other companies which were recruited
from the cities the men were mostly
from business houses and railroad
offices. They were unaccustomed to
hardships incident to q long campaign.
But they nevertheless stood the seige
remarkably well. The record shows
that less than z per cent of the Thir-

sease. Not q man was killed in battle.
The North and South Dakota men
were recruited from the farms of those

came from the mining camps. The
death percentage in the North Dakota
regiment will average about 1 per cent.
Day after day the gallant Flickertail
state regiment was at the front. They
never finched in the face of an open
fire or a concealed attack. The war
department is, therefore, particularly
anxious to have a detailed history Of

The following from the special cor

at Washington shows that the Dakota
volunteers have a gilt edge with the

The wonderful fighting powers dis
played by western troops in the Philip

Northern Pacific Transferring Passen-
gers Across the Washout West
of Mandan.

The Northern Pacific is transferring
passengers and mail acros the wash
out west Of Mandan, in the vicinity of
Sunnyside. There is a space Of about
fifteen to twenty miles over which the
passengers and mail have to be trans
ported in teams, before they reach the
trains that are waiting on the other
side. Here they are placed on the
waiting trains which take them on
west. The road is doing the best pos
sible to get its passengers and mail
through with the least possible delay.
The work Of transferring began last
night upon the arrival of No. 1, when
the through passengers from that train
were placed aboard the west bound
train that came in at noon and sent
across to Mandan whence they trans
fer. This morning the train pulled out
to Mandan carrying its passengers and
mail, and a special was run east last
night to carry passengers and mail
east.
The water over the bottoms west of
the bridge receded during the night.
The rise was caused by the overflow
IF the Heart river, which has been fall.
ing since last evening, and the water
about the track fell about a foot during
the night, SO that the road from here
to Mandan is passable.
The Missouri has not yet broken,
but from present Indications the break
up will not be long delayed. The river
is rising today at the rate of a foot an
hour, and at this rate, the ice will
soon be loosened and started out by
the high water from above. The Vel
lowstone water is expected to begin to
reach this point tomorrow.
Railroad officials are q little nervous
as to the capers that may be cut by the

HIGH WATER.
Railroad Company Making Prepare
tioae for the Reception of the High
Water Season.

The railroad company is taking time
by the forelock and taking preliminary
precautions against the promises of
high water. The Heart river is rising
and has overflown it's banks IN the
west side Of the river, and in some
places has reached and overlooked the
track on the bottom lands west Of the
bridge. While no great damage has
been done yet, the water is still rising
and when the Yellowstone waters
reach here, with the present condition
of the Missouri ice, which gives no
sign Of breaking, the volume of water
will be added to, and the overflow of
the bottoms promises to be complete.
This morning the surplus cars and
supplies of coal and other materials in
the Mandan yards We're run across to
this city, and distributed about the
local yards. in order that they might
be high and dry and available for use
on this end of the division in case the
stage of water should he such as to
obstruct traffic between this city and
Mandan. AS a consequence the CITY
is temporarily the end of the division,
several passenger crews having come
over this morning and taking up tenn
porary headquarters here.
There have been no through trains
yet from the west. The track at lie
high is overfiown with water and ice
and impossible temporarily. A COM
mittee of railroad officials from the
general offices We're in Mandan yester-
day and looked over the ruins of the
shops after the fire. What action the
company will take with reference to
rebuilding the shops is not known vet.
No passenger trains are being run
beyond the city west. Train No. 3 ar

The Gulf and the Pacific coasts are

Missouri. The condition of the ice at
this time of year is unusual, owing to
the depth and thickness, and because
of the delayed warm weather which
has kept it firm. Some Of the old
timers along the river, who have been
keeping cases OF the river, for many
years, insist that the indications do
not favor a flood. They say it depends
largely upon the amount of water that
comes down from above. If the vol
ume is large enough to raise the Mis-
souri, and float the heavy ice Off over
the sandbars, there is little likelihood
of flood.

The railroad repair shops Of the
Northern Pacific road at Mandan, occ1:

an hour yesterday morning. The shops

as extensive as any along the line of
the road with the exception Of those at.

is a mystery. There were no work

time.
The fire originated in the office Of
the chief carpenter, and spread rapidly

a few minutes the entire building was

mable material in the shops and the
fire was so rapid that it was a difficult
one to battle with. A line of hose was
laid from the north side of the street,
requiring 900 feet of hose to reach the
flames from the hydrant, and another
was sought to be laid from the round

discovered, the building was nearly
demolished.

