Washington, Aug. 22.— W ith the
beet portion o f the American navy in
Australian waters on its cruise around
the world, and with demands for gun
boats in Cuban waters, at Sap Domin
go, Venezuela, Central America and
various other places where American
interests may need protection, the
N avy department has been put to it to
secpre enough ships to fill urgent
needs. Some vessels which have been
long out o f commission and others
which had been relegated to innocuous
desuetude because o f their antique
build and ewuipment have been ordered
into commission, and it is probable that
the next congress w ill be asked to pro
vide for some additional gunboats
which can on occasion be utilized for
police duty.
The gunboat Ranger, an old iron and
wood barkentine, w ill be placed in
commission at Cavite. The Frolic, a
mere steam yacht used during the
Spanish war, w ill also be placed in
commission and accompany the Ranger
to New York. The W heeling w ill be
placed in commission at the Puget
sound navy yard.
Washington, Aug. 20.— Dispatches
received today by the Department o f
Justice and the Revenue cutter officials
o f the Treasury department state that
two Japanese poaching vessels with
total crews o f 59 meh have been cap
tured by the revenue cutter Bear, near
St. Paul’s island, the chief island o f
the seal group in Behring sea. The
dispatch received at the Department o f
Justice came from Assistant United
States Attorney Raht at Valdez, who
informed the department that the
steamer Dora had just put in there.
The captain brought word o f the cap-
tue, with the statement that the Hin-
zer Mara, the larger o f the two ves
sels, was painted white in imitation of
the revenue cutter Manning, which is
at San Francisco, and that in further
imitation o f the United States vessel
the Hinzer Mara carried forward yards
o f papier mache. The boat had a crew
o f 32 men and the Zeiki a crew o f 27.
The captain o f the cutter Bear in his
dispatch to the revenue cutter service,
says that the captured men w ill be
taken to Unga, Alaska, and turned
over to a United States commissioner.
He says he has sufficient evidence to

Admiral Leaves the Service A fter 48
Years on Duty.
Lake Mohonk, N . Y ., Aug. 19.— Far
from grim warships and the sea where
he spent nearly half a century in the
service o f his country, Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans, U. S. N ., who is at
this quiet mountain hotel, yesterday
reached the age lim it o f 62 years and
passed from the ranks o f the country’ s
active sea fighters. His has been the
longest service (but two years short o f
half a century) o f any man who has
reached the rank o f rear admiral in the
United States navy. A ll through the
day the hotel was thronged with ad
mirers o f "F ig h tin g B ob ," anxious to
congratulate him on his 62nd birthday
and to wish him many more happy and
useful years. Telegrams by the score
reached him from all parts o f the coun
try, all expressing felicitations and
affection for the man who had done so
much to build up the American navy.
Many o f the messages brought delight
ed smiles to the admiral’s face, while
others brought just a suspicion o f mois
ture to his eyes. The telegram in par
ticular which caused "F ig h tin g Btob"
many smiles came from an old friend
in Washington and said r
" F o r some o f us, skipper, your flag
w ill always fly ."

Early Morning Trem bler Likened to
Big One o f 1906.
Eureka, Cal., Aug. 19.— An earth
quake shock ablmost as severe as the
one o f A pril 18, 1906, but not o f so
long duration, shook this city a 2 :58
o'clock yesterday monrmg. I t seemed
to come from the west, and was what
is known as a " t w is t e r ." No one was
injured, but considerable damage was
done.
A second and lighter shock was felt
at 5 :80 o’clock.
Chimneys were thrown down and
people rushed from their houses in
fright when the first quake shook the
city.
The courthouse was damaged
most by the shake.
The right arm of
the statue o f Minerva, carrying a spear,
was twisted off the statue on the dome.
The spear crashed through the roof of
the building and into Judge Hunter’s
courtroom.
The statues on the north side o f the
building were shaken off and brick and
plaster were loosened and fell to the
ground. Plate glass windows in sev
eral business houses were cracked.
Unwritten Law in Colorado.
Denver, Col., Aug. 19.— The "un
written law’ ’ was upheld today in Col
orado by the act o f Governor Buchtel
in granting a pardon to George P. N ic
olai, convicted o f killing John Moore.
N icolai’s w ife was involved in the case.
In granting the pardon Governor Buch
tel said: "T h e laws o f this state do
not count this villainy as a serious
crime. Colorado is about 100 years
behind all civilized states in the esti
mates which .its laws place upon certain
crimes. The peculiar intricacies of
legal processes do not appeal to m e."
M o rs Warships to Venezuela.
The Hague, Aug. 19.— A s a part of

bombardment o f the ports, the Dutch

dered today to prepare for speedy dis
patch to Curarao on August 29. They
are expected to arrive at Curacao Octo

Holland Has Free Hand.
TheHague, Aug. 19.— W ith the sin
gle proviso that no m ilitary occupation
o f territory must occur, the government
at Washington is understood to have
given the cabinet o f The Netherlands
a free hand to deal as it sees fit with
President Castro, o f Venezuela.
The
Netherlands’ cruiser Friesland w ill not
sail for the Caribbean before the and
o f next month.
