miles from Manila, ON the Bay of
Manila. is q little craft of only 40
tons displacement. not much larger
than small tug She was captured
by the navy early in the war and has
been on police duty in the bay for

one of the boats of which the Oregon

supposed to draw all of her supplies

from the Oregon's crew and to act
Under the instructions of the
Oregon's commander. According 6 to
the last reports to the department.
the little boat was last May under
command Of Naval Cadet v elborn c

is not matter of record, being sub
ject to frequent change. Wood was
appointed to the naval academic
course and was performing two
years. service at the time. of bis
capture. Naturally, the department
officials are vexed that the difficult
ties of the negotiations looking to the
release of Lieut. Gilmore of the

added to by this last misfortune.

necessarily curb the junior officers
