Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NORFOLK, Va., March 9.—The story of how the United States monitor Am- phitrite, commanded by Captain Bar- clay, narrowly escaped from possible destruction by an explosion leaked out here to-day. The monitor arrived in Hampton Roads on March 1 from the | Boston navy yard, which place she left on February 24. She had not proceed- ed far from Boston when it was as- certained that the parts of her machin- ery overhauled at the Boston yard had been improperly put together. The necessary repairs were made and all went well until the monitor was off ndy Hook, where she put in to es- cape rough weather. While at anchor there the machinist accidentally discovered that the pipes leading from the salt water evapora- tors through the bilge to the boilers were leaking badly. He reported his discovery and. an investigation was hurriedly made. The bilge was found WILL PL AY AND SING AT HER OWN DEATH SERVICE PRETTY FARCE OF INSPECTING THE PACKING HOUSES Chicago Contractors Had Ample Time to Prepare the Play and it Works CHICAGO, March 9.—The Court of Inquiry to examine the beef question to-day began its work in this city, where are located the packers who held the contracts for supplying the army with animal food. Two of the members, Brigadier General George W. Davis and Lieutenant Col- | onel George R. Davis, the judge advo- cate and recorder, reached here Wednesday night and the other two members, Major General James F. Wade and Brigadier General George L. Gillespie, arrived this morning. A short executive session was held at the army headquar in the Pull- man building, and it resulted in a de- cision to defer the taking of testimony until after an inspection had been made of the packing houses at the stock yards, where the refrigerated beef and canned beef are prepared. The court began in the killing room. The next place visited was the cooling room Here were found several halves of beef which had been condemned, either be- cause the beef was badly bruised or gave evidence that the animal had had tuberculosis. Thi yndemned beef had been placed v itself, and while the court was present men came in to r move it to the réndering tanks, prepa tory to turning it into fertilize; The court examined these tanks carefully, possibly in view of the statement that the carcasses passed through them There certainly was no evidence of such passage. - From this room the court was taken to the one in whicH the meat prepared for canning and saw the men at work cutting up the meat.

REBEL INCENDIARIES g LAND AT PANDACAN MANILA, March 10 (11:25 a. m.).— Rebel incendiaries landed at the vil- lage of Pandacan last night for the purpose, it is alleged, of terrorizing | those of the inhabitants who do not sympathize with the insurrection.

Special Dispatch to The Cali. March 9.—Oriental The Chung TACOMA, Wa advices just rec h., ed state: King correspondent of the North China | Daily News sends the following thrill- ing story of Pere Fleury's captivity, as related by himself: “On the 17th of January Yu Mantze surrounded by the Fantai’s troops. His escape was impossible, so he came to me and told | me to get away to the imperial troops at once as the Fantai had promised him and his followers their lives if they | delivered me up safely. I started away immediately, Yu Mantze accompanying me. We had not gone many li before we were overtaken by about 200 of Yu's men, who wished to kill me, and would have done so but for the earnest exhor- tations of Yu. He explained how the Fantai had promised them their lives and liberty if they delivered me up, how that if they killed me they would be destroyed, and firally how the coun- try would be invaded by a foreign army and they would be exterminated. Yu's councils prevailed and the 200 would-be murderers turned themselves into my bodyguard and escorted me to the out- posts of the imperial troops. “Yu's men, a month ago, numbered 8000, but he has only about 2000 now, the Fantai having struck fear into their hearts; 300 were killed in the big fight a short while ago. I was treated kindly during the whole of my captivity; any man Yu heard reviling me he knocked down. Yu was afraid to kill me, al- though I invited him to do so. He car- ried me around from city to city and made me witness the murder of many Christians. One old man who was 65 vears of age was murdered before my eyes. Yu is backed up by local officials and the gentry, the latter helping him considerably with money, the former by shutting their eyes.” Pere Fleury is only 29 vears of age and has been in China but three years, severi months of which he has spent in captivity. ENGINEERS AT HONGLULU TO BE CALLED HOME WASHINGTON, March 9.—Four com- panies of the Second United States Vol- unteer Engineers, comprising those at Honolulu, are shortly to be called home. | They have been on duty there since the outbreak of the Spanish war. They have been maintained at Honolulu and the engineer troops will be relieved either by four companies of the Twenty- fourth Infantry (colored) now in Utah, or by two or more batteries of the Sixth Artillery. The batteries of the Sixth Artillery are now in Manila and the remainder of the regiment now dis- tributed along the Atlantic Coast under orders to proceed there. Although not yet settled it ig probable two .or more of these batteries will be utilized for military service in Hawaii. In .that case they will be detached from the expedition on its way to the Philippines. General Shafter, commanding the De- partment of California, has been in- formed that the Sixth Artillery may be utilized for this service and ‘has been instructed to recruit the regiment to its maximum strength. plants of the | BT QD QOO0 Smoothly. | room visited was the canning depart- ment.

