It's sustaining power, he said, was an
ego-shaped balloon filled with gas, the
larger end of the balloon being the front.
To the sides of this gas body was attached
elbow-shaped sails, which were prlncl-
pallv used to control the forward diFec-
that the cruiser can sail at an angle of
forty-fve degrees from the direction OF
the wind. Thes. sails also serve to drive
her forward in q favorable wind. When
travelling against the wind the sails are
laid close to the sides of the balloon. so
that no portion is exposed TO offer resist
ance.
From the balloon depends the airship
proper, in which are carried the machln-
cry, the crew and all other apparatus
necessary to its navigation and control.
This is shaped like the body OF sparrow
hawk and is equipped with wings, pat
termed also after that bird. The wings are
movable and are worked for propusive
power, or may be spread and made rigid
to form an aeroplane. At the front and
stern are propellers, which are used only
in travelling against the wind or when de-
sirous of travelling with it, but at an in
creased speed. VIII n it is desired to re-
main stationary in midalr the propellers
are revolved in opposite directions and
each at the necessary speed, as they work
Independently. The motive power Tor the
wings and propellers is electricity.

cape from the balloon, and when another
ascension is made the gas in the ball DON
Is replenished from a supply OF condensed
gas carried in a cylinder.

General Hart Describes the
Appearance of His Gil
ent'S AirShip.
Expects to Hear Any Day of the
Destruction of Havana by
Dynamite.
The Wondrous Aerial War Craft Are
Equipped With Sails. Wings
and PropellerS.

From recent press reports received
from Cuba and from private sources of in-
formation, ex-Attorney- General w. II. II.
Hart is now confident that two of the
flock of three airships said by him to have
been constructed by his mysterious and
still unknown client are in Cuba, and be-
ing prepared for their work of des.ruc-
ton.
In conversation he said he expected to
hear every day of an aerial attack on the
Spanish forces IN Havana.
81 have not seen the inventor of the air
ship" SAID General Hart yesterday, "for
some time l am informed that he started
for Cuba some weeks ago. While L am
not in direct communication with him. l
am kept posted on his movements and in
regard to his wishes by h is representative,
who is nding the completion
OF the third airship at a secluded place
over in Marin County.
From him learn that just previous to
his leaving the United States, the in
ventor made final test of his large aerial
cruiser. He took fight at point in the
San Joaquin Valley, and without stop
ping, alighted in the mountains near

Pasadena, after having travelled g dis
lance of about $50 miles This was the
longest trip he ever made at one flight.
Here the machine was carefully taken
apart, boxed and shipped to some point
near Yuma. whence it was sent by rail to
New Orleans. The smaller flying craft
was shipped from here direct to New Or
cans, and from he latter port they were
transported to Key West, Fla.
Three days after their. arrival at the
latter town the inventor and his aerial de-
stroyers took passage on the Three
Friends and were on board that vessel
when she had the encounter with the
Spanish waIships off Cuba.
81 am certain that the recent press dis
patch from Cuba, stating that the rebels
were preparing to drop dynamite into Ha-
vana by means of kites, was founded on
Information given out by the inventor
This was merely a ruse to cover up the
real % cans by which the dynamite was to
be dropped over the Spanish stronghold"
Then in a musing tone he continued: II
feel so well satisfied that the machine is a
success that l am sorry l did not take an
interest in the invention"
General Hart then consented to give a
general description of tho craft which for

WILL BLOW Up
TIE BAY ROCKS
The U. S. Engineers Making
Estimates On the
Work.
After Twenty Years Blossom
Rock Will Be Mined and
Fired Again.
Anita, Arch, Shag and Mission Bay
Rocks to Be Destroyed in

