BEgaes | 'NO MAKESHIFT COMPROMISE | PERMANENT INCREASE IN REG- | ULAR ARMY DEMANDED. | | As to the McEnery Resolution There Seems Little Chance for Its Passage in the House. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Feb. 15. There is an impression at the Capitol that the administration is bluffing in | threatening to call an extra session if | some kind of an army reorganization bill is not passed at the present session. At the last moment, it is claimed, the administration will back down and ac- cept a makeshift compromise. This is emphatically denied, however, by those who are close to the President. Mr. | McKinley is more determined than ever, they say, to accept no temporary make- shift as a substitute for the army bill, and will surely call an extra session if a bill is not passed at the present ses- | sion providing for a permanent in- crease in the regular army. It is ab- | in his judgment, to enable the Government to meet the new conditions that con- front it. Apparently there is no weakening on the part of Cockrell and Jones and other Democratic Senators who are an- tagonizing the reorganization measure; hence an extra session may be regarded as almost inevitable. Speaker Reed, it is understood, is not likely to interpose any obstacles to the taking of a vote on the McEnery resolu- tion in the House. In fact, if the| Speaker does anything regarding the | resolution it will be to help it along. However, for the present, the fate of | McEnery resolution in the House rests with Chairman Hitt of the For- | eign Affairs Committee. Hitt is a strong administration man, and he will probably be governed to a great extent | | | | matter. So far as is known Mr. McKinley has not expressed any opinion regarding the McEnery resolution. It has been the desire of the administration, however, to be left free to act as it sees fit and not to be hampered by the passage of any resolution declaring a future policy | of the country toward our recent ac- | quired possessions. The McEnery reso- lution is probably as harmless as any resolution on that subject could be, but it is believed the President would pre- fer not to have it passed at this time. If this should prove to be true it is | more than likely that Hitt will be in no | particular haste to report the resolution back to the House. If the resolution should be passed during the last ten | days of the session the President could | But it is in the judgment of a good many people whether the McEnery | resolution can pass the House. It does | not meet the approval of the minority, | and a large number of Republicans do | not believe it will be wise to handicap the President in the slightest degree at this time. HOW THE STEAMSHIP BULGARIA WAS DISABLED Rudder Broke During a Gale and the Vessel Then Sprang a Leak. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—The sailors rescued from the missing steamer Bul- garia of the Hamburg-American line, | | | | 1 | doubtfui | the Azores the latter part of last week, have made a statement before the Ger- | man Consul in Punta del Gada, who | has cabled it to this city: “On February 2, during a severe northwest gale, the rudder broke and | three large and five collapsible boats were borne away. The ship being then without a helm pounded tremendously | and sprang a leak. On the 3d there | was eight feet of water in compartment No. 4 and the ship heeled over to port.

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 15.—The sentence of Stephen Wade was the sentence that fafled. The convict appeared before Su- perfor Judge F. M. Angellotti in habeas corpus proceedings last Monday and to- day his Honor decided that the prisoner Was entitled to s release from San uentin Prison. As the case has been in | the Supreme Court of the State Judge Angellotti's decision will doubtless be re- | plete ‘with interest to the California bar. | Wade was convicted of betrayal and | sentenced by the Superior Court of Santa Clara County to pay a fine of $3000 or | serve 750 days In the State Prison. The | case was before the Supreme Court, the | decision of the lower court was affirmed and Wade went to prison. Last Monday the prisoner appeared be- fore Angellott! on a writ of habeas cor- pus procured by Attorney John E. Rich- ards, who made an excellent plea for his ciient on legal lines. To-day the court decided that a man could not be impri oned in a State Prison for non-payment a fine and Warden Hale was ordered to | release Wade from custody.

