He de- | clared that nobody could tell what new | conditions might arise which would | have to be met, discussed and declded | wholly by the commission. Senator Gray had no idea of the time | it would take to complete the work of the meeting. He said that Spanish | diplomats were not hasty in their work. | Besides the flve American Peace | Commissioners and their retinue of thirty-two persons, there were as pas- sengers aboard the Campania: Count Charles D. Ursell, Belgian Minister of | the Congo Free State; Frank Mack of | the Assoclated Press; Major Maitland- Kirwan; Gustav Miller, a special Bel- glan Commissioner, who has been in- vestigating the higher branches of com- mercial education In the United States, | and James F. Egan, delegate from the Amnesty Commission, and ex-political prisoner in England, who has been chosen sword-bearer to the municipal- ity of Dublin. MORE DETAILS OF THE INSTRUCTIONS W YORK, Sept. 17.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspendent sends the | following: Since the departure of the Peace Commissioners from Washing- ton further details of their instructions | have been allowed to become public. | They are structed to inform Spain | that the terms which the United States insists on as to the Philippines cun- template the occupation of the island | of Luzon by the United States and the control by this Government of (he| other islands of the group. | The extent to which contrel is to be | € d over the islands vatside of { Luzon will depend in a large measure [ upon circumstances. As it was ex-| plained to me to-day, the control which the United States is to exercise might | be described as reversionary. There is to be no cession of sover- eignty by Spain to any other power and the government to be eslablished is to have the full approval of the United States, governing indirectly, through agents who will not non.lnally be officials of the United Stat>s. If this scheme does not work then the islands are to be taken outright by the United ‘States, just as Luzon is to be taken. Advocates of the annexation of the entire group are not entirely sat- isfied with this fallure of the President to instruct his commissioners to take all the islands at once, though they be-" lieve the inevitable result will be the taking of the entire group. PERSONNEL OF THE SPANISH COMMISSION LONDON, Sept. 17.—A special patch from-Madrid: says: The Spanish _peace were appointed to-day. They are Senor Montero Rios, President of the Senate, who is president of the commission; General Cerero and Senors Abnarzuza, Vellarrutia and Garnica. The Spanish .commissian, the dis- patch adds, will start for Paris on Sep- tember 25. CHAMPAGNE FOR THE ILLII0IS CHRISTENING SPRINGFIBLD, TilL,"Sept.’ 17.-Gov- ernor Tanner has decided that the bat- tleship Illinois shall be cliristened in champagne, and to-day sent a_letter to Mrs. Matilda B. Carse, Jessie Brown Hilton and Helen L. Wood, the commit- tee of the Woman's Christian Temper- | ance Union, who protested against christening the battleship with wine, notifying them of his decision. After assuring the ladies of his ap- preciation of the great good accom- plished through the W. C. T. U., the Governor says: “In the matter, how- ever, of following the time-honored cus- tom_of christening battleships there is no desecration of the laws of temper- ance. The ceremony is not one from which any evil could possibly be set forth and the most sacred religious or- dinance, the ‘Sacrament,’ which the world confmemorates with deepest sol- emnity and honor, Is one in which wine 48 used as a symbol. Therefore, I dis- miss the subject as one unworthy of so much agitation. TIf left to me, the battleship Tilinois will be christened ac- cording to the time-honored custom.” ek e Fatal Draught Taken by Mistake. SANTA ROSA, Sept. 17.—Mrs. John Martin of Sebastopol is dying as a re- sult of drinking some blueing from a cup in mistake for something else.

