2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, [ONDAY, MARCH 8, 1897. water are allowed to enter the tanksin the sides of the hull beiween the inner and outer skins. The craft immwediaely sinks herself to the awash condition. She now has three feet of water over her hull, with only her armored turrat expose and she is making 15 kunots an hour. There is a second puff and a flash and a boom and & shell shrieks past the Ameri- can. The brave little vessel is within the range of the enemy’s guns. Itis decided to dive, thus taking away the only and very unsatisfactory target the Britisher had. The commander runs ngers over his electric signal-board. t the petroleum fires aro obdered ex- nguished—the furnace doors are herme}- cally sealed. Another signal from the turret and the smokestack and the air- shaft adjoining it areautomatically drawn down into the hull and a water-tight cov- ering swings over and is clamped upon the opening through which the stack rose. One more ton of water is admitted to the tanks, and the buoyancy of the vessel is almost overcome. Next two horizontal rudders on the right and left sides of the stern are slightly inclined upward. This drives the craft down head first, and in thirty seconds she has disappeared from view. The enemy has nothing to fire at but a few ripples upon the water. As the submarine craft hasa constant tendency to rise, or a reserve buoyancy amounting to 375 tons, she has forced below by her horizontal rudders. For awhile she is operated by the steam left in her boilers, When this is con- sumed a 70-horsepower electric motor, driven by thirty-iwo tons of storage bat- teries, are coupled to the screw=. When she reaches a depth of thirty fzet the ves- cel is beaded toward the Britisher. Under the water the craft makes eight knots an hour. The little company under the sea is drawing its life breath from air stored in bronze tanks at a pressure of pounds to the squ. inch. It has been demonstrated by the in- ventor, through tests whicn he has made under the water, that it is impossible to see a foot ahead of you when submerged. To keep the boat on a straight course a triangular drag is rigged over the rudder. This is so arranged that if the vessel deviates from her cours¥ the drag ope- rates on the rudder, throwing it to ti right or left, bringins the craft back upon her course aga of hundred yards the boat rises to the sur- face to observe the enemy and also to see to be | 2000 | After a run of a counle | |4 feet bigh. This steel point may be jammed into the unprotected bull of a | vessel with disastrous effect. Craft of this kind can live where no other kind of vessel dare show its nose—in. the line of fire between two hostile fleets. She couid cross the fire-swep: zone with no:hing but her observation mirror above water and attack the opposition while the big fellows were too busy peppering one n‘nolher to waste time looking for a piece of pipe sticking above the water. Suould the enemy entrench itself in one of our harbors and protect itseif by laying an outer line of anchored torpedoes or submarine mines, this little wonder wouid be used to find the obstructions and blow them up. She may also be of inestimable value in carrying 1nessages through hostile lines, for if she is at- | tacked sne simply has to sink herself and | pass under the enemy. She can lay in a channel leading to a seaport and defy any invaders 1o pass over her. And if some old hulks of vessels were sunk in a chan- nel to prevent the United States warships from relieving a besieged city, the sub- | marine could steal in under the water and | blow the obstructions to smithereens. The radius of action of this manufactured fish is 1000 miles on the surface and 60 miles nnder water. It will be remembered that the Monitor burst upon the world as a realization akin to the marvelous. In an hour the existing | navies of mankind passed away asa breath. In the face of the new craft, taking its success for granted, the monster steel-clad battle-ship is as helpless as the improvised iron-clad was before the *‘cheese-box on a | shingle.” It will be remembered against what a head of oppusition the creation of | Ericksson’s « enius had to fight its way. | The battie with the Merrimac was but play in comparison to it. | Inaddition to being able to dive like a porpoise while running, the craft can be | sunk while she is at a standstill, This is accomplished by admitting water to the | ballast tanks which cover the bottom of the vessei, which will nearly overcome her buoyancy. Then screws on top of the bow and the stern, revolving horizontally, will drive the little fighter to the bed of the waters. When on the bottom a mush- room auchor will be lowered from the bow and fasten itself in the earth, thus holding the craft to she bottom. There are two methods of escape in case the vessel goes to tig bottom through ac- | cident and refuses to rise again.

