10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1898. 10 DIRECT FIRE OF ARTILLERY System to Control All the Stations Defend- ing This City. | | A Board Appointed by General Shafter Will Convene To-Day. Five Hundred Tents to Be Sent From Here to St. Louis. | | | INSPECTION AT BENICIA. Strict the Presidio. Recent Desertions From the Regulations at Garrison. I | The following special order was is- | sued yesterday: Headquarters Department of Califor- nia: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 14, 1898. Special Order No. 31. (Extract.) ! 1—A board of officers to consist of | Colonel Marcus P. Miller, Third Ar- tillery; Major Edward Field, Secondl Artillery, artillery inspector; Captai { Sedgwick Pratt, Third Artillery, and | First Lieutenant Eugene T. Wilson, | Third Artillery, will convene at these | headquarters at 11 a. m. to-morrow, | the 15th instant, for the purpose of formulating a fire-control system for the artillery stations in San Fran- | cisco harbor. The system will in- clude all the batteries at present completed and in the process of con- struction, and will also keep in view the extension of the system to in- clude all projected batteries. The board is authorized to confer with Colonel Charles R. Suter, corps of engineers, for any information that he may give that will be of service to it in the performance of the duty assigned to it. It is important that this work be completed with the least practicable delay. Upon notification by the president of the board, the different post com- manders will afford all facilities for the prosecution of the work enjoined by this order. | The junior member of the board | will act as recorder. Such journeys as may be made by | the members of the board in the exe- cution of this duty are necessary for | the public service. | By command of | BRIGADIER GENERAL SHAFTER. J. B. BABCOCK, Assistant Adjutant General. Official. Some beautiful theories about con- | centrating the re of the mortars, | twelve-inch breech-loading rifles, the | ten-inch breech-loading rifles, and | the dynamite guns on an enemy's ves- | sel will doubtless be presented to the | board. Firing according to the range- finder, the charts and at signals con- | veyed by telephone to electricians may | be all right for long range work, and | particularly applicable to the mortars and dynamite guns for any *range, but at short range it may become neces- sary-to train the ten and twelve inch | rifles directly on the floating object of | attack. General Shafter may decide to test the new-fangled theories on some old hulk before adopting any arbitrary | system for fire control. The old-fash- ioned way of training a gun directly | oh a ship works remarkably well at| close range. The members of the board are practical and experienced of- ficers and will doubtless submit a | scheme for firing that will render the | cannonading highly effective. | Preparations for war continue with | undiminished vigor. Yesterday Gen- eral Shafter received orders from the | Secretary of War to send five hundred | tents from the quartermaster’s stores | in San Francisco to St. Louis. The tents will probably be shipped to-day. | The purpose of General Miles to con- | centrate a large force of the regular army in the vicinity of Chattanooga and Atlanta will probably be carried out. Private intelligence from Wash- ington indicates that there has been some little difference of opinion be- tween General Miles and the Secretary of War regarding the scheme of mo- bilization. It is supposed now that General Miles has persuaded the Sec- retary to authorize the concentration of the troops at Chattanooga or At- | lanta. The tents ordered by wire yes- | terday will probably be used for the | troops that will assemble at some point south of the Tennessee River. The First United States Infantry is still awaiting the order to go aboard the train. Everything that comes to light indicates a determination on the part of General Miles to utilize the services of this regiment at some other point than San Francisco. Recent orders have been issued en- joining secrecy as to the plans of the military arm of the service. The fol- lowing circular was issued yesterday hv Colonel Miles, commanding the post at the Presidio: PRESIDIO, AN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 14, 1898. Circular: Hereafter the gatekeep- ers will keep the gates of the reser- vation locked from 9 p. m. until 6 a. m. The gates will not be unlocked for parties to enter or leave except by order of the post or department commander. Whenever the gates are unlocked after hours the facts will be reported to the post commander. By order of COLONEL MILES. E. E. BENJAMIN, Adjutant. Orders received yesterday from head-, quarters of the army direct Secona' Lieutenant Frank A. Wilcox, Company C, First