OLYMPIA GROUNDED
Struck in Luckes Sound Dur
ing Manoeuvers.
The Mimic War Waged Since Midnight Tues
day viii End at Noon
Today.
(By the Associated Press.)

Portland, Me-, Aug. 2S.-At noon to-
morrow the mimic war waged off this port
since midnight Tuesday, with all manner
of manoeuvers by the navy, will come to
an end and the several thousand men hur,
ried to the defense of the city will be
withdrawn from the harbOr defences.
Today's movements consisted of fierce
engagement, during which landing par
ty of 1880 under Rear Admiral Coghlan
captured all the stations and defenses of
the Scape and Spurwin. The marines and
jackies landed almost at dawn and were
engaged until after noon, when they re-
turned to the fleet, which had remained
off Richmond's Island all day. Rear Ad-
miral Coghlan believed he had achieved
the grandest victory of the navy, but at
3:45 Lieutenant Jordan, in command of the
Engineer Corps at the Two Lights, was
informed by telephone the umpires had de-
cided that no landing was effected by the
invaders, as the men and boats had been
put out of action before the landing was
attempted.
Therefore the capture of all the points
on the cape, including the signal, search
light and fire control stations at Two
Lights. the defenses at Silver Springs and
the searchlight at Pond Cove was void
and they stand as if no attempt had been
made at their capture. This left the i'm
mense searchlights in action for demon
stration tonight. Reports that the in
vaders were marching upon the forts and
the city prevailed, but if such had been
the intention it was not carried out, the
men returning to the ships at 3:45. The
men standing at the entertainments on
Meeting House Hill, three miles from the
city. was reinforced by 500 men from the
forts in anticipation of an assault from the
invaders or an attempt to march upon the
city proper. The capture of this force
would require more than 5000 invaders.
An official message from the Olympia
to the Kearsarge, intercepted at the wire
less telegraph station at Fort Preble and
made public tonight officially confirms
the report of the grounding for forty-five
minutes during the war manoeuvers OF
Admiral Dewey's famous flagship Olympia
The message read:
I'VE are on the rocks. Double bottom
leaking. Can get off without assistance. "
The Press today says that the Olympia
struck Star Ledge in Luckes Sound at a
pointn where the chart showed twenty-slX
feet, but which sounded only twentyfour
or two less than the Olympia's draught,
The cruisers bottom was damaged, caus-
ing her to leak but the water taken IN
was controlled by the vessels dams and
her injuries were not so serious but that
she was able to take part in the manoeuv-
ers yesterday and today.

new masses with such force as to cause
loud detonations. which shook the earth.
Today the eruption continues and the
volume of lava is acquiring vast proper
tions. Decorations inside the volcano have

storm broke furiously. The houseboat
slipped her moorings and travelled rapid

STRONG ARMY FOR MEXICO.
Troops Under President Diaz's Com
 mand Will Soon Number POO GOO.

President Diaz does not believe in limiting his military establishment. Although the re- public has long been at peace. he is pursuing a policy of military expansion which seems likely to develop highly efficient system of national defense. It Is the desire of President Daz that within two years the Mexican Gov ernment shall be able short notice to mo- hilize an army of 200. 900 thoroughly trained and perfectly equipped soldiers. To make this result possible more than BOG. 900 boys and young men are now receiving regular daily military instruction in 1 1 900 public schools of Mexico and the army will be recruited from their number
 This program for the creation of a greater Mexican army is supplemented with plans for a larger naval establishment, two vessels for which under construction at the Cres- cent shipyard, Elizabethtown. N J. In this development of her military resources Mexico is following the natural policy of enlightened nations It is believed in some quarters that the integrity of Mexican institutions will be severely tested when President Diaz retires from office and that a strong Government in cluding effective military establishment will be needed to protect the republic against serious internal disorder. It is possibly with a view to providing for such an emergency that the present movement for a large and trustworthy army has been instituted
