Again.

Again.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, July 1.-THE Gillian
transport Itata and the United States
cruiser Charleston arrived in port at
$50 this morning direct from lquique.
The Itata entered the harbor and
anchored in the channel, while
the Charleston remained outside
the head. The Itata was at once
boarded by revenue officers. The Itata
and Charleston came direct from 1qui-
que, being out twenty-three days.
When off the Coronado Hotel about
mile the Charleston let 60 her anchors
and the Itata steamed into the bay. At
10 o'clock she reached the identical an
chorage from which she eloped so sem
sationally some weeks ago with
the United States marshal on board.
The Wharves were soon crowded
with people, all anxious to get look at
the vessel, ana the bay was dotted in
every direction with sailing craft OF all
descriptions. AS soon as possible Off
Ger Churchill, in charge of the vessel,
came ashore and telegraphed his report
to the department at Washington.

no prize-creW, the Charleston having
simply put an officer on board and con-

original crew under Military Command

vessel came direct from Chilli, and made
all average of between eight and
nine knots. The Itata's machin-
erv, which was said to have
been purposely damaged by the
insurgents, is declared to have worked
admirably until the last two or three
days Of the journey. Arrangements

vessel over to the proper United States
authorities, The Charleston, it is I'M

day to engage in target practice,

Pioneers of the Republic of the North
Driven from Mashonaland.
CAPE Town, July "a body of armed
Beers, composed of about 100 men and
their families, crossed the Limpopo yes
terdav thus raiding Mashonaland and
taking the first steps toward founding
the Republic Of the North. These
men were pioneers of the big trek
which has been SO long talked of, and
to prevent which President Kruger
promised to use his utmost endeavors
wnen he was informed that the
British government would consider any
such invasion as an act of hostility
against the Queen. The pioneers of the
big trek seem, however, to have met
with reception somewhat different
from what they expected. They were
no sooner in Mashonaland than they
were met by police and troops in the
employ of the British South African
Company. who drove the Beers back
and arrested their leaders

His Active Life Over.

No one who is moved by music can
fail to learn with the profoundest regret
that it is generally understood that the
useful DAYS of Charles Gounod as a
composer are practically over. An af-
lection of the heart which has become a
chronic organic condition has at last
driven him into absolute seclusion and,
according to a London dispatch, he is
now immured in his residence at ST..
Cloud, and has been peremptorlly for
hidden bv his doctors to do the slightest
work, while even callers are vigorously
excluded from his presence.

FELL FROM A TRESTLE.
Terrible Disaster to u Passenger Train

Terrible Disaster to d Passenger IRAN
in West Virginia.
A Charleston. w. Va, dispatch Of the
4th SAYS "The worst wreck ever known
in this part of the state, if not the
worst that ever occurred in the state,
occurred at s a. NJ. on the kanawha
& Michigan Railway, eight miles
west of here. The passenger train
for Columbus pulled out from here with
two carloads Of eXcurslonlsts, among
them the order of United American Me-
chanics, who were going to Pocas. The
wreck occurred on high trestle. The
sleepers had caught fire during the
night, so that the rails spread under the
train. The engine and the baggage and
mail car passed over safely, but the
two coaches were thrown from the
track. After running some forty feet
on the sleepers the forward car toppled
TO the left, the rear one to the right.
The forward car turned completely
over, landing right side up. The other
fell some twenty feet, turning upside
down. and one set of trucks fell on top
of it, crushing the car to sp.lnters.
Under this place most OF the
dead were found. Surgeons and a
relief train were sent at once. The
scenes among the dead and dying were
heartrending. One little baby lost faith
err and mother. One mans head was
severed at the mouth, and his head was
fished out from under the wreck several
hours after mis- body was found. 1t is
feared that there are one or two bodies
vet under the wreck.

RECLAIMED BY THE SEA.
Colorado Desert Being Turned Into a
Part of the Gulf of California.
n the dollar.


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2.-John W.
Powell, director of the United States
geological survey, smiled when he was
asked how he accounted for the sudden
transformation of Death Valley or
Colorado Desert into great lake.
Only a short time ago, geologically
speaking, or some time after the glacial
period, when the Colorado River was
formed, Maj. Powell explained, the
river emptied into the Gulf of Caiitor-
MIA about 200 miles from the then
head of the gulf. In proportion to
it's size and volume OF water, the Colo
RADIO is the greatest sand-carrylng river
in the country AS soon as the river
reached the gulf it began building
great dam across that body of water,
and cut through this aliuvial deposit
various channels for itself. In due time
the dam was completed and became the
head Of the gulf, and 200 miles OF the
Gulf Of California were cut oil from the
rest and became an inland lake. Evap-
Grafton in that climate is very rapid,
and it was not long before the
water, cut off from the gulf by the
Colorado's dam, disappeared. There
was left a great basin. This is now
known as the Colorado Desert and
Death Valley. The Colorado River,
Mai. Powell said after telling how the
desert was made, had simply overhowed
the dam it had built and was pouring
some, or perhaps all of It's water to the
north of the dam instead of to the
south. It was possible that it had
actually changed it's main channel and
would permanently flow into Death
Valley, but Maj. Powell thought it was
only a temporary overflow. If it was
permanent change, he added, the dam
built by the Colorado might in time
wash away, and the Gulf of California
resume its old proportions. If it was
temporary, when the overflow ceased
evaporation would quickly make the
lake desert again.
Los ANGELES, Cal, July "A dis
patch received here says the water
around Salton, in the Colorado Desert,
is now within 1000 feet of the main
track. 1t came in 200 feet in two hours
Yesterday. If it continues to come IN as
it has been doing it will wash out the
Southern Pacific track in three days.
The deepest water found was three
feet and the shallowest in the current
fourteen inches.
