Capt. Sigsbee hopes the survey
steamer Bache will return to the Tor
tugas Tuesday or the next day, with
all the Names wounded left here, and
he also hopes to send on the Bache
hereafter all the remains of the dead
recovered in a condition making it
possible to place them in collins.
The difficulty experienced in recov-
ering the bodies is not understood by
any but the divers. The latter Sunday
worked for three hours trying to bring
out one body intact. and one of the
divers had a bad fall and several got
their air tubes tangled Even then
they could not eXtricate the remains
The principal efforts of the divers
are now directed toward clearing the
upper wreckage, smOkestaclIs, decks,
guns, matches. bridges, cranes and
grainings Then, if not before, all the
dead can be removed.
Only one body was recovered Mon
day and it has not yet been identified,
though there are hopes that it may be
later. With any others recovered in
time it will go with the wounded on
Key West. On her next trip north the
Bache will carry to Key West the first
company of wounded taken to the Dry
Tortugas.
The Spanish divers did not make
their examination Monday Capt.
Sigsbee expected them, and probably
will be advised Monday night as to
when they will begin their investiga-
tion. He was much gratifed at re-
covering Monday in good condition his

CIVIL SERVICE EXEMPTIONS.

1t is expected that the proclamation of
the President modifying the civil service
classification will not be issued for some
tune. The reports of the heads of the diff
ferent departments containing the recon-
exempted from the operations of the classi-
fed service have al been submitted to the
civil service commission, with instructions
to examine them and submit report there
on at the earliest convenience. The COM
mission has thereupon issued an order that
no one will be received after Il O'Clock each
day, in order to give the subject its undi-
vided attention. For several days the mat
ter has been considered TO the exclusion of
other business. 1t will, however be some days
before the commission is ready to report
1t may be that all of the Recommendations
Of the several heads of departments viii
not be approved, and that the commission
will make recommendations not suggested
by the department officials. For instance

fty OF recommending the exemption of all
such boards from the operation of the civi.

point new boards and then it would be am
easy matter for the pension officials to

torpedo fiotilla now proceeding from the
Canaries, and would be disinclined to con-
slider a suggestion from this government
tending to interfere with the disposition by
SPAN of her own naval forces. The ad-
vance of the Spanish flotilla continued to
receive the closest attention of naval OFF,
cials, and while so far as can be ascer-
aimed no definite line of action is deter
mined upon. the need of intercepting this
fleet was urged by some naval authorities.
From the standpoint of the Spanish gov
ernment this movement is not a menace.
1t was decided upon several weeks ago.
The Spanish government holds that the ex-
tensive armament of the Dry Tortugas is
q more direct hostile act against Spain
than any movement of the fotilla.
Instead of stopping the fotilla. the pres
ent attitude of Spain tends toward REIN
forcing it with other Spanish war vessels,

and was won by Oxford.
oxford has now won thirty-two out of
the forty-five races rowed with Cambridge.
and has been the winner nine years in sue
cession.
The oay was overcast. with occasionally
fine rain falling and a cold east wind blow
ing, which raised the question as to
whether the race would not be postpored.
Boisterous waves were looked FOL, espe-
cialiy IN the unshelterei reaches Of the
river.
The captains of the crews and the
coaches held a conference, and decided, in
view of the unfasorable conditions, which
looked likely TO grow worse during the af-
ternoCp, that the start should not take
place until s:30 pm.
oxford Won the toss, which, with the pre-
vai!!hg wind, was regarded assuring

Regarding. spar nish Elections.
The court Of inquiry report will go to
Congress Monday swithoAt change of pro-
gram on the Presidents part unless there
are unforeseen happenings
1t is now said that the President fixed
Monday for sending in the report because
he did not wish to have It made public un-
til after the elections. for the Spanish
ccrtes. which take place tomorrow. 1t was
thought that an earlier publication of the
report might affect the elections and
produce riots. 1t is hot s:known whether
there were any requests from Spain that
this he done, but 1t IS thought that the
President acted Of his own accord and
without request. -
Am important story is told today regard
ing the movements of the Spanish torpedo
1otilla. 1t is to the effect that the admin
istrat!cn considers that The sailing of the
fotil!a is a political move on the part of
the sagasta ministry I'd have bearing on
tomorrow's elections. Sasasta had come to
the conclusion that the conservatives would
suffer in the elections If he did not do
something to give the appearance of Il
war-like move. This. would please the
spaniards, he figured, ana put IA conserva-
tive majority in the cortes without trouble
He worked the game by starting the notil.a
for Cuba.
1t is not stated whether promises have
been made to President Mckinley that the
fotilla will stop this s:dcsof Cuba or Porto
Rico. 1t is also not stated that sagasta
did not have two motives in view. Despite
the belief of some of THE friends of the adj
ministration as to the political play of the
fotiiia. 1t is not denied that Sagasta could
nave had real war movement in view.
AT any rate, the administration will not put
too much faith in the move being entirely
political.
