SEATTLE, Nov. 14.—On Tunesday morn- ing at 10 o’clock Captain Tuttle expects to | start with the revenue cutter Bear for | Quartermasier Harbor, which is located on Vashon Island, about three hours’ run | distant from Beattle. There the cutter will go on the drydock, have the grass | scraped from her sides and a coat of paint Unless her propaller needs alter- | ing, which is not likely, the Bear will re- turn to Seattle on Wednesday. Whileab- | sent from this city communication will be had with Captain Tuttle by meansof a | Government launeh, which Captain To- zier will send from | applied. Port Townsend. It | will act as a tender to convey telegrams and otner information to the commander of the Bear. To-morrow Captain Tuttle will forward to Assistant Sacretary Howell the approx- imate cost of provisions necessary for ibe overland expedition which hopes to take relief to the imprisoned whalers. No or- ders or other communications have been received to-day from the department at | Washington. New sails are being made f r the cutter and repairs are progressing satisfactorily. The force of mechanics were busily em- ployed to-day and expect to complete the necessary repairs to machinery in a few days. In the opinion of oneof the licutenants who will go north on the Bear, two sur- geons should be attached to th vessel on this spectal ernise. Speaking on the sub- ject to-day to THE CALL correspondent he said: “There is nodonbt but that the poor un- fortunate whalers will be sadly in need of medical aid. In fact some may even now be dying for want of that medical and sur- gical knowledge that the captain of a whale ship cannot be expected (0 possess. ltappears that the expedition over the ice must be accompanied by a doctor. At the same time, it wou!d be unwise to detach for thiscuty the only medical man al- lowed for the vessel. “He would, 1f necessary, be gone for many days, even months, and might not be able to rejoin the vessel until she made her appearance in the Arctic Ocean in July or Angusi. Then some of the crew 0! the Bear might be in as hopeless a con- dition as those for whom they are vol- untarily goinginto unknown dangers. It wou'd seem that the Bear should carry two surgeons, one for the ship and one who would go prepared to take the thousand-mile trip over the ice.” The report that comes :rom Callfornia that Captain Tuttie would in ali proba- bility be unable to command the Bear on its expedition nortn, owing to_1ll health, is entirely without reason.

ENGINEERS AS LINE OFFICERS. Will Be Expected to Taks the Deck When the Occasion Dem :nds. FULLER AUTHORITY FOR MACHINISTS. Their Standing to Be Materially Advanced by ths Proposad Chang-=s. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. CavLr OFFick, R16Gs HoOusg,) ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. | Iiis pretty well u dersiood here now that the naval personnel board will rec- ommend that the older engineers who are not graduates of the naval aca: emy wil be require to perform engineering duties only. The engineer graduates who ene tered as engineers will be given the option of qualifying us line officers or of continu- ing to perform engineering duties solely; the younger engineers, ali of whom en- tered as naval cad ts, will probably be transferred, with the requirement thai after a reasonable time they snall fit themselves for all duties, both as line officers ana engineeis, and the younger line officers of corresponding aate will be required to fit themselves for the perform- ance of engineering duties in addition to those they now perform. In all probability if any change is made in the marine corps it will consist in its complete absorption into the line, as has be-n proposed for the engineers, while with the pay corps the change would probably consist in not making any more apponiments from civil life, but, as va- cancies occurred at the lower end, trans- ferring these numbers 1o to the line and then detailing line cflicers for the perform- ance of duty as paymas ers. The object of this latter scheme 1s stated by prom- inent1ne officers to be not any desire to abolish the pay corps, but to secure an ad- ditional officer on the ship qualinied to command a division ot men in connection with the guns or powder division. It is clzimed by leading line officers who recently served in comman of large ships that the number ot line officers is insuffi- cient for propeiiy performing battle