War Vessels of the United states That
Have Disappeared.

Have Disappeared.
Curious disappearance and accidents
to our warships characterized the early
history of our navy, and, in spite of all
the efforts of the Ia department to
explain the cause Of the disasters,
many of them are as absolute myster-
les to-day as when they happened.
When the government built 10 new
gunboats to prosecute the war against
Tripoli, in 1905, they were sent out as
soon as they were finished and before
they were named. Each one, say Les
lies Weekly, was given a number n
dispatched to the seat of the war. No.
Z sailed from New York July 20, 1905,
under the command of Lieutenant Og-
elvie. and after h cleared Sandy
Hook Light she was never heard from
again. She went down with all on
board before she had ever been named.
A most extraordinary accident was
hat which happened to the corvette
Monongahela at Santa Cruz, in 1867.
While at anchor in the harbor a tre-
mendous tidal wave lifted her upon it's
crest and carried her clean over the
town of Frederichstadt and back again
without injuring the town or the boat
to any great extent. The receding wave
landed her on the beach instead of in
the deep waters of the harbor. and it
cost our government 100000 to float
her again. Fully as strange was the
fate of the sloop of wal Wateree. She
was anchored in the harbor of africa,
Peru. in 1868. when a huge tidal wave
swept inland and flooded the whole
city. The wave carried the sloop sew
eral miles inland and finally landed her
in the midst of a tropical forest. 1t
was impossible to release her from such
a peculiar position, and the govern
ment sold her for a nominal sum. The
purchasers turned the vessel into a
hotel, and the remains of that once
formidable war vessel loom up in the
tropical forest to-day as a monument
to the power of the tidal waves.
Among other cases of disaster, which
are attributed to the violence of the
waves or weather. there is none more
interesting than that of the strange
fate of the Saratoga. When she sailed
from Philadelphia, in October, 1880, un-
der the command of Captain James
Young, there was no finer nor hand
somer war vessel a1oat. That she was
as formidable as attractive was soon
demonstrated in a practical way. At
ter cruising around a short time she
captured three British vessels in sue
cession and then with her prizes she
started to return to Philadelphia. But
off the Delaware capes she encountered
"a British ship of line. AS the Saratoga
carried only Is guns and the Intrepid
was a 74-gun ship, Captain Young con-
sidered IL safer to run away. The en-
envy did not chase her far, but returned
to protect and recapture the British
prizes. The Saratoga sailed away in
the very teeth of a storm, and she was
never heard from again. Did she
founder at sea in the gale, or was she
blown up by her own magazines?

The Government and Its Diplomats.

From the Boston Transcript.
The attitude of our government toward
its diplomatic service is like that of an
employer who should say to his agent,
81 want you to entertain frequently and
live very handsomely, because by so do
ing you advance my interests and re-
fleet credit on me. The cost of frequent
entertainments and a handsome living
will be paid entirely by you and no
charges on their account will be honored
by me. The salary, you say, is inadequate.
but, my dear sir, have you considered
what an honor IL is to impoverish yourself
before all the world in a very high posi-
tion?''

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-09-25

From the New York Tribune.
The present movements to secure dis
charges, the perfectly true assertions that
1t is hard for men who are not profess
sional soldiers to be kept from the work
in which they must gain a living for
themselves and their families, show that
the West Pointers were right in asserting
that. however valuable the guardzmen
might be in case of need. it was a mis-
take to attempt to transform the national
guard into a volunteer army. This the
guardsmen themselves see, now that the
enthusiasm of war and the prospect of
glory are past.

ANOTHER DOG BITE.
John Merrill Bitten on the Hand by a
Little Cur.

Another case of dog bite came up
last night. This time the victim is
John Merrill, the jeweler. Mr.. Merrill
was going into a house TO repair a
clock, when a little dog rang up and
bit him on the hand.
The dog catcher did another good
days work yesterday. Nearly so dogs
lave already been gathered in, and
although there is no appreciable de-
crease in the vast army of ours, an
other week will a a noticeable diff
ference In the dog supply people are
keeping their pets in the woodshed.
That is a good idea. So long as they
are kept off the street they are not
very dangerous, but as soon as they
put in an appearance they will be COB
bled up.

publishes the following from the New
York Herald's correspondent on. the.
New York: Ea~ sz.
Deep draught and shallow water on
the one side and disposition for flight
on the other prevented the torpedo
boat Porter from destroying three gun
Doats OF the enemy. Scouting along the
coast on a rowing commission the Por-
ter carried her Investigations to La
Boca, a small port near Sagua la
Grande, in the Santa Clara province,
and on the north coast of Cuba. The
bay is dotted with small islands, and
as the Porter came in there yesterday
afternoon her commander, Lieut.. John
g. Fremont, discovered two small gun
boats and an armed steam launch pa
trolling within the water of the bay
The Porter made a dash at her foes
the moment they were discovered The
spanish boats promptly fed, and Lieut..
Fremont, greatly to his disgust, found
that the water was too shallow for him
to follow at the speed Of the fugitives.
Not wishing to jeopardiZe his vessel
for so small a game, the engines were
slowed and the crews Of the rapid fire
guns were sent to quarters and shot
after shot was sent after the Spaniards
The distance was too great and it is
not known whether any of the gun
boats were hit or not. They were too
busily engaged in getting away to re-
turn the fire.

