ers Expected In June.

The Russian Flee. aud Other Foreign Cruis-
ers Expected In June.
The Navy Department is informed that the
admiral in command of the Russian fleet at
New York proposes to take all his ships to An
napolis on the occasion of the commencement
exercises at the Naval Academy The feet will
arrive at Annapolis the 27th instant, and
will remain there several DAYS. Two or three
American cruisers will accompany the Russian
fleet around from New York. but the selection
has not yet been made. 1t will thus be seen
that the people of this vicinity are not to be
altogether deprived OF the pleasure of a close
inspection OF at least one section OF the foreign
contingent at the recent naval review
THE VESSELS IN THE FLEET
The Russian vessels now at New York that
will visit Annapolis are the Dimitri Donskoi,
General Admiral and the Rynda, and it is pro-
posed to increase this fleet at Annapolis by
the addition of the 9,O00-ton battle ship
Emperor Nicholas, the armored cruiser Ad-
miral Nachimoff and Pamiate Asoya These
three ships were intended for service in the
naval review. but were frozen in the Baltic at
the time. They have since been released and
ordered to visit this country. Ii is expected
that they will reach here in time to partici-
pate In the graduating exercises at the Naval
Academy.
OTHER FOREIGN SHIPS EXPECTED.
Other vessels that will probably visit Annap-
oils at the same time are the Italian fleet and
the Argentine cruiser Neuvo de Julio. These
include about all of the foreign ships that VIII
remain at New York more than a few days
longer.

Recounts Their Doings Since the Ar
rest of George Sontag.
NIsALIA Cali, June 13.-Detective Will
Smith visited Evans and Sontag to-day,
and they conversed for an hour. Smith
asked them why they did not leave the
country during the winter, when every-
body thought they had left. Evans re-
piled that they had no money, and at no
time had to exceed $40. Smith saws thew
showed no animOsity toward him during
the interview, but in talking with others
they express bitterness against Smith.
Evans said in an interview this after
noon that the fight at his house when
Smith and Witty first went there to ar
rest him and Sontag was commenced be-
cause Smith had addressed his daughter
in an insulting manner. He said he had
never robbed the train, and did not fear
arrest, and if the officers had shown a
warrant he would have submitted.
when we left the house the night
Beaver was shot" Evans said. AZ saw
most of the posse, but they were our
friends, and we did not wish to iniure
them. Some one sang out to us, who's
there| and then number Of shots were
fired at us. We returned the fire. and
Beaver was shot. L thought it was Tom
Cunningham. We went to the hills and
camped in dark canyon for several
days.
I'm the fight at Young's cabin we were
there getting dinner. Main Warren came
in and told US party was coming down
the hill. There was only one mode of
egress from the cabin, and it was surren-
der or fight. and we fought. When the
firing commenced. Burke jumped over a
fence, fired two shots and ran down the
hill. Smith put spurs to his horse, and
lost his arms in an attempt to escape.
Warren Hill jumped Off his horse and
made for the brush. McGinnis and Will
son fought bravely, and 1 am sorry the
former was killed, as we were acduaint-
ances in Modesto.
1--WE have made our camps most of the
time in the mountains and redwood can
yons and on the Dry Creek Mountains.
We were not often at Sampson Flat. but
occasionally we travelled back and forth
to the places mentioned to vary the mo-
notony. 1 know nothing about the
shooting of Black at Camp Badger. We
have been in Nisalia six times during
the winter, and once since Kay attempted
the arrest on May Sth. Our last visit here
was made on May I'D, when we remained
only fifteen minutes, Sontag holding the
horse while 1 went in the house. was
coming to Visalia last Sunday, but the
fight prevented it.
AZ was sitting on the straw when the
first shot was fired. The first shot hit
me in the eye. Then the fight became
furious"

WINTER WORLDS FAIR.
The Question Discussed at a Meeting
in San Francisco.

The Question Discussed at a Meeting
in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, June ia number of
citizens met this afternoon at the State
Board of Trade headquarters in the
Croker building to talk over the pro-
posed scheme to hold a sort of secondary
Worlds Fair in San Francisco during the
coming winter.
The Board of Trade invited delegates
from various bodies to meet and consider
the proposition.
Eugene Gregory. President of the State
Board, presided. Among those present
were N. w. Spaulding, Major George A.
Fisher, Mayor Cole of Fresno, ]. S. Leeds
Of the Traffic Association, C. C. Hutchin-
son of Lassen County, L. C. McAfee of
Kern, Tyler Beach, James A. Clayton,
San Jose; H. NJ. Van Amman, San Fran
cisco; Craig Sharp, Fresno; w. H. Mills.
San Francisco; j. S. Emery, Oakland;
Captain J. f. Chapman, San Francisco;
General N. P. Chapman, Red Bluff;
Colonel j. P. Irish, Oakland.
After routine proceedings Mr.. Mills
spoke approvingly of the San Francisco
Worlds Fair scheme: 81 think the rate
of transportation can be much less than
it is at present. The railroads made only
slight concessions for the present Column
bian Exposition, because the railroads
felt that travel was not dependent on
such concessions. In our plan the con-
cession will of itself engender a traffic,
and hence there is reason to suppose a
very low rate of transportation can be
assured" Continuing. Mr.. Mills dilated
on the wonderful benefits to come from
such display.
A committee was appointed to prepare
a plan for convention to devise the
necessary ways and means.
Word was sent to the California delega-
ton at Chicago that the prospects for a
successful. issue of local agitation of the
finnffpr are nnnd
