 The news of the crime spread rapidly yes- terday afternoon and soon a posse of in- furiated citizens was formed and the woods were secured for the black brute.

Bids for Floating Docks

Washington,' July 12-The navy depart ment today asked for bids for two floating docks, the two not to cost exceeding S2,- 500 GOO as provided by congress. Chief Bur dette of the bureau of yards and docks has been very anxious to get some of these floating structures in order to send them down to the gulf and possibly to Cuba, where our cruisers, gunboats and auxiliary craft could be docked in them without the necessity of sending the ships to the north ern docks. There are a number of floating docks in view and it is expected that two of them will be secured under the bids asked for today without waiting to build such structures. Two such docks are To- cated at New York and two more in and about New Orleans. The officer of the bu- reau Is now in New Orleans looking over the docks there in anticipation of their being offered to the government. It is ex- pected that the two docks to be chosen will be in the service of the United States with in a fortnight, as there will be no delay in receiving bids.

THREE TRANSPORTS
 AT CHARLESTON

Charleston, s. C., July 1f.-Three trans ports were reported off the bar this morn ing. At 1 o'clock the Resolute came up to the quarantine flying a yellow flag. She cast anchor there and few moments later the lighthouse tender Wistaria went out to her with orders to proceed to Newport News. She did so at once. An hour later the Grand Duchesse and the "No. 3O' came in and were docked. The work of loading the transports here on them will begin to- morrow. It has not been positively decided tonight which two of the three regiments here will go on the two ships. The Six teenth Pennsylvania will probably be one of those selected, but choice between the Second and Third Wisconsin has not yet been made. The ships will get off early to- morrow.

 assault will be unnecessary through Toralis surrender before it begins.
 Inmunes Going to the Front
 Perhaps the spread of this belief, caused by knowledge'of the more energetic work in prospect, that rumors of the appearance of yellow fever in the American camps caused some alarm. Regarding the future of Santiago nothing has been fully stated, but it is significant that orders were is- sued from the department this afternoon to prepare the First and Second regiments of volunteer immunes for immediate de- parture for the front.
 This would seem to be indicative of a purpose to garrison Santiago with fever proof men after it's equalization.
 Turning to the far east it was refresh ing to receive today good news again from Dewey. In fact, it is beginning to be re- marked that that officer is usually able to make delicious reports. The admnistra- tion is very much pleased with the readi- ness shown by the admiral in meeting the grave issue presented to him at the Subig bay, and just reported as he did. Naval officers, too were not little gratified at
 
 cruiser Irena after the appearance of the Raleigh and Concord.
 The Irene Much Superior sn
 A comparison of tEe ships shows that the Irene was much the superior to either of the two American vessels, and in ton- mage was almost as large az the Raleigh and Concord together. From this 1t is in- ferred that the retirement of the Irene was from motives of German policy rather than from an indspo5tion to try conclu. sions with the two American ships. The Irene is a protected cruise, built of Steei, with three screws, two tunnels and two military masts; 4,f)) tons; her protected deck is of steel three inches thick. Her armament consists of fourteen 6-inch guns, eight 1-pounders, four torpedo tubes and one torpedo vidette boat. The Raleigh has a protected deck of 1A inches thickness and tke Concord a protected steel deck of 1 Is inches.
 Together the two American boats have about forty guns, four Gatl'ng guns and eight torpedo tubes. In arnor the German ship was much greater than the Ameri- cans, but in guns the Americans had the advantage in number and general effective ness.
 In official quarters here there appears to be no disposition to look upon the action of the Irene as a menace that will require explanation. It was thought at first that this outward show of force upon the part of the German ships would lead to an in quiry by this government as to the pur- pose of Germany. Thus far, however there is no disposition to make such fn- quiry, or to attach serious import to the incident.

This is not true, and the boys of the First think they are dolng more for Flagler than he will ever do for them. As one expressed it yester- day' they are clearing an acre of ground per day for the magnate.

