WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-The gun-
boat Urdaneta, which was captured
'ta ner irew, about 25 miles from
Manila, is a little craft of only 40 tons
displacement, not much larger than a
small tug. She was captured by the
navy early In the var, and has been on
police duty tn the bay for several
months past The records of the navy
1 department show that she was one of

parent 8hlp that ,s he wu gUpposed
to draw all her supplies from the bat
tleship, to be manned from the Ore-
1 gon's crew, and to act under lnstruc-
tlons of the Oregon's commander,
According to last reports to the de-
partment, the little boat was last May
under command of Naval Cadet Wei-
born C. Wood, but the personnel of the

Oregon, had passed his academic
i course and was performing sea service
J at the time of the capture.

vexed that difficulties of the negotatlons

should be added to by this last mis
fortune. Stilt there Is no disposition
unnecessarily to curb Junior officers
of the navy who are rendering such
gallant service In the Philippines.

."The refusal if the South Africa gov
ernment to entertain the offer thus
made, coming as It does alter four