MACHINE SHOP DESTROYED FLAMES SWEEP AN OIL-SOAKED BUILDING. Many Fine Patterns and Models of Battleships Lost and the Work of the Yard Greatly Retarded. Special Dispatch to The Cail. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Over a million dollars’ worth of Government property was destroyed by a fire which started to-night in the large machine shop of | | the Brooklyn Navy Yard, known as machine shop No. 28, and the workings of the navy yard have received a seri- | ous setback. Many fine models and patterns of battleships, their parts and plans have been destroyed, and some of them cannot be obtained again except by going over the work mapped out in the beginning. The steam engineering department of the Brooklyn yard is practically wiped out and the work done in that building will have to be thrown temporarily upon the department docks and that of construction and re- pair. The fire was discovered and the alarm given at 6:30 o'clock to-night by the | man on watch of the battleship Massa- | chusetts. The men of the Massachu- setts scurried down to the machine shop about 300 yards away, and with the aid of a hose reel picked up in the yard got a small stream playing on the fire. The building was about 100 feet in width and 325 feet long. It was four stories in height and built of stone and brick. The wood of the inside was thorcughly saturated with oil and the flames rapidly gained headway. It was seen that the Massachusetts’ men could do but little against the blaze and Colonel Huntington, in command of the marines, joined in the work. All the engines in the neighborhood of the navy vard responded to the alarm, but the firemen found the great ma- chine shop completely enveloped in flames and attention had to be paid to the foundry and other buildings in the vicinity. Several times the flames got a start on the foundry roof, but the firemen quickly put them out. A small corrugated iron building in the rear of the machine shop was burned, but the loss on this is insignificant. The fire made such rapid progress in of yards and | SAN JOSE, Feb. 15.—The Rev. Wil- liam D. Crabb never spent a more un- comfortable afternoon in his life than |he did to-day in Judge Kittredge's | courtroom. As chief witness for him- elf, in the divorce suit that has shocked the church-going community of this State, he was, metaphorically speaking, grilled by his wife’s attor- ney, M. C. Hassett. The latter was unmerciful in his inquiries, compelling the reverend gentleman from San Francisco to give a complete history of his past and minutely examining into the evidence he gave on direct ex- amination. This had the effect of making him very weary and the an- nouncement of adjournment was a wel- come relief. Shortly before he was permitted to leave his unenviable seat, the defend- ant’s counsel sprang the sensation of the day. It was in the form of a doc- ument in the handwriting of his wife and, when it was presented to him for perusal, a perceptible tremor passed over him, as it was virtually a con- fession of his affection for Miss Carrie Perry, the choir singer of Gilroy, who under the biblical name of “Esther” was honored with burning thoughts that coursed through the doctor’s pen, {and which he styled “poetry.” —Al- | though the witness remembered hav- ing seen the lines, he was loth to ad- mit authorship. Strenuous objection was made against its admission by At- torney Cobb, for the plaintiff, who ap- preciated the importance of the docu- ment, and the court ruled it out for the present on the ground that there | was not sufficient evidence to show that | the original had ever existed. The | most material parts of this startling | confession of love read as follows: “We both love each other with all the powers of our being, with an all-con- suming love. We wish one another’s company as much as we can have It. We tell one another these things and | express in writing words of affection. * * * But all words and writing are pure. If I should outlive you we may be married, if she still feels as now to« ward me. * * She knows how bar- ren and dead my heart was until sud- denly awakened to life and a depth of love never surpassed. Her love for me | absorbs all her very being. We will | be pure and seek only our good and | not work to harm any one else. Be pa- | tient with us, by the knowledge you | have of an all-consuming love. We beg of you to be patient with us and let us be a comfort to one another.” According to Mrs. Crabb’s counsel, | | REV. DR. CRABB WROTE BURNING WORDS OF LOVE| Alleged Note in Which He Told His Wife of His Infatuation for Miss Perry. MRS. HATTIE CR@BB. the original of this document was writ- ten for the purpose of assuring his wifa that the relations existing between his and Miss Perry, though intimate, were pure; and again, perhaps he had writ- ten it to drive her frantic. The paper | was written, it is said, in Gilroy, and she exhibited it to Crabb’s brother in Pomona, in the presence of her hus- | band. He denies having written the original, of which this paper was a copy. Mrs. Crabb’s counsel intends proving by her and reliable witnesses that he did write the document. They declare he gained possession of the or- iginal and destroyed it. Another feature of the day was a let. ter written to Dr. Crabb by his wite, in which she criticized the trustees of the Methodist church at Gilroy for their action in concurring with Dr. Crabb that it would be best for her to remain in ‘California, it sarcastically dubbing them ‘“sweet Christians of Gilroy, in the influence and power of a lone woman.” The doctor will be on the witness stand again to-morrow to finish his cross-examination and be confronted with the numerous letters to his wife after their separation in January, 1897.

