REPAIR OF THE DOLPHIN.

No Vessel to Be Fitted Up to Take
the Place of the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The navy de-
partment will resume the repair Of the Dol
phin July 1 next at the Norfolk navy
yard, when the appropriations for the next
fiscal year will be available. But the de-
partment appears to have abandoned the
idea of fitting up vessel to replace the
Dispatch, and only ordinary repairs will
be- made, while the President and such
guests of the nation as are to be transported
by water from place to place must continue
to use the old vessel.

A ToP-aEAvY CRUISER.
The Pniladelphia's Steel Masts to be
Taken Out.

The Philadelphia's Steel Masts to be
Taken Out.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Orders have
gone forward to the New York navy yard
for the preparation of the two new wooden
masts for the cruiser Philadelphia to re.
place the three steel masts now on the YES
sci. The vessel is found to be top-heavy as
rugged at present, and rolls to an uncom-
Portable degree unless water ballast
is carried. The cause assigned is that the
machinery, which was built on contractors
designs instead of the plans prepared by the
navy department, is lighter than was con-
templated in the original plans, thus de-
priving the vessel of the steadiness that
was expected from heavy weights lying
close to the bottom. With the steel
masts will go the three military tops now
on the vessel. These circular steel shielded
platforms at the mastsheads, carrying
machine guns 70 keep off torpedo boats, etc.
They are said to be of doubtful utility, as at
least two Of the three are made untenable
while the vessel is under steam by the great
heat from the smokestacks beneath them.
By the change a saving of top weight of
twenty-five tons will be effected, which it
is expected will render the vessel perfectly
stable.

ONLY SIX soRsEs BURNED.

Over Ninety Rescued from the Blaz-
ing Stable in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 25.-The large
stables attached to the city gas works at
Twenty-fourth and Chestnut streets were
totally destroyed by fire this morning A.
large number of wagons were burned.
About 100 horses were Ia the stable when
the fire broke out, but all except six we're
rescued. The property belongs to the city,
and the loss is estimated at $4,000, with no
insurance. For a time it looked as though
the handsome depot building OF the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad would also take fire
but the employees of the depot kept a steady
stream Of water playing on the front of the
building and this saved it from the flames.

oH1LE,s NAVAL WARFARE.
Only Three Efacient vessels Lefs the
Insurgents.

Insurgents.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The navy de-
partment has received report from Ad.
miral McCann on board his flagship, the
Baltimore, dated Tquique. Chile, May
been no military or naval opera-
tions Of importance In the northern
provinces recently. Admiral Hotham,
who keeps himself well informed conoern-
ing events by his cruisers moving up and
down the coast, writing from Coauinlbo on
June Is, informed me that all Of the revo-
lutionary squadron had gone
north from Caldera and that only
700 or 800 men were left to
garrison Caldera and Copiapo; that the
Huascar had grounded in Caldera bay
during the night, but had succeeded In get
ting ahoat again. Since the loss of the
Blanoo Encalada, most OF the insurgent
forces are concentrating about the nitrate
ports
ONLY THREE GOOD BOATS LEFT.
"The only efficient vessels remaining to
che insurgents are the Huascar and Es-
meralda (the latter last heard OF at
Acapulco) and the Almirants Cochrane;
the remainder Is made up of few old
gunboats and armed transports, the
broken down and worn out remains
OF tho Chilean navy. There is. there
fore, little or no probability OF a
demonstration by water against Valparaiso
or other southern ports by the revolutionary
fleet, as have previously reported TO the
department, but on the contrary the gov
ernment torpedo cruisers Almirante Lynch
and Almirante Condell. and the armed
transport Imperial, keep the insurgent yes
sells in motion and the nitrate ports In a
constant state OF alarm by threatening
attacks.
THE ooSDELL OFF IoUfQuR.
"Early on the morning of May II the
Condell appeared Off this port, overhauled
q vessel in the offing and cruised about for
some time, when the Almirante Cochrane,
which had returned to the anchorage after
cruising outside all night, got up steam and
went In pursuit. soon after which the Con>
dell appeared of Pisagua, where two gun
boats also Joined in the pursuit.
Again on June 19 the Imperial appeared
Off this port just before dark and opened q
rapid fire; the object of the firing could not
be discovered, as no other vessels were in
sight in the otiing. The Cochrane and the
gunboat O'Higgins stood out toward the
Imperial, after which firing was again
heard until a late hour. but with what
result could not be learned.
A TORPEDO BLOWN UP.
"Just before these vessels went In pursuit
ot the Imperial, about 6;15 o'clock, one Of
their torpedo launches between the O'Hig-
gins and this ship, but nearer the former. was
accidentally blown up by its own torpedo
and sank Immediately, drowning and
mortally wounding four OF her crew
OF eight men. The Oondell attacked Teltal
on the lst, burning the government build
ings and custom house; on the 25th instant
the Cochrane, Magellanes, Amazones and a
al la a -
the southwark to protect that locality. The
speed Of the Condell and Imperial is such
that they easily lead the pursuit and may
turn up most unexpectedly at anY port.n

A PLOT IN A PHISON.

