Cavern Contains Fourteen Canoes, Each Holding a Mummified Corpse. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, May 30.—A remarkable dis- covery has been made on the shores of Prince William Sound. While a prospector named Leeds was out with a party of natives looking for mineral he ceme tu the entrance of a large cave, almost con- cealed from view, Leeds entered: the cavern and was astonished to find there fourteen wooden canoes, each containing a mummified corpse. Stone implements were found beside the bodies and stonc slabs covered the canoes, everything in- dicating that the bodies had been piaced there during the stone age. The find was as big a mystery to the natives as to the white man. Their tribe has been on the shores of Prince William Sound for a period so remote that their traditions do not run back to the time there, yvet they have had no krowledge of the cave or of the char- acter of people who are interred there. Nor do the present natives use stone im- plements. Leeds did not disturb the bodieg, but carefully marked the site of the cave and after prospecting returned to Valdez. An expedition is being organized, headed by Captain Story of the Alaska Packers’ As- sociation, to make a thorough exploration of the cavern and the remains that repose therein. UNITED STATES OFFICER WILL INSTRUCT CUBANS WASHINGTON, May 30.—The last of- ficial orders issued by the United States military authorities in Cuba have just reached Washington. They detach Cap- tain D. E. Aultman from duty with the coast artillery, especially commendin; him for his services in organizing an raising it to such a high standard of ef- ficienCy. The me officer is then by request of President Palma detailed on special duty instructor with the “cuerpo de artil- or newly organized Cuban army and it floated in triumph over the ancient pal- #&ces of the Montezumas. Then the black shadow of the tragedy of our history passed over the fair face of the land and obscured the brightness of our country's spiendor. Eleven Southern States, containing eight millions of people, nearly one-third of the population of the entire Unlon, were swept into insurrection against the Government and an- tagonism to the country's flag. Of the heroes of the supreme tragedy of our countrs’s life, the four years of blood and carnage which shook to the very center of the firm foundations upon which our nation is bullded, forget not one. And as we reverently lay our garlands and our wreaths upon the monuments and mounds around ®us, our thoughts carry us beyond the shores of time and we behold even as with earthly vision, the magnificent host mustering again in- the effulgence of eternity. The societies that took part in the cere- mcnies at the Odd Fellows' Cemetery were the following: Grand Army Posts Lincoln, James A. Garfield, Colonel Cass ard General George G. Meade. / I the absence of Edward S. Salomon, rast grand commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, Major Hugh T. Sime acted as master of ceremonies. EVENING SERVICES.

YOUTH AND OLD AGE UNITED AT HEROES’ GRAVES Youth and old age united at the Na- tional Cemetery at the Presidio yester- day to do honor to the memory of those who in defense of the Stars and Stripes gave up their lives. Youth was repre- sented by the soldiers stationed at the Presidio—while the members of the George H. Thomas Post of the Grand Army of the Republic were the men upon whom rest the marks of age. At the cemetery large crowds congre- gated to decorate the gn\'es of those who fell in defense of #the flag. Fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers and friends of the soldier dead visited the last resting place of the boy in biue. When at 12 m, the national salute of 21 guns was fired there was not a grave in the sflent city not decorated. Following the salute came the rendering of ‘“Nearer, My God, to Thee” by the artillery band. Then John H. Roberts of George H. Thomas Post, whe acted as chairman of the day, spoke for several minutes, reminding the veterans of the two wars of the sacredness of the day and of the necessity of the continuance of the yearly tribute paid to the men who gave up their lives to enhance the glory of the flag. Rev. W. W. Case delivered the invocation, and the California Quar- tet rendered appropriate music. The orator of the day, Hon. A. J. Buckles, Superior Judge of Solano County, followed with an eloguent eulogy in which he sApoke of the loss in numbers of the Grand rmy sinee the last memorial day cele- bration, and called upon the younger men to “see to It that the brave spirits who in defense of the flag had braved the dangers of a foreign land, and carried the banner of i om to victory” were not forgot- tea. ““ TROOPS FIRE VOLLEY.

