Spanish Flotilla not at Porto Rico---Queen of Spain Fears An Uprising and Prepares to Take Flight. SQUADRON AND FLOTILLA. Spanish Torpedo Boat Flotilla not Yet at Porto Rico. WASHINGTON, April 1.—In direct contradiction of her promises to peacefully settle the question existing between herself and the United States Spain has taken an action having as its object the reinforcement of her fleet in Cuban waters and the protection of her torpedo-boat flotilla. Minister Woodford has informed the State Department that the Spanish armored cruisers Cristobal Colon and Infanta Maria Teresa and the torpedo-boat destroyer Destructor had left Carthagena for an unknown destination but when last seen they were steaming to the westward. Minister Woodford's information was obtained from the consular agent of the United States at Carthagena, who, in company with other consular officers of this Government in Spain had been instructed to report to the Minister all movements of Spanish men-of-war. As an offset to the Spanish movement the strategic authorities of the Navy Department are seriously contemplating the issuance of orders to Commodoore W. S. Schley, commanding the flying squadron, directing him to move with his command down the coast to AT THE CAPITAL. No Such Excitement Since the Days of the Civil War. WASHINTON, April 1.—Such intense excitement as is noticeable among the people of Washington to-day, has not been witnessed since the civil war. The news that Spain has practically rejected the demands made by the President has awakened conjecture as to what will be the next step of the administration. Opinion generally seems to be that President McKinley will either advise Congress to recognize the belligerency of the Cubans or the absolute independence of the island. The next move must come from Spain. If there is a declaration of war, it now appears that the diplomacy of President McKinley has forced the responsibility for such action upon Spain. The reply of Spain is said, in effect, to be: The independence of Cuba means the parting with or cession of Spanish territory, which cannot be done without the consent of the Spanish Cortes, which is not in session, and will not be in session until April 25, and consequently no definite answer can be returned to the demand of the United States until the Cortes assembles. Then a counter-proposition is submitted that the Cuban matter shall be settled upon a basis equitable among nations. The United States is asked to give Spain time to treat with the insurgents and ascertain what can be done in the nature of a peaceful settlement. PREPARING FOR WAR Work Being Rushed With all Possible Speed by the Navy Department. WASHINGTON, March 31.—The wav incident to the transformation of yachts and tugs recently purchased by the navy department so as to make them practicable for naval purposes now well under way. The alteration and changes necessary are being rued with all possible speed, and order have been issued to employ a sufficient number of men to work day and night so that no time will be lost. In tugs particularly there are numerous changes necessary for the comfort of the men who will man them. Yachts, on the other hand, are in better shape, and less work will be required than on the tugs. They will given a belt of armor as a means of protection for portions which are more vulnerable to the enemy's fire. So the department has purchased yachts and eight tugs for the auxiliary use of the navy. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Embassador, called on Assistant Secretary Roosevelt at the Navy Department this afternoon and left his card Captain Sigsbee, congratulating officer upon his escape and beating throughout his recent thrilling experience in the harbor of Havana. There was nothing especially significant in the movement of naval vessels reported to the Navy Department day. The gunboat Wilmington arrives at Jacksonville yesterday, on her but when last seen they were steaming to the westward. Minister Woodford's information was obtained from the consular agent of the United States at Carthagena, who, in company with other consular officers of this Government in Spain had been instructed to report to the Minister all movements of Spanish men-of-war. As an offset to the Spanish movement the strategic authorities of the Navy Department are seriously contemplating the issuance of orders to Commodore W. S. Schley, commanding the flying squadron, directing him to move with his command down the coast to Savannah or some other point which will place him several hundred miles nearer Porto Rico. There is considerable speculation in official naval circles as to the first point at which the Cristobal Colon, the Infanta Maria Teresa and the Destructor will touch. It was suggested that they might proceed to the Canaries and from that point sail for