An Indian war is in progress at Yu
catan, and the Indians are attempting
to drive the government troops out of
the territory to which the Indians
have laid claim. The Indians are arm
ed with the latest improved rifles.
The government forces on the from
tier are being constantly augme nted.
They are being sent to Yucatan by
shiploads from all parts of Mexico,
and there is every prospect of a
bloody war. Several skirmishes have
occurred between the Indians and the
troops, but there has as yet been no
decisive battle.
Forest fires are doing an immense
amount of damage in the western part
of the state of Washington. Millions
of feet of lumber have been destroyed.
The smoke is so dense that navigation
on the sound is becoming dangerous.
The fire department of Tacoma has
been kept constantly busy fighting
the fire on the outskirts of the city
for week. Many ranches in the vi
entity of Olympia have been destroyed
and the woods to the south and west
of there are sea of flames. The little
lumber town of Later has been wiped
out. The mill was saved. Many people
south of Olympia are hemmed in and

The admiralty court has rendered
a decision that the owners of the Brit
ish steamer "CrathieO must bear the
loss of the North German LLOYD
steamboat "Elbe," sunk off the coast
of Lowestoft in January last. The
verdict exonerates the captain of the
"Crathie'' from all blame for not res
cuing the crew and passengers of the
"Elbe," inasmuch as his own vessel
was dangerously damaged by the col
lision. A warm tribute was paid by
the court to the crew of the fishing
smack ssWild Flower" who rescued
the survivors of the disaster and land
ed them at Lowestoft. The court ex-
pressed the opinion that regular boat
exercise ought to be practiced on all
large trans Atlantic vessels, and that
the individual duty of each member of
the crews of such vessels should be
better understood than heretofore.

Philadelphia has had another very
impressive object lesson in connec-
ton with the overhead wires. A
destructive fire in that city sacrificed
many lives and much property, that
might have been saved, had these
wires not been placed in the way of
those who were vigorously and hero
ically fighting this terrible element.
BOSTON did not have to suffer more
than once or twice in this way before
she took the lesson to heart, and is
now putting the overhead wires
underground in way that would do
good to the observation of beholder.
Let Philadelphia go and do likewise.

For a second time within year, the
cruiser Newark, flagship Of the South
Atlantic Squadron, has been sent away
across the ocean from the east coast
of South America to Cape Town in
Africa to find dry dock where she
could be safely cleaned and painted.
This delay and expense would not be
necessary if the Newark were sheath
ed and coppered instead of steel
bottomed ship, orif the United States
had naval dock yard, coaling station
and general rendezvous in the South
ern hemisphere.
