SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-The Bull
letin says this evening that it has re-
ceived reliable information to the effect
that the navy department has deter
mined not to be caught mapping in the
event of trouble with the Japanese over
the annexation OF the Hawaiian islands.
All orders of the department which
would have resulted in moving ships of
the Pacific and Asiatic squadrons from
headquarters to distant points have
been temporarily suspended. While the
authorities at Washington deny that
there is any effort to keep all available
vessels at ports where orders can reach
them at short notice, naval officers adj
nit that such a scheme is being carried
out and that orders have been issued to
the Asiatic squadron requiring the fleet
to make no move and shall hold them
selves in readiness to return to the coast
or proceed to Hawaii on short notice.
The reports that the coast defense
monitors Monadnock and Monterey will
be sent to Honolulu are denied, and the
statement is made that they will be held
on the coast. Inquiries have been re-
ceived at Mare island yard from head
quarters as to the condition of the cruis-
err Baltimore now undergoing repairs
there, with view of putting her in COM
mission in case of an emergency, al
though under ordinary conditions she
would not be ready for service until

President Alfred James of the North
western National Insurance Company
of Milwaukee, doing business all over
the United States, has issued instruc-
tons to local managers and agents in
territory from Eastern Ohio to Colorado
and from North Dakota and Minnesota
to Tennessee to meet the proposed re-
duction from forty to fifty per cent. on
all preferred risks authorized by the
Western union.
The agents Of the Northwestern Ma
tional are instructed to meet all such
reductions on all business-that is, to re-
duce the rates on all brick mercantile
buildings, as well as those which come
under the head Of preferred risks" If
this policy of the Northwestern National
is carried out, as it will be if the West
ern union orders take effect, it will re-
suit in giving all classes of insured prop
erty the same benefits as the Western
union proposes to give to select few
insuring property known as preferred
risks" II. the Western union carries out
its threatened policy of reduction of pre-
ferred business in Milwaukee, the Mil
waukee Board of Underwriters, it is
said, will go to pieces.

CANNIBALS OF CERIs
HAVE NOT EATEN JESSE GRANT
AND PARTY
The Bold Gold Hunters Concluded IT
Was Not Safe to Land on
the Island

SAN DIEGO, July 16.-News has
reached here of the failure of Jesse
Grants expedition to make an effective
landing on Tiburon (Whale) Island in
the Gulf of California. Some time ago
he equipped a small vessel and, with
about 20 men, sailed for this island on a
so-called exploring" expedition. The
men Were equipped, not with scientific
instruments, but with munitions of war,
as the island is supposed to be rich in
gold, silver and copper minerals. The
Island is inhabited by about 200 Ceris
Indians, who are not only very warlike,
but said to be cannibals. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that Grants expedition
landed, as there are no reports of a COL
lislon at arms, and these savages usual
ly come out in their canoes and receive
the enemy before permitting him to land.
They have no guns, but use poisoned ar
rows, according to the statement of an
old seafaring man of this city, who, a
few years ago, landed on the island with
a force of men in search of gold. He
states that the Ceris use arrows with
obsidian points for the hunting of game,
but that they are poisoned when turned
on the enemy. They sometimes make
raids into the interior and murder and
rob Mexicans, taking the women to the
island as captives for wives. These raids
have caused the Mexican government
to send several expeditions against the
Ceris, but none of them have ever landed,
or, if they did, it is not known that they
returned.
The sailor who effected this landing
was not permitted, he states, to go into
the interior, but he believes that gold ex-
lists on the island from the fact that the
native women wore ornaments Of gold
He does not believe that they are can
ribals, but is satisfied that they burn
their victims. He won their favor by
giving to tnm presents of red cloth and
beads. The sailor states that Tiburon
is the only island in the gulf that is in
habited. The Ceris live on game, fish
and wild fruits, of which there is an
abundance.
Tiburon Island and Island de la Guarda
| Guardian Angelo belong to Mexico, and
are reached from Guaymas or Yuma by
the Colorado river. 1t will be recollected
that few years ago l.. E. Robinson, a
newspaper correspondent, visited Tibu-
| leved that he was burned. His COM
| panion is said to have escaped. Suisse
quently scientist, with photogra pher

