A NAVAL EXPERIMENT.
Putting Warships In Condition for I'm.
mediate Service.

Putting Warships Ia Condition for I'm.
mediate Service.
Washington, June 9.-Secretary
Long has issued all order for an expert.
ment of the utmost impor lance to the
navy. The purpose is to see how much
time would lie occupied in putting into
condition for active naval service \ part
of the United States fleet to meet an
emergency.
The vessels selected for the expert
ment are the ships Indiana and
Massachusetts, now laid up in ordinary
at League Island, with a skeleton
organization OF officers and men aboard.
Captain Dickens commands the Indiana
and has six officers aud about $50 men
under him. The Massachusetts ia
under command Of Captain Train, with
four officers and about $50 sailors.
Orders have been telegraphed Admiral
Casey. the commandment of the League
Island yard, and the two captains
above named, to put the ships into con.
dition for immediate service, to last at
least 50 days. No notice has been pre-.
viously given of the departments in.
tention. BY the terms OF the order the
ships must clear League island inside
of three days. The officers who have
projected the experiment. hope to do
better than that.
The ships each have about $50 tons
of coal aboard, but must he supplied
with food, maps, bedding, ammuni.
ton, etc. The hardest question to deal
within the present straits of the navy
il that OF personnel. Officers were
wired at once, and 1t was necessary to
rob some OF the bureaus of the navy
department of much-needed assistance.
The officer most remote from League
Island IL Lieutenant Wilson, at Bos.
ton, SO that all Of them should be
aboard ship by tomorrow night.
The Hartford's crew, now at Norfolk,
has been ordered to leave tonight for
League island, and from her numerous
crew the compliments OF the Indiana
and the Massachusetts will be brought
to the standard. About 800 men and
IL officers will be required for each
battleship.

Brave stand vt Cntubig.


Washington, June ll.-Perhaps the
most thrilling and picturesque incident
Of the entire Philippine war occurred
at Catubig. on the island OF Samar,
where, April Is last. a party Of 81 en-.
listed men of company X. Forty'third
volunteers, held at hay force Of some
600 insurgents during four days of fierce
lighting, reinforcements arriving just
the nick Of time. The war depart
mcnt has received reports from Captain
II. NJ. Day, of the Forty.third volunteer
infantry, and First Lieutenant J. I.
Sweeney. of that regiment, who COM
man,led the rescue party. giving all the
details Of the attack, siege and the
relief.
According to the reports the attack
OH the garrison ut Catubig began with.
out warming, Sunday morning. April
Is. From the hills ON all sides, from
every point of vantage in the town and
from deserted church directly adjoin.
ing came rifle and cannon fire OF ter.
rible intensity. Tuesday morning,
bandit OF burning hemp were thrown
into the barracks from the insurgents
in the church and soon the soldiers
refuge was OH fire. All efforts to sub.
due the fire failed. and, finally, the lit
tie band, made dash for the river
bank. Some were killed before the
bank was reached, others fell dead IN
boat in which it was intended to
make the opposite shore, and when
trench was finally dug with bayonets,
only 16 of the 3 were left to man it.
Here, for two more days, Corporal Car.
son, handling his men with the judg'
ment OF y veteran, hold out under
terrible fire until the arrival OF Lieu
tenant Sweeney's command, which had
been ordered to supplement the garri-
son at Catubig, and which was on its
way up the river on the steamer Lao
Aug. Not until within quarter of q
mile OF Catubig. says Lieutenant
Sweeney, in his report. did they hear
the noise OF the engagement. Then he
realized that he and his men were Sore
~ needed and he ordered the captain
of the steamer to run his boat at top
speed. The Lao Aug steamed up to
Catubig under rain of Mauser bullets
from both shores. The small boats
were lowered, landing effected, and
the rescuers fought their way through
the open to their comrades in the
trenches, buried the dead within reach.
brought back to the boat the besieged
party, mum bering now only IS men,
and then steamed down the river.

Shaw's mountain are growing better
and better as development progresses,
says the Boise Statesman. The Nc.
Carthy property is now producing some
very rich ore, specimens showing gold
in large quantities.
In the Paymaster, after following
the ore chute some 800 feet, the man.
agement determined to open stopei

upraises were started for this purpose
and in every one OF them the vein il
far better than in the level. 1t il
about six feet wide, and there is four
and half feet OF ore that runs close to
$40 ton.
Altogether the outlook for this group
is most encouraging. All that was ex'
pected was to open a good property.
but it now looks as though 1t would
turn out to be a bonanza.
Work on the concentrating mill is
progressing rapidly and it is hoped
have the plant ready to run by the
Fourth of July. 1t will be novel

There is no other plant like it in the
West,
