The Trial Trip of the New Coast Defense
Vessel Highly Satisfactory.

The Trial Trip of the New Coast Defense
Vessel Highly Satisfactory.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec 21.-The manag-
ers OF the Union iron works have concluded not
to give the new coast defense vessel Monterey
another preliminary trial run until tomorrow.
The trial yesterday was regarded as highly
satisfactory both by the contractors and the
naval representatives who were present The
average revolutions of the engines yesterday
were 100, and this was maintained for four
hours without difficulty. 1t is expected to in
crease the revolutions to 140 tomorrow and to
100 ON the following day. and then'it is intended
speed of from eleven to thirteen knots yester-
day it was shown that the Monterey is a wet
ship forward.
Water ran over her bow and grew in volume
as the speed increased until right at tho point
Of her bow there was a steady torrent pouring
on her from four to five feet above the deck.
1t rushed over the forward part of the deck for
distance Of thirty or forty feet back of the
hawse pipes.
The main volume Of water was just at a
point of the bow where the hawse pipes
covered by immense iron hoods are located
and these, with large anchors which are Sc
cured on both sides Of the hawse pipes formed
breassworks, which caused the water to bank
at that point. The wave was broken before it
reached within ten feet of the forward turret
ana ran on the sides without causing any Hood
near the turret, though there were small
streams running along the sides for consider
able distance back Of the point.
The bay was smooth and the vessel was per-
fectly steady without any tendency to pitch or
dip her bow in the water. The members of the
naval board expressed no surprise at the man
ner in which che threw the waves over her bow
and stated that nothing else could be expected
OF a vessel of the monitor type with free board
of thirty inches, as the Monterey has.
During her run the engineer aboard took
data in the engine room and the fire room, upon
which the preliminary horse power computa-
tons will be made. The naval engineers who
were aboard the vessel and members of the
trial board also say that so far as her
machinery was concerned it has worked
satisfactorily, and that there is every indication
that when forced to her full power the new YES
sci will meet the requirements Of the contract
Several Of the engineers speak in very favorable
terms Of the Ward coil boilers, which were
placed in the Monterey by the Navy Depart
ment partly by way Of an experiment They
have never been used before on as large a scale
and there has been some doubt as to the prob
ability Of their proving successful. But the en-
Rineers state that the boilers have retained
steam perfectly and give every indication of
continuing to do SO with increased pressure.

Alarming Discoveries Regarding Cows Near
New York City.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Several Guinea pigs
have recently died in the cages devoted to them
in the meteorological department Of the board
Of health Of this city as the result Of tubercu-
losis.
They contracted the disease after being in
oculated with milk taken from cans which had
been intended for some Of the wealthiest fami-
lies in this city. These cans were sealed at tho
farm, delivered by the express company direct
to the consumers and we're paid for at the rate
Of IA cents a quart as being particularly choice,
The veterinarian OF the state board Of health
discovered that cows in the herd Of the Adams
farm at Scsrsdale, in this state, were tubercu-
lois. Portions Of the milk were taken and with
ii Guinea pigs were inoculated. Within few
days these little animals developed the disease,
became i'll and died. Proof positive Of the
character Of the milk having thus been obtained
twelve cows-ell in the herd that showed any
symptoms of the disease-were killed. 1t was
found that in some of them the tuberculois tu-
mors in the udders had broken down and
formed Assesses and that the tuberculous pus
of them was draining into the milk glands and
thus communicating the milk.
DR.. Cyrus Edison, the sanitary superintendent
Of the board Of health. was questioned about
the story. at is true enough he said. ..The
researches made by DR.. Grant into the number
Of cows affected by tuberculosis have shown
that about per cent of them have the disease.
Tho disease ID intensely contagious. More
children die Of tuberculosis than Of any other
disease. Az milk is almost the sole food Of
children and the principal food Of invalids, thu
danger from tubsrculosis l. very great Under
these circumstances IL IL much safer 70 give
young children and iuvalids sterilised milk,
because this b perfectly hsafthy."

The Montserrat Sails to the South Sc
Islands for Another Cargo.

The Montserrat Sails to the South Sea
Islands for Another Cargo.
SAN Francisco, CAL. Dec. 21.-The tramp
steamer Montserrat, which recently carried a
cargo Of Gilbert Islanders to Guatemala coffee
plantations, has now been bought by the slave
dealers and will be used to transport by the
wholesale these poor ignorant South Sea Island
ers to the unhealthy coffee plantations of Cen
trail America
The Montserrat left here December 4 for
Guatemala. She had on board Capt. W. H.
Ferguson, the man who brought over 500 Gil
bert islanders on the brig Tasiti, and whom
sickness forced to stay here. He thus escaped
the fate of all on the brig, which foundered off
the Mexican coast.
Fergusons presence on board is accounted
for by member Of the former expedition. who
has been approached within ten days with
proposition to ship for another trip when the
steamer gets back here and fits out for the raid
on the peaceful homes of the South Pacific
Ferguson's errand is to secure the
aid Of some Of the interpreters and
natives, who went to the Sonth Coast plan
tations as whippers-in for another big load of
slaves. Another cargo was not picked up with
out much difficulty. and the natives Ferguson
intends to take back are to be used to spread
glowing reports of the life of the natives in the
new land.
The cruise will take in the Samoan and the
Caroline groups before the Gilberts are touched,
but little is expected from those islands, be-
cause.-the natives are not a laboring class.
The four-masted schooner Alexander now
idle in Oakland creek, is also reported to be
under charter to the slave dealers. The king of
the Gilbert Islanders is always hard up and
the slave dealers pay him handsomely for his
influence in getting laborers. Unless England,
which lately assumed q protectorate over the
Gilberts, steps in and forbids this ''blackbird-
ing, the island will be practically depopulated.
The islanders are promised good wages and re-
turn transportation, but two out Of three fall
victims to deadly fevers and change of climate.

