Floating DrYdOCk Bought.

Washington, July 26.-Chief Endicott
of the bureau of yards and docks, has
just returned from New York, where he
succeeded in arranging for the purchase
by the government Of a floating dry
dock, a naval adjunct very much need
ed at this time The dock is capable OF
lifting vessels up to 1900 tons displace-
ment, which will bring within it's scope
most of the gunboats of SIMPSONS fleet
and a large number of the auxiliary
vessels.
This dock is not sectional, but in one
piece, so that it may be easily towed to
the point most available for naval use.
The first journey will be to Key West,
where the navy department has found
a suitable site, with plenty of water,
in what is known as Quartermaster's
harbor, cove not far distant from the
town. The dock will be started on its
way at the earliest possible moment.

ut is not intended by this statement
to reflect upon the character of the Gu
bans or their ability for self govern
ment, but this rule would and shouiu
be applied in all conquered territory.
1t could not be conceded for moment
that the United States forces should go
on capturing communities in CUBA ana
then turn them over while the war eX-
listed to an element that had not peeh
able themselves to effect the capture.
The position of the government in THIS
Is believed to be exactly in accord with
the most advanced principles of govern
ment during the time of war, ana IL IS
therefore improbable that any change
will be made in the status in Santiago
until peace is attained"
A Letter From Mrs. Porter.
From Santiago Mrs. John Addison
Porter, wife of the secretary to the
president and now with Miss Clara Bar
ton in Cuban relief work. has written a
personal letter describing conditions
there. 1t was written a week after the
great battles of Ell Caney and San Juan.
The Red Cross was then aiding in the
care of wounded and feeding the fugl-
tives from Santiago. The Spanish
wounded captives expressed much graf
ltude that they We're given the same at
tention as the Americans.
One surgeon who dressed the wounds
of 200 American and Spanish soldiers
told Mrs. Porter that nearly all the
Spaniards were hit two and three times,
while, as a rule, the Americans re-
ceived a single wound, indicating the
difference of craftsmanship. AT THIS
time everybody was busy caring for the
sick and wounded. The American dead
had been buried, but the trenches were
full of dead Spaniards, whose bodies
foated on the surface of the water
caused by the rains and filled the air
with sickening odor.
She cites instances Of Spanish barbar-
ity and says in several instances men
were shot dead as they lay in Red Cross
filters on the way to hospitals. This
firing went on so INCREASINGLY that the
surgeons operated by moonlight. They
We're afraid to light candles or lanterns,
as Spanish sharpshooters would have
picked them off. Commissions author
izing this dastardly work, she writes,
We're found on the bodies Of some of
these guorrillas.
The letter speaks of the high estimate
the private soldiers have for General
Wood and Colonel Roosevelt who, they
| say, always have a good word to say tC
them. The white soldiers also pay trib-
ute to the bravery Of the colored troops
but complain because the Cubans ia
miliar with Spaniards tactics, did not
prevent the Spanish bushwhackng.