Infantry, stationed at _the Presidio, to proceed at once to Fort Monroe, Va., aad report to Captain Thomas L. Casey, corps of engineers, for temporary duty under his immedi- ate orders. Since last November Lieutenant Wil- | who is in charge of the defensive works | cently promoted and assigned to duty | sence hold to the theory that he has | | small in the First Infantry.” gineer officer of the Department of Cal- ifornia, in connection with the progres- sive military map ordered by the Sec- retary of War. Just prior to this date Lieutenant Wilcox returned from a year's course of instruction at the United States En- gineer School at Willets Point, N. Y., where his ability in connection with torpedoes for harbor defense and ex- periments with the same was recog- nized by his superior officers. His pres- ent assignment under Captain Casey, at Hampton Roads, Va., is a well-de- served detail for this young. energetic officer. Lieutenant Wilcox bade good-by to his friends at the Presidio and the Bo- hemian Club yesterday and got aboard the Central overland train for the East last evening. He wasted no time in making_ his preparations to go to the front. Mr. Wilcox is familiar with the system of submarine defense of San Francisco harbor and his departure at this time is a source of regret to the engineer officers of the Pacific Division, who are charged with the duty of planting torpedoes in the channel. The work is well advanced, however, and should emergency require the immedi- ate employment of experts, citizens skilled as electricians, may be em- ployed to assist the engineers. General Shafter, accompanied by Lieutenant Miley, Fifth Artillery, aid and Engineer officer, went to Benicia on the Government steamer General McDowell yesterday and inspected Ma- Jor Smith’s battalion of the First In- fantry, stationed at Benicia Barracks. The inspection was thorough as to the troops, the equipment, clothing and transportation outfit. The general found that the battalion was ready to take the field for active service with- out a minute’s delay. The troops re- garded the visit of the department commander as an indication that marching orders would soon be given. There was a red glow in the sky over the Presidio last night. Observation brought out the fact that it was caused by massing artillery colors at a mess dinner of the Presidio Club. Lieutenant Colonel Wallace F. Ran- dolph, Third Artillery, who was re- at this station, was the chief guest at the dinner last night. There is such a scarcity of water at the Presidio Reservation that the com- manding officer has ordered that all the garden hose in the hands of officers and organizations be turned over to the quartermaster’s department. The | watering hereafter will be done under | the direction of the head gardener. The commander of the post has is- sued an order directing that men of the infantry and cavalry on signal drill shall not be given passes except on Sat- urdays and Sundays. There was considerable talk among | the enlisted men at the post exchange yesterday concerning desertions from the garrison. Private William Vine- yord, Company G, First Infantry, is re- ported to have deserted on the 13th. An artilleryman of Captain Dane’s bat- tery is missing, but it is conjectured: that he did not desert. He left his pa- | pers, a month’s pay and sume allow ances. Officers commenting on his ab- been “shanghaied” or made away with | in some other manner against his will. Investigation of the rumor that de- sertions have been frequent of late does not verify the assertion that the num- ber thus leaving the service is unusual. Desertions occur at every large garri- son like the Presidio. Many soldiers have been carried away by the glitter- ing stories of wealth acquired in_ the Klondike country. Many good soldiers whose terms of enlistment recently ex- pired and who were expected to re- enlist have disappointed their com- manding officers by preferring to take a trip to Alaska before rejoining the service. A soldier of the First Infantry com- menting on the recent desertions sald: “This shows that a few of the men are getting cold feet and do not want to go to the front. It is better that they should go now than later on. Every regiment has a few men of this kind, but the percentage of such is very Captain Starr of the First Infantry | remarked yesterday that the percentage of desertions had not increased since | the war talk began. Considering the | number of troops stationed at the Pre- sidio he regarded the desertions slight. Colonel Miles, the commanding offi- cer, holds to the idea that the few men who have deserted recently have been | tempted to leave by the stories from | the Klondike. | The assignment of officers in the new Sixth and Seventh Regiments of Artil- lery have been made as follows: Stxth RegimentColonel, Edward B.

