The English flagship Warspite, long
looked for in this port, arrived about
dusk Saturday night, and remained
throughout Sunday and until about
O'Clock today.
The vessels movements we're kept a
profound secret, yet we learned that
leaving here, the Warspite will continue
direct to Esquimault, where further
orders will await her. Nothing could be
learned regarding the Bering sea, the
off GERS being adverse to saying any
thing whatever relating thereto. The
boats armament embraces two nine
inch guns, four eight-inch, four three
inch and two rapid firing boarding guns.
She is about the size of the Charleston,
yet she does not appear 20 be as formid-

O'Clock both were little the worse for
liquor, and started down State street
shooting holes through the air with two
ugly looking weapons. Officer Fulling-
ton gave chase after Jose, who ran few
blocks toward the beach and jumped
over the fence into vacant lot. The
officer continued his chase over the fence
and corraled the drunked wretch.
When cornered he brought his gun
into requisition. He snapped his
gun once at the officers breast,
but, luckily, the cartridge did not
explode. Another attempt was more
successful, this time the weapon going
off and sending a bullet dangerously
near Mr.. Fulington's head. The Off
Ger now called assistance and over
powered his man. He was taken to Jail
and was this morning given hearing
in Judge Cranes court. He was held
for trial for assault with deadly
weapon. Being unable to furnish $1,000
bail, he was returned to the lookup.
His trial comes off next Wednesday
week.
The unfortunate brother Pete was
fined So for carrying concealed weapon.
