spA1N's FLOATING DRY DOCK.
for Its Purchase by tn
United States.

Preparations for Its Purchase by the
United States.
Secretary Long will in few days an
nounce the appointment OF board to 60
to Havana to look at the floating dry
dock there. which the United States has
agreed to purchase in case it meets expec-
tations. This piece Of Spanish property did
not go with the Island Of Cuba. 1t was one
Of the remaining Spanish assets at the
close of the war. and was offered to the
United States for $500. Coo After some cor
respondence our Government decided that
it would give $780, for the dock if it
came up to requirements. and Congress ac-
cordingly placed at the disposal Of the Sec
rotary OF the Navy s275. 900. the remaining
$4,000 to be used for its transportation to
whatever place might be determined upon
for its location.
Secretary Hay has notified the Spanish
that our representatives are
now ready to inspect the property, and has
asked that facilities be afforded them to do
SO. AS soon as this formality is complied
with, the board will be announced. In case
ii the purchase Of the dock, the question
will arise as to where 1t should be put.
Some point on the Florida coast was origi-
nally intended. but of late many naval ex-
perts have expressed themselves in favor
Of San Juan. Porto Rico, and it is quite
likely that the subject will require con-
siderable investigation. The dock is large

Crom the Salt Lake Eersld)
Mrs. Ralph Guthrie is not ia the habit
of taking $50 mile journeys, half the dis
lance by stage and through the bad
lands for the fun of the thing. Neither
can 1t be said that she went On this trip
for pleasure, but the lady covered the
distance from Salt Lake to Fort Duchesne
all because of a mistake of two letters in

to keep Mrs. Guthrie posted on his where

But, alas, the revenue man was trained
in I, commercial college. and there are
necessarily some peculiarities in his PEN

the operator took the despatch at Price,
Mr.. Guthrie having by this time gone on
toward Verna1, he read It: Come to Ver-

There were only three words: Come
to vernal," but there were enough. Mrs.
Guthrie reasoned that her husband would
not have sent for her unless he wanted
her. and she knew that he would not have
her make that rough trip unless something
had gone decidedly wrong. She drew the
conclusion that he was i'll. So the little
woman bundled a few clothes together

the eastbound train, unaccompanied.
Mrs. Guthrie arrived at Price, about rs

RECRUITING OFFICERS BUSY.
Plenty of Applicants for Army and
Navy.

| PLENTY of Applicants for Army and
| Navy.
NEW YORK. July 1s.-while the prospect
| of service in China has effected a great
| increase in the recruiting OF men for the
army and navy. the enlistment of men for
the Marine Corps is progressing very slow
ly. This city has always had the reputa-
ton of being a poor place for recruiting
marines. but it was thought that the as
surarce of service in China, which has been
offered to recruits for the Marine Corps in
the past ten days, would serve to stimulate
enlistment in that branch Of the service
But up to the present time such has not
been the case; the enlistments are stin
keeping up the old average of about ten
men q day.
The recruiting officers in charge OF the
Marine Corps office at 1O9 West Street have
now received orders to make extra eff
forts to enlist men, 1t is expected that
900 marines will go to China on August 1,
and the greater Fart of that number will
probably be made Up Of recruits. The re-
crTitiEg omcers here have been instructed
to ofer the inducement of Chinese service
to applicants for enlistment Sergeant
Frederick, who is in charge OF the recruit
ing office at the present time. says that
he has hopes that the recruiting will take
q SPuAe WAru ~ uCCOtucS ScueIdlly Known
that recruits may go to China IL they wish.
Just row. however. things are very dull.
Very different is the condition OF affairs
in the recruiting Office at Third Avenue and
Nintk Street and the recruiting ONCE for
the navy in South Street. Major Wheeler.
the recruiting officer at the Third Avenue
station. is sending Twenty-Five or thirty
men to Fort Slocum or Plattsburg every
day. He said this morning that he was
getting fine class Of men, too. All of
them are APPLYING for service in China, but
Major Wheeler cannot give them any def
NE assurance that they will be sent there.
DR.. Leewald, the examining surgeon, puts
the men through a very severe physical
examination and rejects about four out Of
every ten applicants.
Lieutenant Russell, who is in charge Of
the navy recruiting office, at 81 South
Street, said this morning that very few
recruits had requested Chinese service.
The enlistment OF men, however, is very
brisk. From fifteen to twenty men are
taken into the service every day. Among
the recruits are q humber of machinis;s
and second-class electricians. Lieutenant
Russell believes that more men are going
into the navy now than at any time since
the Spanish war. The recruits cannot coruc
too fast. as there are a number OF vessels
deficient in their compliments of men.

NEW YORK. July 1s.-Dr. Louis Klopsch
of the christian Herald" who recently
returned from tour of inspection of the
vast famine area Of India, says that now
that rain is falling there u new problem is
presented. Unless blankets by the hun
dred thousand and clothing in Wholesale
quantities are supplied at once thousands
Of people already saved from starvation
will die for want OF proper bodily protec-
ton.
DR.. Klopsch made two trips into tie
famine districts. going first 500 miles south
from Bombay and then an equal distance
north. covering in all more than 1000
miles. He visited Poona. Khedogan. Dhond.
and Amcdnegar. and then Baroda. Cobra,
Dohad. Nariad, Amedabad. and viragam.
He inspected every relief camp AID every
poorhouse along the route.
DR.. Klopsch gave the following account
of his trip today:
''On the day of our arrival In Bombay
the streets were literally crowded with
walking skeletons. Every step Of the way
we were besieged by men, women, and
children in the last stages Of restitution.

Where did these unfortunate people

1t is not exaggeration to say that have

Since the LIST of last January the deaths
by starvation in India in any one month
outnumber all the British losses in the
Boer war today. The number Of famine
victims who have died since the first Of
the year exceed the total of 100000, at
which figure our loss in the civil war is
computed"
