She was thus practically the | successor of the Mexico, and both ves- sels shared the same misfortune. Since the Corona made her first run on No- vember 6 she made five round trips and was on her sixth trip north when lost. | | | The Corona was built in 1888 at Phil- | adelphia for Neafie & Levy at a cost of about $200,000. In that same year | she was purchased by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, and brought around to the Pacific Coast. For a number of years she was oper- ated between 1 Francisco and San Diego. Last year she made one trip to Alaska, but the remainder of the time she w: in the California service. The dimensions of the Corona were as follows:, Length over all, 230 feet; beam, 34 feet 6 inches; registered ton- nage, 1492 gross, 966 net; schooner rig, steel, 38 staterooms, 114 berths; could carry 220 passengel She had triple expansion engines, 1440 horsepower, four marine boilers, eight furnaces. Her average speed was twelve knots. She w valued at $175,000 and was well insured. | Had the Corona returned safely from | her last trip it was the intention to | send her south and put the large| steamer Queen on the Alaska run. | This makes the third steamship lost | between Seattle and Juneau, Alaska. | The first to go down was the Wiilapa, | on March 9, 1897, and the Mexico was lost on Augu: The following is st of the Corona's passengers, booked at Seattle and Ta- | coma | Seattle—M.

That the amount of such sums to be added to the true estimate were the fol- lowing items: One hundred thousand dol- | lars added increase for the pipes (no rea- | son given by him for this increase), $20,- | 000 added to the Bellevue reservoir (rea- son given for increase was the strategic | locatlon of such reservoir). | That the following are some of the in- | creased valuations: | Forty-four iron pipe from $40,%1 to $51,- | increase $12.228.

Brick-lined tunnel, from $64,000 to $70,- 0%; Increase $6000. Mulholland himself stated to the undersigned in March, 1897, that this work originaily cost $63,000. That various other items raised in- creased the sum total, as above stated, to about $186,000. That in addition to these figures, an additional 15 per cent of the sum total, equaling $187,453, was to be, added for so-called contingencies, engi- neer's fees, etc., although the estimates included already the sum of $18,189 for such incidentals; and that the sum total of such increase would have amounted to $373455 over and above the true esti- mated value of the plant, ’ That the undersigned at that time 74 strenuously objected to such Increase of | the valuation. That on the following day City Engl- neer Dockweiler and ex-City Engineer Eaton visited the undersigned at his of- fice in the California Bank building, and | service should not | against it. in the presence of an employe reread the estimate and figured with him over an additional increase of the estimate, nota- bly an addition of 15 per cent for contin- | genc should be added to the whole; | that upon their invitation their meeting | was transferred to the residence of Mr. | Eaton at Santa Monica, where another | reconsideration of the estimated figures was urged as late as 12 p. m. i That finally, on the following day, July | 1897, in the undersigned’s office, and under the pressure of City BEngineer Dockweller and ex-City Engineer Eaton, | the final estimate was sed from $1,063, 69 to $1,190 , of which amount $103485 was for contingencies and $23,48¢ for var- fous other incre s, making a total in- crease of $12696 over and above the | original and correct estimate. | That the report was finally submitted in this form to the Council on.July 25, 187.

