Stephen Crane Dead.

BADEN WELLER, (Baden), June 5.
Stephen Crane, the American author
and war correspondent, died here to-
day. aged 80 years. Stephen Crane four
wears ago made great hit with THE
Red Badge of Courage" It Is cast In
the form of a romance and is a detail
ed study of the development of raw
recruit in our Civil War under the fire
of the enemy. What made it note
worthy was that Crane could have had
no real experience Of what he describ'
ed with a mastery force and graphic
realism not surpassed by Tolstoi in his
sketches of Sebastopol.

ORDERED TO SEA.
Two Battlesnips Started OF in a
Hurry.

PHILADELPHIA. June 6.-Under
orders from the Navy Department the
battleships Massachusetts and Indiana,
at the League Island Navy yard, are
being prepared for sea. The orders
give no clew as to what service the ves-
sells may be called into, the notice to
commandant Casey being simply to get
the ships ready and dispatch them as
soon as possible to Hampton Roads,
where they are to await further orders.
The warships were this morning piloted
out of the reserve basin around to the
Delaware river front, where prepara-
tions for departure were finished. Both
vessels were practically ready to go to
sea when orders came, having been
thoroughly overhauled at the Brooklyn
navy yard before their arrival here.
The two vessels are loaded with
enough coal to make a trip across the
Atlantic and they contain large sup
plies of ammunition. There are 12O
men in the reserve crew of each ship,
the balance of the complement Of 405
sailors and so marines having been dis
tributed among various naval stations
after the vessels reached here from
Brooklyn.
The full crews were filled out with
the 525 men who came here on the
frigate Hartford from Hampton Roads
and the other details ordered here
from New York and Boston. The
Hartford's men include four hundred
| landsmen who have just been brought
around from San Francisco. Recruits
were also taken from among the sixty
landsmen and apprentices on the re-
ceivng ship at League Island.
