A Bold Nifjht Exploit. j
On Sept. 14 100 sailors from tho
United States navy, led by John II. I
Itussell, bearded the Confederate prl,
vateer Judah, which lay nt the old
United States navy yard on the cast
of Fort Pickens. This daring action
wns described by a Confederate wit
ness ns follows:
"About S o'clock In tho morning flvo
launches containing about thirty men
each pulled across from Santa Itosa
Island ta tho navy yard, a distance of
about two miles. Kach launch had In
It n small howitzer on n pivot. Their
main object seems to have been to
burn tho largest schooner of our har
bor police, which wns anchored near
the wharf. They weie led by nn of
ficer with tho courage of forty Nunld
Inn lions, nnd their success was per
fect. Under cover of the darkness,
silently, with mulllcd oars, they np
proached tho whurf nnd were uot dis
covered until very near It. They then
pulled rapidly to tho schooner and
grappled to her, when their leader
shouted 'Hoard her!" Leading the way

through the darkness In thu direction

The action of the 22tl of November
was brought on by Colonel Ilnrvcy

that the Confederates were continual
ly strengthening their battel les on tlm

vigorous attempt (o silence Fort Me

Thero were two of them, lsith of the,

morning of Nov. 22 upon Fort Mcltee

erected close alongside of It. The Con
federate guns In Fort Mclteo nud Fort

teries distributed on n semicircle ex
tending over four miles responded vig

of a cannonade. When the signal gun

Many houses were struck. Among tho
buildings fired were two Catholic
churches, wblc-h were consumed, with
fifty other buildings. Colonel Ilrowu,
the Federal cominnndcr, stated In his
report that the ihurches and the vil

that It wns Impossible to spare them.
At thu same time ho declared that hot

Veterinarian Norgaard Tells of
Conditions In Coast
State.
Territorial Veterinarian Norgaard, In
n comprehensive report to the llonrd
of Agriculture nnd Forestry yesterday,
had the following tu say regarding
danger of rubles here:
"In order to obtain, reliable data In
regard to the prevalence of rabies In
t'ullfonilii, a communication wns sent
to the Federal Inspector In charge at
Man Francisco, with n ropiest for all
Information at his disposal pertaining
to this subject. Ills reply lias corno
to hand and Is herewith submitted for
perusal by tho members of the board.
From this correspondence It will lie
seen that the measures taken b the
board for the purpose of protecting
the Territory against the Introduction
of rnbles nre more than JuMllled by
the facts contained In this mllclal com.
iminlcutloii Not less than nine human
lives hnve been racrlllced during the
present outbreak of rubles In Califor
nia, and It Is estimated by the direc
tor of the State hygienic laboratory
Lat Herkeley, Cal., that not less than
3200 cases of rabies among dogs uml
other animals have occurred within
the State during the past two years.
"To this hu udds that the disease Is
rapidly spreading, and In my opinion
there can be no doubt that unless the
present regulations are efiictlvely en
forced It would be a very simple mat
ter for the dtiease to iruln entrance
here In fact, I ImVe bicn Informed
that a dog that passed through here
on one of tlm steamers for the Orient
developed rnbles before the steamer
reached Yokohama nnd bit his owner
If this dog had been destined for this
port we would have had the dlseaso
here, uml It can only be hoped that
the snmc would hnvo been recognized
111 time to prevent the Infection of thu
keeptr, or the spread of th disease to
other animals. ,
"From a communication signed by
the State veterinarian It Is learned
that not less than eight laboratories
for the administration of the Pasteur
treatment of persons who have been
bitten by rabid dogs, have been estab
lished In various cities of California,
among which may bo mentioned Her
keley, Los Angeles, Fresno, San Fran
cisco nnd Sacramento. In case, there,
fore, the disease (Should gain entrance
here, bitten persons, would be removed
only from six,' J jtwelvt days from
treatment, dependent upon tlip depar.
turo of steamers.,
"Hut ns ono; df the human cases
of hydrophobia nj'iitloned1ln the' cor
respondence devebiped the dlseaso lu
llfteen days nfter having been bitten
and heforo the Pasteur treatment was
little more than half Mulshed, It will
lie itcen Hint we re uot any too well
protected In case the disease should
get In here. nndvU Is HiiKKeated that
the attention of -'the local Hoard of
Health be called to the advisability of
being prepared to" administer tho Pas
teur treatment In Case It should be
come necessury.
"An application has been received
from .Mr. I .only, tlm owner of the per
forming dogs now' iUaritntlucd at the
llljou Theater, for permission to per
form nt Wnlluku; Maul, nnd at llllo.
Hawaii. In ense the board considers
It ndvlsnbln to grant this reipiest, I
would suggest that It be stipulated
that the same two policemen who are
now 111 charge of the dogs here must
accompany the troupe and remain In
charge of the animals nt all times, the
same us Is now the case. The man
ager liitH suggested that In order to
save traveling expenses uml hotel bills.
It might be possible to obtain local
police ottlcers at the places visited for
the purposi., but I am very much In
doubt whether the snmo would be as
effective u a continuation of the men
III charge, who have become familiar
with the requirements of the position.
I nm forth! r of the opinion that tho
grunting of such u permit would give
rise to a great deal of criticism and
It will establish a precedent which tnuy
cause Inconvenience nt future times
when similar requests may be made."