New York, May 4. - The steamship
Yale, formerly the American liner
Paris, left her dock shortly before 6
o'clock last night under scaled orders.
When the vessel swung out from her
pier hundreds of steam vessels saluted
her With their whistles and a number
of small cannon in the vicinity doomed
salutes. On the bridge Of the Yale
stood Capt. Watkins, her former COM
mander, and by his side was Capt. w.
c.. Wise, of the United States navy. her
present commander. A Sandy Hook
pilot was also on on the bridge. The
Yale carried full supplies of stores for
an extended cruise and had 5000 tons
Of coal aboard. The last Of the provis-
ions were put in the hold just after she
sailed. A navy yard tug with the last
Of the ammunition for the rapid-tirc
guns arrived at the pier in the after
noon, and the supplies were rapidly
hoisted aboard the Yale. The last dis
tinguished mark Of the American liner
disappeared late in the afternoon when
the name Paris was painted from her
stern and the word Yale substituted in
small black letters. The. only mark

London, May 4. - In the house of

at all the government Offices, and par.
ticularly at the admiralty, the brilliant
defeat of the Spanish feet by the
Asiatic fleet of the United States at

throughout the day. The United States

all London. There was a continuous
line of callers requesting information,
the majority being Americans. The
United States ambassador, Col. John
Hay, is overjoyed at the success of the
American navy. The hotel bulletins
are surrounded with enthusiastic
Americans, many of them displaying
miniature flags at their buttonhoIes.
Many British naval officers have ex-

as to the engagement off Manila:
last night, April 80, the batteries
at the entrance to the fort announced
the arrival of the enemy's squadron,
forcing a passage under the obscurity
of the night. At daybreak the enemy
took up positions, opening with a
strong fire against Fort Cavite and the
arsenal. Our fleet engaged the enemy
in a brilliant combat, protected by the
Cavite and Manila forts. They
obliged the enemy, with heavy loss, to
maneuver repeatedly. At 8 o'clock the
American fleet took refuge behind the
foreign merchant ships on the west
side of the bay. Our fleet, considering
the enemy's superiority, naturally suf-
fered a severe loss. The Maria
Cristiana is on fire and another ship,
believed to be the Don Juan de

During the course of the discussion
which recently took place in the French
senate on the subject of the sugar du-
ties in that country, some interesting
figures were quoted showing the prog
ress of the sugar industry in the three
sugar producing countries, Germany,
France and Austria. During the year
1874-75 France produced 100000 tons of
sugar, Germany 100000 tons and Aus
tria 100000 tons, while twenty years
later France fell to the third rank, and
Germany produced 1881 900 tons, Aus
tria 1,046,000 and France 745,000 tons.
In 1873 France exported 100000 tons
of sugar, Austria $4,000 and Germany
$1,000, while in 1895 Germany exported
100000 tons, Austria 100000 and
France $4,000 tons. The consumption
in France in 1895 amounted to $4,000
tons and in Germany to $4,000 tons.
The total bounty granted in France on
the manufacture of sugar amounted in
'1884-S5 to &1,O12,000 and in 1896 to
iG2,302,0O0. The quantity of sugar
consumed per head of the population in
Germany, France and Austria amount
ed respectively to 26.7, 27.8 and 1876
pounds.

Minnesota Brigade Mas.e at the
State Capital.
81. Paul, May An army of civil
ians yesterday. 10000 strong, watched
brigade Of Minnesota's volunteer sol
d1ers, 1000 in number, march through
the streets of St. Paul to Camp Ram
sey at the state fair grounds, the first
camping place of Minnesota's quota Of
States.
It was grand an inspiring specta-
cie. It was scene that wrought to
the hlghest tension the enthusiasm Of
those that knew nothing Of the hor-
TOR, nothing but the sunshine, the tin
sci, the spectacular of war. But to
Inose among the older citizens Of the
city, those that saw Minnesota's men
march away thirty-seven years ago
this month to acquit themselves 50
ncbly in the long, bitter struggle be-
tween the North and the South, to the
men that marched from Minnesota
then, to the widows and orphans that
lost their loved ones in that struggle,
lne scene held a different prospect. 1t
was one that saddened their hearts
and brought back again wildly the
long ago.
line troops were late in starting from
the capitol because of the late arrival
OF some Of the country companies, and
it was not until II 40 o'clock that Col.
Bobleter, brigade commander. gave the
order to march. Gov. Clough and his
staff in full uniform were drawn up en-
horseback directly in front of the cap
itol, on the east side Of the street. /.
Following close on the color company
OF the Second regiment came the First
regiment, with the st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis, saltwater and Red Wing compa-
MES, preceded by the First Regiment
band of Minneapolis. When the First
had passed the Third came into line,
bringing up the rear of the column.
AS the rear of the Third regiment
passed the governor and his staff they
wheeled into line and followed the col
umn to camp. 2
