A check book containing two
dollars worth of five.cent checks,
has been issued by the canteen.
The checks are not good IL de-
tached, and the book is not trans
ferable. All of the brass checks
have been called in and cancelled.
1t is reported that several of the
saloons in the vicinity of the post
have been caught "long" on brass
checks with a consequent depres-
sion of spirits. The only advan-
tage the paper checks have over
the brass ones, is that they are not
negotiable, and consequently can
not be used as gambling stakes
and will not be accepted as cur
rency by the saloons. The men
look upon the new innovation with
disfavor, and the canteen patron
age will suffer.
Private Fisher, of the hospital
corps, now stationed at Fort McIn-
tosh, has been transferred to the
hospital at this post.
A grsnd-reception and ball will
be given tonight at department
headquarters by the officers of the
post and prominent citizens of San
Antonio to General and Mrs. Bliss.
An elaborate program has been
prepared.
The quartermaster, who, by the
way, is very energetic, is about to
place a flag staff on the tower on
which to display weather signals.
When the rain flag is displayed it
will be in order to prepare for mud.
A court martial has been ap-
pointed to convene at Fort Ring
gold.
The post school for enlisted men
for instructions in the RS, opened
yesterday with forty pupils,
Private Hook, of Sergeant Major
Seymour's office, being the in
structor. He has furnished himself
with a large club which he pro.
poses to use vigorously on those
who do not come up to time, or are
tardy, or playing hockey or sick.
Excuses OF running on errands will
not be tolerated.
A number of officers will leave
here this week on a hunting trip
to the coast. They have had a boat
built which will be shipped today.
The floor of the hard ball court
will be finished tomorrow, and the
opening game will be played Sun
day next.
Captain Schuyler, who is a dead
game hunter, went out recently
with one hundred rounds of am
munition, Ono blanks, and re.
turned with five doves. He brought
back no ammunition, however.
They are still dishing up the
chile at Jefferson Barracks, and
Colonel Henry appears to have or.
dered plate.
Major Moore, acting inspector
general, is still inspecting Fort
Riley.
The order changing the troops
will arrive this week, sure, and the
first Of December will see them on
the road.

CONFESSED A MURDER.
Caesario Morales Claimed He
Killed His Wife in
Mexico.
PECULIAR HALLUCINATIONs.
Said the Nurses and Attendants
Had Made Away With His
Employer.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Oct. 10.-Cesario
Morales, who met with an accident about
five weeks ago at the southern end of the
county while jumping from a moving
train, thereby iniuring his foot, and who
has since been under treatment in the
County Hospital went on a rampage last
night and attacked Hospital Steward
Hodgdon. He concealed caseknife in
his clothing and at a favorable oppor-
tunity made vicious stab at Hodgdon.
The knife struck the man in the side, rip
ping his coat and vest and striking his
watch. A second blow made slight cash
in Hodgdons left arm and broke the blade
of the knife.
During the past eight days Morales has
shown pronounced symptoms of insanity.
He tells a story of having killed his wife
in Cinaloa, Mexico, and fleeing the coun-
try to escape arrest. Whether or not this
is one of his many fancies is hard to tell.
His chief hallucination is that the hos
pital people had killed his old employer,
Ed White of Watsonville. He also thinks
that poison has been put in his coffee at
different times, and mentions several other
imaginary wrongs as an excuse for his at
tack last evening upon Hodgdon. Morales
was brought to town and was to-day
adjudged insane and committed to Ag-
news, where he will be taken tomorrow.

TO MARX DESERT WASTES,
ProSpectorS to Be Guided
Across the Colorado Des-
ert in Safety.
San Rernardlno's Treasure Ground,
From Which Over $2O,OoO.OoO
Has Come.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct. TO-
The Supervisors of San Bernardino
County, after consultation with mining
men and civil engineers, have decided to
designate on a suitable map the roads,
trails, water supplies and prominent land
marks of the Colorado Desert. Heretofore
many lives have been lost, and the object
in view is to make it possible for prospec-
tors to travel that arid region with COM
parative safety. In addition to this sign
boards are to be erected at water supplies,
and also along the trails and roads, giving
any information that may be needed,
especially as regards the nearest water
sources. There is also talk of developing
water where none is found, and of cleaning
and protecting springs from pollution by
wild animals and careless prospectors.
During the last thirty years fully $40, 600,
600 worth of ore has been taken from the
desert mines in this county, and there is
every indication that the output in the
future will be even greater than in the
past. If this is so the trade of the desert
will form a considerable market for the
products of the valleys, and the Super
visors are anxious to help the mineral de-
velopment in every way.

