4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1895. FIRED UPON AT SE, Spaniards Intercept the American Steam- ship Allianca. SOLID SHOT WAS USED. The Ensign Was Dipped, but No Respect Paid to the Customary Salute. FULL EXPLANATION WANTED. Captain Crossman Thinks He Was Taken for a Revolutionary Transport. mail steamship Allianca, which was ceeding from Colon to New York on the 8th inst., signaled a barkentine-r; steamer under the land off Cape Ma the eastern edge of Cuba, which headed directly toward her. At 7 o'clock, when about two and a half mil istant, she hoisted the ich wassaluted by hoisting the American ensign and dip- ping, which act of courtesy was not an- swered by the Spaniard. rd, soon followed by another. The American ensign again hoisted and dipped, but the course and speed of the ship was not changed, no hostile demon- stration bein ipated. Ihe Allianca more than six miles off land. The Spanish man-of-war was not satisfied, howev with even a double salute, but proceeded to chase the Amer- ican to the fullest speed. Seeing the Alili- anca drawing aw she yawed to bringing gun to the car and fired a solid shot, which struck the water less than an eighth of a mile away from the ship and directly in line. This w followed by two more solid shots, which, fortunately, did not reach the ma the second striking the water in plain sight of the ship. At each shot, however, the Spanish snip yawed to getarange of the American ship before firi on her, plainly showing her inten- tion to hit her if she could. Captain Crossman of the Allianca, knowing he was more than two leagues from land and on the high seas, or- dered on full steam and gradually drew out of range. The chase was kept up for more than twenty-five miles, however. This outrage has been reported to the Secretary of State by Captain Crossman, and no doubt a.prompt demand will be made on the Spanish Government for an explanation of the insult and the reason required for the attempt made to stop an American m steamer on the high seas in time of ce. Captain Crossman was unable to name the Spanish gunboat. ““We were six miles off the shore on the high ,"” he said,**and I do not think we were responsible to the Cubans or anybody else for being in those waters. The shots were fired, doubtless, by some conceited Spaniard who has an idea that he can stop anything that floats. However, he was ppointed, as it never occurred to me for a moment tolay to. Itis customary for us to run within half a mile of the Cu- ban coast, and this time we were far ther away from it than ever, and I really can- not tell why the shots were fired.” In answer to a question as to whether or not the shots might have been fired by'the gunboat with the idea that his boat be- longed to the revolutionists in Cuba the captain sai They m ht have been practicing on The Allianca has been running between this port and Colon for a number of years, making one trip each month. She leaves here on the 26th day of each month and starts on her return trip on the 5th of the following month. She carries the United States mail and has passenger accommo- dations for 150 cabin passengers. ing the officers she carries a crew of sixty men. 3 NO OFFICIAL REPORT. The Authorities at Washington Have No Facts of the Case. WasmINGTON, March 12.—No report has reached the State Department of the pur- suit of and firing at the merchant ship Al- lianca off the Cuban coast by a Spanish warship, and in the absence of a definite and properly substantiated statement of the facts the officials positively decline to pass judgment in the matter. The guestions involved are those touch- ing the right of search of merchant vessels upon the high seas, and on this subject there is and always has been a great differ- ence of opinion and practice among na- tions. The records of the State Depart- ment, however, show that several rules limiting the search right have been clearly laid down by our own courts and have been accepted for the guidance of our Goy- ernment in dealing with these questions. —_— NEWS FROM FAR AUSTRALIA THE AMERICAN BARK SARAH S. RIDGEWAY WRECKED ON BELLONA SHOALS. THREE OF HER CREW WERE LosT DURING A SEVERE STORM IN JANUARY. Vicroria, B. C., March 12.—The confer- ence of Premiers at Hobart resulted in the drafting of an Australasian federation en- abling bill, which by arrangement is to be submitted first to the Parliament of New South Wales for adoption. The under- standing is that other Governments will wait until they see. what may happen there, and that if the bill should be amended there they will endeavor to submit to their respective Legislatures bills altered in a corresponding manner. How far this readiness to accept changes would be carried in practice doesmot ap- pear, but it s ‘:bvious that if the move- ment is to be successful, bills passed in all colonies must be uniform as to their main provisions. Premier Reid, whc has re- turned to Sydney, and Premier Kingston who has retnrned to Adelaide, have both expressed their satisfaction with the work done by the conference, and Mr.. Reid evidently looks upon the prospects of the movement with