employe of the government for twenty years past but he, like all others, will be expected to give his attention to the in- quiry.
 The Secretary realizes that there are on the other hand many men not em- ployed by the government who have grievances against officials and are dis posed to make all the trouble for them they can. These men he designates as 'grafters." Any official who, may oppose their designs is certain to be made the subject of the harshest censure by them. The Secretary announces his determine ton to protect officials who are doing their duty against the schemes of all such peo- pie.
 Several officials. who already have been detected in questionable transactions have been summariiy dismissed, while the resignations of others have been re- quested. The Secretary takes the posi- ton that 1t does not promote the public interest to publish the names of dis missed officials.
 These dismissals and others occurred before the Indian Rights Association had called attention to irregularities in the Territory and most of them were the re- suit of the personal investigations of the Secretary.

NAVY MAKES GRAND COUP Captured Long Island from ! Id Forces. THE Ag i'S FINE PLAY
  DeStrg d i7 Vessels in Att
 5s tack on Harbor. Long Island Which Was Captured Was Considered of Greatest Im-
 portance-war Game at Port
 land Continues.
THE AZ l's FINE PLAY

Portland, Aug. N.-The events and de- velopments in the war game today were said to be the most important since the hostile fleet first appeared off Portland. The navy made grand coup in the cap tuIe of Long Island in the forenoon while the army made a spectacular play in the destruction of all the seventeen ships that were attached to the coast de- fense in the afternoon. The navy. how ever. seems to have had, a little better of it, for strange as it may seem, the cap ture of Long Island was considered more important than the destruction of the seventeen vessels. Long Island has been declared out of the game until tomorrow night at g o'clock. The big searchliRhts wiu not be working which will be of al- most inestimable value to the navy. On the other hand after sunset the destroyed warships went back into commission again. The Hartford fought with the fleet, and although a training ship has been used as a cruiser.
 The movements last night and early to- day were not of great importance. None of the big ships took part.
 The move of the navy for which the defenders were waiting proved disastrous for the land forces. An attacking force of 1.4OO tackles and marines which left the fleet in eighteen ship boats and five steam launches, lowed by the gunboats Scorpion and Peoria, landed on the eastern points of Long Island, stormed the heights, captured the slender garri- son of 300 men, the two big sixty inch searchlights and the 36-inch search light and took entire possession of the island for the navy forces. The attack was led by Captain Swinnerton of the battleship Texas. The soldiers on shore did not repel the attack until the naval force had landed, remaining in ambush in the woods. As the tackles reached the shore, the four six-pounders of the land battery opened fire. It was soon silenced by the heavy guns of the Scorpion and Peoria. This brought the affair to climax and the invaders were declared vietors.
 The land force was under command of Major Striker of the heavy artillery reg ulars, and consisted of six companies of Maine National Guard. attachments from various companies of the S4th, seth. 105th and 120th regular artillery regulars, from the 3rd battalion engineer corps, Wash ington, D. C., signal corps men and hos pital corps men. The attacking force in- cluded men from every battleship and cruiser of the fleet and the Maine naval reserve.
 The fleet of sixteen warships was re- ported at 12:55 off Higgins Beach at the extreme end of Cape Elizabeth, with lights dowsed. landing party from Old Orchard was reported marching to- ward the harbor defenses at a. m. The patrols were doubled.