the United States. What is, however, considered more probable by naval experts is that the Spanish Government, anticipating war, has sent these vessels at their highest rate of speed to join the torpedo-boat flotilla, which, it is believed, is 1200 miles from the Canaries, and therefore has 1400 miles to cover before reaching Porto Rico. To comply with the plan of the campaign prepared by the department it is first necessary to dispose of the flotilla, and when this has been accomplished to have the flying squadron give battle to the Cristobal Colon, the Infanta Maria Teresa and the Destructor and the defeat of these forces will be much easier and safer, providing they can be met separately. Combined they would make a force which the flying squadron could hardly meet with safety. This flotilla consists of seven seagolting torpedo boats, and if reinforced they would have a destroyer of 386 tons and two of the finest armored cruisers in the world to aid them against an attacking force. Comparing the Brooklyn and Texas with the Cristobal Colon and the Infanta Maria Teresa, the authorities say that the American ships would have a most difficult task to come off victories, but in view of the superiority of the American sailor over those of Spain, it is believed that an engagement between the four ships would result in the success for the ships flying the stars and stripes. With the Cristobal Colon and Infanta Maria Teresa re-inforced by the Destructor and seven torpedo boats, the latter composing the flotilla, it is appreciated that Commodore Schley's squadron would have to be increased in order to gain a victory with out any great difficulty. It is the question of these contingencies that has caused the authorities to discuss the advisability of having the flying squadron leave Hampton Roads and drop down the coast to a point nearer Porto Rico than their present anchorage. If the torpedo-boat flotilla is to be destroyed before the armored cruisers and the Destructor can re-enforce them this work will have to be done by the armored cruiser Brooklyn and the protected cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis, leaving the battleship Massachusetts and the second-class battle ship Texas join these vessels later. The Brooklyn, Minneapolis and Columbia could reach Porto Rico from Hampton Roads in about seventy-five hours and could proceed on their way to meet the flotilla in case it had not reached Porto Rico up to the time of their arrival. The Massachusetts and Texas would not be able to reach Porto Rico under five days. McKinley has forced the responsibility for such action upon Spain. The reply of Spain is said, in effect, to be: The independence of Cuba means the parting with or session of Spanish territory, which cannot be done without the consent of the Spanish Cortes, which is not in session, and will not be in session until April 25, and consequently no definite answer can be returned to the demand of the United States until the Cortes assembles. Then a counter-proposition is submitted that the Cuban matter shall be settled upon a basis equitable among nations. The United States is asked to give Spain time to treat with the insurgents and ascertain what can be done in the nature of a peaceful settlement. Senators who know the nature of the reply say it is a very shrewd piece of diplomacy and made for effect upon the world at large. It is said the reply is unsatisfactory to the president, and that he does not believe it will be satisfactory to congress. The administration officials feel that after Monday congress is likely to take matters into its own hands, and the fear is expressed that there will be a disagreement between the branches of the government, which would be unfortunate at this critical period. No one at the capital has undertaken to speak for the President, although those who have seen him say that his hopes of a peaceful solution of the difficulty have been disappointed by the reply of Spain. It can be reiterated authoritatively that the latest dispatch from Madrid was thoroughly unsatisfactory to the administration. Its dissatisfaction was openly announced during several of the conferences that took place during the morning hours. The note was received late last night, and after it had been read by the President and Judge Day, as effort was made to communicate with several other members of the cabinet. In view of the grave significance of the dispatch it was considered very deliberately and the reply of this government deferred until the President could consult with the members of his official family of advisors. The reply to the Spanish response, accordingly, will not be cabled until after the cabinet meeting. OREGON'S LONG RACE. Eight Thousand Miles At Full Speed From Callao. WASHINGTON, April 3.