ser- vice in (ime of war. As they put it, the primary object of the navy i1s to enable ships to fight, and they feel that every- thing eise suould be subordinated to se- curing efliciency in that respect. The avsorption of the engineer corns by the line, which seems now well assured, mean~ that ail officers lor a certain num- ter of years will be expected io be equaily proficcent in the duties ot line us well as engineer officers. In other words, engi- neers are to take the deck, and assuch wii for the time be virtuaily in charge of the ship. Line men below a certain num- ber are to take the engine-room and serve on watch. The duties under the pres nt schems will be interchangeable and a line officer wili not only be expecied to conduct the movements of the ~hip from the deck, but equalily b prepared 10 answer bells from tue bridge. There is a further proposition that the machinists of the navy, who are now des- ignated as enlisted men, shall be aliowed fuller auihority in running the engines their duties 1o be increased and their vowers correspondingly., Tue standing of this type, 1i other words, is 10 be mate- riaily advanced. Tne *'old navy” machinists while not periorming servic: as arduocus or perhaps requiring as muca 1ntellirence, neverthe- less were clothed with vaster responsibili- ties, and under the present propositions it isintended ihat the work of this class shall be advanced so faras the responsi- bility is concerned. The «ffect of this may b to hignten the duties sumewhat of the officers in the engine-room. It may in tim- create a mechanical forcs in the engineers department caliing for bizher pay and better treatment from the Gov- ernment. SOLDIERY N A SAD 00N Continued from First Page. - Spain’s ill troops. Innotone of the many hospitals in Havana, for example, is there any availzble peds. Ou Novemver 6 the military governor of this city received a message to the effect thai 500 ill and wounded soldiers wera on their way to Havana by the Mantanzas railroad. He communicated this fact to the hospital authorities, only to receive the reply that it was absolutely impossible to receive an- other man. The military commander in Guines re- ports hat patients in the military hospital there are entirely without medicines and other necessaries, and that the food sup- ply is entirely inadequate. The smali hospital tund, he states, is long since ex- pended and large amounts are owing to shopkeepers. Proprietors of stores have notified the hospital authorities that they will not furnish any more goods on credit. In other towns the condition of aftairs is simlar. Asindicative of the growing feeling in Havana against the United States I am able to state that the chiet of the volun- teer fire brizade in this city on Friday dis- missed from the ranks two naturalized American citizens. The'e two men were Cuban born, but hold naturalization papers. The only reason the chiel save for his action was that he did not wish any element in the ranks that might prove iroublesome in the future. The Gaz-tte will publi-h to-morrow edict of the Governor-General with re pect to the supply of food to reconcentrado: | from and the treatment of those discharged as cured from the hospitals, This will state that it is impossible to annul at once the edict of concentration, as most of those affected by it are homeless and destitute of ali means of livelihood, so that their condition would be made worse by an im- mediate annuiment, It is therefore nece= sary, the edict will declare, to proceed with great care. Those having property Will be at liberty to return to the country districts after obtaining permiis from the local authorities, Property-owners will be at liberty to vrovide themselves with the means of de- fense and to use the revolver and the machete to pr tect themseives, provided they haa previously obtained a license, Such reconcenirados are as sbsolutely destitute will remain in the towns under tlie pro ection of local bureaus of charity, assisted by a Siate fund, A junta of assistance will be formed at once with the branches in the principal towns under the direction of prominent people, and *'full rrotection will be extended to insurgents who surrender.” Consul-General Fitzhugh Lee and Wal- ter B Barker, Unjted Staies Consul at Sa- eua La Grande, arrived this afternoon. They were welcomed by consular officers of this city and a large company of friends. The insurgentsdynamited a train onthe line to Sanct: Spiritus. Several cars were demolisned,but only two persons were in- jured. The insurgents attempted to enter the tovn of San Juan Yens, province of Santa Ciara, They surc ded in reacaing the outskirts, but, according to the official ac- count, the garrison repelied thew kiliing eight. Several of the inhatitants were wounded. HUGGED BY 4N AiWACONDA. Watchman in a Museum Badly njured and a Pony Crushed by the .eptile. