PORTSMOUTH, N. H., March 15.-News Of
the wreck of the U. S. s. Galena was receiv-
ed with sorrow by several hundred workmen
employed In the navy yard here. as the ves-
sci was on the way here. where nearly $780,
600 was to have been spent in repairs to be
made upon her. This would have given
work to between 800 and 400 men during the
entire summer. As there is no prospect of
other work, the repairs on the Lancaster and
Monongahela being nearly completed, it is
probable that the entire Iorce at the navy
yard will be suspended.

SAN DIEGO, April 12.-Ex-Governor
r. w. Waterman died at his residence, on
Florence flights, this evening at 7:30, of
pneumonia, after an illness of only five
days. The fact that death was inevitable
had been known for twelve hours, and
when the sick man breathed his last five
members of the family-Mrs. Waterman,
Waldo Waterman and three daughters
were assembled about the bedside, be-
sides Miss Charlotte Waterman, sister of
the deceased.
The Governor was in semi-cOnscious
state during the last three days of his
life, and during his lucid intervals was
informed of his extremely critical condi-
ton, and it finally came without a strug
gle and without pain.
The Governors illness dates back to
the time of Secretary Proctor's visit to
San Diego. He took part in the reception
accorded the Secretary, although suffering
at the time from a severe cold, and for
several days thereafter insisted on going
down town as usual. Wednesday he was
so Ill that he had to summon medical as
sistance. His cold settled upon his lungs
and soon developed into pneumonia.
Drs. Huntington and Edwards, his
physicians, recognized the Governors
great danger, and Immediately took
heroic measures to break the disease.
Saturday he improved somewhat, but to-
ward sunset a relapse occurred and he
became very restless and feverish. From
that time on he sank rapidly.
kilograms were sent to the Governor s
q daughter, Mrs. Rice of San Bernardino,
and DIR. j. 5. Waterman of New York,
his son, summoning them to San Diego.
The members of the family remained
close to the dying mans bedside, to be
present when the final moment came.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
been completed as yet, but it has been de-
cided that the services will take place on
Tuesday, with interment at Mount Hope.
Mrs. Rice arrived on the evening train
from San Bernardino, one hour too late to
see her father for the last time alive. Dr.
Waterman is now on his way from New
York

France will be handed to the Govern
ment of Balmaceda, under stipulation
that no French crews shall be engaged :;
that the only assistance the vessels shall
get i'll France will be permission to coal
and complete such equipments as are
necessary to enable them to reach Chile.
The cruiser Presidente Pinto will be
completed in May. The Errazuriz is
nearly ready. The British crew, engaged
chiefly to strengthen Chilean marines, is
already here under Colonel Villa Grin.
A series of experiments with quick fir
ing guns have been made at Cauetz. the

SAID the large gun was fired nine times in
40 seconds, while another ofheavier caliber
was discharged seven times in 81 seconds,
The results OF the experiments, he added,
justified tho belief that the French facto-
rles can successfully compete with any

NEW ORLEANS, April 12.-The Grand
Jury is expected to report the coming
week, and among other things it is said
the confession of PoIitz will be used in
the report. Politz confessed his own in
nocence, and said he Joined the Mafa
under the impression that it was benev-
olent society. He was present at the
meeting when Hennessey's death was de-
clded upon, and was ordered to carry
guns in sack to Monasterio's shanty,
but refused. He did not know of the
killing until the Sunday following, but
afterwards learned the details from Mon
asterio, and they were substantially the
same as claimed by the State upon the
trial duplicating Scaffeni. Marchesi, Bag
netto and Monasterio as Hennessey's
slayers.
The State did not use the confession
because it had such direct proof of Po-
ltz'S presence at the killing, which his
story denied. Politz is said to have had a
brother who closely resembled him, who
had not been heard of since the killing
He Is presumably in Italy. Had he been
found the Identification might have been
transferred to him, and PolitZ's confess
sion would have formed an important

At the Republican State Convention
held at Los Angeles August q, 1886, Mr..
Waterman was nominated for Lieu
tenanant-Goyernor and in the following

Algeria, morocco, TunfS and Trfpoli
Devastated by Insects.
New York, April 12.-Advices from
Europe state that Algeria, Morocco,
Tunis and Tripoh are devastated by To-
Gusts. The Bedouins, who brought the
most recent confirmation of the immi-
nence of the peril declared that they rode
for distance of more than sixty miles
through swarms of locusts so dense as to
obscure the light of day.
Official report OF the French authori-
ties in Algeria describe one of
the swarms near Heraoula as
almost ten miles in length and nearly
thousand feet in hight, and as totally
conceaiing the range of hills in the vi
cinity.
Another swarm of equal size is re-
ported to have reached the Moorish city
of Marakesh, whose fugitive inhabitants
assert that neither they nor their fathers
have ever witnessed such desolation as
is being caused by these insects.
Twelve years have elapsed since North
Africa was last visited by a scourge of
this nature, and in view of the fact that
the swarms reported at Heraoula and
Marakesh are stated to constitute the
mere advance guards of the winged army
of the invaders, there seems much ground
for fear that the impending visitation will
be one of the most appalling ever wit
messed in the sorely stricken and un-
happy land of Ham.

STRONG EVIDENCE.
Gibson's Alleged Attempt to Blow e
ShIIfaldf,S DiSfflIaf.v

SnuIeIOU'S D1SJ1llefy.
CHICAGO, April 12.-The investigation
into the alleged plot to blow up with
dynamite the distillery of H. H. Shu-
feldt by Secretary Gibson, of the whisky
trust, was continued yesterday by the
Federal Grand Jury. Government Gauger
DeWar, who it is alleged, Gibson sought
to bring into the plot, and several other
persons, were examined.
1t is said that the Government has evil
dence to show that the material
for the explosive compound was
bought at Colburn &J Birk's drug
store, in Peoria, Illinois, and that
the compound was made in the laboratory
of the trust at Peoria. The Government
officials assert that the trust has been
using large amounts of money to buy off
witnesses before the Grand Jury, and
hint that some of the witnesses who have
been examined will be prosecuted for
perjury.
This: This afternoon VIM; Barry, attorney for
Gibson, entered the office of United States
Marshal Hitchcock and gave that official
severe tongue-lashing for his alleged
high-handed arrest of witnesses.
Mr.. Hitchcock says Barry's attack was
without justification, and that the Govern
ment simply took precautions that Ash
ford, the colored ianitor for the trust at
Peoria, should be brought before the
Grand Jury without giving anyone con-
nected with the defense chance to coach
him. This was done with valuable re-
suits to the prosecution.
Ashford, it is said, testified to having
gone into the trust laboratory one night
and accidentally broke bottle on the
the shelf. The contents ignited, and
Ashford was seriously burned in extin-
gushing the flames. This testimony
and evidence that Gibson personally pur-
chased the phosphorus is regarded by
the Government officials as tending
heavily to fasten upon him the guilt of
constructing the peculiar internal ma
chine said to have been designed to blow
up the big antitrust distillery

New YORK, April IA San Berlin
special says: Mr.. Phelps and the rest of

evening. Orchestra pieces by Kelley,
Bird, Foote, Busch, Boise and Herbert
were performed, and also portions of Van
Der Stucken's music to Shakespeare's
Tempest" amid the enthusiastic plaudits
of the crowded auditorium, three-quarters
of whom were Germans.
Some of the foremost Berlin critics
warmly praised the compositions, techni-
cally and artistically considered, though
finding them lacking in quality and in
dependence, which distinguishes the
German masters.
