to do in this emergency, and the most radical intimated in no uncertain terms that Incompetent administra­ tions were subject to impeachment. But to ail of this outburst the govern­ ment officials most directly interested presented only the sfeme calm, placid and indifferent front. There was noth­ ing to be detected in their demeanor to indicate that any action whatever had been taken. The various members of the diplo­ matic corps, even to the highest of the foreign ambassadors, gathered no new information. They were invariably told, first, that the United States knew there had been a declaration of war; second, that the United States knew that the Philippines had been surrendered; third, that no orders had been issued up to that hour for the sailing of any fleet, but that it was ex­ pected orders would be given before the day was over. The men of the foreign representation one and all felt a gentle rebuff tantamount to being told that the United States was at­ tending strictly to Its own business and desired neither to be advised nor to be compelled to answer questions. None felt this more keenly than the members of the British legation, and Guy miller in particular. His meet­ ing of the night before with Miss Roberts had not terminated satisfac­ torily, but had come to an abrupt close when he bade her good night at the door of her home, and with all hiB questions unanswered. Since that moment there had been little time for him either to brood over the situation or to conjecture over her strange at­ titude. 5 Throughout the early morning he hurried this way and that, receiving visitors and answering requests for in­ formation from Great Britain. His superior, heated and exasperated, broke in upon him almost as he was starting to call up Miss Roberts' resi- "Guy," the ambassador said, "we are in a country of lunatics. There Is something in this government's atti­ tude that is inexplicable. It can't be that they are all cowards, and yet I have something to show you." The ambassador drew a handker­ chief from his sleeve and wiped the perspiration from his forehead, after which he reached a large pudgy finger over to the secretary's desk, pressing there on a pearl-topped electric button. "Walters," he said to the usher who came into the room in answer to the summons, "neither Mr. Hillier nor myself is here, and we won't be back for an hour; that is what you are to say without exception." Then as the attendant bowed himself out he beck­ oned the secretary to follow him into the seclusion of his private office. "Hillier," he began, throwing a paper on the desk before the secre­ tary, who had seated himself on the opposite side, "read that." The secretary saw before hip* .a code telegram neatly interpreted be­ tween the lines. It was evidently an official order addressed to a fleet com­ mander at Callao, Peru. "What do you make of that," he asked in a tone of great disgust, and then, as Hillier started to question him, put up his hand fur silence. "No, it doesn't matter where I got It, or how I had It decoded; it 1b genuine, all right." The secretary stared at him with a look of blank interrogation on his face, while the ambassador rose from, the seat into which he had thrown himself only a moment before, leaned over his desk, resting himself on the knuckles of his clenched hands, and said: "That is an order from the secretary of the navy positively commanding all the vessels owned by the United States in Pacific waters to return without delay to Baltimore. It's a shame, that's what it is! The other nations of the world should intervene and prevent this country from com­ mitting suicide. Conditions are so ex­ traordinary that I don't dare Intrust anyone but you to make a report of the situation, and you have sot to do that in person." He walked up and down the room excitedly for a few moments, freely expressing his perplexity over the turn of events, and ended by abruptly ringing for a timetable and a sailing li^t, which he consulted before again addressing himself to his secretary. "Get out of here as quickly as you can!" he ordered. "Go to your rooms, throw what stuff you need into a bag, and take the first train you can get for New York! I shall meet you at the station here and give you such re­ ports of conditions as I can write in the meantime. When you get to New York, go as quickly as you can to the Cunard dock, from which the Lucania is due to sail early in the morning. I shall hold her up until you arrive. De­ liver my letters in person to the for­ eign secretary's office in London, and answer such questions as you can re­ garding this remarkable situation and this incomprehensible government. These matters are too important to admit of delay and ordinary official re* ports. Go quickly!" he concluded, al­ most shoving Hillier through the door. 1*11 attend to everything here. Don't lot there be any delay on your part!" The secretary hurried away to make preparations for his departure, leaving the perturbed ambassador to prepare his reports. He called a cab and drove to his apartment, intent on first telephoning to Miss Roberts. His man met him at the door and handed him a letter addressed in a familiar -hand, which he hastily tore open and read as he stood in the open doorway: "Dear Guy: I have been called away very suddenly, and am going to my father. He needs me now more than ever. • I cannot alter anything which I told you last night, nor can I add anything, save to say that some­ time, somehow, God willing, we shall be together again, under circum­ stances where I can tell you all the truth. It will do no good to write to the old address; for I shall not be there. There will be no means of our communicating^ I fear, for an in­ definite time. It is always within the realms of possibility, when war is on a land, that friends may never meet again. If such should be our case, 1 pray that you will remember this even up to the last--I loved you. flood-by. NORMA.