The secretary was speaking of the 13 remgimenl that were culled out today bv order of tho president. .He said that no delay would be allowed in the enlisting, equipping and supplying tht new regiments already organized, and sending them to the Philippines as soon as they were needed for active operations. If the present number of transport ia intmflicient more will Ik procured. The men already enlisted for the Philippine service will bo lent at once and the new regiments will fol low aa fast as they are organized anc needed. While there has been some lapgei tion that the new regiment will b used aa a reserve force, it may bo atated positively that these regiments, as well aa more, if they can be need, will b tent to reinforce (jeneral Otis. Secretary Hoot aunt a copy of tin order of today to the various depart ments of the army and they at onoe be gnu preparations for supplying the nev. organizations. Within hail an boot the ordnance bureau bad sent orderi to the different arsenals directing tha complete outfits of arms and ordnance auppliea for each regiment be sent t the rendezvous wliere they are to b organized.

The gunboat Democrnta left port Tuesday and a rumor was started - that it went to Intercept a vesesl from Hun Fran cisoo carrying Gntling guns, rifle and ammunition to the Yaqnia. The gun boat has not returned, but rumor sayl that it lias captured the filibuster. Uiiaymua is full of Yaquis working at all aorta of occupations. Several aloop laden with produce nnd manned by Yuqui arrived yesterday from tha river. They icport that when tha troops reached Vicam Friday, the town was deserted, and no fight took place. A body of Indians met the tioope on the march toward the town and held them in check until the Yaquis had loft the town and then they disap peared in the wooda. The main body of the Indians, including women and children, crossed on a raft to the nortb bank of the river, mnde detour be hind the troops, and escaped to the mountains. The Yuqui loss in the skir mish was three. Tba horse under General Torres was shot. The remainder of the campaign will probably consist of scouting in the mountain on the part of the troops, and raids in the Guaymas valley ranches by the Indiana. rugtll.t rraliKj Dead.

Marin lilvev Drowned Under ISa Feet r Water. Tacoma, Aug. 19. William Bald win, tha farnoua marine diver, of Seat tle, wa drowned this afternoon while working on the submerged Andelana, '198 feet under water. It ha been contended that diver could not descend deeper than 160 feel. Baldwin said he could reaoh the Andelana, and made three descent. . On the fourth trip down, the terrific air pressure broke tha connecting tubes to hi pneumatic stilt, and he wa drowned. Hi head wa cruabed to pieces by the pressure. Baldwin made hi first trip to tha bottom of Commencement bay on the afternoon of August 9, and broke all previous record for deep-sea diving by going down a little over 83 fathom. When be wa drawn to the surface, af ter Ji is first descent, bis first words, when the helmet wa removed from hia suit were: "I kuew I could reach tba abip and I did." , , When be went down again thia af ternoon his assistants and a few specta tors who wera on the barge, wbicb I moored near where the Andelana i ly ing, jokingly aald goodbye, a they had alway done before, and one of the men at the air pump added, "We'll all attend your funeral." Little did they think that that would We the last time Baldwin would be seen alive. Heretofore the record for the deepest dive made nnder water wa held by Gunner' Mate Morgan, of tba United State oruiser Charleston, who went below the auiface of the water a dis tance of 100 feet. When this record waa made, it waa considered phenomen al, and many thought tbe teat impos sible. At a depth of 198 feet there la a watei pressure of 90 pound to the square inch, and a pressure of 95 pounds to the square inch i neoesaary to force breathing-air to the man be low the water, but this did not deter Baldwin from attempting to reach the sunken ship. In describing tbe feel ing experienced nnder 83 fathom of water, Baldwin said it was a paralys ing sensation "all over the body and limbs, and when theie would be the least bitch in the airpump, the top of his head aeemed to raise about three feet. Ordinary garden hose was used to furnish air to Baldwin, an! this wa only guaranteed to withstand a pressure of 75 pounds, so hi death can be laid only to bis own carlessnees. Before the laisins of the Andelana could finally be successful, it would be neoeasary for Baldwin to go to 86 fath om of water, and he seemed perfectly willing to chalice the danger. Diver Baldwin wa to receive $30,000 for his labors if the Andelana was raised, but now that lie has been killed, it is probable that the abip will continue to lie in Commencement bay for some time to come. This will probably be the last at tempt to raise the sunken ship, a Baldwin was the only man on the coast who would even make the at tetnpt to descend to so great a depth, particularly ao since the water ia al ways muddy on account of the Puval lup emptying into the bay at this point WASHINGTON'S FINE REGIMENT Stand nard.hlpa and Climate Better Tbaa Eaateruera- Portland, Aug. 10 First Lieutenant William E. Weigle, company G, First Washington, who baa recently returned from tbe Philippines, says: "The Washington troops have stood the hardships and olimate of the Phil ippines much better than the Eastern troop a they seem to take more natur ally to the rainy weather. While there has been considerable sickness among the troops, still the number on the sick lilt has been much below the average of other regiments. The lieu tenant ipeaki in high praise of Colonel Wholloy and his ability as a command er, and hai ao hesitancy in asserting that the men of the Washington regi ment stand at the head of the list for all-round good aoldiera, of all the vol unteer now In tbe Philippines. They won words of praise from their corps commander, General Charles King, for their spend id work on more than one occasion. Upon General King' de partuie from the islands, the regiment al commander, Colonel Wholley, was chosen to take bis place as corps com mander. The Washington troops, the lieutenant says, are now awaiting transport? for their return to the Uni ted State and be thinks they will leave Manila about the first of September. Another Rebel Attack.

Zabala, the city's autopsy physician explains the cause of the pugilist's death as follows: "1 found severe contnsions on Franey 's face, shoulders and upper arms. There was a hemorrhage of tbe biain on the left side and the organ itself was in an a anaemio condition. The man must bave received a tenible punishment, and death was nothing more than the result of the blows wbiob were rained on bis face and bead. Tbe impact of tbe bead on the floor bad nothing tc do with it. He was in a dying condi tion before he fell. "Franey should never have entered the ring. An examination of bis lungs showed pleuralio adhesions, and hia system was otherwise broken down. He was fit for practical purposes in life, but certainly not for unnatural exer cisa."
