THE MoHicAN oRDEDeD TO SEA
She Will Go to ChiIian Waters as Soon
 Possible.

She Will Go to ChiIian Waters as Soon
 Possible.
 SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-Orders have been received at Mare Island to have the Mohican got ready for sea as fast as possible.
 Her officers make no secret of the fact that she is under orders to proceed to Southern waters as fast as stelm and sail can carry her.
 It is generally believed at Mare Island that the United States Government has decided to concentrate as large fleet as possible in Chilian waters, where it will remain until the war is over.
 This belief is strengthened by the fact that the Mohican will carry a large. quantity of shells, which can be used by the Charleston or the San Francisco.
 It will take fifty days for the Mohican to reach Callao.
 The United States war steamship Omaha has arrived here from San Diego.

GREAT BRITAIN IRRlTATED.
England Interested in the Pursuit of the
 Chilian Vessel.

LONDON, May l5.-The public interest in the American pursuit of the Chilian vessel Itata overshadows everything of a European nature, and the latest news is sought with the most eager curiosity.
 The sympathy of the British press is al- most unanimously with the insurgents, and there is no concealment of the irrita- tion felt at the course of the United States in taking the opportunity to strike a blow at their cause.
 Apart from this, however, the affair excites interest from a naval standpoint as possibly providing a test of the efficiency of the new American navy.

THE havoc wrought in the forests of the country by fires is an incident of the present season of the year that St ems to be of almost regular recurrence. It is a great misfortune in every aspect. The preservation of our forests becomes more necessary with each year. The country is altogether too much denuded of trees that are cut away for the sup posed needs of business, and when we have added to this the terrible ravages of fire the case is discouraging without reservation. The carelessness of an in- creasing population, and especially the risks that come from the burning of fuel, for railroads, are chiefly responsi- ble for these fires, while the dryness of vegetation causes them to spread to great extent in many cases. The subject calls for the attention of the public, for it involves a calamity of continuing operation.
 YOUNG BLAINE, is ho5-nobbing with Prince Albert Victor. the heir apparent, of Great Britain. They form an excel lent combination. Prince Albert Is an ardent admirer of the biped actress" an accomplished libertine whose capac- ity for burgundy is equaled only by the number of his creditors and his peculiar love of roulet and poker. Young Blaine is equally conspicuous for the absence of every virtue and the possession of every taking quality" from flirting with demi-mondes at Saratoga or Brighton to getting glorious and being escorted home in patrol wa gon. Taken to- gether they form an excellent comedy of errors. All that is needed is ''situa- tions" and settings" A trip over to Paris, Monte Carlo or Nice, will furnish these, and no one doubts their capabili- ties of furnishing all the incidents neces- sary to complete the farce.

This story is one of the rarest treats we have ever been able to offer to our readers.

April 6 the receipts this eeason
amounted 10 501,336 bales, With
the prospect of a good many thous.

The outlook now is that the re-

than the receipts in any year since
1928, when 1t was greater than
had ever been known at that time.
That season brought in 56S,217
