THE PHILADELPHIA TAKING COAL
ACTIVELY PREPARING TO SAIL
FOR HONOLULU.
Some of Her Officers and Most of the
Crew Anticipate Stirring Times
in Hawaii

SAN DIEGO, April 2.-Although it is
understood that the cruiser Philadel-
phia will not leave for Hawaii until
Tuesday or Wednesday, no one would
be surprised, judging by the activity of
the preparations on board, if she We're
to slip away sooner Lighters have
been alongside her to-day, and she has
been rapidly taking on coal and sup
plies. AS soon as her regular bunkers
are filled temporary ones will be fitted
up on the deck, and these latter will
also be filled
AS to the precise purpose in sending
the cruiser SO Unexpectedly to the ISL
and plenty Of rumors are rife. 1t is
known that a long cipher dispatch was
received by Admiral Beardslee yester-
day, and that he replied to it at con-
siderable length to-day, and a report is
current that he has requested to be
given more ample authority to deal
with emergencies that may arise
Another rumor is that the Admiral is
instructed, in case of an uprising of
japanese on the islands not to take a
hand until it is evident that the Ha-
waiian Government is not able to cope
with the trouble.
These are current rumors only One
thing, however. is certain, and that is
that some of the officers and most of
the crew anticipate stirring times at
Hawaii. They believe that bluejack-
cts and marines will be landed, and
say that the cruiser is now awaiting a
supply of revolvers and ammunition
from Mare Island to be used in the
event of such landing.
NO SIGNIFICANCE.
WASHINGTON, April 2-Secretary
Long is authority for the statement
that the orders for the flagship Phila-
delphia to proceed to Honolulu have no
significance. 1t is said at the State
Department that the movement has
not been requested by it, as would have
been the case had threatened trouble
between the japanese and Hawaiian
Governments entered into the calcula-
tions of the Navy Department. The
Philadelphia is to relieve the Marion,
which relieved the Alert.
The reason for the change is said to
be the belief of the Secretary of the
Navy that from the Importance OF
Honolulu, commercially and otherwise,
the United States should have a ship
of higher class than the Marion sta
toned there
The Philadelphia, while a. modern.
powerful cruiser, is sadly out of con-
diton. and 1t was the intention of the
department just as soon as repairs to
the Baltimore We're completed to use
her to replace the Philadelphia as the
flagship of the Pacific station, and to
put the latter craft out of commission
and thoroughly renovate her. 1t is
conjectured that the Marion may be
sent to Samoa to show the United
States flag in that quarter of the globe
for the first time in four years.

CROWN PRINCE OF JAPAN.
The Reports That He is Dead Entirely
UnfOunded.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Japan
ese legation received a dispatch from
the Consul General at San Francisco
saying that the recent reports of the
death of the Crown Prince of Japan
and the succession of Prince Arisgowa
as heir apparent were entirely unfound-
ed 1t is believed that the dispatch is
the result of an official inquiry by the
Consul General. The Legation here
never credited the report, as no word
of it was sent out by the Government,
and a matter of this Importance, it is
said, would be quickly communicated
to all foreign representatives.

4 nIPCUS PROPRIETOR SHOT.
HaS Quarrel With a Texas Officer,
land is Fatally Wounded.

WICHITA kan.), April 2.-J. V. Cum
ningham, Deputy Sheriff of Taylor
County, Texas, shot and fatally
wounded Joseph 3. Mcmahon in a hotel
in this city to-day. They quarreled over
the right of the Deputy Sheriff to take
an employe of McMahon's to Texas on
a charge of arson. Mcmahon spoke some
harsh words to Cunningham and it is
said that both pulled pistols together.
At any rate, the Deputy Sheriff got his
gun to working first, firing three shots
into Mcmahon. Mcmahon is proprietor
of what is known as Bond Brothers
circus, whose winter quarters are here.
The circus men were very angry, and
talked about lynching the officer.

The Discovery Made in Time to Save
the Murderer's Life.
Attorney Morgan, Who Suddenly
Disappeared From San Francisco
in the EARLY Part of Last Month,
Leaving Many Victims of His Con-
fidence Behind, Has Been Located
on Ranch Near Ukiah, rlendoCinO
County.

SAN FRANCISCO, April "A des-
perate attempt at suicide was made by
murderer Frank Butler at = this morn
ing in his cell in the County Jail
He tried to cut the temporal artery
on the right side with the thumb nail,
and had succeeded in bringing the
blood before the act was discovered by
the guards.
Half dozen guards have been
watching the Australian murderer ever
since he was removed from the City
Prison to the County Jail, for it was
known that he would most likely COM
nit suicide if given the slightest op-
portunity. The guards are divided into
equal watches.
Shortly after Guards w. G. Tiffling
and James Dienahan went on watch
at midnight Butler began to read a
newspaper 1t is his habit to sit up
at night, so the guards paid no more
than the usual attention to him until
he was noticed to have kept the paper
between himself and the guards con-
tinuouSly for half an hour. The guards
were also attracted by peculiar noise
m ade by the motion of the murderer s
arm, which rested on a table, with the
right hand to the temple.
An immediate investigation of this
peculiar conduct was made by the
guards, and they were amazed to see
blood trickling down the murderer s
face His hand was also covered with
blood, and near the temporal artery
was a ragged incision half an inch
long through the flesh, nearly to the
bone.
Butler of course denied that he
wanted to kill himself but there was
not the slightest doubt that suicide was
his object Extraordinary precautions
have been taken with the murderer,
and nothing has been allowed within
his reach that could be used to injure
himself, SO he adopted the last means
he had.
The facts Of the attempted suicide
were at once reported to Chiaf Jailer
Sattler, who ordered that Buffers fin
ger nails be trimmed to the flesh. He
stood the ordeal well, but was evidently
chagrined that his intention to kill him.
self had been discovered and frus-
trated
United States Marshal Baldwin was
not surprised when he was told that
Butler had tried to kill himself, and
said that he had been looking for some
such attempt The Marshal is of the
opinion that Butler will yet cheat the
gallows if given half chance.
