CLEARED FOR ACTION.
In Five Minutes Every Gun on q
Charleston Was Loaded.

In Five Minutes Every Gun the
Charleston Was Loaded.
We were within twenty miles of Acapulco,
writes n correspondent. At about $3.50
in the morning notwithstanding craft
was sighted. carrying no side lights and hav-
ing two lights at the masthead.
We steamed toward her, and she, 100,
under way, steamed in 4 circuitous route.
at once her search lights were seen to flash.
On the instant the electric gongs through
: out the ship sounded call to general quar-
tiers. Everybody realized at once what the
necessity must be, and when the strange
vessel had chance to direct her lights upon
us she must have been surprised at the sight
that greeted her. First the rays struck our
bow, and there was our beautiful eight
inch, fully manned and ready for any dire
necessity.
Slowly the illumination travelled aft, stop
ping a minute in each SPONSOR, and there
were our six-inch crews full and waiting but
for the order that meant destruction. Our
search light was not used as we were salts
fed with the identity of the stranger, and
found her to be the Chilean cruiser Esmer-
aida.
Satisfied that she had not the Itata under
convoy. and believing that the Itata must
be awaiting the arrival Of such ship in OF
| about Acapulco, all haste was made for that
port. The Esmeralda came steaming in
several hours after. The Itata was not seen
| in or about Acapulco, nor had she been
heard from.
Laying alongside Of us now and waiting
| for coal is the counterpart of our ship, the
Esmeralda. Alike in every particular ex-
cept her armament and the arrangement OF
| her Gre-roOmS.
The rapidity with which the Charleston
| cleared for action and the earnestness eX-
| pressed in the actions OF her crew, are most
| commendable. Every man was at his post
willing and ready. In five minutes after the
| alarm was sounded On board every gun OIL
| board was cast loose and loaded, the ship
cleared ard three complete rounds of ammu-
milton at every one of the guns of the main
| battery and box of ammunition on hand
at the rapid-fire guns.
| The GOODNESS and confidence of the crew,
their rapid work and their evident deter
mination gave evidence of an excellence OF
our new navy over and above the ship and
| armament as a moving machine. 1t showed
that every particle of the great machine
was guarded by a skilled mechanic
| 1t was just that same old spirit that was
famed to a flame on the instant that neces-
sity demanded, that spirit which, in former
years, won so many laurels to the daring
and val0r of American seamen.

willingness to sell, one day three Cinnamon
went 10 look at the claim. They talked it
over among themselves and finally asked
the owners at what price they would sell. or
course the Americans made ii out rich and
put high figure on it, though, in fact, they
were resolved to sell out at any price, being
sure that the ground was worthless. Il was
! decided that the Cinnamon should bring
| their picks and pans next day 10 prospect,
| and if they were satisfied they would buy at
| the figure agreed upon.
The miners, thinking it would probably

WILLIAM L. STEAD.
Noted British Journalistic Ishmaclite's


A Noted British Journalistic IsEmaelite's
Success.
A unique character in English public af-
fairs to day is William T. Stead, saws the
Boston Globe. A north country Noncpn-
formist, with strong religious tendencies, liz
got his first newspaper training in provincial
journalism, and finally came to London OH
the staff of John Morley, when that gentle
man was editor of the Pail Mall Gazette.
Succeeding him in that position, he made
sensation after sensation, the most notable
of which, the NJ Gdern Babylon" business,
finally landed him in jail. He some time
after this left the paper to hoist his flag in 4
brand new venture Of his own, the Review
OF Reviews.
With college training. great facility

mics, immense energy, and more than the
audacity which the English have attributed
to The American journalist. he is ever al

and ever succeeding.
lie daShes in where others fear to tread.
He views everything pretty much from the
journalistic standpoint, but no idea is too
big for him to entertain and no project too
startling for him to attempt.
Who else in all England would have set
out to interview the Pope or the Emperor
of Russia? Only Stead. is the common
remark, could have conceived of such pub
LEGATION as the Review of Reviews, or couli
have run it up to the circulation of 100000
copies.
He is. in short, in strength and weakness,
What is popularity termed genius. His in
innate knowledge of men and affairs, and
his quick penetration of motives, made him
for years on the Pail Mall Gazette one of
the shrewdcst of political observers, while
his caustic pen and unceasing activity made
him one of the most terrible of political
enemies.

