NAVY-YARD, MARE ISLAND, CAL. | Maren 17, 1863. 9 Sir: 1have the honor to inform you of the eapture of the schoouer J. M. Chapman on the 15th inst. by the boats of the United States | ship Cyane, in_the harbor of fan Francisco. which vessel, there is every reason to believe, was, from the munitions of war found on board and the large number of her crew, de- signed to prey upon our commerce. A copy of Lieutenent-Commander Shirley’s zepastis herewith inclosed. < The capture of this vessel is conclusive evi- dence of the importance of having & vessel of war at all tunes lying off the City of San Fran- cisco. I am, servaut, your obedient SELFRIDGE, Commandant. s, Secretary of the Navy, sir, very respectfully, Tros. O. Hon. GipEox WEL] Washington, D. C. The report inclosed with that letter to Secretary Welles is as follow: UNTTED STATES SHIP CYAN 84N FRANCISCO HARBOR, March 17, 1863. Sir: Having been apprised by Mr. Rankin, the Collector, and Dr. McLean, the Surveyor of the Port, that the schooner J. M. Chapman was fitting out here, and would soon put to sea for the purpose of preying upon our commerce, I determined to seize her,and now have the honor to report that @bout dayiight on the morning of the 15th inst. I was informed by the officer of the deck that the said schooner was getting under way, when 1 dispatched two armed boats under Lientenant Yates, the ex- ecutive officer of this ship, with orders 1o seize her and then act in conjunction with the civil authorities. The schooner was taken without resistance and brought to anchor, immediately after which the Surveyor of the Port and W. B. Far- well, the Naval Oflicer, went alongside in a steam tug, and, taking the schoomer in tow, proceeaed over to Fort Aleatraz, where the cargo was examined, and among other things guns, ammunition, ete., found on board. Some seventeen persons had been found concesled in the hold, who were confined in Aicatraz; and the schooner was then brought up and an- chored near this ship. I put an officer and four men to look out for her,a policeman aiso re- maining on board. The crew of the schooner, four in number, I had brought on this ship and put under the sentry’s charge. The greater pert of the cargo was discharged at Alcatraz. Allof which is submitted and instructions asked for. . 1 have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, PAUL BHIRLEY, Lieutenant-Commander. T. O, SELFRIDGE, Commandant Navy-yard, Mare Island, Cal. It is an odd fact that in February, 1862, a little more than a year before the cap- ture in this bay, the schooner J. M. Chap- man gave valuable assistance to a United States line-of-battie ship that was nearly wrecked on the Massachusetts coast. The Vermont had started from Boston in tow of two tugboats, bouud for Port Royal, 8. C. Inatremendous gale the tow lines were let go. The Nantucket Shoals were barely avoided, the Vermont’s rudder baving been carried away, and then the schooner Chapman came in sight and remained six days with the disabled Ver- mwont. The Vermont was nearly wrecked 'Whlesnzthu steamer San Francisco was lost 1n 1853, The schooner J. M. Chapman was from New London, Conn., and when she gave relief-to the battle-ship Vermont she was under the command of Captain A. J. Chapman. On coming to this port she was bought by Broker Travers for the men who attempted to make a privateer of her. She was a splendidly built schooner, of beautiful lines, and was a rapid sailer. At the time of the capture of the Chap- man in this harbor there wasa general attempt, though fecble and without any prospect of success, to ‘“‘fire the Southern hearv’ throughout the State. A report of a threatened uprising was made by the Sheriff of Napa County, who warned the officers of Mare Island of & plan, nurtured at Napa, of capturing the navy-yard. There was also a project of taking posses- sion of a steamer at Sacramento, secretly advancing and taking possession of the arsenal at Benicia and then hurrying on to add Aleatraz and Fort Point to the Confederate strongholds. ) SUMMER PROGRAMME | The Olympic Club Athletes i Will Meet the Mult- | nomah Flyers. Games That Will Be Held Here in April—Cross-Country Run and Clambake. Cl The directors of the Olympic Club will try their utmost to create " a stirring inter- | est in outdoor sport this summer. If the | athletes will appreciate the good work the officers of the club and the Pacific Athletic Association are doing in their behalf there ill, most assuredly, be a boom in athleties year. | Captain Leonard Gill of the Olympics has arranged the following extensive pro- gramme of sport, which stould attract the | attention of athletes Who will be given an opportunity of proving to the