ANAHEIM, Sept. 17.—The Anaheim Republicans assisted by a ..-ge dele- gation from Santa Ana fired their first | political gun in the campaign to-night. | | Preceded by the Santa Ana drum corps | and followed by the Anaheim band a | large procession led the way to the decorated bandstand at the City Park, where the enthusiastic 2000 spectators welcomed with prolonged cheers the | speaker of the evening, Hon, James C. | Needham, Republican candidate for Congress. Carefully avoiding the use of personal | abuse he commenced his arraignment as a recent political invention, and stat- ed that the platforms of the Populists and Democrats represented two ex- tremes. By study the Democratic party has been known as a conservative party whose ylanks were made up of resolutions of objections against any* | thing the Republican party attempted | to do, while the Populist party was or- | ganized to reform certain abuses and was eminently a radical party. Further the Democrats were not justified in uniting with the Populists in a fixed | state at Sacramento because of unequal representation. From 1861 to 1893 was a period which Mulhaill says represents a remarkable increase in material progress, and the Republicans were in power at that time. The speaker said that a great crisis having been successfully passed, and with the enormous administrative responsibility about to follow, it would be inopportune to tie the President's hands by an_antagonistic Congress. | The late war had taught us to keep a reasonably large standing army and an adequate navy and coast defense. The San Pedro harbor would be completed by the Republicans and the Nicaragua | canal commenced. For these reasons | he stood squarely on the platform of 1896 and the State convention. | Major C. W. Kyle in a pleasant and eloquent speech showed how in the late war our Republican President by ad- hering to Republican principles had firmly cemented the United States as a whole, while the fused party of every “ism” represented by platforms of am- algamated errors would be sidetracked for the grand old party and its faithful adherents. IN TIME T0 STOP HER OWN FUNERAL Special Dispatch to The Call. MIDDLEBORO, Mass., Sept. 17.—The vietim of the Bridgeport, Conn., murder, Miss Marian Grace Per- kins, arrived at her home this after- noon in the best health to the great joy of the family and the unbounded astonishment of the entire community. Her father was not in town, for at the time of his daughter’s. arrival he was on his way back from Bridgeport with the gruesome remains which he had identified as those of Grace, and for which the funeral arrangements, in- cluding the digging. of the grave, had already been completed. Miss Perkins came from Providence, R. I, and was accompanied by her lover, Charles Bourne, and at first it| was stated that the couple had been | married. This was afterward denied | by young Bourne’s uncle. So unex- pected was the coming of Mliss Perkins and young Bourne that outside of Mr. | Thompson and one or two friends who | had been previously notified, there were | very few at the railorad station when the train came in. The young lady, however, was imme- diately recognized by the bystanders at the station, and the news spread around the town with incredible rapid- ity. There was a large crowd at the gate as the young lady stepped from the carriage and ran into the house. Just across the street from the Perkins house is a litfle cemetery, and only this merning, in response to the request of the uncle of Miss Perkins, a grave had been dug by the sexton in the family lot, and the new earth thrown up be- side it could be plainly seen from the house. Half an hour after Miss Per- kins’ arrival home a local undertaker’s wagon drove up to the house, and in it was the coffin which had been ordered by the family. The funeral arrange- ments had ‘even gone so far that’the family minister. had been notified and asked to conduct the service. At the Perkins home to-night an uncle of the young wcman, in the ab- sence of her father, gave out the fol- lowing statement: “We think that Grace and Charles Bourne have been married as they have been off on frequent trips during the past two or three months. Grace knew nothing of the sensation until yester- day morning, when she read of it in a paper. She sent a letter to her mother only ten days ago, but thg lat- ter never recelved it.” Later in the evening Miss Perkins herself, after many importunities, con- sented to speak, but all she sald was: “I am glad to be here, alive, truly alive, and it is truly me.” Mr. Perkins arrived from Taunton about 10 o’clock and drove to the Per- kins house. The meeting between father and daughter was affecting. Late to- night it was reported that Mr. Perkins was very ill. BRIDGEPORT, Sept. 17.