None of the sailors of the Ter- ror were given shore leave to-day. A boat was sent off for mail, and the pay- master went to the na ard. An or- derly and a couple of bluejackets were halted on their way from their boat to the postoffice at Tompkinsville by a crowd of enthusiastic islanders who shook hands with the tars, presented | tobacco to them and cheered enthusias- tically. The Terror at 1 o’clock moved from er anchorage below Tompkinsville to a point about half a mile north, oppo- site the lighthouse station. Passengers on the Staten Island ferry boat crowded the rail to have a look at the craft sent to guard the city HOLLAND’S SUBMARINE BOAT READY FOR SEA. Naval Officers Try in Vain to Get Aboard of the Rather Mys- terious Craft. NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Men were en- gaged all to-day aboard the Holland submarine boat at Perth Amboy, N. J., making preparations for the final trips of that craft. The boat was constantly surrounded by a crowd of spectator Mr. Holland was anxious to try th t to-day, but there trouble with the steeringappar when it w; remedied it was too late for the trip. The Holland lies in a deep basin surrounded by barges. Her engines are constantly at work, but th only indication of movement is a few bubbles which arise to the surface. By the end of the week the Holland will be ready for service, and early next week the boat will be put in shape for its long run to Washington. The ‘exclusive information given by The Call rding this boat caused several naval officers to visit Perth Amboy, but Mr. Holland firmly refused to allow them to see the workings of the boat Naval Militia Allotments. SHINGTON, Feb. 28—The Navy Department has just completed the al- lotment among the States of the appro- priation of $50,000 made for the assist- ance of the naval militia organizations.

Rochefort Says the Maine Disaster Will Cause the Independence of the Island: Copyrighted, 1595, by James Gordon Bennett. PARIS, Feb. 28.—In the Intransi- geant Henri Rochefort writes: “To really grasp the situation, the explosion on the Maine must be regarded as the first battle between Spain and the United States. As for us, we only see in it the last stage of the advance of the Cubans toward independence. The 1strophe has caused the death of unfortunate sailors, but it has also saved the lives of millions of com- batants, for it insures the final triumph of th insurrection before many weeks.’ PERMIT CURRENCY SHIPMENTS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Horatio Ru- bens, counsel of the Cuban Junta, sald to-day of the reported coming of Senor Cataluna as peace emissary of the Spanish Government: “If he comes here to offer the independence of Cuba he will be listened to, but if that is not his errand he will not even be received by the Cuban Junta.” 22 I\ | good 3 former times had so much trouble in Generals D:dln.n and Guild are to g0 | gealing with State troops that unquali- | before the War Department and state | fied obedience to the United States | tional Guard,” but as militia; and when | WAR SPIRIT OF MILITIA Leaders of the Guardsmen Hold an Important Council. Officers and Enlisted Men Would Gladly Volunteer for Service. Inthe Event of War Ten Million Loyal Citizens Would Shoulder Muskets. Major-General J. H. Dickinson, divi- sion commander of the National Guard of California, Adjutant-General A. W. Barrett and Brigadier-General R. H. Warfield, Second Brigade, held a coun- cil of war yesterday and discussed the military situation. The sentiment of patriotism is very active in the guard, and should war be declared many of the members would ask for immediate duty at the front. General Warfield was asked last evening what proportion of the Na- tional Guard would volunteer for en- listment in the United States service in the event of war with Spain. He replied that he could not give an esti- mate. When asked if 50 per cent would enlist to go out of the State and serve in any field selected by the Govern- ment, he replied: *I have yet to find the first officer or enlisted man who would not willingly go to the front should we have war with Spain.” General Warfield seems to entertain the idea that the troops of the National Guard would be called for at once by General Miles to serve for