sanguine eyes. Survivors of the wreck of the American bark Sarah 8. Ridgeway, 836 tons, belong- ing to Philadelphia, bound from New- castle to Bingapore, with coal, reached Bundabeerg February 10. They comprise Captain N. Spjorgen, his wife, officers and Includ- | crew, numbering eleven. The vessel made a splendid run until January 25, when she encountered a terrific cyclone, lasting four ays without cessation. Six of the crew were washed and drowned. The wind defigd all ‘the efforts of the men on deck. Men lashed to the wheel worked splen- didly until forced by falling masts to aban- don their pos On the 25th the wind abated when the bark went ashore ‘on Bel- lona Shoals in 21:59 8, 435 miles northeast of Burnet Heads. The master stood by until February 5, when finding thyt the erection of jurymasts, or effecting repairs would be impos to the two boats w provisions and water. In this way t arrived at Bun- daheerg in an utterly destitute condition. Albert Restols, a seaman, is suffering from a broken leg, the mast having fallen on him. He was conveyed toa hospital and is in a precarious state. The bark was uninsured antd was only abandoned when aid had become valueless. \ The names of those drowned are Albert Scruter and Harry Bailer, seamen, and Charles Olsten, carpenter. The German cruiser Falk, which arrived at Auckland February 10 from Apia, re- ports Samoa to be very quiet. . About 1000 applications under the cheap- money act have been received m Auckland. The aggregate amount applied for is £700,- 000. By the reciprocal trade treaty entered into by South Australia and New Zealand the latter colon, 1 send into, South Aus- tralia free of duty barley, oats, horses and hops. South Australia can send to New Zealand free, wine, salt, o oil ‘and fresh and dried fruits. It will affect American trade. The postal conference at Hobart adopted a resolution favoring the apportionment of the cost of a Pacitic cable among Eng- land, Canada and the Colonies of Australia and naming of a joint commission made up of representatives of all to consider the project. REVflLU?IEJu COLOMBIA. THE REBELS HAVE BEEN DEFEAT- ING THE GOVERNMENT TROOPS REGULARLY. REG a ible, he and the crew took h CoLoN MERCHANTS ARE GUARDING THEIR PROPERTY FRoM IN CENDIAR Covox, March 12—The recent reports of repeated victories by the Colombian Gov- ernment troops over the revolutionists chal- lenge surprise when they get back here from distant parts in printed form. These reports are misleading, because the revolu- tion is cnly growing by reported victo- ries. It isstill in progress and the Gov- ernment of Colombia is in sore straits for men and money. The Congress of Bogota has just passed a bill for a forced loan. This measure pro- vides that $1,000,000 a month shall be col- lected from the merchants throughout the republic. The method of its collection, no less than the loan itself, will cause bitter dissatisfaction. It is believed that the offi- cers will apportion the amount to be col- lected from each merchant and individual, and as the amounts to be collected are not based entirely on the actual capital of each merchant, but on his supposed capital, it can be plainly seen how sympathy for the revolutionists may be created. The interests of the country are para- lyzed, as the Government is conscripting soldiers down to the age of 14 yearsand those who are not in the army already or | in the field with the revoluticuists are hiding in the mountains. The premium on gold has risen to 142)¢ per centand that with the increased cost of living, owing to recent advances in the tariff and the low price for labor prevailing, is causing great distress. Merchants are ex- ceedingly apprehensive that their places of business will be fired for pillage. Three attempts were made on the night of February 28 to burn Colon, and but for the prompt discovery and suppression of the fires the city would have been in ashes, The merchants of Colon are doing night patrol duty as most of the police force of the city are now in the regular army. s Ismael Pasha’s Remains Interred. Carro, March 12.—The remains of Is- mael Pasha, Khedive of Egypt, who died recently at Constantinople, arrived here from Alexandria last evening and were conveyed to the Rifa Mosque, where they were interred with much pomp. e Bill Cummings Wounded. Perry, O. T., March 12.—Deputy United States Marshal John H. Hammer Jr. of this city, who went into the Creek country after a horse thief, was. surprised by Jake Mor- ton, Bill Cummings and Marion Beebe,out- laws, and robbed of his arms, money, coat and saddle. He hastened to the next town and got assistance, and to-day arrested the | men after a hard fight, in which Bill Cum- mings was badly wounded. DO YOU EXPECT TO Become a Mother ? Ifso,then permit usto @\ saythat Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion is indecd a true “Mother's Friend,” FOR IT MAKES hildbirth Fasy by preparing the system for parturition, thus assisting Nature and Shortening ‘‘Labor.”” The painful ordeal of childbirth is robbed of its terrors, and the dangers thereof great- ly lessened, to both mother and child.