sport-loving public what they are really capable of ac- complishing in fleld and track athletics. ‘‘Commencing on April 5,” said Captain Gill, *a 100-yard bandieap race, open to all arnateur members of the Pacific Asso- ciation, will be held at the outdoor grounds. “On April 12 a 220-yard handicap will be | held, and on A prii 17 a half-mile handicap | will pe run. The two men winuning the greatest number of points in those events will receive respectively beautiful gold and silver medals. “The idea in giving those races is to bring out the Jlatent talent from among the members, and to encourage the boys to go ahead and practice assiduously for | the championship games which, I pre- dict, will be notly contested this year. “I propose picking a rattling good team of ten athletes from the local fratermiy with the object of paying Portiand, Or., a visitin June. The president of the Mult- | nomah Athletic Club is very anxious to place a team which will represent Oregon in an all-round outdoor athletic competi- tion against a team from the Olympic Club. “The latter team will, of course, repre- | sent California. It is through competi- | tions of this kind that an interest in clean athletic sport will be aroused. Possibly Los Angeles may also be included in the programme of games that will be arranged later on to cover various parts of the coun- try. *<Just as soon as the weather will permit of a tramp in the interior I will order a cross-country run from San Mateo to the beach, where the boys will enjoy a clam- bake of the most elaborate kind. On the evening of the 3lstinst. 2 championship wrestiing tonrnament will be held at the Olympic Club, and the weigits will be 125, 140 and 158 pounds. *‘Any of the entrants who will scale more than the last-named figures will be classi- fied as heayy-weights. You may note therefore that athletics will receive an im- petus this spring and summer.” Professor George Miehling of the Olym- pic Ciub presented the famous head-bal- ancers, the Pantzer brothers, with a gold medal, valued at $250, last evening at the Orpheum Theater. The directors and pro- fessors of the Olympic Club, who had wit- nessed the wonderful balancing feats of these famous athletes, placed their signa- tures to a card, on which was printed in golden letters words complimentary to those daring and famous German athietes. JAPANESE HEMP, A Cheap California Article Substituted for an Expensive Oalcutta Jute. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation will soon branch out in a new di- rection by organizing & home product club in Bakersfield, Tularé County, that will be an auxiliary to the institution in this City. As soon asthe Bakersfield club is organ- ized that body and the parent organiza- tion will make an investigation into the possibilities of cultivating Japanese hemp. In sevoral parts of the United States this fibrous plant has been raised with success. In the Middle States it. grows six feet in height, but experiments in Tulare County show that it attains a height of fifteen feet and two crops a year can be ethem. In that county an acre of the “elta ground will produce about 4000 pounds, worth § cents per pound. The cost of production is not over $50 an acre. The intention 1s to have the Japanese hemp take the place of jute for bags, twine, ete. A man in Bakersfield claims that he has perfected a machine that cleans the fiber ready for commercial purposes. The local officers of the association have sent letters of inquiry to Mr. Rutherford of the Oakland Jutemills and to the super- intendent of the jutemills at San Quentin with the view of learning if.the hemp from the Japanese plant can substituted for the Calcutta jute now being used. If so a new industry will immediately spring up i this State. P9 NEW TO-DATY. DELAY NEANS DEATH. Hard to Convinee Criticsand Doubters, Although Drs. Copeland and Neal's Offices Are Well Patronized. READ SYMPTOMS CAREFULLY. Disease, When Taken at Its Incipiency, 1s Easily Conquered, Hence Delay Is Dangerous. F ONE COULD GET THE READING AND thinking public to accept the exaet, unquals ified truth regarding the work Drs. Copeland and Neal are doing, no building in the city would be large enough to accommodste the crowds that would flock to them. The exacttruth, painted by no exaggeration, dulled by no atmosphere of advertising. The exact truth: Just who Drs. Copeland and Neal are, what their vast experience has been, how many cures they have effected, what means they use to cure their patients, what medicines they provide, by what management the very best medicines and the very best skill are afforded the people at fees hardly one-fourth of those ususally charged. Great numbers of