NEW YORK. June 2s.-omcers and
men Of the oattleship Utah. sunburned

CUTTER GOES TO RESCUE
Twenty-Five Porto Ricans Are Re-
ported to Be Starving in
Santo Domingo.

On mission Of mercy. to go to the
rescue Of twenty-five or more starving
Porto Ricans in Santo Domingo, the
revenue cutter Algonquin has been or
dered to proceed to Dominican waters
from her station at San Juan. Porto
Rico.
Requests for the service Of the revenue
cutter Algonquin came from the insular
division Of the War Department. which
has direction over affairs in Porto Rico.
It is probable that the appeal from Porto
Rico was made to the insular govern
ment. Information available fails to ex-
plain the extremity Of the plight Of the
starving men or their presence in Santo
Domingo.
Unsettled conditions in Santo Domingo
may account for the situation Of this
band. It is possible they are refugees
who took unfortunate side in recent hos
tilities, or they may have been engaged
in enterprises in the neighbortng island
Impoverished by war. Whether there are
women and children in the band is not
stated.

TO REMOVE SCHOONER HULK.
Col. Beach to Award Contract for
Work on the Stella I. Lewis.

After having been sunk for several
months and having been abandoned by
her owners, the hulk Of the bay schooner
Stella I. Lewis is to be removed from
the channel of Bodkin creek. a tributary
of the Chesapeake in Maryland on its
western shore. The vessel was sunk in
a collision while bound to Baltimore. and
Col. Beach. engineer officer in charge
of the Baltimore district, will within the
next day or two award the contract for
the work.
When sunk the Lewis had on board
$50 bushels of oysters. The vessel was
owned by W. l. Muir Of Baltimore and
Omar Muir of Oriole, Nd. who ADAM
doned her. The contractor can remove
the wreck whole or with dynamite and
remove all parts. Col. Beach will choose
the method after the bids are passed
upon. The wreck Is in twelve feet of
water and is covered.
1t is probable that the Skinner Ship
building Company of baltimore will lie
given the contract for the construction
Of a big self-prop,lling steel suction
dredge for the United States Army en-
gineer service. The dredge is designed
for duty on the Pacific coast and the
