DRY DOCK FOR BROOKLYN.
The Cruiser Was Badly Injured BY
Yesterdays Accident.

NEW YORK, May 81. 1S99.-An officer
attached to the Navy Yard in Brooklyn,
said today, that one result of the cruiser
Brooklyn's running into some obstruction
in the channel between Governors Island
and the Battery, would undoubtedly be a
careful government examination of that
channel, wit ha view to chartering it ex-
actly, and removing whatever obstruction
there is to the passage of vessels of deep
draught. -.sss4a a
The Brooklyn, he said, struck an OBJ
struction some 200 yards nearer the bat
terry than did the Massachusetts when she
struck bottom in the same channel a few
months ago. The work of sounding the
channel will be done for the benefit of
the Navy Department because few ships
of deep draught ever use tn channel, ex-
cepting vessels bound to and from the
Navy Yard
The Brooklyn was still anchored off
Thirty-fourth street in, the North River
this morning. One of her officers said
that, in his opinion, the cruiser was so
badly injured that she would have to go
into drydock.
The cruiser ran into some hidden object,
a piece of sunken wreckage or the bottom
of the channel. it is not known which,
off the Battery yesterday afternoon on
her way up the North River to fire a
salute off Grants Tomb. She was able,
however to continue her course, although
the shock of the accident was consider
able.
The Brooklyn would have proceeded to
Newport yesterday to join Admiral Samp-
usual board of inquiry will doubtless be
appointed to investigate the matter.

.FILIPINOS TAKE AMERICANS
Two Caught In a Small Boat
and Hurried Away.
cBy cable to The Associated Press.)

(By Gable to The Associated Press.)
MANILA, May 81, 1S99.-6:20 P. NJ
Details regarding the capture by Flip
mos of two officers of the United States
hospitalship Relief, yestey .ay, have just
been obtained. The Relief lies in the
harbor in front of this city. Third officer
Fred Heppy and Assistant Engineer
Charles Blandford, rigged a sail on one of
the ships boats and went sailing along
the shore, on the south, opposite the in
sirgent lines.
The boat became becalmed near the
shore and some native canoes with Fiji
pinos on board put out and captured tie
two men, who were unarmed, and also
took possession of the boat. The United
States turretship Monadnock quickly sent
boat with landing party ashore. Under
cover of her guns, and shelled the shore
briskly.
The natives, however, rushed the pris-
oners into the woods before the Monad-
nocl's boat reached land. Persons on
board several other ships saw the affair
through glasses but were unable to pre-
vent the capture of Messrs. Heppy and
Blandford (not Blanford).
Friendly natives arriving here from the
country around San Isidro and San Migue
report that reign of terrorism has pre-
vailed since the American troops were
withdrawn from these parts Of the is
lands.
The insurgents who are returning there
who have shown any friendship towards
the Americans during the latter's cecupa-
ton of the territory. The friendlies declare
unoffending people are being murdered
daily and that their houses are being
burned and their property corfscated.
Plenty of sympathizers with the insur-
rection remained during the Americans
stay and they have been reporting these
instances of friendliness towards our
troops.
The refugees add that the inhabitants
were badly oppressed by the native sol
diers before the American occupation, bu
that the condition is worse now. Doubt
less there is much truth in these reports
though such stories from Filipino sources
are always magnified.

MANAGERS BASE HIT.
Lady Baseball Players Heart
Iessly Abandoned in
Hoboken.

