CAPT. HEALY's DENIAL.
Makes Light of Charges Filed Agains


Him.
A San Francisco dispatch says Capt. NJ.
A. Healy OF the U. S. S. Bear Is preparing
to defend himself against the charges filed
at Washington by number of officers who
were in the Boring sea- patrol this year.
Capt. Healy is inclined to make rather light
of the matter, and neither he nor the Off
GERS of the Bear are prepared to make pub
lie any details of the alleged troubles. He
says it Is untrue that he even arrested an
officer and then ordered that no entry Of
the arrest be made in the log. He also de-
MED that he insulted an American officer
while on board the Pheasant.
