FIRE IN NAVY YARD.
100000 Worth of Government Prop
erty Destroyed at Brooklyn.

New York, February 15.-Over a million
dollars wotrh of government property was
destroyed by fire which begun in the ma
chnery shop of the Brooklyn navy yard
this evening, and the workings of the navy
yard have received serious setback. Many
fine models and patterns of battleships,
their plans and specifications have been
destroyed and the steam engineering de-
partment of the yard practically wiped out.
The fire was first discovered at $3.50 O'Clock
tonight. The flames rapidly gained head
way on account of the fact that the inside
of the building was saturated with oil. Be-
fore the fire department could get in action
flames completely enveloped the great ma
chine shop, and attention had to be paid
to the foundry and other buildings In the
vicinity. Several times the flames got a
start on the foundry roof, but the fremen
quickly put them out.
The firemen pumped huge streams of
water into the blazing machine shop, but
all efforts were fruitless, and, at II o'clock,
nothing but an immense pile of smouldering
building had stood The loss to the building
is placed at $350,000; that on the machinery
and lathes in the building, 100000 The cost
of models and patterns destroyed is vari-
ously estimated, but officials in the yard
put the total loss at a little over a million
The cause of the fire is unknown as yet.

FIGHT NEAR ILOILO.
Americans Engaged the Enemy at Jaros
and Pitched Battle Followed.

Manila, February 15.-11:55 a. m.-Colonel
Potter Oieutenant Colonel C. L. Potter, of
the signal corps), arrived from Iloilo yes
terday evening with dispatches from Brig
| adler General Miller to MAJOR General E. 8.
Otis, commanding the United Forces in the
Philippine islands.
On Sunday afternoon General Miller or-
dered a reconnaissance in force to ascertain
the enemy's position. Major Cheatham's
battalion Of the Tennessee volunteer regi-
ment marched beyond Molo without finding
the enemy and returned to Ilo.lo.
keilars battalion of the Eighteenth
United States cavalry, with two Hotchkiss
guns and one Gatling gun, marched towards
Jaro. Midway between IIoilo and Jaro this
battalion encountered large body of the
enemy occupying both s.3ee of the road,
who met the advance OF the American
troops with a severe and well-direeted fire.
The Americans deployed and returned, the
fire with number of volleys.
The troops advanced steadily, supported
by the Hotchkiss and Gatling guns, and
drove the enemy through Jaro to the open
country beyond the town. The town OF Jaro
was found deserted, and all portable prop
erty had been removed. When the Ameri-
cans entered the place there were only a
few Chinese mere.
At 4:10 o'clock p. M, Captain Griffiths
raised the American flag over the presi-
dencla.
During the fighting outside of the town,
Lieutenant Frank Bowies, of the Fifteenth
infantry, while working the light battery,
was shot in the leg In addition, one pri-
vate was seriously wounded and two were
slightly injured. The rebel loss was severe.
All was quiet on Monday when Colonel
Potter left Iloio
Two natives attempted to slip past the
United States cruiser Olympia during the
night In a boat. They failed to respond
when hailed, but kept padding along.
After a warning shot a sentry fred at the
boat and killed one of the occupants and
wounded the other.
Several rebels yesterday afternoon, hav-
ing fired from houses bearing white flags
on the American outposts, Colonel Smith,
with companies l. and d of the California
volunteers, proceeded to clean out the en-
emy along his front. The rebels opposed
him from the brush and several skirmishes
occurred, during which nine of the Califor-
mans were slightly wounded before the
rebels were driven out.
The work proceeded today in a systemat-
ic manner, the boats holding the village
and working their rapid fire guns on the
jungle. The California regiment, with the
exception of two companies. four compa-
nies of the Washington regiment, two
companies of the Idaho regiment and a
battalion of the Sixth artillery were en-
gagged. The rebels wero driven toward
Lake Laguna de Bayo. The rebels held
their fire, apparently being short of ammu-
milton, but they fought desperately.
The American outposts in this direction
are now fully twelve miles. All is quiet
along the rest of the line, with the excep-
tion that an occasional exchange of shots
between the sharpshooters breaks the mo-
notony.

If Senate Fails to Pass Army Re-
organization Bill.
PRESIDENT is DETERMINED
And Notifies Republican Leaders That
the Army Must Be increased
Cockrell Bill May Be Report
ed, Bnt Not Adopted.