eShaTp, sudden canyons and sTee ping W in
grand forests of spruce, fir and pine to the
loot Of the summit peak, where an eternal
barrier of snow sternlv forbids further adj
vance of vegetation. The forest gets thin
and broken, showing only few Alpine frs,
black shafts covering in the sheltered
sAOpeS or clinging to the st0Tm-swept faces
Of the rocks. Higher up a few gnarled
forms are passed, and Beyond this the
silent white peaks, lift in sub
lime loneliness. Volcanic domes and
cones and granite crags of every regular
ana irregular shape, crown these submits,
some of them so beautiful as to make one
think they must have been carved by the
chisel Of the sculptor. The upper Alpine
gorges are wide and open. leading into am
phitheaters whose walls are either rock or
drifts al neyer-meltiDg snow, packed and
beaten into icy hardness. The sculpture Of
the summit is evidently the work OF that
wonderful carver, the ice glacier, and,
though in tie past the work of this great
force was much more powerful in extent
and character, yet the frequent avalanches
Of to-day and tile freshly scared mountain
-41nks are constant suggestions OF the past.
The Swiss Alps have long been regarded as
the most attractive and beautiful noun
tains in the world, but those familiar with
the deep receSses OF the Sierras find here all
the beauties and marYels of Alpine scenery
existing in even greater degree.

hunt found tile greatest difficulty in crossing

with blocks of stone ranging from hum

holes, big and little, between them. Their
edges are generally sharp; to the rapid

TO REPLACE STEAM.


A Successful Test With Ammonia as a
Motive Power.
A most successful test was made on Fri
day of the use of ammonia as motive
power to replace steam. The test was the
first that has ever been made of marine
engine, and the trial was most satisfactory
An ammonia-ebgine plant has been fitted
out Cd the tug Z. W. Hartley, which made
a trip up and down the river subiecting the
new scheme TO practical test. 1t is known
as the Campbell ammonia engine system
and its workings are novel and interesting
not nnly to the mechanical and scientific
circles but also 10 the lay men of the indus
trial world.
Any ordinary engine can be converted
into Campbell ammonia engine simply by
the addition of generator" which is much
like boiler. Steam is used simply for the
purpose of heating the aqua ammonia in the
generator. The heated ammonia eXppls a
gas, leaving weak solution OF ammonia in
the bottom of this boier-like affair." When,
by raising the temperature of the ammon "a
sufficient power Is generated, the throttle
valve is opened and the gas passes into the
cylinder OF the engine and propels the piston
rod in every way the same as steam. 1t Is
here exhausted the same as steam, but at
this point the gas is cooled and conducted
back to the generator. Before it reaches
the latter vessel it is carried by spray
tact with the ammonia solution which has
been rejected from the generator, and here
the solution is recharged by absorption and
by the natural affinity existing between
water and ammonia.
by this means the same body of am
monia is used constantly, eXhauSting
| itself, only to be charged with new life and
to be returned to the generator The same
is true of the water used. The steam in
| the generator impartS its heat to the am
monia. and is thereby condensed and car
red back TO the boiler to be used again. In
| the Campbell ammonia engine there is alb
solutely no waste. On the other hand there
is a saving of coal, as the engine can be op-
| Grated on one-half the amount of fuel. On
the Hartley yesterday only one of the two
| furnaces was used, and there was all the
| speed ana pressure that could be desired.
| Many advan tages are claimed for the Camp
bell engine. The principal one is that the
| life of a boiler is more than doubled. The
| average term of service for boiler is less
than ten years, and boat is laid up about
one tenth of the time undergoing repairs to
| the boiler. Because Of the uniform purity
of the water this is done away with in the
| Campbell process. and the boat is in con-
slant service. This and the saving Of coal
are the chief advantages claimed. but no
an unimportant one is the dispensing with
the many disadvantages of lubricatng oils
| These are wholly unnecessary, as ammonia
Itself serves as lubricant hiladelphis