HOG RANCHES ON A CREEK. THE QUESTION OF THE CONTAMI- NATION OF LAKE MERCED STiLL UNSETTLED. In accordance with the programme out- lined Monday the Supervisors made a trip to the Colma watershed in order to see | whether the charges that the waters of Lake Merced are contaminated by the seepage from the surrounding cow and hog ranches were true or not. As will be remembered this proposition of the impurity of the water in Lake Mer- ced first came up in the Board of Health when Mayor Sutro presented a sample of Spring Valley water which had been analyzed by Professor Price, and wh showed that the liquid contents of Lake Merced were impure. Promptly at 9 o’clock four carriages and Mayor Sutro’s private double-seated carry- all were waiting outside the new City Hall to convey the official investigators to the scene of their labors—such as they might be. The sight of the vehicles was very gratifying to the members of the board, who had been given the impression by the Mayor that the party would ride out to Colma on the electric cars, and from that point walk over the hills to Lake Merced, All the members of the board were on hand, except_Supervisors Spreckels and Scully. Drs. Regensburger and Bucknall represented. the Board of Health. The press was also well represented, and with but little delay the procession started out in the direction of the M which the damp gray mi were still grouped th ineli to be raw and disagreeable. The sun skulked behind gray clouds and did not appear to take any interest in the actions of the Supervisors or any one else in this vicinit; The route taken was out the Almshouse road, full in the teeth of the raw mists, and then on to the Ocean House road. A L sts of the morning in_quaint forms under about which some complaint had been made, although it is two miles from Lake Merced. Mr. Daly was on hand to meet the party, and he was very anxious that they should see everything about his place in order to disprove the charges. | be would defy any one to find a creek | around the ranch that was 100 yards long, | or that could in any way find its way into | the waters of Lake Merced. The ground | all around is sandy, and all seepage sinks into it. There was no chance for any of the refuse from the place to getinto | | the lake. After looking around and agree-~ ing with Mr. Daly under conditions as went on to Colma. It was there that Mr. Fitzgerald and oth- ers wholive in the vicinity charged that hog ranches conduced to make filthy the creek which runs down to Lake Merced. An in- vestigation showed that there wasno doubt about the existence of the hog ranches, or the malodorous smells which they exuded. There was the mud, and the hogs and the smell, but then the guestion arose among the officials as to whether the tainted water reached Lake Merced or not. The stream as seen yesterday was not a heavy one and several Super rs who walked down it several hundred yards found that the water was quite clear. Mayor Sutro concluded that through | lack of rain the creek did not have much of a flow at present, but that in winter when the water flowed down the shed it carried all the filth into Lake Merced. Satisfied from the smell that the hog ranches were at the least a nuisance which required abatement the Supervisors and party passed on to one of the main causes | of complaint, Mrs. Hallinan’s ranch, on | the creek about a mile from the lake. She | keeps hogs, and it is beld that the water. | flows directly from her place into the creek. | | | Mayor Sutro had been informed that the ill and refuse from the city restaurants were dumped on the banks of the creek for the wallowing hogs to eat. The hogs were found, and there were unmistakable evi- dences of filth in the creek, but the ques- tion in tne minds of the Supervisors was whether it reached the lake or not; or, if it did, whether the water was not purified in its passage over the soft bed. Mrs. Hallinan, who saw the visitors, loudly asserted that some of her neighbors did not like her and that they wanted to get her away from the place. This was the last place visited. It was | getting late in the afternoon, and some of the party wanted to return. There was no time to visit the lake, although some of | the Supervisors said they woul% like to see how it looked and test its waters. Before returning the party enjoyed a “picnic” luncheon provided by Mayor Sutro. Among the liquid refresments furnished were several bottles of water from Sutro Heights, which relieved the Supervisors from the necessity of drinking the waters of the creek. In some respects the trip was unsatisfac- tory to the Supervisors, because the lake itsélf was not visited. They wanted to learn whether the waters of the creek ac- tually ran into it or not and contaminated it as had been charged. FIGHTING AT THE ALTAR. POLISH CATHOLICS USE WEAPONS TO GAIN POSSESSION OF THEIR CHURCH. THE PRIEST RESISTS AND WOUNDS A NUMBER OF THE INVAD- ING FORCE. ©OyAHA, March 12.