AUTHOR'S NOTE. 
 
 In the following history of the First Battalion, 
 Naval Militia, New York, the author, without laying 
 claim to literary merit, has endeavored briefly to 
 record that which has been accomplished by the Bat- 
 talion during the past twenty years. 
 
 All the information used has been obtained from 
 official reports and records, supplemented, after July, 
 1894, by the personal observations and recollections 
 of the author. 
 
 Every care has been taken to insure accuracy, but 
 if any error appears, due to inadvertence, or to the 
 inaccuracy of the original records, the author trusts 
 that it may be overlooked with that kindly considera- 
 tion which he has always received at the hands of 
 his shipmates.

Organization of the Battalion 
 
 During the fall of 1886, a Naval Reserve move- 
 ment was started in the City of New York by 
 Mr. Aaron Vanderbilt, Capt. Philip B. Low, an 
 ex-Naval officer, and Capt. Henry Erben, U. S. N., 
 who prevailed upon Mr. Whitthome of Tennessee 
 to introduce Senate bill 3320, February 17, 1887, 
 "To Create a Naval Reserve of Auxiliary Cruisers, 
 Officers, and Men from the Mercantile Marine of 
 the United States." The measure did not become 
 a law, but the Navy Department prepared a plan 
 of organization for a Naval Militia. In 1888 Mr. 
 Whitthome again introduced a bill, H. R, 10622, 
 "To provide for the enrolment of a Naval Militia 
 and the organization of Naval forces, etc." This 
 bin was not passed, but it became the basis of State 
 action. 
 
 As the methods proposed in these bills were more 
 to the organization of a national force than to a 
 State Naval MiHtia, little was accomplished. 
 
 In 1889 those who had been interested in the 
 tmsuccessful attempt to sectire national legislation 
 turned their attention to State legislation and 
 
procured the passage by the legislature of New 
 York of "An Act to establish a State Naval 
 Militia" (Chapter 492 of the Laws of 1889). 
 
 In the autumn of that year Capt. Philip B. Low 
 started to form a Battalion of Naval Volunteers 
 and having succeeded in getting some seventy-five 
 men interested in the project, and, on October 28, 
 1889, a provisional Naval Battalion was organized 
 and Captain Low was elected its commanding 
 officer with the rank of Lieutenant-Commander. 
 This was the beginning of the First Battalion, 
 Naval Militia. 
 
 The Battalion increased in membership but had 
 a hard struggle to maintain its existence, as the 
 Legislature would not provide the necessary 
 means; the expenses of the organization had to 
 be borne by the officers and men. It had no place 
 in which to meet, except when a haU was hired for 
 a drill. To supply this want the members used 
 frequently to meet at the "Arena" in Thirty-first 
 Street, where, through the courtesy of Mr. Wm. 
 C. Muschenheim, drills were held in the "Yacht 
 Room," the Ship's Bell from which was subse^ 
 quently presented by him to the Battalion. 
 
 During the summer of 1890, the Navy Depart- 
 ment allowed the Battalion the use of the U. S. S. 
 "Minnesota," which was moored off the foot of 
 West Fiftieth Street, then used by the Navy as a 
 training ship. This only lasted for a very short 
 time, as the "Minnesota" was to be dismantled 
 and all work had to cease, and for a time the Naval 
 
Militia of New York seemed about to die of 
 inertia. 
 
 Diuing the month of March, 1891, a few 
 enthusiatic yachtsmen, viz., W. Butler Duncan, 
 Jr., Herbert L. Satterlee, William Whitlock, 
 Theodore C. Zerega, and August Belmont, Jr., in- 
 corporated the New York Naval Reserve Associa- 
 tion, with Mr. Satterlee as President, its object 
 being to promote an interest in a National Naval 
 Reserve and a State Naval Militia. This organ- 
 ization grew rapidly in membership and influence, 
 so that in the following April a Provisional Naval 
 Battalion was formed, Mr. Jacob W. MiUer, an ex- 
 Naval officer, being elected its commanding officer. 
 
 About this time, Lieut.-Comdr. Low of the First 
 Provisional Battalion, on account of failing health 
 and business engagements, found it necessary to 
 be reKeved of the duties and responsibilities of his 
 position, and accordingly resigned his command, 
 and the two' battalions were merged under the 
 command of Lieutenant-Commander Miller. 
 
 Shortly after the consolidation of the two 
 battalions, the "Minnesota," which had been 
 overhauled for the purpose of a receiving ship, was 
 again placed at the disposal of the Naval Militia 
 for weekly drills, with the full use of the equipment, 
 arms, and boats. The U. S. S. "Philadelphia," 
 which was at anchor in the harbor, was also placed 
 at the service of the Battalion. 
 
 This Provisional Battalion had been gaining 
 many recruits, and had for some time past been 
 
 3 
 
seeking admission as part of the Militia of the 
 State; and on the 23d day of June, 1891, it was 
 mustered in as a constituent part of the armed 
 forces of the State of New York, as the First 
 BattaHon Naval Reserve Artillery S. N. Y., by 
 Adjutant-General Josiah Porter, at the armory of 
 the Second Battery N. G. S. N. Y., New York 
 City. 
 
 The following were commissioned as the officers 
 of the Battalion: Jacob W. MUler, Lieut.-Com- 
 mander, Commanding Officer; George E. Kent, 
 Lieutenant (J. G.), Adjutant; S. Dana Greene, W. 
 Butler Dtmcan, Jr., Robert P. Forshew, and Louis 
 M. Mowbray, Lieutenants commanding batteries, 
 aU of whom were graduates of the U. S. Naval 
 Academy. The other officers were Herbert L. 
 Satterlee, Lieutenant (J. G.), Navigator; John G. 
 Agar, Lieutenant (J. G.), Paymaster; Washington 
 Irving, Lieutenant (J. G.), Edwin C. Weeks, 
 Byron E. French, William C. Brown, Daniel 
 Bacon, Frederick W. Meeker, George W. Blair, 
 Theodore C. Zerega, and William J. Henderson, 
 Ensigns. 
 
