How to Treat n Wife.
(From Pacific Health Journal. }

(From Pacific Health Journal.)
First, get a wife; second be patient You
may have great trials and perplexities in your
business, but do not therefore, carry to your
home a cloudy or contracted brow. Your
wife may have trials, which, though of less
magnitude, may be hard for her to bear. A
kind word, tender look, will do wonders in
chasing from her brow all clouds of gloom
To this we would add always keep a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house
1t is the best and is sure to be needed sooner
or later. Your wife will then know that you
really care for her and wish to protect her
health. For sale by G. E. Clarke.

A NEW OIL TANK STEAMER
Leaves the Golden Gate on Her
First Voyage
The Vessel Carries Six Tho:saud Barrels and
Ventura Tanks Are Now Waiting
to Be Enptied

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-The new oil
tank steamer George Loomis sailed for
Ventura tonight on her first voyage.
The George Loomis was built by the Pa
cific Coast Oil company for Lloyds. She is
built of steel throughout, the material be-
ing entirely of American manufacture, part
of it having been cast in the east and the
major potion turned out from the Pacific
rolling mill.
The steamer registers 69l tons gross
and 4O2 tons net. and is 195 feet in length,
27.5 feet in breadth of beam and II feet
in depth of hold. She has been built to
conform to the requirements of Lloyds for
vessels carrying oil in bulk.
immense tank divided into compartments
by bulkhead running fore and aft, and
two transverse bulkneads. Golfer dams
four feet in thickness extend from the bot
tom of the vessel to the deck, the width of
the ship at both ends of the tank. The
Golfer dams have been put in to prevent
the escape of gas from the tank. Each
separate tank will hold one thousand bar
rels of oil, and the vessel can be loaded or
discharged in eight hours Steam is gen.
Grated by coal oil supplied from the refin-
cry of the Pacific Coast Oil company, and
the steamer will be the means of furnish
ing oil for fuel to the various points around
the bay.
The Loomis will probably average five
round trips month, bringing to San Fran
cisco 10000 barrels of oil in that time. AT
present there are 100000 barrels await
ing shipment at Ventura, transportation
by railroad being prohibitve on account of
the excessive rates.

Spanish artillery was called into play.
The insurgents were routed with a loss
OF twenty-three killed and forty-three
wounded and left on the field. The in
surgents are said to have carried away
many more wounded. General Navarro
pursued the insurgents, overlook their rear
guards at Ceiba de Aqua, and in skirmish
four insurgents were killed and three taken
prisoners. On the government side it is
announced only four officers and thirty
privates were wounded in both engage

insurgents recently tried to compel the
garrison at ltabo, Cardenas district, to sur
render. Upon refusal of the troops to sur

After the engagement between the in
surgents and General Navarro the column
OF troops commanded by General Suarez
Valdez overlook the insurgents, who were

small arms and artillery and inflicted
heavy loss. The Insurgents lost 263 men.

was not only cracked, but broken into
three large pieces, rendering it entirely
worthless. The officers present considered
the plate the worst ever offered for test.
The result necessitates the temporary re-
lection of the entire group of armor, of

further test will be made on another

SAN FRANCIscO'S BIG GUNS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The Notifications
of San Francisco have been strengthened
in the past week through the acceptance
by the government of three of the most
powerful pneumatic guns yet tested, each
of which throw 500 pounds of high explos.
i've upward of 5000 yards with precision
and terrific effect upon the water wherever
they struck. The three guns propelled
shells three miles and hit SO near the
marks aimed at that a battleshp would
have been easily blown to pieces had she
been the target.
The success attending the trials at San
Francisco have conclusively settled to the
satisfaction of ordnance experts the value
of this style of weapon as part of the ord
nance for the country's land defenses and
hereafter some of these guns will be sta
toned at important cities along the sea-
board where the department proposes con-
structing defenses invulnerable to attack
from the sea. Naval officers do not attach
that value to the dynamite gun that army

