N R A When the Eolace, the United States navy transport, steamed through the Golden Gate yesterday morning there was & group of officers standing on the for’ard d@eck, craning for & view of San Francisco on the hills. In the | group was Lieutenant J. C. Gillmore, a hero of the insurrection in the Philip- pines, the man whose name has appeared in every newspaper in this country as the central figure of a tale of adventure that is without parallel in the history of the late war. His is the story of a capture by flerce natives and an escape that con- tains all the elements of romantic ad- venture with grim-visaged war as background. Lieutenant Gillmore {s a young men, full of the spirit of the adventurous soldier, vet he tells his story and reserve, disclaiming all pre- to the heroic.

From him noth- ing but insults and ignities could be obtained. The next place reached was Vigan, and one 'month was consumed in the journey from Ysidro to this village.

Here, where despair was the keenest, the be- draggled band of captives was rescued by Colonel Hare with 140 men and officers from the Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth Infantry. Rescued by Colonel Hale. When found the party was in the act of building rafts to use on the river and were at the point of being molested by the natives, who withdrew at the sight of the approaching army. “I cannot say enough of the rescuing army,” sald Lieutenant Gillmore. ““Colonel Hale meant what he sald when he gave utterance to the words, ‘I'll follow Gill- more if I follow him to hell.’” The men who saved us were exhausted when we met them. They were without clothes, without food and crippled from their ar- duous march. The provisions which gave out forced us to live on the country. In all we constructed thirty-five rafts, and our experfence in this water chute was terrific. The river ran ten miles an hour in some places and the shooting of the rapids was the most dangerous of all our trip. “Three times my raft was overturned and once I was rescued from a watery grave. We lost arms and ammunition in this journey, but it was finally over when we reached Arbaloque. From this place we went down the coast to Manila.” And, puffing away at a cigar, with a restful, satisfied manner, Lieutenant Glll- more confessed, unasked, that his present condition was more enjoyable and com- fort-giving. ““Why, 1 lost fifty pounds on that trip,” was his concluding remark. He will go to Washington in a few days to report to the Secretary of the Navy. PREPARATIONS TO OPEN THE PARIS EXPOSITION Engineers and Directors Insist That Everything Will Be Ready for the Inaugural by April 14. Special Cable to The Call and the New York | 7 Herald. Copyright, 159, by the New York I Herald Company, | PARIS, March 9.—Everything indicates | that the opening of the exposition will not be long delayed. Engineers and di- rectors insist that everything will be in complete preparation on the evening of April 14 and ready for the entry of the public by next day. The last vestige of the portico of the Palace de I'Industrie disappeared this week and the magnifi- cent avenue from the Champs Elysees to the Invalides is being rapidly cleared. Alrgady it offers a beautiful perspective. Between the two fine palaces are pylons, surmounted by gilded statues, from each end of Alexander bridge to the bulldings on the Esplanade des Invalides devoted to French national Industries, and tho view is closed in the distance by the great dome over Napoleon’s tomb. The foreign buildings along the Seine toward the Champ de Mars are In very different stages of completeness. That of the United States could be opened to- | morrow. Next to it i5 that of Turkey, | the least advanced of all. The Prefect of Police first wanted 1600 additional policemen for the whole year, but the Municipal Council refused to grant more than 1200 for the period of the exhibition. A fireboat with steam up will be kept moored along the quay at the end ot the Champ de Mars during the entire period of the exposition ready to go to any point, One of the most picturesque parts of the xposition will be In the Trocadero Gar- dens, where colonial pavilions are eregted. | Here will be gathered natives from ali | parts of the worldi—savages from Da- | homey, some of Queen Ranavalona's late subjects, Siamese, Japanese, Chinese, | Ainfos, Tunisians—in fact a bizarre col- | lection’ of aboriginal races. | ABSCONDER GRIMMELL ‘ ARRESTED IN THE EAST WASHINGTON, March 9.—Chief Wilkle | of the treasury secret service was notified | to-day of the arrest in Philadelphia of | Edward E.

E. J. Phelps, former Minister to England, dled at his home in this city late this after- noon, after an {liness of two months. The end was peaceful and for several hours before he passed away he was uncon- sclous. There were present at the bed- side the wife and son, Charles Phelps of Boston, and the daughter, Mrs. Horatio Loomis of New York, and his physician. Though Professor Phelps recovered from the attack of phneumonia he was so weakened that he was unable to regain vitality. It had been hoped that he might recover until a few days ago when it was apparent that his strength had so failed that it was but a matter of hours when death would come. The funeral services will be held from Battell Chapel, Sunday at 3 p. m. The remains will be taken to Burlington, Vt., for interment. Edward John Phelps was born of Revo- lutionary stock July 11, 1822, in Middle- bury, Vi. After graduating from Middle- bury’ College in 1840 he studied law in the office of Horatio Seymour, at Utica, N. Y.. | and then, after a year in the law school | at Yale, was admitted to Vermont bar in ! 1843. He opened an office in Middlebury, | but removed in 1845 to Burlington, where | he attained a high position in his grufes- slon. In 1851 he was appointed Second Comptroller of the Treasury by President | Fillmore, and filled the office throughout the term. He was a member of the Vermont Con- stitutional Convention of 1870, and had a large share in the direction of its work, and in 1877 was the president of the com- | mittee that planned and carried out thc;_ o Bennington.

FRANKFORT, Ky., March 9.—W. H. Coulton, a clerk in the office of State Au- ditor Sweeney, was arrested and placed in jail to-night, charged with complicity in the murder of the late Governor WI liam Goebel. The arrest was made by Chief of Police Willlams at 9 o'clock. More arrests are likely to-night. Warrants have also been issued for the arrest of Secretary of State Caleb Powers and Captain John W. Davis, a policeman of the State Capitol Square, but they have not been served. The warrants charge them with being accessory to the Goebel | assassination; and warrants against ex- | Secretary of State Charles Finley and John T. Powers, brother of Secretary of State Powers, have been sworn out and have been sent to Whitley County for service. Davis is in the city to-night. but was not at his residence, and up to a late hour the police had not found him. It is not known whether Secretary Powers is in the city. Several witnesses who testified | at the trial of Harland Whittaker Tues- day swore that the shots at the time of the Goebel assassination were fired from the direction of Powers' office, and he and all of the parties for whom' the war- rants were issued to-night have been un- der the strictest surveillance ever since the assassination. Captaln Davis was an appointee of Governor Bradley and was continued under Governor Taylor. He also kept a boarding-house. o g 217 Kearny st., leading . Dominican Revolution Over.

The lightship is about | thirty-five miles from Nantucket, and the stretching of a cable between the points has baffled mechanical and electrical engi- neering skill for years. The difficulties of communication, it is now generally recog- nized, can be surmounted by wireless tel- | egraphy. Inward-bound steamships pass within signaling distance of the lightship, and if there were communication to Nantucket news of the sighting of a fast liner could be flashed to this city from twelve to fif- teen hours before she could reach her ler. The first reporting station is now on Fire Island, four hours’ run to port, and to be reported at this station liners have to make a detour from the track of travel blood.
