a DANGEROUS WRECK.
FOR w.ATsuN'S FLEET.
Harships for the Philippines Rave X.
c.ived Sailing Orders.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-The Navy
Department was busily engaged today
in arranging TO reinforce the fleet in
the Philippines. as suggested Yesterday
by Admiral Dewey in the course of his
conference With the President In go
ing over the field of available ships
II was found this morning that the
plan conceived last evening Of send
ing the Marietta and Machias with the
Brooklyn Will have 10 be modified SO as
TO drop the gunboats.
In addition to the Brooklyn the fol-
lowing ships will be added to Watson's
feet: Nashville. New Orleans, Ban
croft and Badger.
ADMIRAL DE1WEy'S IDEA.
1t was Admiral Deweys idea that
vessels of 4 larger type Than We're first
thought of should be sent to Manila
He pointed out that the smaller class
q. Sunhoats would be exposed to a
good deal of unnecessary danger if
they We're sent out. To carry out the
PLANS CT cutting the insurgents off
from their supplies. these vessels must
be scattered around the island often
without consorts, and then exposed to
sudden attack. The larger vessels
Will not only be able 10 take care of
themselves in such cases, but may
serve as parent ships, from which may
be operated a number Of small launches
that have been doing such good serv-
ice.
PROGRAM COMMITTEE.
BY noon the department had complet-
eC its program and was in position to
send sailing orders to the ships to go to
Manila. The New Orleans was teie-
graphed to proceed at once to the New
York navy yard to have some changes
made in the galley apparatus This
change can be made in six days when
the ship will start on her voyage. The
Brooklyn will be turned back from
Hampton Roads as soon as she comes
within signalling distance. and sent to
New York, whence she sailed this
morning before the department could
reach her with orders. She viii be
ready to sail by the end Of next week.
ORDERS FROM NASHVILLE.
A cablegram was sent to the Nash
VILE at san Domingo to proceed at
once to Manila via Suez and she is cx-
nected to get off within "a hours Or
ders were also teeyraphed to the Bad
ger at Mare Island to proceed 10 the
Philippines as soon as possible No or

| would like to be there. / never
have been homesick, but I am pret-

boys would give all they have on
earth to be back in the United

natives all left, and of course we
went rustling to see if we could find
anything. 1t turned out a regular
klondyke. Some ofthe bows found
three thousand dollars. Jack and
