2 THE SA day it was supposed to be escape proof. | Now its interlor is a mass of ruin It was this portion of the prison that Guard Sullivan attempted to enter at 3:30 o'clock, for the purpose of inspecting the dungeons. The entrance to the corridor leads through double-doors. Outside is an immense iron gate swinzing on beavy hinges imbedded in solid masonry. A few steps furiher there is a big wooden door—a heavy, thick affair of oak —with a small wicket to letin the light, Sullivan, accompanied by Guards Siaven, Connolly and Anderson, proceeded into the corridor. The iron door was closed be- hind them by way of precaution. The | moment the lock was turned in the wooden door Sullivan and his comrades were sur- prised 1o find some of the prisoners in the corridor. The convicts at the same time made a sudden assault on the guards, in hopes of overpowering them and lock- ing them inside. There was a hand to hand scrimmage in the guards’ favor. They hurriedly put | the wooden door bhind them for pro- tecticn, while the convicts proceeded to | fortify themselves. Those who were al- | ready in the corr.dor proceeded to batter down the iron Joors and gratings. Rivets and locks were wrenched from the walls with improvised crowbars, | Soon the whole mo b hed access to the | corridors. The doors of their cells were torn from their hinges by the com- | bined force of many men and with these | a wall of iron was built inside the wooden | gate. Behind the formidable barricade | wes placed a jute sack filled with ball and | | chain. Sullivan, upon gaining the outer door of | the corridor. immediately repcrted the gress of aifairs to Captains Berlem and igar. He returned to the corridor en- | i trance only to discover that it wes but- | tressea wituin with son fur- | niture.

Demands for explanations of their | conduct were answered with a volley of | en Hale, after inspecting the ruins | about him, ordered the men removed to | the celis in the south tankhouse. This wss accomplished without incident, and half an hour later the uaruly convicts | were behind grated bars bellowing their | billingsgate to every officer or guard that | passed within earshot. The dungeons are | 2 mass of ruins. Everything thatit was possible to destroy shared that fate. Even | the walls were burrowed in places. | Bat it was not until complete order was | restored that the prison authorities real- ized just how serious a crisis they had avoided. Thedevastation of the dungeons | attributed to pure malice until some excavations in the floor were discovered. | Guard Sullivan had heard the order to | vaig down” repeate: given inside, as he was atlempting to effect an .entrance to the corridor, and these | excavations added peculiar signifi- | cance to the words. It was the plan of the convicts to dig down through the tioor to the engine-room beneath. Once there the men would have no difficulty in | secreting themselves, providing the ab- ence from the dungeons was not discov- ered. Access to the yard could be effected ; without any aifficuity and tbe cover of | ti.e night hour afforded an obportunity to attempt a general prison break to men made desperate with hunger and the fear | of further dark confinement. The plan might bave succeeded, al- though it is probable that in its execution some of the convicts would have fallen under the builets of the sentries. Hereto- fore there have been only eight guards on duty at night. An attack from behind might have disarmed one, or even two, and the way would then be open to bag the remainder one by one by the holdup system. The prison officials are not| speculating along these lines. Instead, they doubled the number of guards and sentries to-night. The remainder of the prison force is sleeping on their arms, within calling distance. The Gatling guns | are trained directly on the tank cells. The general situation is very grave. The prisoners thus far seem to be masters of the prison, notwithstanding locks and bars. The fires are out in the jutemill, and the police force organized into a re- serve sentry squad. The refractory con- victs are growing bolder and more inso- lent under their severe punishment. Above the walls of the prison there is constantly arising the roar of curses and oaths. The echoes may be heard a mile away. There is hardly a minute in the day when the convicts are not bellowing defiance to their keepers. Outside the prison there is almost as much turmoil. The families of the guards fear that the seething mass of vicious humanity may bresk over its confines. The actions of the sentries’ rifles this afternoon brought the whole population of the town of San Quentin out of their houses. Women and chiidren stood about in terror-stricken groups. They climbed the neighboring hills to see what was going on behind the gray wails of the prison and besieged and waylaid all guards for news. General R. H. Warfield’s presence about the prison in the morning gave rise to a rumor that Warden Hale had invoked the | 2id of the State militia. The story grew as it traveled from mouth to mouth, and the more imagina- tive began to conjure up visions of blood shed and massacre, that would send Stephen Crane to an idiot asylum. But the commander of the militia was not on official business. Warfield has other busi- ness besides commanding citizen soldiers, and this morning he was endeavoring to close a contract with Warden Hale to sup- ply the prison with ice from the San Xafael Hotel. The convicts show no sizn of capitulat- ing. Three days on bread and water, without exercise, has not apparently weakened their spirit, although their lungs are giving out signs of wear and tear, From their places of confinement the mutinous mill-workers are able to peer through the openings in the iron doors and see who passes in the prison-yard. ‘When Captain Edgar or Warden Hale ap- pear in the yard it is a signal for a great outburst and curses rent the air. Itis the same with the other officers, but not quite 8o pronounced. To-night the same howling and pound- | ing was continued as made the night pre- vious so hideous. The guards who had been on duty all day were unable to sleep on account of the confusion, and what | the work without comment. | victs have nothing but concrete floors to | they agree to par ~zatches of slumber they obtained were caught during the intervals when from sheer exhaustion the convicts were forced to remain quiet. The tanks on the top story of the stone building are entirely constructed of iron and in each one eight men are confined. The men grab whatever is within reach and all together they pound upon the big stretch of iron. The result is a deafening noite. This pleases them, and to add to the confusion tney raise their voices in chorus and shout until hoarse. The bread-and-water diet has been cut down. Twice a day the men were given | their allotted portion of bread and water, but now they receive it but oncea day. Less than balf a loaf of bread and a tin of water is their daily fare. They received thisat 11 o’clock to-day. It is not a diet upon which they can grow fat. The strikers are among the mostdes- perate criminals in the prison. Oliver G. Winthrop was already in the dungeon when the mob was brought in to keep bim company. Last night six of the bul- lets from the sentrics’ rifles were found in his pockets. To-night a further punishment was meted out to the rebels. All beds, cloth- ing, stools, candlesticks, tables and fur ture of any kind was removed from the | cells. The conviets watched the progress of The con- | sleep on and their uniform as a covering. As they are packed to the limit of thecu- | bic-air ordinance, they will probably not suffer much discomfort from the cold. Warden Hale finds this sirike a problem much larger than any he bas heretofore been called upon to solve. He is worried and anxious. The origin of the trouble is a matter of conjecture to bim, but on the outside of the prison it issad thatit ha; been brewirg for months. The Board of Prison Directors will probably convene in special session early next week, to consider the situation. One the plans advocated ty Director Wil nsis the transfer of at ieast twenty of the leaders of the strike to Folsom.

