Peterson of 1015 Third street and Charles Coleman of 629 Chestnut street, Oakland, had a very narrow escape from drown- ing yesterday. Had it not been for the prompt assistance rendered by Captain Harmsworth of the ferry steamer Encinal all of them would most likely have been drowned. When the ferry-boat was about ten minutes out from Oakland mole Captain Harmsworth saw a boat bottom up with three men clinging to it. He at once al- tered the Encinal's course and stood over toward the lighthouse on Goat Island. When close enough the steamer was stopped and a boat lowered. It took some [+ little time to get the men off the capsized ! boat, as they could not help themselves, | and the men in the lifeboat were afraid of drowning some of them. Finally they were got aboard the Encinal and after being given a restorative were sent into the fireroom to dry their clothes. The men say the accident’ was due to carrying too much sail and too little bal- last. “We started out from Oakland Creek on a fishing expedition in the thir- ty-ton sloop Pearl this morning,”. said Coleman. “‘We sailed around Goat Island, anchoring at different places, and made a very good vcatch. blow and the sea got choppy. Then we decided to go home, and after heaving up the anchor made a start. A few minutes after we got under way a squall struck the Pearl and she turned Luckily we got clear of her and managed to clamber back on the keel. We could not keep our place there, however, as sometimes she would roll one way and sometimes another. Rach roll was enough to throw us off, and then we would have to clamber back again. This kind of work in chilly ‘water soon tired us, and I think in another ten minutes we would have been drowned if the Encinal had not come along. 1 suppose the sloop will be recov- | ered, but even If she is not we ought to be grateful that we are alive.” Soon_after the Encinal picked up the men the launch Willlam D came along and made fast to the derelict. The sloop r, and soon after he seemed to disappear altogether. The boatmen think that she will wash up on Goat Island. LUMBER BARGE ADRIFT. Argus Breaks Away From Her Moor- ings and Goes on Alcatraz. The big river barge Argus, partially loeded with shingles, was nearly wrecked on Aleatraz Jast Monday night. She was | anchored in Mission Bay, but broke adrift. and went out with the tide. Off Vallejo street she collided with the bark Snow & Burgess and started a_number of planks in that ve: hull. Before the crew of the bark could secure her the Argus broke away and soon disappeared in the fog. Early yesterday morning the Spreckels Towboat Company s notified that a barge was Alcatraz, and the tug Reliance sent to tow her off. When Captain Sha got to the island he found the barge hard and fast on the | beach directly vnder the prison. A sol- dier was anding guard on the cliff, and as soon as the tug was made fast a cor- poral's guard went aboard the bagge and earched her for possible runawayk. Soon arted pulling on her off and was tow! ame to the Pacific-street whart. The Argus belongs to the California Navigation and Improvement Company and as brought down here about two weeks ago to load shingles. She was par- tially loaded on the M when last seen Monday night seemed se- curely moored.

The Snow & Burge: the Sound with lumbe <ion mudflats, and out arrived from over a week ago, and | she is awaiting a_chance to load. The schooner Lizzie Prien aiso went adrift Monday night and collided with the schoorer Charles R. Wilson. Both were anchored in Mission Bay and are lumber laden. The force of the collision was not very great and about $1:0 will repair both vessels. Tampico Arrives From New York. The new American steamship Tampico arrived from Norfolk, Va., yesterday. She is one of a ilect of ten vessels coming here to go Into the coast trade. Of the ones that have already got here the Asun- | cion is in the coal trade and the Enter- | prige ha been purchased for the Hilo run. ampico took 102 days to make the She was caught ir a big storm off the River Platte and had to put into Mon- tevideo with her rudder damaged.

