LONG WANTS TO KNOW.
Asks Coghlan if His Recent
Speeches Were Cor
rectly Reported.

Washington, April 29.-Navy depart
ment officials say that no word has
been received from Capt. Coghlan of
the Raleigh in response to request
made of him by Secretary Long for a
statement as to whether he was cor
rectly reported in his recent speech at
New York respecting the relations be-
tween the Germans and the Americans
during the blockade of Manila bay last
year. 1t is the custom of the depart
ment, when it takes notice of remarks
made by naval officers which may be
regarded as improper or offensive to
an individual or nation, first, to call
upon the offending person for a state
ment as to whether he has been cor
rectly reported in newspapers.
AS a basis of action, Capt. Coghlan' S
answer to the departments request,
therefore, will be awaited before any
further attention is given to the mat
ter The officials were somewhat sur
prised to read in the morning papers
the additional observations made by
Capt. Coghlan in his speech before the
Army and Navy Club in New York
last night, as they had hoped he had
taken warning by the unfavorable
comment his former remarks had
caused.

MESSAGE FROM OTIS.
Wires Washington Regarding American
Losses at Quengua.

Washington, April 2S.-The following
message regarding the fight at Quen-
qua was received at the war depart
ment today:
Manila, April 2S.-Adjutant General,
Washington: A reconnaissance on
Quengua. a place six miles northeast
of Malolos, made by Major Bell and
a troop Of cavalry this morning, re-
suited in contact and battle, in which
four battalions of infantry and four
pieces of artillery became engaged.
Enemy driven from strong entrench-
ments at Quengua with considerable
loss: our casualties quite severe. Col.
Stetsenburg and Lieut.. Sission, First
Nebraska, killed, also several enlisted
men. Considerable number wounded
not yet reported.
(Signed) Otis.
Col. John Miller Stetsenburg of the
First Nebraska infantry who held the
rank of captain in the regular army,
killed in the reconnaissance at Quen-
qua. was born in Indiana Nov "A, 1858.
and was appointed a cadet at the mill
tary academy July, 1877, and gradu-
( ated number Il in his class. He was
appointed second lieutenant of the
Sixth cavalry in 1881, and became a
captain Dec. Il, 1898.
He served with his regiment in Ari-
iona and New Mexico from 1887 to 1880,

pating in the Sioux campaign in the

CONDUCTORS SUSPENDED.
Consolidated Men Laid off for Alleged
Drinking.

Seven regular and two spare conduc-
tors on the Consolidated street railway
have been suspended, and according to
stories told by their brother conductors
they were laid off for going into saloons
with their uniforms on.
The men were laid off Saturday, re-
ceiving notice early in the day, but they
were allowed to finish out the days
work and in that way draw a full days
pay For some time past it has been a
known fact that the owners of the road
and Superintendent Akarman objected
to the employees frequenting saloons
with their uniforms on, and it is sup
posed that a strict watch has been kept
on all the men, with the result that nine
of them were suspended.
They were ordered to report again
Tuesday ready for duty, and the sus-
pension has had more effect on the en-
ployees of the road than so temperance
lectures would. 1t is said that the road
intends to adhere to this policy and in
the future all offenders of the rule will
be punished accordingly. The men were
not informed why they were laid off.

action at Wounded Knee, S. d. He
was at Fort Niobrara from 1891 to 1894,
and then served for a few months at
Fort Myer, near Washington, going
thence to the infantry and cavalry
school at Fort LeaVenworth, Kan. Col.
Stetsenburg then served with his regi-
ment at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, until
December, 1897 and from that time to
the following April was professor of
military science and tactics at the
University of Nebraska. He was mus
tered in as majorof the First Nebraska
infantry in the last war and as colonel
of the same regiment Nov. 10, 1898.
He sailed with his regiment for Ma
Mia. June 18th. In appearance he was
short, slight, and had rather an ascot
ic eountenance, partly perhaps due to
the fact that he was always a very
studious man. He was strict disci-
plinarian, and the raw volunteers he
had to break in during the early
months of his command of the First
Nebraska resented his methods so Bit
terly that they procured the passage
of a resolution of censure against him
through the Nebraska Legislature. Once
they became engaged in actual war
fare, however, the merits of his course
became so apparent that in response to
very strong demand from the people
of the state and the soldiers them
selves. the resolution of censure by a
formal vote was expunged from the
legislative records.
The following dispatch was received
at the war department late this even
ing:

BOAT CREW RESCUED

Gen. Whitney Reach
the Shore.

