Hoard Not Ready to Report on aues-
tiOn of Removal.

Washington, July 2.-Rear Admiral
Endicott says he does not loof for a re-
port from the naval board on the pro-
posed transfer of the naval station from
Port Royal TO Charleston for several
weeks.
The members of the board have return
ed to their respc ctive posts pending a call
for a final meeting by the president of
the board, Rear Admiral Rodgers. In the
course of their investigation the board
ordered a number of surveys to be made
at Charleston and also at Port Royal, to
enable them 10 reach a correct conclusion
ac to the facilities offered at both places
for the requirements OF the government
1t will probably take three or four weeks
to complete the surveys and investlga-
lions, so that the data may be placed be-
fore the board to ass st the members in
reaching a final conclusion
There is no way of anticipating the ac-
tion of the board, for II IS unders TODD that

their judgment wi be largely influenced
by the result OF surveys yet to be made.
There Is a disposition to push the pro-
ceedings right along wi bout any unneces.
sary delay, so thar whatever decision is
reached, 1t will be with the same p ompt-
ness which has characterized the assem-
bling and delibeT ations Of the board.

TWO POLICEMEN KILLED.
Work of Two Negro Desperadoes
Almost Led to Serious Riot
in New Orleans Yesterday.

New Orleans, July PA trihing Incl
dent has begun series of tragedies
which may eliminate in a popular upris-
ing similar to the Italian lynching some
years ago.
Two suspicious negroes were hanging
around a quiet neighborhood and some
body took the precauton to inform the
police. Several officers went to the scene,
and instead Of making explanations or go
ing to jail the negroes showed fight
Pistols were soon in play and officer
Mora was seriously shot. one of the ne
groes was arrested, but Robert Charles,
who did the shooting. since said to be
desperate burglar and ex-convlct, got
away, although wounded.
The police organized pursuing party
and succeeded in locating the fugitive.
Capt. John T. Day, commanding the pre-
ciuct, led a posse of police to his shanty
and tried to reach the refugee by a dark
alley leading to it. They carried lanterns
and were easily distinguished and when
they got close enough Charles opened
fire with a Winchester. killing Capt Day
and keeping up the fusiiade until the
captain had five wounds In him.
A negress opened the door of an adjoin-
ing room and told the police to jump in as
Charles had rifles and ammunition and an
impreguable position. They obeyed, think
ing to hold Charles in his quarters until
help or daylight came Officer Lamb was
the last of the three survivors 10 attempt
to reach shelter, after emptying his re-
volver in the direction of the negro, and
Charles reached out and dropped him with
a bullet behind the ear.
Nearly an hour elapsed before reinforce
ments came and these were placed around
the block to prevent escape. II was then
discovered that Charles had already left
the room, though shot at the pickets
told that he was in the neighborhood.
The two dead policemen were removed.
and systematic search organized, but no
trace of the fugitive was found. Police
armed with rifles and citizens similarly
equipped. and a borrowed bloodhound kept
up the quest and had Charles been sight
ed he would have been shot to pieces.
Mayor Capdevielle offered a reward of
hundred dollars and Gov. Heard has
added two hundred and fifty dollars for
the state, Part es are out in all direc-
tions, even miles away from the city, and
all trains and cars are being searched,
Suspects were arrested in the suburbs.
but were not the right men.
In the meantime the police had work
to do and the whole force was kept busy.
Thousands of people gathered around
the scene Of the shooting. and lacking a
victim or other excitement. proposed ven
geance on the property and on the ne
groes in the novels around. The police
promptly queled the dlsturbers and Jail
ed a number, but the guard had to be in
/ creased.
A committee from the respectable col
ored element called On Chief Caster to-
day and offered aid in running down the
murderer, and as some of them know the
man by sight. their services were accept
ed.
The excitement has not yet died out and
the capture Of the negro. who is likely
hiding in the city, may art the mob 60
