LIKE FINDING IT.

Increase of salaries in many of the
government offices is a matter of more
than ordinary interest to those af-
fected by the change Not only does
the increase apply in future, but "he
fortunate will draw the extra stipend
for the six months back to the 1st of
January.
Take for instance the Cabinet
Ministers. whose salaries have been
advanced from $500 to Sc, 900 a year.
In place of drawing the customary
sum of 1915 for July, they will ''pock-
ct" $500 for routine salary and $3.50,
being the additional sum voted for
the six months, to the beginning of
the period, or a total of $1.25O.
With the under clerks, where the
money, in many cases. is most need
ed, there will be extra checks rang
ing from 500 to $3.50. As pay day for
June has already passed it is not like
ly that the back salaries created by
the new bill will be turned over until
the next pay day, which is July 18th

ISLAND CRAFT FOR MANILA
HELENE AND CLAUDINE MAY
CONSORT THE MONTERREY.
Offer of Wilder & Co., Guaranteeing
tive Crews May be Accepted.

The offer of Wilder's S. S. Co. TO
be accepted.
Though work has been constant on
the engines and boilers of the Brutus
ever since she returned to her anchor
age, Wednesday afternoon, they are
not in condition to warrant starting.
There is grave doubt whether they
can be put in condition.
The Brutus was built sixteen or
eighteen years ago. Her engines and
boilers have seen constant service ev-
er since with only such repairs as
were absolutely necessary. They are,
in "A sense, worn out.
When the United States bought the
collier she was taken to Mare Island.
and only such repairs were made as
were obviously necessary. The hurri-
ed condition of work there and the
anxiety to get the Monterey on her
journey We're probably responsible
for this.
For two days now the engineers S
force on the Brutus has been dill
gently at work. rest has scarcely been
taken day or night. Several times re-
pairs have been completed that it
was thought would enable her to put
to sea. But no sooner was steam got
ten up again and a start made than
new defects in the boilers and en-
gines would be brought to light.
The officers of the Wilder company
are confident that with the Helene
and the Claudine they could carry
enough coal to enable the Monterey
to make the journey under her own
steam, and that with their
native crews accustomed to handling
the heavy whaleboats and lightering
at sea, they could coal the Monterey
in any kind of a sea except the very
toughest, at the rate of 200 to 800
tons in twelve hours,
Even if the Brutus should be re-
paired so as to be able to start, she
/ can make only about eight knots AN
/ hour, and when towing the Monterey
/ only about six. The Monterey un-
| der her own steam, can make eleven
| knots an hour. Whether the crews
of the Monitor and the collier could
coal at sea, inexperienced in such
work as they are, is a question. They
/ certainly could not coal while under
way, it is said by men who know
about such matters, and coaling while
| heaved to would be very slow.
Naturally the officers of the Brutus
and the Monterey do not like to aban-
/ don the plans prepared for them by
/ the navy department, even if they
were not provided with proper means
/ to carry them out, because it will
seem to be a reflection upon their ca
pacty. But they have about $1,000
600 worth of property in their charge.
\ breakdown at sea might mean the
loss of great deal of it, and certain
ly would mean serious delay. SO it is
possible the Helene and Claudine with
native crews to do the coaling may
/ yet be engaged.

LABRADOR IN PORT.

The government tug Eleu got in
early this morning with the alleged
opium schooner Labrador, from Ma
kena. The start was made at o'clock
yesterday morning.
Alex Lyle had got the Labrador in
good shape to be hauled into the wa
ter when the Elue arrived. He had
her pretty well on her keel on impro-
vised ways, and in such shape that
she had to be fastened with a line
to prevent her sliding into the sea.
Before the tug arrived, however, sand
was drifted up against her which had
to be removed before she could be
floated. When this was done she slid
down into the water with a rush.
AS it was known that she was leaiy,
a large number of empty casks and
barrels, tightly corked and sealed,
were placed in her hold, so that it
would be impossible for her to sink.
The wisdom of this forethought was
soon proved. The Labrador soon fill
ed with water till her deck was awash
and she was practically waterlogged
But she could not sink. Twice during
the trip Lyle went back to her to see
that the tow line was all right.