COSTS TOO MUCH
The Interstate Waterway Not Fea-
sible Project

WASHINGTON, July 16.--The secre-
tary Of war today transmitted to con-
gress the.report of the chief of engineers
on the preliminary examination made
by Major T. w. Symonds Of the corps
Of engineers of a ship canal from thu
Great lakes to the Hudson river. The
work was done in accordance with the
provisions of the last river and harboI
bill.
General Wilson, chief of the engineers,
says in the report that it is the opinion
of local officers that the best route for
ship is that by way of Niagara river,
Lake Ontario, Oswego, Oneida, Lake
Mohawk and Hudson rivers, and that
the cost at rough estimate is 5000, 600.
But Major Symonds is also of the opin-
ion that the Erie canal, when enlarged
under the existing plans of the state of
New York, would, if the restrictions
imposed by the state on it's use be re-
moved, result in commercial advantage
equal to that of a ship canal.
Mr.. Symonds further expresses the
opinion that the construction of such &
ship canal is not a project worthy of be-
ing undertaken by the general govern
ment, for the reason that its benefits
would not be commensurate with its
cost.

It Is Not at AL Reilshed by the
English

NEW YORK, July ia dispatch to
the Tribune from London Gays: The
publication Of Secretary Sherman's dis
patch on the Boring Sea question elicits
momentarily in the English press the
smouldering embers OF recent criticisms
of American diplomatic methods. The
text Of that dispatch is not pleasant
reading here. as the Pail Mall Gazette
and other journals frankly admit. II
its fortiter in re had been combined with
suaviter in modo, there would have been
no cause for complaint. If one hundred
words had been taken out of the text
the dispatch would have been accepted
as an unobjectionable statement of the
American case.
AS the matter stands, the implication
that England has not acted with good
faith is considered blow below the belt.
The petulant comments of the London
press today ought not however, to be
taken too seriously. The action of the
foreign office has disclosed willingness
on the part of the Government to dis
cuss the question without irritability.
This dispatch was one of the earliest
state papers presented by Ambassador
Hay to the foreign office after his ar
rival in London, and while the reply OF
Lord Salisbury was refusal to set aside
the expert testimony of the British agent
employed in the case, there was no indi-
cation that unfriendly feeling had been
excited either before or after Mr.. Fos-
ter's return to London from St. Peters,

the young California millionaire who
came to Chicago to meet his erring wife,
received a message at the Wellington
Hotel, and after spending a moment in

CABINET MEETING
The Nicaragua Canal Comes UP for
Discussion

WASHINGTON, July 16-The cabinet
meeting today lasted longer than usual,
yet accomplished little beyond discus
sion of routine business. The Nicara-
guam canal commission was talked about

members. 1t is said that the compost
ton of the body will be as represented
heretofore, namely: Rear Admiral
Walker, Captain Carter of the engineer
corps, and Prof. Haupt Of Pennsylvania.
provided the last named will accept. He
has been telegraphed an inquiry on that
point. 1t is felt to be desirable for vari-
Gus reasons to have the commission ap-
pointed and begin it's work at the earliest
possible moment. One Of the reasons
is the necessity for obtaining data as to
the condition of the country through
which the canal is projected during the
rainy season.
The information collected heretofore,
it is said has all related to the San Juan
river and Lake Nicaragua during the
good weather and the inquiry before
the congressional committee developed a
lack of information as to the condition
in other seasons. This information is
very necessary in order to know the
character of the dams required, the
amount Of water that must be diverted
or controlled and the other important
engineering data affecting the cost of
the enterprise. If this material is to
be obtained at first hand it will be neces-
sary for the commission to proceed to
Nicaragua Immediately, as the rainy
season is now we'll advanced and the
work must be completed by September,
else there will be delay until next Sep

LIEU LANDS
An Important Decision Involving the
School Lands

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Secre-
tary of the Interior has decided the ex-
parte case of the State OF California, in
voiving the school indemnity selections
based on unsurveyed lands, alleged to
have been lost because of President
Cleveland's forestry order. F. A. Hyde
recently complained to the department
that the selections had been suspended
under the requirements of the depart
mental order suspending all proceed
ings under the forestry order; that an
indefinite suspension of applications
would prove a serious matterto locators,
and that California occupied different
status than other States as to forestry
reservations, the latter in California re-
naming as originally created, which
contention the department sustained.
The decision sustains the contention
that valid selection can be made on
the basis of reserved lands in advance
of official determination as to the num-
Der of townships included in such res
ervations, the State being accorded this
procedure, however, as a favor, and not
as right to which no exceptions are
attached. The application of the State
of California, now pending, to secure in
demnity for unsurveyed school sections
included in the timber reservations Gre
ated by the forestry order, will be dis
posed of accordingly

We're that unless they were sure that

that Spalding embezzled, there was a

bezzle and nothing could be done but to
acquit the prisoner. There are still
twenty five indictments against Spald-
