SAN JOSE FRUIT REPORT.
Manager PhiIo Hersey Makes
a Most Encouraging
Statement.
Great Advantages of California In
the Matter of Storing Dried
Fruits.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 2.-Manager
Philo Hersey of the County Fruit Ex-
change, in speaking of the fruit crop pros
pect yesterday, said: "There is no de-
mand for dried fruit at this time of year,
and the market is very fat. The quantity
of dried peaches on hand is small, and as
there is no demand for them in the East,
they will probably be placed in cold stor-
age soon. The prunes on the Eastern
market are gradually being cleaned mp and
placed into consumptive channels, and
possibly there will be demand soon to
supply the immediate demands of trade
The sales on the coast are very good, and
prices remain firm at what they have been
for the past few months. Apricots are
moving off slowly at good rates. The
amount of prunes on hand in this State is
not very large, and they will readily find q
market this fall, and there will be slight
movement right along. There are no
further reports of prunes dropping, and
the crop will be a fair one.
"The growers of California, and espe-
cially Santa Clara Valley, have an adyant-
age in keeping dried fruits over the sum-
mer, for cold storage is not required, and
the fruit is in better condition after sea-
son in the warehouse than it is after cold
storage in the East. The cost of cold stor-
age is from $5 to $40 per ton, according to
the length of time the fruit remains in
storage

MARE ISLAND INQUIRY,
Result Of the Olympia Court
Martial Awaited With
Anxiety.
The Philadelphia Likely to Be Or
dered to Relieve the Baltimore
in Asiatic Waters.

VALLEJO, CAL, June 2.--It is not
known what effect the cruise of the Oiym-
pia down to Santa Cruz will have in the
matter of the court-martial of two of her
officers. The inquiry is to commence dur
ing the present week and is not likely to
be adjourned until all the facts have been
secured. Therefore the Olympia may be
without a portion of her officers and crew
during the Santa Cruz junket, they being
required as witnesses before the court-mar-
tial. The possible result of the inquiry
cannot be guessed at, though friends of
the two officers are awaiting the end with
anxiety.
1t is rumored that should the Philadel-
phia come up to the navy-yard Admiral
Beardslee will hoist his flag on board the
Olympia, and after the Philadelphia has
been docked, painted and few minor re-
pairs made, it will take number of long
time men on board and steam over to
China. When this force is distributed
throughout the squadron it will relieve the
Baltimore as flagship, and the Baltimore
will return to one of the home stations
with the short-time men on board. The
Baltimore is in need of more or less re-
pairs.
The gunboat Concord, now on the
Asiatic station, will return to Mare Island
in about six months. Her new paymas-
ter's clerk, Joseph ]. Cunningham, who
for number of years has been stationed
on board of the receiving-ship Independ-
ence, will be married tomorrow morning
to one of Valleio's brightest young ladies,
Miss Lizzie Watson. A reception will be
held at the residence of the brides sister,
Mrs. Charles Grayson, in the afternoon,
and the following day they will leave on
the mail steamer for China, where Pay
Clerk Cunningham will join the Concord
The gunboat Bennington, which left for
Honolulu on Tuesday, will not, unless
some accident occurs, return to Mare
Island for some time in the future.
Owing to the death of Secretary Gresham
social functions at the yard will cease for
ten days.
The Thetis will remain at the yard for
the next four or five months, as the
weather at this season of the year is too
disagreeable down the coast for survey
work. Quite detachment of her crew
went up to Sacramento last week to attend
session Of the Young Peoples Christian
Endeavor, or, as it is known on board the
Thetis, the FLOATING Society of Christian
Endeavor." There are a number of the
members on board.

Il COMPLICATED CASE.
NetU Developments in the Raposa- -Maesto
Abduction Case.