were consulted and estimates made as to
how long each branch of the work re-
quired. From this it was learned that the
monitor Monadnock, now at Mare Island.
would be ready by February 1st. The
Miantonomah, a double turreted monitor
now out of commission at League Island,
can be ready for service in fourteen days.
The testing of her pneumatic steering ap-
paratus is about the only feature requiring
time.
The low freeboard monitor Terror, now
at New York, will require sixty days to be
made ready for service. These three craft
will make a powerful acquisition to the
available naval force. They are fully
equipped with armor and the few days re-.
quired for making them ready for sea will
be spent on minor finishing touches.
1t is expected also that the ram Katahdin
will be ready for service at an early day.
The department is in communication with
the Bath iron works as to certain minor
changes in the vessel. General Hyde of
the Bath company will be here tomorrow
to make necessary arrangements.
NEW BATTLE SHIPS
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The secretary of
the navy today sent to the senate reply
to the resolution asking for his opinion as
to whether it would be advantageous to the
naval service to contract for six battle
ships, instead of for the two authorized on
the basis now before the department.
The secretary says the two ships now au-
thorized have already been contracted for
and that the department does not deem it
advisable to recommend that any bids al
ready received and not accepted should be
further considered. He is of the opinion.
on The contrary, that the building of other
ships should be open to competition. He
thinks there would be no necessity for de-
lay in getting bids on other new ships, as
the department's plans for building ships
are familiar to all the ship builders in the
country. He thinks ten days notice
would be sufficient time. The
secretary also renewed his recommen-
dation that the building of at least
twelve new torpedo boats be authorized
and recommends that if this action be
taken, the number awarded to any one
contractor may not be made too small, for

Venezuelan Message

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. SC. H. Baker,
receiver of the Merchants National bank
of this city, returned from Washington
City today and tells an interesting story of
President Cleveland's last duck hunting
trip and the reason he made it. The story
was told to Mr.. Baker by one high in gov

absented himself on this duck hunting

is guilty of treason. 1t is reported that
the leaders of the rebellion will be exc.
cuted, as the decree asks for authority to
inflict the death penalty, which is forbid
den in Venezuela except in time of war or
on occasions of imminent peril.
CARACAS, Jan. President Crespo's
decree regarding the revolution has caused
profund sensation. Copies in the shape
of ''flying sheets' are being distributed by
the police. 1t is severely commented upon
and the leading lawyers declare that it is
illegal.
Another sensation has been created by
an issue of an order poohibiting communi.
cation between ships and the shore. 1t is
especially aimed at the American citizen
Schimma, the agent of the Red ID line at
La Guayara.
Captain Delanoa, of the Red D steamer
Philadelphia, made protest this morning
against the order. He said it stopped
work on the vessel. The president replied
that the order was necessary, but that he
would try to except Americans. There is

WILDLY ENTHUSIASTIC
NEW YORK. Jan. S.-The steamer Vene-

ports, arrived at late hour last night.
She sailed from La Guayara on january
1sf. She brings news that the greatest ex-
element prevailed throughout the coun-
try over the attitude of the United
States government on the boundary
question. Demonstrations were numerous
in all the principal cities. Troops were
constantly marching through the cities of
Porto Cnbello, La Guayara and Caracas,
and the American flag was carried in all
the parades, causing the widest enthu-
siasm among the populace. 1t was
rumored at La Guayara that the sum of

United States government to aid the Vene.

large lots they can be built at cheaper
prices. He also recommends that if the
additional torpedo boats are authorized,
permission be given to build then. of differ
ent sizes and that the limit to the cost of
the vessels be made in the aggregate in
stead of on the individual boats. If, he
says, discretion as to the dimensions of the
several boats be given to the department,
they must be built of various sizes, and it
would thus be possible to give some of
them greater rate of speed than would
be possible if all were of the same size and
all cost the same amount.