At 1l o’clock the fire had spent itself. Machine shop No. 28 was occupied by the coppersmiths, the boiler-makers, the carpenters and machinists. About 600 people were employed there, but only two watchmen were in the build- ing at the time of the outbreak of the fire. Aside from being filled with a great mass of machinery, more or less used, the building was occupied as a pattern and model shop. Here were kept all the models, plans, drawings and specificaticns of work to be done on any one of the naval vessels that were to be repaired at the yard. Many models of battleships and warships built from time to time were kept there. These were mostly copies of models, and their loss, while footing up considerable from a pecuniary point, will not be irreparable. The steam en- gineering department had a number of elaborate plans which were originated in this yard, and they cannot be Te- | placed. In the machine shop very little work was on hand. A number of small or- ders were being filled for the torpedo- boats McKee, Rogers, Foote and Por- | ter, and some engine fittings were be- ing turned out for the Newark, Scor- pion and Indiana. The records and modeis of the battle- ship Maine, which was blown up in Havana harbor on February 15. 1898, were also destroyed. The loss to the building is placed at $350,000; that on the machinery and lathes in the build- ing at $400,000. The cost of the models and patterns is variously estimated, but officials in the vard put the total loss at a little over $1,000,000. The cause of the fire is unknown as yet. URGES ANNEXATION BY GREAT BRITAIN How a Correspondent Would Settle All the Strife on the Samoan Islands. T1.ONDON, Feb. 15.—The Melbourne cor- respondent of the Times says: The Sa- moan correspondent of the Melbourne Ar- gus writes that the only solution of the difficulties there lies in an immediate an- nexation of the Islands by Great Britain. He says the natives throughout the en- tire group are almost unanimously favor- able to such a step and that it is also ar- dently desired by the British and Amer- ican residents. Failing annexation the complete disarm- ing of the whole population is imper- ative and in the opinion of the corres- fiandem of the Argus the abolition of the ingship is absolutely necessary to pre- 'he r?vfl vent constant disturbances. chiefs, he believes, would be satisfied appolnted to rule thelr own districts at small salarfes.

Otis will be | reinforced by about 7000 men when all the troops now under orders to pro- ceed to Manila reach their destination, | 2o men, including those at Iloilo. | Besides the expected prompt ratifica- | | tion of the Paris treaty by the Spanish | Government will make it necessary to | relieve the volunteer troops and bring | them to the United States. It is there- | | making a total force of about 30,000 | | | | eral regiments in readiness to dispatch to Manila, and the Ninth is the first | selected. | Instructions have been sent to Otis | directing him to instruct Miller to put | in force at loilo the same tariff in ope- | ration at Manila. It is proposed to | place this tariff in force at all ports in | the islands immediately after they are juccupied by American troops. il | Miller's appointment as brigadier | general in the regular army has been | Igreetcd with much satisfaction in army | | circles as indicative of the intention of | ‘the President to reward every omwr{ {and man in the Philippines distinguisn. | ing himself. The authorities are desirous of re-| | warding Otis, and he will probably re- | ceive the brevet of major general in the regular service, he now being se- | nior brigadier general, though holding | a volunteer commission as major gen- eral. There is reason to believe that Gen. | eral Otis would be one of the first of- ficers promoted to the grade of majox general should the army reorganiza- | tion Dbill become a law, and his friends ]‘say that his services entitle him to consideration in connection with the of- | fice of lieutenant general in case that | grade should be revived. It is expected that the board on brevets now in session will be directed to consider the meritorious and gallant services of of- ficers in connection with the campaign against the insurgents. —_—— BARNESON TO MANAGE | THE TRANSPORT FLEET, Official Recognition of the Expert| Handling of the Troopship Arizona. TACOMA, Feb. 16.—Friends of Cap- tain John Barneson of Port Townsend believe that within a few days he will be given the management of the United States transport fleet operating be- tween San Francisco and Manila, with | the title of assistant quartermaster. He | is said to have received the indorse- ments of Admiral Dewey and General Merritt, which were given in conse- quence of Barneson's expert handling of the troopship Arizona last summer. Within five days after the Ari%¥ona's ar- rival at Manila he had her cleared of all soldiers, besides several thousand tons of supplies. This rapid work was in marked contrast with the unloading of the other transports, causing Barne- son’s retention by the Government tol load other troop ships at San Fran-) b cisco. Captain- W. W. Robinson, as- sistant quartermaster, U.'S. A., now in Washington, has strongly recommend- ed Barneson. MILLER PROMOTED TO BRIGADIER OF REGULARS WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The Presi- dent to-day sent these nominations to the Senate: State—Samuel J. Barrows of Massa- chusetts, to be librarian of Congress. Interior—David L. Geyer, Receiver of Public Moneys at Roswell, N. M. ‘War—Regular army, Colonel Marcus P. Miller, Third Artillery, to be brig- adier general; William B. Parker., private, Company B, First Infantry, to be second lieutenant. Colonel Miller commanded the mili- tary force which captured the city of Iloilo without the loss of a man. and his promotion is in recognition of his meritorius service on that occasion. The new brigadier general is a native of Massachusetts, and was graduated from West Point in 1856. He served throughout the Civil War with gal- lantry and was brevetted three times. Later he served on the frontier fizhting Indians. BRUTE FORCE EONQUERED. Elizabeth B. Grannis Deplores the ‘War With Spain. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—At the meeting of the Woman's Council to- day Rev.
