Church, a prominent attorney, and two of his lady friends— Miss Albertson and Miss Mollie Jolly— who had been camping near Sampson Flats in Madera County, will have to answer to a charge of having caused a forest fire and the destruction of con- giderable property. The trio were ar- rested in this city this morning by Constable Bigelow of O'Neals, upon complaint sworn out by a farmer named McCape, whose property was destroyed.

CHAPLAIN MINTYRE TO BE COURT-MARTIALED For His Talk He Is Charged With Conduct Unbecoming an Officer. WASHINGTON, Sept. Ever since the printed reports of the sensational utter- ances of the naval chaplain, Joseph P. McIntyre, reached the Navy Department, the officials have been making a quiet in- quiry into the accuracy of the newspaper publications. The chaplain, who was at- tached to the Oregon and was on board when the battle of July 3 was fought, was accredited with some savage criti- cism of Admiral Sampson, Captain Evans and varlous other officers of the Ameri- can fleet, insisting that to the officers and men of the Oregon alone belonged the ‘-‘“Dr¥ achieved over the Spanish squad- ron. He was particularly severe on Cap- tain Evans, whom he charged with cow- ardice. Apparently the Navy Department has now satisfied itself that the chaplaln really uttered the language ascribed to him, for it has ordered his trial by court martial on charges of conduct tending to the prejudice of good order and discipline and conduct unbecoming an officer. The chaplain is now on leave of absence in Denver. R S ANARCHISTS AGAIN ACTIVE IN SPAIN Revolutionary Plot Discoverei by the Police in the Suburbs of Barcelona. Bpectal cable to The Call and the New York Herald.

The con- spirators were surprised while arms were being distributed to them. Twenty were arrested and others took flight. At mid- night twenty men were disarmed by the Octroi guards and gendarmes. They af- terward fled into the country, the caval- lera infanteria following them. All known anarchists have been arrested. - New South Wales Wheat. SYDNEY, N. 8. W., Sept. 5.—The area sown to wheat in New South Wales is shown bg complete reports to be 1,500,000 acres, which {8 an Increase 26 per cent over the area devoted to that product last season. It is estimated that the total yield will be 15,000,000 bushels, which will allow of substantial exports. CUARD AGAINST YELLOW FEVER Strict Quarantine On at Mobile. AFRAID OF NEW ORLEANS PERSONS AND BAGGAGE FROM THERE TO BE WATCHED. | Suspicious Cases at the Crescent City: Are Viewed by Health Officials of Loue isiana. Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 5.—There was | a conference held her: between the offi- | cials of the Board of Health, attending | physicians and Dr. Carter of the United | States Hospital Service, with respect to | the alleged cases of yellow fever in New Orleans. The cases were viewed by the experts. Dr. Carter reserved his | opinion until to-morrow. hence no an- nouncement was made as to whether the trouble is yellow fever or not. MR. AND MRS. ALGER CALL ON MR. SHERMAN It Is Said That the Secretary of War | Is Trying to Stop the Ex- Secretary’s Talk. NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—The Washington | correspondent of the Herald says: Both Secretary Alger and former Secretary Sherman protest that there is no ill feel- ing between -them on account of General | Miles, and they still maintaln cordial personal relations, as was fllustrated by | Secretary and Mrs. Alger making a soclal | call on Mr., Sherman this morning. The fact that Secretary Alger had called on Mr. Sherman became generally known in Washington to-night, and was the subject of much discussion. It was interpreted in some quarters to signify | that_Secretary Alger wanted to placate | Mr. Sherman, and visited him for the pur- | pose of inducing him to abstain from any urther criticism of the and the War Department. I have good authority for the statement, however, that there was little if any diScussion of War Department matters. e SANTA BARBARA NOMINEES. Ticket Named by Republicans in County Convention.

Captain Benneche Heard Nothing of the Wreck of the Whaling Fleet. PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. 5. — The schooner W. H. Talbot arrived to-day, nineteen days from St. Michael. Captain Benneche reports that ug to the day of his sailing no news of the wreck of the imprisoned whallnf fleet had reached St.- Michael. Boats from Kotzebue Sound were arriving daily, and news of disaster to the fleet would reach Kotzebue Sound first; consequently he places no reliabil- ity in the report of the loss of the whal- ers. e World’s Records Broken. DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 5.—The world's record was broken at the State L. .A. W. meet_here to-day when Charles Porter and F. A. Joseph, both of Detroit, won the two-mile amateur handicap tandem event, starting from scratch, in 4:01 3-5. The former record was 4;05. s e Aol s 4« Won in the First Round.

