MAY SAVE THE BOAT.
WASHINGTON, Nov 15.-When
Acting Secretary Allen reached the
Department this morning he cOmmuni-
Gated with the White House, and then,
'by direction of the President, went over
a once. carrying chart Of Northern
LuzOn and the cablegram.
Admiral Watson appears to have act
ed at once upon receipt Of the news,
for he informed the Navy Department
that he had cabIed across 10 HOngk0ng
to secure the help of experienced
wreckers to proceed at once 10 the
scene Of the wreck The Navy De-
partment has already a constructor on
the ground in the person Of Lieutenant
H0bsOn. who may be called upon to
assume charge ot the Wrecking opera
tons
\ careful reading Of the .cabIegram
from Admiral Watson conyinces the
officials that there is a fair chance OF
saving the Charleston. They say that
he name Of the ship is painted about
three or four feet below the rail. This
is an indication that the main deck is
above water, which would make the
vOTk Of pumping out the hull much
easier. If she IS settled down aft, as
reported. there is less danger OF injur
ing the bottom further by pounding.
Much depends, however, on the wealth
er. as the wreck lies on the full sweep
of the monsOons which prevail at this
season.
For the safety Of the officers and
crew not the slightest apprehension eX-
lists. The Helena must already have
reached the island, which is about q
days run from Lingaven, and with the
Oregon, which followed closely, must
have removed the CharlestOn's crew
several days ago.
As. soon as possible a court Of in
Quiry will be called TO fix the response
biIiJy for the Wrecking Of the ship.

this morning except a dispatch from
Mafeking forwarded by n runner. dat

of the Red Cross Society TO ny from
several buildings at once I'm the town,
and that in his opinion the employ
ment OF natives against whites and tie

Colonel Baden-Powell replied that
the Geneva convention did not siipu-

tons permissible, and that the Bocrs
were only required to respect che con
vent, the hospital and the women's la
dger, all of which were beyono "a.

also pointed out that mines were recog-

General Cronje that the Beers had

natives only defended their lives api

Despite three warnings from Colonel
Baden Powell the BoerS continued d,-
ilberately TO shell the hospital and the

Boer envoy was regarded, the dlspaici
says, as mere prctext for penetrating

the brilliant work of the Thirty-third
Volunteer Infantry, under command OF
Colonel Hare. Several hundred men
in this regiment were recruited in Tex

which took place near San Jacinto, the
bodies of eighty one dead insurgents
were found on the field. Twenty-nine
prisoners, forty-seven Mausers and
fifty-siX Remingtons were captured.
Seven Americans, including Major John

was the work of sharpshooters, who