The Ladies' Champion Basebill Club of
New York journeyed to Hoboken yester-
day to cross bats with the Hudson A. O..
The game resulted in defeat for the
female aggregation by score of II to IL,
and was witnessed by crowd of nearly
LOCO at the ST. George Cricket Grounds,
Defeat was not the only thing the fe-
males had to put up with. They were de-
tanned in Hoboken until midnigh. their
baggage was seized and they had to con-
tent themselves with a supper of beer
and sandwiches.
The trouble was caused by the abscond-
ing of one of their managers with the
gate receipts. The team is managed by
Franklyn and Adams, and agreed to play
with the Hudsons for 70 per cent. of the
ticket money. Adams took charge of the
box office and when the game was over
was dicovered to be missing.
Manager Fred Smithson of the cricket
grounds, was advised by his attorney,
Counsellor John Fallon. to hold Franklyn
responsible for his partners actions, and
Justice of the Peace Clark issued war
rant Off his arrest. He also levied an at
tachment on the costumes of the young
women.
5eAANA
he always considered his partner to be an
honest man. Upon his advice messenger
was despatched to Brooklyn to hunt up
Adams and try to induce him to return
and settle up. Up to midnight the miss
ing man did not put in an appearance.
Franklyn had been taken to Justice
Clark's Office the young women accom-
panying him. About eleven o'clock they
began to grow hungry and taking an in
ventory of their purses scraped together
fifty odd cents. With this each was en-
abled to purchase glass of beer and a
couple of sandwiches, which they ate in
Justice Clarke's office. When the hands
of the clock were pointing to twelve
Counsellor James Leutery. who had been
sent for by Franklin, appeared. Upon his
application Franklyn was released on his
own recognizance to appear again to-
morrow morning.
The belated manager and his feminine
friends lost no time in making for the
ferry. The young women said they would
never set foot in Hoboken again.

.HOBOKEN'S LIGHT PROBLEM
The North River Company
Offers a New Contract
to the City.

The North River Heat, Light and
Power Companys offer to furnish Hobo
ken with electric light for the remainder
of the fiscal year free of charge" was
made the occasion for wild and mae
curate stories in the New York papers
yesterday The company was portrayed
as being composed of public philantro-
phists who were anxious to give Hoboken
her lighting system without charging a
penny for the erection of poles, supply
ing of lamps or the maintenance OF the
system after it was completed
The facts in the case are these:-A. K.
Bonita, president of the new company
and Recorder Stanton, one of its chief
promoters, appeared before the Tax Com
missioners, Monday afternoon, and after
saying complimentary things about their
concern, submitted carefully Worded
document Offering ''to furnish the city
of Hoboken an equal number of lights
of the same candle power as at present
in use without any expense whatever to
the city, providing only that we are per-
mitted to use the streets on the same
terms as enjoyed by the Electric Light
Company now doing business" In other
words, the new company in payment for
its franchise offered to, light Hoboken for
less than full year.
Bonita called the Commissioners atten-
ton to the present street lighting con-
tract and said it embraced a wise pro-
vision, the contract terminating at any
time the Tax Board should fail to make
the necessary appropriation for it's an
nual support. Hoboken was paying 1870
per light per annum, he said, and he
declared his company's willingness to
take the contract for so. per light at the
same terms beginning with the new year
The Tax Commissioners did not make
the appropriation, thereby terminating
the old contract.
1t now rests with the Mayor and Com
mon Council to either accept or reject
the new companys offer

CONDEMN ESTEREAzY.
Counsel Say He Wrote Famous
Bordereau.

(By Gable to the Associated Press
PARIS, May 81, 1S9s.-The Surroundings
of the Palace of Justice were almost
deserted today when the Court Of Cassa-
tion resumed hearing the arguments in
the application for revision of the Drey-
fus trial. Many of the public seats In the
court was empty. t
NJ Manau, the Procurator Generab COM
tinued his speech, which was interrupted
yesterday by the adjournment Of the
Court, and his voice could be Heard
throughout the hall contending that Ma
jor Count Esterhazy was the author Of
the bordereau, which has figured So
prominently in the case, and not Dreyfus-
During the course of his remarks he
said that whoever was guilty somebody
had committed the crime of treason. Es-
terhazy, however. he pointed out, haying
been acquitted of the authorship OF the
bordereau, cannot again be prosecuted om
this ground even If he were a hundred
times guilty.
What proof exists that there has BEEN
an act of treason of a nature tending to
compromise the security of the State?
Are we not perhaps, in the presence or
number of unimportant documents, az
General Mercier thought. and, conse-
quently, in the presence of a mysterious
hoax, an audacious piece of swindling
perpetrated by the author of the bor-
dereau upon his foreign governmental

involves the most painful Presumption

innocence seems established by several

NJ. Manau's address was largely a re-
petition of the statements of the reporter
of the case. There was the same array
of facts and similar deductions there
from.
The Proeurator-Generaps analysis OF
the secrett document was very close and
he wound up with an emphatic declaEa-
ton that there was nothing in the secret
dosier to incriminate Dreyful, saying:-

upon the audience.
