MARE ISLAND NAVAL WORK,
NAVY YARD ATTACHES DENY THAT
REPAIRS TO WARSHIPS ARE
BOTCHWORK.
FOREMAN CAMPBELL DIsCREDITs
THE REPORT CONCERNING
THE BENNINGTON.

VALLEJO, Feb. 2i.-The allegations of
poor workmanship in the repairs to the
warshlps at Mare Island Navy yard,
notably the Boston and the gunboat Ben
nington, which is said to have put into a
Mexican port owing to the collapse of two
of her boilers, have caused small sensa-
ton in this city and at the yard. The at
taches of the yard deny the truth of the
reports.
''The work was done in manner" said
Foreman Campbell, when interviewed,
''that will stand an investigation of any
character, and the steam engineering de-
partment of Mare Island courts an inquiry
into the work on the Bennington.
Reports going through the columns

ST. LOUIS, Feb. PA. Duclas Salinas,
publisher of Las Dos Naciones, and author
of "Riches of Mexico and It's Institutions, +"
which was issued under the authority of
the Mexican committee, criticizes the ac-
ton of the Ways and Means Committee
of Congress in tampering with the ssfree
zone" or "zona libra, as it is called, of
Mexico.
"If the resolution presented to the
House and passed, and now before the Sem
ate, becomes a law, it will work great harm
to our trade" said the Mexican journalist
in an interview. England, from whom
this country took the trade with Mexico
fifteen years ago." concluded Mr.. Salinas,

back, and will urge retaliation This
would be a calamity. Our trade has in

equipment. 1t is also provided that the
hull and propeling engines of the boat
shall be built in this State. The boat when
finished is to be stationed at San Fran
cisco, unless the Governor directs other
wise The Governor is allowed to keep
the boat where he pleases. The city at
which it is stationed may be required to
man and maintain it and is allowed to
control it, although the Governor may, at
his discretion, relieve the city of the
burden of the running expenses of the
boat, in which case the bill does not state
who shall pay them. The boat is to be
under the control of the Governor,
whether the city at which it is stationed
maintains it or not,
A peculiar feature of the appropriation is
that the directors draw upon the $4,000
directly without the interposition of the
State Board of Examiners.
Ex-Mayor Ebert was in town tonight
He said such boat was matter of neces-
sity in San Francisco. But he added,
81 cannot for the life of me see why the
State should be expected to pay for it,
We need police-boat, too. do not think
fireboat is much more matter of State
affair than a police-boat would be. Both
would protect State property, to be sure,
but they would be a greater protection to
San Francisco. This matter of board of
five citizens seems rather cumbersome to
me. If it is to be built should think the
State officials could better attend to the
construction of the fireboat, and it should
then be made portion of the Fire Depart
ment. cannot Judge of the cost of it."
A number of Assemblymen were spoken
to about the bill They all looked upon it
as local matter with San Francisco, and
none of them were willing to grant the
$4,000 on the peculiar terms upon which
1t was asked for, even if the State had the
money to spare. The bill has not yet ap-

there can be no easier way of finding out
than making an investigation. The vessel
is not away from the yard, so If there is
any truth in the printed statement it can
be found out. The work done on all the
vessels at Mare Island is finished in man
ner that can cause no reflection.
''Not only do the reports smirch the de-
partment in which the work is done, but
also lead outsiders to believe that lnefi-
cient naval officials are stationed at the
yard, which is not so. The work on the
Bennington was carefully inspected and
pronounced first class by officials, and the
repairs to the Boston will be found exactly
the same"

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.-Many bills were
crowded to the desk in the Assembly to-
day at every available opportunity
Among them was bill by Fassett appro-
priating $4,000 for the establishment at
Folsom of a plant to grind up the blue
trap-rock for the construction of roads
throughout the State. The bill provides
that the plant is not to be started till

cubic yards of the powdered stone. 1t is
then to be delivered to the various counties
at cost of 10 per cent over the actual cost
of production, in which the convict labor
is not included.
Another bill by Fassett provides for the
creation of a Bureau of Highways This
bureau is to consist of three men chosen
for their special fitness, who are to get
$1,000 year each and their actual travel
ing expenses. The sum of $31 600 is ordered
appropriated to pay the expenses of the
bureau, which has to investigate the con-
dition of roads IN each county and publish
bulletins as to the best methods of correct
ing the existing evils.