Merry for United States Minister to the Greater Republic of Central America (Nicaragua, Costa Risa and San Salvador), Romualdo Pacheco for Minister to Brazil, Irving B. Dudley of San Diego for Min- ister to the Hawaiian Republic, Frank Coombs for Minister to Japan (the post formerly held by him), W. Ragsdale of Banta Rosa as Consul to Hongkong, Colonel Ellis of Alameda as Consul to Yokobama and M. H. de Young as Minis- ter to Italy. It is the understanding that John P. Jackson wili be indorsed for Collector_of the Port of San Francisco, although Joe Spear is here on the ground and is making a vard fight for the place. Itis under- Sectional View of Submarine Torpzdo-Boat That Is to Bz Launched at Baltimore in a Few Days. if she is headed directly ntal rudders are slightly rd and the porpoise rises itnin three feet of the surface. ‘While moving slong in this position a hollow tube, four feet long, is run from the back of the boat up through the water and a foot aboye the surface of the sea. In the side of this tube, near its top, there is a hole, and in this opening there is a mirror. The tube is revolved from the turret and the mirror reflects a picture of everything on the waters and carries the image down into the turret. The com- mander of the submarine sees the officers giving orders from the bridge of the Royal Sovereign and the apprehensive crew scurrying about the deck of the bat- tle-ship. They are making haste to get out the protective nets around the ship’s huil. The submarine now dives for the attack. She passes uncer the spot where the battle-ship was seen last, but the ex- pected shadow of the hullin the water was absent. The foreignes was constantly changing his course in an effort to elude | tue unseen destroyer. The American arose to the surface again for asnother observation and the battle-ship was seen just a hundred yards shead. She dived again, and the two men in the bow ready to fire the torpedoes were signaled to “stand by” for action. Soon there was seen dead ahead tne shadow of the invader. The order to fire was given, and from out of the bow of the submerged craft shot a torpedo. It was 11 feet 9 inches in length and 18 inches in width. Every inch of it was crammed with explosives. It automatically pro- pelled itself by a screw and a rudder to- ward the shadow. There was a moment of suspense, followed by a churning of | the sea, and the Americans knew they had hit something. As they arose to the surface again for an abservation they passed throu:h troubled waters, and they saw that the nets of the ship had been torn and were hanging to the ship’s sides in an indescribable tangle. The troubled waters through which the small craft had pa:sed proved to be the wake of the battle-ship which was gath- ering neadway and making ready to put out 0 sea again. Quickly the Americans got below again and found the Britisher's shadow over their heads. A button was pressed, a second torpedo left the bow and agisappeared in the gloom beyond. Those aboard the batile-ship felt their vessel heave and raise beneath them. Water shot up fifty feet in thick volumes on both ‘bows of the big warship. The bow rose up, tottered and then fell back into the sea, while the whole ship labored and trembled as if she were in a gale. The officers on the bridge stood still with blanched faces. The crew were transiixea at their posts. No one moved, no one spoke. Then the engineers and stokers trom below rushed on deck with the news that the ship was filling. There was great hole in the ship’s bow. *Clear away the lifeboats!” rang out from the bridge and was carried along the decks as the magnificent vessel careened to oneside and settied by the head. While the men were scrambling over the sides into the life- boats and the officers were still at their posts on the bridge or deck the Roy al Sov- ereign gave a lurch and went down by the head. Struzglin: men, floating wreckage and & sea of troubled waters was all that was Jeft of the mighty acversary. Should the little fighter fire all her five torpedoes and not hit her opponent she still has her ram or armored turret with which to fight. This turret is shaped hke an inverted boat on the yessel’s back, with a cutwater fore and aft. The armor is 4 inches in thickness and the turret is 9 feet long, 3 feet 10}4 inches in widih and 1 for her. To do| " = sure of the s | a is a sensitive diaphragm. If | the craft sinks 100 deep the increased den- | sity of tne sen forces the diaphragm in- ward and it moves a piston-rod. This rod opens a valye in a water-tank, when pnefl- matic pressure will force out a quantity of water ballast; air will take its place and the craft will be forced to rise to the sur- tace. each member of the crew wiil dress in the rezulation diver's suit, the hull will be al- lowed to gradualiy fill with water, a hatch will be opened and the men will be carried to the surface by the buoyancy of the suits. | The cralt is to carry sufficient provisions | to remain on the bottom for three days, | and she cau also lie submerged for tnree | i | dzys without the necessity of coming up for air. To accomplish the latter a coil of hose attached to a floater is released, when it will rise to the surface. Air is then | pumped down through the hose and | stored in tanks. The vessel has been con- structed to withstand the pressure at a | depth of eighty feet. She has frames 314 | by 3}¢ inches in thickness and the steel | plaies on the null frames are a half inch | thick. Itis well known that a submarine | boat must be a sensitive vessel. A man walking about their interiors often affects | their trim. When a torpedo is fired irom this crait a corresponding amount of water will be admitted to the vessel to equalize matters, and all fuel consumed will also be compensated for. Further de- tails of the craft are explained by the ac- companying cat. Submarine boats which did