Refuse to Coal Ship, Say| Some of the Men on Vessel SBAN DIEGO, Feb. 7.—The cruiser Mar- blehead, Commander Richard Mulligan, Bay coaling station and Santa Barbara, | and bringe & story of discontent among | the officers to repress it. Although the | trouble is said to have been brewing for | some time, it did not become acute until the vessel arrived at Pichilinque Bay. | There the men openly shirked work, and | Commander Mulligan found it necessary to read to them the articles of war cov- ering mutiny. According to the stories told by the| bluejackets they have had practically no! shore leave since the cruiser arrived at! | Ban Francisco from Port Angeles two | months ago. When the Marblehead came | to San Diego three weeks ago shore | leave here was expected, but was denied. | The bluejackets complained, too, because | a “penitentiary haircut,” because they did not have enough fresh vegetables and because their pay was not forthcoming on pay days. At Pichilinque Bay, the sailors say, while nobody refused to coal the ship, mst of them worked so leisurely that the jdb took five days instead of one, and much of the coal with which the Marblehead was charged was -dumped | into the sea Instead of into her bunkers. Offensive mottoes, it is said, were writ- rious sorts were meted out with liberal hand, and when the vessel arrived at San iego to-day she brought a thoroughly exasperated crew. The greater number of the men have only three or four months to serve, and they declare that they will not reship. The story of the trouble on the Marble- head is obtained wholly from members of the crew, but the versions of the affair given by them tally very closely with each other. Commander Mulligan to-night flatly declined to say a word about -the affair, and the other officers were equally reticent. e ¥Field Maneuvers in Philippines. MANILA, Feb.

SANTA ROSA, Feb. 7.—Owing to the failure to seccure additional water, the city is seeking some method | whereby the municipal water supply may be husbanded. In an effort to cut off the useless waste an ordinance has been offered in the City Couicil limit- ing the use for domestic purposes of municipal water and establishing rates for its use for public pur- poses. The ordinance allows 550 gal- lons of water daily to a family of persons or less and 25 gallons addi- tional for each person in the family over five. A bld was received from the Santa Rosa Lighting Company to install pumping machinery and light the streets of the city with 82 amc lights for the sum of §833 33 a month for a contract of five years. - The company agrees to give a bond of $5000 for the faithful performance of the contraot. Any amount of water up to 2,000,000 gallons daily will be pumped under the terms of the bid. The whole matter went over until next week for further consideration. Since the establishment of the municipal | water system no charge has been made for water, Santa Rosa being one of the few towns in the United States furnishing water absolutely free to its citizens. The burden, however, has been found to be too heavy, and an effort will now be made to put the system on an income basis.
