TO BE GREATEST FEAT IN WORLD'S HISTORY.

It Would Mean a Voyage of Thirty Thousand MilesWireless Telephones Used Between Iron Monsters.

New York, Dec. 10 The dispatch from the Louisiana contains the first definite news of the plans for the fleet after it has visited the Pacific coast. The only program that has been announced was that the ships were to proceed to Magdalena bay, Lower California, arriving there, according to schedule, on March 14. After a month's target practice and evolutions there the fleet was to proceed to San Francisco. Now it is said that the ehipa will encircle the globe. What the fleet was to do after that, whether it would be sent on around the world or return by the Straits of Magellan, was problematical. There have been any number of conjectures as to what the fleet would do in event ot its returning by way of Suez. Not 1he least interesting has been that a friendly visit might be made to Japan. Admiral Evans himself, in a signed statement, which he gave out to the press Saturday before sailing, said: "I hope when we arrive home or at our destination the people will have for us upon our arrival a welcome as warm as is the Godspeed which they give us on our departure and that should our commander in chief then decide to send us on a mission of peace and good will to nations 'of the other hemisphere the same . trm interest will follow in the future as it always has in the past.' Admiral Evans statement was taken by many as indicating the real destination of the fleet was the Philippines. Voyage Would Be World Record. A voyage around the world by "the battle fleet," or even half of it, would be a naval feat unsurpassed a the history of the world. It would mean a voyage of more than oO,xn mils. The trip to San Francisco will cover 1-1,000. The distance in miles from San Francisco over the ordinary Suez route would be: San Frangisco to Hongkong 7,X5

llongkong to Singapore 1,4-10

Singapore to Colombo 1,C;0 Colombo to Aden 2,1 )0 Aden to Port Said 1,14.", Tort Said to Gibraltar l,2oo Gibraltar to New York ,202 Anegada passage, which the fleet is expected to make by Saturday noon, lies between Anegada island and Perra or Dog island. Anegada island is a email rock, the extreme northeast of the Leeward group of islands. After going through this passage the fleet will have a straight course, a little to the east of south to Tort of Spain, Trinidad. Anegada island will be the first land sighted since the fleet left the coast. The messages from the fleet said that the wireless telephones are being used on the trip and are proving successful. The ships in the squadrons carry on conversations and receive orders for formations by wireless telephone.

New York, Dec. 19 "Abe" Hummel, famous In the Thaw trial, was said to be dying last night at the penitentiary on Blackwell's Island, where he has