 The Battalion consisted of four batteries, each 
 under the command of a Lieutenant, the whole 
 being under a Lieutenant-Commander. The 
 strength of the command at this time was fifteen 
 officers and one hundred and ninety enlisted men. 
 
 The Navy Department was doing all it could 
 to forward the Naval Militia movement, and it 
 expressed the wish that the Naval Militia should be 
 
 4 
 
drilled on boaxd the Squadron of Evolution under 
 Rear-Admiral John G. Walker. Permission being 
 given and the Governor having approved of the 
 plan, Admiral Walker was ordered to New York 
 and on July 25, 1891, the Battalion began its 
 first cruise, on board the steamer "Stonington," in 
 conjunction with the Squadron of Evolution. 
 The "Stonington" was chartered with fimds 
 raised by the Naval Reserve Association and gener- 
 ously contributed by the citizens of New York. 
 
 During the following winter the Battalion in- 
 creased its membership to two hundred and eighty 
 officers and men, but it was still without a place 
 to drill in, and there was no appropriation from the 
 state or national government either of arms or 
 money. Through the courtesy of Capt. Wilson, 
 commanding the Second Battery N. G. N. Y., the 
 Battalion was occasionally allowed the use of its 
 Armory for drill. 
 
 Early in 1892 the Battalion obtained permission, 
 through the courtesy of the Park Department, to 
 use Castle Garden for weekly drills for the remain- 
 der of the winter, and on April 12th, a Review 
 and Parade was held there, at which time colors 
 and guidons were presented. 
 
 On Memorial Day (May 30th) occurred the first 
 street parade of the Battalion as part of the 
 organized militia of the State. 
 
 The name of the organization was changed by 
 Act of Legislature on June 25, 1892, to the First 
 Naval Battalion, and the batteries to divisions, 
 
 5 
 
and the grade of commanding ofl5cer raised to that 
 of Commander. 
 
 During the early part of July, permission was 
 obtained to use the U. S. S. "New Hampshire" 
 for the simimer cruise. A detail was sent to New 
 London, Conn., to bring the old sailing vessel to 
 New York, and on July i6th, the second cruise 
 was begun, which like the one of the previous year 
 was made with the Squadron of Evolution, under 
 Rear- Admiral Walker. 
 
 In September 1892, the Battalion received its 
 first call for active duty under State orders dtuing 
 the quarantine distturbances, when Governor Ros- 
 well P. Flower ordered out the Battalion, together 
 with the Thirteenth and Sixty-ninth Regiments 
 N. G. N. Y., to protect the landing of passengers 
 from the cholera-infected ships "Normania" and 
 "Wyoming" of the Hamburg-American Steam- 
 ship Company at Fire Island, New York, which 
 landing was opposed by the inhabitants of the 
 south shore of Long Island bordering on the 
 Great South Bay. 
 
 Orders were received by the BattaKon at 1 1 p.m. 
 on the evening of September 12th, to proceed to 
 Fire Island by water, as early as possible on the 
 morning of the thirteenth. The "Pegasus," of 
 the Iron Steamboat Company, was chartered by 
 the State for the trip. The following morning the 
 Battalion, under Commander Miller, embarked 
 and later the Sixty-ninth Regiment N. G. N. Y., 
 imder Col. Cavanagh, reported on board. 
 
 6 
 
The expedition did not leave until one p.m. 
 During the trip down the bay, a gale sprang up, 
 which prevented the "Pegasus" from arriving oflE 
 Fire Island Light until nearly dark, and the sea 
 becoming high, it was decided that it would not be 
 safe to attempt a landing, and as the "Pegasus" 
 would not be safe at sea in heavy weather, it was 
 considered advisable to return to New York. On 
 the return trip the gale increased greatly in 
 violence, and at times the vessel was in imminent 
 danger, so much so that the life-boats were pre- 
 pared for use at a moment's notice. 
 
 The "Pegasus" arrived at Jersey City early on 
 September 14th, where orders were received from 
 Albany to return to New York and disembark, 
 the necessity for troops having ceased. 
 
 At the special request of the Columbus Celebra- 
 tion Committee, the Battalion paraded on October 
 nth and 12th in commemoration of the discovery 
 of America. 
 
 Up to this time the Battalion had been con- 
 fronted with a series of difficulties, which at times 
 seemed almost insurmountable. Without an 
 armory and having no funds from the State, the 
 Naval Militia would have ceased to exist had it not 
 been for the courtesy of the commanding officers 
 of the Twelfth and Seventy-first Regiments and 
 Second Battery N. G. N. Y., who allowed the 
 Battalion the use of their armories at various 
 times, and the city through the Park Depart- 
 ment permitted the use of Castle Garden. 
 
 7 
 
Towards the close of 1892 the possibilities of 
 the Naval Militia were beginning to be recognized 
 in Albany and "An Act for the Establishment 
 and Government of a State Naval Militia" 
 (Chapter 708 of the Laws of 1892) was passed, which 
 placed the Naval Militia on the same footing as 
 the National Guard. The Navy Department was 
 endeavoring to facilitate and encourage by every 
 means in its power the training of the State 
 organization. The Secretary of the Navy in his 
 report recommended that an appropriation should 
 be made for the Naval Militia, and in pursuance 
 of this recommendation. Congress made an ap- 
 propriation for the purchase of arms, and the 
 Department assigned the U. S. S. "New Hamp- 
 shire" to the State of New York for the use of 
 its Naval Militia. 
 
 This bill enabled the Battalion to perfect an 
 organization more closely resembling that of the 
 Navy, besides giving rights similar to those of the 
 National Guard. 
 
 The diflRcvilties which had been confronting the 
 Battalion were now overcome, and the beginning 
 of 1893 P^'t ^^^ lif^ iiito the organization. On 
 January 23d, the transfer of the " New Hampshire " 
 from the Navy to the State of New York was 
 consummated, and through the courtesy of the 
 Dock Department she was moored at the foot of 
 East 28th Street. The membership of the Bat- 
 talion at that date numbered twenty-seven officers 
 and three hundred and thirty-seven enlisted men.

