THE CRUISE OF THE CHARLESTON.
How the New Man.of- Is Behaving
Hcrselt

Herself
SANTA BARBARA, Cal, May l2.-The
cruiser Charleston left port this morning,
steamed south for sixty miles, and, turn
ing north again, went ahead under full
head Of steam, making an average speed
OF eighteen and quarter knots, with a
development Of $500 horse power and lO7
revolutions of her engines. This record
was maintained for period Of seventeen
minutes. This is the first time that the
official record has been taken Of the
cruisers speed in connection with her
horsepower development, and establishes
the fact that rs the Charleston stands she
is one Of the fastest modern fighting ma

American or foreign navics. The star

oped some hard spots in the steel on the
trip out from san Francisco, and which, it
was hoped, had been eliminated, COM

hours was, therefore, made impos.-
bic. The port engine continued 10 run
nj full speed for more than an hour, be-
having perfectly, but was then allowed TO
drop 10 about ninety revolutions, under
which speed both engines were driven

Off little at highest speed. The highest
speed was attained under forced draught,
which WAS employed for the first time,
but during the entire run quantity OF
steam from the boiler was in excess OF the
requirements and was blowing OIL from
the escape Pipe during the entire trip. No
trouble was caused with the other three
steel slides, the one mentioned causing
all the trouble encountered. There Is cyi-
dent feeling Of disappointment among the
representatives OF the Union Iron Works
on board. On tho other hand, the naval
officers arc uniform IN their confidence
aud pride IN The new ship, and the view Is
held that she will enuly attain more
than nineteen kno,s when permitted 10
employ her full power. Chief Engineer
4. A. Wilson, Of the Naval Examining
Board, remarked There was not crank
pin bearing or journal warm. This has
never In my experience been equallcd;
there was not tendency to heat shown
either by either main or thrust bearings.
Once rcmcdying the minor difficulties de.
yclopcd today, the cruiser bids fair to
equal 100 revolutions 10 thc minute with
consecutive speed under the record she
won today. exceeding 10 knots. To my
views she promises TO b. one oi the fastest
ships Of her class ailoat'
The expressions made by other naval
officers are OF the same complimentary
and confident character. IL Is expected
that the Charleston will leave port early
tomorrow morning, aud will probably run
north, but beyond this no announcement
has been made.

Marriage by Surprise.

An extraordinary occurrence has
taken place in one of the principal
churches of Madrid, in the parish Of
Santa C"uz A priest had nearly
finished his mass and was in the act of
pronouncing the sacramental words:
t"Ite, missa est when young man,
aged twenty-one, and D beautiful girl
OF twenty suddenly approached the
altar railing with three midd Gagged
mon, and the young couple cried
aloud: I'VE wish to be husband and
vito. Hero are our three witnesses.
Now, it seems that under tho canon
ical laws still regulating marriages in
Spain, Roman Catholics can thus
claim to be considered married by
surprise IL they are skillful enough to
do 80 just after the priest has uttered
the benediction at the close of mass.
Formerly this stratagem was, as in tAe
present case. resorted to by young
people whose parents opposed their
union. When this occurred in the
church of Santa Cruz O scene Of con-
fusion ensued. Tho priest retired to
tho sacristy and sent for the police,
who conducted tho offenders and wit
nesses into the presence Of the munich
pal judge. He declared the marriage
valid, much to the delight of the young
couple and to the intense disgust of
the parents Of both sides, who had re-
sisted the union. London Times.
Mr.. G. Button, tho official short
hand writer, says that while IN cross
