The Government officially confirms the statement that the protocol has been signed. 2 The newspapers say the new protocol dispels the immediate danger of war, but that the remedy is not permanent.

R E e e FEAR MUTINY N A WARSHIP Wisconsin Leaves Har- bor of Honoluiu Hurriedly. e A Special: Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Déc. %.—The salling of the United States battleship Wisconsin | irom Honolulu one day ahead ¢f the time scheduled for her to leave pLise at that bplace. Lhe Wisconsin swas supposed to sal for ted sur- Acapulco on December iz, but on Deceni- | ber 11 she quietlyand without notice left theé harbor. 1t 1§ ascértained that the cause of her premature departure was the fact that the ‘men were quarantined aboard the ship on account of an epidemic of measles. This prevented the men from going ashore and was so detrimental to aiscipline: that to avoid trouble the Wis- consin: sailed one day earlier than was expected. A large number of vessels bound for Honolulu &t the time of the steamer Aro- rangi’s departure were overdue. Amon this fleet were the schooners Churchlil ang Novelty and the ship Prince Louis from Newcastle, all of which are long ovor- due. ¥ram the same port the scnooners Robert Searles and Susie M. Plummer and | the bark James Johnson are due. From Puget Sound and Oregon ports the list is a long one, and includes the bark- entine Quickstep, thirty-six days out fron Tacoma, for Kahulul and the ship S. D. Carieton, forty-four days out from Ta- coma. The barkentine Klickitat is twen- ty-seven'days out from Port Ludlow; bark Ceylon twenty-nine days-out from Port Gamble; schooner Bendixsen, forty-one days out from Port Blakeley. From Grays Harbor the schooners Muriel and W. F. Witzemann are out thirty and_ thirty-seven days respectively, and frcm Eureka the brig Consuelo is out twenty-séven days for Hilo. A strong southerly wind has prevailed for the past few days. This, it was ex- pected, would bring in some of the New- castle fleet. On account of the prevailing winds inter-island traffic is almost aban- doned. veral schooners engaged in_the trade have not been able to go out. Sev- eral steamers have had hard trips. | % The report stated that six designs had been submitted and Schmid’s considered the most approp: i competitors were Robert I Aitken of San Francisce, F. D. Jackson of San Leandro, Schwind Schmitt of this city, Jean La Veau of San Jose and Miss Sibyl Eas- terday of Niles. It was a close contest for a time between Schmid and Aftken, but the committee by a final 10 to 5 vote decided to take the Schmid model. The figure shows MeKinley with an overcoat as part of his attire, his hat in his left hand and his right hand extended in the form of welcome.