THE SKETCHES ARE THE IMPRESSIONS OF A CARTOONIST OF THE CALL. ! > 2 x HE thirty-sixth annual gather- ing and games of the Caledonian Club, held at Sheil Mound Park yesterday, were successful, both financially and ,otherwise. It was roughly estimated that fully 8060 people were on the grounds, and from the general expressions heard they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The weather was perfect and everything ténded to a most enjoyable outing. A large number of enthusiasts from a distance were present. Among them was a delegation of more than fifty from Sac- ramento, including ex-Chiefs John Morri- son, James McCaw, Tom Scott, H. K. McLellan and D. D. McRae of the Cale- donian Club of that city; David Hanna of Germantown, Glenn County, and Robert e of Vallejo. Mfi?n‘z:;"me guests of the club from the city were Judges Carroll Cook, Hunt, Mo- an and Cabaniss; former Judge Belcher; flev. Fathers Grant and Praught, Gavin McNab, Jimmie Britt, Assistant District Attorney Greeley and Chief Deputy Cor- oner P. J. McCormick. A pleasing feature of the outing was the presence of Mayor Schmitz, accompanied by his wife. They seemed to thoroughly appreciate the dancing by giris and boys fn Highland costume and the other events. They were escorted to the pavilion by dx-Chiefs D. R. McNeill, Angus Mec- Leod and John F. Kennedy, and as they entefed the bands played “Hail to the Chief.” MAYOR SCHMITZ SPEAKS. There were loud cries for a speech, and the Mayor laughingly complied. He sald he had heard a great deal of the hospital- ity of the Scotch people in their native land, and although he had not had the ledsure of visiting *“‘the land o' cakes,” e was_satisfied from his experience on the picnic ground that the term ‘“‘genuine Highland hospitality” could be ungrudg- irgly bestowed upon the Scotchmen resi- dents in San Francisco. He expressed himself as delighted with what he had seen and concluded by paying a compli- ment to the officers of the club. His re- marks were greeted with loud cheers. Mayor Schmitz and his wife sat on the steps of the dancing pavilion, and behind them in a group were the officers of the ciub, boys and girls and men in High- land costume, while a photograph was taken. : All the events, forty in number, were keenly contested. Most interest was evinced in the bagpipe competition for a $200 gold medal. There were only four contestants, several who had entered not making thefr appearance. The judges, who were in a tent so that they could not see the contestants, were John Morrison and . D. McRae of Sacramento and James A. McKay. The competitors had to play g_l‘l:rochs. marches, reels and strathspeys, e first prize was awarded to Ed Ross,' the second to Adam Ross and the third to W. Ranwick. MANY PRIZES FOR CAMPBELL. In the athletic events D. R. Camp- bell, the big policeman, carried off the honors. He won the first prize in each event, including throwing the heavy hammer, throwing the light . hammer, putting the heavy stone, putting the light stone and tossing the caber. In throw- ing the light hammer hé beat the record at the Caledonian games, his score betng. 142 feet 2 inches. In Highland dancing for men Ed Ross carried off all the first prizes. One of the prettiest sights at tne games was the dancing by boys' and girls in Highland costume. There were about sixty of them on the platform at a time, about double the number at any previous gathering, and they all tripped it with a vim, most of them showing grace and charm in their movements that caued forth loud applause. The tug of war between tre marriea and single men aroused sreat interest. T%e captain _of the married men was liam Mitchell, and the captain of thi single men was J. MacCormac. After an exciting pull the married men won. ‘The winning team was composed of D. R. Cnnphdf anchor; D. McFarlane. Rov Hofman, William Morgan, Peter Man- nan, J. J.