Ne.1 Developments in the Raposa-Maestos
Abduction Case.
SAN JOSE, CAL, June Frank M.
Silva. who was to have been the principal
witness for the prosecution in the recent
Rapoza-M abduction case, and who
disappeared before the day set for the pre-
liminary examination, has been arrested
at Fresno on charge preferred by Mrs
Rapoza, who claims he defrauded her out
of $36.
Mrs. Rapoza's 17-year-old daughter
Mariana became infatuated with laborer
employed on the Maestos place, and left
her home to live with the Maestos family,
so as to be near her lover. After repeated
efforts to induce Mariana to return to her
home, Rapoza swore to complaint charg-
ing Frank Maestos with abducting his
daughter. lat the preliminary examina-
ton the testimony introduced was not suf-
ficient to secure conviction and the case
was dismissed.
Silva, who was employed in the vicinity,
was relied upon as valuable witness.
Maestos' friends charge that the money
Silva is accused of defrauding Mrs. Rapoza
out of is money that was given him in the
hope Of securing damaging testimony from
him against Maestos.
Silva will be brought back and will have
to stand trial on the charge preferred by
Mrs. Rapoza.
The parties are all Portuguese and oc-
cupy adjoining vegetable lands in the
vicinity of Milpitas.

PRESIDENT HILL IN PORTLAND.
He Refused to Say Anything about the
Northern Pacific.


Northern Pacific.
PORTLAND, Or, June flames J.
Hill, president of the Great Northern Rail-
way, arrived here this evening over the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company's
line from Spokane, accompanied by his
wife and three children and his private
secretary. Mr.. Hill comes here to meet
Jacob H. Schiff, New York banker and
stockho1der in the Great Northern, who
will arrive tomorrow morning from San
Francisco. Together they will leave to-
morrow night or the next morning for
Seattle.
Mr.. Hills western trip is taken mostly
for rest and to inspect his line. This is at
least what he says about it. In an inter-
view he would say nothing further about
the Northern Pacific going into his con-
troll than that it was being reorganized,
and would soon be on a sound financial
basis. With the Northern Pacific in good
shape financially he predicts a renewed
prosperity to the Northwest.
Mr.. Hill denied emphatically that he had
any intention of gaining control of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Conn
pany.
1.-THE Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company" he said, "holds the key to the
railroad situation as far as it pertains to
Portland, and this city will be great deal
better off as long as the road remains in
dependent of any transcontinental road. -

characteristic of the steamship. com panies
which send their vessels to sea with car
goes slowed without regard to the safety
and comfort of passengers and only to
econonlise in expense and time in unload
ing? A superabundance of evidence points
to the latter conclusion. Vessels have
been known to leave their docks SO over
loaded that the captains have insisted on
portion of the cargoes being removed be-
fore they would put to sea. Such incidents
have not been isolated. The practice has
also, alas, been too common of taking on
heavy deckloads of lumber, trusting to
fair weather and the willingness of provi-
dence.
On several occasions vessels travelling
the route of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company's ships have been known to
carry top-heavy cargoes of coffee, it even
becoming necessary to knock out the state
room partitions in order to make stowage
room for the extra load. The comfort of
passengers was not considered; in fact, it
is seldom considered where an opportunity
tor taking on an extra cargo of profitable
freight is in the balance. Hundreds will
bear witness to this--passengers, ships
officers and seamen.
The Acapulco left port here some time
ago SO top-heavy in her load that the mas
ter of the vessel refused to leave the stream
for open water until portion of her deck
load had been removed. AS matter of
truth, according to one of the best known
stevedores on the front, the deck cargo
was such that the ship would hardly have
been safe in the swell of one of the ferries.
All this testimony has direct bearing
on the fate of the Colima. In the face of
the opinions and statements already made
there can be little doubt that the loss of
the ship and her 1S0 souls was due solely
and alone to the cupidity of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, supplemented
by the timidity and faulty management of
the vessel by her master in the moment of
supreme peril. In word, she is said by
those high in nautical authority to have
been badly loaded and top-heavy, and the
captain in seeking to save his cargo at
tempted to put about and foundered in the
trough of the sea.

