ADMIRAL MEADE'S CRUISE.

It JIus Developed the I'act That Some Stejis Arc N'ceessury to Protect Our Itavy—SciriN'tary ilcibert Giving the Subject ."•I'l-ioiis Considcratiozi—Mtcs JSoiiig

Liiiolvi'il lor. VrASIIIN'JTON, April —The recent experience of Admiral Meade in liis cruise with a squadron through the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Carribean sea, has served to again attract liie atteiirioii of the oliic-ials of the navy department to the necessity of acquiring of at lea- one or two coaling scations in those waters for the use of I the navy. Although the cruise lasted only a l'c\y weeks, rlie difficulty of procuring a suliieifiir supply of coal at diU'eivnr points aud at reasonable I prices, has strikingly indicated the trouble that may be expeered when it I shall be necessary to maintain for long periods of tune, or perhaps permanently a number of cruising gunboats in those waters, such a contingency is being prepared for by tlie construction of a number of boats calculated for just ...such service.

Tlie sources of coal in that section are at present largely in jJri: isli possesions. I The price is always high in soma ports, but if- is very much higher in others, being known to reach £lf per ton at Colony at tiiiK-s. Now that tlie navy has rid itself almost entirely of sail power and the ships rely altogether

011

There is also reason to believe that while no objection has yet- been made to this experiment, the nations owning the ports where tlie coal is transferred to oar cruisers will not permit the pvao- I t:ee 0 continue without tlie collection ol heavy duties

011

tlie coal and up to

this time no thoroughly satisfactory method has been found by which the coal can be trans-shipped 011 the open 1 sea. But aside Jr.an these purely economical reasons for tho establish- I ment of coaling stations a much stronger one is toand in the fact that time of war under the neutrality laws, I our ships would be excluded ironi the privilege of coaling in foreign ports I and would 111 us be absolutely prevented from hostile operations if they did not 1 lull easy victims to an enemy better equipped Willi bases of coal supply, it is sum by naval officers thattne cominon beiief that these coaling stations would be very expensive to acquire aud I. would require to he strongly fortihed to le 1 elid the.m, also at groat eApou^o, ia Without real foundation. 1-1 borne, of the others who have been giving much attention on tho subject 1 are confident that the United States could readily arrange for the acquisition of coaling stations from almost, any of tiie countries facing tlie (julf of Mexico or the Carri'oean sea at a nominal price. Nothing 111 the way of equipment is required save a landing wharf, and tiie services of one man to watch the place would suillce. I11 case of war, if the station was near enough to tho scene 01 :tction to be necessary, it could be protected by the very ships that would be require to use tlie coai. If it was distant from tlie scene and not necessary to the service at that time it could lie left to take its chances, for the enemy would scarcely find it prolitable to sond ships to capture a coal pile whieli could be readily replenished at any convenient time. It is believed that Secretary Herbert is giving this subject attention aud when congress meets again he may recommend to that body that this government be clothed with the necessary power to acquire suitable sites for coaling stations.

ACCIDENT ON A STEAMER.

l£nsigu Goorg« 1. Allison May loiii) Ilia lift) as a Jiesult.

San

Fhancisco,

April 29.—There was

an accident ou board tlie crusier Olyinpia that may cost Ensign George M. Allison his life, as it has already cost him his right leg. The cruiser wus coming to anchor, when the chain became unshackled and run out swiftly, the chain kinked and the bight of it struck him 011 the light leg, shattering and mangling it so it hung by only a few shreds of muscle and flesh. The surgeon 011 board amputated the limb above tlie knee. It is not known Whether the wound is fatal.

Ensign Allison is from North Carolina, was appointed to JJthe naval academy in 1888, and is 28th in rank. Lieutenant Commander E. W. Sturdy, executive officer of the ship, was interviewed yesterday regarding tlie stories afloat about the deserts from the vessels as to ill-treatment. He emphatically denied tho statement. He said the trouble arose because the crew insisted 011 shore food instead of tlie regulations allowed. He stated that there were but 15 desertions from the vessel in South California ports.

steam tho

amount- of money expended in coal is assuming formidable proportions, and the naval oliicials are using ail of their ingenuity to keep down this expense without injury to the service. Perhaps I for this reason a number of ulHcers who had not regarded favorably the proposition to establish coaling stations outside of the United States are now becoming convinced that such a plan would be decidedly in the interest of economy. In the case of Admiral Meade's cruise, to prevent the hiving of extortionate charges for coal, tho navy adopted tlie plan of contracting with an American lirm to deliver coal alongside the ves-.S seis of the squadron at some of the ports. This plan worked well within certain limits, aud a considerable economy was effected. It requires the arrangement of the government of the vessels of the squadron with great exactness a long time in advance, aud this would be quite impossible in times of trouble just when the ships are required lo be well supplied with cual so as to be able to make sudden movements.

