The Monitor COmanche Ready
TO Defend This City.

1t is expected that the war-ship San Fran
cisco will sail to-day. It is stated that she
is going to Monterey Bay for target practice
but very few of her crew believe the rumor,
and most of them have ordered their mail
sent to Panama
The Thetis is also ready for sea and has
been for some time, but until the present
difficulty with Chile is settled she will re-
main in port, and If the monitor Comanche,
now at Mare Island, is ordered into COM
mission for the defense of this city, her crew
will be transferred to the monitor. The
COmanche is one of the old-timers, having
been brought around the Horn during the
war She. was loaded on board the

pose. The voyage was made all right
and the Aquilla dOcked at Hathaway'S
wharf to discharge her strange cargo, but
before she could do so strong Southwestern
sprang up that sent the Aquilla to the
bottom of the bay. After survey of the
situation it was decided to build a Golfer
dam around the Sunken vessel, and after the
water was pumped out the cargo was taken
out and hauled to the foot of Third street,
where the monitor was put together.
Since that time the Comanche has remaine
at Mare Island, but has been taken good
care of, and is capable of making a hard
fight should any of the Chilean shins dare
make an attack on San Francisco. Her guns
and machinery are In good order, and, if
in "a hours, as all that is wanted TO put her
in commission is supply of coal aud pro-
visions, all of which are to be obtained at
Mare Island.

Special for THE MORNING CALL

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-A riot, which at one
time threatened to be a most bloody one,
took place this afternoon, as the outcome Of
horse-race on one of this city's thorough
fares. A crowd of several hundred-males
and females, white and black assembled on
Custom-house place to celebrate. The street
was turned into race-course, and shot
from revolver was the starters" signal.
Two races in quick succession had been run
and the third was being started. when q
squad OF police arrived, attracted by the
shots. At the same time a general fight was
commenced in a neighuoring saloon, an
bullet after bullet came crashing through
the windows, in dangerous proximity to
the heads of the crowd on the streets.
Two officers in citizens clothes gained en-
trance TO the saloon, and being recognized,
q cry went up TO lock the doors and kill
the fficers," and at the same time the key
turned in the lock. Backing into a corner
the officers drew their revolvers faced the
ugly crowd and threatened to shoot the first
man who moved.
THEIR NERVE SAVED THEM,

burst open the saloon doors and rescued

to leave the saloon, but after desperate
struggle the officers emerged from the place,

by, and in spite Of the desperate efforts of

stating that he had just returned to Fort
Brown after three days scouting trip up
the Rio Grande on the Texas side in
search of the revolutionary Mexicans
and offenders against the United States
military laws. None of Garza's men
were encountered, and none are believed to
have crossed into Texas from Mexico along
that portion of the border within the past

Captain Francis Hardie of the Third Cav

near Carrizo, Tex, yesterday, and in an en-

Two Stoves Blown Up!in Two Days by Mis-.


CARSON (Nev.), Dec. 25-Yesterday, In
the Empire Restaurant. the cOok-stove of
Mrs. Larry Kearney was ruined by an ex-
plosion. To-day, at s A. NJ, new stove in
the same house was blown to pieces again
Suspicion was created and the wood was ex-
amined. One piece contained section in
which freshly bored holes appeared to have
been charged with powder The family of
small children were gathered around the
stove. One, boy, was struck in the jaw
by fiat-lrOn and knocked down. Consid-
cradle comment has been created in regard
TO this outrage at the Empire.
A resident who has often in the past
threatened to commit depreciation by poi
soning chickens, cows, setting fire to build
ings, etc, is suspected of loading the wood.
Many chickens have been found dead and
few incendiary fires have appeared. Some
thing stronger than vocal persuasion is
talked of. and the suspected party will in
the future be closely watched. The limb of
wood was so small that it was impossible
for the woodmen in the mountains to have
left load in it, as blasting is only done on
heavy trunks of trees. This satisfies the
residents that it was no accident.