Harms were accepted. _The question of the San Francisco Yacht Club joining the Pacific Interclub Yacht Association was discussed, and the general feeling of the directors was that the club ought to become a member of the association, and would do so if the assoclation would meet it half way. In- asmuch as the directors of the associa- tion whose action caused the San Fran- cisco Yacht Club to withdraw from the assoclation are no longer in office, it is only a question of time before the club Wil enter the association again. — e —— TOOK FORCIBLL POSSESSION.

An aftermath of the eviction of Mrs, Elizabeth Mathai and her daughters, Lulu, Rose and Julia, from the house 3928 Seventeenth street, which was published exclusively in The Call of yesterday, was Tle arrest vesterday morning by Deputy Sheriff Galland of the two daughters, Rose and Lulu, on charges of malicious mischief and forcible entry.

Inquest on the Body of Mrs. Vidal Cervantes by the Coroner. Verdict by the Jury of Death From Natural Causes—An Unsatisfac- tory Autopsy. By the action of Coroner Hawkins, at the request of the Police Department, in exhuming the remains of Mrs. Vidal Cer- vantes and holding an inquest, her hus- band has been officially exonerated from the suspicion entertained by Detective Anthony and friends of the deceased that her death was the result of foul play. The remains have been again laid away to rest, and the verdict rendered by tha jury of “death due to natural causes” will allow the whole matter to rest so far as the authorities are concerned. Mortification had set in before the ex- humation of the body, and for this reason the autopsy made by Autopsy Surgeon Gallagher, in the presence of Dr. Ragan, who appeared on behalf of the husbanid, was not at all complete or satisfactory. Dr. Gallagher explained afterward thart, owing to the progress of decomposition, the autopsy was of little value. He found some signs of dilation of the heart and hardening of the first part of the aorta. +he stomach and other alimentary organs were delivered to Dr. C. L. Morgan, At the inquest yesterday Dr. Morgan testified that he found morphine in the stomach, but not in sufficient quantity to cause death. Dr. Artigues repeated the prescription which he had given Florentino Cervantes to have filled. It was composed exclus- ively of poisons, and was as follows: Sixty grains of jodide of potassium, 30 drops of tincture of belladonna and 60 drops of tincture of lobelia; dose, a table- spoonful every two or three hours until relieved of the pain caused by the asthma with which the deceased had been sutier- ing. He also ordered ten morphine pow- ders of one-sixth of a grain each, one powder to be taken every taree hours until sleep should be induced. The only time he was called in to see the patient was on March 29, a day before death took place. She was gasping for breath, and he fiund that the woman was suffering from an intense attacz of | asthma. He found symptoms also of fatty degeneration of the heart.

The Morgue was notified, as was the Police Department, and the investigations went merrily on. Yesterday afternoon a Coroner’s jury met for the purpose of determining the cause of the death of the Chinese and returned a verdict of death from inter- nal hemorrhages following wounds, and further that he came to his death by a party or parties unknown. The verdict was approved by Coroner Hawkins, and the conclusions of the detectives Captains—John A. Lundeen, Montgomery M. Macomb, John P. Wisser, Henry R. Lemly, | George F. F. Harrison, John R.

A part- ing dinner was given to the captain in the red room. A miniature fort con- structed of salt bags was a feature of the round table decoration. The fort was equipped with miniature artillery. The flag floated from a pole in the cen- ter of the fort. The flag was raised to the peak many times during the even- ing and every time it went up the signs of a dry season vanished.