The Victim Meets His Slayer With Drawn Knife and Plow-Point. Falls in His Tracks With Five Bul- lets In His Body—Story of a Witness. CHATTANOOGA, Tesw., May 20.—On the borders of the Chickamauga National Park, dedicated to the memory of one ot the bloodlest campaigns of the Civil War, a feud of logg standing ended to-day in a terrible tragedy. Judge Frank Osbourne, a prominent North Georgia farmer and magistrate, and L. J. Barber were the principals, The former, who was the aggressor, fell dead in his tracks with five pistol balls in his body fired by Barber. The meeting wus an accidental ons in a store at Crawfish Springs, the eastern en- trance to the park. Osbourne, spying his old enemy, advanced with a drawn Knife in one hand ard a plow-point in the other. Barber stood a fow moments undecided, until Osbourne flourished the weapons almost in his jace. Then drawing his pis- tol he emptied thé five chambers in rapid succession into his antagonist, who in- stantly fell dead. Barber coolly contemplated his work, then turnin: he walked to tne telegraph station, where he cent two messages, one to the Sheriff at the county seat, telling him what he had done, and 1be other to Coattanooga retaining a lawyer. The Sheriff arrested Barber. As the dead man bad frequently threat- ened Barber’s life the latter went con- stantly armed. Osbourne’s friends are incensed and further bloodshed is prob- able.

Withdraws His Gift of “The Bacchante” From Boston's Public Library. BOSTON, Mass, May 29.—Architect McKim bas withdrawn his gift of the bronze statue of *“The Bacchante” from the Boston public library, and is very in- dignant at the way in which his gift was received. Architect McKim is a man of great wealth and is able to gratify his ar- tistic tastes. When he presented the now famous statue to the Boston library he felt that the gift was one that would greatly add to the attractiveness of the in- stitution, and was gren tly surprised when he learned that the officers of the library were hesitating about accepting the work on the ground that it was of an immoral character. Many months have passed since the of- fer was made to the library, and as it was not formally accepted McKim at last grew tired and has now withdrawn it. He is very outspuken in his opinion of people whose prudery 1s so great that it pre- vents their appreciation of art, and calls attention to the fact that copies of the fa- mous statue are now exhibited in the prin- cipal art galleries of Europe. o ey “Annie” Cunningham Captured.

August Van Bockelin Receivss Injuries in a Race Which, I: Is Thought, Will Prove Fatal. TACOMA, Wasn,, May 20.—What are thought to be fatal injuries were received this afternoon by August Van Bockelin, local L. A. W. consul. while competing with five other wheeimen in a half-mile race on the Tacoma Athletic Club track. He was on the outside, going at s terrific pace, when his bicycle broke at the top of the forks and the front wheel shot ahead. His momentum carried him over head first. His face and neck were torn open and his stomach seems to bs injured. ‘When assistance reached him his face was amass of blood and bruises, and the blood was pouring from a deep wound under the right eye. A :grney’wu called to remove him, but be could rot stand the sitting posture and bad to be laid on the ground while the patrol wagon and a stretcher were sent for. On_these he was removed to the Fanny Paddock Hospital, where doctors are working over him. This evening an investigation shows that the other riders were not responsible for the accideut.

Swan of Berkeley was second. 1 No remarkable jnmping was done dur- | ing the aiternoon.” The highest jump was made by Holman, and the running broad jump by Hart, both Pacific Grove bovs. The latter part of the afternoon was de- | voted to ridiculous events in which the | faculty took rart, 10 make sport for the students. The first of these, a three-legged race, Gifford_and Smith (Stanford) won easily, with Bradley and Brown closelsec- ond. Smith (Stanford) also won the po- tato race, with Michener second. The sack race was hotly contested and was im- | mensely absurd. =~ Swan (Berkelev) sot over the allotted space in the shortest time. The elephant and obsiacle races were the most enjoyed by the large crowd of spectators because of the fun they afforded.