—The news that Miss Perkins had returned to her home in Middleboro was received with incredulity at first, so general wns the bellef that the identity of the body had been established. That no doubt existed in the minds of the officials as to the identification is apparent from the fact that the death certificate has been filed and everything official in connec- tion with the death of “Grace Perkins” has been complied with. Superintend- ent of Police Birmingham said to- night: “I was satisfled that the dead woman was not the original of the pho- j 1 i | DEWEY'S FLEET 1S DEMOLISHED A Constable Is Greater Than Montijo. RUDE RAID OF OFFICERS TROUBLES OF THE BATTLE OF MANILA COMPANY. Show Closed by Attachment Suits and One of the Managers Is Under a Criminal Charge. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 17.—Dewey's fleet suffered the indignity to-night of being plled up in half a dozen trucks and carted down the streets to a ware- hour>, where it was stacked up in sec- tions. A township constable and ten armed deputies overcame the defenders of the fleet, accomplishing in three hours a feat which Admiral Montijo found impossible. Last Monday the Battle of Manila Company came up from San Francisco and announced a week’'s engagement at the Snowflake Baseball Park. Trouble arose at the outset. Two at- tachments .or something like $60 were placed on the concern by laborers who claimed to have unpaid bills for work done in San Francisco. They were con- ciliated, but the show was unable to go on for some reason or other and hun- dreds were turned away from the gates. Nightly thereafter, however, the show was produced and the ears of the in- habitants have been regularly shocked as the reports—of the demolition of Cavite and the Spanish squadron rolled over the house tops. But the internal troubles would not down before the splendor of the nightly pyrotechnics. Ed Kripp, who had rented the park, wanted his $50 ver night taerefor; the New York Kitchen demanded $15 25 for coffee and doughnuts furnished to the Manila forces; F. O. Sternberg claimed $40 95 for labor. and an attachment was levied on the concern for the restaurant and . laborers’ bill, George Adams, George C. Lang, W. G. Misner, W. G. Stevens and W. F. Dunphy, all of San Francisco, being made defendants to the suit. Constable Whitney informed the managers last night that he wonld shut them down if they did not settle, but they declined to take him seriously. Late this afternoon, while the ships were lying at anchor and the crews were down town, Whitney armed him- self and ten deputies, got some trucks, and proceeded out to the scene of bat- tle. He took down one after the other of the ships and placed them on the trucks. While he and his men were so engaged the managers of the produc- tion arrived with some helpers, and there was a show of fight, which Whit- ney was soon «ble to subdue. So there is no show to-night and war’s rude alarms will no longer affright the air. To make matters worse W. A. Cas- well, a bill poster, has sworn to a criminal eomplaint, charging that George Adams, one of the managers, obtained $60 from him by false pre- tenses. Two of the attachment suits placed on the .oncern were brought by a lumberman for $60 and the drayman who hauled out the ships and the Ca- vite arsenal to Snowflake Park. The suits aggregate $700.

BARBADOES LOSES HEAVILY MAY BE TERRIBLE SUFFERING IN THE WEST INDIES. An Appeal to England for Help in Caring for the Thousands of Homeless People Meets Prompt Response. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 17.—De- tails of the hurricane, which are con- stantly coming in, show the disaster to have been infinitely worse than was at first expected. The destruction at Bar- badoes was fully equal to that at St Vincent, while St. Lucia also suffered considerably. The island of Barbadoes, presenting practically a flat surface, was complete- ly swept by the vortex of the cyclone, the result being that the entire area of cultivation was obliterated, while a majority of the residences and other buildings were destroyed, and two- thirds of the dense population of 160 to the square mile were rendered home- less. The population was seeking shel- ter at Bridgetown, and other centers, only to find them little more than masses of ruins. The consequent dis- tress is unparalleled in the history of the West Indies, and the Governor has cabled that instant and continuous outside relief is absolptely necessary in order to avert widespread famine and possibly a resultant pestilence. The actual extent of fatalities has not yet been ascertained, owing to the ex- tent of ‘he ruin wrought throughout the island. Apparently the damage in St. Lucia was comparatively less enor- mous, although very serious. Many plantations and houses were destroyed, temporarily paralyzi in- dustry. The loss of life in St. Lucia was comparatively small. No estimate otblhe shipping casualties is yet pos- sible. LONDON, Sept. 17.