While Making a Landing
at Hueneme
THE VESSEL is BADLY STOVE
AND MOST OF HER CARGO WILL
BE LOST
Ten Tons of Dynamite Is Most Un-
Pleasant Stuff to Unload-An
Explosion Is Feared I
Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald
HUENEME, April 1.-THE steamer
Yaouina grounded here this morning
while effecting a landing during very
low tide. Her bottom is stove and there
is now about five feet of water in the
engine room An effort is being made
to unload her cargo, but the work Is very
slow as the fires are out in the arches
and the donkey engine has but little
working power.
The Bonita, now at Port Hartford, has
been sent for, but cannot arrive before
tomorrow morning, and 1t is question:
able whether she will be here in time to
render any assistance. The Yaquinas
cargo consists of oil, gasoline, etc., ana
about ten tons of dynamite. Fears are
entertained that the chip may go to
pounding on the bottom during the heavy
afternoon swells and cause an explosion.
The vessels position is such as to en-
danger the wharf.
At pm. the steamer was lying In
about ten feet Of water almost on an
even keel, about sixty feet west of the
wharf and three hundred feet from the
shore The weather is still moderate,
but the wind from the west is freshen-
ing. The hulk at high tide and with
more wind is very apt to crash into the
wharf. Many here fear an explosion.
Some thirty tons Of freight have been
landed, but work has now ceased await
ing the arrival of the Bonita.
NOT VERY SERIOUS
| OAKLAND. April 11.-Edwin Goodall
of the firm of Goodall, Perkins & Co.
received meagre details of the accident
from Hueneme by telephone tonight
and made the following statement:
1.-THE Yaquina is not in any danger
and the accident is not a very serious
one. We have not been fully informed
as to the facts, but as 1 understand 1t
a shoal formed along side of the wharf
and the steamer struck as she was go
ing in. Part of her shoe was torn on
and she began to leak. An attempt was
made to back her out, but her propeller
could not be turned over. Her lower
hold filled and she sank in the shallow
water alongside the wharf When II
was seen that the vessel could not be
moved the crew went to work and re-
moved a lot of cargo from the lower
hold. Much of 1t was not saved, how
ever, and will, of course. be badly dam
aged or destroyed.
There is not any water between
decks, however, and that part Of the
cargo escaped damage. We sent the
tug Vigilant south to her assistance
tonight, and Captain Minor GoodalI
will leave for Hueneme overland tomor-
row morning. He will take charge Of
the vessel and do what he can towards
floating and repairing her. cannot see
that any ono can be blamed for the ac-
cident, for masters and crews cannot
answer for shoals that form alongside
of wharves or docks. No one was in
danger at any time, for the vessel was
alongside Of the wharf cannot say
what will be done with the steamer
until we have her afloat."

three miles from the channel of the
stream Today the angry current wash
ed away a strip of land forty feet wide
at the threatened point, carrying down
some of the Elkhorn tracks and cars.
The Elkhorn people have force of men
at work making every effort to save the
bridge.
A special from Pierre, S. D., says the
Missouri has risen two feet in twenty
four hours and more is expected.
vermillion says the Missouri is sta
| tionary but that the Vermillion has risen
| two feet.
| Yankton reports both the James and
Missouri stationary. The high wind to-
day has played havoc with railroad EN-
bankments in the flooded districts. The
waters have washed away miles of grade
which had been spared hitherto. Many
miles of railroad will have to be recon-
structed entirely.
THE HIGHEST MARK.
NEW ORLEANS, April 1.-THE river
gauge huctuates between Is and 1872
feet This brings the record up to one
tenth of a foot higher than given by any
official data compiled. The river is GER
tainly booming and in spots the water
dchCS 0FCh thC dPiOho VI tAC ACNCCSs
making extensive deposits of mud. The
authorities. however, deny any addi-
tional apprehensions and are resource
full in combating any inroads made by
the river, rapidly applying temporary
barriers of sacks filled with earth and
such other devices as are most expedi-
ent. In the adjoining parishes of ST.
Bernard and Plaquemine the shores suf-
fer more from wave washes. The pres
ent dry weather, however. is a godsend
and the rain soaked levees are drying
quickly, facilitating improvements.
MORE HOPEFUL.
HELENA. Ark, April 1.-THE river
has fallen three-tenths, the weather con-
tinues favorable and no other break is
now possible.
Another lot Of refugees arrived today
from Old Town and below, having been
driven from their homes by their inabil-
ity to get provisions for themselves and
stock. Many Of the whites from Modoc,
in fact the majority of them, have rented
lands in the uplands and will make at
least one crop in territory unvisited by
the Mississippi
A fear is now entertained by the large
planters that the gaps in the levee may
not be closed In time to avert the drown
ing out Of crops by the June rise. The
Williamson crevasse is now more than
1900 feet and the Hubbard and Westover
break more than 1000 each. Owing to the
washing of the soil near these breaks,
new locations will have to be selected for
the levees or a run-around which will be
built to close them. The duration of the
flood is uncertain. If it should go down
quickly there would be time enough to
make these repairs in the levee, get
fences up, rebuild cabins and make other
necessary repairs.
lat DUBUQUE.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, April 1.-THE Mis-
sissippi is still rising, the stage now be-
ing 1873 feet. The islands in front of the
cty are submerged. Otis lumber mill
has been obliged to shut down and there
is over foot of water in the Diamond 10
warehouse.

