F1REPRooF WOOD THAT BURNS
Secretary Long Orders It's Use Large
Iy Discontinued.

The Secretary of the Navy yesterday
approved a unanimous report of the
Board on Construction recommending the
discontinuance Of freproof wood for
decks and for all joiner work below pro
tective decks on vessels having protec-
tive decks and on all vessels below the
berth deck. Wood treated by the fire
proofng process will be used, however, in
torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroy
ers, and will be painted. In other ships
metal will be used in place of wood
wherever possible.
The recommendation of the board was
based on reports received concerning the
utility of fireproof woods. a bonfire was
made of fireproof wood taken from the
decks of the Helena, at Manila. The sur
gcon of the Wisconsin complained that
mold gathered on the fireproof wood of
his sick bay. The reports of Naval Con-
strUctor Baxter, who made tests at Bos-
ton, showed the wood when exposed to
the weather for week loses so per cent
Of it's freproofing qualities, and that the
lireprooiing process made wood brittle.

deep water. The boat was now put be-
fore the wind, and every man in her
was on the lookout for the wreck. For
a time the fog was so thick that there
was no possibility of finding the vessel
in distress. Finally a sudden break in
the storm revealed her; she was about
half a mile to leeward.
THE appearance of the wreck as the
men approached it made even the stout
est among them shudder. The YES
sci had settled down by the stern in
the Sands, the uplifted bow being the
only part of the hull that was to be
seen; the sea was making a clear
breach over her. The mainmast was
gone, the foresaiT and fore topsail were
blown adrift, and great columns of
foam were mounting up, flying over
the foremast and bow. Approaching the
wreck, it was with terrible anxiety that
the men strained their sight to dis
cover if there were still any human
beings left in the tangled mass of rig
ging, over which the sea was breaking
so furiously. by degrees they made
them out / see a mans head' shouted
one. Look! one is waving his armY

Why, the rigging is full of the poor fe1-
lows' and with cheer of triumph at
being in time, the lifeboat crew settled
themselves to their work.
THE wreck of the mainmast and the
tremendous wash OF the sea over the
vessel prevented their going to the lee
of the wreck. This increased their dan
ger tenfold, as the result proved. When
about forty yards from the wreck, they
cast the anchor over the side. The mo-
ment for which the boat had SO gal
lantly battled for four hours, and the
shipwrecked had waited almost in de-
spair so long, had at last arrived. Yard
by yard the cable was cautiously turned
out. and the great rolling seas were al
lowed to carry the boat, little by lit
tie, nearer to the vessel, until it was
alongside the wreck. With a cry, three
men jumped into the boat and were
saved.
"'All hands to the cable! Haul in,
hand over hand, for your lives, men,

drew the boat little from the wreck,
the wave passed and broke over the
vessel. If the lifeboat had teen along
side she would have been dashed
against the wreck, and perhaps cap
sized or washed over, and been utterly
destroyed. Again the men watched the
waves. and, as they saw a few smaller
ones approaching, let the cable run
again, and got alongside. This time
they We're able to remain little longer
by the vessel: and, one after another,
thirteen of the shipwrecked men un-
lashed themselves from the rigging and
jumped into the boat Again they drew
away from the vessel in all haste and
avoided the threatened destruction.
The last one left was the cabin boy.
He seemed entangled in the rigging.
A boatman made spring. seized the
lad with a strong grasp. and tore him
from the rigging, placing him in the
life boat
THE life boat men at once hauled
in the cable as fast as possible. and
drew away as rapidly as they could
from the wreck. AS soon as all were
clear of the vessel. they cut the cable,
and the terrible suspense was over.
Each moment was one of fearful risk"

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

II now appears that some of the good
people OF this town are disposed to
take the Presidents reference to Ha-
viii in his message as an attack upon
established industry. No conclusion
could be more foreign to the obvious
intent of the message and the charac-
ter OF the man as he is known in pub
lie life.
By his reference to the large estates
titled by cheap labor some men seem
to think the President Is bent upon a
policy of driving every large estate in
the Territory to the wall and by his
reference to the land laws and the i'm
portance of following the general lines
of the American land policy. that he
intends to enter upon a policy Of dis
possessing every sugar plantation of
the lands It holds under lease from tho
government. Here again the impress
sion is wrong II It Is an honest ono
and maliciously vicious II, as is prob
able In some instances, 1t is put for
ward for the purpose of creating d
scare, or with the direct intent of mis-
representing the executive policy.
Except to those who believe that the
country will go to the dogs unless Chi
nese labor is given the plantation there
Is not a word, not thought in the
Presidents message that indicates a
policy of antagonism or destruction of
the sugar estates of this Territory
whether they are titled by cheap labor
or not, There is not word or line
to suggest the conclusion that seems to
be drawn by many that the President
wants to cut up the lands of these plan
tations where held under leases from
the government and parcel them out
to others. Vested interests have their
rights, their just claim to consideration
from all men and certainly the Presi-
dent will not dispute those rights nor
has he done SO,

That the duties heretofore collected