On February 226. (Washington's Birthday) the 
 Battalion furnished a guard of honor to President 
 Harrison on the occasion of the hoisting of the 
 American Ensign on the American Line steamer 
 "New York" upon the transfer of the ship from 
 British to American registry. 
 
 During the World's Fair Celebration in New 
 York in the spring of 1893, the Battalion was 
 called upon to take an active part in the cere- 
 monies, and the same being of a naval character, 
 the organization occupied a prominent position. 
 On April 27th occurred the Naval Parade, followed 
 in the evening by a ball at Madison Square 
 Garden to the foreign Naval officers, at which the 
 Battalion furnished a guard of honor. The land 
 parade was held on the following day. 
 
 May 17th the Battalion acted as escort dtiring 
 the ceremonies attending the approach of the 
 "Viking" ship to New York Harbor; on May 29th 
 furnished a guard of honor to H. R. H. Infanta 
 Eulalie of Spain on board steamer "Monmouth" 
 on a trip to West Point; and on May 31st, a guard 
 at the Broadway Theatre, in honor of the Spanish 
 visitors. 
 
 The Annual Cruise was made on board the 
 "New Hampshire" from August 26th to Septem- 
 ber 2d. 
 
 During the International Yacht Races the 
 signalmen of the Battalion performed volunteer 
 duty. 
 
 In the spring of 1894 the Battalion held its 
 9 
 
first small-arms practice at the State Rifle Range 
 at Creedmoor, L. I. 
 
 The Fourth Annual Cruise from July 2ist to 
 July 29th of that year was made on board the 
 U. S. S. "San Francisco," Capt, Philip H. Cooper, 
 and the U. S. S. "New York," Captain John W. 
 Philip. This was the first cruise of the Battalion 
 on board vessels of the Navy. 
 
 On May 4, 1895, the Battalion took part in 
 the parade ceremonies pertaining to the dedication 
 of the Washington Memorial Arch in Washington 
 Square, New York City. 
 
 The Cruise of 1895 was divided into two parts: 
 four preliminary cruises of two days' duration 
 each, and a main cruise lasting a week. These 
 cruises were aimed incidentally to give both officers 
 and men experience in practical alongshore work, 
 the preparation of war maps, and experience in 
 signalling and reconnaissance work. The pre- 
 liminary tours of duty were made in cutters, while 
 the main tour from July 19th to 28th was in a 
 camp of instruction, at Shelter Island, N. Y. 
 
 By the request of the Regatta Committee of the 
 New York Yacht Club, the signalmen of the 
 Battalion performed duty during the Inter- 
 national Yacht Races from September 7th to 
 I2th. 
 
 June, 1896, saw the close of the first five years 
 of the organization, and the fear brought with it 
 that the strength of the command might be 
 diminished was not realized, as each division "had 
 
 10 
 
a waiting list, and the places of the men whose 
 term had expired were rapidly filled. 
 
 The Summer Cruise was voluntary owing to 
 the fact that the organization had performed five 
 annual tours of duty. The Battalion established 
 a camp at Sands Point, L. I., from June 27th to 
 September ist, for the purpose of continuing the 
 signal and information work begun the previous 
 year. The cruise was made from Jtdy i ith to i8th 
 on board the U. S. S. "Montgomery, " Commander 
 R. B. Bradford, and in the camp of instruction at 
 Gardiner's Island, N. Y., in conjimction with the 
 Naval Militia of the States of Rhode Island and 
 Connecticut. 
 
 On August 28th, a detail acted as a special guard 
 of honor to his excellency, Li Hung Chang of 
 China, on the occasion of his visit to New York 
 City to plant a tree on Riverside Drive near 
 General Grant's Tomb. 
 
 In the spring of 1897 the Battalion performed 
 duty in connection with the ceremonies attendant 
 upon the dedication of President Grant's Tomb in 
 New York, as follows: April 26th, detail acted as 
 guard of honor to President McKinley on his 
 arrival in the city. April 27th, street parade; and 
 guard of honor at the Reception at the Union 
 League Club to the national, state, and city 
 officials. April 28th, guard of honor at the 
 Reception to the foreign and American Naval 
 officers at the Waldorf Astoria. 
 
 By the organization and mustering into the 
 II 
 
State service of the Second Naval Battalion of 
 Brookljm, in Jtine, the Naval Militia was in- 
 creased to a brigade and Commander Miller 
 resigned from the command of the Battalion to 
 accept the rank of Captain, commanding the 
 Naval Militia. He was succeeded by W. Butler 
 Dtmcan, Jr., one of the founders of the organiza- 
 tion and a graduate of the U. S. Naval Academy. 
 The Annual Cruise, July 24th to 31st, was made on 
 board U. S. S. "Massachusetts," Capt. F. J. 
 Higginson, and U. S. S. "Texas," Capt. W. C. Wise. 
 
 Towards the close of the year 1897, diplomatic 
 relations between the United States and the 
 Kingdom of Spain were somewhat strained, and 
 came to a crisis by the destruction of the U. S. S. 
 "Maine" in Havana Harbor, diuing February, 
 1898, and the Battalion began at once to make 
 preparations for active service, in case war shovdd 
 be declared and the organization called on for 
 duty. 
 
 The expected call came on March 26th when 
 the Governor upon the request of the Navy 
 Department called for volunteers from the Bat- 
 talion, to proceed to League Island Navy Yard to 
 bring the U. S. Monitor "Nahant" to New York 
 Harbor for the protection of that city. 
 
 From that time, the operations of the State 
 Naval forces were divided into two periods — one 
 of preparation and one of active service — and into 
 two officially distinct duties, that in the Navy 
 proper and that in the Auxiliary Naval force. 
 
On March 31st, the Navy Department requested 
 the Governor to recruit the Naval Militia to its 
 full strength, so as to be in condition to meet any 
 sudden caU by the President ; upon this request the 
 Battalion was increased to twenty-nine officers and 
 four hundred and forty-two men, the full strength 
 allowed by the military code. 
 
