Washington, Oct. 29.-The Acme
Wrecking company, of San Francisco,
has made request upon the navy de-
partment for authority to raise the
battleship Maine. The company has
had experience in raising vessels on
the Pacific coast and representations
have been made to the department as
TO its ability to accomplish the task in
Havana harbor. 1t proposes TO blow
the mud from under the wreck by
means of streams Of water and then to
pass under chains and attach them to
frame work connected with a system
of steel barrels. These barrels will
also be placed in the wreck and util-
lied wherever they can be made avail
able. The company simply asks au-
thority to raise the Maine and bring
her to this country. If the government
wants the ship after she reaches the
United States, the company will want
to be paid salvage money through con-
demnation proceedings. 1t is probable
in case the government did not want

FIVE INDIANS KILLED.
Desperate Fight Between Whites and
Redskins in Oregon-More Trouble
Feared by Settlers.

Canyon City, Ore, Oct. 2s.-A young
man who was member of the sher-
ifs posse just returned here with re-
port of desperate fight between the
whites and a renegade band of Indians.
The 10 white men and five buck war;
riors were about 40 feet apart when
the battle began. George Cuttings,
son of David Cuttings, received ball
in the left arm, and it passed through
mis- lungs. He started, liz company with
NJ Mosier, for lee, near the scene of
the trouble. The wounded man be-
came so weak that he was left near the
trail, propped up against tree. When
a searching party went to look for him
they found his dead body near spring,
where he had crawled. The posse con-
tinued the pursuit, and after run
ming battle killed all five Indians. Set
tiers have been sent to this place for
more ammunition, stating that the In
dlans are gathering around lee in
large numbers.
