Baker arrived in the city on Au- gust 17 from Japan and registered at the Occldental Hotel. He re- mained there a week and then took a room in the Clifford House. Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock the Japanese servant's at- tention was attracted by a strong smell of gas In the corridor of the second floor. He investigated every room but could not locate the leak. As a last resort he tried the toilet room, but found the door locked. This aroused his suspicion, and entering the room adjoining he crawled out of the window and made his way into the room. He found Baker lying unconscious on the floor and the gas escaping from the burner. The tip had been taken off b: Baker so as to allow the fulle: possible escape of gas. The ser- vant immediately ran outside and notified Policemen Burns and Hightower, who rang for the am- bulance and carried Baker out into the street.

HUNTER FIRES INTO A RANCH HOUSE Mistakes a Lamp for a Deer’s Eye and Fatally Wounds a Little Girl. SAN RAFAEL, Sept 11.—News reached this clty to-night of an accident at In- verness, near Point Reyes, last night, which may cost the life of the 14-year-old daughter of a prosperous farmer, named Berry. Mr. and Mrs. Berry and their two children, a boy and a girl, were sit- ting around the supper table shortly after dark, eating their evening meal, when the crack of a rifle was heard in the distance and simultaneously with the report a rifie ball crashed through the window. The bullet first struck the little boy, who was seated near the window, in the shoulder and glancing from a bone entered the abdomen of the daughter. The cries of the wounded children, drove the poor wife nearly frantic, and Berry had conslaerable trouble calmin, her suffictently to leave her in charge o the children while he ran for a doctor. As soon as the physiclan arrived he per- ceived that the boy’s wound was super- ficlal, but that the %irl ‘was perhaps fatal- ly wounded. All the medical assistance possible was rendered her, but proting failed to find the bullet and to-day she was taken to San Francisco for skillful treatment, It was learned to-day that the bullet was fired by a hunter named Scribes. He sai@ that he had been looking for deer, and in the gloom thought he perceived a gleaming eye a short distance away and fired. The eye could have been nothing more nor less than the lamp in the farm- er’'s dining-room. Scribes’ carelessness is censured and if the girl dies he may be arrested. HOLDS TWO THOUSAND SHEEP FOR TRESPASS Arrowhead Reservoir Company Be- gins the Fight Against Illegal Foraging. SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 11.—The first steps toward suppressing illegal for- aging on the San Bernardino forest reser- vation by sheep owners was taken yester- day when the Arrowhead Reservolr Com- pany corraled 2000 sheep afier warning the herder off its valuable little Bear Val- ley tract, and are holding them for tres- pass. The condition is becoming serious on the reserve, threatening the. water supply of the valley, Last spring the Government decided to put patrolmen on the reserve and grant the sheepmen the privilege of drivine across under Govern- ment guides to leased grazing ground on the other side; but it added the proviso that the sheeg men pay the guides $1 &0 a day each, hence it wants the guides’ interest, as well as to the sheep men's, to go slow. Thus immense tracts have been grazed over. The sheep eat everything grown, even young trees, standing on their hind legs to strip the bark and ranches as high up as they can reach. The_ ground is left unprotected and is washed away easily by rains and water not retained by the rofl. The number of sheep on the reserve is enormovs. or- —_————— LIGHTNER MINE FLOODED. ‘Water Breaks iin"augh From the Coleman Adjoining.

McLAUGHLIN AHEAD IN AN ALL-COMERS’ MATCRH. Utschig, Bremer, Rodgers and Mason | Well to the Front—Inde- pendent Rifles’ Prize Contests. One of the princlpal events of yester- day’s shoot at the Shell Mound rifle range was a record-breaking string by Fred P. Schuster of the Germania Schuetzen Club. In a ten shot run in the $75 dlamond medal match he made 24, 25, 23, 25, 24, 21, 22, 24, 25, 21—234, German twenty-five ring target count. This is without doubt the highest score ever made on this coast on the target named in a regular program- med match. Schuster's new mark will give the Eastern shotsssomething to think of for some time. To the ordinary observer the day for rifle shooting was perfect, but it was not all satisfactory to the riflemen. A little wind to carry off the heated air that arose from the range would have been acceptable, and with one or two excep- tions the marksmen voted to call it a “hoodoo” day. Following on the lead of Schuster, and in the same match, came John Utschig, who made a creditable score of 228 in ten shots. O. A. Bremer of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club carried off the honors, by making 51, Columbia target count, on his medal string. In the same club, D. W. McLaughlin pulled ahead In the ten score all-comers’ rifle mstch, his total now standing ) points. Une of the principal events ‘n tne park and range was the twenty-first annual picnic and prize shooting of the Independ- ent Riflers. All of the members and their | families were in attendance and the ladies and their escorts enjoyed dancing and the | other amusements that go with such| gatherings, while the marksmen spent the day on the range shooting for a large number of cash and merchandise prizes. The officers of the Rifles and the commit- tee of arrangement were: Sergeant C. Schnelder, Corporal P. H. Schoenig, John Schleemann, Sergeant C. H. Kornbeck. Captain L. Schneider, First Lieutenant E. Moenning, Second Lieuteant John Staude, Recording Secretary J. 8:ang, Fi nancial Secretary C. Andrews, Treasurer H. Goetjen, Sergeant at Arms H. Feyge— Commitiee of arrangements.