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.—A huge anaconds on exhibition in a musuem her« to-day severely injured Samuel Masher, the museum watchman, and c-ushed to death a valuable trick pony. Tue pony was tied to a teedbox alongside the anaconda’s cage. Mash r saw the rentile, which had worked one of the I oards of 1ts cage loose and had stretched out a short distance. He pushed the board to, believing the anaconda woud puil within its cage acain. Instead it wricgled out and wrapped itsclf several times about Masher. The latter screamed for help and the pony, frighten-d by the big reptile, began jumping avout. Tuis saved Masher’s life, for the reptile unwound itself from him and completely enci'cled the pony. Masher iell to the floor unconscious. When a number of the employes reac ed the scene the snake began io unawind itself and appeared to be petting readyv for the fight. The men kep. aloof until a lasso had been obtained and the snake finally made secure. Sev- eral of Masuer’s ribs were broken and he was taken to a hospital. SWEPT 10 DEATH BY AN AVALANCES Oakland Man Buried Under a Monster Mass of Silding Snow. Joe McCribban Loses His Life In the Mountains N :ar Sandon Min- ing Camp. Speclal Disnatch to THE CALL SANDON. B. €., Nov. 14,—Joe McCrib- ben of Oak'and lies buried under 100 feet of snow on the hillside near the Red Fox mine, and it may be months before his body is recovered. His parents, who live in Oakland, were notified to-day of the accident. Last evening McCribben with a com- panion was sent up the hill to the mine, located at the apex of the Noble Five range, to commence work on the night shift in a shaft that is being sunk. They were making their way up the steep trail when their movements displaced the snow at their altiiude and started an avalanche above. Untimbered and bare, the mountanside offered no obstruction to the ever increasing mass of snow. With nothing to grasp, they were swept down, The avalanche gathered power until it was rushing at a iremendous rate, carry- ing tons of snow. McCribbin was caught first and carried under the surface. His companion was hurled agusinst tbe build- ings at the Red Fox mine, not far from where he was when the sllde started. Upon recovering, he crawled into the tun- nel and remained there, half dead, all nmight. In the morning he came tc camp with the story. The avalanche had rushed to the bottom of the valiey and part way up the other side. 1In its'path, near the bottom of the valley, was tue blacksmith shop of the Silver Bell mine. Not a vestige of it re- mains. The avalanche swept to the doors of the Silver Bell offices, 200 feet up on the otherside irom the vottom of the valley. No attempt has yet been made to re- cover the body of MeCribben, it b it ATTEMPTS TO St1EAL A STREET. Scheme of u Motor Railway Company Frustrated by Los Angeles’ Kayor. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14.—Mayor Snyder, with a small army of policemen at his back, int-rcepted an attempt by the Pasadena and Pacific Electric Railway Company to lay a track on Octavia street this morning. The company has no franchise covering this street, but for some time the cwners of the road have been en- deavoring to reach the whoiesale portion of the city without running over portions ol other c. mpanies’ tracks, in order to be able to put on a line ot express-cars, a nnmber of which have already been built and delivered to the company. The fran- chises of the companies do not allow @Xpress-cars to be run over their lines. A line on Octavia street would afford access to the wholesale dis rict. Operations were begun at midnigut wi.h a large force of men, and considerable keadway Lad been made when the Mayor, at the head of his little army of b uecoats, appeared upon the scene. At first it ap- peared a- if there might be war, but the Meyor's firm determination to arrest every man who attemptea to proceed with the work decided the engineer in charge to abandon tke effort.

