A STEAMER RESCUED.
Gallant Action of the GunbOa1
In

News has reached the War Department of
a gallant rescue effected by the gunboat
Manila OF the steamer Vicente Ferry
owned by one Senor Fuset. friendly Fill
pino. which was seized by a band of la
drones and run far up on a reef until en-
tirely clear of the water. There she lay
stranded until Commander Nazro Of the
Manila dispatched a rescue party. under
Lieutenant Norton, which finally succeed
ed in hauling her off from the beach and
setting her afoat again.
The Vicente Ferry had been sent on
trading voyage, but through the treachery
of her crew. instead Of going on with her
trip originally planned, she was turned
over TO band Of ladrones, who thought
to make a piratical cruise their own
account. The insurgents took the steamer
to the Isle of Burias. where she stranded.
The Manila arrived on the scene simply to
examine Into the condition Of the steamer
and to protect the representatives of the
owner who We're to take part in this in
vestigation. But from the actions and re-
marks Of the native pirates Captain NaZro
gathered that should the Filipino captors
realize that the vessel was sought after
they would burn her and destroy what lit
tie they had left on board. Accordingly
the crew of the Manila was set to work on
the task Of getting the steamer Off the
reef. and finally. after days of arduous
labor. had the satisfaction Of seeing the
Vicente Ferry again aioat The natives
helping hand, but stood on the beach and
jeered at each seemingly futile attempt
of Lieutenant Norton and his men to get
the vessel afloat.

GEORGETOWN FINALLY WON.
An Uphill Game Played With Chicago
Cniyersfty.

Yesterdays game on the Georgetown
campus between the local and Chicago
university representatives was Of the en-
joyable, nerve-racking sort; enjoyable be-
cause Georgetown won by the score Of 10
to g. and nerve racking because the visitors
held the lead for the better part of the con-
test and were only headed off in the seventh
inning.
Blewitt was very much to the Chicago
boys liking in the first inning. and when
the dust had cleared away three formid-
able-looking taiies were chalked up to
their credit. In the second Georgetown be-
gan to crawl up, making two runs. In the
third the visitors added one, while the locals
chased three over the plate and pushed
their noses to the front for about two min
utes. Chicago came back in the fourth
with two talies and took the lead by shut
ting out the wearers of the blue and gray.
In the fifth Chicago made two more. ac-
companied by the groanS of the local fol-
lowers. but the latter frightened up when
two blue-and- gray boys came scampering
over the plate. This placed the score at
8 to in favor of the westerners. and the
next inning both sides were blanked. The
seventh opened well for Georgetown. as
it's opponents were BANKED. Then came
the red fire and spinning wheels, the blue
and gray handling their bats with the pre-
cision of experts and the strength of
giants Bing bang went the bats against
the ball. led on by Mite Moran. and when
the spectators had finished their shouting
and the third man was retired Georgetown
had three glitterng tallies marked on the
slate In It's favor, these runs placing
it two to the good. Neither side scored
in the last two innings. and another highly
creditable victory is placed to Georgetown
Universty's credit.
Neither team showed off to unusual ad-
vantage in the field, their retrieving being
bad and throwing worse the locals having
five errors, while the visitors had six. At
the bat both teams were formidable, Har-
per and Smith being banged pretty regu-
larly throughout the contest.
Devlin once more was the star OF the oc-
casion, his homer and double being big
factors in the victory, while his fourteen
put-outs at first were pulled off without
semblance of an error. OHara also played
a nice game at second and hit timely, hav-
ing three safeties to his credit.
Mr.. Kennedy. Chicago's first baseman.
evidently resolved not to take a back seat
on account of Devlin's fine showing, for
he, too. got into the game with both feet,
and. if anything. his work was superior to
that Of the latter. He had but eleven
chances. but they We're handled clean, and
although his hits We're not long, they
Were more numerous, four ringing singles
being his record on the day. Vernon of the
visitors also hit WELL but his fielding was
yellow and disastrous.
Umpire Belts handled the game well, his
decisions for the most part being quick
and accurate, but the locals very properly
were given shade the best of it.

AN EXCITING DAY.

Washington Stirred as 1t Has Not Been
Since the Spanish War.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE day was
the most exciting that Washington has
known since the battle Of Santiago. At
the very beginning came Admiral
Remey's cablegram announcing the de.
feat of the allied forces at Tien Tsin,
and then came the Associated Press
account Of the fight. A special cabinet
meeting was held on receipt of this
news, with such members present as
are in town. Great reluctance was
manifested on the part Of the partici-
pants to answer questions as to the
Stature of the deliberations. The best
indication of it's nature was the de.
parture for the White House of Secre-
tary Hay Immediately after the meet
Ing He sat down and had long talk
with President Mckinley over the long
distance telephone and it soon became
known that the president had decided
that it would be best for him to come
hack from Canton to the national
capital. -.