a period of ninety days while the volunteer regi- ments were being organized. It is his opinion that the occupation of Cuba would be immediate, and that the or- ganized State troops would join the ex- pedition to the island. rious opinions exist as to what the status of the National Guard would be in the event of hostilities with Spa Officers of the United States army gen- erally incline to the opinion that vol- unteer regiments would be organized independently of the National Guard and sworn into the service of the United States. The Government- in now demanded by the terins of enlist- ment. In a digest by the Judge Advocate General of the United States this view is taken: “In the exercise of its con- itutional power ‘to provide for calling forth the militia’ and ‘to provide for organizing’ the same, etc., Congress has made no distinction between any different portions of the force or recog- nized any such portions as ‘Natlonal G rd.” The Unjted States statutes | take no notice of ‘National Guard’ as such. If called out it is not as ‘Na- so called forth or included in a call it must be governed by the existing laws for the organization, discipline, etc., of the militia. The act of February 28, 1895, authorizing the President to call out the militia, is constitutional, and the President is the final judge of the emergency justifying such call.” The President can call on a State Governor for troops. Should the Gov- ernor fail to obey the order the Pres- ident can call on the commander of the State troops next lower in rank and so on down the line until he can get the troops in the field. An officer failing to obey the President may be tried and punished by court-martial. There is no doubt that California would supply her quota of troops im- mediately under a call from the Presi- dent, but it is a question whether the National Guard regiments would go as organizations or new volunteer regi- ments be raised. Colonel Fairbanks, for example, com- mands a National Guard regiment which is the equal of any troops of this class in the United States, but his regiment, the Fifth Infantry, N. G. C., if accepted, would be sworn into the service of the United States, and this would involve the enlistment of each member of the regiment. Col. James F. Smith’'s First Infantry is another excellent regiment, but if its service was accepted the men would be obliged to enlist in the United States volunteer army and be subject to the orders of the Government. National Guards- men, having had military instruction, might obtain preference in enlistment. The militia as recognized by the Gov- ernment consists of every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of 18 and 45 years. Uncle Sam has therefore about ten millions of men able for mili- tary duty. It is not a wild estimate to say that the President could get one million men to voluntarily enlist. After six months of camp instruction, active drill’ and constant care and discipline by fairly capable officers an effective and disciplined force of six hundred thousand men could be evolved. “THERE WILL BE NO WAR,” SAYS REV. DR. TALMAGE. ‘Would Not Give a Hundred Lives of Americans for Cuba, Spain and Hawa BOSTON, Feb. 28.—Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage of Washington, D. C,, lectured at the star course at Tremont Temple to-night. Dr. Talmage began by re- ferring to the thought uppermost in the popular mind, the posibility of war with Spain. He said bluntly: “There will be no war between the United States and Spain. I would not give a hundred lives of Americans for the whole possession of Cuba, Hawaii and Spain. We are to have peace on earth and goodwill to men.” There was great applause. —_— Govin’s Alleged Perfidy. MADRID, Feb. 28.—The Naclonal re- produces a letter written by Senor Go- vin, the Minister of the Interior of Cuba in the Colonial Government, pub- lished in the Filibuster Journal, Patria, and containing alleged instructions given by Senor Govin to Acosta, who is said to be his emissary to negotiate with the Cuban Junta in the United States in regard to the terms which the Cubans should exact from Spain. The unofficial papers comment strongly upon this so-called perfidy of Senor Govin, and say he is bound to de{snd himself against the charges made.