 On April nth, the Navy Department informed 
 the Governor that the " Nahant " was ready for her 
 oflScers and men, and the following day the detail 
 who had voltmteered for this duty left for Phila- 
 delphia. The "Nahant" arrived at New York 
 April 17th, manned by the First Naval Battalion 
 (with the exception of her commanding officer, 
 Lieutenant C. S. Richman, U. S. N.). This vessel 
 was the first of all the monitors to be ready for 
 service. 
 
 During the early part of April the Governor 
 requested the Navy Department to assign two 
 vessels to the Naval Militia for the defence of 
 New York Harbor and Long Island Sound, and in 
 response the Assistant Secretary of the Navy 
 informed the Governor that the Department 
 contemplated the assignment of some of the 
 auxiliary cruisers to the Naval Militia. 
 
 On April 17th, the Navy Department requested 
 the Governor to call for voltinteers to enter the 
 United States Navy in case their services should 
 be required by the President. 
 
 A state of war having been declared to exist be- 
 tween the United States and the Kingdom of 
 
 13 
 
Spain, which made the services of the Naval 
 Militia necessary, the volunteers from the First 
 Naval Battahon entered the United States Navy, 
 as individuals, the organization not being recog- 
 nized as such by the Navy Department; the men 
 enHsted and the officers were commissioned, all 
 having been granted leave of absence by the 
 Commander-in-chief. 
 
 The Navy Department assigned the U. S. S. 
 "Yankee" to this State, and the Captain of the 
 Naval Militia called upon the First Naval Battahon 
 to furnish volunteers for this service, and in six 
 hours the Battalion had a detail of one hundred and 
 fifty-five men ready for duty. 
 
 About that time preparatory orders were 
 received to man the U. S. Signal Stations at 
 Montatik Point, Quogue, and Fire Island. On 
 April 2d, under orders from Albany, the Fifth 
 Division (Engineer's Division) was organized in 
 the Battalion as authorized by the new military 
 code. This was the second Engineer Division 
 organized in the United States, and during the 
 war it furnished more than one hundred and fifty 
 men to the navy. 
 
 The details from the Battalion who volunteered 
 to enter the Navy were enlisted on the following 
 dates: Coast Signal Service, April 23d; U. S. S. 
 "Yankee," April 26th; U. S. S. "Nahant," April 
 29th. These details were increased from time to 
 time dturing the month of May. During this 
 period the officers and men who had not entered 
 
 14 
 
into the service of the United States performed 
 volunteer duty under State orders in protecting the 
 mine fields at Willets Point and the patrol of the 
 lower bay and the East River to Throgg's Neck. 
 
 Early in June Congress passed a bill creating an 
 Auxiliary Naval Force, to consist of members of the 
 Naval Militias of the States and other persons, 
 up to which time only about one half of the Naval 
 Militia had been called into war service, and little 
 had been done to place the organizations in the 
 field of duty for which they had been especially 
 trained. 
 
 After June 8th, all ofiicers and men from the 
 Battalion who entered the service of the United 
 States were commissioned and enlisted in the 
 Auxiliary Naval Force, which bore the same 
 relationship to thfe Navy as the Volunteer Army 
 did to the Regular Army. On June 14th the 
 "New Hampshire" was transferred to the Navy, 
 and from that date to the close of the war she was 
 used as a receiving ship and for the headquarters 
 of the Third District of the Auxiliary Naval 
 Force. 
 
 The fleet Of the Third District consisted of the 
 "New Hampshire," two monitors, and nine 
 converted yachts, and the duty assigned was to 
 protect the mine fields at Sandy Hook, the Narrows, 
 and the Ea§t River to Throgg's Neck, and to patrol 
 the entrance to New York Harbor, work previously 
 done by the Naval Militia. By the end of July, 
 the danger from an enemy's fleet having dis- 
 
 15 
 
appeared, the Army removed most of the mines 
 and the auxiliary fleet proceeded for a cruise of 
 instruction through Long Island Sound. During 
 the month of August the vessels of this fleet 
 performed duty at Montauk Point in establishing 
 quarantine grounds, maintaining quarantine regu- 
 lations, establishing and maintaining harbor regu- 
 lations, attending to the landing of the troops, and 
 carrying stores to transports. 
 
 About the end of August, the auxiliary fleet 
 was put out of commission, and the "New Hamp- 
 shire" was returned to the State. The monitor 
 "Nahant" was attached to that fleet from Jtme 
 to the close of the war. The duties performed 
 on board the monitors, the converted yachts, 
 and in the Coast Signal Service, were those for 
 which the State had trained its Naval Militia, 
 under suggestions from Washington. 
 
 The ships of the Third District which were 
 officered and manned by details from the First 
 Naval Battalion besides the "New Hampshire" 
 and "Nahant," were the U. S. S. "Freelance" and 
 U. S. S. "Aileen." The Battalion was also 
 called upon to furnish officers for the U. S. S. 
 "Buffalo" and the U. S. S. "Rainbow." 
 
 The "Yankee" was commanded by Commander 
 WiUard H. Brownson, U. S. N., and her crew with 
 the exception of her Captain, Executive, and 
 Navigating Officer, and the Marine Guard, was 
 composed entirely of officers and men furnished by 
 the First Naval Battalion. 
 
 I6 
 
The "Yankee" crew joined that ship May 6th, 
 and on May the i ith, she left the Brooklyn Navy 
 Yard and proceeded to sea and joined the North 
 Patrol Squadron under Commodore J. A. Howell, 
 and was on duty with that squadron until May 
 29th, when she sailed for Cuba to join the fleet 
 under Rear-Admiral W. T. Sampson off Santiago 
 de Cuba, where she arrived June 3d, and was 
 assigned to her station at the eastern end of the 
 blockading Une. The "Yankee" remained with 
 the fleet in Cuban waters until August 24th, when 
 she left for New York, arriving on August 28th, 
 and a few days later was sent to League Island 
 Navy Yard, to be put out of commission. 
 
 The "Yankee" was the first of her type to be 
 ready for sea. Her crew was mustered into the 
 Navy twelve days before any National Guard 
 organization entered the Army from this State. 
 She was the first vessel manned by Naval Militia 
 to be under fire; the last ship to leave action at the 
 bombardment of Santiago, June 6th; and the 
 First Naval Battalion of New York was in an en- 
 gagement before any other voltmteer organization 
 of the United States. 
 
