The Cruiser Olympia Soon
in Commission.
To Be Dispatched Immediately to
Chinese Waters-An Army
of Men at Work.

The efforts of the United States Navy
Department toward increasing the force
in Chinese waters has resulted in the hur
ried completion of the 5S00-ton cruiser
Olympia. which will soon be delivered at
Mare Island to the Government and as
early as her complement Of AGO sailors,
marines and officers can be provided will
be dispatched to the scene of the present
conflict to reinforce the rather out-of-
date navy which is now looking after the
interests of the citizens of the United
States in those troublous chimes. The tur-
ret armor. for which the contractors have
waited fox over two years, has finally ar
rived, and now an army of workmen is
employed light and day in placing the
armor, fixing the electric lights. installing
the gun mounts, building the magazines
and finishing the wood work in so CON-
plete condition that when the Olympia is
delivered at Mare Island a few weeks
hence there will be left nothing to do but
to ship her armament and crew aboard
preparatory to taking her place as the
flagship of the Chinese squadron.
The armament of the Olympia consists
of four S-inch guns, ten 5-inch rapid. hiring
guns, fourteen 6-inch. besides the ones
provided for the military masts. Her tor
pedo equipment will be put aboard al
Mare Island. The Olympia has been
about three and half years under con.
struction at the Union Iron Works and
compared with the Charleston, the first
cruiser turned out at the works, is over
twice as large.
The battle-ship Oregon is still waiting
for her side armor. but large force il
hard at work completing her inside
works. The Olympia is the crack cruis eli
Of the United States navy and will cost
the Government over $4,000, 600 when
comDleted.

better of her desire to keep his counsel.

exclaimed almost in tears. "Givs me

But her son refused TO understand her
appeal as utterly as if she had spoken in
an unknown tongue. He devoted his at
tention entirely to resisting the desire of
the officers to search the house on the
ground that 1850 McAllister street was his
mothers and not his residence.
Mrs. Griffith strenuously backed up this
statement, and finally the doctor was led
tc the City Hall without any search being
made.

eyes have peculiar slant to their out

the suspicion that there may be Mongo-
