MILES, accompanied by his wife and daughter, his niece, Miss Hoyt, his aid de camp, Colonel Michler and B. Frank Hall of Philadelphia, arrived in this city last evening on the train from Portland, Oregon, and s now at the Palace Hotel, where he will remain until Monday or Tuesday next. General Miles is here on a tour of princlpal military posts of the West. He has just completed an inspection of the defenses at the mouth of the Columbia River, and after visiting the Presidio and the fortifications on the different islands in the bay, he will e to look at the works at San Diego and return thence to Washington via cumstances were he declined to answer, saying that nothing more on that matter. To-night the Loyal Leglon will give a reception and supper at the Ocei- dental Hotel, at which General Miles will be the guest of honor. Nearly all the army and navy officers in or near the city are expected to attend and the result will be one of the largest military entertainments that has ever taken place in San Francisco. OO0 VRO LR O 8 inspection, which embraces all The general was met on his arrival here by Colonel Maus and Captain Wilson of General Shafter's staff, who extended to the distinguished soldier To-day will be spent in the inspection of Angel Island, Alcatraz and the different military posts about the bay, and to-morrow the general will visit the Presidio, look at power guns have been recently mounted, give his attention to the camps, bar- racks, and in fact to everything pertaining to the discipline, efficiency of the troops now there and will finish the day by reviewing all the soldiers, volunteers and regulars, who are either stationed at the Presidio, staying there en route to the Philippines or on their way to after having done their share of campaigning amid the the new defenses where the fever When seen at his hotel last night the general positively refused to pass any’ criticism on the campaign in the Philippines or on the probability of General Otis being relleved by General Merritt or some’ other officer. gard to the probability of the new volunteer mustered into the regular army the general said that These new regiments were merely raised to meet an emergency and when the emergency had disappeared the regi disappear with it. He said that he could not exactly say what army reorganization would take, but he did not think that now on their way to the Philippines would be maintained after their term of enlistment had expired. This does away with the hope of getting into the regular army for many of the new officers who have beén figuring on even- tually enjoying the prestige that is supposed to go with the uniform of the regiments In a recent speech the general sald that peace in the Philippines was pos- ‘When asked last evening what these cir- to say he preferred the high comfort and their homes Infested In re- being _eventually in his opinion such ants would Wies the new the regiments o O QWG LORO RO 0 RONCO WHO IS NOW SO0 L0 LR VLD LIOLORALINR GIDLIRIRG ROLIRORLR GROGRGRONIO | R0 SOOI ORI ORULIORORIC RORSOORCNS DR LTOR GRG KON S | Burglar.

His true name is Frank Ballard, | but he is'known under several aliases. During the past few weeks a number | of houses in the Western Addition have | been entered by Ballard, and prop | valued at over $1000 taken. After an | vestigation the detectives suspecte¢ Bal- lard and they concluded to watch him. Last evening he was seen to enter an | auction house on Kearny street, near ale some diamords | which he had . The detectiv: after waiting until he had concluded tne bargain, ertered the store and placed | him under arrest. He was at once taken headquarters and placed in the | ding further investigation. 3 auctioneer, when questioned, readily admitted that Ballard had been in the habit of visiting his place of bu ness and offering for sale various ticles of jewelry and silverware. /s ago purchased from him | diamonds, which were identified by the | detectives as being a portion of the prop- erty_ta from a private resiuence in | the Western Addition. In addition to t.e | stolen gems the detectiv ind in the | store a quantily of silverwars articles of jewelry and several ~ otgur all of which had been stolen by Balla and sold by him for about one-ténth their value. The stolen property was removed to police headquarters, and to-day efforts | will be made to have the artic identified. | | Ballard is not unknown to the police. Some time ago he and a_companion vis- | ited a saloon on Third street, and after | enting that they were commercial | ers, induced the aged proprietor to have a drink with them. While his atten- tion was temporarily distracted Ballard, it is claimed, slipped a ‘knockout drop into his glass. The unsuspecting victim, after wishing the two strangers ‘‘good luck,” drank the drugged whisky. Shortly | efward he became unconscious, and Was carried into a rear room by the des- | perate pair. They then opened the till and got away with the contents, amount- ing to $3250. Both men were arrested for the crime, but were afterward acquitted, as the prosecution failed to establish a case, A few weeks later Ballard robbed a printer of a gold watch after drugging him. He was arrested after considerable trouble and charged with robbe sequently he was allowed to pl to petty larceny, and was sent to County Jail for a term of six months police are now working to locate his part- ner. As he is well known, they expect to have little difficulty in landing him hind prison bars. — e————— PAUL DE BAUGE TELLS A TALE OF BLOOD | He Was Made the Victimof the Pane. Game—Woman Attacked Him With His Own Dagger. John Tracy, residence 14 Turk street, be- took the stand yesterday morning in the office of Coroner Hill and swore that for the past year he had been supported by Delia Tracy, alias O'Connor, | allas Reynolds, who was murdered last Tuesday morning by Paul de Bauge. Tracy said that he was a barkeeper by occupation, and that he had not worked for a whole yvear, during which time he had been living with the deceased. The prisoner was present during the in- quest, with his counsel, John B. Carson and James Long. His face is scratched | from his encounter with the dead woman | and his right eye is blackened, the resuit of his tussle with the arresting officers. By advice of his attorneys, he declined | to_make any statement. Nothing new was developed by the in- | quest except the statement made by the risoner in the office of Chief of Police _ees on the day after the arrest. The | statement was read to the jury by Otto Heynemann, secretary to the Chief. It appeared from the document that the wo- man robbed Bauge of $10 and shoved the | money under the door, so that her accom- | | plice in the hallway outside could get it. Vhen he demanded his money the woman ordered him out and threatened | to call the police if he did not go. Upon | his refusal to go the woman scratched his face and bit the little finger of hls right | | hand. In order to make her let go of | | his finger he choked her with a cord. | "She then seized him and caused him | such excruciating pain that he was driven wild,-and when she snatched his dirk out | of his hip pocket and attempted to stab | him he pulled it away from her, leaving | the handle in hér hand, and stabbed her to make her let go. Then, as she was | faintly crying “‘murder,” he’ placed a pil- low over her mouth until she died. The jury returned a verdict charging De Bauge with murder. The prisoner was arraigned before Judge Mogan in the afternoon and the preliminary examina- tion was set for the 1ith of thiz month, ————— Osborn Sued for Divorce.
