A NARROW ESCAPE
Two johannesburg Miners Drop Fifty.
Five Feet

JOHANNESBURG. April 29.-Lester
Stevens and fellow workman had a mar
row escape from instant death. The men
were employed by the Yellow Aster conf
pany at their wells lately purchased from
e. NJ Shilling, and were being hoisted in
the bucket from the bottom of the well
When they were about fifty-five feet from
the bottom the brake on the whim re-
fused to act and the bucket and men
dropped to the bottom of the well. The
frantic efforts of the men on the surface
to stop the bucket prevented it dropping
as swiftly as it would otherwise have done
and the presence Of water in the bottom
also aided in preventing instant death. AS
1t was, Mr.. Stevens was badly bruised and
hurt internally. Word was sent to Rands-
burg for team and physicians and the
injured man was brought to the hotel,
where he was made as comfortable as
possible until tram time, when he las TAX
en- to his parents home in Los Angeles.
The other mans fall was broken by Mr.
Stevens, and he was not seriously injured

balloons for extended marine observa-
tion. lie says the suggestion has been
laid before the naval board Of strategy.
Under clear skies observers on ship
board, aided by the most powerful
glasses, can cover horizon range OF
only 80 miles. Mr.. Fleischman suggests
that balloons capable of sustaining sew
eral observers should be carried by the
larger scouting cruisers, such as the
Yale and the Harvard. Whenever deem
ed advisable, these balloons could be
raised from the vessels decks, secured
by stout cables. From the balloons to
the deck telephone or telegraphic COM
munication should be established. The
balloon could rise to a height to cover a
much greater range than the best glass

DEWEY AT FORT FISHER.
How He led q Force Of Marines In the
Gallant Charge.

Few If any officers in the naval serv-
Ice are held in greater esteem. alike by
personnel and enlisted men, than Com
modore George Dewey. Embracing at
once the combined qualities of kindly
consideration for his subordipates and
prompt intrepidity in the houfof emer-
gency, he is most admirably fitted for
his position as a leader of men.
During the seven years of my connec-
ton with the navy / naturally heard
many Of the foremost commanding Off
GERS more or less discussed, and / can
recall only sentiments of the warmest
commentator for Commodore Dewey.
He is to the navy what General o. o.
Howard was to the army-a firm yet
thoughtful disciplinarian and men
have the profoundest respect and ad-
miration for commander of this type
Commodore Dewey has a creditable
war record, having been with Farra-
CUTS fleet when il ran the gantlet Of
Confederate batteries and torpedoes on
the Mississippi from New Orleans to
Memphis. Later on he was attached to
the north Atlantic blockading squad
ron, where he did efficient duty as q
signal officer. But most noteworthy Of
his achievements was at the storming
Of Fort Fisher, he having participated
in both attacks upon this stronghold.
In the latter assault Commodore Dewey,
then lieutenant succeeded in effecting
landing with large force Of sailors
and marines, and in the gallant charge
which followed one of his brother Off
GERS and 80 men were lost. But, un-
needing the destructive fire which raked
their advancing columns, they swept
irresistibly on and carried the enemy's
outer works. 1t was fitting that the
close of struggle SO replete with gal
liant deeds should be marked by SO brave
an exploit, and not less SO that the
great naval victor of the present war
should be one of the valiant heroes who
shared in its honors. de Olivares

An Old Seaman Says That Dewey's Ma
neuvering Was Alone a Great Feat.

An Olu seaman says lnht DeWeys MA
neuvering Was Alone Great Feat.
Roundsman Patrick A. Meehan of
the bicycle squad, to whom the New
York police board granted leave of alb
sence to volunteer for service in the war,
is an old United States seaman and has
often been in the harbor Of Manila. He
said recently in regard to the battle
there:
"The greatest miracle of it all to me
is the wonderful maneuvering Of the
vessels in the inner harbor. The water
there in some places is Q q fathoms and
few feet away it is only few feet deep.
1t requires an expert to navigate the
treacherous waters of the harbor, the
shoals in which are almost as danger
Gus, if not more so, as the passage over
the mines. The Americans must have
had some of the insurgents on board
who knew the harbor we'll and were
able to tell them how to avoid the
shoals. Those shoals are more danger
Gus to vessel of the tonnage Of man
of-war than batteries and torpedoes
All the waters about the Philippines
are this way. I have seen large mer-
chantmen wait a long time for expert
pilots to get them into and through the
shoal waters of Manila harbor In safe
ty.
"With all that Commodore Dewey
had to contend against it is really won
derful what he did. The Spanish vessels
probably stood still because they had no
expert pilots. Any one who has been in
Manila harbor can realize what mean
when say the result Of the battle
seems to me more like miracle than
ANYTHING else. New York Tribune.
