LAUNCH OF THE SAN FRANCISCO.
The New Cruiser Baptised With the
Usual Ceremonies.

SAN Francisco, Oct. GA steady down.
pour of rain attended the launching OF the
new cruiser San Francisco to-day and de-
tracted considerably from the interest in
the ceremony. The crowd OF persons who
found their way through rain and wind to
the Union Iron Works shipyard was not as
large as that which assembled there over q
year ago TO witness the launching OF the
Charleston. but fully 1900 people stood
under their umbrellas and watched the
San Francisco slide off the ways. A plat
form had been erected around the bow of
the vessel, which was occupied by about
100 persons, among theIs being Commodore
A. L. X Benham and other naval officers
from Mare island, and the naval band sta
toned there.
A tug arrived from the Preside about
half an hour before the launch, and
stopped short distance from the yard,
On this were General Nelson A. Miles and
staff, and other army officers. dozen
other tugs and sailing vessels, crowded
with spectators were also ia the yard. A
few minutes before the launch. two young
ladies, daughters of Commodore Benham
and Mr.. Scott, took position near the
bow. ready to christen the new cruiser.
Within a minute or two after O'Clock the
last chock was knocked away. and as the
vessel commenced To slide down the ways
two bottles of champagne were broken over
her bows. The band played the Star
spangled Banner" and the crowd sent up
a hearty cheer. The steam whistles from
the tugs and the foundry broke forth at the
same time and the noise continued several
minutes.
The launch was perfectly successful. The
vessel went off gracefully and apparently
stuck in the soft mud a hundred yards
from the shore.
The San Francisco is twin-screw pro-
tected cruiser, built entirely OF steel, hay-
ing poop and a forecastie deck with an
open gun deck between. Her engines,
boilers, magazines and steering gear are
below the protective deck. The entire