Irish Guards Are Honored at “Trooping of the Colors.” LONDON, May 30.—The birthday of King Edward, who was born November 9, 1841, was officially celebrated to-day, it having been decided, as announced in the officlal gazette April 15, that his Majesty’s natal day was to be celebrated in London and on the home stations May 30, as be- ing the most suitable to make a military display. On the other hand, foreign sta- tions will celebrate it November 9, the actual anniversary of his birth. General interest in the celebration was apparently not seriously diminished by the expectations of the greater series of events surrounding the coronation. The towns throughout the kingdom were gay- ly_decorated and the shipping at the vari- cus ports made the gayest displays of bunting. The day was observed at all the home mititary and naval headquar- ters with parades and salutes. The chiet celebration was the ceremony of ‘‘trooping the colars” at the Horse Guards here and the presentation of col- ors to the new Irish Guards. Stands cov- ered with crimson cloth were erected on three sides of the parade grounds and were occupied by thousands of privileged €pectators, including the United States Embassador, Joseph H. Choate, and Mrs. Choate, and the secretary of the United States embassy, Henry White. Thou- sands of other persons were grouped closely around the lines of sentries. The troops taking part in the ceremonies werc Lattalions of the Irish Guards, Grenadier Guards, Scots Guards and detachments of the Life Guards. Tremendous cheering greeted the ap- pearance of the King and his brilliant cscort, which included many notabilities. His Majesty, who rode between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Connaught, Wore the uniform of a colonel of the Irish Guards. Lord Roberts, the commander in chief of the forces, who led the proces- sion, also wore the uniform of colonel of the Irish Guards. Queen Alexandra and other members of the royal family viewed the scene from the windows of the Horse Guards. The crowds present bared their heads while his Majesty proceeded to the saluting point. After an inspection of the line of troops and the presentation of the colors the ceremonies ended with a review of all the troops on the ground. The King dur- ing the afternoon presented colors to the King's Company of the Grenadier Guards, The weather was wet and raw. King Edward invested the Duke of Marlborough and the Duke of Bedford with the insignia of the Order of the Garter at Buckingham Palace this after- noon. The ceremony was more imposing than any similar event which - h: curred for years, it being the King's in- tention to revive all the old-time pomp which formerly distinguished the ceremo- nies connected with this order. A notable cflm?any of Knights of the Garter, in- cluding the Prince of Wales, the Duke of gflcnnm!xght.l t{zz l\gnrauls of Salisbury, the arquis o ndonderry and the e ofTI;llorfDl'k, ut!endeg. o ere is no truth in the report lished in the United States that ?ge C! :g: cellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, will resign after the coro- nation, owing to the persistence of the Colonial Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, in retention of the grain tax as prelim- inary to his zollverein scheme.

N., who is to succeed Commander Willlam H. Beehler as naval attache of the United States October 1 next, was presented to - Emperor William to-day in the courtyard of the castle. Lieutenant Commander Potts, who was In uniform, was directed to wait until his Majesty returned from the spring parade of the Berlin and FPots- dam garrisons on the Templehot field, and then, after the ceremony of “‘troop- ing the colors,” Captain von Grumme presented the lleutenant commander to the Emepror, who was on horseback. With tne hieutenant commander stand- ing by the side of his horse Emperor Willlam and the naval officer conversed for about ten minutes, his Majesty ques- tioning the future naval attache with great rapidity as to where he was born, had he ever been Germany before, where he had served, etc., eliciting al- mest a_complete autobiography of the naval officer. The Emperor finally said he was glad Lieutenant Commander Potts had come to Berlin, and thus closed an informal audience. At the annual spring rlrade of the gar- risons of the Berlin military district the Shah of Persia was present in an opem carriage drawn by four horses, and the Crown Prince of Slam attended on horse- back. Emperor William led the Second Regiment of the Guards past the Shah, who acknowledged the compliment by standicg up in his carriage. The parade was unusually interesting this year. Thirty thousand t ), twice the usual number, took part in {t for the edification of the Shah, who divided with Emperor_Wllliam the attentions of the crowd. The Templehot fleld was bright with the red, blue, yellow and white of the different regiments and looked like a vast tulip bed, amid which sparkled countiess points of light from bayonets, lanceheads, helmets and cuirasses. —— Services in the Rose City. SANTA ROSA, May 30.—Memorial day services in this city were largely attended to-day. Many veterans turned out with Ellsworth Post, Grand Army of the Re- public, and marched to the cemetery. Ae- companying the veterans were the ladies of Ellsworth Circle and the Relief Corps and a large number of school children. The latter carried bouquets of flowers and minjature flags and assisted in decorating the graves of veterans at Rural Ceme- tery. The members of the post marched from their hall to the Athenaeum, where the literary programme was rendered. At the Athenaeum Post Commander G. R. Camp presided and made a short address. Miss Lottie Murdock rendered “The Star- Spangled Banner,” and Hon. T. B. Hutch- inson of Napa, the orator of the day, was introduced. Mr. Hutchinson delivered an eloquent address, referring feelingly o the departed comrades and to the rapldiy thinning ranks of those who still trod life’s brief span. After the exercises the line of march was again formed, and un- der the leadership of Major Louis W. Juilliard, grand marshal, the procession wended its way to the cemetery, Two Towns Hold Union Servicea.
