Denver. Aug. 34.-The Republican
this morning says:
Private Charles Phenlx IL dead. The
cabled story Of the deed which made
him the hero OF the Colorado regiment,
said that he hnd been killed In the act
Of hauling down the Spanish nag from
the breastworks mt Maite, August 18th.
Later, Merritts official report OF the
dead failed to report his name. and the
whole state hoped that Colorado might
cheer Phenix IN the flesh. rather than
to raise monument to his memory.
But the additional advices received
yesterday are that PhtniX is dead, har-
Ing succumbed to his wounds In hos
pital three days later.
When phenix fell. Sergeant Richard
Holmes Of Company l planted the
American flag in triumph. The first
story went ON to say that PheniX was
buried by his comrades, but the OH
cial report goes 10 show that he lin
gered In hospital for three days inter
the battle.
A movement to build n suitable mon
ument 10 Phenix's memory was started
on the first receipt Of the news. but the
matter was held in allegiance when the
hpupt as W uioS'.
Now, doubtless. II will soon crystallize
Into definite action.
Private Frank Smith Of Company u
and Robert Mcdonald OF Company X
are the only members of the First Colo
RADIO reported wounded whose nearest
relatives live In the state. according to
the roster prepared by the Soldiers
Aid Society. Smiths father is John
Smith OF Boulder. General Mcrritt's
report places Smith in Company +. but
this is evidently mistake as there is
no Smith In Company +.
McDonald's next friend Is given ns
ii. NJ. Mcdonald of Denver. His name
does not appear in the directory.
Private Edward +. Brady. Company
Is, has for his nearest connection L.
Brady Of Lawrence. Kansas.

arranged that the San Francisco shall ac-
company the new naval acquisition across
the Atlantic to this country.
The two vessels will start on their voy-
age as soon as the An.azonas can be made
ready, which is not expected to consume
more than a lew days. The election of n
commander of the ship has been left TO
Admiral Howell commanding the Euro
pean station, who is now on the San Fran
cisco, and the probability is that the duty
will devolve upon the executive officer of
that vessel.
Although the United States has already
the other Brazilian warship purchased for
weeks before that. vessel is in complete
readiness for sea service.
In the meantime arrangements will be
made to supply her with officers and a
crew, so that there may be no delay in
her departure for the United States.
While it is known that the Secretary of
the Navy is negotiating for the acquire
ment of other warships building in Euro
pean yards. Secretary Long is authority
for the statement that no others have as

have considerable to say about this and
other street railroad bills that are now
pending before Congress. These bills grant
the companies the most extensive extern
sions of their lines which have ever been
given during a single session of Congress
Senator Pettigrew Will endeavor to have ali
the bills amended so that the franchise for
extensions may be a limited one, and at the
expiration of a certain term of years may
give the government an option to either
purchase these roads and operate them in
the future as municipal enterprises, or to
again lease them on Terms to be determin-
ed upon at that time. Mr. Pettigrew will
also endeavor to have a provision inserted
in these bills which will prevent the water
ing OF stock or the paying OF excessive divi-
dends to the stockholders. He will also
have a provision in regard to the taxation
OF the companies which will give the gov
ernment q larger return of revenue from
that source.

TRANSFER OF TORTUGAs.
Surgeon General Wyman Comforting
With other officials.

With other Officials.
The transfer of the Island Of Tortugas
from the jurisdiction of the Treasury De-
partment to the War Department has not
yet been effected, though the marine hos
pital authorities assert their readiness to
vacate whenever the necessity arises.
Surgeon General Wyman was comforting
with the other officials today as to the
plan to be pursued upon the REIMBURSEMENT
of the quarantine station at Tortugas, and
went carefully over number of PROPOSE
tions looking either to the establishment of
another station in that general neighbor-
hood or the enlargement Of some of the ex
isting stations to meet the loss of its SER
vice at Tortugas. As yet there Is no def
mite action determined upon as to this
point.
DR.. Wyman said today he did not care to
do anything that might be looked upon as
obstruction to the plans. but SO far as
possible and consistent the "aeds of the
marine hospital service and he responsible
work dependent upon 1T should be consid
cred and attended to in ton with the
transfer Of the island. He had no plans
fixed yet, but, If necessary, the service
could be removed from the island in twen-
ty-four hours on an emergency.

TO IMPROVE THE SERVICE.
Naval Needs Considered by the House
Committee.

Naval Needs Considered by the House
Committee.
When Secretary Long was before the
naval committee yesterday in the course
of his remarks he recommended the pa IS
age Of the bill for the reorganization of
the personnel Of the navy which was pre-
pared by the board of which Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt was president. He
said 1t would be a good time to remove the
strife which has been caused for SO many
years between the officers of the line and
staff by the existing conditions and would
also provide some additional officers now
urgently needed for the ships which are
going into commission. But the matter
was not particularly pressed. Nothing was
said about the Presidents Endorsement of
the measure.
1t is likely that the committee will take
up the consideration of the bill after the
naval appropriation bill is completed. The
committee is generally favorable to the in
creases asked by Chief Engineer Melville
Paymaster General Stewart and Surgeon
General Van Reypen.
Chief Engineer Melville asked for an in
crease of 1O7 engineer officers, and when
Mr.. Boutelle suggested that 100 additional
machintsts might meet the demands of the
engineer department he made no strong
protest. Some of the members Of the naval
committee are becoming very impatient
over the long delay III completing the bill.
and strong effort will be made to settle
the dock question today. Several of the
members have decided to support a propo-
sition for four new docks.
Secretary Long today sent to Chairman
Boutelle a provision to be inserted in the
naval bill Incorporating the recommenda-
tions he made yesterday as to assistant en-
gineers or skilled machinists, assistant pay
masters and assistant surgeons being in
creased in number.
For n Naval Training Station.
The Senate committe on naval affairs to-
day authorized a favorable report on the
amendment to the naval appropriation bill
approprtating 100000 for a naval training
station on Yerba Buena Island, California.

SENIOR QUESADA.
Gossip Over His Attendance at the
Vice PresidenCs Reception.

Considerable gossip was excited today by
the fact that Senor Quesada, the secretary
of the Cuban junta, was one of the guests
at the reception of the Vice President to
Prince Albert last evening. Senior Quesada
has been the recipient of much social at
tention in Washington, but the almost Of
hcial character of this reception by the
Vice President to the heir presumptive to
the throne of Belgium renders his invita-
ton, in the opinion Of the cossips rather
broad recognition. In any other country
than this it woul1 be regarded, it is said,
as equivalent to a sem-ofticial recognition
of his status as foreign representative.
