Eight or Ten Thousand Men Would Be Needed in the Fortifications Here. RECRUITS FOR ARTILLERY. Union Iron Works Not Advised That Japan Is Willing to Sell Cruisers to Uncle Sam. “We have a regular force of trained artillerymen on this coast sufilcient to maintain and keep in good order the guns now in position,” said General Shafter, commanding the department of California, yesterday. He explained that there were not troops enough to man the guns in the event of war, as eight or ten thousand men would be re- quired for that purpose, but the force now available was large enough to keep everything in good shape for service. “I presume volunteers would be en- | rolled in case of war,” remarked the | general, “and we should soon get all the men required for manning the for- tifications. No, it would not be neces- sary for the First United States In- fantry to perform the duties of an artil- lery regiment. “The two regiments of artillery will be stationed on the Atlantic coast, where their services will most likely be required.

Re- cruiting officers are held to a rigid ac- countability for the enlistment of men who may be found unfit for the ser- vice. During the last two or three years recruiting stations have been obliged to reject the applications of more ‘than 1000 eligible men per month, and there will be no difficulty in read- ily procuring a full complement of men for the new Sixth and Seventh regi- ments of artillery. The recruits will be sent to the headquarters of the new regiments at Fort Slocum, N. Y., and Fort Monroe, Va. The report emanating from Washing- ton, D. C., that the United States had secured an option to buy the Japanese cruisers now in course of construction in_this country is not verified. Irving M. Scott, president of the Union Iron Works and the builder of the imperial Japanese cruiser Chitose, asserted yesterday that, so far as his | knowledge extended, the United States had secured no option from Japan for the purchase of the cruiser. He said: “In my judgment, there is no truth in the story. Although negotiations for such purpose would be conducted through the Japanese legation in ‘Washington, I am confident that I would be advised of the transaction it it were pending. I have not heard directly that any such negotiation was -in contemplation. To my mind, whole story lacks the element of proba. bility. The cruiser will probably be ready for delivery to the Japanese Government the latter part of this year., Of course, the construction could be hastened, as the Chitose is not an arm- ored battle-ship, and no delay in build- ing need follow a short supply armor-plate. “I understand,” continued Mr. Scott, “that our Government has not pur- chased a pound of armor-plate for the battle-ships Iilinois, Kentucky and Kearsarge. While the price—$400 a ton—has seemed high to the United States, Russia has contracted to pay Carnegle $500 a ton for a large quan- | tity of armor-plate. “We have received no orders at the Unfon Iron Works to hasten the con- struction on the battle-ship Wisconsin.

Sharkey’s programme of training is as follows: Up at 6:30, breakfast at 7:30; run of ten miles at 9:30 through the park, plunge in the ocean at 12, lunch at 12:30, gymnasium work at 3, dinner at 5:30 and bed at 9:30. The report that Sharkey has im- proved wonderfully in foot work and also quickness in avoiding blows, Is not groundless. He satisfled some expert Judges of the game yvesterday that he has vastly improved in many respects since he fought a draw with Choynski in this city. His style of fighting is entirely round-arm. He swings right and left at body and head in the hope of landing on some vulnerable spot. Sharkey does not pretend to be a scientific boxer. When asked why he leaves his face open to attack he re- plied that a smash on the nose or jaw does not affect him, and that his chin cannot be reached, as it is protected by the mounds of muscle on his should- ers. ! “] am always willing to take a punch if I can give one in return,” remarked Sharkey, “and you can bet that a few of my punches will set any man groggy if they land on the right spot.” Betting on the fight is $10 to $8, with Sharkey on the long end, but it can be safely said that the friends of Choynski, who wager on pugilistic con- tests, will reverse the present order of betting before the men will enter the ring on Friday evening.

Free samples of a most remarkabie semedy are being distributed by the State Medical Institute, Fort Wayne, Ind. It cured so many men who had battled for years against the mental and physical suffering of lost manhood that the insti- tute has decided to distribute free trial packages to all who write.

About four years ago he had a | stroke of paralysis, which affected his right arm, and since then he had been dependent for support upon his uncle, Frank Hamlin, first assistant corpora- | tion counsel in Chicago. He came here | from Seattle abcut six weeks ago, hav- ing been prevented from going to the Klondike by lack of funds. 5 The Judge, after listening to his story, said he could not be a party to dishonoring the name of Hamlin, and dismissed the case. He advised Ham- lin to procure a situation of some kind, and Hamlin said he had been unsuccessfully trying ever since he had been here. Hamlin is about 35 years of age, and is a manly looking fellow. He said he left Maine in the latter part of 1888 and went to Seattle, where he secured em- ployment with the B. and H. Abstract Company. He remained there till 1891, when he heard of his. grandfather death, who he says was the best friend he had in the world.
