fore President Mckinney and his party had boarded
the dspatch boat The Dolphin was lying at an
Choir In midstream at the time. about TWO huhureo
wards off the One-hundred- md twenty ffth-st.

river police on board, under command OF CHp-
tain Schultze had had her hands fun all Gay
irving to keep other craft from running one an

anxious hen looking after the welfare OF a
brood of unruy chickens. she got too close 10 'he

". and slgnaled to his pilot. Bells jngled.
whistles footed and the Patrol made frantic en-
deavor to back out; but it was too late.
moment later the crash came the fatroi
bumped into the war vessel with as much indiI-
ference as she might show in the case OF common
every day tug. and. stranga to say she came OH
victorious In tho encounter. In fact, the ponce
boat knocked out the Dolphin in one round. She
struck the Dolphin on the port SIDE ana 1e d 61Tm

The Dophin's officers rushed to the SIDE OF ,ne

the crew made heroic attempt TO repel iurtn i,
attack but the Patrol was so much entanged Win
her big opponent that she could not disengage her
self if she wished to. Her fagstaff caught IN tne
rigging of the Dolphin. and the police boat cOopS
and the sta tumbled overheard. The crew rescued
the flag and both vessels then drew of to repair
damages Nobody had been injured on either SIDE
although both boats were the worse.
The Patrol was aided in her work yesterday by
six police naphtha launches loaded down with mar
Dor bluecoats. The launches patrolled the entlrc
river front from Twenty-third-st. to Grants tomb
I'm the early part of the day, and then gathered
about the Dolphin and warned the shoals of tugs
and other vessels off while the Presidential party
was being taken aboard. They performed the
same service while the President left the Dolphin
at the Fifty-second-st. pier The high wind and
heavy waves wet the police to the skin Two po-
lice launches also lowered about the Spanish war
