For tho last few days certain newspaper

NORFOLK, Va. March s.-To-morrow. the thir.
ty-sixth anniversary of the famous Monitor
Merrimac conflict, will find Norfolk preparing.
seemingly, for another baltic between iron.
clads. At the navy yard 400 men are working
like bees. and the number is being increased
daily. No further orders have been received AS
to work on the Newark. but it is probable that
when the repairs to the Puritan and torpedo boat
Footc have been completed this week the force
at work on them will be transferred to tho
cruiser.
The appointments are from the civil service
list. Constructor Stahl Of this yard has been
summoned to Washington. 1t is believed he is
wanted to give exact information to the de.
partment at Washington as to what he can do
toward rushing work on the Newark, IL ncces-
Bary. as well as to give the capacity OF the yard
in case of an emergency. The famous Rip.Itaps,

Eight or the Civil War Fighters HAULED Out
or the MUD.

PHILADELPHIA, March s.-1he old single.
turret monitors of the rebellion were pulled out
Of their bed Of mud in tho back channel at
League Island to-day. They have heen en-
bedded II .the mud for years. The task of get
ting them loose was begun early in the day by
a Government tug. The Manhattan was pulled
out first. 1t was a hard fight, but the tug was
powerful and the monitor came finally. She
floats all right when she Is out OF the mud. The
others were then pulled out, eight altogether,
and towed to the reserve basin TO undergo tests.
The Manhattan and Mahopac, two of tho
largest, are 2l2 feet long and go feet wide.
They draw nine and a half feet of water. The
smaller ones have a little less length. They
are very low In the water. showing only four or
five inches Of their hull plates, like a ribbon OF
black around the edges of the deck. An officer
at the, yard says they are still good as harbor
defenders,
The Columbia was surrounded in the dry dock
by Il crowd Of workmen, who were rapidly
painting her sides and bottom a dark brown,
and above many more were busy taking sup.
plies on hoard and removing ashes. Who the
commander of this boat will be has not been
announced, but IT Is generally supposed mat no
will be Capt. Sands, who was formerly in
charge OF both the Minneapolis and Columbia.
Both the katuhdin and the Miuntonomoh will
he put into, commission on Thursday morning
