UNITED STATES SHIP CYANE.
CAN Ep ANcTsCO n APROp March IT 1862

SAN FRANCISCO HARBoR, March II, 1868.
Sir: Having been apprised by Mr.. Rankin,
the Collector, and DR.. Mclean, the Surveyor of
the Port, that the schooner ]. II. Chapman was
fitting out here, and would soon put to sea for
the purpose of preying upon our commerce,
determined to seize her, and now have the
honor TO report that about daylight on the
morning of the 18th inst was informed by
the officer of the deck that the said schooner
was getting under way, when l dispatched two
armed boats under Lieutenant Yates, the ex-
ecutive officer of this ship, with orders TO seize
her and then act in conjunction with the civil
authorities.
and brought to anchor, Immediately after
which the Surveyor of the Port and w. B. Far.
well, the Naval Officer, went alongside in q
steam tug, and, taking the schooner in tow,
proceeded over to Fort AlcatraZ, where the
cargo was examined, and among other things
guns ammunition, etc, found on board. Some
seventeen persons had been found concealed in
the hold, who were confined in Aicatraz; and
the schooner was then brought up and an
chored near this ship. l put an officer and four
men to look out for her q policeman also re-
naming on board. The crew of the schooner
four in mum Der, had brought on this ship and
put under the sentry's charge The greater
part of the cargo was discharged at Alcatraz.
All of which is submitted and instructions
asked for.
l have the honor to be, sir, your obedient
servant, PAUL SHIRLEY,
LieutenantCommander

Mare Island, Cal.
1t is an odd fact that in February, 1862,
little more than a year before the cap
ture in this bay, the schooner J. M. Chap
man gave valuable assistance to United
States line battle ship that was nearly
wrecked on the Massachusetts coast. The
Vermont had started from Boston in tow
of two tugboats. bound for Port Royal,
S. c. In q tremendous gale the tow lines
were let go. The Nantucket Shoals were
barely avoided. the Vermont's rudder
having been carried away, and then
the schooner Chapman came in sight and
remained six days with the disabled Yer
mont. The Vermont was nearly wrecked
where the steamer San Francisco was lost
in 1858.
The schooner ]. NJ. Chapman was from
New London, Conn.,, and when she gave
reliefto the battle-ship Vermont she was
under the command OF Captain A. ].
Chapman. On coming to this port she
was bought by Broker Travers for the men
who attempted to make privateer Of her.

DELAY MEANS DEATH.
Hard to Convince Critics and Doubters,
Although Drs. Copeland and

ratrOnized.

Is Easily Conquered, Hence Delay
Is Dangerous.

TF ONE COULD GET THE READING AND
l. thinking public to accept the exact, unqualr
fled truth regarding the work Drs. Copeland
and Neal are doing, no building in the city
would be large enough 10 accommodate the
crowds that would flock to them.
The exacttruth, painted by no exaggeratlon,
dulled by no atmosphere of advertising. The
exact truth: Just who Drs. Copeland and Neal
are, what their vast experience has been, how
many cures they have effected, what means
they use to cure their patient what medicines
they provide, by what management the very
best medicines and the very best skill are
afforded the people at fees hardly one-fourth
of those usually charged.
Great numbers of people suffer from
the na1ign pOisOns of catarrh, as from
other subtle chronic maladies, without
any correct or definite idea of the nature
of their aff1iction. The following symp
toms have been carefully arranged by
DR.. Copeland to enable many sufferers to
understand just what it is that ails them.
Many diseases, known under various
specific names, are really of catarrhal
origin and nature. Every part of the
mucous membrane, the nose, throat,
eyes, ears, head, lungs, stomach, liver,
bowels, kidneys, etc., are subject to
disease and blight by catarrh. The
proper course for sufferers is this Read
these symptoms carefully over; mark
those that apply to your case and bring
this with you to DR.. Copeland. If you
live away from the city, send them by
mail and ask for mail treatment. In
either instance, and whether by mail or
office treatment, the patient may be as
sured of the speediest relief and cure
possible to medical science.

CONTEMPT CASE.
Senator Hill Reports a Very Import
ant Bill.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Hill, of the committee on judiciary,
today submitted a report upon the bill
relating to contempt in United States
courts, presenting new bill as the
result of the committees deliberations.
The bill refines direct scontempts to be
these committed during the sitting of
court or judge in chambers in it's or
his presence. All other coptempts are
indirect. 1t provides for immediate
and summary punishment for direct
contempt without written accusation.
The interest centres in the provision
for the punishment of contempt of
court, committed not in court as in
the Debs' case. The provision upon
this point is as follows:
"That upon the return by an officer
or a process or AFFIDAVIT, duly filed,
showing any person guilty of indirect
cor tempt, written attachment or
other lawful process may issue, and
such person may be. arrested and
brought before the court; and, there
upon a written accusation, setting
forth sufficiently and clearly the facts
alleged to constitute such contempt,
shall be filed and the accused required
to answer the same by an order fixing
the time and place of the hearing, and
the court may, on proper showing, ex-
tend the time so as to give the accused
reasonable opportunity to purge
himself of such contempt After the
answer, or in case of refusal to answer,
the court may proceed to hear the ac-
cusation upon such testimony as may
be produced If the accused answer
the trial shall proceed upon the testi-
mony produced, as in criminal cases.
and he may be confronted with wit
nesses against him; but such trial shall
be by the court IN its discretion.
Upon application by the accused, trial
by jury may be had as in any criminal
case. If found guilty, judgment may
be entered accordingly prescribing the
punishment.
The bill allows appeals to the su-
preme court.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, April SO.-A
mass meeting of business men this morn
ing issued the following address to the
public to show that Cripple Creek il not
discouraged by its misIOrtunes:
Cripple Creek has grown with the de-
Velopnent Of the greatest gold mining dis
trict on earth, in which it is situated and
it's pernlanence and business value is de-
pendent on its location. Many of our
business and residence buildings have
been destroyed by two terrible fires with
in the past week. The town in the center
Of the richest known district in the world,
remains and its citizens who have built
1t up from a stock ranch four years ago,
to a city of 10000 inhabitants at present,
believe that its location and many ad-
Vantages offer greater opportunity for
their energies than ever. They desire to
announce through the great press of the
country, that they have lost their homes
and their business blocks, but not their
pluck and are already starting a magni-
ficent city on the ruins of the old.
Some aid in the rebuilding will be re-
quired from the more fortunate residents
of other cities, but only such as can be
fully secured to the lenders and only such
as is usual in business transactions be-
tween business men. The fearful rapdity
and widespread destruction of the fires,
which threatened the destruction of al
most tne entire town, were due to the
f1imsy construction of the buildings erect
ed during the rapid growth of a mining
town. With more men empls yed and more
miners daily producing gold than any
other mining camp in the United States,
adding s120C0,000 per year to the gold stock
Of the world, with more capital and
greater population than ever before and
the security afforded by widely extended
fire limits, we are building a permanent
town, and feel that it's wealth and the
nature of its resources offer to capital
more productive and paying investments
than any other field, and we cordially in
vite the investigating public to investigate
what we have to offer"
