THE MANAGERS STORY
r. p. Schwerin Says the Colima Was Prop
erIy Loaded


SAN FRANCISCO, June 19.-R. P.
Schwerin, president and general
manager of the Pacific Mail company. was
examined this afternoon by the United
States insI ectors of hulls and boilers, in
connection with the found ing of the
steiner Colima on the coast of Mexico on
May Goth. Schwerin testified that he
was an officer of the United States navy
for seven years. He had inspected the
Colima before she left San Francisco and
found her in good condition. upon which
he congratulated Captain Taylor and ad-
monished HIM to take good care of the
ship ana passengers. He states that he
inspected all the Pacific Mail steamers
before they went to sea. The life boats
were really for service and if they were
lashed he said it would take only min
ute to cut the ropes. ScLwerin admitted
that the lumb ber was piled three feet high
on the Colimas deck, but said the lum-
Der was securely lashed for ordinary
weather. He was positive the lumber
did not make the Colima top heavy.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The western lines

Pacific an assurance that they will have
anything to do with the reorganization of
the lines of the Western Passenger asso-

of reorganizing the Colorado traffic with

SAN FRANCISCO. June ia fire at
the Presidio reservation today will cost
the United States government about $780,,
600. The fire was discovered in the gun
shed of Light Battery f. and before an
engine arrived the building was consum.
ed. The shed cost only $4,000. but it con.
tanned eight four-inch rifled guns of the
Latest pattern, each of which cost about
$4,000. The guns were badly warped and
the carrinses so twisted that they are abb
solutely ruined. Besides the guns a
number of valuable stores were in the
buildings all of which were damaged SO
they are unfit for use. The origin of the
fire is unknown and is now being inves-
tigated. There were soma luhricators
stored in the shed, and the theory of
Colonel Graham is that the fire was caus-
ed by spontaneous combustion.

STRONG SENATORS.
They outplay the Missionaries and
Win the Last Game.

Win the Last Game.
Some stupid base running and a
few costly errors gave the Senators
the last game Of the first series
with the Missionaries yesterday.
| Between 300 and 400 people were
present, and the way they shouted
when the locals scored showed
that the team will be a favorlte
here if it plays winning ball. The
game was the most interesting Of
the three, as far as the score goes.
San Antonio went first to the
bat and scored one in the first inn
ing. Austin tied the score and
went San Antonio one better in her
first. San Antonio scored again in
the second, tieing the score. 1t re-
NAMED so until the fourth, when
the locals scored two more runs,
making the score / to 2 for San
Antonio. The crowd cheered wild
ly, and it looked as If the Mission
aries would win the game. But
fate was against them, and Austin
scored two runs in the fourth, again
tieing the score. Neither side tai
lied in the fifth, but in
the sixth three runs came
in, making the score to /
for San Antonio. The Mission
aries went out in one-two-three
order in the seventh, while the
Senators made a brace Of three in
their half, tieing the score for the
third time. San Antonio's last
runs were scored in the eighth,
when two men came in. Every
thing looked well for awhile, but it
was short while, for in Austin's
eighth, Schachern, the first Sena-
tor up, lifted the ball just high
enough to go over left field fence and
trOtted home, the score then being
to 8 for San Antonio. But before
the inning was over Austin scored
four more runs on Reese's muff OF
McBride's fly, singles by Boucher
and Van Dresser, Abbott's wild
throw to first off Gates hit and
Broderick's home run, making the
final score y to for Austin.
The San Antonio team left for
Galveston over the Southern
Pacific last night, where it plays
today, Wednesday and Thursday.
From Galveston the team goes to
Houston for three games Friday,
Saturday and Sunday and will re-
turn to San Antonio with Calves
ton to play the Sand Grabs here
next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, April 30 and 30 and
May |.
The team left with nine men and
is in rather crippled condition,
Kaymer having a very bad index
finger on the right hand, and
Graney suffering from a spiked
foot.
Rightfielder Anderson was given
notice Of release last night and
was not taken along. Pitcher Tyler