not possess one-tenth of the qualities of tkis fighter | have sunk ships. David Bushnell, an American, tried one on the 84-zun vessel | Eagle, belonging to the British, while she was in New York Bay. The craft dove under the hull of the big fighter well enough, but the attempt to screw the tor- pedo to the warship's hull failed, because | the effort drove back the sensitive sub- merged boat. When the attack was re- newed the Eagle had moved away. Rob- ert Faltor, the distinguishea American inventor, traveled under the harbor of Brest, France, for hours, and offered to \“deliver France and the whole world | from British oppression” if Napoleon | would only give him a chance at the Eng- |lish three-deckers. Napoleon let the | American experiment on an old vessel | and he promptly blew it up, but the Cor- | sican gave him fo further encourage- | ment. Then Fuiton went over to the enemy, offering his boat to the British, but Prime Minister Pitt, it is said, refused to adopt a mode of warfare which might rob England of her supremacy of the seas. FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS. California’s Republican Dslegation in Con- gress Will Make a Number of Recommendations. WASHINGTON, D. €., March 7.—The California Republican delegation in Con- gress held a protracted meeting to-day at the rooms of Senator Perkins in the Maltby building, one of the Senate an. nexes, to further consider recommenda- tions for Federal appointments. Thers were present Senator Perkins and Repre- sentaiives Loud, Barham and Hilborn. The only other Californian presen. was Major Frank McLaughlin, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. The session lasted from 10 o’clock till 8 in the afternoon. A vast number of applications were piled up on the table, but the net result of the conference, according to one of those who was present, may sam- marized thu The de.egation decided to indorse Frank huli of the vessel and exposed to the pres. ! stood also that Senator Perkins favors i | | Should this method of escape faii | Jackson, as heretofore wired THE CALL. Mr. Spear’s friends say that the fight is between these two men, but it is apparent that 8pear is losing hope. Thero is a_long list of candidates for Collector of Internal Revenue. This ap- pointment is the most perplexing of all and will he left to a future meeting of the delegation for settlement. Neitber the San Francisco postmastership nor the Pension agency were considersd at to- day’s meeting, the incumbents of these offices having a year or more to serve. It seems to be conceded that Colonel Harrison Gray Otis, editor of the Los An- geles Times, will be appointed Assistant Secretery of War. The Colonel is making no effort to secure the appointment, for, as Major McLaughlin said to THE CaLt correspondent_to-night, “‘this seems to be a case of the office seeking the man.” Colonel Otis’ appointment will seriously interfere with tiie aspirations of two other Caliiornians of lesser note. Thess are Stephen W. Mosher of Del Rosa and How- ard. Kutchin of the San Diego Tribune, each of whom wants to be Fourth Assis- tant Postmaster-General. This is an im- portant position, for the Fourth Assistant appoints all of the fourth-ciass postmas- ters. It is understood that Mr. Kuichin relied upon Senator Perkins and Senator Spooner of Wisconsin to help him, but Le realizes that if Colonel Otis is appointed Assistant Secretary of War his chances will be slender. Mr. Mosher is willing to accept a position of lesser importance. THE CALL cofrespondent was relinbly in- formed to-day that Frank P. Flint of Pasadena will bz recommended by the delegation for appointment as United States District Attorney tosucceed George Denie, and that A. W. Francisco will be made Collector of the Portat San Pedro. The delegation has also decidea to ask the President to appoint Choplain Ames (now at San Quentin) as chaplain in she United States army. It seéems to be the general impression here that Colonel John P. Irish will be al- lowed to hold on to the naval office in con- sideration of the vaiuable service he ren- dered the Republican party in the late campaign. Senator Perkins will try and get this place for “‘Billy” Hamilton, but the latter may have to apply for some- thing else. The delegation, including Major Mc- Laughlin, Colonel Otis and Mr. Hamilton, will call upon the President to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock, Later in the day Senators Perkins and White and Colonel Otis will see the President in the interest of Judge De Haven for United States Judge. It is the general impression that Judge McKenna will favor United States District Julge W. W. Morrow for the cir- cuit bench, and tuat President McKinley will be asked to nominate De Haven for District Judge. Colonel H. I. Kowaliski is here, but if he is & candidate for anv office he bas kept it uiet. Major McLaughiin, Judge De Laven and Mr.JHamilton are at Willard’s; Joe Spear-is at the Shoreham, George Stone is at the Congressional, Colonel Oits is uopp‘ig with his brother on I street and Mr. Kowalsk: is at the Arlingvon. THE CALL correspondent was told to- night that ex-Representative W. W. Bow- ers will probably be appointed Collector of the Port of San Diego.’ : Major McLaugnlin adheres rigidly to his determination not to_apply for any offi ce nor to accept any. He believes that the appointment of Julius Jacobs as Sub- ‘reasurer will greatly please the Hebrew people of California. At to-dav’s meeting of 4 Major McLaughlin urged that prompt action be tauken, and tnat ail of the polntments be filled as soon as possible 80 that the applicants will no: be keptina state of suspense. Major McLaughiin as well as others who were present atthe caucus to-day declared that all of the rec- ommendations made will be from the standpoint of party welfare rather than individual preferenc bR King George, Grateful.

