Trouble Experienced in Obtaining Site

WASHINGTON, May 3.-As soon as the
appropriations for Notifications became
available last March the Secretary of
War directed Colonels Hustin, King and
Gillespie, at New York; Colonel Mans
field, at Boston; Colonel Haynes, in
this city, and Colonel Mendeu, at
San Francisco, to prepare the plans
and estimates for such work in their re-
spective localities as could be proftably
undertaken. None of these reports have
been received at the department, and
when they all reach Washington the real
labor of outlining the years operations at
the five points mentioned for defense in
this years appropriation bill will be
taken up.
The subject of sites is giving the depart
ment more trouble than the allotment of
the $750,000 authorized by the recent Con-
gresS for gun and mortar batteries at New
York, Boston, San Francisco, Hampton
Road and Washington. Already the Sec
retary has authorized requirement of a
plat of fifty acres at Plum Island,
in New York harbor; a piece SINH
lar in dimensions at Winthrop, Mass,
and a 200-acre tract near San Francisco
The purchase of these places, even by
condemnation, would take the half mil
lion dollars which the Government has
at its disposal for this purpose. The re-
mainder, it is intended shall be used for
the requirement of needed sites in the

NEW PUBLICATIONS

From c. A. Sawtelle. bookseller, Sacra-
mento, we have neat octave entitled
Fifteen Years i'll He'll" 1t is graphic
autobiography by Luther Benson, who
says he wrote it while convalescing from
alcoholism, and while in the insane asy-
touching recitals Of drunkard we have
ever seen. Mr.. Benson tells the story of
his passion for drink, his fall, recovery,
relapses and final rescue from the tor
ments of liquor-craZed existence. He
is lawyer, and writes with the precision
of one of his profession, but with the
vigOr and graphic style ofa man in terrible
earnest, and determined to make his ex-
perience a warning to others. He took the
lecture stump while yet drunkard and
achieved great success, repeatedly falling
into his old ways and not reaching COM
plete emancipation until he had suffered
intolerably for fifteen years. His story is
well told, and is often dramatically
thrilling. Ii ought to serve good pur-
pose and be the means of saving many q
man from the slavishness of drink. Mr..
Benson is again i'll the lecture field, and
is laboring to make the tale OF his suffer-
ings the means OF restraining other men
and saving them from the tortures no
endured. His is case, he claims, of in
herited appetite for intoXicants, and his
struggle to resist it began i'll early boy
hood. The story of his thirty years of
drinking and fifteen of absolute slavery
is the most remarkable that has ever
fallen under our notice.

1t Causes Much Alarm to the French
Ministry.
PARIS, May 3.-The movement of the
German and Austrian Governments TO
isolate France commercially begins to
alarm the French Ministers more seri-
ously. Dispatches from the French EN-
bassy at Vienna state that Germany
opened negotiations with Russia with a
view to arranging for Russian co-opera-
ton in the projected commercial union.
Concert with Russia at first sight appears
improbable, but under the German-Aus-
tria treaty provision is made to treat
with other Powers reciprocally. Both
countries can offer Russia the benefits of
a beneficial tariff. Switzerland and Servia
will send delegates to the Commercial
Conference. Russia has been invited, but
has notyet replied.
A significant semi-official note in to-
days F'reH,deRbIdtt, in Vienna, proclaims
the wide, economic and political bearing
OF the German-Austria treaty, and pre-
diets that the other Powers will be forced
to make similar arrangements. Even
France, the note says, will find it impoSSi-
bic to remain isolated, and will be COM
PEELED to return TO the treaty system.

SAN DIEGO, May 3.-The Chilean pas
senger steamer Etata, Captain Mansen,
put into this port this afternoon for pro-
visions, and possibly for coal. The Etata
halls from Iquique, and carries, besides a
full complement of merchantmen, a
large number of passengers, said to be
for San Francisco. She is the first
Chilean steamer, and the largest passen-
ger boat that ever entered this harbor.
Captain Mansen was interviewed this
evening in regard to the object of landing
here, and gave as q reason that he was
short of supplies, and could go on no
further without replenishing the ships
stores.
The fact that the schooner is now living
off Catalina Island with a cargo of rifles
for the Chilean insurgents, and awaiting
transport to carry them down, has
started the story that this vessel came
after them, but the Captain says the
steamer is simply merchantmen, owned
by Grace Il Co., of New York, and comes
here by their orders.
She intends to sail from here to San
Francisco, and then to Vancouver, where
she Will go on the dry dock for repairs.
After taking on coal at Nanaimo, she will
return to Chile.

tered here, and that her clearance papers
