MONTEREY BACK.
Stories of Sufferings Are
Denied.
There Were Seventeen DesertiOns
but Not One Was of a COntinu-
Gus Service Man.

The United States coast defense vessel
Monterey arrived yesterday from her
northern trip. during which she gave the
residents of Puget Sound. Astoria. Port
land and Willipa Harbor the opportunity
of seeing the newest thing in the way of a
floating fort for protecting harbors. She
played to big houses over the entire cir
cult, admissions at Portland on the open
ing matinee being over 10000. The cruise
was uneveDtful.
ALI hands aboard ship-the commanding
officer and those next to him, the petty
officers, seamen and 6remen-give fiat,
unanimous denial to the story published
here few days ago about leaky boilers,
extreme heat, burned deck plank, redhot
smokestack and the construction of a
cofferdam around it, The desertion story
has more than two parts lie TO one part
truth. There were exactly seventeen de-
Serti0ns-eight at Seattle, eight at Port
land and one at Tacoma. Four we're lands
men. five coalpassers. two second class
tiremen. one frst-class fireman and one
thlrd-clasS apprentice. OF these not one
had ever been in the navy before except a
fireman named Whittv. and he had one
years service on the Alhatross. Not one
of the deserterS was a continuous service
man.
The sensational story, so all hands
aboard ship say, must have emanated
from Witty, who was run out Of tie ship
By the men for beastly conducL. Ii he had
not left he would have been discharged in
disgrace as soon as the vessel reached San
Francisco.
Lieutenant E. c. PendIeton. executive
officer of the Monterey, after giving eX-
plcit denial to the published story, said
the only incident on the trip out OF the
ordinary routine was the use of Ignite
(Franklin) coal taken on at Seattle. This
coal, which is very light, gave some trouble
because it puffed up in the smokestack
and demonstrated that it was unsuita Bile
for vessel which used a forced draught.
At Portland better coal was secured and
thereafter no trouble was experienced. 81

Awaiting himself of this permits

their spokesman when he said: There

can't draw a full months pay till you
have earned 500, but here they let us
draw up 10 s. or 81 Of what is coming to
US. Our quarters are as cool as the officers
rooms, and we've had very few nights
when we did not find our blankets neces-
sary. We sleep forward and the boilers
are aft, so the story about heat Is sheer
nonsense"

FOOD FOR SHARKS.
A Sailor Sees His Mates
DeVOured.
Awful Experience of Three Men
Sealing in Japanese Waters.
One Is Saved.

A few days since the telegraph brought
from the north brief account OF the tragic
death of two seaIers, Isad0re and John
Sheldon. in Japanese waters, and the res
cue of Theodore Anderson, who was
brought from YOk Ohama to Victoria still
suffering from his terrible experience.
Anderson has written to friend in this
city few particulars of the thrilling ad-
venture. The three men mentioned left
the schooner Arieties on June l, eighty
miles off Yen-os-Kuna. and after getting
dozen seals lost sight Of the schooner.
At nightfall they heard the vessels guns
and pulled in the direction OF the sound.
Next morning they heard the guns again,
but the sound was as far off as ever. and
finally they lost the schooner altogether.
The adventure is best told in Anderson 8
own Ords:
"fhe water every hour was getting
worse. and we could see gale was rising.
so we prepared Tor it. We took the fifteen
skins that were in the boat with the mast
and oars and tied them securely to the
painter for a sea anchor. A shark, how
ever. soon made away with the SKINS, and
we were obliged to replace them with our
guns. AS We were flashing The ammunition
box also to the rope we capslZed. The air
compartments in the ends rlghted the boat
at once. All three of Us got in again and
started to bail the boat, but soon had to
give it up as bad job. In spite of all we
could do the boat capsiZed repeatedly, and
each time left US weaker. The fourth
time Johnny was LOST. l noticed him a
short distance behind when was SWIM
ming for the boat, and just as glanced
around on getting 10 the boat saw the
swish of a sharks tail and knew that
Johnny was done for. The same shark

over first The sixth time we capsized

not carried away, l sat down to wait.

MANY MEN WALK.
Streetcar Companies in Hard Lines.
Many Cars Taken Off.

The spirit of economy is abroad in the
land and just now the streetcar companies
appear to suffer from it.
Business men who ordinarily would pay
a nickel to ride few blocks rather than
walk keep the five cents in their pockets
and utilize the means of locomotlon af-
forded them by nature.
All Of the various streetcar lines have
found it necessary to reduce their rolling
stock in use.
Several cars have been taken off the
Howard-street line and a change made in
the manner of running the cars, formerly
making Twenty sixth street that end Of
their route.
One of the directors of the line said that
about eighteen months ago they had COM
menced running every third car through,
to the turntable at Twenty-sixth street.
while the remainder turned at Twenty
fourth. The proportionate amount of
travel was so greatly in favor OF the latter
cars that change was deemed necessary.
and as the running of one car in every
four through to Twenty-sixth street would
make the intervals Of waiting too long, it
was thought to be the better plan to run
ali cars out Twsntv-fourth street and
transfer all Twenty-sixth street passen-
GERS at that point. For this purpose horse
cars are nom in use. but it Is expected to

dismissed Yesterday upon the motion OF
