REPORT FROM ADMIRAL Caps.
Extent Of Damage to Government
Property at Pensacola.

Secretary Bonaparte has received the fol-
lowing Geographic report from Chief Con-
structor Capps, who is at Pensacola, dated
October l: 1.-The Gloucester, Vixen, coal
barge No. and the tug Accomac are rest
Ing easily on a sandy beach and can be
foated at convenience. The damage to the
coal barge and the Gloucester and to the
tug IS not serious. The Vixen is badly dam
aged on port bilge and the stern and rud-
der posts are broken. The Machias and
Waban are sunk at the dock. The Machias
was seriously damaged by rammng the
stone seawall. Raising her will be difficult,
but is practicable. The Waban is apparent
ly unchanged and will be easily raised
Both vessels are to be examined this (Mon-
day. afternoon by divers. The Isla de
Luzon is damaged on the port side by a
collision with Machias, but is afloat, and
the leaks are entirely under control.
Seven barges We're wrecked Three of
them are high on the sand beach. The re-
naming four are bottom side up at their
buoys. The steel dock dragged it's mornings
and is hard aground, but is practically UNI
injured. The wooden dock is completely
wrecked. Other yard craft are ashore. The
shop machinery is only slightly injured The
roofs and exposed walls of many shop
buildings and storehouses are badly dam
aged, but can be easily repaired. The
power plant is now being overhauled and
will be in operation in two days. The yard
is strewed with wreckage of all kinds and
is completely isolated.

R0BB HIGHLY PRAISED
PRESIDENT INCLINED TO AP-
POINT HIM A LOCAL JUDGE.

President Roosevelt has told several Of
his callers that he is hesitating whether
to appoint Charles H. Robb, assistant at
torney general of the Department of JUS
tice, as an associate justice of the Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia.
Attorney General Moody, Senator Knox,
former Attorney General and several other
strong men have told the President that
Mr.. Robb would make an excellent man for
the place. The President has fully agreed
with what they have said, but has told
some of his callers that he regards Mr.
Robb as too valuable man in his present
position to send him away. That Mr..
Robb deserves promotion, and something
even higher than proposed, the President
recognizes, but he does not know whether
the government could afford to relinquish
the services of so good a man at this time.
Mr.. Robb has not been a candidate for
the judgeship, and was not even thinking of
1t until informed that his name had been
presented to the President by the Attorney
General.
Mr.. Robb, it is learned, had given his in
dorsement for the position to Justice STAFF
ford Of the Supreme Court of the District,
both men being from the same state-Ver-
mon. The Attorney General. however, is
understood to have told the President that
under no circumstances would he recon-
mend either Justice Stafford or Associate
Justice Gould for the same court, for the
Court of Appeals, believing that the fight
pelWeeIl the ITleLOS OF tHeSe men nad grown
so bitter as to prevent either being pro-
NOTED.
1t was believed by the Attorney General
that the selection of Mr.. Robb, aside from
his legal fitness for the place, would not be
Objectionable locally, Mr.. Robb has
lived here five years and is at least
quasi citizen.
Just what the President will do can not
be stated. He has the whole matter under
consideration and may make appoint
ment any day.
Mr.. Robb handled the memorable post
office cases in their early stages. He was
then the legal officer of the Post Office De-
partment. His work was conspicuous for
its courage and wisdom, and he was highly
commended to the President by Postmaster
General Payne and the special counsel who
were retained by the government

FOUR WERE KILLED
EIGHT OTHERS INJURED IN A
CURIOUS ACCIDENT.

BALTIMORE, October 3.-Four men were
killed and eight others injured, two perhaps
fatally, in an accident at the works of the
Maryland Steel Company at Sparrows Point
today. Three of the dead are negroes The
victims were overwhelmed by a rush of
flaming gas and coke from a hole in one of
the blast furnaces caused by the forcing
out Of its socket of casting which held
the compressed air pipe. The men had just
put in new air pipe and the blast had
been turned on about ten minutes when the
accident occurred. The officials of the COM
pany, after an Investigation, declared that
no unusual conditions caused the accident
They were at loss to account for it.
No explosion occurred and the furnace was
not damaged.

OUESADA WILL REMAIN
CUBAN MINISTER TO CONTINUE
TO EXERCISE HIS FUNCTIONS.

Both Secretary Root and Secretary Taft
have asked Senior Don Gonzales de Quesada
to remain at his post in this city as minis
ter from Cuba. The request is contained
in letter written by Secretary Root to
Senior Quesada, and is as follows:
"A dispatch from Mr.. Bacon in Havana
has been received today at the Depart
ment of State as follows:
1.-The Secretary of War instructs me to
ask you to say to Quesada that the secre-
tary hopes he will not think of resgning;
that his services will be Of the greatest
value to Cuba and to the United States in
this great crisis, and that he relies upon
the assistance which he feels sure that
Minister Quesada will be willing to render
with self-sacrifice for the restoration of his
country to her constitutional government.
Il wish to add my own personal request
to that of Secretary Taft. It seems to me
that your service was never more needed
by your country than now. and that it
would be a misfortune If you were to lay
aside that official position which may en-
able you to make your service effective I
am much distressed by the events which
have occurred since we left the United
States to attend the conference at Rio
but / do not think there is just reason for
the friends of Cuba to despair of her lib
erty, her independence or her success in
Self-government. You will recall that the
provision of the Cuban constitution and the
treaty under which the United States is
now acting provides the right to inter-
vene for the preservation of Cuban indie
pendence,' and you will perceive in the
terms of Secretary Tafts proclamation
that such is the purpose of the govern
ment of the United States. To secure the
successful accomplis hment of this purpose
as speedily as possible, all friends of Cuba
ought to unite their earnest efforts. With
hopeful courage and determine ton on the
part of Cuba's real friends all this wretched
business will soon be over, and we shall
look back upon it as merely a hard lesson
In the course of Cubas development in the
art of self government"
The Cuban minister later said to Star
representative:
II expect to remain in Washington as
the representative of Cuba, at least for the
present, in accordance with the request
asking that 1 retain my post. I have de-
cided that shall better serve the interests
of Cuba in accepting Secretary Taft's in
tive"
