A DEED FOR DEMONS
Two Bombs Found in the Hold of
the Wakefield.
Her Captain Believed 1t Was Designed
to Wreck the Ship, and
Would Not Sail.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK. March 1S-The fact has Just
come to light that just before the ship Cyrus
Wakefield sailed for San Francisco, on Fri
day morning. two dynamite bombs were
found in her hold. In consequence of this
two officers Of the ship refused to sail on
her and remained in New York. positive in
the belief that there is some scheme afoot
10 sink the craft before she reaches San
Francisco. The story of the dynamite found
among the cargo of the ship was told by
one of tn 9 officers who refused to sail with
her afferthe laGiug Of the dynamite, and
is as follows:
The first case of explosives or bombs was
found two weeks ago when the ship was
loading. II was discovered by steyedore
between the timber sGeaks on the port
side of the ship and with plankinE laid over
II. The dynamite was in an iron cylinder,
from the end of which protruded q bunch
OF matches. A piece of sandstone was sus-
pended above the matches in such a posi-
tlon that once at sea the plunging and the
rolling ship would cause the sandstone to
sway against the matches, thus ignitng
them and causing the dynamite to explode
1hls discovery caused not a little appre-
hension among the officers and crew, but as
there was no address on the case and no
SioN ho " uUW II CdNle 10 Oe III the snip
apprehension was allayed, and the work of
loading continued and the circumstance was
all but forgotten. There was a large con-
slgnment Of oil in casks. BY coincidence
or otherwise. this oil was slowed almost
over the dynamite.
just one week after the first bomb was
found great CONSERVATION was created
among those on board by the finding of a
second bomb. This was on the day before
the ship was to have sailed. The second
bomb was like the first, and was placed
similarly with train of powder leading
from small opening to a bundle of
matches. On.finding the second bomb Cap
tain Morton refused to go to sea on the
Wakefield. and another officer also declined
the sail. Finally captain willing to take
the ship out was found. and on Friday she
put to sea. The Cyrus W skefed is a wood
en- ship of 200 tons register. She carries a
general cargo ana is fully insured, as is
also the cargo.
The Cyrus Wakefield has been In the
Cape Horn service for long time, and she

READY FOR SEA.
There Is Nothing the Matter With
the Monterey


NEW YORK, March 16.-Irving NJ. Scott
Of the Union Iron Works of San Francisco,
builders of the coast defense battle ship
Monterey, is now in this city He empnat-
ically denies the truthfulness of the state
ments concerning the vessel which were
published yesterday. Mr.. Scott SAYS that
after an exhaustive examination and trial
OF different tubular boilers at The BROOKLYN
Navy yard. under the supervision of ex-
Chief Engineer Loring of the United States
navy. the Ward boilers were selected by
the Navy Department as the best. Upon
the trial Of the Monterey the highest steam
pressure on the Ward boilers was 10
pounds to the square inch. and not $50
pounds, as stated in the article referred to.
The pressure on Scotch boilers was lessened
by reducing tho valves between them and
the Ward boilers. Some slight repairs were
generally necessary after trial trip, on
account of the great strain put upon the
new machinery, and in the case of the Mon
terey it was necessary to tighten up some
tubes on the end of one of the Scotch boilers
and to put some new crate bars in the fur
mace of the Ward boilers. The Monterey
Is ready to 20 TO sea whenever any such
order is received, Mr.. Scott says.
The Times says that the account pub
hshed OF the sad plight Of the Monterey has
been taken much to heart in naval circles,
where it is believed the blame for the YES
sells condition might be attached, but, at
the same time no little surprise is expressed
by gentleman positively acquainted with
the facts as published in the Times at the
attempt of the Union Iron Works officials
to squirm clear of the real condition of
affairs. The statements published relative
to the Monterey's failure to develop the re-
quired Government horse power. and the
vessels narrow escape from serious acci-
dent, if not possible loss, are based on as
sertions of ye-wltnesses OF the vessels per-
formance, and are from source too high to
admit of shadow of doubt.

ADVISING HoKE SMITH.
Time Lost by Using the Pension
Building for the Inaugural Rail

WASHINGTON, March 18-One of the
last official acts of General Raum, late Com
missioner Of Pensions, was to write a letter
to Secretary Hoke Smith calling attention
to the serious interruption to the work of
the Pension Bureau and the loss to the
Government by the use of the Pension
building for the inaugural ball. The Com
missioner said:
II have carefully estimated the lost time
as result of this use of the building and
have decided that 1t was not less than eight
full days for the entire official force,
amounting to, say S64,000. While it is true
that the Pension Office building is the only
house in Washington City well adapted for
the accommodation of such an assemblage,
1t seems to me that such disturbance of
public business as the result of such use
would hereafter cause the honorable Secre-
tary of the Interior to decline the use of the
building for such purposes"