In many instances the Coroner and heads of the Police Department have agreed to disagree on such cases, and now the detectives are again working on the case to establish, if possible, conclusive proof of suicide. The room in which the deceased met his death has been carefully gone over and every one in the building who might possibly throw light on the case has been close- 1y questioned. The police believe the theory of sui- cide is correct from the fact that there is but one small window in the room where the shooting took place and that is over twenty feet from the roof below. Also that the outside door was se- curely bolted when the other cook in the building went to arouse his “boss.” The Coroner’s jury, however, were doubtful as to how the Chinese could have twice’ wounded or shot himself with a large caliber revolver:in a vital spot, but the police reply that the wounds were merely superficial or at least one was. The situation of the room; the potwvder marks on the dead man’s flesh; the closed doors and the fact that the cook had no enemies known to any of the de- ceased friends; that he had gambled heavily for the past few months as well as suffering from an old complaint is what the detectives rely on and the fact that two wounds were found on the body was the cause for the verdict as above given by the Coroner’s jury. However, there the matter rests and while the detectives are still working on the case the members of the jury have gone their way, little thinking of the turmoil which may follow a verdict opposite to that hoped for by many who had investigated the facts and cir- cumstances surreunding the death of one Louie Wee June. ————— San Francisco Yacht Club. At a meeting of the directors of the San Francisco Yacht Club held last night at the Merchants’ Exchange there were present Commodore Dr. T. L. Hill, Vice- Commodore G. T. S. White, Treasurer R. B. Hogue, Measurer J. K. Punnett and Secretary Charles B, Hill. The North Pacific Coast Railroad has agreed to run an extra ferry-boat between San Francisco and Sausalito on Saturday, April 23, the opening day of the San Fran- cisco Yacht Club.

Says He Conducted the Silver State Hotel on Temperance Lines. In The Call of April 2 an account of various rows between landlord and ten- ants at the notorious Silver State Hotel portrayed Charles Montgomery as con- ducting a religious revival in the base- ment of the hotel and a saloon on the ground floor. Investigation reveals the fact that Mr. Montgomery was put in a harsh light be- cause of the fact that his successors, who conducted a saloon in connection with a transient rooming-house, continued to use letter-heads that announced Mr. Montgomery as manager of the entire business. The gentleman denles that any of the servants of the house were de- frauded while he was manager of the hotel. There are few persons in San Francisco so well known in’ charity and Christian work as the gentleman who was thus set forth as conducting a saloon and transient house, for which reason the advertising matter used by the hotel after the saloon averyBad light: oo o0 PUtAlmiin Speaking of his connection with th - tel, last night, Mr. Montgomery :salc?:ho 1 mever collected any money from the bar, for there was no bar there until some months after 1 had jCeased all connection with the 1 e management of the hotel on February 13 and quit on July 13, while the bar was not started until October.” Whila I was connected with the house it was con. ducted on strict lines of respectabllity and temperance. We had temperance parlors con- nected with it and at no time were intoxicants old. The hotel was patronized by the best class of Christian and temperance people, and during the Christian Endeavor convention it was headquarters for the United Presbyterian delegates. 1 never received a cent from the sale of liquor and I never went to the hotel after I had severed connection with it or at any other time to collect money at 1 o'clock each day Mr. Montgomery is president of the morning a man from Marini, the under- taker, came to him and asked him to sign the death certificate, but the doctor re- fused to do so, because he had seen the patient only once before her death, and he told the man that probably some other physician had been called 'in after he | (Artigues) had left, After the young man had gone away Undertaker Marini_called on the doctor and requested tue doctor to sign the cer- tificate for the one visit, promising to take it to the Coroner and have the Cor- oner sign it. Dr. Artigues then signed the | certificate, setting forth that death re- sulted from heart failure and asthma. Hans Neflsen, agent for Mrs. Vidal Cer- vantes, told how the deceased came to see him the day before her death and said to him that it was almost the last time he | would ever see her alive. She explained that she was suffering from the effects of an overdose of medicine administered to her by the servant girl; that the dose | prescribed by the doctor was from twenty | to forty drops, and the girl had given her 200 drops. She became very sick, and was obliged to send for a doctor. The witness was not positive whether this conversa- | tion took place before or after the mar- | riage. | After ..rs. Cervantes died a woman and Mr. Cervantes called upon Neilsen for the personal property of the deceased. Cer- vantes informed Neilsen that the deceased | had mentioned him as having worked for‘ her for many years, and had requested | him to remunerate Neilsen for his past | services. He offered Neilsen $500 at first, | and afterward increased the offer to $1500. | Felicitas Navidad, a Mexican woman, testified that the deceased told her Cer- vantes had been urging her to make a will, but that she had refused to make any will because she did not believe she was married to Cervantes. Florentino Cervantes is a swarthy, good-looking young man, employed as a leather-worker in a Montgomery-avenue estabishment. He married the deceased, he said; on Marcn 21 of this year, and she ister, Frank Morton, '80. Dr. Sidney Worth, '71, was elected a member of the executive committee. Rev. John Water- man presided at the dinner and acted as toastmaster. —_———— RUINED _BY OPIUM. George O’Neil, a Property Owner and Ex-Convict, Arrested for Burglary.