This Gun, Designed by the Army Bureau of Ordnance, Is the Most Powerful Gun in the World. Its Projectile Weighs 2300 Pounds, Its Powder Charge Is Over 1000 Pounds, and Its Extreme Range Will Be Nearly Fifteen Miles, Thus Ex- ceeding by Three Miles the Range of the Jubilee Shot, Fired Ten Years Ago in England. Ar o i il s REGULAR ARMY MEN AND THEIR PLANS FOR WAR SHARPSHOOTERS While the Big Guns for Defense Are Being Placed in Position the Troops Are Mustered and Inspected. It is readily recognized by the army | tests of Santa Cruz powder have been that the Government is making prep- arations for war. These preparations may be the surest guarantee of peace, but the fact is nq longer questioned that the vigilance and activity at ali the garrisons signi purpose on the part of the War Department to be ready for battle. Yesterday all the troops in the De- partment of California were mustered for the regular monthly inspection. The troops of the Third Artillery, | Fourth Cavalry and First Infantry, | stationed at the Presidio, turned out in fine order. Owing to‘the moist con- dition of the ground early in the morn- ing there was no review, but every- thing pertaining to the different com- mands proved to be in good order. The first of the two 10-inch rifies | mentioned in The Call as having re- cently arrived from the East reached Fort Point emplacement Sunday even- ing. The contractor encountered many obstacles in hauling the gun from the freight yards of the Southern Pacific to the Lombard street gate of the Pre- sidio reservation. After reaching the reserve few difficulties were in the way. The haul up the hill on the way from the garrison proper to the works did not cause much delay. The second gun, which aiso weighs thirty-four | tons, will be delivered at Fort Point in due time. Troops have been detailed from the Third Artillery to mount these guns and hasten the work on the new mor- tar battery. It was the old custom in the army for the Ordnance Corps to | hire civilian labor to mount guns, but | of recent years the regular troops have been called on to perform this dut; The works are planned and construct- ed under the direction of the Engineer Corps, and when completed are turned | over to the Ordnance Corps. When the | carriages are put in and the ' guns mounted and tested theOrdnance Corps transfers everything to the command- er of the post. There are many citizens of San Fran- cisco, well informed on general sub- jects, who insist that the land defenses of this harbor consist of a few un- mounted guns and that the big mod- ern rifles are not in position for imme- diate use. The Call not long since pub- lished an article showing the number of medern guns mounted and ready for instant use in each of the principal works of the harbor. The statement as to the number of twelve-inch guns at Fort Point has been disputed. The fact can be proved that five twelve-inch and three ten-inch modern rifles are in po- sition at Fort Point and ready for use at any hour. These guns constitute a formidable battery, as advanced mod- ern batteries are estimated. No battle- ship or cruiser could shell San Fran- cisco without coming within the range of these powerful rifles. Sixty skilled men were sent to the Presidio yesterday morning for duty in mounting guns at Fort Point. The de- tails were made from batteries sta- tioned at Angel Island, Lime Point and Fort Mason. The detachments arriv- ing at the Presidio reported to Colonel Miles, commanding the post. Colonel Miles was a busy man yes- terday. The early muster engaged his attention in the forenoon. He spoke highly of the condition of the troops at the garrison. Speaking generally of af- fairs at the Presidio he remarked: “There is no change. The men detailed to mount the guns have been assigned to that duty. Yes, the usual vigilance is observed to prevent unauthorized persons from inspecting the works or tampering with the guns or carriages. Mounted men patrol the reservation, but they have not arrested any sus- picious characters. It requires some vigilance to keep boys from trapping the quail on the reservation. The pa- trols came across six or eight traps and some had quail in them. We ascer- tained that the boys were catching the live birds for some one in the city. The sentinel was placed on the board walk for the protection of ladies who might be passing along after dark.” The subject of ammunition is one that army officers decline to discuss. It is believed that the supply of ammuni- tion for the high-power guns is lim- ited. Yesterday it was reported that the Santa Cruz Powder Company had, after consultation with the Ordnance Department, - decided to extend the | supplies of effective powder. | partment, | didates were also advised of the post- works at that place and put in a plant powdered pipe-clay mixed with water to the thickness of cream. for the special manufacture of powder for the army on this coast. Frequent made under the direction of Lieutenant Babbitt during the past y Recent tests demonstrated the ability of the Santa Cruz people