—Queen Victoria has sent to the Governor of Barbadoes a message of sympathy with the suf- ferers from the hurricane and the Secretary of State for the colonies, Mr. Chamberlain, has also forwarded to him a sympathetic message from the United States, where Mr. Chamberlain is now on a visit. The Governor of Barbadoes has renewed his appeal for aild. He cables that three-fourths of the people are without shelter or food and that they are crowding into the populous centers, which, he expiains, will not accommodate their own inhab- itants. Cargoes of food have been or- dered to supply the wants of the suf- ferers and the relief must be contin- uous and must be kept up for a long time to come. PRISON DIRECTORS MEET. Pardons Recommended, Paroles and Punishments. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 17.—At the meeting of the State Prison Directors at Folsom to-day the pardon of Willlam R. Melville was recommended to the Governor. Melville was sent from San Francisco in 1894 for eight years for embezzlement of moneys of the Cali- fornia Bank. His pardon was asked for by General Barnes, Superior Judge Belcher and many of the leading citi- zens of the city, who believe him to have been sufficlently punished and have confidence in him. The Governor was asked to cut off thirty-two days from the term of I H. Fidler, sent from San Francisco for grand larceny. He was kept that long as a witness in the City Jail. He will g0 out on Oc: ber 13 if the Governor commutes. The board paroled Mike L. Hanney, sent from Sacramento for burglary; James Lee Kings County, burglary, and Cha les A. Burge, Fresno, robbery. Taese have all been exemplary prison- ers and employment awalits them in their old homes. All of Convict Willlam Downing's credits, were taken away because of his assaulting a prisoner with an iron bar and Convict Fred J. Curtls lost three months’ credits for having a big knife on his person to cut an enemy. Mother Dies, but the Children Live.

COUNTY TO BE STUMPED GAGE WILL BE EARNESTLY SUPPORTED. But No Opportunity Will Be Missed to Secure the Defeat of the Gang’s County Can- didates. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 17.—The Good Gov- ernment League to-day decided to con- duct a campaign independent of all other parties and affiliations and do everything possible to secure the elec- tion of Gage and the rest of the Re- publican State ticket. The organiza- tion will stand by the State ticket and the principles of Republicanism, but so far as the county ticket is' cencerned they will vote, solely for anti-gang men. Judge J. R. Lewis and others have volunteered to stump the entire county for Gage and the Republican State ticket and make a personal ght against the Republican county ticket nominated by the Rea convention. The campaign will be a warm one in Santa Clara County. The Realtes are sore over ‘Austin’s defeat for nomina- tion for Secretary of State and willede- vote their main energies to the support of the ringsters on their gounty ticket. Respectable Republicans will leave nothing undone to insure the success of the State ticket, but they will not take the county ticket, which is gang from top to bottom. The fusion ticket put up by the Good Government League, Populists and Democrats will receive these votes. The campaign to be conducted by the Good Government League will be sys- tematic and thorough. The principles of the party will be advocated in every precinct of the county and people will be waited upon personally and asked to support Gage and the entire State Re- publican ticket. The masses will be educated along these lines, while at the same time a vigorous warfare will be conducted against Rea and his ticket. Committees will be appointed to han- dle the campalign, and the State at large can rest assured that the Repub- lican Good Government League will help to make Gage's election certain by giving the ticket a good majority in this county. The county central committee of the Good Government League to-day de- cided not to nominate an independent legislative ticket in this county. James H. Campbell, Democratic nominee for District Attorney, was in- dorsed by the committee and his name will be placed upon the Good Govern- ment ticket. BALTIMORE AND OHIO OFFICIALS - CONFER CINCINNATI, Sept. 17.