Gar1a's Followers and Lieutenauts Prepal
ing for . More Extensive Movement.

Gar1ss Followers and Lieutenants Prepar-
ing for More Extensive Movement.
MONTEREY, MHxIoo, Dec. 21.-It il learned
here that Cecilia Salinus. who was yesterday
sentenced to three years imprisonmen. by the
federal court at San Antonio for violation of
the United States neutrality laws, spent the
months Of August, September and October in
Monterey and other points in the interior
working up sentiment Of the revolutionary
movement which was recently inaugurated on
the Rio Grande border. He was at that time
indicted by the United States federal court and
was out on bonds. He is known to have
spent fully two months in the different
military camps in the northern part Of the
republic and distributed secretly q large
amount of revolutionary literature. He is be-
heved to have secured many adherents to tho
cause among the army officials who are already
to join the movement the moment the time ar
rives for the uprising and invasion.
The high military and federal officials in this
city no longer attempt to conceal the fact that
there are turbulent times in store for northern
Mexico in the near future.
1t has also been authoritatively learned by
Gen. Bernardo Reyes, governor g the state Of
Neuva Leon and commander Of this military
zone, that Julian Flores. who commanded one
OF the divisions Of Catariro Garza's revolu-
tionary forces has been in Mexico the past
seven months, and that he had the impudence
TO visit the City OF Mexico, where he is be-
heved to have held a secret conference with the
leaders Of the clerical party. Flores is now
thought to be in the vicinity Of Matamoras in
the state Of 1amaulipas. He is wealthy and
educated man and liz regarded in northern
Mexico as being just the person to undertake
the bold game that is now being played.
A significant fact In connection with the re-
cent revolutionary outbreak is that Alexandra
Gonzales, father-in-aw Of Catarino CARA. six
weeks ago raised $26, 900 cash by mortgaging
his extensive ranch properties in Texas. The
mortgage WAS filed In the clerks office Of Neces
county. Many people think the amount has
gone into the fund to forward the revolutionary
movement now in operation.
San ANTONIO, TEX, Dec 21-Gen. Frank
Wheaton, commander Of this military depart.
ment. has a telegram from Fort Mcintosh stat
ing that courier had just arrived there from
San Ygnscio bringing information that the fed
ersl authorities had made an investigation and
that the report that Mexican soldiers we're
held as prisoners at San Ygnacio is not
true. The who soldiers crossed over from
Mexico at the time Of the trouble have remained
on this side Of the river Of their own free will
They refuse to return to Mexico. but for what
reason it is not known 1t is believed by many
that they are in sympathy with the bandits and
It is expected they will join the outlaws when
the opportunity offers.

Fourteen French Villagers Lose Their Lives
in Rescuing Others From the Flames.
PARIS, Dec. 21.-Amost disastrous confagra-
ton has occurred at Berson, a village OF
Gironde. and fourteen of the villagers we're
either burned to death in their homes or we're
killed while attempting to escape. The flames,
famed by high wind, spread with frightful
rapidity, and it was early seen that the efforts
to fight the fire would be fruitless. Attention
was then turned to the saving of the aged and
little children, and it was in the work of rescue
that many of the villagers lost their lives.
The greater part of the village was destroyed
and the inhabitants are in great straits, owing
to the lack of food and clothing. The residents
of surrounding towns are doing all they can to
alleviate their sufferings.

KANSAS CRY, NO., Dec. 2l.-Reports received
from Guthrie point to great suffering in the
western part Of the territory, while up in the
Cherokee strip there are reported Indian
troubles on account Of shortage VI rations.
Fort Reno has not yet been called upon for

There are many sick in the tribes, who are
dying rapidly. while the settlers who came in
on the Arapahoe lands are suffering for lack of
clothing and food. They have lost all their
stock by cold ar starvation and the outlook for
their own safety is gloomy. 1t is cold all over
the territory and a regular blizzard has been
blowing for several days, with fine sitting snow.
No colder weather has been experienced in

Excitement Caused by Gold Discoveries In
Colorado.
DENVER, Col. Dec. 2l.-Perhaps the great
est gold excitement since the days of 40 il at
present attracting the attention Of the entire
west and thousands Of people from Arizona
New Mexico, Southern Colorado and Utah are
rushing into these new fields. The excitement
is unparalleled and towns along the Denver and
Rio Grande both in southern Colorado and
New Mexico are almost depopulated Nearly
5000 people are already upon the scene. and
the new diggings are said to have made pro-
prietors wealthy in q day.
1t was for some time matter of conjecture
ss to the exact location of these remarkable
placer mines. Investigation makes them most
accessible from Durango and Dolores. 1t 10
said the Denver and Rio Grande is already sur
veying line, and tons of provisions are being
continuously forwarded. Nuggets of gold have
been received here ranging in weight from ten
to fifteen ounces and are similar to those dis
covered in California gulch at the time of the
Leadville excitement.
