SAN DIEGO, June 2i—The British steamship Carlisle City, which arrived here on Saturday from Hongkong, is de- tained in quarantine, the deaths of six Chinese having occurred on the voyage undér circumstances Wwhich the local quarantine officer declares _indicate piague. There was no sickness on the vessel when she arrived and none has gince developed. She lles several miles from the city and every precaution has been taken to prevent any person on board from coming ashore. There is no alarm here, as it is not believed possible that even if the vessel is now infected, the disease can be communicated to the mainland. Dr. McKey, the quarantine . officer, wishes to send the vessel to San Fran- cisco to be quarantined and disinfected. At the last Congress an appropriation | was made for equipping the quarantine | station here so as to meet just such a case as that of the Carlisle City, but the work has been delayed and at present the proper facilities for handling the car- go at quarantine during fumigation of the vessel are lacking. It is likely that | the Carlisle City will be sent to San | Frarncisco. | Some surprise is expressed here that th: disease which appeared on the Car- | lisle City should be positively declared to have been plague. There was no physi- cian on the vessel and the Lodles of the dead were thrown overboa:i—the last one several days before the sip reached port. The data on which a positive diag- nosis of plague can be based are not ap- parent to the average citizen. WASHINGTON, June 24 —Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman of the marine hospital ser- vice to-day was informed by Dr. McKay, quarantine officer at San Diego, Cal., of the arrival at that port of a plague-in- fected ship—the Carlisle City. Dr. Me- Kay reports that there were six deaths en route, five of which were certainly caused by plague. Dr. McKay reports that all the others on board are in good health. He says that dead rats were found on ‘the ship before the sickness made its appearance. The crew of the Carlisle City consisted of eight Europeans and forty-four Chi- nese. The vessel carried one European cabin passenger and twelve Chindse steer- age passengers. ND COMPRONISE WITH PRINGESS H. E. fiuntington Denies Tale of a $1,000,000 Gift. Special Dispatch to The Call. — LOS ANGELES, June 24—Henry E. Huntington declared to-day that the story published in a San Francisco paper, to the éffect that he had agreed to give to the Princess Hatzfeldt $1,000,000 more than was bequeathed to her by the will‘of the late Collis P. Huntinfton the Princess then to refrain from contesting the will, was a fabrication pure and simple, evolved out of the imagination. Said Mr. Huntington: “I have had absolutely no communica- tion with the Hatzfeldts. There is no+pros- pect of my giving them a million or any- thing else.

Strikers Ignore Offer to Re- turn to Work at Old Wages. ey SR Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, June 24.—A decided change in the strike situation took p#ce at 7 o'clock this forenoon, when the lathes and machines in most of the machine shops of the city were put into action. At first it appeared that the employers had engaged a large number of workmen and had their shops well supplied. How- ever, after a look through the shops it could Be seen that the noise was being made by the machinery and not by the men. Only about thirty-five men, includ- ing all branches of the metal trades, went to work. The union machinists claim that not one of these was ever a member of their union. Although very few men began work, the employers wear a satisfled air and de- clare they have accomplished what they wanted. Mr, Hulme, general manager of the Vul- can Iron Works and president of the local branch of the Metal Trades Association, said: “The maln object in starting to-day was simply to put ourselves on record as having offered to take the metal workers back at the same rate of pay and same hours as when they went out. There is no doubt that we can get men, if not from Seattle, from other places—in fact, Eastern workmen arrived in the city to- day and are at work at the Washington Iron Works.” The latter establishment has followed the example set by Moran Bros. and has employed armed guards to watch the en- | trance to the shops. PLUMBERS GO ON STRIKE. Fresno Union hi;ems.nds Shorter Hours and More Pay. FRESNO, June 24.—The plumbers em- ployed in the shop of Barrett, Hicks & Co. went on a strike to-day. A plumbers’ union was organized here three months | ago, and two weeks ago the men in this | establishment passed resolutions demand- | ing eight hours’ work instead of nine, $3 50 a day for first-class and $250 a day for second-class men, and time and a half for Sunday and night work. | Last week the men worked but eight 1hoursa, and on Saturday night they re- ceived pay for Lut eight hours. They ac- cordingly went on a strike. out against the strikers and will attempt to replace them with men from San Fran- cisco. As the Fresno plumbers are'in the Federated Trades they are confident that no other men can be engaged. No other establishment been affected by the strike as yet, t is possible that it may | become general. R e e e e B e S i e .

SECRETARY HAY WILL DRAFT NEW CANAL TREATY Satisfied That He Has Found a Firm Foundation on Which to Erect It. WASHINGTON, June 24.—Secretary Hay has in hand several matters of ne- gotiation that are very near to his heart. Tor instance, he has, after the most ex- haustive investigation and sounding of Senators, satisfied himself that he has been abje to find a firm foundation on which to_erect a canal treaty to replace the Hay-Pauncefote treaty that failed. It is his ambition to remove absolutely as a souwce of possible conflict in the future the misunderstandings resulting from the | efforts to apply the Clayton-Bulwer treaty to the conditions of to-day. It is stated at the State Department that be- fore next fall he will be able to undertake without sacrifice all the duties of his office. In this state of affairs the officials feel warranted in denving that there is any foundation for the rumors of the in- tended resignation. Victim. of a Strange Assault. 1 DENVER, June 24.—Miss Celestine Col- man, aged 17 years, was assaulted by an unknown man near the corner of Thirty- ninth avenue and Goss street this evening. The man struck her with a club on the right side of the head, rendering her un- conscious. He then ran. The attack was witnessed by several parties, who gave chase, but the man escaped.

There was shipped via St. Mich- ael on the 12th inst. $2,500,000, and there is now on the way up the Yukon $1,000,000 more. Alaska’s output of gold from the spring clean-up has started in a steady flow to Seattle. Nearly flve tons of gold was be- ing transported on the Yukon at the time of the Dolphin’s departure. The Dolphin left Skaguay on June 20. The gold she brought came up the Yukon on the river steamers Zealandia and Ca- nadian, leaving Dawson on the 12th. It was removed to the Seattle assay office early this morning. R Among the large individual holders of treasure of the Dolphin are R. Barton, A. Daub and the latter's partner, Mr. Dickey. Daub & Dickey are traders in Dawson. Mr. Barton is a claim owner in the Klon- dike district. Together they have $100,000. The remaining $250,000 was divided among the rest of the passengers, but they were reticent about it and kept their sacks in their staterooms. According to advices by the Dolphin, the miners on Eldorado Creek have about fin- ished their clean-up for the season. The miners on the other creeks are well along in the work of segregating the gold from the earth which was dug during the win- ter, and the estimate of the total clean- up ' for the season places the amount at between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000.