BERI-BERI ABOARD
One Seaman Dead-The Captain 10
Very Ill

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Dutch
four-masted ship Jeanette Francois ar
rived this morning from Delagoa bay,
after passage of fifty-one days. On
passing Sandy Hook this morning tho
marine observer at that place saw sig
mails flying from the Jeanette Francois
which signified that she had sickness on
board and needed medical aid. When
the ship reached quarantine the health
officer found Captain Blocker suffering
from beri-beri. He contracted the dis
ease soon after leaving Delagoa bay aud
was laid up in his room for over six
weeks. The captains condition. while
not serious, will necessitate his removal
to hospital. There was one death on
board the Jeanette Francois during the
voyage. On March "a Emanuel Nord-
mann, a Norwegian seaman. aged 50
years, died of beri-beri and was buried
at sea.

"a This Is according to Che recent an
nounce1neut Of the chairman Of the racing
board. The date WIN Vndouf,tcdfy give gem
earlier than last year. WhsfHt the races were
held on October II. ana the weather In the
latter part Of Septembfr wiz be just about
right for the riders ana SPECTATORS It VIII
be remembered that the original date for
the circuit races this season was set for
October 2 but that was regarded as rather
late, and the chairman Of the racing board
was requested to change the date to some
time In September. which NJ has done.
There fs a good deal Of uncertainty in
racing, and no one re3lfzes lit better than
the contestants themselves. Because a man
IS speedy 1t does not necessarily follow
that he VIII win every event In which he
Win enter. There are too many chances
afforded for accidents, or The working of
quiet combinations against him, for him to
be successful all of the time A man may
take every race on the program in one
meet, and in another meet may not even
get place. An illustration Of this oc-
Cured at the race meet in Baltimore for
the Decoration day fair, which was held
on the 18th ultfmo. The local riders car
ried everything before them, and our Geo.
Ball managed to sweep almost all Of the
prizes In the professional races. He car
ried away the bulk of the purse money,
and yet while riding in his own city he has
not been near so successful He captured
third place In the mile open. and that was
The only place he secured this season at
any of the local meets.
The accommoda tons at the Willow Grove
track at Philadelphia comprise 12,0OO seats
for the Spectators, while at the Interna-
tfonal Athletic Park the accommodate tions
number only about 2.100 seats. This shows
a wide range of capacity. While the ac-
commodatfons at the Philadelphia track
have frequently been taxed, there have
been only two occasions when the accom-
modations Of the local track have been
touched up to something like their capaci-
ty, once this season and once last year
This shows a wide range of interest In
cycling by the public of the two cities, yet
with good sport it is only a question of
time when the local track will draw as
good u crowd as the one in the other city
The local board Of trade is considerably
incensed over the fact that in the Decora-
tion day race meet four of the professional
riders pooled their earnings and made an
equal division Of the purse The men con-
nected with the affair are Carroll B. Jack
Al Newhouse, Charles A. Church and
Fred Sims. 1t Is alleged that by working
the pool the races were not as interesting
as they would ordinarily have been, though
there can be no doubt that the two-mIle
handicap was a very pretty race. In the
event of their winnings being pooled Jack
was the man who lost by it. Between the
four riders something like sos was won
which would give each man over $50 as his
share Of the profits from the days work
