Naval Dry-Docks.

Captain Farquharson. Chief of the bureau
of Docks and Yards under the Secretary of
the Navy. arrived here from Washington
last night and is now at the Palace Hotel.
When asked about the Charleston he said /:
This affair has all transpired since left
Washington a week ago, and !, of course.
am entirely ignorant of 1t all. If were in
position TO do so / could not even extress
an opinion, for probably know less about
1t than the average citizen of San francisco.
My mission here is to inspect the condition
of the Mare Island Nayy-yard, aud that
shall go about at once. This, YOU know, is
one of our most important stations, as the
dTy-dOck at Mare Island is the only one
owned by the Government Of the United
States that Is capable of receiving the larger
vessels of the new navy. The yards at
Brooklyn and Norfolk are destitute of docks
capable of accommodating either battle
ships or cruisers of the pirate class. 1t is
the intention, as You know, to build new
dock at Port Townsend, and that will be
made for vessels Of the largest size.
1.-The trouble with the old docks along
the Atlantic coast is that they are too mar
row. The tendency Of modern naval arehi-
lecture Is 10 vessels of increased breadth of
beam and lighter comparative draught.
This Is to give them greater buoyancy, in
order to float their heavy armor, ard also to
enable them to Withstand the shock result
ing from the discharge of heavy guns. The
old docks, excepting that at Mare Island,
were constructed for vessels of the old
type of narrow beam and heavy draught,
and the result Is that they have become
useless except for vessels Of the smaller
class"

The Home Team Lost the First Game
and Won the Second.
When the 1 o'clock game was called to-
day 5000 people were in attendance. The
sun was rather warm for the players and
those occupying front seats in the grand
stand; but as the game progressed a cool
ing breeze sprang up. Spies aud Hoover,
catchers for the SacTameDtos, having been
disabled Dave Levy acted as backstop for
Huston. Lookabaugh did the twiring for
the San JOses. The home club male a
favorable start, securing three runs, the
visitors having been retired with a goose
egg. In the second the "Steers" got two
men over the plate and in the third another
was added to tile San JOSes' score, and
although determined effort was made to
increase it success failed them. The visitors
took one in the fourth, two in the fifth and
one in the seventh. The feature of the
game was Hanley's one-hand catch of a hot
bali from Hoffman's bat in the eighth, the
audience acknowledging the effort with pro-
lopged cheering. The score:

The Late FsermanB, Allen

The funeral of the late Heman B. Allen
 of Meriden will be held Monday with ser vices at the house at 1:30 p. m. and the re-
 mains will be brought to New Haven for burial.
 MT. Allen was a man who rarely needed
 the attention of a physician, enjoying as a
 usual thing the best of health. He was 8
 sufferer from asthma, that being his only
 known ailment. Since the early part of the week MT. Allen complained of an op' pressed feeling in the region of the heart,
 which he attributed to dyspepsia. His first alarm was caused by a fainting spell when seated at his desk in the Meriden Bronze company's office Thursday morn ing. He lost consciousness for a few mo ments, but rallied quickly.
 He attended business during the remain
 der of the day, arriving home in the neigh borhood of o'clock.
 Less than an hour afterwards Mrs. Allen in passing through the room where MT. Allen sat reading a newspaper, noticed that his face was very pallid, and thinking that he had tainted again went to him and found that he was dead. He had spoken to her but few minutes before. He was sitting ln natural position, the paper that dropped from his hand lying near the chair on the floor.
 Dr. Mansfield and Dr. Wilson, the medi- cal examiner, were summoned and pro- nounced MT. Aliens death as due to valvu- lar disease of the heart.
 The Meriden Republican says editori- ally: 'The sudden death of Heman B. Al
 len Thursday evening was great shock to
 the community. During his residence in
 this city MT. Allen had become an impor-
 tant factor in the business and social inter
 ests of Meriden. He was thorough type | of a Christian gentleman. His courtly,
 genial manners attracted all with whom he
 came in contact. He was one of the most
 useful members of the First N. E. church,
 with which he had important official rela, tions. All in all, MT. Allen was a citizen whom Meriden could ill afford to lose"

