As Gen- | _eral ‘Merritt has cabled that he needs no more troops, and as General Merriam, who is to be absent at least one month, wil in all probabaility make an unfavor-| .able’ report upon the probability of se- curing a-suitable camp at Honoluly, it 18 safe to say that the forces now here will néver. get any further toward the Philip- nes-that the Presidio.

A Test With the Ten-Inch Guns at Fort Point Yesterday Afternoon. The accuracy of American gunners, to- the irresistible destructive force of the modern high power gun, Was never better illustrated than in the test- ing of the three big 10-inch guns at Fort Point vesterday. The guns were fired by Battery E, Third Artillery, under com- mand of Captain Pratt. This battery, a disappearingone, was fired for the pur- pose of xesllng‘\e carriages recently ad- justed by Captdin Babbitt of the Ord- nance Department. The weight of the shells was 575 pounds each, and the charge of powder to each was 280 pounds. The velocity was 2025 feet per second, and the range was at a lubl;ge( off Point Bo- nita, a distance of 4 yards, or over three miles. Both the first and second shots were liners and would have struck a vessel, the first 20 feet above the water line and the second 15 feet above. The third fell ten yards short, have struck on a ricochet. The test was | eminently satisfactory to the artillery of- ficers, It was witnessed by the soldiers of the Sixth California Regiment and the First Battalion of the First Washington, and a large number of officers. The noise caused by the shells in the course through the air was deafening. When they hit the water they threw the spray into the air to the height of a hundred feet and then made a ricochet a distance of 1500 feet beyond, where they first struck. ——-— DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. Senator Faulkner and Repre- but would | |WANT, CREEGAN AND BECKER BEHIND BARS PETITION TO RECONSIDER THE FORGERY CASE. Scate Officials and Bankers of the ‘World Fight to Prevent a Retrial of These Criminals. Attorney General W. F. Fitzgerald backed by the local police and all of the bankers of the United States and Europe, is making an effort to have the notorious Becker-Creegan forgery case reheard by the Justices of the Supreme Court. These fellows are a portion of the gang of forgers who two years ago victimized the Nevada Bank to the tune of $22,000 on a forged check. The evidence upon which these two were convicted and upon which they were sentenced to life imprisonment by Superior Judge Wallace was about as strong as could be produced. How- ever, the microscopic eye of the law dis- covered a technical error or two and the upset by the cases being sent back to the Superfor Court for another trial, which would create other complications that | might end in acquittal. As shown by the appeal to the Supreme lJur‘!l(‘es for a rehearing of the case, the bankers of the entire world are deeply in- terest®d jn having the chief forger, Beck- er, behifid iron bars and out of harm’s way, for during the past dozen or more years he and his gang have swindled bankers on forged paper in_every large city of the United States and Europe. A few years ago the gang visited Paris, Przgue, Berlin, London and other big Eu- ropean cities and they cleaned up about | $200,000 as the result of that one trip. Six years ago the same fellows came to this city and’ fleeced the bankers out of a iarge amount, the Nevada Bank being one of the victims. It was the intention then to make a raid on the Heliman bank in Los Angeles, but somehow there was a £lip and the forgers went East. When they were arrested for the last crime they were preparing to go to South Am- erican citles and make a clean-up there. results of months of detective work was | try congratulating the rabbi and his wife upon the advent of their silver anniver- sary. One came from the former con- gregation of the rabbi at Houston, Tex. The home was beautifully decorated with ferns, palms and nowers. Orchestral music and a surper were pleasing fea- tures of the affair. Those present were the board of direc- tors and their wives and relatives of the family of the rabbi. The list was as fol- lows: Mr. and Mrs. Peixotto, Mr. and Mrs. Greenebaum, Mr. and Mrs. Jullus Jacobs, Abraham Anspacher, Mr. and Mrs. Stmon Newman, Mr. and Mrs. E.

