Charleston Starts With
Ammunition for
Dewey.
OKDHKhl) TO LOAD TO LIMIT
At I.rnit One R Mil rati mid Firty Tons
Aaaaaaaltiai Will it. Takes The
tlty of Paklag win Koiiow IkarUp
with Troapa FhUlpplae laaargeata.
Washington, May 13. The nary
department decided to have tho crui
ser C'hiirlcston start immediately on itn
relief mis-ion to Dewey's fleet t Mn
nilln. The Charleston will leave with
out waiting to convoy tho City of T -king
and other ships loaded with sup
plies. The orders to the commandant
of tho navy-yard nt Mare island are to
put 011 botld tho Charleston all the
limn unition she will carry, so long as
her steaming capacity is not retarded.
It is the understanding here that at
least 150 tons of ammunition can be
pUt OH board. It is estimated that it
will take the Charleston two weeks to
reach Manila.
The rush orders to tho Charleston
will have the result, possibly, of oblig
ing the department tO send another ves
sel, probably the Philadelphia, along
with tho troop transports, which are
expected to go out from San Francisci
about the end of the week, as it is very
unusual in time of war to send such
transports without a warship for con
voy. lly extraordinary efforts on the part
of the authorities here, all the powder,
shot and shell requisite for the relie!
expedition have been assembled at San
Fruneisco already, though it was at
first thought it would lake until the
15th to draw these supplicB from the
various points. The ammunition in
cludes 500 rounds of big projectiles for
the guns of the Olympia, and about
20,000 six-inch shells, and 10,000 live
inch shells, as nil the cruisers of Ad
mirul Dewey's fleet mount five and six
inch guns. Thcie is also an ample
supply of the smaller sizes of shot and
shell for the machine and rapid-lire
gnus. Tho stock of powder will be in
three lots, aggregating over 70,000
pounds.
The Charleston bus u crew of about
300 men, und this probnhly will be
augmented by a marine gourd of a few
hundred men. The Charleston is a pro
tected cruiser of 3,730 tons displace
ment, built of steel, und mounts eight
guns in her main battery. Shu has
twin screws, and an indicated horse
power of 0,060, The authorities In ie
hardly expect her to make more than
13 knots, owing to her heavy stock of
coal, ammunition and supplies. Her
coalbunkers ore rather limited, so that
she will probably bare to stop at Hono
lulu to recoal.
Tho City of Peking, which will fol
low her, is n very fast merchantman,
capable of being pushed to 1H knots or
more, so that even with the handioa
she has of starting several days after
the Charleston, there is a prospect that
she may overhaul her in the race across
tho Pacific and reach Manila first.
This will depend, however, on how
soon the City of Peking can bo made
ready for a start. Saturday is the
earliest date mentioned.
The Charleston is commanded by
Captain Henry (tlnss. Asido from
carrying ammunition and supplies t.
Admiral Dewey, tho Charleston will
piovo a valuable addition to his squad
ron. She will come next to the Balti
more in point of size and effectiveness.
In determining upon this speedy de
parture of the Charleston, the
authorities here have had in mind not
only the need of giving ear ly relief to
Admiral Dewey, but also have been
somewhat apprehensive of the attitude
of the Philippine insurgents. The
news reaching here from the Philip
pines, indicating that tho Insurgent
force might resort to massacres, is re
ceived with sorious attention by the
oflleials, as the present position in con
trolling Manila bay imposes n certain
legtee of responsibility in seeing (lint
civilized methods prevail, ami that tbt
insurrectionists do not resort to law less
mid incendiary measures,
Thr Pfclllpplne Question.
Now York, May 13. A special to
tho World from Washington says:
Thoro is considerable difference of
opinion in congress on tho question of
holding the Philippines, Every one
concedes that they are valuable, but il
is thought by somo that they would be
a source of weaknoss. Tho opponents
of Hawaiian annexation aro almost to
a man In favor of disposing of the
islands, while on tho other hand the
friends ol annexation believe the
United States should hold the islands
permanently. One thing seems cer
tain. If it Is concluded that the islands
gre to be knocked down to tho high
est bidder, a coaling station will DC
bold by the United States.

