THE RING HAD 10 LENGTHEN THE PRICES Slack Business at In- gleside. FAST VENTORO WINS AGAIN MARPLOT CAPTURES ANOTHER 7 PURSE. Bernardillo Finished in Front of His Field—Pat Morrissey’s Ad- mirers in Clover—Cabrillo Was Beaten. Good prices were obtainable against the different winners at Ingleside track yes- ably pocketed that the ring made instead of losing money. Three of six choices won, but they were lost sight of in the rush to get aboard what the wise set were playing. In the opening event for two-year-olds, Ventoro, on his recent runs, looked the best, but his odds drifted back from 3 to 2 to 5 to 2 and higher. With Eddie Jones on his back, he made all the run- ning, and won at ease from Los Medanos. It got about that it was the day for Espionage, and there was a stiff play on Ezell's filly. She finished fourth, behind the outsider Casdale. The original second race was declared off and a seven furlong selling affair sub- stituted. The crowd settled on Lost Girl as the probable winner, but she seemed | unequal to the task with Bullman in the points. The uncertain Marplot, against which the ring laid 6 and 7 to 1, got through next the rail at the head of the | stretch, winning leisurely from Judge Stouffer. The mile and a quarter run was some- thing in the nature of a cake walk for Bernardillo, ridden by E. Jones. The hooded horse cut out the pace, and hav- ing nothing to_beat, galioped in two lengths before Personne in 2:08%. Red Glenn found the route too far.

Scott Personally Superin- | tends the Launching Arrange- | ments of the Battleship Next Saturday. There is a" bright prospect for the me- chanics and other workmen at the Union Iron Works for the next two years, Jus as soon as the Wisconsin is launched next Saturday morning the Ohio will be started on the same slip. Yesterday Irv M. Scott personally superintended ihe laying of the ways under the Wis- consin’s keel over which she will glide into the waters of the bay at 9:30 o’clock next Saturday morning. The Ohio will be the largest vessel ever built on_the Pacific Coast, her tonnage will be_12,500, 1000 tons in excess of that of the Wisconsin and 2000 more than the Oregon; her Jength will be twenty feet more than the Wisconsin, while the draft —twenty-three feet—is the same. The Wisconsin is expected to make sixteen knots, wehreas the Ohio will have to make eighteen before her acceptance by the Government. On slip No. where Admiral Dewey’s flagship. the Olympia, and the San Fran- cisco were built, the Keel of the Wyoming will be laid as soon as Irving M. Scott receiv official instructions from the Navy Department in Washington re- garding the contemplated change of plans in the construction of the vessel. In ad- dition to these two vessels the . nion Iron Works has contracts for quite a number of smaller craft for the United States Government, among whichare the Preble, Paul Jones and Perry, three torpedo boats of 400 tons capacity. ————— MHospital Free Bed Fund. _There will be 280 contribution boxes of the Red Cross Soclety placed in the dif- Monday.

The proceeds of the boxes will be de- voted "to the free bed fund of four local hospitals—the Home for Incurables, the Hospital for Children, the California Women's Hospital and the Mount Zion Hospital. For some time the management of the hospitals has maintained its free | beds with much difficulty, and this means | of relief will doubtless meet with libe?al public patronage.

The Filipinos are getting even on the Spanish prisoners for all that Spain ever did to them. 1 have seen some that are walking skeletons. The insurgents send them to small towns and turn them loose. The natives are hostile to them, and _the result is slow -starvation. Over in Bakoor, a telegraph station between here and Manila, were fourteen of these prisoners when I was there and one of the men in the station told me there had been quite a number starved to death.

In the mail which arrived on the Ari- zona yesterday there are evidences of the | kicker—the kicker that swells with self- 'lmporlance when he can find a paper yel- Jow enough to publish his rot—and ‘the | strange part of it to me is the fact that papers encourage such stuff. They will send broadcast reports almost libelous in character against men who stand high in their own communities and create or at- tempt to create an impression that many of our commanding officers are second only to the inhuman Spaniards in the treatment of their men, Some of tne at- tacks upon Colonel Kessler are out- rageous. One report from Honolulu stated that he had remained in his stateroom, utterly ignoring the wants and necessities of the men, and finally Colonel Wallace came to the rescue. The colonel com- manding, like some Plght or_ten hundred of the kickers on board the Pennsylvania, {s possessed of a stomach that Is not proof against seasickness, and for the first few days he was necessarily confined to his gtateroom, while the more fortunate lieu- tenant colonel and the majors escaped entirely. To feed 1400 men upon a vessel with cooking capacity for 900 is quite a prob- jem, and it could not be worked out with satisfaction to all the first week out from port. The steamship company agreed to do the cooking for all, and it was reason- able to suppose that they knew what they were undertaking, as it was directly in thelr line, and they received something over $800 upon arrival here just for that work. Of course it was soon apparent that they could not handle it, so a detall was made from the command to assist in the kitchen. Night cooks were put into the kitchen and the men made to cut up meat, pare potatoes and onions and po- lice the boat. When the men recovered their appetites they were not satisfied with the regular rations, and upon a number of occasions the men_ clamored for more to eat, and Colonel Kessler or- dered it cooked for them, and he had to pay for the excess himself. Not only that —-some of t.e company commanders re- fused to pay the steamer cooks the sixty- three cents per man for the trip agreed upon, and Colonel Kessler had to put up for that, too. You know a trip of that kind is hard under ordinary conditions, and upon a troopship it is bound to be much harder. When the system was finally mastered the food began to taste of the ship and the men were tired of Government rations, and the kicking continued. I read some of the kicks from the troops at Tampa and do not sympathize with them at all—they are all kickers alike. 1 am glad to Sflg that the men that have been accustomed to living well in private life were the last to com- plain. UNDESIRABLE CONTRACTORS. Building Trades Council to Make a Fight Against Certain Mfll- Owners. . The Building Trades Council has a knife out for mill-owners who have been taking contracts for outside work and breaking the trade regulations. The legitimate contractors only work their men eight hours a day, but {n mills all men work nine hours. It was re- ported at last night's mee(ing of the council that James Young, who owns a mill at Howard and Folsom streets, had mill at Beale and Missioin streets, had taken a contract and was Wworking his own millhands nine hours a day on the job. The matter will be brought to the attention of the contractors in the Build- ers’ Exchange to-day, and their assist- ance will be asked in the systematic fight Which the council will wage against this class of bidders. —_—— Plans for the Charity Bazaar.
