DEMOCRATS WILL
 NOT BE BOUND House Caucus Stood Out Against Any Battleship
 Authorization.
TO FORGE PRESENCE
No Majority Vote Rat Floor Leader Underwood Carried ResOlu-
 ton Recalling tbsentees,
Washington, July 24-Daeiding

Washington, July 24-Daeiding in caucus, by vote of 70 to 62, to stand out against any battleship authorization at thIs session of Con- gress, the Democratic House tonight recorded it's determination to prevent the sentiment of the country ah eX- pressed at national political conven- tions and to override the will of the people.
 Representative Burnett, of Alabama has led the fight against the battle ship construction because he could not get money for public buildings, forced the opposing vote on battle- ships at the causus tonight and pledged Democrats to a continuance of their policy of hostility to the American navy.
 There are 231 Democratic members of the house and but 132 members at tended the caucus. Democratic Floor Leader Underwood cast his vote for compromise with the Senate on it's program for two battleships. Im- mediately he offered resolution which was adopted that all Democrat ic absentees shall be recalled that they can participate in the House Legislation. ":
 The action of the Democratic eau GUS tonight is not final. The ques- ton of the two battlaship approprfa- ton at this session is coming back to plague the Democrats.
 When the vote was announced sev- eral members gave notice that they would demand exemption. from caucus bonds on the subject of battleship construction. Others of the 62 mem- bers voting aga 'nst the caucus reso- lution have one day in which to de- clare in writing their intentions not to be bound by the caucus action It takes a two-third majority in Dem ocratio caucus to bind finally. This majority was not had in the vote to- night.
 Democratic advocates of battleships announced tonight that unless there is resembling of the caucus action and either full freedom left to mem bers to vote as they shall determine or a compromise on one battlesh D effected, they will''bolt the caucus and vote for two battleships with the Republicans. They can carry the two- battleship program if they should adopt this course.

SEA FORCE BEATEN IN
WAR AT FT. ROSECRANS

SAN DIEGO, Aug Theoretically
speaking, the Fifth and Eighth COM
panies of coast artillery, n. G. c., en-
camped at Fort Rosecrans, annihilat-
ed a formidable attacking force from
the sea. Mines were exploded, the 10
inch guns were placed in position, and
in everything but the actual shooting
and resultant carnage actual war con-
ditiOnS prevailed.
Major H. R. Fay, in command of the
militia forces, directed the first prac-
tical night work the reserve soldiers
have yet seen. SentrieS were main
tanned about the fort, actual war con
ditions prevailed, as near as possible,
and all persons seeking to cross the
lines We're halted and compelled to
give the pass word. Service ammuni-
tion was carried by the sentrieS and it
would have resulted seriously had an
effort been made to defy the military
authority.
The powerful searchlights, situated
at different points of vantage around
the fort, were in use throughout the
night, their strong light Illuminating
the coast for a distance of several
miles. The government boat, General
DeRussy, towing target, attempted to
get within range of the fort, but the
vigilant sentinels at Battery Wilkeson
spotted the vessel long before it was
in range and not only was it theoretic-
ally destroyed by the big guns, but by
the mines as well.
Interesting work is in progress with
the large guns again today. The mon
ster weapons, larger by far than any
now carried on any of the cruisers of
the Pacific fleet, have been fitted with
a sub-calibre arrangement by which a
small bullet, equal to a 22-calibre she'll,
is fired. These guns are being sighted
and fired with just as much care as if
they carried 10-inch service shells.
The work of sighting the guns and
finding the range, which constituted
most of the practice yesterday, was
highly satisfactory, not only to Major
Fay and his men, but to the regular
army officers, who are interested spec
