last night and the arrest of the crew

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE loss
at one time of six bright young mid
shipmen, fresh from the Academy at
Annapolis, a young marine officer,
very recently appointed, and boat
swain and four enlisted men attached
to the battleship Minnesota--twelve
men altogether today--was one OF the
most severe blows that has fallen up
on the personnel of the navy since the
Spanish war, in the estimation of the
officials.
The first news of the calamity,
which resulted from the loss of
steam launch, reached the department
through the Associated Press dis
patches from Norfolk. Acting Secre-
tary Newberry and Admiral Brown
son, Chief of the Navigation Bureau,
and the seasoned naval officer who
make up the staff, hoped that there
had been a mistake, because they had
received no word from Admiral Evans.
Commander-in-C Chief of the Atlantic
fleet, who was present in Hampton
Roads. A wireless message was dis
patched from the station at the Wash
ington Navy Yard directed to the fieets
lying in the Roads, inquiring into the
accuracy of the report. Within half
hour the answer came from Admiral
Evans, and it dissipated the last hope
that had been cherished