 The crew of the "Yankee" were the only 
 members of the Battalion who were actually under 
 fire, they having taken part in several engagements, 
 namely, at the bombardment of Santiago de 
 Cuba, June 6th, at the cutting of cables at Guan- 
 tanamo, Cuba, June 7th, at the engagement with 
 the Spanish gunboat "Diego Valaquez" at 
 
 17 
 
Cienfuegos, Cuba, June 13th, and at the engage- 
 ment off Casilda, Cuba, with the Spanish gun- 
 boat "Fernando d' Catolico," June 20th. 
 
 The year subsequent to a war was a trying one 
 for militia organizations; officers and men who 
 had seen actual service were compelled on their 
 return to civil life to pay close attention to then- 
 ordinary vocations, and the excitement incidental 
 to hostilities was replaced by lack of interest in 
 peace routine, and in consequence many members 
 took their discharges, which greatly reduced the 
 strength of the Battalion. 
 
 On April 16, 1899, the Battalion was ordered 
 for duty on board the "Pathfinder" dtiring the 
 reception to the U. S. S. "Raleigh" when she 
 arrived at New York from the Philippines. 
 
 The "New Hampshire" was moored off Tom- 
 kinsville, Staten Island, during the summer to 
 give the Battalion greater facilities for boat 
 work. 
 
 The Annual Cruise was made on board the 
 U. S. S. "Prairie," Commander M. R. S. Mac- 
 kenzie, from July 28th to Aug. 4th. 
 
 During the latter part of September, the Dewey 
 Celebration was held in New York, upon the 
 return of Admiral Geo. Dewey from the Philip- 
 pines on board the U. S. S. "Olympia." The 
 First Naval Battalion was on duty on Septem- 
 ber 28th on board the "New Hampshire" off 
 Tompkinsville, on the occasion of Governor 
 Roosevelt's visit to Admiral Dewey; on September 
 
 is 
 
29th in the Naval Parade, and on September 30th 
 it participated in the Land Parade. 
 
 The signalmen of the BattaUon were again 
 requested to perform duty on board guard-boats 
 during the International Yacht Races from 
 October i6th to October 20th. 
 
 Early in 1900, Commander Duncan resigned his 
 commission on accotmt of business and severed 
 his active connection with the Battalion, after nine 
 years of service. He was succeeded by Com- 
 mander William B. FranHin, a graduate of the 
 U. S.« Naval Academy. 
 
 This year the annual tour of duty was divided 
 into two parts; a divisional cruise of two days' 
 duration each, and a battaKon cruise of one week. 
 For this duty the "New Hampshire" was moved 
 early in June to an anchorage off Whitestone, L. I. 
 The divisional work was held on Saturdays and 
 Sundays from June 15th to July 22d, and the 
 ordered toiu- of duty from August 13th to 
 August 1 8th. At the close of the summer tour 
 of duty, the "New Hampshire" returned to her 
 station. 
 
 The name of the organization was again changed 
 by legislature on October 17, 1900, to the First 
 Battalion, Naval Militia. 
 
 On March 4, 1901, the Battalion made its first 
 public appearance outside of the State, when it 
 took part in the inaugural parade in Washington, 
 D. C, at the inaugtrration of President McKinley. 
 
 The BattaHon reached the ten-year period of its 
 19 
 
existence in June, 1901, in excellent condition, the 
 loss in strength which followed the Spanish- 
 American War being overcome. 
 
 In that year, for the first time since its organiza- 
 tion, there was no ordered tour of summer duty, 
 as the authorities at Albany deemed it advisable 
 for the Naval MiHtia to make a cruise only every 
 other year. Volunteer crmses were held, however, 
 by the different divisions on board steam latmches, 
 sailing cutters, and the U. S. S. "Aileen" of the 
 Second Naval Battalion. 
 
 For the purpose of instruction and drill, the 
 "New Hampshire " was towed to Whitestone, L. I., 
 in June, where she remained until October, when 
 she was towed to a new berth at the foot of East 
 24th Street. 
 
 Having satisfactorily performed signal duty 
 dtiring the International Yacht Races of 1893, 
 1895, and 1899, the BattaHon was again requested 
 to furnish signalmen for the races from September 
 28th to October 4th. 
 
 During November the strength of the command 
 was increased by the organization and muster in of a 
 Sixth Division (Signal Division). 
 
 On February 25, 1902, the First Battalion to- 
 gether with the Second Battalion of Brooklyn were 
 ordered out by the Governor to act as a guard of 
 honor to President Roosevelt and H. R. H. Prince 
 Henry of Prussia, at Shooter's Island, New York, 
 on the occasion of the launching of the German 
 Imperial yacht "Meteor"; and the Battalion 
 
took part in the parade in New York City on May 
 27th in honor of the representatives of the French 
 Government visiting the United States, as the 
 official guests of the nation in connection with the 
 unveiling of the monument to Count Rochambeau. 
 
 The tour of summer duty was held on board 
 Vessels of the North Atlantic Squadron, under 
 Rear-Admiral F. J. Higginson, during the com- 
 bined manoeuvres of the Army and Navy, off the 
 eastern end of Long Island Sound, from August 30th 
 to September 7th. The Battalion was assigned to 
 the U. S. S. "Montgomery, " Commander N. J. K. 
 Patch, and the U. S. S. "Supply," Commander 
 W. E. Sewell. 
 
 On October 7th a detail from the Battalion took 
 part in the ceremonies in connection with the laying 
 of the comer-stone of the new Custom House, 
 New York City. 
 
 In the year 1903 the Battalion was in a flourish- 
 ing condition. It furnished a detail which formed 
 part of the detachment of the National Guard and 
 the Naval MiHtia from New York State at the 
 dedication exercises of the Louisiana Purchase Ex- 
 position held in St. Louis, Mo., April 30th, May ist 
 and 2d. There was no ordered cruise this year, 
 but members of the Battalion performed volunteer 
 duty during the summer and details from the 
 Battalion performed signal duty on board the 
 various committee boats of the New York Yacht 
 Club during the International Yacht Races from 
 
 August 22d to September 3d. 
 