people suffer from the malign poisons of catarrh, asfrom other subtle chronic maladies, without any correct or definite 1dea of the nature of their affliction. The following symp- toms have been carefully arranged by Dr. Copeland to enable many sufferers to understand just what it is that ails them. Many diseases, known under various specific names, are really of catarrhal origin and nature. Every part of the mucous membrane, the nose, throat, eyes, ears, head, lungs, stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys, etc., are subjett to disease and blight by catarrh. The proper course for sufferers is this : Read these symptoms carefully over; mark those that apply to your case and bring this with youto Dr. Copeland. If you live away from the city, send them by mail and ask for mail treatment. In cither instance, and whether by mail or oflice treatment, the patient may be as- sured of the speediest relief and cure possible to medical science. CATARRH of the HEAD and THROAT. The most prevalent form of catarrh re- sults from neglected colds. Speedy and inexpensive cure by the Copeland sys- tem. “Is the breath foul " «]s the voice hus “Do you spis up sliime “Do you ache all ove “Do you blow out scabs ? «s the nose stopped up 2"’ “Do you snore at mght 2’ Does your nose discharge 7 Does the nose bleed easily 2" . “4Js there tickling in the throat 2 form in the nose 2" sneeze a great deal vorse toward night he nose iteh and burn in front of “Does «1s there pai ere a dropping in the throa «Is the throet dry in the mornin, “Are you losing your sense of ta “)o you sleep with the mouth open ? “Does your nose stop up toward night ?”” CATARRH of the BRONCHIAL TUBES. When catarrh of the head and throat is leftunchecked it extends down the wind- pipe into the bronchiul tubes and in time attacks the lungs. Speedy and inexpen- sive cure by the Copeland system. **Have you a cough " “Are you losing flesh?” “T30 you cough at night? “Have you pain in side?” “Do yoi take cold easily?” “Js your appetite variable «“Have you titches in side” “Do you cough until you zag?” «Aré you low-spirited at tines?” “To you rafse frothy material " “Do you pit up yellow matter? o you cough on going to b Do you cough in the mornin, «Is your cough short and hacking “Do you spit up little cheesy lui “Have you a disgust for fatty fooc ickling behind the pelate vou pain behind breastbone?” “Do you feel you are growing weaker +Is there & burning pain in the throat +Do you cough worse night and morning?” “Do” you have to sit up at night to get breath?” o CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS. Catarrh of the kidneys results either from colds or from overwork of the kid- neys in separating from the blood the poisons that have been absorbed from catarrh of other organs. Speedy and in- expensive cure by the Copeland system. “Do your hands and feet swell?"” “Is this more noticeable in the mornings?”’ “Are they cold and clammy?” “Is there pain in small of back?” “‘Is the urine dark and cloudy “Does a deposit form when left standing?” «Is there a desire to get up ot night?” e spots floating before the eyes?” ¢ dull and staring?” “Is there & bud taste in mou th?” “Fave you pain intopof bead?” s your hair getting grav?”’ “If so, is it silvery waite?" “Isthe skin dry and harsh “Is the hair dry and brittl “JIs there nausea after eatl: “Has the perspiration a “Is there pufliness under the eyes?’” “Are there dark rln%s around the eyes?” “Is the skin pale and dry?” *Has the skin a waxy look?” “Do you see unpleasant things while asleep?” “Have you chilly feclings down the back?” “Dothe joints pain and ache ?°* “Do the legs feel too heavy?” CATARRH OF THE' EARS. Catarrh extends from the throatalong the Eustachian tube into the ears, caus- ing defective hearing. Speedy and inex- pensive cure by the Copeland system. “Js your hearing failing ?” “Do your ears discharge?”’ “Are the ears dry and scaly ? “Do the ears itch and burn “Ts the wax dry in the ears?” «]s there a throbbing in ears?” «Are you graduelly getting deaf?” «Have you pain behind the ears?” «s there a buzzing souand heard?" “Do you have a ringing in the ear: “Are there cracking sounds heard? ] your hearing bad cloudy days?”’ Do you have earache occasionally?* ‘Are the sounds like steam esca?in I Do you constantly hear noises in the ears?” Do your ears hurt when you blow the nose?” s there a roaring like a waterfall in head?” ‘Do you hear better some days than others?* “Do the noises in the ears keep you awake?” “When you blow your mnose do the ears erack?” "'I“m your hearing worse when you havea a? $5 A MONTH. ‘No fee larger than §5 a month asked for an diseage, Our motto 1s: “A Low Fee, Quigl Cure.