Rescued Near Mammoth Tank When Death Is Near. Lost on the Desert, They Had Given Up the Battle for Life. JUST IN TIME. { | | Before Another Sun-Up Death Would | Have Claimed Each Member of the Little Party. i Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28.—One of the most heartrending discoveries ever made on the desert, which has fur- nished many tragedies ere this, was that last night at Mammoth Tank, on the Southern Pacific’s line, about fifty miles northwest of Yuma, in San Die- go County. E. Adolph of this city, liv- ing at 415 North Broadway, was visit- ing his friend, L. S. Putnam, who is stationed at Mammoth Tank as agent of the Norton Drake Company. Put- nam had in charge a carload of provi- sions, which he was delivering to the men employved at that point. He and Adolph were surprised to see at a short distance from the camp a little bonfire on the mesa, not a hundred vards from the railroad tracks. As that point is entirely deserted, except by the section hands, the gentlemen concluded to investigate. They could think of no explanation for the pres- ence so near by of travelers who had vet not ventured to come into camp, unless it was that the fire-builders were Indians, so they picked up their rifles and proceeded te reconnoiter. Their horror can be imagined when they came upon six human beings, nearly naked, emaciated, swollen with the frightful blackswelling of agoniz- ing thirst, and almost frozen in the pitiless desert night. They were a mid- die-aged man and five small children, one a baby of 3 vears, and the eldest only 12. The baby’'s condition was too pitiful for words, and Adolph in de- scribing the scene was overpowered by the recollection. The two men, recognizing the neces- sity for instant action, if the lives of the poor creatures were to be saved, ran at once for water and blankets. The most urgent need was to relievethe | raging thirst, though the entire six were on the verge of starvation as well. | Their faces and tongues were so swoll- en- that it seemed as if they were al- | ready hevond the reach of restoratives. | Suffice to say, however, that the two | men ran to camp and quickly returned with a squad of aroused workmen, car- rying food, clothing and blankets. Aft- er satisfyving their thirst, as far ase it was safe to do so, a little food was | given to the sufferers. The man and | boys were clothed, the maimed and swollen feet were cared for, and every- | thing done that could be done under the circumstances. When he had recovered sufficiently to | talk, Joyce—for that is the name of the unfortunate man—related to Adolph and Putnam the following remarkable | story: | La)st fall Joyce was living in Pres- cott, Arizona, with his wife and chil- | dren. The wife was an invalid. After| a long illness Mrs. Joyce died, and | when the funeral was over Joyce found himself left with five small boys with- out employment, and at his wits’ ends. His wife’s illness had necessitated his presence at her side, and he was obliged to quit work for that purpoe. The funeral expenses consumed his last dollar. He left Prescott in a wagon in No- vember, after the death of his wife. The horses gave out and died near Gila Bend, and from that point he and the | little ones walked 315 miles to Mam- | moth Tank. There the father finally gave out completely, and the little party would surely have perished if they had not been discovered that night—the morn- ing would have been too late.

MARYSVILLE, Jan. 28.—An opinion was handed down by the Supreme Court yesterday in a case entitled Irwin vs. the County of Yuba, wherein it was sought to recover money expended by the plain- tiff, acting as a ‘committee from the Board of Supervisors of Yuba County, in attending meetings of the State Anti- Debris Association, held monthly at Sac- ramento.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call LONDON, Jan. 28.—It is announced in a special dispatch from Shanghai, recelved here to-day, that four German sallors have been murdered by the Chinese at Chefu. A special dispatch from Shanghai says the German ad- miral threatens to take measures. According to a special dispatch from Shanghai, Sung, the Chinese com- mander at Port Arthur, recently in- formed Captain Chichester of the British ship Immortalite that the Rus- sian warships had the Tsung 1i Ya- men’'s special permission to remain there. Captain Chichester thereupon insisted that Sung should obtain by telegraph similar permission for the Immortalite. Sung complied with the demand and permission was granted. The Daily Chronicle this morning says the Far Eastern situation was discussed between the Marquis of Sal- isbury and United States Embassador Hay before the latter started for Egypt. The Daily Chronicle understands that the prospect of an English loan to China is very favorable. The Peking correspondent of the The French attitude has undergone a sudden change, and now appears to give a reluctant support to the menacing language of the Russian agent, M. Pavloff, Charge d'Affaires at Peking, against the opening of Talien- Wan. The Chinese, having made in- quiries, disbelieve Pavloff’s statement that Russia can provide a loan on the same financial terms as Great Britain. At the meeting of the Grand Council Thursday night the Chinese decided to approach the English and Russian Governments with a proposal of com- promise, each power to provide half of the loan on its own financial terms and | the other conditions to be adjusted be- | tween them. SHANGHAIL Jan. 28.—A dispatch from Chefu to the of Shang- | hai gives details of the assassination of a German sailor named Schultz, be- | longing to the cruiser Kaiser, while on | outpost duty at Tsimo, the extreme | German post of Kiaochau Bay.. The | crime, which was committed by the Chinese rabble on Monday night last | was not discovered until three men of the corporal’s guard were making the | rounds in order to relieve the sen- | tries. Then Schultz was found, his | head having been severed from his body. The relieving guard was ai- rectly afterward attacked by a hun- dred natives, and after a stubborn | fight, it is reported that all the sailors | were killed. Twelve Chinese were| killed during the fighting. | It is added that, in consequence of | the outrage, the greatest excitement | prevalls at Kiaochau, and it is believed | the incident will form the basis of | further German demands upon China. BERLIN, Jan. 28.—The German Gov- | ernment has no news concerning the| detalls of the assassination of the Ger- man sailor Schultz, announced by the Mercury of Shanghai. Book Publishing Company to Be Paid. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The bill to pay the book publishing company of the Methodist Episcopal Church South $288,- | 000 for damages sustained by that cor- poration during the war, after encoun- | tering an obstinate filibustering which | staved off a vote on two previous private | bills days was piloted to its passage in | the House to-day by Cooper of Texas, who is in charge of the measure. The | themseives in an overwhelming majority, and the opposition to-day finding it could not hold out no longer reluctantly yielded. The | vote on the bill was 188 to 67. Those who participated in the debate were: In favor of it—Dinsmore (D.) of | Arkansas, Dolliver (R.) of Iowa, Dock- | ery (D.) of Missouri, S8ims (D.) of Ten- nessee, Mahon (R.) of Pennsylvania, Sul- livan (D.) of Mississippi, Torry (D.) of Arkansas, Gains (D.) of Tennessee and Grosvenor (R.) of Ohlo. In opposition to Iit—Dalzell (R, of Pennsylvania, Hepburn (R.) of Iowa, MMcEwan (R.) of New Jersey, Dingiey (R’.) of Maine and Connelly (R.) of Illi- nois.