 21 
 
On June 14, 1904, the Battalion took part in the 
 ceremonies attending the laying of the comer-stone 
 of the Second BattaUon N. M. N. Y. Armory 
 in Brooklyn, and from Jtme 15th to 25th, volun- 
 teered and performed service in assisting the Police 
 Department in connection with the "General 
 Slocum" disaster off North Brother Island. 
 
 The tour of duty this year was a combined 
 cruise and camp of instruction, at Fort Rodman, 
 New Bedford, Mass., made with the Naval Brigade 
 of Massachusetts from July 23d to 31st. The 
 New York Naval Militia was transferred to and 
 from camp on board the U. S. S. "DiKie," Com- 
 mander G. A. Merriam. 
 
 At the launching of the U. S. S. "Connecticut" 
 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on September 29th, 
 details from the Battalion performed poUce duty on 
 board steam launches. 
 
 The name of the "New Hampshire " was changed 
 to the "Granite State" on December loth, by Act 
 of Congress, on account of the building of a new 
 battleship to be called the "New Hampshire." 
 
 With an enrolled strength of 352 officers and 
 men, the strongest since 1898, the Battalion began 
 the year 1905 and on March 4th it took part in the 
 inauguration of President Roosevelt in Washington, 
 D. C. There being no ordered tour of summer 
 duty this year, the Battalion continued its 
 volunteer information and reconnaissance work. 
 
 A detail from the Battalion acted as part of the 
 guard of honor on November i ith to H. S. H. Prince 
 
Louis of Battenberg on board the steamer "C. W. 
 Morse " on a trip to West Point. 
 
 In 1906 the summer cruise was made on board 
 the U. S. S. "West Virginia," Captain C. H. 
 Arnold. 
 
 For a number of years the Captain commanding 
 the Naval Militia had endeavored to obtain from 
 the Navy Department a suitable cruising vessel 
 for the First Battalion, and early in January, 1907, 
 the Department assigned the U. S. S. "Newark" 
 to the State of New York for its use. The formal 
 transfer of the vessel to the State took place on 
 March 23d, when a detail of officers and men from 
 the Battalion brought the ship from the Brooklyn 
 Navy Yard to a temporary berth at the foot of 
 West Seventy-ninth Street, pending the com- 
 pletion of the Battalion pier at the foot of West 
 Ninety-seventh Street, and to which she was 
 subsequently moved. 
 
 On May 28th, the "Granite State" was moved 
 from her berth at the foot of East Twenty-fourth 
 Street to the Battalion's new pier. 
 
 The Battalion celebrated the sixteenth anni- 
 versary of its muster into the State Militia on 
 June 22d, by the presentation of the "Sampson 
 Medals" to the officers and men furnished by 
 the Battalion for the crew of the "Yankee" 
 during the Spanish-American War. The medals 
 were presented by Rear-Admiral Willard H. 
 Brownson, U. S. N. 
 
 There was no ordered cniise for 1907, but the 
 23 
 
several divisions carried on boat work in launches 
 and cutters. 
 
 On October 19th, the Battalion paraded in con- 
 junction with the National Guard in honor of the 
 unveiling of the statue of Major-General Franz 
 Sigel on Riverside Drive. 
 
 After the acquisition of the "Newark," it was 
 found that she was not suited to the needs of the 
 Battalion, as her construction was so arranged 
 that she could not be used as an armory, and as a 
 cruising vessel she was too large and expensive for 
 the frequent exercising of officers and men on 
 board under way; furthermore, possession of the 
 "Newark" involved the return of the "Granite 
 State" to the Navy Department for assignment 
 to the Treasury Department for use as a hospital 
 ship for quarantine purposes; therefore, early in 
 December, the Navy Department was requested 
 by the Governor to transfer the "Newark" back 
 to the Navy, and to revoke the order transferring 
 the "Granite State" to the Treasury Department, 
 and to re-assign her to the State, and also to assign 
 one of the smaller gimboats or converted yachts for 
 the use of the Battalion. On December 20th, the 
 order transferring the "Granite State" to the 
 Treasury Department was revoked and the ship 
 re-assigned to the State. Shortly after the begin- 
 ning of the year 1908, Commander Franklin, on 
 account of business, resigned from the organiza- 
 tion leaving Lieutenant-Commander Craven in 
 command tmtil his resignation March 23, 1908, 
 
 24 
 
when the command devolved upon Navigating 
 Lieutenant Barnard until the election in July of 
 Commander A. E. Kalbach. On March 7th the 
 "Newark" was returned to the Navy Department, 
 and on May 14th, the "Wasp," a converted gun- 
 boat formerly the steam yacht "Coltimbia," was 
 assigned to the State as a cruising vessel for the 
 First Battalion. 
 
 The Battalion took an active part in the ceremo- 
 nies attending the removal from Washington, D. 
 C, and the re-burial at Kingston, N. Y., of the body 
 of Major-General George Clinton, first Governor 
 of the State and twice Vice-President of the 
 United States. On May 28th a detail from the 
 Battalion maimed the "Wasp" and fired minute 
 guns, while the remains were being conveyed across 
 the North River to New York City, and acted as 
 guard of honor to the body, which was conveyed on 
 board the "Wasp" to Kingston, N. Y., escorted by 
 converted gunboats and torpedo boats. On May 
 30th, the detail took part in the funeral pro- 
 cession at Kingston. 
 
 The Battalion having a vessel with a small coal 
 constunption, which it was able to handle with a 
 few men, the various divisions were able to make 
 short cruises which encouraged enlistments and 
 gained many recruits. 
 
