from Admiral Remey received atthe ma
w department makes plain the reason
why the gunboat Nashville was sent
10 Taku instead of the Helena, as re-
quested by the navy department in an
swer 10 Admiral Kempff's appeal. Ad-
miral Remey reports that the Helena Is
now at the capital of the island OF Pa
nay serving as station ship. she Is
in need of two months repairs aud was
consequently unavailable for the re-
quired service.
Admiral Kempff's dispatch this morn
ing makes no mention of any undue
delay in the movement of the foreign
forces upon Pekin. and, as he Is in
position 70 secure the latest and most
accurate news from the relief column
the officials here believe they have been
no untoward happenings. Some sur
prise is expressed at the strength OF the
column. There is a sincere regret en-
tertained at the navy department. al
the comparatively small representation
of the United States in this movement.
But Ii IS said the navy has done all IT
can TO meet the calls upon 1t. The in
timation is very clear that II further
reinforcements are needed for the CHI
nese service recourse must be had 10
the United States army. Ii is officially
declared. however, that there is still
no intention OF sending any United
States troops to China.
Admiral Remey has also notified the
navy department of the departure yes

SAILOR RESCUED IN KIDocEAs.

Capt. Warner of the Nome steamer
Charles ID. Lane hass just received
news of the remarkable rescue OF his
brother, an apprentice on .hs British
ship Barfillan, Capt. Arthur. It is not
more than once in lifetime that a man
will tumble overheard I'm mldocean and
be picked up after boats crew has
searched hours for him. This was the
experience OF Harry Warner. and To the
nerve and -heartedness OF Capt. Ar
thur he owes his rescue, says the San
Francisco Examiner.
The ship was bound from Cardiff for
Santa Rosalia. and was i'm the tropics
at the time. The apprentice was for
ward fishing, when tug ON his line or
a lurch of the vessel carried him over
board. A life buoy was thrown after
him and the ship was hove 10 i'm short
order. boat was lowered and for
three hours the crew searched i'm vain
for the young sailor. Then they re-
turned 10 the ship without having seen
any signs of the boy or the life pre-
server.
But Capt. Arthur had not given up
the search by any means. He figured
out that NJ the buoy could not be found
young Warner must have reached IN.
Then the captain realized that the wind
had been carrying the vessel 20 lee
ward. while the boy would remain al
most stationary. For II hours the Bar
filian kept tacking and retacking where
the captain supposed the missing boy
60 be. At length. when darkness was
settling on the vessel. the lookout for
ward sighted Warner with the life buoy
about him. The lad was picked up
more dead than alive. but two days
later he was as lively as ever. Cant.
Arthur has not been In this port with
the Barfilan for nearly two years bur
he Is we'll known and kindly remem-
bercd here.