—During the early morning mass at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church to-day a party of Poles, formerly members of the congregation, but ousted by Bishop Scannell, entered the church and attempted to take possession. Father Karminski, who was saying mass, resisted the attempt to capture the church, and one of the invading party opened fire. Father Karminski drew a revolver and fired into the attacking party. After a long fusillade the invaders withdrew, leaving their wounded in the church. Those wounded were: F. Dargaczewski, shot through both legs; John Kozioka, shot through the knee; Joseph Inda, one of the priest’s supporters, stabbed and beaten over the head. The police were summoned, and after a hard fight took possession of the church. Several people were arrested, among them Father Karminski. They are now in jail. The trouble was the, outgrowth of dis- serisions which have torn the church for two years. Bishop Scannell removed the priest in charge in spite of the protests of the leading men of the congregation, and the matter was carried into the courts. Three weeks ago the District Court de- cided that the Bishop should have posses- sion, and the trouble was supposed to be ended. 5 When the officers arrived on the scene on hills, around | e influence of a March wind that was | stop was made at John Daly’s milk ranch, | He said | they are now in the place, the procession | i | | | | | bravely he met the onslaught. { downed. this morning they. found an infuriated mob surrounding the church building, and it was necessary to fight their way in. There they found the priest in full possession, backed by five altar-boys, and two wounded men lying in the aisles. More nguubl'e is feared and another bat- talion of police has been sent to the neigh- borhgod of the church. Although the attack wasa surprise to the priest, something of the kind had been expected for some time, and he had ar- ranged a signal fo call his supporters around him when it should occur. This signal was the ringing of the church bells. The enemy had become aware of this fact, and when the attack was made men pulled the ropes of the bell outside and tied them to a fence. Priest Karminski discovered this, and after closing the doors of the church, he sent one of the boys into the tower and soon the danger signal was peal- ing over the land. As soon as it was heard his supporters began to rally, coming to the side door of the church, and being ad- mitted within. On their way to the building they were welcomed by the enemy with clubs and rocks, but nothing daunted, they arrived at the rallying place. The enemy decided that this would have to be stopped and made a rush for the door. Joseph Inda, who, néxt to the priest, is at the head of the congregation which has possession of the church, was stationed at the steps as a guard and But num- bers were too much for him and he was His head was battered with the blows of clubs and rocks and he has a deep and long gash on his forehead which was made by a knife. His defense, however, gave time to the attacked to close and lock the doors of the church and the enemy was again balked. Inda was carried to his home. While his injuries are severe they are not dangerous. The parties making the attack claim to have the right on their side. They say that Judge Ambrose decided the property belonged to the Roman Catholic church and if so the title is vested in Bishop Scannell. If this is the case then the Bishop has the power to appoint a priest to carry on ser- vices. The congregation is about evenly divided, about eighty families being on each side. The leader of the Scannell division seems to be Joseph Nowicki. Priest Karminski and Joseph Inda appear to be at the head of the other faction. The priest claims that he has been threatened frequently by his enemies. They desire to kill him, he says, and have held meetings to lay plans for doing so, but the Bishop has told them rot to do this. He thinks that the whole trouble was caused by Nowicki. Fire Near Capay. Cal. Caray, March 12.