 The tour of summer duty was entirely different 
 from those heretofore made by the Battahon, the 
 divisions with one exception making independent 
 cruises on board the "Wasp." The cruise of the 
 
 25 
 
First Division was made from June 6th to 14th; 
 Second Division from July nth to 19th; Fourth 
 Division from July 25th to August 2d. These 
 cruises were made east as far as Edgartown, the 
 vessel being manned entirely from commanding 
 officer to coal-passer by members of the Battalion. 
 The Third Division made its cruise on board the 
 U. S. S. "Prairie," Commander A. A. Ackerman, 
 while the "Wasp" with members of the Signal 
 Division and others not in the line divisions per- 
 formed duty in Gardiner's Bay from August 8th to 
 i6th, in conjunction with the Naval Militia of 
 other States, on vessels of the special squadron 
 for the instruction of the Naval MiUtia vmder 
 Commander C. C. Marsh. 
 
 Early in July, Andrew E. Kalbach, an ex-Naval 
 officer, was chosen as the successor to Commander 
 Franklin. On November 14th, the Battalion 
 took part in the parade at the unveiling of the 
 "Prison Ship Martyrs" Monument at Fort 
 Green Park, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
 
 At the beginning of 1909 the Battalion was 
 numerically of about the same strength as the 
 preceding year, but in spite of the efforts of the 
 commanding officer, it suffered from one of those 
 periods of apathy to which aU volunteer military 
 organizations seem to be subject. 
 
 There was no ordered cruise, but the Divisions 
 did volunteer duty afloat on board the "Wasp," 
 which did much to revive interest and esprit de 
 corps. 
 
 26 
 
By far the most important cruise of the year was 
 that of the Third Division which extended from 
 June 5th to 19th, and included a run to Bermuda, 
 made during heavy weather, which tried both 
 the ship and its crew, composed entirely of members 
 of the Battalion. 
 
 This was the first cruise of the Naval Militia to 
 foreign waters. 
 
 On June 12th, the Battalion took part in the 
 parade at the opening of the Queensborough Bridge. 
 
 Dtiring the Hudson-Fulton celebration, from 
 September 25th to October 2d, the Battalion 
 performed many and varied duties, as guards 
 and guards of honor at the various celebrations. 
 The "Wasp, " with a detail of the Battalion, acted 
 as one of the squadron which escorted the "Half- 
 Moon" and the "Clermont" in the naval parade, 
 and to Newburgh, where the detail took part in 
 the land parade. 
 
 On November 27, 1909, Commander Kalbach 
 tendered his resignation, and turned the com- 
 mand over to Lieutenant-Commander Russell 
 Raynor. 
 
 1910 started in with renewed interest and 
 activity on the part of both officers and men. 
 Recruiting was active, drills were well attended, 
 and the organization showed a more healthy 
 growth and condition than had been true for a 
 number of years. 
 
 Early in March, Lieutenant-Commander Rajmor 
 was promoted to Commander. 
 
 37 
 
The tour of duty in 19 lo was made on the 
 battleship fleet under the command of Rear- 
 Admiral Seaton Schroeder, the detail from the 
 First Battalion being divided between the "Con- 
 necticut," "Rhode Island," and "Michigan." 
 It was the first deep-sea cruise ever made by 
 the organization, the ships having been at sea 
 throughout the time that the Battalion was on 
 board. 
 
 The "Granite State" during the years that she 
 had been used as a training ship, and by the 
 Battalion, came to need considerable repairs, and 
 a Board of Survey met to consider the question of 
 condemning the vessel, but it was realized by the 
 Board that the ship as the home of the First 
 Battalion, Naval Militia, was of great value to the 
 government and to the navy and it was decided that 
 she should be thoroughly overhauled and repaired. 
 Accordingly, during the summer, she was taken 
 to the Brooklyn Navy Yard where the repairs 
 were made, and the old ship was put into such 
 condition that she will last indefinitely. 
 
 While the ship was away, a new berth had 
 been prepared alongside the bulkhead, where the 
 Battalion hopes to remain for years. 
 
 The year 191 1 commenced under the most 
 favorable auspices for the BattaHon, all hands, 
 officers and men, active, alert, and interested, and 
 thus the last period of the BattaHon's twenty 
 years augurs well for its future.

COMMANDER RUSSELL RAYNOR— 1910 
 
went in that direction. Left the fleet at noon and 
 spoke the "Yosemite," Commander Emory, off Cape 
 Cruz during the afternoon. Delivered message and 
 proceeded towards Cienfuegos. 
 
 Monday, June 13. — Off Cienfuegos. Arrived off 
 Cienfuegos. At 1.15 p.m., while lying ten miles from 
 shore, southwestward from San Juan Peak, a steamer 
 was seen close in shore to the eastward of the entrance 
 to Cienfuegos, heading to the eastward. At 1.20 
 cleared ship for action. When off Colorado Point, 
 the steamer ttimed to the westward and made towards 
 us. As we approached the stranger she was made 
 out to be the Spanish gunboat "Diego Valazquez, " 
 Lieutenant Juan de Carranza y Reguera. At the time 
 the Spaniard turned towards us we were running at 
 full speed directly towards the mouth of the harbor. 
 When about 3,000 yards off the battery at Light- 
 house Point and the Sabanilla point battery, and i ,500 
 yards off the steamer, we hoisted our colors for^the first 
 time and put the helm to port and opened fire with 
 the port forecastle five-inch gun, followed at once 
 by all the port battery; this at 1.30 p.m. As soon 
 as our helm was put to port the Spaniard made the 
 same move but turned towards the harbor at full 
 speed and at the same time opened fire upon this ship. 
 We followed her, keeping our port battery bearing 
 upon her until she was well under the protection of 
 the Sabanilla Battery. When about 4,000 yards from 
 the battery on Lighthouse Point, it opened fire. 
 At this time the Spanish gunboat "Lince," Lieutenant 
 Gomez Aguado, came out of the harbor and joined the 
 " Diego Valazquez. " As the steamer had drawn too 
 far abaft the beam to use our port guns we put the 
 helm hard aport and brought our starboard battery 
 
 III 
 
to bear upon the steamers. The forts and gunboats 
 kept up an incessant fire but our fire was so rapid 
 that the steamers withdrew into the harbor, where 
 they were joined by the gunboats "Cometa," Lieu- 
 tenant Rivero, and "Vasco," Lieutenant Enriquez, 
 which had come down from the city. After the 
 steamers had disappeared up the harbor we directed 
 our fire upon Sabanilla Battery. At 3 p.m., ceased 
 firing and withdrew. During the engagement lands- 
 man Kennedy was seriously wounded by a piece 
 of an eight-inch shell. The "Diego Valazquez" 
 was a ship of 180 tons and carried two 57 M. M. 
 Nordenfelt rapid-fire guns and two 37 M. M. Maxim 
 automatic guns. The damage to the Spaniards not 
 known. 
 