MINES MAY HAVE TO BE ABANDONED. Flooding Wil Be Done as a Last Resort, but It Wi.l Cause A'l Work to Cease. Special Dispatch to T HE CALL. DENVER, Nov. 14—A special to the Rocky Mountain News irom Aspen, Colo., says: The timbers in the lower workings ol the Smuggler mine are on fire, and not- withstanding strenuous efforts bave been made all day to check the fire it seems to be gaining headway. The damagecannot b estimated at this time, owing to the far-reaching nature of the disaster. The workmen in the Smuggler and Moliie Gibson began to inhale an obnox- 10us gas about 1 o’clock this morning and tmmediately began a search for its source. Three hours later it was discovered that the large crib running between the eighth and fiftn levels of that mine was on fire, and within a short time the workings of the Molli- Gibson and the Smuggler above the 800-foot point were so impreg- nated with the fumes that the miners were driven out. The Mouie Gibson people then at- tempted to get in the bulkheads in their connection between the two properties. The air was so foul tha. twenty-five men were overcome, and for a time it was thought that wholesale fatalities had re- sulted. At one time twelive unconscious men were pulled from the mine and siretched upon the shafthouse floor. It required the utmost efforts of physicians and oiher- for over ha t an hour to bring these men around. Ed Hcdgson, a Motlie employe, became so dazed that he waiked | into a chuie, sustaining severe though not fatal injuries. aboul 8 u’clock that the Moliie was aban- doned. In fact, aimost sll the men were unconscious or partially so. The pump m n abandoned their pumps and left the mine to drown. Learning of this, Master Mechanic Car- sons cf the Smuugler crept turough the connection and started them up again. This gave the Mollie people new life ana they again tackled the bulkheads and succeeded in getting them 1n. Some twenty-five men were overcome at the Smuggler ia an attempt to b.lknead in the fire. Speakingz of the si:uation, Manager Hal- lett of the Smuggler siated that it was most serious, “'In fact,”’ said he, ‘‘there are just two chancs of saving the mine. Oneis that our steam connection irom below will prove successfnl, and the other is that the timvers will burn away sufficiently to make an enormous cave-in and thus smother the flames.” Asked rezarding the possibility of hav- ing to fluod the mine, Mr. Hatlett stated that such a course wou.d be a lasi resort. In the event of having to flood the mine, it will shut down every mine in the camp.

The jail is a substantial stone struc- ture and was in charge of Deputy Sheriff Thomas Kellv. .Since the confinement of the prisoners there so great has been the fear that they might escape in some way that one man has watched the prisoners all night. Last nigbt Kelly was on watch. There was a meeting of a lodge of Woodmen in a buil ting near the jail, and as Kelly was a member he expected to meet some mein- bers oi the lodge after the meeting had adjourned. To whiie away the time dur- ing the night hours he was playing soli- tare in front of the celis in which the mur- derers were confined. About 20'c.ock in the morning there was a rap at the outer door of the jail and Kelly arose quickly and turned the key in the lock, thinking that the persons he expected to meet had arrived, No sooner had he cpened the door than the mob crowded into the corridors. All of them were ma ked and the leaders car- ried ropes. Keliy at once realized that the mob had come after his prisoners. The lynchers were quiet but determined. The leaders presented a revolver at the head ot the Deputy Sheriff anc told him they wanted his prisoners and demanded that be open their celis. Kelly demurred, but saw that resistance was useless and unlocked the door. Two of tha prisoner- were confined together and the other was in a separate cell. They had been arousen from sleep by the entrance of the wouid- be lynchers and sat up half awake and trembiing with terror. Holytrack and Ireland were pullea from their beds, ropes were fastened about their necks and they were dragged out on the ground after being told to prepare for death. The men were then dragrel to a huge beef windlass, which had been erectet 1o susyend the carcasses of slaughtered beeves and strunz un on a crossbram —_—— DIED. KENNY—In this_city.

LEADVILLE, Covo., Nov. 14 —Great in- | terest is manifeste. here in the reported | formation of a smelter trust to regulate the price of smelting ores, etc. One of the | largest mine-managers of this district said to-day to an Associated Press reporter: “The object of this smeiter meeting is known to the mine-owners and mine- managers, and as a result there is a pros- pect of a bitter fight, with the smeiters ar- rayed on one side and the mine managers and owners on the oiher. This fight was virtually startea at Leadville last Wednes- day night at a meeting of mine-owners and mine-managers of tha camp. They thoroughly discussad the question aud de- cided to organ:ze an association to orotect their own interests against the smeliers. “In order to show what the smelters in- tended to do one of the mine managers stated that he had been requested by a smeliter to enter into acontract for the sale of his ore before the trust went into effect. “At this meeting in Leadville we de- cided that a circular shouid be gotten up to be sent toalil of the mine-owners of the West. This circular sets forth the object of the association and also calls for sug- gestons as to the tinie for hoiding a meet- ing of all of the mine-owners. “The mine managers insist that instead of allowing the smeiters to regulate the price that they ouuht io do it themselves, They also object to the smelter getiing the benefit of the low rates and the re- bates from the railroads which, 1t is claimed, that they are now receiving, There 1s certainly a bitter fight in signt.” e m e YELLOW FEVER ABATING, Health Authorities in the South Remove Quarantine Restrictions.