SEVENTH CALIFORNIA. Now Located at the Presidio. -Denial That It Has an Epi- g démic of Typhoid. ! The Seventh California Regiment moved | ovet to the Presidio yesterday morning and went into camp o the westsof the First New York upon the cavalry parade | ground. The report of an epidemic of ty- | phofd fever in the regiment is denied by Colonel Berry and his medical officers. Captain Roblee, one of the surgeons, said vesterday: “There is no epidemic of fever and the general health is good. The facts | are that Companies I and H, when we | went into camp upon the site formerly @ccupied by the North Dakota, were so | unfortunate as to locate over some gar- " bage sinks, not known to us at the time. | eral cases of fever developed among men of tnese companies, and the fe: r was entirely confined Lo them. Only fourteen cases in the whole regiment were_sent to the division hospital. Some | these are now convalescing, while | thers have the disease in a mild form. | ‘This fever was caused entirely by the Tocal trouble, and it was deemed best, as the regimen{ was not to be immediately gent away, that it should be moved. The feyer would have appeared under like | circymstances in any regiment, and it Is | not an epidemic.” { Clolonel Berry confirms Captain Rob- ! tatement by saying that the fever | is not an epidemic, but the result of local | trouble, and he further states that his| command is fit and ready for service. lee's | same Faulkner of West Virginia and Represen- tatives W. H. Moody of Massachusetts and Eugene F. Loud of California, accom- | panied by* Postal Inspector Erwin, paid an informal visit to the Presidio yester- day morning. The distinguished guests were met by General Miller and staff. They witnessed guard mount, and in their honor the Fourth Cavairy band was mounted. At the conclusion of this cere- mony a salute of 17 guns was fired by a detah from Battery E of the Third Artil- lery, under command of First Lieutenant McNair. The committee was then escort- ed by General Miller and staff to Fort Point, where they were shown the harbor defenses and the working of. the big guns. They were accompanied by Colonel Whol- ley ‘of the First Washington and First Lieutenant Harris, adjutant of the Fourth Cavalry. After Fort Point had been vis- ited the Congressmen thanked the officers for their courtesies and continued their day’s pleasure by a visit to the Clff House. g War Incidents. The court martial appointed for the trial of the soldiers, against whom charges were preferred for being implicated in the attack upon the negro, Dan Thomas, was in session for a short time yesterday morning. Private Scruggs, Company B, charged with having struck Thomas on the head while being escorted to the Ten- nesse® camp by Major Cheatham, was be- fore the court. It was found necessary to make some technical revisions in the charges against him. This was done and the court adjourned. It will be in session agein to-day. ost Quartermaster Sergeant Neisser, with a detail from the Fourth Cavalry, left the Presidlo yesterda, with forty- elght horses assigned to Troop A of the regiment now stationed at Fort Walla Walla. The remaining battalion of the Twenty- third Infantry and the Oregon recrults will move from Ca‘mg_ Merritt to the Pre- sidio this morning. This winds up Camp Merritt. SEVERE ACCIDENT TO DR. FITZGIBBON THE RBRESULT OF A RUNAWAY ON WALLER STREET. His Wrist Broken and Body Badly Bruised—Driver King Also Slightly Injured. A severe accident befell Dr. Gerald J. Fitzgibbon of the Board of Health yes- terday morning while driving down Wal- ler street. His right wrist was broken, ter the situation is this distinctly forth: “We most earnestly urge set that tion and give us an opportunity_to show why in the interests of substaritial jus- tice, and of law and order, the judgment against these defendants should be affirm- ed. Whenever these technical rules of they cannot bend to meet the exigencies of those cases where shrewd and danger- ous criminals deliberately plan their op- erations with a view to rely upon such technicalities, then the law itself will be an accomplice in crime, and we will have lost the most cherished feature of our system of jurisprudence.” WOODMEN TAKE AN OUTING ON THE WATER PLEASANT EXCURSION ON SAN FRANCIECO BAY. Strangers Shown the Grandeur of the Harbor and Points of Interest on the City Front. | The head officers and delegates to the camp of the Pacific jurisdiction of the ‘Woodmen of the World were the guests of the reception committee of the local camps yesterday, and' they enjoyed the. hospitality of the committee in the nature of an excursion on the bay on board of the steamer Caroline, Captain Leale. In addition to the officers and delegates there were a large number of ladies, many of them delegates to the Grand Circle of the Women of Woodcraft. and the trip was enlivened by music by a brass band. The steamer cast off at 10 wharf along the front to Fort Point, giv- ing the excursionists a good opportunity to view all points of interest. Then the | steamer was headed tor Sausalito, after which the excursionists were taken ihroufh Raccoon Straits to within a rea- sonable distance of the quarantine sta- tion on Angel Island, where they had an opportunity to obtain a distant view of several hundred Faxaenxeru from China who are quarantihed there.

The | . disappointment of again being ordered to | remain here is especially hard on this | regiment, and it would appear that it is | destined to see all of its service in San | Francisco.

The facts as given out by a prom- inent officer at the Presidio show that the -aforesaid pull of Colonel Barber is respon- sible for the temporary delay in getting the troops away. General Merriam was in receipt of a let- | tee trom Colonel Barber after he reached Honolulu, in which that officer expatiated ‘at some length upon the difficulty he had experienced in finding a suitable site for" a camp. It is said that Colonel Barber was somewhat embittered because he was unable to secure a particularly choice sit- uation. Whether true or not, he threw such a damper upon available camrrlng sites, in his letter to General Merriam, that that officer deemed it best to leave -at once for Honolulu to loock into the matter himself.

The former struck on his right arm and head, snapping the wrist, and causing bad cuts. He was dazed by the shock, and for some time afterward seemed to be suffering from internal in- juries, but finally recovered to such an extent that Dr. Ragan, who attended the sufferer, pronounced him out of danger. It was not thought necessary to take the injured doctor to a huspital, and he was carried to his home. King was at first conveyed to the Ger- an Hospital and later to the home of his employer.