—When the battleship Oregon arrives at Callao tomorrow, which she officials expect she will do, she will find orders which will cause a new test of the magnificent fighting machine. The capacity of the Olympia for speed was shown in her famous race against time across the Pacific when the coast-built cruiser set a new mark for speed on a long course for the fighting ships of the world. The big battleship has moved down the coast at a fair rate, but from the moment her coal supply has been stored at Callao and her course shaped to the southeast, the fuel will be fed to the furnaces at the highest rate, and the great ship will be off to Key West. The coal supply will be replenished at Valparaiso, where the Marietta will be awaiting the arrival of the fighter. They are of about the same speed, and are expected to drive along on their 8000-mile course at about sixteen knots, or even more. The two will then travel in company until Capt. Sampson's fleet is joined, and thereby hangs the tale of the Spanish torpedo-destroyers' movements. When the departure of the fast boat Miramonte from Montevideo was noted last week and the announcement followed next day by the statement that the craft had gone only a few miles to given a belt of armor as a means of protection for portions which are vulnerable to enemy's fire. So farthe department has purchased yachts and eight tags for the auxiliary use of the navy. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Embassador, called on Assistant Secretary Roosevelt at the Navy Department this afternoon and left his cardboard Sigabee, congratulating officer upon his escape and bearing throughout his recent thrilling experience in harbor of Havana. There was nothing especially significant in in movement of naval vessels reported at Navy Department; day. The gunboat Wilmington arrives at Jacksonville yesterday, on her return New York for repairs. The torpedo-boat Somers, purchased in Germany, arrived at Pillau yesterday on her way to the United States. The gunboat Wheeling has left Angeles for Seattle. The cruiser lumbia and the revenue cutter Moorhead arrived at Norfolk today. The lumbia is attached to the flying squaron, and is in complete readiness any service she may be called upon perform. Her sister ship, The Minolis, now fitting out at League Island is expected to join the squaron in or two. The gunboat Marletta of the Panquadron arrived at Callao today; though not so admitted, it is generally understood that she is bound for West. The same is true of the bay船 Oregon, which is expected to arrive at Callao this week. These vessels have been informed ofthe present Spanish torpedo boat Temerario; east coast of South America have been warned to be on their ground against her while in those waters.

To Richard Melrose. dec-23tf If the torpedo-boat flotilla is to be destroyed before the armored cruisers and the Destructor can re-enforce them this work will have to be done by the armored cruiser Brooklyn and the protected cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis, leaving the battle-ship Massachusetts and the second-class battle ship Texas join these vessels later. The Brooklyn, Minneapolis and Columbia could reach Porto Rico from Hampton Roads in about seventy-five hours and could proceed on their way to meet the flotilla in case it had not reached Porto Rico up to the time of their arrival. The Massachusetts and Texas would not be able to reach Porto Rico under five days. On the other hand, the Spanish armored cruisers and destroyers. It is estimated by the officials, can overtake the torpedo-boat flotilla within six days and possibly in less time. In view of the belief of the authorities that the Spanish naval officials, anticipating trouble, directed the torpedo boats to proceed with such delliberation that they could be easily overtaken by reinforcements, it is appreciated that it would mean annihilation to the Brooklyn, Columbia and Minneapolis to attack the combined force without support from the Texas and Massachusetts. The move of Spain in this matter is, therefore, appreciated to have been the result of careful thought and every day of delay in bringing matters to an extreme issue will result in important advantage to the Spanish navy. "The trouble is," said an official to me today, "we have delayed too long. We ought to have begun the war by March 1, at least, if we were to have it." WASHINGTON, April 1.