HUNDREDS OF EAGER MEN SEEK TO OBTAIN HOMES ON THE OVERLAP TRACT. Southern Pacific Believed to Have Employed Crowds of Laborers to Take Up Homesteads for the Company. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5.—The Gov- ernment Land Office here is besieged by a large crowd of people who desire to file on land recently lapsed to the United States under a decision of the Federal court in this city. This land, which comprises over 1,000,000 acres, a great portion of which is heavily cov- ered by timber, extends for five miles on each side of the branch line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, paralleling it for a distance of thirty miles and running from a point on the Los Ange- les County line into Riverside County. The land is designated as the “South- ern Pacific overlapped branch line land.” The railway’s title thereto was found to conflict with a prior grant to the Atlantic ar . Pacific. It is expected that a great many conflicts will arise between rival claimants. The pur- chaser from the Southern Pacific Rail- road will, however, receive protection at the hands of the United States under the act of March 3, 1887. Late this evening over 200 men were in line waiting to flle their applications for land upon the opening of the office | at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning, and it is expected that the number will be in- creased to at least 500 before that hour. It is strongly suspected that the rafl- road company has employed a large number of men to take up a great por- tion of the most desirable land. Many of the men In line are being relieved in relays every four or five hours by others who come, apparently, in charge of parties known to be identified with the railroad interests. The officers of the land ofuce will, they say, use every effort on their part to prevent fraud and ~re prepared to put each applicant through a searching examination before filing his papers. SNUG LITTLE SUMS FOR DEWEY AND SAMPSON What They and Their Subordinates Will Get for Destroying the Spanish Fleets. NEW YORK, Sept. 5—A Washington special to the Herald says: From the official report of Admiral Montejo, commanding the Spanish fleet sunk at Manila, there were 1875 persons on board the ships under his command. The Spanish fleet was of inferior force to the American squadron, and Rear Admiral Dewey’s men will therefore only get $100 for each person. It is estimated that the aggregate amount due the Asiatic fleet as a result of the destruction of the Spanish force amounts to $187,500, which Congress will be asked to appropriate during the coming session. One-twentieth of this sum belongs to Rear Admiral Dewey, as commander-in-chief, and he will therefore be $9375 richer than he was before the war. Rear Admiral Sampson has realized a snug little fortune as a result of the war. As commander-in-chief of the North Atlantic fleet he will get one- twentieth of every prize taken in North Atlantic waters and one-twentieth of the head money allowed for vessels de- stroyed off Santlago and in Cuban ports. It is estimated that he will finally receive about $4000 as his share of the prize money. In determining the amount of head money due the officers and men it will be necessary for the department to de- clde whether the vessels destroyed were inferior or superior to their antago- nists. If the latter, the Americans will be entitied to $200 for each person on board the enemy’s vessels. Of course, this will swell the amount of prize money due the rear admiral. It is estimated that, including the Mercedes, sunk by the Massachusetts at the mouth of the harbor of Sant- tiago, there were 2492 persons on board the Spanish fleet destroyed by Rear Admiral Sampson’s command, which was superior to the enemy, and the amount of head money due the fleet will consequently aggregate $249,200. SPANISH STATESMEN DISCUSS PEACE TREATY Secret Session of the Chambers to Draft a Law to Renounce Sov- ereignty Over Colonies. MADRID, Sept. 5.—The Chambers as- sembled here to-day. At the opening of the Senate the Secretary read a letter from Senor Rodriguez, Sepator from Porto Rico, refusing to obey the summons to attend. The Premlier, Senor Sagasta, arrayed in the insignia of his office, ascended the tribune and read a decree authorizing the Government to present to the Cham- ber a draft of a law empowering the Ministers to renounce sovereignty over the colonies, in conformity with the stip- ulations of the peace preliminaries be- tween the United States and Spain. The President of the Senate propose% a secret discussion of the decree, and, d8spite the protests of some Senators, ordered that the gallerfes be cleared, This was done, amid loud murmurs of disapproval. Those who had expected sensational scenes on the reopening of the Chambers were disappointed. The general public seems indifferent. The people at large are apga.remly convinced that Spain must ac- ce edm whatever the United States de- mands. DEMANDS THAT HE BE TRIED FOR MURDER Unusual Request of a Negro Whom the Officials of Napa Re- fuse to Arrest. NAPA, Sept. 5.—John Clemens, the ne- gro accused of murder by A. F. Allen on the latter's deathbed, is at large. The offieers refused to arrest him, because they could not get sufficient corrobora- tion to Allen’s statement. Clemens now demands to be arrested and tried for murder. He says he is innocent and can prove it, but unless he is given the op- portunity to do so people will always be- lieve he was guilty. e says he is going to call on Judge Ham of the Superior Court to-morrow and have him order his arrest. He will also demand of the Dis- trict Attorney that he be prosecuted. The officers have apparently abandoned the search for the murderer—for that Al- len_was murdered almost every one be- lieves, relying principally upon the con- clusfons of the doctors. ——— Eagan Elgcted Sword-Bearer.