Jacksonville, Fla, April pa special
to the Times, Union and Citizen, from
st. Augustine, says:
Considerable excitement was created
here early this afternoon by a small
boat out at sea giving signals of dis
tress. Capt. Allen Immediately went
to it's assistance in the yacht Baldwin.
Upon nearing the boat he found it to
be the missing life boat of the steamer
Gen. whitney, which foundered north
of Cape Canaveral, Friday night.
Capt. Allen transferred the sailors
from their cramped quarters to his
yacht and brought them in to Corbetts,
where a large crowd awaited them
Hot coffee and food were furnished
them at once upon the boat and the
poor fellows fairly banqueted.
The story of the disaster as told by
Mate Mattson and his men was thrill
ing. One of the bull0heads sprung leak
from the heavy seas which were pre-
vailing. All hands were ordered to the
pumps and worked hard but the holds
soon began to fill in spite of their eff
forts. The officers and men realizing the
steamer was settling fast and sure to
founder, took to the two lifeboats.
Capt. J. w. Hawthorne and Is men
went in the first boat and were never
again seen by the remaining men.
Shortly afterward, Mate Mattson and
the remainder of the crew, IA men, took
to the second boat. They had a COM
pass and began to row for shore. A
strong wind was prevailing, creating
a heavy sea, and the men at the oars
could make no Roadway. All day Sat-
urday the men tried to approach shore,
but could not even get glimpse of it
and almost despaired when they found
they had no water Early this morning
they sighted land and with energy
they took their turns at the oars. When
near enough to land they improvised
a flag with canvass tackled to an oar,
and it was on seeing this that Capt

DEWEY WORKING HARD.
Doing All in His Power to Rescue Lieut..
Gilmore.


Washington, April 29-From a dis
patch received by Secretary Long from
Admiral Dewey today, it is evident the
latter is still in the dark respecting the
whereabouts of Lieut. Gilmore and
party of the Yorktown, who, it is
thought, were ambuscaded and charged
by party of Filipinos while on voy-
age to rescue Spanish prisoners near
Paler.
The admiral says he is endeavoring
to ascertain the situation Of the lieu
tenant and his party. The dispatch is
in response to an inquiry sent by Sec
rotary Long yesterday, not because the
latter thought the admiral was not
making every effort to rescue the men.
but to show the friends of the prisoners
that the department was not indiffer-
ent to their fate or remiss in its endea-
vors to assist them in regaining their
liberty.

proprietor excited at first unbounded
surprise and then much Indignation.
In the island of Porto Rico about
threefourths of the people are of mixed
blood, although in some of them the
mixture occurred so long ago that they
consider themselves pure whites, in
spite of their sallow compilations.
These people are not accustomed to
race prejudice, and most of them are
proud and revengeful. If the represen-
tatives of the United States undertake
to transplant the distinctions of caste
which have grown up in the South and
to some extent in the North also, there
will be trouble. The Detroit Tribune
thinks the safest way will be to allow
the new subjects to govern themselves
as well as they are able. A carpet-bag-
ger rule is sure to breed disloyalty and
perhaDS inSurreCtion.

Railroad Building.

~ ROM present indications more
miles of railroad will be built
this year in the United States
than have been built for several years
past The Railroad Gazette states that
surveys for railroads are being made
in every direction, and it publishes a
list of railroads projected or already
under construction. The list includes
444S companies and $50 lines and ex-
tensions in the United States; 6S COM
panies and IS lines and extensions in
Canada, and rs companies with 90
lines and extensions in Mexico. Every
state and territory is represented by
some projected railroad construction,
and there will be most activity in the
extreme Northwest. in the North Mis-
sissippi states and in the Southern
states.
Among projected railroad building in
Montana the most important is the ex-
tension of the Burlington westward
from Billings, Branch lines are pro-
jected in this state by the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern roads.
1t is expected that the Gallatin Valley
road will be completed during the
season.

The liquid will drive locomotives, pro-
pei ships, operate factories. heat houses
in winter and cool them in summer.
There will be no ashes, SCOT cinders
nor smoke. The air will be as clear and
clean and pure in our cities as in the
country. The most wonderful part OF
the story is yet to come. The liquid air
costs nothing. The machine for com
pressing and liquefying the atmosphere
is operated by liquid air, three gallons
of which, as motive power, will produce
ten gallons as product The surplus
seven gallons are clear gain. This part
of the story is hard to believe. 1t sounds
too much like making something out of
nothing, by getting more energy out Of
machine than is put into it, a thing
never before accomplished. Mr.. Tripler
assures us, however. that he is merely
drawing on the accumulated surplus of

The Color Line,

1NHE Detroit Tribune fears that
one of the principal difficulties
to be experienced by the United
States in governing Porto Rico will be
the race prejudice or color line, which
has already caused some friction
Spanish rule was characterized by COR
ruption and despotic oppression, but
the whites and blacks mingled freely,
often intermarrying. There was no dis
elimination against the negro or the
mestizo of any degree, on account of
his color, and so long as the latter re-
manned loyal. paid his taxes without
murmuring and behaved himself mon
erly, he was treated as an equal.
since the Americans have invaded the
West Indies the conditions are changed
for instance, an Alabama man opened

pie of mixed blood are so numerous
anu the proportions of the mixture are
80 various that it is next to impossible