—By delay and confidence in Spanish honesty, the President has lost an opportunity to rescue the United States from serious danger. It is now too late, the Spanish ships at Havana having effected a junction with the torpedo flotilla. During the Cabinet session at noon members of the Naval Strategic Board were sent for and questioned with regard to the Spanish fleets. As a result it has decided to issue orders to-morrow to Commodore Sampson to proceed to Havana with the fleet and blockade the mouth of the bay, preventing the egress of the Spanish warships Oquendo and Vizcaya, and to Commodore Schley to proceed to Porto Rico for the purpose of intercepting the torpedo flotilla bound for that place. But the decision was reached too-late, as not only did the flotilla arrive at Porto Rico to-night, but the Vizcaya and Oquendo have slipped out of Havana harbor and are speeding to meet them. Together they make a force too formidable to hope to conquer without serious damage to our fleet. If the President further delays, the Cristobal Colon and Astrulas will reach Cuba, and Spain will be quite ready to fight. Lieutenant-Commander Marxix, Judge Advocate of the Court of Inquiry into the cause of the Maine disaster, has resumed his duty as officer of the receiving ship Vermont. The commander, released from the oath of office in relation to the blowing up of the battleship, has this to say: "We know that the Maine was blown up by a mine as surely as the physician knows a man was poisoned when he finds him suffering from the effects of such poison." I suggested that the conclusion of the board seemed based on circumstantial evidence. "Surely," exclaimed Mr. Marxix, "you have not read carefully the report of the board, or you would not feel a particle of doubt as to how the Maine was destroyed. The evidence was circumstantial, it is true, in the sense that we did not find any remnant of the mine, or find the man whose hand caused the explosion, but it is conclusive. "The Maine's keel was found blown inward, and nothing on earth except a mine could have produced that result. The effect of the explosion of a mine on a ship is as well known as poison upon the human system. "The wreck of the Maine was the mute, incontestable evidence of the explosion of a mine, and after exhaustion of all available evidence the board has so reported."

The ex-Chancellor has hitherto very little for publication on the Irish-American situation. To-day ever, he seemed not averse to quoted. He said: I have in times past thoroughly phasized my opinion with respect to energetic activity of the U.S. States, which seems now on the point furnishing to the world an apparent moment of, to my mind, the very Monroe doctrine. Nevertheless, I have whole-souled sympathy with United States Congress which does that present circumstances, deny that the Maine incident shall not unpunished. America is a wonderful country; the Yankee nation may be compared a mighty, haughty, overgrown snorting with anxiety to spend limited physical power on some or all expressions of ill-will. On the other hand, I hate that hypocritical suavity in which they fards seem to be so adept. I fear that impudent Castilian haughtiness once much-lauded Spanish naval pride have evolved into mere nine coquetry, and is nothing than an ostentatious display of wilt. Let me tell you that Spain has the ghost of a chance against America and I will be the most surprised in the world if, with their military efficiency, Spain will permit it to plunge into such an strife.

Hillaman, a farmer of Moon Hall township, near Pittsburgh Pa., shot and killed her and then cut his throat with a razor. The girl was 15 years of age and refused him on account of her youth. Hillaman will die. A few minutes before midnight Wednesday night of last week the northern part of the state experienced one of the most severe earthquakes ever felt in California. In San Francisco many buildings swayed violently for ten seconds. A tenement house on Clementina street collapsed, but no one was seriously hurt. The Strathmore apartment house on Larkin street, opposite the city hall, was badly damaged. Many other buildings throughout the city were injured. The guests of all the hotels and lodging houses, many of whom had no idea of the cause of the trembling of the earth, were intensely excited, and rushed from their rooms without waiting to dress. The earthquake shock was felt at many points along the coast. Olive Tragear, the eighteen-year-old Colton lass who was induced to climb from the window of her sleeping apartment and elope with a gambler named Al Castro was discovered by the officers at noon the next day hiding in a room in the third story of a San Bernardino lodging house. The girl was in a pentent mood, and willing to return to her parents who have scoured the hills and canyons for her since her mysterious disappearance. Castro had taken advantage of the girl's position and left her in the room where she was found, without the intelligence of the landlord. A few hours previous to finding her the police ran across Castro and questioned him regarding the whereabouts of the girl. He protested that he knew nothing of her whereabouts, and denied being in her company. Castro was arrested and put under bonds. The father of the girl will prosecute Castro for seduction.

