The Indians made a rush for their guns, and Aen commenced.

I know Adimi- Tal Luce too well It is absurd for anybody to be- lieve that Luce ever made use of such an expres- sion in the manner as published in the pape! Admiral Luce ts too much of a gentleman and officer to forget himself in such a manner.” “Is there any truth in the rey Uthat Admiral ‘Luce will be detached here?” ‘Ubis question the Secretary paid no attention, but said that the ad- miral Was One of the smartest and most able naval officers of the old school in the country. “I have ‘been asked in Washington and New York numer- ous Umes to confirm: deny the report that Ad- miral Luce had handed in his application for de- tachment, but I have always denied it, and there- fore cannot say anything now.” “Are you going to call on board the Sagsbip and other warships now in this harbor?” “I think I shail.” Secretary Whitney expressed himself as very sorry that he did not arrive a day ‘sooner, as he was very anxious to witness the naval parade which took place on shore yesterday. “You must know,” continued the Secretary, “that with the modern ‘ships, especially the ram’ class, That Capt: Hom has Just struck the Fight play as that Capt.

He spoke in the highest terms of the present chief of the bureau, Chiet Engineer Melville, of Arctic fame, and said Uhat the new chief was ‘one of the brightest and Smartest men in office at the Department.
