Secretary whitney Orders Over-Zeaious
Partizan Foremen Cleared Out of the
Mar Island Navy Yards.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 23.-Secre-
tary Whitney has written the following let
ter to Commodore John Fl. Russell, Com
mandalt of the Mare Island Navy Yard,
relative to the coercion of the vote OF that
yard by tho foremen at the past election:
''Since assuming the duties of this Office my
attention has been called to the conduct of
the Mare Island Navy Yards in elections in
past years, particularly in 1882. After
reading the testimony in the contested cleo
ton case Of Buck VS.. Dudley, taken in the
fall of 1888, there is no doubt
in my mind that the vote of
the yard was practically coerced
and controlled by the foremen, either with
or without orders. The men were obliged
to take their ballots in folded form from
table presided over by one or more of the
foremen, hold the ballot in sight while
walking to the polls one hundred feet dis
tant between men stationed for the purpose
of preventing any change of ballots On their
part and the ballot deposited without the
voter having had the Opportunity to see or
know its contents or to exercise any choice.
find that the same foremen who con-
Quoted the proceedings are still at the yard
in the various departments. Great com
plant Is made to me Of similar pro-
ceedings In other yards but have read suf1i-
cient Of this swOrn testimony to satisfy me
that the men who were engaged in that pro-
ceeding as fOreinen, directing and controil-
ing II, should be cleared out of the yard in
the interest of decent government, and II
any similar proceeding or anything like il,
or any attemyt to cOerce the vote of the
employees Of the yard by foremen or SUI
perior officers should take place
hereafter, whether in the interest
of the dominant party or otherwise,
l will apply similar remedy. APP
pointments in the place of the persons dis
charged will be made temporarily and upon
trial until efficient men shall have been OBJ
tanned. In this connection desire to say
that the bureau officers here complain
greatly of the delays and the extraordinary
expense required to do work at the Mare
Island Navy Yard. ask your special at
tention to these matters i'm the hope that
you will cooperate with Inc in the effort TO
bring the yard to greater efficiency and
eliminate these Objectionable features from

The Death of Barrios.

WASHINGTON, April 2i.--Advices we're
received here to-day from Guatemala de
scribing briefly the scene of General Bar
rios death. The c0ntendng armies had
hardly begun the battle when the Guatemalan
commander was killed. He was not leading
the troops on the battlefield, but was pass
ing along at some distance in the rear of
the troops, when an onslaught was sud-
denly made on him by band
of the enemy. Barrios fell mortality
wounded and died in a few minutes. A
desperate struggle was made TO capture his
body from his body guard and twenty
Guatemalians were killed before the enemy
were repulsed, and the attempt was
abandoned. 1t was in this fight
that B,rrios' son fell. 1t is the
belief that Barrios was deliberately assassl-
mated by the intrigues of Zaldivar, and tia.
the responsibility for the crime rests with
him. The body of BarriOs was taken to
Guatemala and burned with impressive
ceremonies. The people were profoundly
moved by the disaster.

WICHITA, KAN, April ga special
from Kingman, Kan, gives details of de-

to have been the result of waterspout. 1t
seems that about nine o'clock yesterday

began 20 rise Mt tremendous rate. But
little attention was paid to it. as the pre-
ceding night had been one of heavy rains,
and the morning was bright and clear. The
river rose five feet i'm thirty minutes, and in
little while was out of its banks, but still
the people did not fear any particular dan
ger, as it was generally believed that some
mill dam above had given way, and that the
waters could not rise much more.
Soon, however, small Outhouscs, sheds,
boxes, hog pens. wagons and nearly
everything lose began to move and
in few minutes the whole of
South Main street was under rush of
water which tore houses from their founda-
tons and sent them across the street and
on their way down stream with the families
in them, screaming for help. The flood
soon reached the floor of the bridge and
his caused the water to flow into the River
side Hotel. The inmates fled precipitately
across to the north side. Fifteen dwellings
were swept away and into the angry current
with men, women and children in them.
The full number drowned is unknown, but
four women and one man are known TO
have lost their lives besides certainly several
At three O'Clock in the after
noon the waters began to recede. A meet