Thomas Brady has begun suit for damages against the Alamitos Sugar Factory, asking for damages in the amount of $50,000. On the first of November last, while working in the factory, his apron was caught in a belt while olling the machinery, and he was drawn upon a swift revolving wheel and very badly injured and mutilated. It was thought at first he would die, but he recovered, and now asks for $50,000 damages. A company of twenty women, wearing white ribbon badges, raided and burned the "Owl" saloon, a famous place on the Kansas and Oklahoma line, a half mile south of Otoe, Kan., one morning last week at 11 o'clock. The proprietor of the place immediately armed himself and enlisted a dozen sympathizers, and the gang rode through the country in the afternoon threatening the life of every person suspected of connection with the raid. Late that night A. C. Fairchild, a Baptist deacon, was shot and killed while on his way home from the postoffice. Several shots were fired during the night in the neighborhood of Otoe. After the murder of Fairchild shots were fired at the saloon men who were riding over the country and two of them were wounded. There is great eximent in the country for miles around. The temperance people have held meetings two or three times a day. Both factions are armed and more trouble is expected. News comes of a terrible accident that occurred shortly after dark one night last week at Trinidad mine in Sailor canyon, eighteen miles due south of Cisco, a small station on the Central Pacific in Nevada. Mr. and Mrs. John Brookenside, their fourteen months-old child and a miner who with Brookenside has been prospecting a claim for Charles Montgomery, the Oakland philanthropist, are the only residents of that country for miles and miles around.

Alice Mitohell, the Memphis school girl who, January 25, 1892, killed her bomber friend, Freda Ward, died Thursday morning in the West Tennessee Insane asylum at Bolivar. Miss Mitchell was the daughter of one of the best known families of Memphis, and a pupil of one of the leading girls' schools there, before she formed the remarkable attachment for Freda Ward of Gold Dust, Tenn., who was a schoolmate. The two were inseperable, and never out of each other's company, when it was possible to be together. One day Miss Ward was to return to her home to spend the Christmas holidays. Alice Mitchell drove to the wharf in her phaeeton and seeing Miss Ward, rushed up to her and cut her throat with a razor, killing her instantly. Miss Mitchell's trial resulted in a verdict of insanity, and she was sent to Bolivar asylum, where she died last week. At Pittsburgh at noon on the 29th ult., John S. Terry, leading man with the Fanny Rice Company, was married to Miss Mabel Lambert of Oakland, Cal. The ceremony marks the finish of quite a romantic love story, in which the hero and heroine are well content with the storybook ending of a happy marriage. The wooing was started in Southern California years ago, and continued until the bride's parents raised an objection to her choice on account of Mr. Terry's profession, and the lovers were separated for over five years, necessitating as the bride aptly put it, "a courtship of correspondence." The family objections, however, were finally overcome. The bride traveled for four days over the continent to reach Pittsburgh and her fiance, but when she stepped off the train at an early hour in the morning she showed not the slightest effect of her lonely ride, and at the chancel rail looked as fresh as one of the flowers of her own State. The wedding was a very quiet one, aside from the contracting parties no one being present but a few intimate friends of the groom. Mrs. Terry intends to make her vocal debut with her husband next season. The price of feed in the San Joaquin valley has reached such high figures that many of the farmers have turned their stock on their growing wheat. which will not mature owing to scarcity of rain, instead of buying barley or hay for feed. Young wheat makes excellent grazing, and as some of it is so yellow and parched that it will soon be useless, the owners decided to make feed of it immediately. The crops on the west side of San Joaquin river are in such a condition that most of the grain will probably be used for feed, and several sections up the valley, which have been visited with light rainfalls, will share the same fate. In the vicinity of Collegeville, grain is suffering, and as fast as the farmers see that they cannot save their crops, the stock will eat it. Some of it will probably make hay and of course it will be preserved. Stock in Southern California is being shipped north for pasture. Several large shipments have been held meetings two or three times a day. Both factions are armed and more trouble is expected. News comes of a terrible accident that occurred shortly after dark one night last week at