SCHlEY WAS OBSTINATE.

Sensational Story of Commodore schNey
Printed by the Chicago Tribune
Chicago, Oct. I5-The Tribune says
that one OF the greatest sensations of the
war is our at last. 1t prints an article to
day stating that Commodore Schley was
about to be recalled from the Cuban
coast in disgrace at one tina and that
only the presidents clemency saved him.
The story is claimed to have come out
at St. Louis last night. 1t seems tina t
Commodore Schley, when he left Key
West, was possessed OF the idea that
Cervera would attempt to put in at Cien-
fuegos and he proceeded to that point
to wait for him. Meanwhile Cervera
put in at Santiago.
The first news of Cervera's arrival at
Santiago was accldently given out by
the operator at Santiago. He inadvert-
antly let it slip when communicating
with Key West, and from there it was
reported to Washington. The auxiliary
cruiser Harvard was at once despatched
to order SchIey to Santiago and met him
on his way back TO Key West.
When the Harvard and the Brooklyn
met stormy scene ensued and Schley
for some time refused to accept the or
der from a subordinate. Finally, how
ever, he obeYed and returned to Santi-
ago where he found the Spanish feet
imprisoned.
1t is stated that the cabinet was unanl
mously in favor of relieving Schley of
his command and substituting Watson.
1t was then that the president urged
clemency,i it is stated, and contended that
as long as nothing serious had resulted
Schley should be left in commend

The New Reading Room.

The directors of the reading room
have arranged a very interesting pro-
gram for the dedication OF the new
rooms this evening a, o'clock, to which
all are cordially invited. The town
needs the stimulus and education which
come from a fine public library and
reading room. There has been good and
untiring work done by a faithful few for
several years, but now 1t is time for the
town itself to lend hand.
The city is promising to lend substan'
tial aid tire ensuing year and Boulder
ought in the near future to be able &c
point with pride to library and its cir
culation. The first thing now is to show
interest and appreciation of that already
accomplished. Let there then be full
attendance at the exercises this evening
at the library.

RooSeyelt'S Task.

Those who are confident that Col
Roosevelt will easily carry New York
are setting before him a task which Gen.
Grant could not perform in 1868. Gov.
Seymour carried the great state by 10,
600 majority, and the fact remains one OF
the curiositles of the period. But it was
not curiosity in New York politics,
The many complications which enter in
to campaigns in that state render 1t very
doubtful at any time whether the voice
of the voters will be in accord with the
opinions of the mass of the country
The Republican nominee for governor
will achieve an unsurpassed triumph if
he is elected.-Provldence Journal.

Mohegan are Lost.
London, Oct. I5-Sixty five passengers
and crew of the i'll fated Mohegan are
safe while from 100 to ITO are known tc
be missing and are believed to have
perlsbed. The Mohegan, formerly the
Cleopatra of the Wilson and Furness.
Leland line, bound from London to New
York, went ashore off the Lizard.
The cause of the destruction is mvs.
terry. No one is able to account for the
wreck.
The sea was running high but to have
run on the rocks where the vessel did
would have been far out of its course.
1t is believed that the machinery was
out of order and that the ship became
disabled. The accident was so sudden
that the passengers and crew went down
with the wreck.
A life saving crew from Falmouth
saved fourteen persons from the rocks.
A tug boat picked up one man that had
been in the water seven and one-half
hours. He said that the people were at
dinner when the sh ock came.
Captain Griffith remained at his post
and the crew acted heroically. Two
boats were loaded with women and chill
dren, but it is not known whether they
were saved 1t Is thought Captain Grif-
fifth went down with his ship.
Ancng the passengers was Mrs. S. c.
Crane, wife of Stephen Crane, the novel
ist.
One Of the Stewards says that the boil
ers leaked and were in such bad condl-
ton that some of the passengers were
dubious about starting on the vessel.