Washington, February 15-The president
has conveyed assurances to some of the
party leaders in congress, in addition to
those given last week. that he will certain
ly call congress together in an extra ses-
sion If it fails to pass the army reorgani-
zation bill at the present session.
in answer to repeated inquiries, the ad-
ministration has been obliged to decline all
propositions looking to the needs of the
army by passing joint resolution for
an appropriation to be passed to be based
on the present organization, holding that
this device would be utterly inadequate
to meet the absolute necessity of the case.
The status of the volunteers would, it is
said, be extremely unsatisfactory, and
there would be absolutely no assurance
that the president could retain them in
service even when the emergency is great.
The same statement would apply to the
regular army soldiers, who enlisted for
the war. A very serious objection to the
to the war department officials, would be
its failure to supply the staff and line off,
GERS absolutely needed. These officials say
that the pending Hull bill provides for
just S22 original appointments of second

policy of the administration to divide these
places among the states and territories on
the basis of population.
Reports from the senate end of the Capt.
tol convey the Impression to the officials
that the speedist way to secure action on
the reorganization bill is to allow the
Cockrell bill to be reported from the COM
mittee Providing, as it does. for a purely
native soldiery in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, the measure is looked Upon
by the war department officials as most
unsatisfactory. Therefore they have urged
their friends In the senate, while allowing
this bill to be reported from the committee.
to move the adoption of the Hull bill as it
comes from the house as Substitute.

The tugs Cambria. and Cynthia came in

who had been missing since Sunday morn
ing, when the ship was abandoned in the
breakers off Port Royal bar.
the tugs, with Agent carolan on board
the Cambria, left the city at daybreak this
morning, and searched every island and
inlet noI Ithward until the castaways were
found. AT o'clock the party was discov-
cred on Hunting Island and taken aboard
the Cambria. Captain Willis and his men
suffered but little less than the crew of
Mate Beafs boat, which had tied up at the
sea buoy, as told in last nights dispa atches.
binding snow storm
After leaving the ship at O'Clock Sunday
morning the men were at sea for twelve
hours in binding snow and terrific biz
zard. The two boats landed at a barren
island, and, in beaching, both of the boats
were smashed and the men thrown into the
surf. Though almost exhausted and be-
numbed, they managed to scramble beyond
the reach of the waves. What little brack-
ish drinking water they had was lost, to-
gether with the biscuits long since salt
soaked, which had been brought off the
wreck. There was no fresh water and ex-
tremely little fuel and no shelter in any
shape
The captain had. a few matches in
metallic box in his pocket. They were
found to be dry. Tearing the seats out OF
the wrecked boats, after much coaxing, a
fire was made The limited fuel kept the
men from freezing to death. The men how
cred over the little blaze all during the
sleet and snow storm of Sunday night and
Monday, when the mercury was marking s
degrees to 10 degrees above zero.
Reached Hunting Island
On Tuesday morning one of the boats was
temporarily repaired and the unfortunates
all got in to try to reach Port Royal. They
had been without food since Sunday morn
ing, and without water since Sunday after
noon. After painful efforts they reached
Hunting Island. Some soldiers are sta
toned there They took them in and fed
and watered them.
Captain Willis says that at the time the
ship struck the weather was SO thick that
he could not see half the length of the ship.
He says also that something was wrong
with his compass and that the ship was
somewhat out of her course. Captain Will
lis has been in the service of the company
for twenty years.

dare not override this rule that had come
down from the democratic forefathers. But,
if this amendment was declared in order,
he gave notice that he would offer an
amendment to 1t to provide for the issue of
enough additional legal tender notes to
meet the entire cost of the construction of
the canal. Mr.. Dockery declared himself in
favor of building the Nicaraguan canal,
because it woul daid the national defense
and promote commercial expansion, which
he preferred to territorial expansion.
Mr.. Quigg (rep.) of New York interrupted
to call attention to the fact the rights un-
der which the canal was to be constructed
would expire in eight months.
Mr.. Dockery, in reply, said he welcomed
the interruption. 1t disclosed the little
joke in the shape of the claim of the
Maritime Canal company, for which the
senate bill appropriated s5.O00,OO0.
Mr. Hepburn pointed out that If this bill
passed as a separate proposition 1t would
go to conference There the little joker"
might be played, but If placed on this Dill
the house conferees would prevent such an
amendment.
Mr. Dockery limited strongly at influences
outside the hall, the same influences sub
stantially which were back of the Hanna
Payne subsidy bill. These influences, he
said, insisted that 100000 go to certain
gentlemen who were interested In the MARI
time Canal company. In conclusion, he
house that they could not afford in the
closing days of the session to lend them
selves to such an enterprise.
The Only Remedy
Mr.. Grosvernor (rep) of Ohio vigorously
contended that the point of order was not
well taken. He could not understand why
members should get excited because the
representatives of the people were making
honst effort to do that which all polin-
cal parties had sworn they would for the
past five years. Continuing, Mr.. Grosvernor
said that this bill would not haye been Of
fered as an amendment to this bill had not
the chairman of the appropriation commit
tee said that neither the canal nor the ship
subsidy bill should receive attention at this
session. He referred to the refusal of that
gentleman, today, to allow special order
to consider the bill to be made. That, he
said, was war to the knife. This was there
fore the only remedy which could reach the
deadlock. He would do his duty and take
the wrath of the powers that be. He con-
tended that the work of constructing the
canal was now in progress within the mean
ing of the rule.
If this amendment was not placed upon
the pending bill. he declared, no grandchild
of any present member would live long
enough to see the canal built. In event