Trinidad mine in Sailor canyon, eighteen miles due south of Cisco, a small station on the Central Pacific in Nevada. Mr. and Mrs. John Brookenside, their fourteen months-old child and a miner who with Brookenside has been prospecting a claim for Charles Montgomery, the Oakland philanthropist, are the only residents of that country for miles and miles around. Sunday evening while Brookenside was in the tunnel, his wife left her child on the sitting-room floor, playing with a large house cat and went into the adjoining room. A few minutes later she heard agonized screams coming from the child. Rushing to its rescue, she found the cat fiercely attacking it. The desperate mother finally fought the enraged animal off, but not until it had torn both of the little fellow's eyes from their sockets. She hastily summoned men from the mine, and that night Brookenside's partner set out afloat over Forest Hill divide for Colfax to get a physician and men to help bring out the mother and child. It is feared the shock may kill Mrs. Brookenside, as she is in a delicate condition. The town of Sonoma has been in a fever of excitement ever since Wednesday morning of last week, when Senator Enos dropped dead at the home of Mrs. Rachel J. Snyder, where he had been living ever since he left his wife nine years ago. Mrs. Enos, who has resided in San Francisco ever since the estrangement, telegraphed to have the remains shipped to her. Mrs. Snyder refused to give them up. Mrs. Enos' lawyer then swore out papers and placed them in the hands of the sheriff. The officer arrived in town at 1 o'clock Friday morning and served the papers on Mrs. Snyder and her attorney. The papers were for the purpose of stopping the funeral service at Mrs. Snyder's home, which had been announced to take place at 11 o'clock. Notwithstanding the efforts of widow and daughter, the services were held, but none of the relatives of deceased were present. A sensation was sprung when the will was produced and read over the remains, according to a request on the outside of the sealed envelope. The will requested that the body be kept four days before being interred, and that it be turned over to Mrs. Snyder. Five thousand dollars was bequeathed to his daughter, Mrs. Gertie Willis, and his gold watch and chain to his nephew, John Summerfield Enos. The balance of the estate was left to his friend, Mrs. Snyder. As the four days had not expired, the funeral was brought to an abrupt end. Mrs. Snyder had the remains laid out in state in her parlors, while the widow and daughter made strenuous efforts through the courts to get possession of the husband and father. Work at the Mare Island navy yard has been shut down, owing to the work of the earthquake of Wednesday night of last week, and the 1700 employees are idle on the streets of Vallejo. A conservative estimate of the damage at the navy yard places it at $500,000. Only two buildings on the Mare Island navy yard escaped damage; the administration building and ordnance storehouse and workshops. The sawmill and paint shops are a mass of ruins, and every building except the two mentioned has sustained some damage. The hospital, a three-story brick building, is cracked from top to bottom and every joint seems loosened, while the plastering is The ex-Chancellor has hitherto said little for publication on the Spanish-American situation. To-day, however, he seemed not averse to being asked. He said: Have in times past thoroughly emulated my opinion with respect to energetic activity of the United States, which seems now on the eve of fishing to the world an actual extent of, to my mind, the very unjust doctrine. Nevertheless, I am whole-souled sympathy with the United States Congress which, under represent circumstances, demands that the Maine incident shall not go unpunished. America is a wonderful country, and Yankee nation may be compared to N.Y., haughty, haughty, overgrown giant, tinging with anxiety to spend his united physical power on some one. But the Americans have much to gain yet from their more polite Euro-brethron. It must never be forgotten that one of the principal factors international diplomacy is courtesy. The Yankees are too coarse in their expressions of ill-will. In the other hand, I hate the false, rhetorical suavity in which the Spanish seem to be so adept. I fear that impotent Castilian haughtiness and much-lauded Spanish nationalism have evolved into mere femininity, and is nothing more than an ostentatious display of vanity. Yet me tell you that Spain has not ghost of a chance against America, I will be the most surprised man, the world if, with their military intelligence, Spain will permit herself be plunged into such an unequal fate. Merr Fischer told me that Prince Biscock was very weak and that he now from receives anyone but his closest friends and relatives. His attempts leave the invalid's chair are usually short duration. BERLIN, April 2.