1t is the intention of the War Depart
ment engineers to get after five rocks in
SaE Francisco Bay that are under certain
conditions menace to navigation.
They are Anita, Arch, Shag, Blossom
and Mission Bay rocks. The first three
lie westerly from Alcatraz, and being
visible high above water are not neces-
sarily a danger to passing craft except In
foggy weather. Consequently they are at
least nuisance and the Government will
do well when it blows them out OF the
bay.
Blossom Rock lies easterly from Alca-
traz, and is marked with red can buoy.
About twenty years ago it was mined and
destroyed to a depth of about twenty-four
feet at mean low water. Two decades ago
that was considered deep enough, but the
ships are getting deeper, and at least ten
feet more OF water must roll over the reef
at m can low tide.
The Mission Bay Rock is a short dis
lance eff the end of Fourth-street wharf,
and is mark red with spar buoy. 1t is the
most dangerous shoaI in the bay, being in
the constant track of shipping. AS 1T is
within twelve feet of the surface at mean
low and about 10 feet at highest high
water heavily laden ship would strike at
any time. The ship Packard went on to
the rock few months ago and was some
what damaged.
Under The direction of Colonel Charles
R. Suter, U. s. A., supervising engineer OF
the coast, party of surveyors have been
taking soundings around these obstruc-
tons with view of making estimates for
their removal. For two months Engineer
Won Geldern has been ascertaining the
volume of the rocks and other facts per-
tainIng to the labor and the cost of de-
stroying them. The work has been nee
essarily slow, as nothing can be done ex-
cept at slack water and when the bay is
perfectly quiet.
When the surveys are completed the
engineers will make their estimates. which
will be forwarded to Washington and the
work ordered at Mission Bay and Blossom
rocks VIII probably be done first, as their
position makes them of the greatest
danger.
The other three will disappear in turn
pretty soon after good charges of dyna-
mite are placed at their roots.
When these points are removed San
Francisco Bay will be a perfect harbor,
without a rival.

WIDOW MORTON
MUST VACATE
Supervisors Have Ordered
Her Little Home
Removed.
It Obstructs a Rich Mans Realty
Holdings On Fremont
Street.
A Deputy Superintendent of Streets
Who Did Not Relish
His Job.

Unless she finds other babitation in the
meantime Mrs. Ellen Morton, widow,
will soon be deprived of the roof over her
head at the order of the Board of Super
visors.
One of the last acts of the board that
recently went out of Office was to pass
resolution introduced by J. K. G. Hobbs
instructing the Superintendent of Streets
to remove a frame building that en-
croaches on the roadway of Fremont
street between Bryant and Harrison. The
measure was com monplace on it's face,
but behind it was a tale OF hardship to
widowed mother and her children that
would have caused the mem bers of the
board to hesitate had they known the
facts.
The little two-story frame building is
owned and occupied by Mrs. Morton and
her children and should she be compelled
to move she knows not where she will be
able to find an abode.
Deputy Gully of the Street Department
went to the house yesterday to carry out
the orders of the board, but before he was
through he was heartily tired of his job,
and when he returned declared that he
never wanted such matter to handle
again.
The mother and children burst into
tears and made an affecting scene when
he told his errand and begged him not to
force them to leave, but his instructions
had been to give ten days notice that the
building must be removed and he did his
duty.
Mrs. Morton declared that she would
stay until the house was torn down over
her head because she had no place else
to go.
Ex-Supervisor Denman owns the prop
erty on the north side of Fremont street
adjoining the site of the Morton home
ana has leased it to ex-Supervisor Hobbs,
who desires to build box-factory there,
but cannot untilthe building is removed.

to say concerning the appropriation

plans Of the Yamhill. as prepared
by Captain Fisk, have beeu al

or not, as the engineers may deter
mine after investigation. Nothing
has been done at Yaquina. Secre-
tary Lamont was very much op-
posed to anything being done. In
fact. every move III the war depart
ment shows that the former secre-
tary did not intend to have the de-
sire of congress relative to Yaquina
carried out. Senator Mcbride SAYS
it is possible that Secretary Alger

favorable TO Yaquina than the 9TH