MKINLEY IS DISAPPOINTED GORDON, LINCOLN AND LAMONT DECLINE. Dr. Keene and Generals Schofield, Manderson and Saxton Have Accepted Places on the Commission. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: Pres dent McKinley is experienceing diffi- culty in procuring men of prominence to serve on the committee to investi- gate the conduct of the war. Of nine members selected, and whose names were published in the Herald this morning, three have declined to serve, and several others have asked for time to consider the matter. Up to this time only four of the nine are likely to be sure to serve—Dr. W. H. Keene of Philadelphia, Lieutenant General Scho- field, General Manderson and General James Saxton. General J. B. Gordon and former Sec- retaries of War Lincoln and Lamont have declined to serve—all on account of ill-health. The President, I understand, is great- ly disan-ointed bv the letters of decli- nation he has received. He takes the ground that the duty is an important one—as important in a certain sense as a call to arms. He is particularly anxious to make the committee a strong one, and the list which he made un comprises men of such high char- acter as to leave no doubt as to his stncerity of purpose in making the in- vestigation thorough and effective. The War Department had a compar- atively culet day, although the ad- jutant general's office was open throughout the day, expediting the mustering out and furloughing of troops in various sections. General Corbin made his usual call on the President to-night to sum up the de- velopments of the day, but he sald there was nothing of an important character. No word had come from Manila. There are no more volunteer troops at Montauk Point, eleven regiments of regulars bein~ the only troops remain- ing, except those detained in hospitals. General Corbin says Camp Wikoff has practically completed the service for which it was established, but that no final conclusion has been reached yet as to the ordering away the remaining regiments and disposing of the camp. ALGER PLEASED WITH WKINLEY’S SELECTIONS DETROIT, Sept. 11.—Secretary Alger this afternoon expressed himself as well pleased at the President's selection of members of the commision to Investi- gate the condition of the commissary, quartermaster and medical depart- ments of the War Department during the war. On the subject of sickness among the soldlers, General Alger said: “The whole trouble has been in the volunteer troops not knowing how to care for themselves and carelessness in warding off disease. The regular men have not been troubled as the volun- teers have. They have had yellow fever and fevers from exposure in the trenches before Santiago, but their gen- eral health has been good and the pro- portion of sickness and deaths from sickness is very small. “The most stringent orders have been issued in regard to keeping the camps clean. After my tour of inspection, I will go over the whole situation care- fully. and it is possible that a new set of regulations that will be better, may be issued. ‘“The day before I left Washington,” said General Alger, “I called Surgeon General Sternberg into my office and told him I wanted to build winter hos- itals for six thousand men. We will ave our hospitals if we have to raise the six thousand to sixty thousand. They will be located at points where they can be reached by transports, al- though just where, it is not yet deter- mined. One of the hosnitals, however, will be at Havana. It will be built just ag soon as our troops are sent to the island. I do not know what they have in the city in the shape of hospitals now, but I very much doubt if we would want to take any of thelr in- fected buildings for hospitals for our soldiers.” Brigadier General Duffield arrived home to-day from the coast of Maine, where he has been recuperating from illness contracted during the Santiago campalgn. Secretary Alger visited him this evenin CHILE GATHERING DATA REGARPING OUR WAR Making Use of the Lessons It Taught in Preparation for a Clash ‘With Argentina. NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—A Washington speclal to the Herald says: In anticipa- tion of a conflict with Argentina, agents of Chile are scouring all avallable data from American officers regarding their ex- periences in the late war with Spain, in order that the navy of their Government may be benefited by the lessons which it taught. This statement is made on the best au- thority and s an indication of the strain- ed relations existing between _the two countries. It is violating no tonfldence to say that the representatives of Chile, who have been collecting the information, have not walited for the mails to carry what they learned to Santiago, but the cable has been freely used in order that their Go\'r‘r{lment may have all the time possible to {ake advantage of the lessons which the recent war taught. It has been the aim of American officers to impress upon the Chileans the value of gunnery, and while the officiais do not lposmvefy know it, they belleve the Chileans are eng in target practice for the pur- pose of being prepared in the prospective struggle w151 Argentina.

Gunboat Quioros Thought to Have Been Captured by the Ladrone Garrison of Ameri- cans. Private advices have been recelved in this city to the effect that the Caro- line group of islands, which this coun- try contemplated seizing, had war with Spain been prolonged, is probably by this time in the hands of the natives of the group and that the Spanish garri- son is wiped out. The story comes from Honolulu whither it was brought by a small trading schooner which had touched at the Carolines. | Two native kings of the group who had long been at war with each other some months ago declared a truce, combined their forces and began war against the Spanish authorities. The Spaniards were concentrated at Ponape, and it was here that the na- tives made their attack. The blacks attacked with such vigor anl in such numbers that the Spanish were com- pelled to retreat and take shelter in their barracks, which they held. The gunboat Quioros was then dis- patched to Guam for aid. But on ar- riving there she found the American flag floating and the only gunboat on duty at that port missing. The Quioros did not return to Yap In the Caroline group, and it was thought that she was lost. The supposition was that she had gone to “join Dewey” and that the La- drone garrison of Americans have pos- session of her. There were 200 soldiers in Ponape, but they were poorly supplied with am- munition and in no position to resist a prolonged attack. The supposition is that the place was captured and the | Spanish garrison wiped out. The entire group, unless the Span- iards made an unexpected stand, must | be by this time in the possession of the natives. The American missionaries are prob- ably safe, as they stand well with the | natives, who, though they may not love missionaries particularly, love the Americans. The story is confirmed by James Wilder of Honolulu, who recentlv re- turned to Hawail from a tour in the Carolines. He said that at that time | the natives were much discontented and were preparing for a revolt. He also sald that Americans were wel- comed by the natives. RESTORING ORDER IN CRETE.