IMPORTANT WITNESS AfkRESTED one of the Principal Witnesses
 Against the Jury-Rribers in New
 Orleans i'm Jail at St. Louis.
 ST. LOUIS, May 29.-Leonce Burthe, the principal and in fact the only witness against the jury-bribers in the case grow ing out of the Mafa trials in New Orleans, was arrested in East St. Louis this after noon and is now in jail in that city.
 When seen by reporter MT. Burthe at first refused to talk, but leading question opened his mouth. He said: "When the Hennessy murder case was called I was drawn on the panel. Before l was exam ined and rejected F. Arment approached me and said that would get $1 900 if got on the jury and found the Italians not gull ty. I told him could do nothing of the kind. After the trial I told MT. Parkin- son and afterwards communicated the fact that Edgar Wbiae, the deputy sheriff, had threatened to ki'l me if I testified against his friend Arment. Yes, I was afraid and left New Orleans and got $1 ,OO0-but he seemed to realize that he was telling too much, and in the very next breath said he left New Orleans of his own free will and accord.
 1 It is not known whether or not he will I go back without acquisition paper. The I only charges on which he can be taker 1 back are contempt of court or compound ing felony

THE WAR IN CHILL.

THE WAR IN CHILL.
 Threatened Bombardment of Valpa-
 ratso - The Course of the United
 States Government - The Itata Re-
 ported on Her Way to Australia.
 PARIS, May 29.-Despatches received here from Chili state that the insurgents, contrary to their promises, now threaten to Lombard the city of Valparaiso. In view of these threats the defences of Val paraiso are being hurriedly strengthened
 In the threatened city and in Paris it is believed thAt the foreign powers will in tervene should the insurgents attempt to carry out the threat of bombardment.
 WASHINGTON, May 29.-The state de- pertinent has not been officially notified of any intention on the part of the Chilian insurgents to Lombard Valparaiso as re- ported from Paris. There is no disposition on the part of this government, so far as can be learned, to "inte1vene" in the Chilian contest, for the meaning of this term in diplomatic language is a siding with one faction or the other. Certainly the government of the United States, and presumably tho government of no other nation, is prepared at present to go, to this length. As repeatedly stated, our minister to Chili and the min isters of France and Brazil stand ready to mediate between the factions in the interest of peace; but this is a very different function from intervention. If the insurgents should attempt to Lombard Valparaiso it is more than probable that the foreign ministers there would enter an energetic protest based on the fact that the foreign interests are larger than the ChiIian interest In view of this large in- terest it may be that the protest, if disre- garded, may be enforced by the foreign fleets in Chilian waters, but their action would go no further than was necessary to protect the property and lives of foreign subjects, and the Chilians would be left to fight their own battles.
 C1TY OF MEXICO, May 29.-A dispatch to the Anglo-American at 7 o'clock last night from Acapulco says: 'There is a well founded report here that the officers of the Esmeralda, which coaled here yes terday, have said that the Itata has gone direct to Melbourne, Australia, after hay ing transferred her arms and ammunition bought in the United States to the Esmer- aida. The officers of the cruiser have made no secret that they had communication with the Itata on the 18th inst.''
 WASHINGTON, > May 29.-Dispatches from Chilian sources received in this city to-day state no attack upon Valparaiso is anti cipated and that the defences of the city have not been strengthened. The defense of the city is in the hands of Rear Admira Oscal Viel, soldier of experience ano ability ashore and afloat. It is stated tha | the Chilian government fleet is to be re 1 cruited by two swift and we'll equipped cruisers just built in Europe.

 Los ANGELES, Cal, May 29.-Informa- tion has been received at army headquar- ters from military societies at Fort Bayard, N. M., to the effect that numbers of In- dian hostilities again rife in that quar- ter. It is reported that a man named Whittem was killed on Blue river in Ari- zona; also that family was killed at Eagle Creek A man named Campbell was killed on Whitewater in the Mogallon mountains. These murders are said to have been committed between the 1st and 18th of May. Two officers and twenty men have been sent by the commanding officer at Fort Bayard to scout northward from that post to near Choloride, and oth- CT attachments will be sent out. A man named Holt, who helped bring in some of the dead, states that the trail of the h. dians leads directly toward the reserva- | tion. General McCook has given orders for the troops from Forts Bayard, Apache, Bowie and San Carlos to make diligent | search in vicinity of their several posts for any signs of outlaws and pursue any trails found. Troops from these posts with thirty days supplies left on Wednes- day to make search
