Causes Heavy Damage to a Tramp Steamers
Cargo.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-Nearly 1000
chests of tea of the cargo of the big tramp
steamer Afrida were dam aged on the voy-
age from Yokohama, and some of the stuff
will be a total loss. The damage was not
discovered until the second hatch of tre
forward hold was opened. The vessel
made fair passage over. She has in all
l6.444 chests of tea, of which number
1880 are consigned to eastern houses
and are awaiting shipment across the con-
tinent. There are also $50 bales of silk
and twenty pack ages of silk goods which
are to be shipped overland by
fast freight. When the steveoores reached
the tea in the forward hold the first pack
age on which they laid hands was found to
b. broken and it went to pieces. AS chest
after chest was overhauled similar con-
dition was found to exist. The packages
had been broken from their lashinRs and
the contents were scattered about the hold
so thicx in some places that the men stood
knee deep in tea. The extent of the dam
age has Iot yet been learned, as the chests
vary in size nd their contents in value and
quality vary. 1t is estimated that the loss
will reach several thousand dollars.

REPORTED WHOLESALE MURDER
Four Cinnamon Alleged to Have Beer
Killed and Robbed

Four Cinnamon Alleged to Have Been
Killed and Robbed
1t was reported in the city last night that
four Cinnamon had been murdered and
robbed on vegetable garden in the vicin-
ity of Verdugo Park. The first intimation
the authorities received of it was when a
Chinaman called at the police station
about o'clock and said that white man
had told h.m of the tragedy. He wanted to
know if the police had heard anything of
the affair. They had not, and he was re-
ferred 10 the sheriff office.
Mr., Burr knew nothing of the reported
killing. Inquiry in Chinatown last night
failed to elicit anything of the matter and
it is now thought that the white informant
may have become confused over the trag-
edy at Prospect Park and transferred the
location and inciden ally increased the
number of those killed.

KIRKPATRIcK,s SPEECH.

SIS. Kirkpatrick, candidate for re-

district, spoke to fairly good sized
crowd Thursday night in the
Springs park. From gold bug
standpoint it was what was expect
ed, but Kirk so far has failed to ex-
plain why he is in favor of gold
standard, when his record for years
has been for silver. But Cy Leland
knows why. Charlie Curtis, who is
running for congress up in the
north part of the state, is the only
candidate who had the nerve to tell
Cy Leland to 60 to warmer place.
Charlie is silver man, nominated
by the Republicans on a silver plat
form, and he has the courage of his