Jsear liamon de Las .[aquas a day or two later there was another engagement- in which it is said ihe Spanish were roughly handled. Major Tejoriso, who commanded the Spanish troops, and several other officers were wounded and Captain Miranda killed.

There are 10 bauds of insurgents in tho province of Puerto Principe. Several expeditions friendly to the insurgents have landed on the island.

The Spanish government is making more rigid the censorship of tlie- press and the telegraph. The Spanish paper La .Diseusion was lined a few days ago s?l,o.)o for publishing tlie news of tlie landing of Gomez and Marti.

Marcos Garcia, leader in the last

revolution, now mayor of Santo Spariru. has tendered his resignation to join the insurgents.

It is said Flor Crombct, the Cuban general, was not killed in battle as reported, but was assassinated by Spanish troops. I

Spanish Lieutenant Gallego was shot tit Santiago by order of Gene ral Campos I a few days ago for allowing himself tu .be surprised by insurgents.

General Maceo, the Cuban leader, is said to be at the head of a large force oi insurgents near Santiago. It is thought iii Havana that a decisive battle will b* fought ot 11

Ct Is IJrlieveil That the Death L,ist Will He Gn-utly in Iixcoss of the Ili-portcd Knmb.'i'—Thousands of Tons of Water

Sweeps l^vei'yt in Its Sway—l-'ull Kxteni of the Disaster.

El'lXAii, France, April 29.-

The list

of the fatalities caused by the breaking Saturday morning of the great B.nixey dyke in the Epinai district of the Vosges increases every hour. One hundred and lifi'cen deaths have already been reported, but only 50 bodies have been recovered. It is believed that the death list will be greatly in excess of the figures above given when all the districts are heard from. It is supposed that many of the dead, were swept into isolated places whore it will be a longtime before tho bodies arc found.

The whole region over which the thousands o? tons of water swept a resistless torrent is strewn with every sort of wreel"age, and the whole country presents a most desolate appearance. In many places tho early crops were swept clean out of tho ground and the losses thus incurred will be very heavy.

Six brigades of gendarmes have arrived, and they have been detailed to act as guards. Every attempt is being made to reorganize the district, but this is rendered difficult by the Willi '1'.

Thf: Aviove, a .-•mall'narrow stream, i.s now in some places a mile and a. half wide. The railway in the vicinity of the Darnieulles station is torn up. The rails and ties were swept away and the embankments destroyed. Nearly every bridge ou rhe line of the flood was cither destroyed or so badly damaged they will have to bo rebuilt-.

The construction of the dylco, or dam, was commenced in IN?!) and finished in 1884. In 188!) it was greatly strengthened. It was of heavy masonry 550 yards long, oti feet high aud 00 feet thick at the base. The masonry was carried into the ground to a depth of u(J feet below the level of the valley, into which the reservoir discharged its water. It was built against a vertical face of solid rock, having a maximum height of eight feet. The base rested ou a sandstone of natural formation.

The massive construction of the dam was considered to be a guarantee that it would hold back any weight of water that could be brought against it. Until the strengthening of the work in 1889 it was not subjected to the full pressure of the water which it was built to hold.

The distress among the homestead dwellers of tiie valley is very great ami many cases there appear to be mentally benumbed by the calamity that has befallen. them.

The government is fully awake to the disaster and is doing everything possible to relievo iheir san'ering. M. Dnpuv, minister of public, works, M. Leigues, minister of the interior, are. now 011 their way hero to assume charge of the relief work. Throe thousand francs have already been received for relief purposes and the ministers wiil bring 5,K)0 more from the funds of t-neir departments. and J,(!!)() francs contributed by President Faure. .Mine. Heine has sent 20,000 francs which will be applied to relieving the suii'erers.

The prefect- of the department has visited, all the districts affected by the disaster. He has organized the employes on the public roads, and aided by the military, will, as soon as possible. restore communication. These employes and the soldiers will also search for the dead and immediately bury all tlie dead animals they may find. All the municipal authorities are working ceaselessly in distributing relief ami seeking to bring order out of the chaos prevailing. Over 50,000 persons from the. nearby towns and the surrounding country visited the scene of the disaster yesterday.

At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the burial of 15 of the victims rook place at Doiuevere, one of the villages that .suffered the worst from the inundation. Two thousand persons attended the services, which were held while the graves were being dug. There were many heartrending scenes while the bodies were being consigned to the earth.