—The one story resi- dence of 8. S. Winchell, near Cadenasso, was totally destroyed by fire Monday evens ing. Only a suit of clothes was saved. The fire was caused the explosionof a coal- oil lamp. Loss $1500. FRANK WADSWORTH AT REST His FUNERAL YESTERDAY WAS LARGELY ATTENDED BY HIS - FORMER FRIENDS. He Was THE YOUNGEST UNION SoLDIER BoY IN THE CIVIL WAR. The funeral of Frank Wadsworth of the San Francisco Custom-house took place from his late residence, 1223 York street, yesterday afternoon, and was largely at- tended. Among those present were: Chief Weigher Rhodes, Messrs. Holmes and Gallagher of the Surveyor’s office, Day In- spector J. W. Lee, F. B. Sharpe and T. Mahoney of the Collector’s department and J. R. Flint of the naval office. - Garfield Post, G. A. R., was represented by ex-Commander J. Karaminsky, Com- mander 8. W. Milstead, Chaplain Borden Frank Wadsworth, Once the Youngest Soldier in the Union Army. [From a photograph.] and forty comrades; J. W. Lee of Lincoln and E. K. Cooley of George H. Thomas Post, also a_deicgation from the United Workmen. “Messrs. Rhodes and Holmes of the Custom-house, W. P. Johnson, F. A. Kelly, Fred Hoffman and A. Rose of Gar- field Post, G. A. R., acted as pallbearers. The services at the house were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Collier of the Episcopal church. The remains were laid to rest in O‘yp‘ress‘ Lawn Cemetery, Chaplain Borden of Garfield Post officiating at the simple but impressive ceremonies over the grave. The disease which carried off Mr. Wads- worth in his prime was la grippe. He leaves a widow, three sons and a aughter. For a number of years he had been em- ployed in the Custom-house, first as da; inspector and latterly in the weigher’s of- fice, where he also rendered efficient ser- vice. Frank Wadsworth was one of the young- est, if not the youngest soldier in the Federal Army during the Civil War. He enlisted at 14, the recruiting officer prob- ably being misled as to his age, owing to his height, which was even then 5 feet-11 inches.” He lost his arm at 16 and while a member of the Seventh Maine Infantry, Sixth Army Corps, He saw twenty years of continuous service in the Custom-house, having been first appointed by General Miller. He was a man of great resolution, and went to his daily task whether sick or well. The last words he uttered were, +‘I wish I had taken a vacation.” ————————— The Death of Lazar. . Drs.

HIGH LIVER! LOW LIVER! BAD LIVER! The liver is the lar;est glandular organ in the body. The weight of all the salivary glands together is about three ounces, while the liver weighs from three to four pounds. The bile-secreting apparatus consists of glandular cells and blood vessels. The Hepatic Artery supplies nourishment to the liver ducts, arteries, veins and sym- phatics. The red blood corpuscles decom- pose in the spleen, pass into the portal vein, furnishing in their oxygen hmmo- globin and other elements, important con- stituents to the composition of the bill- rubin and salts of the bile. Sometimes your liver swells. Then you have pain in the right side. You get yel- low (jaundice). Your tongue is coated. You have a bad taste in the mouth morn- ings. You have afoul breath. Sometimes a hacking cough—headaches are frequent. Your liver is inactive. Your digestion im- paired. You get dizzy. Blind sensations. Your appetite is impaired. You feeltired, despondent. No energy. These symptoms all result from a torpid liver. You have rushing of blood to the head. Your bowels are constipated, your skin dry and rough. Swelling of the liver is commonly callea biliousness. There is always a cause for biliousness in impure blood, dyspepsia, irregular habits, over-exertion, close con- finement, insufficient exercise, nervous prostration. To keep your liver healthy the moderate use of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, acting as a mild liver stimulant, promotes diges- tion, active kidney and regulates the bowels. CATARRH. X. W.