to'meet the require- | ments of the Government, hence the proposed enlargement of the plant to suppiy the forthcoming demand. The Government requires that the powder for the twelve-inch rifles, the standard charge being four hundred and fifty | pounds, shall give the one thousand pound steel projectile an initial velocity | of two thousand feet per second, with- out exerting an undue pressure on the | gun. The pressure can be accurately | easured in an oil cylinder, which reg- isters the recoil of the gun. Many tests were made before ail the conditions de- | manded were fulfilled. It is said now | that a powder has been produced which will give the desired velocity to the pro- Jectile without exerting too much pres- sure on the gun. The results attained | are regarded in army circles as highly important. Hereafter it may not be | | necessary for the Pacific Coast defenses to rely on Eastern manufacturers for The chief of ordnance in Washington has been advised of all the experiments made in San Francisco. In fact, authority for the tests came from the chief of the corps. Yesterday Lieutenant William S. Me- | Nair, Third Artillery, reported to the | commanding officer at the Presidio for duty in cennection with the mounting | of modern guns. General Shafter, commanding the De- | is at Bakersfield. Lieuten- | ant John D. Miley, Fifth Artillery, aid on the staff of General Shafter, left the city for the south last Sunday. | Yesterday Major Robert H. White, | surgeon and president of the board ap- | pointed to conduct the examination of candidates for West Point, received a | telegram from Washington directing that the examination be deferred. Can- ponement, hence the board did not | meet at the Presidio. It is thought | that matters of more pressing 1mpon-§ ance than West Point cadetships are now engaging the attention of the/ army authorities at headquarters at | ‘Washington. | The following army officers called at | military headquarters in this city dur- | ing the past week: Second Lieutenant | A. E. Saxton, Eighth Infantry, sta- | tioned at Fort Meade, South Dakota; First Lieutenant C. E. Dentler, Elev- enth Infantry, on duty at the State Agricultural ~_College of Oregon, Cor- | vallis, Or.; Second Lieutenant J. J. | Bradley, Fourteenth Infantry, sta- tioned at Vancouver Barracks, Wash., who will appear before a board of of- ficers at the Presidio for examination as to his fitness for promotion. First Lieutenant James Franklin | Bell, Seventh Cavalry, stationed at| Fort Apache, Ariz., and who is well | on known in this city, having been in San Francisco for yvears as aid to General James Forsy | has been detailed as acting judge ad- | vocate, Department of the Columbia, | with station at Vancouver Barracks, | Wash. The detafl carries with it the | pay of captain. Lieutenant Bell en- tered West Point in September, 1874, and was graduated in June, 1878, but on account of the change of the law in the promotion of army officers he has not received his captaincy, al- though several cavalry officers who | were graduated from the United States Military Academy four years after | Lieutenant Bell have already been promoted to captains. Private Hiram A. Harris, Company B, First Infantry, now at Benicia Bar- racks, has, upon his own application, been transferred to Light Battery F, Third Artillery, at the Presidio. By direction of the Acting Secretary of War the following enlisted men have been ordered discharged from the serv- ice of the United States: Private Isaac T. Chambers, Hospital Corps, Angel Island; Private William K. Withlow, Battery L, Third Artillery, Angel Isl- and; Sergeant Charles Leidenberger, detachment of ordnance, Benicia Ar- senal; Hospital Steward Christian Schmidt, Presidio. General Miles Coming West. CHICAGO, Feb. 28.—A special .to the Tribune says: General Nelson A. Miles of the United States Army, ac- companied by Rear Admiral Phelps of the Pacific Coast squadron, U. S. N., passed through Pittsbure last night en route to San Francisco from Washing- ton. It is reported that both are on their way to San Francisco to look into the preparations being made to defend that port in case of war, To ® UHE " i Sty | ORGAN FI IZE TO GHT SPAIN Philo Jacoby Now Forming a Big Company of Famous Marks- men Who Would Willingly Battle for the Country. Should the threatened war with| Spain resolve itself into a stern reality San Francisco will have among its de- | fenders one of the most unique and powerful organizations that the world has ever known. It will number among its members dozens of champion rifle shots, men who have won world-wide reputations before the targets, as well as in actual warfare. Though the company of warriors will not number over 200, it is probable that no regiment in the world could stand before its fire for more than a very few moments. | Philo Jacoby, the veteran rifle shot, who is known throughout the length and breadth of the land as one of the| greatest marksmen the world ever | produced, has been secretly organizing | the company since the complications with Spain