buildings that We're being DESTROYED.
"A message was sent to this city for,the
assistance Of the local fire department.
n a large number of local firemen
We're at the loading shute with their.
apparatus, but owing to the -rapidity
with which the destruction of the
building was accomplished and the i'm
possibility of securing hydrant connec-
lions, another message was SEM after
wards stating that it would be impos-
slble to utilize the department.
There were in the shops at the time
OF the fire three engines, three cabooses
n a steam shovel, which We're de-
stroyed or badly damaged by the fire.
The cabooses We're burned to the
trucks. and the engines, which were
the old engines, used as standard pas
senger and freight engines on the road
until the adoption of the larger. engines
for passenger service, were badly dam
aged and the loss on them will be
heavy. In addition to this loss, there
will be a heavy loss on the machinery
and tools, which were extensive and
of an expensive kind.
The loss is difficult to estimate, de-
pending largely on the damage to the
engines and machinery. The loss on
the building and fittings will probably
reach $4,000 to $4,000, and on the
machinery, engines and other prop
critics damaged or destroyed, probably
a loss to bring the total up to 100000

the ruins which were complete.

BIG NAVAL ESTIMATE.
The English Admiralty Asks for
About S13O,OOO.OOO.

In introducing the navy estimates in the
house OF commons yesterday the first lord
OF the admiralty the Rt. Hon. George J.
proposed to make Wei-Hai-Wei on the
northern coast of Shan Tung peninsula a
secondary naval base adding that 1t would
be a most valuable anchorage and of the
greatest Importance in any operations in
Chinese waters.
Continuing, the first lord of the admiralty
Informed the house that the personnel Of
the navy for the coming year would be in
creased by go men, totaling I1O,64O at a
cost of Il ,4T4 900.
Referring TO shipbuilding Mr. Goschen
said the coming program had been framed
after consideration of the programs of the
other powers. a study of those programs
he pointed out, was not reassuring The
United States. Russia France japan. Italy
and Germany had under construction 6S5-
600 tons of warships. or 225 900 tons more
than was contemplated in the present esti-
mates. This had forced the government TO
draw up new program. Excluding last
years supplemental program, 1t provided
for two ironcladS, two armored cruisers and
three smaller cruisers, of n specially high
speed. The money required therefor for
the coming fiscal year was 1850 600, and the
total under the shipbullding vote. including
the liabilities for last years original and
supplementary programs, would be fl2 SIT =
600, an increase of over f2 ,000,0tU. The to-
tai estimates were f26, ,59i 600.
In conclusion, Mr.. Goschen said the esti-
mates were simply the embodiment of the
feelings of a peace-loving, determined ma

COLOMB ON THE LATE WAR.
Retired British Admiral CriticiSes
Stra

Vice Admiral Philip Howard Colomb, re-
tired, lectured in London Wednesday on
the lessons of the Spanish-American war
before the members of the United Service
Institutions.
A dispatch says: After dealing with the
inlpossiblity of secrecy in warfare here
after, owing to the vigilance of the press
and the necessity for protecting cables in
shallow water, he said he thought that If
Spain had showed real comprehension of
strategy, the United States would not have
been so successful
The sure way for the United States would
have been for her to send a sufficient force
to the coast of Spain to balance the forces
known to have been in Spanish ports and
to send squadron to the Cape Verde Is
lands the moment 1t was known a Spanish
fiotilla was assembling there: If, ne added,
the Island of Minorca had been seized as
a base, nothing offensive on the other side
of the Atlantic would have been attempted
by Spain.
The lesson to be deduced was according
to the lecturer, that the American strategy
was hazardous, in so far as ii departed
from the stereotyped rules of naval war
fare. Admiral Cerveras ships We're lost
sight of. causing anxiety on the American
coasts, and obliging the Americans to keep
considerable squadrons wholly in a defen-
sive attitude, instead of maintaining COM
mand of the sea.
been coal supplies at Santiago de Cuba and
if Admiral Cervera's squadron had been
reasonably efficient instead of a miserable
abortion all it could have purposed to
effect by entering Santiago might have
been effected without anv interference upon
the part of the United States navy
From the actions between the Spanish
forts and American ships the speaker de-
duced the idea that very inefficient batter
ies We're able to keep ships at a distance.
Regarding the purely tactical questions
involved the admiral said 1t was plain Ad-
nliral Dewey took full advantage of the
superiority of his guns and gunners and
placed himself in so distant a position that
neither the Spanish ships nor the Spanish
batteries were able to adequately reply to
his fire The whole thing. continued the
lecturer. was terribly business-like on the
American side. with q pathetic parade OF
Onixotic gallantrv on the other"
In conclusion, Admiral Colomb commented
upon the fact that all orders to the Ameri-
can ships Were sent from Washington,
which he considered was a momentous
change in naval warfare.
