given any sort of a real test and was
utterly condemned by naval officers for
no reason at all. 1t was only after the
hardest kind of a fight that the govern
ment could be induced to build her and
then she was a step-child and was
blamed with everything. About four
or five years ago the board in Washing
ton concluded she was useless and de-
cided to tear out her dynamite guns
and turn her into a little gunboat.
Fortunately, they had no money
available with which to dismantle and
refit her and she lay around awaiting
destruction until the war broke out and
there was such a demand for vessels
of all kinds that she had-to be put into
commission. 1 hear that even after her
arrival at Santiago her commander had
to beg to be allowed to have a shot at
the Spaniards and he was finally per-
mitted to fire just three shots, one from
each of her guns. The results seem to
have been remarkably successful I
believe she will create a revolution in
naval warfare, at least with regard
to vessels of her size and kind"

STILL BESIEGED.
An Army of Place Seekers Hangs
About the President.

Washington, June 1.-THE president
went through the usual routine of hearing
pleas for army and navy appointments to-
day There were many members from
both houses of congress who came to ad-
vance the interests of their candidates
All were calling for minor appointments,
including Senators P1att and Pritchard
and Representatives Bennett and Hurley
of New York, Tate Of Georgia and Evans
of Kentucky. A number of the Illinois
delegation in the. house, reinforced by
Comptroller Dawes, urged on the preSt-
dent the appointment of Mr.. Bigelow Of
Chicago as paymaster in the army.
Representative Little of North Carolina
presented H. r. Proxton of North Caro-
lima to the president and asked for his
appointment as a major and Quartermas-
ter in the army.
The cabinet convened at II a. m. Sec
rotary Gage walked over from the treas
ury and had an opportunity for minute s
chat about the bond issue before his col
leagues got together.
The president is in very. fair health
despite contrary reports. Today he held
a public reception and also received an eX-
cursion delegation of teachers and stu
dents of the normal school at ShippenS-
burg, Pa.

M'KINLEY FEELS CERTAIN
OF Favorable Action on Hawaiian An
n1xation and is Preparing for It.

New York June IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Vigorous efforts are to be made to
get the Hawaiian annexation resolution
through the senate by the end of next
week.
Annexation within the next two
weeks is now considered so certain that
for formally taking possession of the
islands and raising the American flag
over tic m. This duty is to be enrrust
ed to Rear Admiral Miller, commanding
the STA tic station, and extraordinary
haste is being made to prepare the
cruiser Philadelphia for sea, so that he
will have a creditable flagship when he
goes TO Honolulu.
Just what the ceremonies connected
with the transfer of the islands from
the government of Hawaii to that of
the United States will be depend largely
upon circumstances. There will be a
salute to the flag by the rear admirals
flagship and a land parade of sailors
and marines.
If the senate acts by Saturday of
next week it is probable that the rear
admiral will arrive at Honolulu while
the third Philippine expedition is still
be landed and there will be quite an
imposing parade of the land and naval
forces of the United States.
Pending legislation by congress the
government of the islands is to be
vested in such persons as the president
shall direct. 1t is understood that the
president will appoint President Dole
to be the first governor of the islands
under the United States, and that Rear
sion to him when ne goes out to raise
the flag

A PANIC IN CAMP
5000 Horses and Mules SIAM
pede at Tampa
And Rush Through General
Carpenters Brigade.
MEN BEGIN TO SHOOT
But This Only Makes the Stu
alton Worse.
Back and Forth the Excited
Animals Went.
Large Amount of Camp Equi-
page Destroyed.

Washington, June IA special to
the Post from Tampa, Fla. says:
At 10 o'clock last evening 5000 horses
and mules broke from their corrals and
stampeded through the camps of Gen
eral Carpenters brigade. 1t was so
dark and the excitement was so great
in the District of Columbia camp it was
impossible to learn if any men We're
hurt. The panic among the men was
terrible. Officers tried to get their COM
panies into line, but the army of wild
horses made that impossible. Many
men began shooting at the excited ami
mails but this only excited them more.
The horses seemed to be attracted
by the tents, and they rushed through
the brigade of three regiments and then
back again, taking a different course
each time. They destroyed many tents,
kitchen and camping paraphernalia.
1t is not known what started the
animals on their wild rush. Taps had
just sounded in all the camps, and the
bands. had played their good nights.
The men were hardly asleep when
loud cracking like the firing of gattling
ing down of the corral fence, a high
wooden affair.
In the next moment the Infatuated
and painting horses rushed into the
New York camp which was nearest the
break in the fence. The rush sounded
like thunder storm. The New York
camps sentinels began to yell like
mad: Call out the guard; call out
the guard" The guard hurried out,
but it was useless, the animals were
then rushing over everything in their
path. In half an hour the camps had
been stampeded three times and there
seemed no hope of driving the beasts
away from the breach. Forty men were
mounted by IL o'clock and they were
able to steer the horses from the camp.
Nobody Hurt.
Washington, June IA special to the
Star from its correspondent with the
District of Columbia volunteers at
Tampa, Fla, says: mo one was hurt
by the stampede in the District camp

conditions probably governed the rally
thoroughly as they have previous declines
sustain confidence, but so it was in the
last three days when prices steadily de-
clined. The most striking feature of the
war news is the emphasis with which it
brings out the fact that a great deal of
hard work is yet to be done before the