CHARGES OF FRAUD MADE
An ex-Preacher of Oregon Sc
riouSIy Involved in the
Matter.
DEFENSE OF THE ACCUSED.
He Claims That There Was No At
tempt Made to Deceive In the
Transaction.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 2.-The talk
of the town to-day is a sensational land
deal in which an ex-preacher figures rather
conspicuously.
In December last the Rev. Frederick Ell
lott, formerly of Oregon. but whose home
is now in Oakland, traded lot of land in
Oregon to ]. II. Benson for $4,000 tract
of land near Santa Rosa in what is known
as the Hern School District of Sonoma
County. The proper papers and transfers
were made, signed, witnessed and duly
recorded.
Early in January Mr.. Benson and his
family moved to Oregon to settle upon the
land in question, and he says he found
neither the land nor the climate all that
they were represented to be. The land
especially was much inferior to the land
given in trade and as soon as the winds,
weather and floods would permit Mr. Ben
son hurried back to old Sonoma to call off
the trade or get satisfaction in some other
form.
He became much incensed Saturday
when he returned and found that the
meek-appearing parson had in the mean
time sold the Sonoma County ranch to
Fred Prindle of Santa Rosa, who holds
possession.
Benson has employed counsel and al
leges that the sale by Elliott to Prindle
was not bona fide and should be set aside
on the ground of collusion and fraud.
Benson bases his charges partly on the
fact that while Elliott claims to have sold
the property to Prindle some time ago the
latter has never recorded the deed of sale
and transfer, and also on the fact that the
Rev. Mr.. Elliott had been selling off part
of the tract to other parties. In fact Ell
lott was to have arrived in Santa Rosa
Saturday last to close a third sale of part OF
the tract to another party. He failed to
arrive on time, however, and the sale was
not effected.
Meantime Benson's attorneys have
served an injunction to prevent the record
ing of any more transfers of any part of
the land to other parties.
Mr.. Elliott claims to have told Mr.. Ben
son at the time the trade was made that he
had not seen the land and he proved from
certain papers, to Benson's satisfaction,
that the land must be as valuable as his
Sonoma land given in exchange.
Benson says he will make it hot for
somebody and the end is not vet.

CYLINDER OUT OF ORDER.
An Engineer of the Line 1hro,cs a Ne,s
Li1ht on the Afnir.

IHTOtCS N61G
Light on the Afair.
John Ellis, first assistant engineer on
one of the Panama steamers, said:
at was purely and simply case of poor
loading. The Colima was top-heavy, and
just as like as not, when she got in her
worst fix, the strong cylinder gave way. 1
am credibly informed, or was, at least, by
one of the unfortunate machinists on
board the Colima, that Notwithstanding
the fact she had been recently overhauled,
the strong cylinder gave them much
trouble-that is, the receiving cylinder, so
to speak, next to the boilers. It takes the
steam direct from the boilers and trans
mits it to the smaller cylinders. Even
though it should be decided to navigate
the vessel with the smaller cylinders. it
would take two or three hours to make the
necessary change in the machinery, and
in the meantime the ship would be with
out headway. Were such break to occur
during gale or in swell such as the Co.
lima is supposed to have encountered, the
ship could not be handled. She would be
at the mercy of the elements. When once
she listed with shifting cargo nothing
could be done except to take to the boats.
ut seems, however, from the stories of the
survivors, as we get them over the wires,
that no effort was made to tighten the
cargo, and there again comes the PROPOSE
ton of the deckload of lumber. What
could have been done2 The lumb was
shifting and ones life apparently was in
danger from flying timbers, bundles of
lath, shingles, scantling, etc. But, to sum
up, am satisfied the ship was not properly
loaded"

Gays and thousands upon thousands have
been on the alert for the latest and most
authentic information of this terrible sea

There is no longer any doubt that the

headed management of her master in the
fatal hour when she rolled and listed in
the trough of the heavy seas.
But the seas were not such as to account
for the loss of the vessel and the precious
lives aboard were it not for the bad loadino
and the mismanagement in the time oi
awful peril. The consensus of opinion
from the most eminent authorities is to the
effect that at this season OF the year the
weather is definitely local. 1t is rare for
heavy blows to occur, though there NAV be
strong swell. Men who have traversed
the course of vessels from this port to Cen.
trail America are of one accord in the opin.
ion that severe storms in that latitude al
this time of year are extremely rare, and
the fact that a freight steamer passed over
the same course about the same time the
Colima went down and experienced moth.
ing more than the customary blow of the
trade winds may be considered as conclu-
sively confirmatory.