A rumor was current to the | effect that the union had offered to com- | promise on nine and a half hours and that the Typothetae was favorably consider- | ing the proposition, but it was denied by | both parties. | The executive committee of the union held a meeting last night, and on infor- | mation that the employes of Byron Ring were assisting in getting out the work of a non-union office, decided to call out their men. This office has been very closely connected with one of the ten- hour offices, and had been notified that it should not in any way assist the non- unjon offices, but despite this, it is de- clared, the manager persists in com- pelling his employes to help out the non-union offices; hence the action. —_——— Another Electric Car Victim. Augustus D. Price, administrator of the estate of Margaret D. Price, who dled on the 22d ult., commenced suit yesterday to recover $10,000 damages from the Market Street Railway Company. He alleges that Mrs. Price’s death was due to injuries re- ceived by her on December 2, last, by be- ing struck and knocked down by an electric car of the Third street line near the crossing of Everett street. The claim is made that the car was being run at an unlawful rate of speed, and that the motorman neglected to warn pedestrians died nine days afterward. During her illness he and the bridesmaid waited on the sick woman. He never saw the brides- maid before the day of the marriage, and | she was not a relative of his. Although | appointed special administrator, he had | turned over the estate to the Public Ad- | ministrator. He denied that the deceased | had made him a present of $2000 or wuy other sum on the day of the wedding. Sne | never gave him as much as 1 cent. He found $906 belonging to her in her box in | the safe deposit vault. The witness denied also that Neilsen had asked him for any money or that he had offered Neilsen any. He had told the witness that he had two lawyers, who would sue the estate for wages due him by the deceased for his services. Cer- vantes said it was not necessary to get lawyers, because he (Cervantes) would pay him well, the deceased having recom- mended that he should do so. With regard to the cherry pectoral, the witness said he swallowed two teaspoon- fuls of it ...mself before he administered a teaspoonful to the deceased. After Coroner Hawkins had sent out the jury to deliberate upon the case, De- tective Anthony loudly expressed his dis- satisfaction with the manner in which the inquest had been conducted. He pointed out to the reporters several witnesses whom he had in attendance and who had not been given an opportunity of telling what they knew about the case. He said he was aisgusted and that he had never in his experience seen an important mat- ter rushed througn so hastily. The verdict of the jury was based on the testimony of Chemist Morgan, to the effect that there was not enough mor- phine in the stomach of the deceased to cause death and that there were evi- dences of disease of the heart. It is likely that the inquest has ended the matter so far as the police are con- cerned. MRS. LEVY'S DEATH. A Verdict of Suicide Rendered in the Case of the Urfortunate Woman. A Coroner’s jury yesterday brought in a verdict of suicide in the case of Mrs. Catherine Levy, a divorced woman, who killed herself by taking carbolic acid on 7th inst. lhleiurto]d C.
