INITIATING THE EUROPEANS.
THE UNITED STATES NAVY TO HAVE A
SHAM BATTLE.

WASHINGTON, June 27-For the first
time in the history of this country we
are to have series Of naval maneu-
vers involving problems of actual war
fare, as presented in the attack on one
OF our great maratime forts by for
eign naval force and its defense by the
American navy. For years past Great
Britain. France, Italy and other Eu-
ropean naval powers have annually
practiced similar maneuvers, some
times, as in the case of Great Britain,
at heavy expense, but the results
have been so important as to justify
the expenditure. In the case of the
United States there has been since the
war no naval force adequate to carry
out maneuvers of any value.
The squadron OF evolution was
formed with such a purpose in view,
but until recently it was not sufficiently
numerous to undertake the solution
of the larger naval war problems, and
its operations were limited to great
gun practice and fleet evolutions with
the recent additions to the naval list
However, this obstacle has disap-
peared, and Secretary Tracy has pre-
pared a scheme to carry out his views,
which will be given effect at once.
The first movement will be to attach
the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius and
the torpedo boat Gushing temporarily
to the squadron of evolution, and
orders to that end have already been
made out.
Admiral Walker has also been di-
rected to prepare Immediately pro-
gram of maneuvers for the summer
and early autumn which will dispose
| OF the forces under his command to
| the best advantage AMI confer prac-
tical training on the officers and men
under conditions following as close as
possible those of actual warfare. 1t
is intended that the maneuvers shall
follow as soon as may be convenient.
1t is expected that the double turreted
monitor Minonomah now at New York
will be completed IN time to take part,
There will be but one torpedo boa
gagged, so that full demonstration
of the efficacy of this class of offensive
vessels cannot be thoroughly demon
strated, but arrangements have been
made to supply her with fish torpedos
which VIII thus be given their first
trial in American naval operations.
The proposed evolutions will be Of
large practical results. Defects of the
new ships, if they have any, will be
revealed and their actual capa ;ity al
offensive and defensive vessels will bt
demonstrated
Among the results of the English
naval maneuvers were revelations OIL
startling deficits in the system of coal
ing, engine construction and marine
, design, which have since been followed
by notable changes in the English
navy, and it is presumed that valuable
results will follow. Admiral Walkers

THE CLOUDBURST IN IOWA.
DESTRUCTIVE EFFECTS OF A FLOOD
IN THE WEST.

IN THE WEST
CHICAGO, June 25.-Advices receive'
at the headquarters of the Chicago
and Northwestern railway this morn
ing indicate that the destruction b.
the cloudburst in Iowa yesterday il
more of q disaster than was at frs
supposed. From the damage to it
lines reported to headquarters, it ap-
pears the deluge covers at least por'
tions of the counties of Sioux, O'Brien
Clay, Plymouth, Cherokee, Buens
Vista, Woodbury., Leesac, Monon
Crawford, Carroll, Harrison anC
Shelby, covering territory of three
counties in width along the western
border of the state and five counties in
length. Telegraph lines in this terri
tory are greatly demolished, and it is
next to impossible to get accurate in
formation of the losses. Several OF
the general officers of the road left for
the scene last night, and are making
strenuous efforts to penetrate into the
devastated region.
Their reports show the main line of
the road, the Northern Iowa division,
is demoralzed from Linn Grove to
Alton, a distance of 40 miles; that
Neville branch from Neville to Shall
Ter. 45 miles, is in the same condition,
and that the Onawa branch, from
Onawa to Ida Groves, 80 miles, is also
in bad shape. These lines aggregate
a length of 1856 miles, are entirely
blocked by the carrying away OF
bridges and washing out OF the road
beds. All traffic on this side and be-
yond the points named is being car
ried by round about lines. On the
main line, from Linn Groves to Alton

The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul road suffered severe washouts on
its Sioux City division, between Sioux
City and Mantilla, and traffic is de-
layed. On the l. and d. division some
small washouts have occurred, but not
enough to prevent the running of
trains. Telegraph lines are down on
the Sioux City division, and actual
damage is unknown.
Fort Long was carried away and ten
other bridges, five on each side OF
Waterman creek are useless or prac-
tically carried away. One bridge 1910
feet long near Pauline is gone, also
two smaller ones. At Waterman
creek the track and ties have beer
carried quarter of mile from the
roadbed. 1t is impossible to Learn
much in regard to the damage OF

No reports of damage to othe

the Illinois Central, whose line frol
Cherokee to Omaha runs along tn
Sioux river and is blockaded, and oil
ficials who left here last night hav
not been able to get across the swol

several days to put the line IN condl