FIRST CARGO OF GUANO.
Ten Tons of the Fertilizer
From Channel Islands at
Santa Barbara.
Prospect of This Industry Becom-
ing of Great Importance
to California.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Oct. 10.-The
first cargo of guano ever taken from the
Channel Islands lies in this harbor to-day,
having been brought in by the schooner
Glenn, and now awaits purchaser at S12
ton. The cargo consists of ten tons, and
was taken from the Gull or Princes
Island, that beautiful mountainous islet
lying across the mouth of Cuyler's harbor,
San Miguel Island.
This little isle possesses great historical
interest from the decision recently reached
by historians and scientists that it was
somewhere along its summit that the body
of Cabrillo. the famous early Spanish ex-
plorer, in all probability lies.
There is more guano there, which will
doubtless be shipped if this venture proves
successful. The great drawback to OBJ
tanning it is the fact that the sides of the
islands are SO precipitous that the fertil-
lZer has to be brought down in sacks on
the shoulders of the sailors. The schooner
Glenn halls from San Diego, where several
vessels have long made good wages carry
ing cargoes o. guano from the Southern
California coast. The Mexican authori-
ties, learning of this industry, recently eff
fectually checked 1t by sending two armed
vessels to patrol the Southern California
coast.
This has led those engaged in the busi-
ness to make an inspection of the channel
islands, and it is probable that q new, if
somewhat limited, industry will be opened
here in consequence. Aside from the de-
posits on Princes Island, there are large
quantities on rocky islet lying some
eight miles off to the west of San Miguel
Anacapa has considerable deposit some
what difficult OF access. Other little islets
could contribute their quota to the COM
merce' and San Nicolas Island, the south
ern member OF the group, would probably
repay the guano hunters visit.
This guano is by no means so valuable in
quality as that which is found in the rain
less regions off the Peruvian coast, but is
fully equal to that found on the Southern
California coast In the local market it is
usually valued at from $40 to SIS ton,
but The most profitable sales are made to
the Sandwich Islanders, where the plant
ers whose land is Impoverished. and who
have no native fertilizers, pay as high as
from $50 TO $40 ton for the Californian de-
posits. Should these deposits prove of
sufficient extent, this is the market to
which the guano Will probably be taken.

tenders for treasury notes, for which there
was not single bidder. 1t is well known
to the leading merchants at Honolulu that
the Treasurer is without funds other than
those forming special deposits and, as
| necessity knows no law, the Minister will
be compelled to violate these deposits as
last resort. Much comment is freely made
at the deception practiced by the Minister
| of Finance by the publication of treasury
statements manipulated for the purpose of
deception. A popular demand for the de-
posit in the Postal Savings Bank would
force the Government into bankruptcy.
The low price for products which has ruled
during the past year, for which there seems
| to be no present relief, has forced sugar
and rice estates to the practice of the very
closest economy and but little money is in
circulation.
As an evidence of the present demorali-
| zation l may state case which took place
recently. Frank Godfrey, the correspond
ent of an American newspaper, was treated
at the cholera hospital and upon his re-
lease made some wild assertions as to the
| condition of affairs in the hospital, partlc-
| ularly of the treatment OF ladies' aff1lcted
with the cholera. The state ments were so
wild that they could do no harm, as no one
credited them, but some of the over-zeal-
Gus friends of the Board of Health abb
Quoted Godfrey and treated him to coat
of tar and feathers. All classes of citizens
denounce the outrage as cowardly, yet
many consider the necessity OF going
armed after nightfall.
Public opinion has finally forced the
hand of President Dole and led to the
release of forty or more political prisoners,
among them the Queen, who alone is on
parole. all the others having been released
| Internationally. The release of the Queen
on parole operates to prevent any demon
stration of the Queen's subjects, which un-
doubtedly otherwise would have been
undertaken.
Those who have seen the Queen report
her to be in a fine state of health, but
dignifed and reserved in her manner.
An electoral vote of these islands would
unouestionably support her claims were
she allowed to present them. The native
element has been welded to her by the
outrageous treatment that she has received
from the hands of those who should have
upheld her and her rule. 1t is safe to say
that the present Government is not looked
upon as a settlement of our political
differences. In fact, the situation here Is
decidedly South American from any point
| of view.

VERY TURBULENT STUDENTS.
They Burst Into UssicersitU and
Smashed WindotCs and Lamps.

BARCELONA, ITALY, Oct. 10.--The stu
dents at the university here who lately
INDUCED in riotous demonstrations that
called for the interference of the police
have resolved to stop all the classes until
Odon. who was suspended, sh all have been
reinstated. In accordance with this reso-
luton the riotous students to-day burst
into the university, smashed windows and
lamps and prevented the classes being
held. They demanded that the rector re-
sign.
The students tried to force an entrance
into the hospital, presumably with the in
tention of breaking up the clinics there,
but the police charged and dispersed them.
Odon advised the turbulent youths to pre-
serve order, assuring them that it was his
intention to vindicate his rights.

ONTARIO, CAL, Oct. 10.-The people of
Ontario are much pleased at the prospect
of a large body of land adjoining their
thriving community being thrown open to
settlement. The announcement has been
made by W. H. Holabird OF the Chino
Ranch Company that about 1000 acres of
the Chino ranch will soon be put under a
system of irrigation.
Mr. Holabird says that his company has
already secured 500 inches of water in the
neighborhood of San Bernardino and that
the necessary surveys for bringing it to
Chino will soon be made. This will be a
good thing for all the surrounding country,
as it will bring under cultivation very
large tract of excellent land.

Foolish PldcGrd.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct 1o.-A dispatch
to morning paper from Honolulu, dated
October 2, says: The city was greatly ex-
cited on September 16 by the statement
contained in placards posted in public
places that the authorities were burying
people alive. The notice appealed strongly
to the prejudlces of the natives, and caused
much feeling. Steps were taken to find
out the author of the placards.
The next day Frank Godfrey, who is
we'll known in the Pacific Coast States, was
tarred and feathered for his supposed con-
nection with the affair. Shortly after the
cholera broke out Godfrey declared that he
saw the burial of five persons and the COM
mitting of other atrocities under the au-
thority OF the Board of Health.
Godfrey has declared that he will sue
the Hawaiian Government for damages
through United States Minister Willis.