George says: “In our struggle for humanity, faith and liberty nothing could be dearer to our hearts than such expressions of goodwill from those who encourage our feelings.” STRIKING AGAINST CUT WAGES. Between Three and Four Thousand Men Are Expected to Go Out at Chicago To-Day. CHICAGO, ILL, March 7.—To-morrow morning a strike involving between 3000 and 4000 men will be inaugurated in this city. Nearly 1500 piasterers and hod- carriers, who had been ordered to strike at the close of work yesterday, have quit with a determination not to return to work until the old wage scale is restored. To-morrow it is expected that many of the allied trades will sustain the men in a general strike to fight the wage cut, and it is argued by labor leaders that the em- ployers will not attempt to resist a com- bined movement and will retract their demands for a cut in wages. It was thought that the movemént might be'op- posed at a general meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor held this afternoon, but no action was taken in regard to the strike beyond thes passage of resolutions axpressing sympathy with the strikers. Meetings were held last night by the striking plasterers and the hod-carriers’ council, and the action taken by the exe- cutive board in ordering the strike in- dorsed. The electrical mechanics and bicycle workers have pledged their sup- port to the strikers, as has also the Car- penters’ District Council. Concessions bave already been made by employers in several® cases, and the work on certain contragts will he continued to-morrow. | Some Yhink thal a settlement will be | speedily made.

It wasknown that the call to arms addressed to Greeks would be read at the services. At the hour for the services the priest read the message of Krouzes, Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, as follows: Reserves belonging to classes of 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1870, 1871, 1872 and 1873 are called to their standards. The only ones ex- empted from militarry service are those be- longing to the auxiliary corps and they are exempt by law. Notify all the Hellenes within your jurisdiction to present them- selves as soon as possible, and please com- municate the contents of this dispatch to all Greek Consular authorities in the United States. Recommend them to induce the re- serves to return to Greece. Minister Botassi has issued a proclama- tion to his fellow-countrymen and it has been posted everywhere that Greeks are likely to see it. It is as follows: In the name of King George I wish to offi- cialiy notify all the reserves of the Grecian army who are n this country that their fatherland calls them back to itsranks. And to all Greeks, whether they have fought in by- gone days or whether they have not, I say, in the name of my king, ¢ Your country needs S PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 7.—A company of Greeks assembled to-day and earnestly talked over the situation. Every one agreed that King George had adopted the proper course. Many Greeks were eager to o back and join the army, but most of the men in the classes referred to are unable to pay their passage. When the official order from the Greek Foreiga Minister was received here a meeting of the Greeks was calied to devise ways and means by which those whose presence in Greece is compulsory can be sent back.

A serious blockade is on in South Dakota. No trains have been mov- ing to Watertown, Huron, Milbank and other points for the past twenty-four hours. Members of the South Dakota Legisiatuze, which adjourned at Piefre on Friday, have been unable to leave that place owing to the blockade. General Superintendent Russell Harding of the Great Northern has just come in from North Dakota and says: “Ithink I would be very conservative indeed to estimate the snow as being three feet on the level of the plains. It is prob- ably nearer four feet on the level, and telegrams received this afternoon indicate another snowstorm.” Asked concerning the snow in the mountains Mr. Hirding said it had sur- passed all previous records. In many places it was far over the tops of the telegraph-poles and eo deep that the rotary plows could do little better than cut a tunnel rather than a swath. There is so much enow on the.ground that there is grave fears of floods both in the Mis: eippi and Red River valleys.

