THE MONTERREY.
Her Trial Trip VIII Not be Made Until
Next Week.

Her Trial Trip viii Not be Made Until
Next Week.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S.-The official
test of the new coast defense vessel Mon
terey Will not occur until next week, as
the contractors of the Union Iron works
have determined to alter the pitch of her
screws for the purpose of obtaining a
greater number OF revolutions and thereby
developing increased horsepower. The
vessel will go on the dry-6ock tomorrow,
and the present pitch OF her propellors,
which is 12& feet, viii be decreased to
about IL = feet. The new war-ship was
cruising on the bay for over six hours,
and for four hours OF that time was
,steaming at full power under forced
draft. She demonstrated the fact that
her machinery is capable OF standing the
most severe test that the government will
require.
During the entire run there was not the
slightest mishap to al part OF the ma
chinery. Her maxim n revolutions were
155 per minute, and the speed in those
parts OF course where the w.ter was deep
est it is estimated amounted to fourteen
knots per hour. Some partial computa-
tons were made to determine the horse
power DEVELOPMENT, and these indicated
about 5, 200, which is 200 less than the
contract requirement.
The official trial would probably have
occurred today as all the members OF the
naval board were present had it not been
that the builders became convinced after
a thorough. test of the vessels capacity
that by decreasing the pitch Of her screws
greater Developments of horse power wonld
be obtained, which would result in the
builders receiving premium on horse
power in excess of the required 5, 400.
All doubt as to the capability of her coil
Of boilers to hold the necessary amount of
steam was removed by her performance
today and naval experts pronounced the
experiment entirely successful.
Nearly all the time that the monetary
was running at high rate OF speed the
safety valve was blowing off steam indi-
eating that the boilers were making more
steam than could be supplied to the
engines. The average revolutions today
were 14s or 749 and these were made with
a etaana r1ressure of 100 pounds.

REV LAREDO, Mex, Dec. 2S.-Thls
has been a day of suppressed excitement
and anxiety in military circles here as
Srere was every reason to believe the re-
volutionists would make an attack on
Guerrero, where large quantity of arms
and ammunition were store. There
have been rumors of another engagement,
however, about twenty miles south
of San Miguel between $50 revolutIonlsts
and a detachments of eighty Mexican
soldiers, in which five soldiers we're
wounded. The announcement that Gen-
eral Eztrada led the revolutionists who
defeated the government troops yester-
day created intense excitement as he is
prominent in army circles ana has a
large following.
It is believed that an attempt is really
being made to overthrow the government.
and that it is 10 be a desperate one. not

probably 2, 900 revolutionists on Mexican

A BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

Costa Rica and Nicaragua ouarrelins
Over Disputed Territory.
PANAMA, via Galveston. Dec. 2S.-The
boundary disputed between Costa Rica
and Nicaragua is assuming threatening
dimensions, and hostilities may begin at
any moment. The territory in question
is but few thousand square miles
and would be. worth little to Costa
RIGA should they acquire it. Costa
Rica, it is believed, therefore seeks
merely an opportunity to impose on
Nicaragua what seems favorable to her
interests in matters affected by the canal.
Should she succeed in provoking war she
probably would triumph, for, although
poor both in men and money, she is su-
perior in both respects to Nicarauga.

an analysis Of the stomach reveals not the
slightest trace of poison. The conclusion
reached il that death was due to natural
causes. The report is regarded with sus-
picicn from certain quarters.s
Many persons openly express the peneI
that Baron De Reinach was murdered ana
the official report to the contrary does not
shake their belief. Against all these,
however. stands the reputation OF Dr.
Brouardel. Those who know him declare
that nothing the government coulo oner
him vvouId induce him to attach his name
to a false report, and if such report was
secreteIy decided upon, he would not IN
any way be a party to it. The report was
eagerly discussed and is taken to end the
question as to the baron's death. The De
Reinach family, it is supposed, VIII ac-
cept the report as final as it removes from
the baron the stigma OF suicide.

OF MRS. mKsERvE

To be Held at the Davenport Church This Anerneon-Her Loss to Her
 Homo and the Church.
 The funeral of Mrs. Anna E. Meserve, beloved wife of Rev. I. c. Reserve, pastor of the Davenport Congregational church, who died Friday afternoon, will be held from the Davenport church at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Rev. Mr. Mason. of the First Baptist church will probably oficiate. She had been confined to her bed for the past five weeks with inflammatory rheu- matism. The immediate cause of death was heart failure. She was forty-thres years, seven months and fifteen days old. She was the mother of six children, all of whom are living.
 Mrs. Meserve's large circle of friends and acquaintances were deeply pained to learn of her untimely death, which has caused much sorrow and regret. She was most estimable lady, greatly beloved in all the ! circles of the society and church in which she moved. In the home she was fond an6 loving mother gathering round her hearth ! when in health, all that wealth and abun dance of sunshine which sheds the rict ! light of love and happiness and makes thu home haven of rest.
 Her long and protracted illness has ellie ited the sympathy of the entire church
 with which she was so closely identified
 and many have been the tokens of low
 and respect for her.
 Being thus cut off in the very prime o
 her life from life of especial activity il
 both church and home circles, her death i
 to be the more lamented. Of most love
 ly and beautiful Christian character, pos
 sessed of disposition at once firm ant
 mild, charitable in her nature, loving ant
 merciful in every thought and deed, sh
 was a woman of rare ability and excel
 lence, whose loss is keenly felt.

New Haven Boys Petted at Saratoga
 Springs.

New Haven Boys Petted at Saratoga
 Springs.
 The boys composing Professor Jepson's g Saratoga party returned on Saturday night safe and sound, but very tired. Wherever they appeared they were much praised and petted. On the evening of their arrival they were invited by the proprietors of Congress hall to alternate with the band of the house in furnishing music for the evening concert on the piazza of the hotel A large concourse of people gathered to list en. The boys sang about dozen selections, which were vigorously applauded. At the convention the boys, under the direction of Professor Jepson, were equally success full in school exercises, having been invited to illustrate New Haven methods of teach ing music; the interest was very great and the audience gathered closer to the plat form when Professor Jepson invited any music teacher present to test the class. President Glover, supervisor of music in 8 western city, availed himself of the oppor- tunity and wrote what he announced to the audience as difficult exercise. The boys smiled as he wrote, and as they sang the last note were rewarded with round of applause. The exercises were conelud- ed with several three and four-part pieces, selected at random from an advanced music book used in the Saratoga schools and which the boys had never before seen. This demonstration excited great interest, Professor Jepson and his class were duly and unanimously thanked by the conven- tion. Professor Jepson was also honored with the appointment of vice president for the ensuing year.
