HOIST THE AMERICAN FLAG.


New York. Sept. Pa special to the
Herald from Washington says;
As an aid to expedition in placing
the cruiser Baltimore in active service
upon the arrival of the Philadelphia
from Hawaii, Acting Secretary Roose-
welt has directed that $50 men be trans
ferred from New York to Mare Island.
The Philadelphia has on board several
short term men and the men ordered
to the Pacific slope will take their
places In the crew OF the Baltimore
which will be placed in commission
with a short crew October LIST.
The orders to the Philadelphia to re-
turn home contain proviso that she
shall not leave Honolulu until Rear
Admiral Miller Is certain the japanese
cruiser Nanaiwa has started for Japan.
The navy department officials believe
the Nanaiwa has already left Hawaii.
The Wheeling. u is believed. Will reach
Hawaii in three or four days so that
the Philadelphia viii be in California
waters In fifteen days,or about October
Sth, providing the Nanaiwa has gone.
Twenty-fOur hours will probably be al
lowed for the transfer of officers and
men to the Baltimore, and six days
later or about October 18th a modern
American cruiser In splendid condition
will be at Honolulu where she can re-
main for three years If necessary. In
the meantime 1t Is proposed to keep
the battleship Oregon AT San Francisco
ready to start for Hawaii the moment
danger is reported.
HOIST THE FLAG.
The authorities have no doubt from
official Information that Japan is send
ing soldiers to the island who upon the
appearance OF seemingly good oppor-
tunity are to make an attempt to
overthrow the Dole government The
instructions to the rear admiral re-
quire him In such an emergency to
hoist the American flag and land
sailors and marines. One of the vessels
would then be Immediately despatched
to the United States for further assist
ance. Reports are in circulation that
the Wheeling has taken new instruc-
tons to Rear Admiral Miller and to
Minister Sewall. The Herald is as
sured by high authority however that
the only instructions sent to these
officials are as indicated Above-in case
of emergency land sailors and hoist

states Attorney Deenen, Assistant
states Attorney Willard and lnspec-
tor Setback had consultation this
morning at which the matter OF call
ing Fred Haines, an ex-newspaper
writer, to the witness stand was dis
cussed. Haincs is under conviction
for forgery.
The first witness called tins morning
was Mary Siemmcrlng, Luetgert's SER
want girl. for love Of whom 1t is al
legged he killed his wife. She said she
had lived with the Luetgert's seven or
eight years as a domestic. During all
that time, the witness said Luetgert
treated his wife kindly and there was
none of the quurrCling or pickering
the prosecution charged Coming down
to May l. the date Of Mrs. Luetgerts
disappearance, the witness said that on
the afternoon of that day Mrs. Luet-
CERT said to her: MARY 1 am going to
leave. My husbands money is all gone,
and l am going too The witness said
that Mrs. Luetgort had acted queerly
for some time prior tO May /, and had
often whipped her children. With seem
show of feeling the witness said she
was arrested and taken to the East
Chicago station, where she was kept
two days. She said the officer who
arrested her called her a liar when she
said she did not know where Mrs. Luet-
CERT was, and at the station the matron
took all her clothing from her. While
at the station Inspector Setback and
Assistant States Attorney McEwan
questioned her sharply accusing her
of improper relations with Luetgert,
which she denied. She testified:
inspector Setback said to me: The
old man (meaning LuetgerD will
never see the light OF day again and
If You don't tell the truth I'll punish
you. Wen lynch you and Luetgert to-
gether, and he held up his hands and
showed me how It would be done"
The witness with a show of spirit
denied that she ever visited Luetgert
in his factory at night, except In the
evening occasionally when others We're
present. She denied cmphatically that
she ever when into the factory through
a window or that Luetgert was in the
habit of kissing her when she was in
his office. She declared that Mrs. Feldt
was busybody and that her story was
untrue.
States Attorney Deenen went at
Mary Siemmering on cross eXamlna-
ton in a lively manner The rapidly
of the states attorneys questions
seemed to stun the witness, who soon
became confused and made damaging
admissions, but she persisted in her
denial that she had IN any way been
guilty of improper conduct with Luet-
CERT.

GUNBoAT FOR THE YUKON.
United States WIN Maintain Order There
by Military Force.

New York, Sept. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Acting Secretary Roosevelt favors
the assignment OF naval vessel to
the Yukon river for patrol duty.
The suggestion has been made by
William c. NJ. Story of the navy, that
a stern wheeler be ordered detailed by
the government and sent to the Yukon
to patrol that stream beginning next
spring. Lieut.. Story's scheme also
contemplates the establishment of
three stations ON the Yukon. one ut
each end and the third in the center,
at each of which will be stationed
about twenty marines. a surgeon and
an officer. He points out that lawless-
ness has prevailed to an alarming eN-
tent in Alaska and that a naval force
is absolutely necessary to suppress
disorder Mr.. Roosevelt opposes the
suggestion that the revenue cutter
service can maintain order in Alaska
as well as the navy.
1.-THE conditions which will almost
inevitably arise on the Yukon river
when that avenue of communication
opens up In the spring Will" he said,
"be such as to call for the presence of
military duty under military disci-
pline. The officers and men of the
revenue marine service are excellent
seamen and most efficient In the per-
Torrance of their duty but this duty
calls for something outside of the
scope of their training and experience.
1t calls at once for the sailor, and in a
measure the civil officer.
should channel be discovered suf-
ficient to admit n revenue cutter, one
of our light draught gun boats could
enter with equal safety, and once
there would be the more effective
craft"
No one doubts at the navy depart
ment that Mr. Rooscvelt's views will
be adopted by Secretary Long. In
such case 1t is believed that the
Eunboat Wheeling, now on her way 10
Honolulu. will be used for patrol work
in the Yukon, as 1t is intended TO send
her to Alaskan waters as soon as the
Baltlmore arrives at Honolulu.

Thus far these suits have been con-