SCORES OF LIVES IMPERILED BY THE WORK OF A4 FIEND @Auger Holes Bored in the Bow of the Alaska Bark Northern Light. The Notorious Mrs. Herman a Stowaway on a Vessel Which Barely Escapes Being Sunk at Sea. BERING STRAIT, June 27.—The bark Northern Light, Captain Joseph ‘Whiteside, from San Francisco for Kot- zebue Sound, is safe in port at last, and her crew and 152 passengers are con- gratulating each other upon having es- caped death at sea through the flendish crime of some person or persons in San Francisco. After the Northern Light had put to sea her hold began to fill with water. Despite the efforts of the crew and passengers at the pumps the encroaching element gained head- way until it threatened to sink the ves- sel. When at last even the captain and begun to despair the discovery was made that the bow of the Northern Light was honeycombed with auger- holes which had been drilled by some fiend in human form intent on sinking the vessel and sending 170 souls to death in the bosom of the Pacific. Soon after leaving port the ship was discovered to be leaiing badly, and all hands were called to the pumps. She was kept afloat by constant pumping day and night. The anxiety of the 152 passengers ahoard can well be im- agined. The passengers were com- pelled to work in relays to relieve the exhausted crew. The source of the leak was finally discovered by Chief Officer George Tilton, the officer who won fame by his perilous journey to civilization from the ice-bound whalers at Point Barrow to seek relief for the starving sailars. Tilton searched the hold from stem to stern listening for the sound of running water. After two days he was rewarded by locating the leak in the bow. It was the work of hours to cut through the massive tim- bers and reach the bow. There a start- ling discovery was made. The bow was punctured by four auger holes seven- eighths of an inch in dimensions, and through them the water was rushing in streams. Three of these openings were plugged, but one could not be reached without cutting away the 'tween decks, and was left open, the crew pumping out the water that entered through this opening. There is apparently no clew to those who perpetrated this outrage. The holes had been bor d by a mechanic with a ship auger. He must have un- derstood the trade and taken careful measurements. The fob was one that must have required at least an entire night, for he had to_drill through a six-inch iron and wood shield and then through four-inch oak plank. The Northern Light sailed from San Francisco on Mav 12, after a delav of sixteen hours, caused by a discharged steward who circulated a report that there were contraband goods aboard. A search by customs officers proved the untruth of the report. After the vessel had proceeded to sea a series of strange discoveries were made. in addition to that by Chief Of- ficer Tilton. The chief officer ordered the men to bring up from the hold and distribute the life preservers. The first tar who went rumm-=~ing among them suddenly gave a yell as though he had been bitten by a snake, and rushed upon deck with “his eyes sticking out s0 as you could brush them off with sticks,” as the chief officer expressed it. Nothing coher nt could be got from him, so arming himself with a belay- in® pin and taking a lantern the chief officer approached the life preservers ard found—only a woman stowaway. She was brought on deck, and it was found she was Mrs. Herman, the woman who deserted her husband and children to follow to the Klondike C. ‘W. Bowman, one of the passengers on the Alaska. Readers of The Call will remember she made all sorts of false representations to Captain Whiteside, declaring she was a deserted wife. When a Call reporter discovered her identity and learned that she herself was deserti~~ a happy home to follow a man she loved assistance was denied her. Then Mrs. Herman succeeded ‘in stowing herself aboard. There being no fit accommodations for women other than those of the cantain’s wife aboard the Northern Light, Mrs. Whiteside was compelled to take the woman un- der her protection and give her a stateroom in the after cabin. Another stowaway made his appear- ance from the fore peak the next day and was put at work by the mate af- ter having been given a good meal. NILES BRANCH 15 EING REBUILT Be Practically a New Line. Will SOUTHERN PACIFIC ALARMED PREPARING TO MEET VALLEY ROAD COMPETITION. Huntington Already Arranging to Give Improved Passenger Ser- vice Through the San Joaquin Valley.- Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Sept. 5.—The Southern Pacific is already making preparations to'give an improved passenger service through the San Joaquin Valley when the Valley Road becomes a competing line from this point over the Point Richmond route to San Francisco. To this end the Niles line, which has been neglected for so many years, and which has been considered the poorest makeshift in the entire system, is be- ing overhauled and will be practically a new line when the Valley Road trains begin to go through to the bay. The heaviest rails to be had are now re- placing the old ones, and weak por- tions of the roadbed on either side of Niles are being strengthened. Wher- ever possible the curves are being straightened and the grades reduced. The work is in progress without dis- turbing the running of trains and must necessarily be slow, but it is going on steadily, and by the end of the year this branch of the system will be prac- tically a new line. Everything indi- cates that the route will be the one over which the fastest trains will be sent in an endeavor to keep the new line from cutting in on a traffic which the Southern Pacific has held exclu- sively for so many years. DEATH OF COLONEL ANDREW SHEEHAN Made a Vast Fortune in Gambling in Early Days, but Became Com- paratively Poor. NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Colonel Andrew Sheehan, a veteran of the turf and the green cloth, died to-day, 70 years of age. Forty years ago he combined politics with his other pursuits, and wielded power in influential circles. In 1849 Sheehan has- tened to the mining flelds, vgmre for a s pockets time he deftly converted to the virgin fid which miners dug from the earth. He invested his winnings in San Francisco real estate, opened gam- bling houses in that city and in five years accumulated a big fortune. At one time he owned an entire block of business buildings in San Francisco, and was re- orted one of the wealthiest men on the acific Sloge, He was generous to _a fault, and his money went from him.

As Usual the Democrafic Ticket Has Been Successful. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 5.—Arkan- sas to-day elected a full corps of State of- ficers, 100 members of the lower house of the Legislature, sixteen State Senators, local officers in each of the seventy-five counties and voted on the adoption of two leorunt constitutional amendments, as well as the question of the lqugr license in the different counties. The momti: State ticket, headed by Dan W. Jones, undoubtedly elected, the only doubt being the size of the Democratic plurality. The vote on the two constitutional amendments s In doubt. One of these provides for the creating by the Legisla- ture of a railroad commission, and the other for the levying of a tax of 3 mills for road purposes. -— Coulterville Hotel Burned. MODESTO, Sept. 5.—On Saturday night last the Coulterville Hotel at Coulterville was destroyed by fire, caused by a cur- tain coming into contact with a lighted lamp.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—The wheat crop of 1898 s not quite up to promise, according to the report of the American Agriculturist, which appears in the issue of Septembeér 1. This says that in a few States It now appears the prom- ise of wheat was not fulfilled in actual grain by what must seem like a large margin, while in a number of States the rate of yleld was even greater than indicated on July 1. But with full allowance for all disappointment, the fact remains that the crop this year ls the largest on record. The reported rate of yield in winter wheat is 14.8 bushels and in spring wheat 15.4 bush- els. The final crop result will appear next month, but the American Agriculturist says that It must not mids to note that if the present rate of yield indicated shall be maintained, the total roduction of winter wheat will be rather under 400,000,000 bushels and spring wheat fully 300,000,000° bushels, subject to modification next month.
