Special Dispatch to The Cail. SAN RAFAEL, June 18—Tomales is ex- | is buried on Chriss Island, near that place. Two men have been excavating and trying | California pirate crew for the past several weeks, and rumor has it that they have| definite information as to its approximate location. For the past two months J. E. Johnson and Gus Silverhorn of Tomales have been | making frequent trips to Chriss Island, which is not far from the mainland. | Some residents more curious than others followed the two men on one occasion and ultimately learned their secret. | As the story goes Johnson's stepfather | was given a map some time ago by an old Mexican who was on his deathbed. | This Mexican claimed that his father in the early days belonged to a band of pirates who plied their nefarious vocation | along the California coast, with bountiful | results; that they used Chriss Island as a | place of rendezvous, as well as for the | biding of their plunder. The old pirate, | when he was confined to his bed from a | bullet wound received while on a bucca- | neering voyage, told his son where large | quantities of gold pieces had been buried | on _the island. The son found the gold | and from time to time took as much as | he_desired. The Mexican married Johnson's mother. | Johnson often wondered whence eame his father’'s income, but never gained definite knowledge ul_ the truth until the old man ken sick for the last time. Then ! Johnson was called to the bedside and | 1old of the hidden plunder. He was also given the map made by the old pirate, with detalled_directions as to the loca- | tion of the gold. The map proved to be a | crude affair and the directions meager. | Neither Johnson nor Silverhorn will say | whether they have found the treasure, | but they now admit that they visited Chriss Island to search for it | BED OF OGEAN SHOW GHANGES Navigation Is Unsafe in Neighborhood of St. Vincent.

Vincent will cording to Dr. Jaggar of Harvard Uni- versity, who is one of the party of scien- tists sent to the West Indies to investl- gate the recent volcanic eruptions and who has made a special study of the vi- cinity of the British island. Where be- fore the outbreak of La Soufriere and Mont Pelee there existed solid land is now deep water, as yet unsounded, which extends to the base of high cliffs, bare and vertical and formerly a considerable distance from shore. It is erroneous, Dr. Jaggar says, that there has been no significant change in the soundings as the result of tne erup- tions. Tremendous submarine disturb- ances occurred, he asserts,and the break- ing of the cables after the first eruption of May 8 was probably due to landslides aleng the bed of the ocean, the extent of which cannot yet be determined. The ca- bles in all probability were snapped asunder under the weight of ernormous masses thrown upon them from higher portions of the ocean’s bed. ROSEAU, Island of Dominica, June 18.—The ruins of St. Pierre were visited yvesterday by the Administrator of the isl- and of Dominica, H. H.

It is intended to select 100 of the most hand- some maidens from among them. These will be presented to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, who will se- ject one of them.

TRUMBO SPENDS SOME HOURS ON THE GRILL Former Golden Cross Mine Receiver Is Questioned Concerning His Accounts. SAN DIEGO, June 18.—In the Superior Court this afternoon Col. Isaac Trumbo | of San Francisco was on the grill, under- makers and fifteen apprentices out at The | McNeil wired Thomas this morning | | going examination as to the correctness of his accounts as receiver of the Golden Cross mine. Colonel Trumbo was obliged several times during the day to hear the intimation of the court that if it were shown that there had been any misap- propriation of the funds, the receiver would have to make the amount good or be punished for contempt of court. There were many expenditures noted in the account as “cash” and “check’ which Trumbo is being called upon to explain, and, at the rate of progress made this afterncon, it is likely that they will not all be explained before the end of the week, Judge Torrance ruled to-day that cred- itors of the company who had reeetved | their orders from Receiver Trumbo and had delivered at the mine the goods or- dered had a lien against the mine. That sives their attorney a standing in eourt. This does not include the.bill of Murphy, Grant & Co. of San Franeisco for $% for goods delivered at Trumbe's house, nor other items to an almost equal amount for goods delivered by g¢thers to the same place. The attorneys for the mine announce an intention to go further into the details and see what became of certain property after it was delivered at the mine—par- ticularly that which they claim does not seem to have been used for the mine.