 Tuesday, June 14. — Off Cienfuegos. While lying 
 off San Juan Point during the morning a large man of 
 war was seen coming out of Cienfuegos harbor. 
 Cleared ship for action and stood in towards her until 
 she was made out to be the German cruiser, "Geier." 
 
 Wednesday, June 15. — Off Cienfuegos. Waiting 
 for the Spanish merchantman to arrive, and as she did 
 not arrive by noon, and as we were under orders to be 
 with the blockading fleet off Santiago by the i6th, we 
 left at I P.M., to join the fleet. Fire drill and abandon 
 ship during the afternoon. 
 
 Thursday, June 16. — ^At sea. Arrived off Cape 
 Cruz, Cuba. At 7 A.M., fire was reported in the star- 
 board coal bunkers ; went to fire quarters, no damage. 
 Arrived off Santiago and resumed station. 
 
 Friday, June 17. — Off Santiago, and at anchor in 
 Guantanamo. Left Santiago bound for Guantanamo. 
 Arrived at Guantanamo at 2.30 p.m., and found the 
 following ships at anchor: "Oregon," "Marblehead, " 
 
 112 
 
"Dolphin," "St. Paul," "Solace," "Suwanee," "Pan- 
 ther," and three colliers. On the hill formerly occupied 
 by the blockhouse, was an encampment from which 
 the American flag was flying, and occupied by the 
 United States Marine Corps under Lieutenant- 
 Colonel Huntington, and named Camp McCalla. 
 The Cuban flag was flying over the village at the foot of 
 the hill, which was occupied as a Cuban camp. Coaled 
 ship all night from the collier "Sterling." Kennedy, 
 Whitman, and Bogert transferred to the hospital ship 
 "Solace." The " Oregon " fired a few shots into the 
 fort and city of Caimanera, during the afternoon. 
 The "New York" and the "Iowa" arrived during the 
 evening. 
 
 Saturday, June i8. — At anchor at Guantanamo. 
 Coaled ship all day. At 6 p.m. left for Cienfuegos. 
 
 Sunday, June 1 9 . — At sea. Overhauled and boarded 
 during the day the British schooner "Union" bound 
 Montego Bay, Jamaica, to Trinidad, Cuba, and the 
 Norwegian bark "Sterling" and the British steamer 
 "Adula" of the Atlas Line bound from Cienfuegos, 
 Cuba, to Kingston, Jamaica, with a number of Spanish 
 refugees. Found the papers on all the ships correct 
 and permitted them to proceed. Arrived off Cien- 
 fuegos during the evening. 
 
 Monday, June 20. — Cruising between Cienfuegos and 
 Casilda. Arrived off Casilda during the early morning 
 and sighted a vessel in the harbor, and made her out to 
 be a white steamer with one smokestack and two masts, 
 answering very much to the description of the " Puris- 
 sima Concepcion. ' ' Stood to within half a mile of the 
 shore, near Mulas Point. At 8.30 A.M., fired a shot 
 across her bows to make her show her colors ; this she 
 failed to do and showed signs of getting under way. 
 
 "3 
 
Opened fire upon her at 4,000 yards, the nearest we 
 could approach owing to shoal water, and continued 
 firing at her until out of range. The steamer stood 
 to the eastward over the shoals we attempted to 
 follow outside but she turned behind some small cays 
 and was lost to sight. As soon as this ship opened 
 fire upon the steamer, a couple of Spanish gunboats 
 which were in the harbor came out and opened fire 
 upon us. At 9 A.M., cleared ship for action and 
 opened fire upon the gunboats and forts. At 9.30 A. m. 
 the gunboats re-entered the harbor. On account of 
 the shoals we were unable to enter the harbor to 
 destroy or capture them or the steamer. The name 
 of the largest gunboat was the "Fernando el Catolico." 
 The amount of ammunition expended was 53 five-inch, 
 ten shrapnel, and 85 six-pounder shells. Finding that 
 we could not effect any material damage as the range 
 was too great, ceased firing at 12.30 p. M., and hauled 
 off and resumed station off Cienfuegos. 
 
 Tuesday, June 21 . — Cruising, Cienfuegos to Casilda. 
 Arrived off Casilda harbor, but not finding the " Puris- 
 sima Concepcion" there or in sight, stood to the west- 
 ward. At 12.30 p. M., when about twenty miles west 
 of Cienfuegos, sighted a small party of Cubans. Sent 
 boat ashore to communicate. The boat brought back 
 the Governor of Matanzas, Colonel E. V. Zegueria, and 
 two other officers of high rank. The Cubans had come 
 to the coast in order to put themselves in communica- 
 tion with the United States forces, to ask for arms, 
 provisions, clothing, medicines, etc., for the insurgents. 
 A boatload of provisions, tobacco, and such medicines 
 as could be spared was sent ashore. The Cubans 
 informed us of the damage inflicted in our action off 
 Cienfuegos on June 13th, relating that our shots had 
 
 114 
 
riddled the Spanish torpedo gunboat "Diego Valaz- 
 quez," killing four of her crew and wounding seven 
 others. The gunboat had to be beached to prevent 
 her from sinking. During the afternoon the Cuban 
 officers were sent ashore, in the second whaleboat. 
 While hoisting the boat on its return the falls parted, 
 throwing all the crew into the sea. All were saved. 
 Stood back to the eastward and sighted the "Dixie," 
 Commander Davis, ofE Cienfuegos. 
 
 Wednesday, June 22. — Off Casilda. Tried to 
 effect an entrance into Casilda harbor during the
