Alarm on Mare Island.
VALLEJO, July 11.-Persons not
emploved on Mare Island were sur
prised when landing there yester-
day morning to be stopped by
sergeant of the guard and shown
the special order of Commander
Howison forbidding anybody not
employed from moving about the
ward without a pass from either
the commandant or captain of the
yard. The cause of the order was
the fact that vast quantities OF
arms, ammunition and weapons
are stored on the island, and stran-
gers SO disposed might land, take
the buildings SO occupied, and an
assault perhaps be made later. The
issuance of the order was preclpl-
tated by the discovery and cap
ture between II and 1 o'clock yes
terday morning of two suspicious
looking men. They were prowllng
about the arsenal. Their boat was
about twenty feet long, decked
fore and aft, with jib and mainsalls
and contained provisions. The men
said they came from near Walnut
Grove and put in at Mare Island.
They did not know what place 1t
was at the time. AS they had not
committed themselves, the Conn
mandant let them go, the yard
launch conveying them to where
their boat had been left. There
was considerable excitement for
time, as the men were taken for
scouts, and the doubt of this is not
vet entirely removed. Telegraphic
orders ordered Lieutenant Reeder,
of the Charleston, to form all the
sailors on that ship, the Monterey,
and the Thetis into one battalion,
subject to an emergency call from
Ruger. A boat is expected to take
down twenty-seven officers and
men, thought to be needed by Ru-
ger in opening the mail route to
Ogden. The crews of the ships in
commission have been drilling with
rifles and Calling guns back of the
barracks.
Demonstration in New York.
New York, July 1.-THE open
air mass meeting in Union Square
tonight, the object of which was to
protest against the use of the regu-
lar army in the case of the strikes,
did not turn out to be the success
its projectors anticipated, the cause
being heavy rain and thunder
storm which broke out just before
the meeting was called to order.
At one time the speakers had eX-
tremeIy few listeners and the ora
tons were punctuated by peals of
thunder, the glare of the electric
lights being made Intellectual by
the more vivid flashes from the
sky. Most of the audience flew for
shelter but few remaining behind
to cheer the speakers, who stood
underneath a canopy which con-
sisted of huge umbrella. AS the
rain abated the audience returned
from their sheltering places, and
later. when there were indications
of a cessation of the storm, there
were from 1000 to 5000 persons in
the square. The demonstration was
arranged by the Social Labor par
", the Central Labor Federation,
the District Assembly Knights of
Labor and other bodies. Speeches
were delivered by prominent social
lists and resolutions were adopted
favoring the election of public Off
GERS who could be depended on to
right the grievances of the laboring
classes.

their own fault. Some striking Is
