NO SWEEPING CHANGES,
what the New Chief OF the Bureau Of En-.
craving and Printing saws.


craving and Printing Says.
In regard to the rumors that there are
to be sweeping changes made in the force
at the bureau of engraving and printing.
Mr.. Claude NJ. johnson, the new chief Of
the bureau, said this afternoon that such
could hardly be said to be the case. He
said that 1t was his intention to raise the
character of the work turned out from the
bureau to as high a point as possible, but
that this does not necessarily imply that
there will be any considerable number Of
disrnissals from the service.
The government" said Mr.. johnson TO
Star reporter, pays the highest wages
and ii should get the very best of work.
than some business houses il grants thirty
days leave with pay, and this is really an
increase of II per cent. 1t is my opinion
that the government should have the very
best sort of work than can be done, either
by engravers or printers. and when i find
that there are incompetent men whose
places can be better filled they viii have
to go, and their places will be taken by
the best men that can be had.
In such changes the preference will be
given to democrats. Secretary Carlisle ap-
proves of my purpose to raise the charac-
ter of the output from the bureau. bu,
We have certainly not decided upon any
particular places that are to be vacated
and filled by new men. So far the new ap-
pointments that have been made were ad.
ditions made necessary by the increased
demands upon this office. The call this
175,000 day last year. This means an in
crease Of about 10 per cent in our operative
force, and since the LIST of March, when
took hold. there have been added to our
many assistants. As time passes on II
] see that changes are demanded 20 in
viii be made. but that is far as my
plans go as yet"

A Russian Cruiser Goes Down in q
TvphoOn.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, July 27-Just
before the steamship Oceanic left the
wharf at Hong Kong particulars were re-
ceived of the wreck of the Russian cruiser
Vitiaz off the coast of Corea, the an
nounce.nent of which was received by cable
at the time Two officers and ffteen Of the
crew were drowned or missing. The Vitiaz
was wrecked on reef during a typhoon In
which 1t had struggled for three days. The
news of the gale reached Hong Kong some
days prior to the receipt of the news of the
wreck.
The cruiser was on its way to Hong
Kong, and about June IL was caught by
the outer rim of the storm. 1t weathered
the gale until the morning of June II. when
the storm broke with greater violence
throwing the boat on beam ends. Several
of its guns were thrown overheard in order
to right it.
On the evening of the same day the port
propeller was damaged to such an extent
that il had to be run under a low pressure
of speed and brought about with its head
to the wind. This damage prevented ac-
curate steering, and the compasses We're
affected by magnetic disturbances. The
vessel was further disabled June 13 to such
an extent that IL was practically at the
mercy of wind and wave. The cruiser
struck the submerged reef June H.
No information about the way the greater
part of the crew was saved was received
at Hong Kong at the time Oceanic sailed.

CAPT. BoUKkE ExoNERArED.
Decision OF the Court Martial in the
Victoria Case.

Victoria Case.
VALETTA, Malta, July N-The court
martial that was appointed to inquire into
the loss of the battleship Victoria, today
rendered its decision in the case of the
Hon. Maurice A. Bourke, captain of the
Victoria. The court found that no respon-
sibility attached to Capt Bourke for the
disaster, and he was therefore acquitted of
all blame.
The prosecution closed yesterday and
Capt. Bourke began at the opening of the
court this morning to read his defense. He
reviewed the evidence In detail, paying
most particular attention to the testimony
that had been given regarding the RESPONSE
oii1ty for the disaster. He said that the
question was whether he. with Vice Ad-
miral Tryon beside him on the chart house
dependentiy. The, court alone could answer
this question. He could not say what he
should have done II Vice Admiral Tryon
that he should have taken more strenuous
action at an early period of the maneuver
without the sanction of the vice admiral
ana should have sent aft and informed him
OF what he had done.
Capt Bourke paid most eloquent tri-
butte to the behavior of everybody on
young officers, who had been cut off at the
opening of their careers. He concluded by
ors at the loss of Vice Admiral Tryon
Capt Bourke's sword was returned to
him by Vice Admiral Sir Michael Culme-
Seymour, commander-in-chief of the Medi-
terranean squadron, and president of the
court, amid general congratulations.
The court expressed regret that Rear
Admiral Markham who on the day of the
disaster was on the Camperdowu in COM
mand of the port column, did not carry out
his original intention and ignore the sigma
displayed by the Victoria. in attempting to
obey which the Camperdown rammed and
sank the Victoria.
The court added. however. that it would
be fatal to the best interest of the service
TO say that he was to blame for carrying
out the directions of the commander-in-
chief. who was present in person.
The verdict of the court martial was that
the accident was entirely due to the order
given by Vice Admiral Tryon
Not only was Capt. Bourke but all the
other SURVIVORS We're acnuitted of all blame