—German Embassy at Madrid Herr Von Radowitz resides to the foreign office here that the Spanish royal family fears an outbreak, less the differences between the United States and Spain are soon ended. The Carlist movement is asking more active form and the royal fury fears especially a pronunciata from General Weyler and the military party. Everything is prepared in the royal male for fight. The boy King, Alfonso, will be taken by San Lucas de Barameda, an Andalusian port, where a yacht is kept ready sailing. The replies to the Queen's herer asking for the intervention of the European powers have been wholly satisfactory. Charles E. Baldwin, long-haired, wild-eyed and in rags, after being isolated for years away from the sight of white men, has come out of the hills in Alaska to find out what all the excitement is about. "Klondike?" he said the other day, "as he stepped off the Alaskan steamer at Vancouver," "I never heard of it until I got to the coast and saw all the crazy people crowding each other over the passes. My memory isn't very good, so I can only say it is long ago since I went to hunt gold in Alaska. About five years back I struck the richest mine in the world—a quartz claim in Tanana hills, 280 miles north of Fort Selkirk. I have gone in single-handed eighty-five feet on the vein. I claim the quartz will run $2000 a ton. With a common mortar I have got out altogether, in about four years, some $35,000. I have nearly starved to death, and my story is a true one. I have sacked as much of the ore as I could. I brought with me $17,000 in gold. If I wanted to, I could have pounded out two ounces a day. When Indians wanted pay for grub, I took a piece of rock and pounded out the price. I found lots of nuggets also. A large chest of the rock will be brought down by the next Yukon steamer. Then you will believe my story, which I know sounds like a fairy tale. If Robert Garrus of San Francisco is alive he will tell the world that I am not mad nor lying. I left San Francisco with him for Alaska, and we struck the richest mine in the world together, but he was taken sick long ago, and I had him sent to the coast. When I left my mine, Indians were dying by hundreds from starvation, owing to the scarcity of caribou. Death camps in the Tanana hills, but I can't keep away. I came down to give my stomach a treat, get my system toned up a bit, and then I will be off to my work at the Mare Island navy yard has been shut down, owing to the work of the earthquake of Wednesday night of last week, and the 1700 employees are idle on the streets of Vallejo. A conservative estimate of the damage at the navy yard places it at $500,000. Only two buildings on the Mare Island navy yard escaped damage, the administration building and ordnance storehouse and workshops. The sawmill and paint shops are a mass of ruins, and every building except the two mentioned has sustained some damage. The hospital, a three-story brick building, is cracked from top to bottom and every joint seems loosened, while the plastering is strewn everywhere. Several narrow escapes are related, and many patients received severe shocks. In officers' row, every house is damaged; gables being down and chimneys demolished. Admiral Kirkland's house shows the least damage, although it was damaged heavily inside. The house of Civil Engineer Hollyday fared the worst. All departments have ceased work, except that of equipment and the yards and docks. The great chimney of the power house is cracked in several places and will have to be rebuilt. The east wall of the steam engineering foundry has fallen and the interior is badly wrecked. The machine shop which adjoins it is also damaged and the machinery disturbed to such an extent that it will have to be overhauled throughout. The electric plant which lights buildings and grounds was badly shaken and flooded so that there was no light for two or three hours. Building 69, used by the general storekeeper, is probably damaged the most and will undoubtedly have to be condemned. The north wall has fallen, but the walls on both sides are cracked. The south wall stands six inches out of plumb. Building 51, just across the street, is in much the same condition, and a blow of a sledge hammer would cause the south wall to fall. One naval officer estimates the damage at $1,000,-000. All the complicated and expensive machinery is out of place and will have to be taken down and put up afresh. The damage at Vallejo alone is estimated at $50,000. The disaster at Mare Island may interfere seriously with the war preparations which have been going on there. A force of 1700 men, the largest in the history of the yard, has been at work night and day rushing repairs on several vessels. Now all work must cease in many important departments for an indefinite period. That tired feeling is due to impoverished blood.