The Tampico brings 190 tons of coal, con- signed to the United States Government. The Tampico was built last year by the Craig Shipbuilding Company of Toledo, Ohio, and is owred by the Hawgood Tran- sit Company of Cleveland, Ohio. She is 1451 tons net burden, 247 feet long, 42 feet beam and 24 feet deep. She will probably, 2o into the local coal trade. Water Front Notes. The work of loading the transport Meade is progressing rapidly and she will be ready to sail on time next Friday. She has a full supply of coal in her bunkers, | and will go out as well provided for as any transport that has sailed during the past six months. The transport Sumner will probably sail again for Manila September 1. She came here on a special order to bring up con- valescent soldiers, and the chances are | that when she gets back to the Philip- pines she will stay there. Thke Sheridan, due to-day from Manila, will be sent back again as quickly as she can be got ready for sea. The scheoner Sparrow has been sold by J. R. Hanify & Co. to the Hammond Lumber Company.

It is as follows: “There have been numerous inquiries by the gentlemen of the press as to who are to be the witnesses before theSchley court of inquiry. 1 recognize the intense public interest that attends the convening of this court. I also take into account and respect the professional zeal of the press and the earnest desire of each gentleman to obtain early and full information for his particular newspaper. “It has been found necessary, however, to say something to put an end to daily inquiries on the subject. This is done with no purpose or desire to keep any- thing from the public. ““The court will convene on the 12th of September. What witnesses will be brought before the court in behalf of Ad- miral Schley is for the admiral himself to say. No one can possibly know what Wwitnesses the court is going to summon before it. The judge advocate of the court on the 29¢h of July addressed a let- ter to Admiral Schley requesting the ad- miral to commvunicate with him in rela- tion to the witnesses, if any of them were located at a distance from Washington, whom he might wish to have appear be- fore the court. This was done because it was taken for granted that most of them were officers in the navy. It was highly important that they ‘should be within reach when wanted to testify. “Admiral Schley responded with a par- tial list of those whom he thought he would likely want present, stating that there would doubtless be others. lge was Finally it began to | clean over. | over | once in | I | | | | 1 | i i | | the Ferry Steamer Encinal, usted GO OF COAL FOR THE UNITED He was ter of her, committed suicide. financially ‘embarrassed and despondent.

R, Aug. 13.—The indica- tions to-day were that the receipts from the auction sale of town lots now in prog- ress under the direction of the Federal Government will exceed $500,000 in Lawton. This is more than twice the estimate of the most optimistic boomers of the reservation. One twenty-five-foot lot here to-day sold for $140 a front foot and the average during ,the day was about $55 a front foot.

BT L2205 Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 13.—The steam- er Olympia, which arrived from the Or- fent this morning, brings advices of tha trial of three Americans by United States Consul Ragsdale at Tientsin. They were charged with looting in Chankoechuang, a Chinese village thirty miles northwest of Peking. The accused—Richard Lesiie Butler, Alfred Plant and James Winn— were sentenced to four years’ imprison- ment each. According to the complaint of Chang Yuen Fang, which was made to the Amer- fcan Charge d'Affaires at Peking by Li Hurg Chang under date of July 8, the three Americans, tbgether with H. F. Piper, correspondent of a Shanghal paper, and others, took a number of Chinese carts to the Chinese village to loot tha place on June 25. They broke into the Chinese_pawnshop and, firing a fusillade which frightened the Chinese, declared the pawnbroker was accused of being a Boxer leader and that they had come to search the place for firearms. They strung him up and bound all those in the stors and, threatening further violence, de- manded payment of 5000 taels. The Chi- nese could only raise but 500 taels. Not satisfied, they ransacked the place, keep- fng up a constant gun fire, in which one man was wounded. While they were ri- | fling the place a Chinese military patrol approached the row of Chinese carts brought by the looters and™ the drivers, becoming frightened, fled. They were fol- lowed by the soldiers, who captured one. The Americans spent the night in ths pawnshop and next morning, just befors | daylight, they left with a large quantity of looted silver and jeweiry. They seized the pawnbroker's brother and made him walk in front of them as a hostage, to prevent the soldiers firing on the party. They were subsequently arrested because of a complaint laid in Peking and will serve four years’ imprisonment for their offense. WHEELMEN BREAK RECORDS.
