SLIPPED FROM THE ROCKS,
A Young Man Said to Have
Been Lost Near the Cliff
House.
Constantine kaufer Saw Him Fall
in the Surf and Tried in Vain
to Save Him.

A young man whose identity is yot vet
known slipped off one of the outlying
rocks near the Cliff House yesterday after
noon and was lost in the surf. The Morgue
officials had not heard of any such occur
renee in that vicinity at a late hour last
night, but the testimony of Constantine
kaufer, an eyewitness of the affair, is to
the effect that the young man sank some
distance from shore, and after struggling
for several minutes in a choppy surf was
lost from sight.
Mr.. Kaufer was seen at his home, 1439
Ellis street, last evening, and told his story
OF the drowning as he saw it.
''It was about 2 O'Clock in the after
noon, he said. 81 had gone to the beach
with my two boys and found good fish
ing-place nearly under the ledge of rocks
beneath the Cliff House. A few hundred
yards from where | sat | noticed young
man on one of the large rocks lying pretty
far out in the surf and nearer the car-line
terminus.
''0ne of my boys suddenly called to me
and looked up in time to see the strange
fisherman stumble and fall headlong into
the water. | hurried back to the beach and
then walked out on the small rocks to
where he had been sitting. 1t was yery
foggy and l only saw him for a moment at
a time. l called for assistance, but of the
large crowd which gathered none seemed

could do nothing to save him. | waited
for some time and then took his bag and
pole, which have in the house. Several
other persons on the rocks above yelled TO
me number of times when they caught a
glimpse OF him. He was man of mayb
% years and wore dark suit. l recall
nothing else in his appearance"
There were two other accidents at the
beach yesterday, but in neither case did
any one fall into the surf. Mr.. Kaufer is
positive the man was drowned

District Engineer J. ]. Conlon of Relief
Engine B met with a painful accident
while driving 10 the fire at 2015 Leaven-
worth street yesterday afternoon, which

jagged point of the steel stuck into one
of the horses hoofs. The animal became
frightened and ran away, throwing Conlon

Conlon was unconscious when picked
up, but soon revived and was taken TO his

injuries were dressed. Besides being

lacerated scalp. The injuries though
serious are not dangerous. The driver

MOUNTAIN OF WHEAT
Immense Quantities to Be Sod
at San Francisco.
MAY BE A BIG BEAR SCHEME
Estate Of James &. Fair Has Had The
Cereal stored in immense Ware
houses al Port Costa.

San Francisco. April 29.-The Evening
Bulletin says that the 100000 tons Of
syndicate wheat which has been
stored for two years in the warehouse
OF the late James G. Fair at Port Costa
has been placed on the market. The
wheat is Of the crop Of 1928 and 1894.
1t IS said that the Luning estate loaned
Fair 81, 100000 to corner" the wheat,
and that the Luning estate manage
ment, nervous for fear that weevil
might damage its security, has pressed
the Fair estate to take up this loan.
The 1892 and 1898 wheat can not under
the rules be sold on change, so the
wheat will be advertised to buyers gen
orally. II is estimated to be worth
$l,S00,000, Whether sold here or not,
the getting of such quantity Of wheat
out Of port will be a problem. Nego-
tiations have been made for a ship
ment of part of the wheat by rail to
New Orleans, thence to Liverpool 1t
would require 5000 cars to move half
the stored syndicate wheat. To ship
all the wheat to Liverpool would take
seveIty-flVe vessels.

TO BE TRIED FOR HIS LIFE.
Formal Charge Against DuIant for the
Killing of AliSs Lamont

San Francisco, Apri! 27.-Theodore
Durrant was taken from his cell in the
city prison today and formally charged
with the murder Of Miss Blanche La
mont. He has grown very sIrly for the
past two days and made no effort to
conceal his irritation this morning.
How much more are you going TO
charge me With?" he growled at Detec-
tive Seymour. who sWOre to the com.
plaint.
The prison officials are confident tbs.
Durrant's visitors bring him drugs
which enable him to sleep II hours a
day. TO the use of these oplates his
increasing irritabiity is ascribed lie
is fast becoming what is known as an
undesirable and troublesome prisoner.
Chief Crowley has ordered that III
notice shall be taken Of anything tie
prisoner says, the minor officials having
complained OF Durrant's rudeness. Dur
rant is treated with the greatest consit-
GRAFTON. He occupies the most COM
Portable cell in the prison, has beAl |
permitted to receive visitors at all hours |
and is not thrown in contact with 9th n |
prisoners. The preliminary exaninar ton |
IN the Williams case will probably be /
concluded on Tuesday and the inquest t
in the Lamont case commences on t1e |
following day.
Friends OF Durrant still affect to be-
l1eve IN his innocence, even promising
TO solve the mystery of the murder,
hlnting the murders We're the work Of
a m1ddle-aged married resident Of Chief
who has since disappeared
The plan of District Attorney Barnes
to try Durrant for the Lamont murder
first is generally commended. Consid-
cred alone, the Williams case is deemed
weak for the prosecution and with an
other case to be tried, jury verdict Of
guilty would be doubtful. The prosecu-
ton fears the moral effect OF an acquit-
tai In one case. The evidence in the
Lamont crime is considered much more
conclusive. Il is probable that the
grand jury will be asked TO indict Dur
ant for the Lamont murder. Ibis
would render unnecessary preliminary
police court investigation

THE LATEST STATUS.
rHIs TROUBLE Is NOT SETTLED ,EJ
Great Britain Wants 1hc Indemnity paid
n the Presence OF Her Fleet


IN the Presence Of Her Fleet.
Washington, April 30.-At the state
department the news that Nicaragua
would pay the 1880 indemnity within
Is days after the departure Of British
troops was seemingly expected though
no direct adyices had been received
by the department. In fact, Minister
Baker is now in Costa Rica, and there
is very little communication between
this government and the legation at
Managua.
Tt was learned at the department
that the acceptance by NIcaragu Of the
terms which have been proposed does
not mean that the affair is settled Ii
is understood that Ambassador Bay
ard throughout the controversy has
had to encounter difficulty which is
still presented. The British government
wants the money paid in the presence
OF the British fleet at Corinto, for while
the fleet is still there and the British are
III possession Of the town the British
gol eminent, according to a state de-
partment official, wants the payment
made as though under duress 1t is
hoped, however. that the offer made at
the suggestion Of the United States and
which Managua adyices say have been
satisfactory to the Nicaraguan gov
ernment, will be agreed to by the Brit
ish government, and assurances to this
effect have been received.
1t appears Ill this connection shat
the threat of a revolution in Nicaragua
has given the United States an opportu-
nifty to urge with more force q peacea- /
bic settlement Of the present difficulty |
as such a result of British occupation
might seriously threaten the lives and
property of the United States citizens.
AS to the possible arbitration of the !
remaining questions III dispute between /
Great Britain and Nicaragu it is lln-
derstood that the United States expects +
to be represented. which viii probably /
not be rufused by Great Britain. This. /
it is said, Will not be allowed to inter /
fere with the settlement OF the ft5 SEQ |
claim by payment within two weeks,
as proposed.
Although the state department has
sanctioned the principle Of the right of I
a European nation to collect indemnity +
for a national insult offered to it by an (
American nation, or to secure redress
for the abuse or ill-treatment Of It's
citizens and infringe1nents on their /
property rights, ii can safely be pre-
dicted that 1t will not under any cir
cumstances permit any European gov
to attempt by the display Of
force to collect moneys owing by the