LOCAL GREEKS RESPOND One Hundred ani Fifty Ready ‘to Retarn and Fight Against Turkey. All Ov r the United States Sutj:cts Promptly Voluntesr to Ail Kiaz G:orge. From the Atlantic to the Paafic the Greek residents of this continent are in- spired by one all-powerful desire, and that is to respond without delay to their coun- try’s appeal for the assistance of her sons whether at home or abroad. Nowhere, perhaps, are the Greeks more eager 1o obey the call than in this City, though as stated in yesteraay’s issue a dearth of ready money prevents the ma- jority from immediately returning to their native land. But the lesding members of the colony, in the persons of M. D. Vanvales, . Vrettos, Demetrak, Damiara- kis, Fundas, the brothers Demetriadis and Kosta, as well as the Hellenic Society as a whole, are determined to overcome this seeming obstacle with as little delay as possible, and the fact that yesterday was Sunday did not deter them from taking energetic action. Early in the afternoon Messrs. Vrettos and Fundas called upon August Gous- tiaux, the acting Greek Consul at this vort, and after a brief consultation between these gentlemen it was determined tocom- municate with Hon. D. N. Bota: the Greek Consul-General at New York, and inform him of the situa:ion in this City. Vrettos, who is 8 member of the Grecian army reserve and a recognized leader of the local patriotic movement, stated au- thoritatively that, in the event of trans- nortation being provided. at least 150 of his countrymen in San Francisco would i in the recruits who are hastening to New York from all parts of the United States. Acting Consul Goustiaux fully coincided with the suggestions of Vrettos and Fun- das, and ten minutes later the following laconic but signiticant message was speed- ing along the wires to the Consul-General at New York: f Hon. D. N. Bottassi,Greek Consul-General, New York: About 150 Greeks intend to return. What do you advise? AUGUST GOUSTIAUX, Acting Consul. Vrettos feels contident that the Consul- General will lose no time in arranging with the railway companies to transport the recruits to New York at special rates, and that it sufficient funds cannot be raised locally the home Government will see fit 1o defray part at least of the ex- pense. Ifthe assistance of the Greeks in this country is worth having at all it is certainly worth paying for, and there is no logical reason to doubt that the home Government is prepared for a contingency of this nature. The excitement among the Greeks in this City is now raised to fever heat. Vrettos, himself a man of massive propor- tions, weighing 265 pounds, and like most persons of his avoirdupois ordinarily rather phlegmatic, found it difficult to express his feeiings. ** Already,” said he, ‘‘the Greeks in New York have started to- leave for Greece and we chafe at the unavoidabl delay here. The Greek paper, Atiantis, helped to defray the cost of transporta- tion by raising a special fund of $1000. Unfortunately our countrymen here are comparatively poor and we are likely to experience some difficulty in paying for our own passage. But I am satisfied that the ‘Consul-General will act immediafely, because the number of recruits availabie all over the West will certainly make 1t worth his while to do so. We were pretty well excited before, but a direct appeal from our king has aroused us to a piteh of enthusiasm which no temporary diffisul- ties ean quell.” Acting Consul Gonstiaux has occupied that position since 1894, when the former Consul, Paviides, left San Francisco. Mr. Goustiaux is a Frenchman by birth, but is none the less ardentiy in symvathy with the cause of the Greek and Oretan patriots. “I have just been reading THE Carp,” he said yesterday, “and am greatly inter- este : in the news that the Consul-General is communicating with the Greek Consuls in every part of America. As yet, how- ever, I have not received any instructions from headquarters. “Necesearily, I am strongly in sympathy with the Greeks in their projected strug- ele against Turkey and would like to see Greece and Crete united.

At the same time itis quite evident that tha people lhemselvu!Y in every part of Kurope would welcome the union of Greece and Crete. “The various governments, however, find themsetves in an awkward position. Should war ensue and the Turks be driven from Earope, an attempt will doubtless be made by one or other of the powers (o seize a nortion if not all of Tur- key for itself. Now if the powers as a whole do not protest against a war which bids fair to hasten the parti- tion of Turkey, they can hardly logi- ally protest at a future stage of the game. They must put themselves on record so to speak. So they now feel called upon to protest againstthe projected annexation of Crete by Greece. Perhaps, too, it is feared that the annexa- tion of Crete wouid indirecily tend to con- firn the English occupation of Egypt, which at present is tacitly agreed to by the powers. “Qf course these are merely my own individual opinions. I have no other sources of information than the general public who read tha daily pepers.” Mer.