** Stunned by this unexpected missive, lie hurried to the telephone, and In a fever of haste and anxiety called up her home, only to be told that she had departed in the earlier hours of ths morning after receiving a message presumably from her father. He could learn nothing further of her. He was stopped as if by an insurmount­ able wall. He cursed the fate which separated them and the order which sent him away without giving time to see her, and almost in open rebellion thought for a moment of refusing to act as king's courier, resolving rather to resign from his position and aban­ don his post; but he was bound by the training of years and the demands of duty, and at the last moment boarded the train which, was to tak« him from the country and the woman he loved. And even as he went the object of his. solicitude was speeding away Into the south on a special train. The train consisted of only two Pullmans and a dining car. Before it In its southern flight the way seefhed always open, and hour after hour it rushed onward, drawn by the most powerful locomotives that could be ob­ tained. Norma was the only woman passenger aboard; all the others were grim-faced, sun-tanned men of the sea, who had been summoned to Wash­ ington from various navy yards and ships within the month. Of all on board she was the only civilian, and yet the one whom the government seemed most anxious to transport. The officers themselves gathered into little group*, discussing the war which had opened so abruptly, and speculating as to why in such aa Im­ portant crisis they had been ordered from their posts of duty to report for further advices and sealed Instruc­ tions at so unimportant and isolated a seaport as the small one on the coast of Florida to which they were heading. Another singular feature of this journey was that all aboard, from the distinguished admiral to the junior lieutenant commander, were, by or­ der, in the plainest of civilian dress. That it had been the intention of the war department to maintain their Identity secret was proved by the com­ ments of a railway official who stood near one of the coaches while waiting for a change of locomotives. "You understand, don't you," he said to a man apparently a train dis­ patcher, standing beside him, "that this train has the right of way over everything? Sidetrack the flyer if necessary to get this through. There can't be anything in front of her, and the only limit to her time is the speed of the engine that pulls her. I under­ stand it's a party of secret service people the government is sending to Cuba. That's all I know about it, and it's In line with everything else you naturally can expect from such a lot of insane men as they seem to have in Washington." They whirled away from the sta­ tion, looking at each other blankly, and wondering wh^T the outcome of all this mystery could be. Every action so far was without precedent. There was a disposition on the part of some of them to bemoan the fats which had detached them from their ships aHa time when the country was to be defended and g*ory won; but this was brought to a sudden end by grim old "Fighting Bc/b" Bevlns, the admiral, who reprimanded them for daring to criticise their superiors at thete-AW&ers. • . * 7 HTO BB CONTIl«IH|li> 7-..^>,77!' Washington.--Mqaday at l2 e*clock both houses of congress convened for the beginning of the second session of the Sixtieth congress.

Cummins of Iowa took oath of office as the Successor of Sena­ tor Allison of that state, as did Oarroll S. Page of Vermont as the successor of Senator Stewart. In the house the- seven members who were elected in November to suc­ ceed members who have died or re­ signed in that body also were sworn in. They are: Henry A. Barnhart ,Dem.), who succeeds the late Mr. Brick (Rep.) from the Thirteenth In­ diana district; Albert Estoplnal (Dem.), who succeeds the late Mr. Meyer from the First Louisiana dis­ trict; Otto G. Foelker (Rep.), suc­ cessor to Mr. Dunwell (Rep.), in the Third New York district; Frank E. Guernsey (Rep.),, successor to Mr. Powers (Rep.), from the Fourth Maine district; Eben M. Masters (Rep.), suc­ cessor to Mr. Parker (Rep.), from South Dakota, at large; O. C. Wiley (Dem.), successor to his brother, A. A. Wiley (Dem.), from the Second Ala­ bama district, and John P. Swasey (Rep.), successor to Mr. Littlefieid, who resigned during the last session from the Second Maine district. The two houses then appointed com­ mittees each to notify the other house and the president that the two bodies were organized and prepared to go for­ ward with the business of the session. The senate then adjourned for the day out of respect to the memory of Sena­ tor Allison, who died during the recess. The house also terminated its brief session with resolutions commemora­ tive of the lives of Messrs. Parker, South Dakota; Wiley, Alabama; Dun- well, New York, and Powers, Maine, who have died since adjournment last May. nrani LOOTERS HRE SHOT ARMED FORCES SUPPRESS THE PORT AU PRrfNCE MOB.

The vessel is 5,000 to|ts burden and was coal laden. Port au Prince.--For many hours during the night following the flight of Nord Alexis, riot and pillage pre­ vailed In Port au Prince. The populace, maddened by the spirit of revolt, turned from the skiff that car­ ried their deposed president to the French training ship Duguay Trouin, and gave full vent to their passions. They looted stores and residences and fought among themselves over the booty and were only held in check by an armed force hastily gathered to­ gether by Gen. Poidevin, which fired a volley into the mob and drove the rioters from street to street and final­ ly Into seclusion. In all, 12 persons were filled and many founded before order was re­ stored. So serious did the situation become that' a committee of public safety, composed of the most prominent mili­ tary leaders, was organized. Sctfres of citizens were placed under arms to assist the loyal troops in patrolling the city and Thursday comparative tran­ quility reigned. The American, French and German ministers decided early in the morn- ing that they could trust to the ar­ rangements made by the committee to maintain order, but they jointly gave notification that if disorders com­ menced again they would land forces from the warships. Those already here were re-enforced at daybreak by the United States gunboat Eagle and the British cruiser Scylla. The sentiment of the people is strongly in favor of Gen. Simon and he will probably be elected president, if the chamber can be assembled without delay. A delegation com­ posed of seven prominent citizens has gone to meet the revolutionary leader and acquaint him with the fact that Nord Alexis has gone aboard the Duguay Trouin.