A Large Quantity of Arms and Ammu-
milton Found Hidden.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June 25.-When
Warden McHale took charge of the San
Quentin prison recently he ordered care
full search made of the premises, which
revealed that large quantity
of arms, ammunition and pro-
visions had been secreted, probably
by friends of the convicts, to enable them
to escape. 1t was found, also, that perfect
code of signals existed among the oonvicts,
and it is believed that there was a well
planned plot for an uprising among the 400
conviots to overpower the fifteen guards in
immediate control of the prison. Warden
McHaIe has taken stringent measures to
provide against such an emergency.

PARIS BAKERS STRIKE.
Police Break Up Procession After
Free Fight.

PARIS, juno GA meeting composed Of
about 5000 bakers took place in this city
TO. day. Several speakers addressed the
bakers assembled. and it Yves resolved to
strike Immediately. The bakers are in
arms against the registry offices, and insist
as the price Of their returning 10 work that
these offices shall be suppressed.
After the strike resolutions were uuani-
mously adopted the bakers who attended
the meeting formed in procession, and with
much cheering aud inilammatory cries tried
TO march upon the labor exchange Tho pro-
cessions were headed by number of their
leaders, and by men who bore aloft the bau-
ners OF the bakers societies. The police.
however, gathered in force across the in
tended line of march, and when the bakers
reached convenient point the police
officers ordered the procession TO halt and
further insisted that the bakers should dis
perse and air their alleged grievances Ia a
more orderly and loss demonstrative man
ner.
THE BAKERS DEMuR
To this proposition the leaders demurrod,
claiming that they had perfect right 20
march through the streets 30 the labor ex~
change, aud insisting that they were only
calling attention In an orderly and legally
manner TO tho wrongs from which they
suffered. The police refused 10 take this
view of the demonstration, and upon the
police Attempting to enforce ths order TO
dispsrse the procession free fight
between the authorities and bakers
followed, and some lively scenes
were witnessed. The police eventu-
ally won the day aud scattered the striking
bakers, who fed ignominiously through the
side streets OF the neighborhood after leaving
their most active leaders Ia the hands Of the
victorious policemen, who triumphantly
escorted the prisoners to the guard house in
the vicinity.
OTHERS TO STRIKE.
The butchers have announced that they
also have determined 60 strike for a SETTLE
ment of several grievances, and 10 IL re-
ported that the grucers' assistants and
market porters propose to do likewisn.
These later rumors were regarded as a joke,
but there is really serious side to the
matter, for this afternoon a meeting of
the council Of the ministers was held
at the Elyses palace and the
whole question of the present labor
disturbance from all It's points was fully
discussed. The result was that IL was
decided in the event of the strike extending
that the master bakers, butchers, grocers
and other suppliers OF food must take meas
ures to provide Paris at least with the
quantity OF bread required for the daily use
OF its Inhabitants Numerous TRADES met
this evening and voted money TO support
the bakers. The bakers OF Bordeaux
threaten to strike IL the demands which they
have formulated are not granted.

A SPLIT AT MERCER.

All of the Professors Except One Ten
dor their designations.
MACON. Ga, June 25.--A rumor has be-
come current that the entire faculty OF
Mercer University, with the exception OF
DR.. @. A. Nunnally, the president of the
institution, and Of Prof. T. w. O'Kelly,
professor Of Latin, rendered their resigpa-
tions to the board Of trustees at the meeting
OF the board held here during commence
ment. Members Of the faculty when ap-
preached to-day would not commit them
selves further than saying that their
designations were not now before the board.
From what has been learned later, however,
this is only blind behind which is hidden
the true state of affairs.
HELD OVER TILL NEXT MONTH.
At at the meeting Of the board the regis
nations we're read and at the request of the
board were Withdrawn until the meeting on
July 13, when certain propositions viii be
suomittedto the board, and IL these propo-
sitions meet with disfavor then the resigna-
tions win be received. IL is understood
that the designations will come up again at
the meeting. Tne underlying cause of the
faculty's action appears to be a lack Of har-
mony between the faculty and the presi-
dent, DR.. Nunnally. This was not known
since the recent announcement. From all
appearances the board OF trustees is thor
oughly In harmony with DR.. Nunnally, and
ii is understood that they will stand by him
and accept the designations of all the others
rather than that of the president.