Special Dispatch to The Call WILKESBARRE, Pa., March 9.—Ed- | w ard F. Bogart, Postm of Wilkes- | barre, was arrested to-day, charged with tampering with the United States mails. About two months ago several | complaints were lodged with the postal authorities at Washington that mail was disappearing and when received hore evidence of having by a steaming process. The postal au- thoritie bsequently detailed two Se- cret Service men on the case under orders Inspector Gorman. Last of night after the mail of the Baltimore and Washington express arrived and had it 11 been distributed, Bogart ‘entered ters from the boxes and then go into his private office and carefully draw the curtain. A few minutes later a detective who s acting as clerk turned out an elec- light in t re being a signal to two other secre service men who were stationed out- side. The man on the inside carefully admitted his associat, one of whom was Hugh Gorman. 'he two men went at once to Bogart's private office and without the ceremony of knocking entered and found the postmaster seated at his desk, on which lay the let- ters addressed to prominent business men in this city, and all of them opened. The postmaster was surprised and not a little excited for a few mo- s, but soon recovered his com- He was later escorted to. his home by the secret service men, where a warrant for his arrest was subse- quently served. He was taken before United States Commissioner Hahn, where he gave bail in $4000 for his ap- pearance later. Mr. Bogart, besides being editor of the Evening Leader of this city, is a member of a large number of lodges |and for the.past ten or twelve years has been an active member of the base- 11 association, a brother of the late Joseph K. Bogart, a gentleman who was prominent in Democratic county and State politics and at the time of his death was Postmaster. Postmaster Bogart would not be in- terviewed, but in his paper, the Even- ing Leader, to-night, appears the fol- lowing: “There are always two sides to a question and when there are three or four fellows, and one or two in par- ticular, elamoring for a political of- fice and hungry for the emoluments attached thereto, there are sure to be schemes worked and plans formed to entrap the incumbent, cause his re- moval and punish him otherwise. even if nothing further than the annovance and chagrin that the accomplishment of their devilish underhand work im- poses. When the diabolical schemers are fully shown up and their nefarious trickery exposed there is a question as | to which side will furnisn the raciest reading.” The inference to be drawn from the above is that Bogart imagined himself the victim of a conspiracy to oust him from the Postmastership, and in order to discover the conspirators he opened letters addressed to Republican poli- ticians.

All the excitement, how- ever, will end in smoke and the par- don of Dreyfus.” The Paris correspondent of the Daily News, who secured the interview, says: ‘There {s a curious connecticn between this statement by Esterhazy and a statement made by M.

EXPULSION THREATS State Department Has Informed Great Britain and It Is Hoped Intruders Will Be Called Cff. » Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 9.—The Herald's Washington correspondent sends the following: There is grave danger of an armed collision between American and Canadian miners in the Porcapine River region on the boundary between Alaska and British territory. This part of the Alaska boundary is not in any diplomatic dispute. Tt is defined clearly by treaty and follows the 141st meridian of west longitude. The location of this meridian and of the boundary is merely a matter of sur- reying. A surveying party sent out by the United States some years ago to co-operate with the Canadian party in locating the 14lst meridian fixed the point at which the meridian crosses the Porcupine River. The Canadian sur- veyors did not get over this part of the | line, but it is probable that if they had they would have located the meridian practically in the same place as that determined on by the Americans, as wherever the two surveys covered. the same ground they practically coincided Despite the fact that the location of the boundary has thus been determined beyond any reasonable doubt the Can- adians have encroached six miles or more on the American side, where they claim the right to stake claims and search for gold, and deny the same right to Americans. The Americans have threatened to expel the Canadians by force, and it is feared that a con- flict may be brought on. The situation so serious that upon information contained in a letter from Governor Brady of Alaska to the Sec- retary of the Interior the Secretary of State has called the attention of the British Government to the action of the Canadians and has asked to have them recalled to their own territory. It is not believed that the British Government has in any way supported the trespassers, but it has been sug- gested that the Canadian Colonial Gov- | ernment, which has shown a disposition to disregard the rights of the United States even to the extent of clashing with the home government in London, | has probably connived at the action of the Dominion miners. It has, the offi- cials think, perhaps secretly encouraged the ‘Canadian miners with a view of claiming rights in the Porcupine region which would only ‘he conceded in re- turn for a port and the cession of ter- ritory in the southern part of Alaska | so as to give an entrance to the Klon dike from the Pacific through British territory. It is believed here that Great Britain will recall the Canadians, and it is hoped this will be done before any trouble occur: No Senator From Utah.