analysis. This will bo displayed In tho
horticultural building at Omaha and
all queries relating to soil and crops
will he answered in a most complete
and satisfactory manner. Whatever
shall bo accomplished for Oregon at tho
Truns-Mississlppl fair tviH be practical,
as the commissioners lave hud that
end iu view in all they havo under
taken to da
H. D. Inman, of Portland, who Is
largely interested In working for the
success of the Oiegon display, says that
bo is satisfied that tho Omaha exposi
tion is to bo a great success and that
Oregon will reap beneficial results in
greater proportion from tho fact that
tho expo -itloii city lies In tho puth ol
thousands bound westward after gold
or a home this season. It is nearer
home and tho attendance ut tho fair
will bo drawn from all the truns-Mis-slssippl
states and the East. If tho
Pool lie coast status wunt more people
to settle In their borders, additional
capital and fresh industries, Mr. Inman
most heaitily believes this is the time
to lot tho world bear fiom us. Too
much cannot be done for immigration,
for upon futuro immigration depends
Oregon's advuiicemuut.
The Qeaesal
The sucoos of tho Oregon display at
tho Columbian Fair at Chicago will Ik)
repeated on a far more comprehensive
scale at the Trans-Mississippi Exposi
tion, which opens in June. Tho stato
commissioners appointed by Governor
Lord, having In churgu tho work ol
preparation havo gone actively to work
and not a day has been lost. Funds
aro pledged, there is over 11,000 foot ot
space contracted (or on tho ground
floor of tho dcpaitmeiit buildings ut the
exitoeition, and uveiything is progress
ing toward a successful end.
From tho time the subieet wus first
broached the promised Oregon exhibit
at the fair has met with sipular favor.
Tho advantugca to bo derived from tho
advertising which ovury section of the
stuto will receive there this year, seem
to be oloarly realised. Tho advan
tages, it Is believed, will bo greater in
proportion than came from the Colum
bian fair, although in that world's con
gress of wonderful sights Oregon did
appeal as quite a factor. Tho salmon
fisheries of tho Columblu, tho wool
growing industries, tho mines und
stock of Eastern and (Southern Oregon,
tho fruits from II I rivoi and tho
fertilo Willamette valley, and tho
varied other icsourcos of this statu will
bo represented.
An exhibit at tho Trans-Mississippi
exposition which will he noted with
the deepest iutorest by the entire medi
cal fraternity will bo tho baby incuba
tor, and tho progress of tho jioor, puny,
little lives that will inhabit it will ho
watched by thousands of oyes. Tho
invention Is designed to assist naturu
in preserving the lives of nowly born
babes who aro too frail to battle for ex
istence, and tho records show that
since 1801, when it was first Intro
dm i d, It lias saved sovorul thousand
human oreatnres by forcing pure OHM
Into their lungs, providing an oven
temperature for their sensitive llttlo
bodice, and protecting them against
the thousand and onu dangers to which
these, tiny nowcomers in this woild aro
ei posed.
Australian Coal for Japan.
The price of coal iu Japan has risen
very greatly of luto, far beyond any
expectation. Australia has beuu ship
ping coal to Japan und owing to tho
high price ol tho commodity has found
the venture a paying one, notwith
standing tho proximity of tho Chinese
coal fields. A slight fall In prices,
however, will stop tbo Australian itu
Iorts. arrow of Giraffes' Hones.
The flesh of young giraffes, especially
that of a young cow, Is extremely goon, i
somewhat like vcul, with a gime-liko!
flavor. Tho tonguo, trom is w u
Inohos long, Is also very good. But
the marrow bonos afford tho greatest
luxury to the South African hunter.
A giraffe marrow bone, about throe
feet in length, roasted over tho camp
fire and sawn io half, furnishes, with
the accompunlment of toast or bread,
an cpicureau feast for a couplo of men.
Lottery of Marble Carving.
Blocks of marblo for statuary pur
poses are something in the nature of a
lottery. Onslow Ford, who is at work
on the statue of Huxley for tho natural
history museum at South Kensington,
London, has been most unfortunate In
this respect Twice be has hud his
work well undei way, when he has
truck blue veins, which ruined tho
statue. He Is n"w at work on the

Waterways in itnssia.
The ltus-ian government will shortly
open a water route into tho interior of
Rltalan Turkestan and thus furnish
tho country with communication, and
to some extent with water also. For
this purpose advantage will Is- taken
of a line of depressions ol valleys ex
tending from a noint on the lower
course of Atnur-1 ui iu river eastwunl
to the Caspian sen. A riiual to the
Caspian can he built on a comparatively
easy lino The Uiissiau experience in
Turkestan has shown that the ancient
fertility of the country can U restored
by Irrigation, ami Large shipments of
cotton aro now made to Moscow. The
promising mineial deposits have also
been located and transportation iii ad
d it ion to tho present trans-Caspian
railroad is much needed.