began to take on a belliger- | ent tone. Jacoby chose his recruits | from among the men whom he knew | were dead shots at anything inside of 500 yards. | His long experience before the range | and his acquaintance with the crack | shots of the shooting crganizations of this coast told him whom to see andfew men to whom he spoke regarding the detense of San Francisco refused to Jjoin. Among those who | roll Jacoby has prepared are Colonel | Beaver of the California Bank; Colonel | H. J. Burns, who served in the Civil War; A. Strecker, who has won the proud title of “Shooting King”; Wil- liam Ehrenpfort, one of the veteran rifle shots of the coast; A. Rahwyler, | the champion of one of the German shooting organization John Utschig, have signed the | who is certain to center a man at any distance within reach of his rifle; L. | C. Babin, Otto Burmeister and a hundred more. The idea of the founder of the com pany is to organize quietly and in such a manner that the city, the State or the Federal Government shall not be com- pelied to spend a cent in the arming and equipping of the organization. Each man will furnish his own rifle, | ammunition and uniform, and all are eady to take the field on a day’'s no- tice. Philo Jacoby explained how he came to form the organization last evening. “Since the trouble with Spain began to look serious,” he said, “I have been circulating among my friends finding out their feelings regarding the mat- | ter and recruiting a company, which, if | war is declared, will be the strongest | in the world. Hvery man in it has a regular record as a marksman and the foe who confronts | his rifle within 500 yards must certain- ly go down. Such men as Strecker, who has made a world's record at the range; Utschig, Ehrenpfort and Babin, if formed into a company, would make formidable opponents to eénemies who | outnumbered them five to one. We are all men of ‘means, or at least able to furnish our own arms and _equip- ments,, and all we ask is an oppor- tunity to take the field against Spain or any other foreign enemy. Every | man whom I have selected has signed an agreement to be ready on twenty- four hours’ notice with his rifle and cartridges, and though we will num- ber but 200 men it will go hard with any full regiment that dares to op- pose us. We have decided on the name of California Sharpshooters.” The promoter of the California Sharp- shooters was in his day one of the most remarkable marksmen known, and dur- ing the Centennial Exposition of 1876 won the championship of the world from the teams of a dozen countries for the California Schuetzen Club of this city. The performance was a most extraordinary one under the cir- circumstances by which it was made. Up to the last shot in the competition California was beaten and it took a dead center to win the honors for the Golden West. Jacoby, as the crack shot of the team, was the man on whom the great responsibility rested. because the proper “feel” was not there. The fourth time, to use Ja- coby’s own words, “she felt like a bar of iron,” and a dead center electrifiéd the spectators who were watching breathlessly for the result. That shot won for Jacoby a decora- tion that he prizes more than any other of his earthly possessions. His club presented him with a beautiful laurel wreath in gold and green enamel, in the center of which is in- scribed a description of the wonderful shot. Jacoby has also a military training and thousands of German marksmen would follow his standard in case he started out to organize a regiment. He is the editor of the Hebrew. — Minister Bernabe Sails. GIBRALTAR, Feb. 28.—Senor Louls Polo v Bernabe, the Spanish Minister to the United States, sailed for New York to-day. Age 25; Weight 180 Complexion is Appearances are forid, et often quite decep- quite weak. tive. A bright young man of 25, with a strong- looking frame, was seen the other day who said he was a very weak man, de- spite the fact that he weighed 180 or more pounds. He said he could not ac- count for his lack of energy, norfor his feeling of nervousness and fear of many things. “I have almost lost my grip,” he said. When a man of that age is in danger of losing his grip there must be something wrong somewhere. He ought |to be in the full possession of all his | powers and fit to fulfill with satisfaction all his duties. But this man confessed that he could do nothing of the sort. He sought advice and help time and again, and he had about concluded that he would be always weak, when a friend induced him to go to 5 Stockton street, in this city. He foundan eminent physician there who has seen and cured hundreds of such cases. The doctor examined him and prescribed “Hudyan,” which alone is to be had from the Hudson Medical Institute. In a week the draining that was going on in the system was stopped, and confidence began to be restored. He now sleeps better than he has done for many years, and the dreams that disturbed him are gone for all time. He begins to feel like a whole man, as well as looking like one, and is full of fire now.
