ASHINGTON.-A perusal OF the
Navy Register in the depart

that Capt. Lucien Young has
been advanced twice in rank
for conspicuous gallantry in
time OF danger.
When Lucien Young OF the
United States navy reported at
Annapolis for examination for
entrance to the naval academy
the examining board looked
upon a youthful Samson. He

Lieut.. Jungen. The little
squadron picked up a prize
in a vessel loaded with pro-
visions and intended for the
Spaniards and then the three
vessels entered the Azuraga
Pass.
Young discovered a gum
boat at anchor near a block
house. The Wompatuck was
unable because of her draft
to go in with the Hist and
the Hornet. The guns of the
two American vessels put
the Spanish gunboat out OF
business after a lively en-
gagement. in which nearly a
thousand Spanish soldiers on
shore had a hand. The Span
iards were not more than
400 yards away from the
American boats and they
literally swept the decks
with bullets.

in the series.

the university campus and are said TO
have signed with the Newman profeS-
sional team, CauSley at his old position
as shortstop. and Myers as first base
man and manager.
The university will line up tomorrow
against the Olympic team of San Fran
