HAD A CLOSE CALL.
Captain and Crew Rescued From Burn
ing Vessel.

ing Vessel.
Wilmington, N. c., June 27.-The
George w. Clyde, Captain Roberts, of
the New York Clyde line, arrived in
this port at II o'clock this morning,
with Captain A. D. Ingram and crew
of the steamer Pawnee on board. The
Clyde had picked them up from small
boats very soon after they had aban-
doned the Pawnee, which was de-
stroyed by fire off Curricul Sunday
night. The fire was discovered about
midnight, and had gained such head
way that every effort to check it was
futile. The flames leaped in great vol
ume from the forward hold of the ves-
sci and dense smoke completely enVel-
oped the deck. When the alarm was
given, Captain Ingram was asleep, and
no sooner had he rushed out and taken
in the situation than he saw that if
ne saved his crew he must get them
off at once. While the crew was max
ing for the small boats, Captain In
gram rushed into his cabin for some
valuables which he hoped to save.
When he reached the ships side the
boat had drifted out of reach, and
about that time the smoke shifted so
as to envelop that side of the vessel
and the captain ordered the crew to
row the boat to windward. This they
did, but in the meantime the wind
shifted again, the heat and smoke fore
ing the crew to pull away without their
captain.
There We're three vain efforts of this
kind made. the boat being rowed to
first one side of the vessel and then to
the other in attempts to reach the cap
tain. Finally Captain Ingram leaped
into the water and swan 200 feet or
| more, finally reaching a boat complete
ly exhausted and almost unconscious.
In the meantime, the George w. Clyde
had sighted the Pawnee in the flames
and picked up the captain and crew
| within few minutes. Captain In
gram says the Pawnee had a full car
| go. principally lumber. There was also

teers, provision was made for three
battalions in each regiment, with a
major at the head of each. Governor
Smith admits that there is some doubt
whether the war department will per-
NIT the 1st Montana to have another
major, under the circumstances. If the
department should decide there can be
no successor to Major brennan the
news to that effect will be keen dis
appointment to the friends of Captain
Keown, Lieutenant Bradshaw, Lieuten-
ant Yaeger and Corporal Church, all of
whom would have been advanced as a
result of the appointments announced
by the governor yesterday. While it
is true that the regiment will soon re-
tire from the service, the honor attach
ed to the promotion as well as the extra
pay for at least one month would not
come amiss to the men affected. At
last accounts to-day the governor had
received nothing additional from the

the Philippines.
PREFERENCE TO VETERANS
Mckinley Finally Takes the Step-Skele-
ton Regiments of Volunteers
Are Being Formed at
Manila.

Chicago, June 27-Washington dis
patches to the Tribune say:
AS a result of a conference between
the president and Secretary Alger this
afternoon. it has been decided to begin
the enlistment of volunteers for two
years for service in the Philippines.
Orders to recruiting officers to this ef-
feet will be sent out tomorrow. It Is
proposed to arm and equip at once
three brigades or about 10000, and con-
tinues the work until the whole $4,000
men authorized by law are secured
There will be no call upon the states.
The regiments will be organized as
United States volunteers. officers will
be appoionted by the president and as
signed to regiments without regard to
state lines. The maximum Of the reg
ular army of $1,000 men has been Sc
cured and new enlistments will be for
the provisional army to make UP the
total strength of 100000 men. General
Otis has 29,300 men on the ground CIR
under orders, and volunteers will be
rushed to him until he has an effective
force of 50000
In the enlistments for the United
States volunteers, veterans of the late
war; including those who did not get
beyond the home camps, but were sea-
soned viii be given the preference and.
the same will be true of the officers. Al
brigadier general for every three regi-
ments and major for each division of
three brigades will be appointed. They
will be part regulars and part volun-
teers, and General Joe Wheeler will be
among their number.

Skeleton Regiments.

Washington June Pit is not
known at the war department how
General Otis has succeeded in forming
three skeleton regiments from the vol
unteers now in the Philippines who are
willing to re-enlist. An impression pre-
walls at the war department that q
large proportion of the volunteers may
be re-enlisted If some arrangements
can be made whereby the men can be
allowed to make a visit to their friends
and relatives in the United States. This
idea is to re-enlist them in the Philip
pines and give them a furlough to re-
turn to the United States. The fur

CREATED A SURPRISE,
Viscount Miura Thinks Japan Is Safe
From Attack

Vancouver. b. c., June 27-The as
sembling of the peace conference at The
Hague has led Siscount Mura. the fire
eating Japanese general, to join hands
with Count Okuma in crusade against
the extension of the army and navy and
the increase of taxes. The viscount
thinks that Japan is under no neces-
sity of being prepared for military ac-
tion. He says:
China has neither power nor inten-
tion to fight us. The Siberian railway
being unfit for rapid transportation of
troops, Russia ought not to be a cause
of disquietude on our part. NJ Turo-
pean power will be able to send an
army of 10000 or $4,000 men to the far
East. 1t is not necessary that they
should take Eastern fleets of European
power. In war in which this country
may be involved decisive battles will
be fought on land in the last resort
naval defeat therefore is not of seri-
GUS consequence.
Neither is this country in need of a
big standing army. Seeing that Euro
pean countries are not able to send
large military forces, there will be am
pie time after the breaking off of diplo-
matte relations to make the requisite
preparations for repelling foreign inva-
SION"
This news of Viscount Miuras views
has created a sensation in Jpan.

THERE is A DOUBT.
Governor Smiths Appointments May Be
Rejected.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, June 27.-The war depart
ment appears to entertain some doubt
about the legality of the appointment
of a major in the volunteers because of
a death, as is shown in the following
letter received to-day by Governor
Smith, in response to the message he
sent yesterday announcing number of
promotions he had made as "A result of

Passenger on the Nippon Maru Died

San Francisco, June 27.-The steamer

FAR FROM AN END.
Plenty of Fighting Yet to BE Done in
the Philippines.

Vancouver. B. c., June 27.-Louis La
Dow, recently arrived in Yokohama
from Manila, is quoted in late Japanese
papers as expressing the conviction
that the end of the war with the Fill
pinos is by no means yet in sight. The
official reports of American losses, he
thinks. are not wholly reliable as they
make no allowance for the number who
die in the hospitals. The number of
Americans killed in battle or who have
died in the hospitals since the out
break Of hostilities will, he thinks, easi-
ly reach 5000. The volunteer force he
regards as the flower Of the army of oe-
cupaton, for their years training has
made them as efficient as any regulars

recent dispatches of reinforcements are

A Granu finish.
The Wisconsin boat. unable to turn
back into its lane, had found dead wa
ter in the lane which they had sought
near the shore. Pull as they would and
as desperately as they did, the nose of
the Pennsylvania shell came out inch
by inch until it crossed the line a scant
half length ahead of the Badgers boat.
1t was a finish that set wild with de-
light every lover of good sport. The
Cornell boat was fully three lengths 10
the rear of the Wisconsin boat. while
the Columbias finished their stern chase
almost four lengths behind Cornell.
The associated press time was taken
very accurately, was 20 minutes S-5
seconds, while the official time. given
from the referees boat. was 20 minutes
seconds. None of the crew was in
what could be called bad condition
when they finished. Right after cross
ing the line the giants from Wisconsin
paused moment to take in their sur
roundings and then wormed their way
out from among the maze of row boats
and small yachts that lined the course
on it's shore side. Not a man in the
eight showed the least symptoms of
collapse, and they Immediately rowed