Ad- | ditlonal sympathy was enlisted in the case from the fact that young Aran- gueren's sister was recently wedded to Surgeon Guitarez of the United States Marine Hospital service. The father | added that he had been expecting such news, and dreaded that some disaster had befallen his son ever since he held up a train between Havana and Ma- tanzas, from which several Spanish of- ficers were captured. pecial order: he said, had been issued by the Ha- vana authorities to capture the young insurgent and bring him dead or alive to Havana, and he was advised that plans to that end were constantly be- ing devised. The efforts, he continued, were renewed after the execution of General Blanco's envoy, Colonel Ruiz, and a reward had been offered for his head. Warnings had been repeatedly sent to young Arangueren. On one occa- sfon Senorita Isabel Giralt, his flan- cee, was dispatched on this perilous mission. Knowing the strong feeling aroused by the summary executicn of Colonel Ruiz and that the determina- tion of the Spanish officials to effect his capture was favored by the level coun. try in which his operations were con ducted, he was advised to seek a tem- porary refuge with. his limited com- mand among the mountains in the east- ern provinces. Arangueren’s only re. ply tc all these warnings was that he was aware of the Spanish plans, and resigned to whatever end was in store. It is generally believed here that the young general’s younger brother, Be- nito, now a captain, will be assigned to his command. A dispatch received last night by Dr. Giuteras from Consul-General Lee re- moves the last hope cherished by Aran- | gueren’s parents that the report of his death was untrue. General Lee says the body brought to Havana for iden- tification is that of the insurgent gen- eral. He is doing his utmost to obtain the consent of the Havana authorities to give the body burial, as requested. PRIZE-WINNING CANINES.

Instructed by New York Yachtsmen to Look Over the Latest Racing Craft in Europe. Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Jan. 28.—A Providence spe- cial says: C. Oliver Iselin, of Defender fame, left here for Europe this week on a mysterious mission looking to the fu- ture protection of the America cup. He goes abroad as the active head of a | syndicate as powerful as that which paid for the last international race, and he also officially represents the | New York Yacht Club. There is a sud- | den and unusual stir among the big- | gest yachtsmen of the country in this| direction. Just what the movement means, no | one outside of the executive officers of | the New York Yacht Club and three | gentlemen, including Mr. Iselin, knew. | They have worked quietly and secret- ly, and Iselin is going about with a | good deal of caution. Twice this month | he has been a visitor to Bristol, and | January 15 he was at the Herresheff | boat-building yards, in the bay side town, for half a day. He had a long and serious talk with Captain “Nat” Herresheff, and when Iselin left it was | with the understanding that he should visit Europe immediately for the pur- pose of looking over the latest things in racing yachts on the other side. Mr. | Iselin had more than one object in vis- iting Bristol. The chief one. however, | was to ascertain the exact condition of things at the Herresheff shops, and | to learn from “Nat” Herresheff per- | sonally if the firm could put up another with all the latest ideas in racing ma- chinery.
