THE DAUNTLESS OUT AGAIN.


New York. Nov. ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The filibustering steamer Dauntless
is again causing serious concern to
naval authorities. telegram to the
navy department from Key West.
where the cruiser Montgomery and the
gunboat Annapolis are supposed to be
on the watch, announced the sudden
arrival of the Dauntless at that point,
although ON Saturday the commanding
officer of the Vesuvius, who was watch
ing her at Jacksonville, reported her
in dock there being ceaned and painted
and generally placed in condition for
another expedition.
He thought she would be ready in
another week and wondered what steps
he would take to prevent her depart
ure If she had men and arms aboard.
and the department had scarcely in
formed him that he must follow her
out to sea and make every effort to
prevent her reaching cuba, when the
word came that she had slipped into
Key West, violating the quarantine
regulations by leaving Jacksonville
without notice and completely discon-
certing the naval officers who are
afraid she may get away from her
present berth as readily as from her
last. without any one being the wiser.
If she has men and ammunition aboard
the Dauntless Is in fine way TO
reach cuba for all the navy can do to
prevent it, since her speed makes 1t
difficult for any OF our smaller war
ships 10 catch her in the daytime and
she cau easily elude them at night.
The only sure method to prevent her
reachng Cuba in the opinion of naval
officers here, Is to destroy her.

FIGHTING WITH THE WAVES.


New York, Nov l6.-The French
liner LaGascogne on her recent trir
brought ample evidence of the storms
that prevailed upon the ocean last
week. A less staunch ship might have
had Il saddor tale to relate. The
storm began with all Its fury, Com
mander Baudelon said. on the vessels
out trip. From Nov. 7 until Sandy
Hook lightshir was sighted there
was a succession Of west and south
westerly gales with tremendous sea.
Not a minute during the trip was a
passenger safe on deck and few there
were who ventured beyond the Sc
curely barred iron doors Towering
waves boarded the big steamship
almost continuously. An the openings
were boarded up as far as possible
and port holes could not be opened for
moment.
The climax came on Thursday
morning, The vessel was pitching
and laboring badly. Suddenly there
was shock and the next moment
there was a deluge of water into the
dining room, flooding the floor, and the
alarmed passengers scurried up the
cumpanionways. The vessel had been
struck by huge mass Of water which
buried her whole forward section un-
der water stopping her progress for
the time. The waves came over the
starbourd side. According to the chief
officer there was at least G,O00 tons Of
water in the miniature tidal wave. II
struck the deck house, which is built
Of Iron nearly two inches thick The
long front iron plates were smashed
in. the iron ratings torn off the bridge,
forward deck fittings unfastened, the
bell broken, big stretches of canvas
carried away and one of the massive
iron ventilators ripped from the deck
and swept into the sea. Through the
ventilatOr opening the immense guam
tity of water rushed, finding its way
into the dining room. II fell upon the
heads Of n dozen Of men and women
who CHANGED to he there.
About % per cent of the La Gas
cogne's passengers Were sick from the
start to the finish of the trip and on
Tuesday only IS out OF the 112 pas
senEers sat down to dinner.
Other steamships which reached
here report hard fighting with the
waves. Among these was the Hmm
burg American liner California. There
were immigrants in the steerage and
the officers had lively time trying to
get them to allay their fears and
navigate the vessel. They had to be
locked up down below decks to keep
them out OF danger and mischief.

go and Nicetown have commented upon

main building at the Midvale disclosed
TO the view three unfinished castings
of the l0-inch pattern. To one side of
the furnaces upon temporary wooden
mountings were two weapons appar-
emily ready for transportation.
While this work of constructing guns
has been pushed so assiduously at the
Midvalc works. equal activity has been
waged at the bic works OF the South
wark Foundry and Machine company,
where the war department has con-
tract for ten l0-inch disappearing gun
carriages and ten l2-inch mortar car
