 SANTA BARBARA, May 9.-The cruiser Charleston has remained at anchor in this harbor with fires banked up to noon to-day and decision has been reached not to start upon the four hour trial run to-day. Naval Engineers have been busy all day in working out records taken of performance of engines on the downward trip. So far as their obser- vations have gone the result Is in favor of the Charleston, when compared with official records of war ships in the Jap anese navy. When the Charleston was running at If knots it was an easy steam pressure, representing only S small percentage of the horse power which she is hoped to develop when under forced draught, al | though precise calculations have not been concluded. Final touches are be- ing given the machinery preparatory to high test to be made, and engineers | and firemen are being given thorough rest for heavy work required of them, when the engine room is closed and | four hours of working engines under forced draught will be required of them. ! Decision will be reached tonight and it is regarded as possible that the cruiser may enter upon sharp work cut out for her tomorrow, though no statement to that effect has been definitely made. | SYDNEY, N. s. w, May 9-Dr. Knapp, late German consul to Samoa, arrived here.

Yesterday 1000 wagons were on the march down and loo wagons on the way back were counted. The groves in Ar kansas and Walnut river valleys, that offered camps to the boomers before the opening are filling up again with return ing unfortunates.
