Converse is in delicate health just now
but it is expected that he will take q
long leave of absence this summer IOl
the benefit Of his health.
Admiral Converse is q native of YER
mont and began his naval service In
November, 1861. His last tour OF sea
service expired in October, 1908, since
which time he has been on duty In TINS
city on various important assignments
He reached the grade Of Rear-Admiral
in November, 1904, and has had about
IA years sea service.
Orders have been issued at the Navy
Department for the repair Of the old
gunboats Alvarado and Sandovai, cap
tured from the Spanish navy. These
vessels, which are in pretty bad condi-
ton, are at the Norfolk Navy Yard. IL
is estimated that it will cost about $15,-
900 to put the vessels in habitable and
seaworthy condition.
A memento of the San Francisco hor-
ror was received at the Redemption d.
vision OF the Treasury Department last
week in the shape Of a steel money box
or safe. The contents consisted of $24b
in paper currency, number OF coins
and gold ring.
The box Is five inches high. six inches
wide, and IL inches long. 1t had been
divided into four parts by strips OF red
wood, which burns slowly. 1t was re-
ceived at the Treasury in the same con-
dition in which it had been found, as
the owner made no attempt to open It,
Upon prying the door open here 1t was
found that the intense heat had charred
every portion of the redwood, had also
charred the paper money. 1928 of which
was wrapped in roll. and had discol-
ored and bent the coins, which were OF
gold. silver. nickel and copper. An 49,
karat gold ring had turned dull black.
The charred money which Is being
received from San Francisco will be
examined and identified by only one
employe of the bureau. Officials OF
the Department state that the money
charred in the recent fire is much easier
to identify than that received after
other great CONGREGATIONS. The citi-
zens not only left most of their paper
money in safes and vaults, but did not
attempt to recover it until the recep-
tacles had completely cooled.
