Two Transports Got
Away Last Night.

There is now little more room at the
Government wharf and Captain Barneson
is correspondingly thankful. Two of
the transports got away last night.
Three others are in the stream. The
Olympia and Pennsylvania were the first
to get away. They are going to the Co
lumbia River and will take a regiment of
soldiers aboard at Portland. The Tartar
and Newport were the next to leave. They
carry the Twenty-eighth Regiment be-
tween them and will go to Manila, via
Honolulu. The Manauense was not many
minutes behind the Newport and Tartar.
She carries four companies of the Thirty

The Pennsylvania and City of Peking
have been turned into model troopships.
Under the direction of Supervising Engi-
neer J. H. Matthews all the inside cabin
work Of the Pennsylvania on the main
deck was torn out and the vessel fitted
throughout with the Turner patent bunk.
By this arrangement the transport can
carry 300 more men and still the soldiers
have better quarters in every respect
There is plenty of ventilation on the
transport now and the men have room
to move about between the tiers of hunks.
With the spring mattresses there Is no
sagging as there was with the old cam
vas affairs, and everything can be kept
as clean as new pin.

manner as the Pennsylvania and Mr..

that he is going to fit out the Ohio in the

l. This play is a satire on a false idea

4. Does the King act and talk like
king? Sufficiently so for stage purposes?

character? seriousness of motive? readi-

7. What do you judge, from this
comedy, is Shakespeare idea of the social

characters, or characters developing? Is
a play. in which characters are merely ex-

II. Notice the amount of wit and word

the dramatist seem to have restrained his
powers at any point? Does the word-play
prove wearisome?
r. Notice the rhyming of lines and
compare with any of the later and more

RECRUITS STARVING.
Denver Red Cross Made Up For

passed through this city this morning
on their way to San Francisco. They
were almost on the point Of starvation.
They started with five days rations.

out of provisions, and had no money
with which to buy more. The ladies of
the Red Cross society of this city were
informed of their arrival, and immedi-
ately went to the depot to look after
them. Each man was given breakfast
at a hotel, and an abundance of hard
boiled eggs, sandwiches and other eat
ables were put on board the train, and
each man was given so cents in money.
There must have been some bad man
agement. The ladies failed to learn the
name of the commanding officer.
The local Red Cross society will en-
deavor to investigate the matter. as
they feel highly indignant at the way
the recruits were treated. Two cars of
naval recruits also passed through on
their way to San Francisco. They were
from all parts of the east, and had
been treated splendidly.

MONSTER OF THE DEEP.
Long Island Fishermen Astounded at
Their Catch.

Patchogue, L. L, June 22.-Lying on
the beach here today is a monster of
the deep that is puzzling the oldest of
the seafaring men in this vicinity.
Whether it is fish or reptile not even
the most ancient fisherman can say.
1t is staked on the beach, where hun
dreds are observing it. Its weight is
half a tom it is 10 feet long. feet wide
and feet thick. 1t has a head and
neck as large as a common barrel and
feet and legs that look like the claws
OF a dragon.
This strange creature, which is still
alive and very ugly in disposition, snap
ping at everything that approaches
and kissing like a steam engine, was
caught in a fisherman's net four miles
from shore.
Weird and thrilling tales are told of
the terrible combat between the fish
erman's crew and the huge monster
when it became enmeShed in the net.
The monster is said to have made
noise like that of thousand bull frogs
croaking in unison 1t is said to have
leaped up against the side of the boat
with great ferocity until it was feared
that the craft would be sunk Great
dents and cracks are shown in the
boat where the monster is said to have
sunk its teeth and used its claws
John A. Smith of Watch Hill is the
owner of the boat, and with him were
seven men. They were fishing for
sturgeon four miles out. They started
TO maui up their nets, when they found
them apparently caught. They pulled
and worked for a time, when suddenly
there arose above the surface an APP
partition that almost froze their blood.
A huge head and neck protruded from
the water. A rasping sound filled the
air and a forked tongue, red and hid
eous, shot out Indignantly toward
them. Eyes red and green glared and
blinked by turns. Mr.. Smith was the
first to recover from the fright, and he
ordered the men to throw a hawser
over the monsters head. This was done
and the crew started to tow the catch
to shore. Then the immensely of the
creature was seen. Half a dozen men
could have easily ridden to shore on
the creatures back, which, in way,
resembled that of a turtle.
Shore was reached only after long
and laborious toll. The creature fought
and protested all the way, snarling and
kissing and flashing the water to foam.
Finally, when land was reached. a
team of horses was procured, and these,
together with the aid of the entire fish
ing crew, dragged the sea monster up
on the beach, where it was tied out.
News of the catch soon spread, and
the beach has been crowded all day
with persons who have been trying to
guess what manner of creature the
monster is.