—The Balti- more and Ohio officlals arrived here to- day from Chicago, the party including Receivers John K. Cowen and Oscar G. Murray, General Manager William M. Greene, F. W. Wilshire, M. B. Will, E. A. Walton and George M. Schriever of Baltimore. About the same time President E. R. Bacon, Vice President Peabody, John ‘Walker and other officials of the Balti- more and Ohio Southwestern, arrived from New York. The officials of these sister lines were in close conference during the forenoon at the St. Nicholas and during the afternoon at the gen- eral office of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern. President Bacon made a statement which confirmed the re- ports about the sale of the road, but Receivers Cowen and Murray insisted that they were the agents of the court for the custodv and operation of the railway, and not for its sale, and that they could not say anything regarding the recent sale or the future manage- ment or anything relating to the future proceedings through the court. They would neither affirm nor deny the re- ACTVITY AT THE NAVY-VARD 1 g | Large Force of Men Kept | at Mare Island.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. VALLEJO, Sept. 17.—Despite the fact | that the war is over there is still a large | force of men at work on Mare Island. | The names of over 1750 men are carried on the roils, and in some departments this force is being increased. The ves- sels undergoing repairs are well ad- vanced, it being the evident intention of the authorities to have them all cleared up this fall so there will be nothing to | interfere with the repairs to the shi of Admiral Dewey's squadron when the | situation at Manila permits their return to the United States. | In addition to the repair work and the building of a tug for the Puget Sound naval station, orders have been received to build ninety-six launch en- gines, which will be used in launches in all parts of the world. This order, which has been given Mare Island in preference to the Kastern yards, is a | high tribute to the ability of Mare | Island mechanics. The work on the famous old Hartford | is going ahead favorably. The new shoe is in place and fastened to the dead- | wood. The propeller has been placed on | the shaft in the last two days and is all secured. The new rudder wiil be in place within a week. | The engine beds are in position, near- | ly ready to receive the machinery. The boiler saddles are also in place and the work of holsting the four boilers into | the ship will begin to-morrow. The boilers are now lying alongside tae dock. The training-ship Adams is now prac- tically finished, with the exception of | the battery, which has not yet aicived from the East. There is no deilnite knowledge as to when it will com=. Quite a force of men are busy on ihe vessel flnishing up odds and ends. 1f desired the ship can be placed in com- mission within ten days, ready iu all respects except ,the battery. About eighty men are employed on the Ranger and are making goud progress. A big force is scaling the suip below d:cks. The beams for the new hurricane deck | are in position and a portion of the stee] | deck has already been laid. The engine | beds and foundations for the boiler sad- dles are already in place and the ma- chinery will be hoisted on board as soon as the dredger moves away from the | big shears. Up at the steam enginecr- | ing department the men are putting the valves and other fittings on the bcil- ers. | The new corrugated iron bulkhsads | on the Yorktown, which are to repiace the old wooden partitions, are well ad- vanced. The new spar deck has been laid and the gun beds are in place. The new masts, which are about com- pleted, will be stepped next week. It is believed that the natty little gunboat will be ready for commission in about a month. The work on the new tug for the Port Orchard station is going ahead at a very fast rate. Nearly all the plates are | fitted, and they will all be riveted dur- ing the next week. The steel deck- house is well along, and the work of | laying the wooden deck will be com- | menced this week. The transverse bulk- | heads are riveted and the foundations | fon the engine and boilers are nearly ready. So far as the construction de- partment is concerned the tug can be launched early in October, by which time the steam engineering department will probably have the thrust and tail shafts and propeller in place. Captain Charles S. Cotton, the new captain of the yard, will report for duty at the end of this month, and Commo- dore J. C. Watson, the new command- ant, will arrive during October. Com- mander J. B. Brice, who has been act- ing as commandant since the death of Rear-Admiral Kirkland last month, re- ceived orders to-day ordering him to ports as to what was done at the |return home as soon as Captain Cotton meeting in Chicago yesterday. reports as his relief.
