SPEED OF OUR WARSHIPS.
The San Francisco and New York
Make Fast Runs.

WASHINGTON. March 13.-In view
OF the assertions made in Congressional
debates that the trial trips of our naval
vessels were made under artificial con-
ditions as to enable ships to make speed
that their records could never be re-
peated without special preparations,
the Navy Department officials are feel
ing much comforted by reports coming
in from some of the Captains &C our
cruisers who have been putting their
ships through their PAGES. just to learn
how much they have deteriorated
The San Francisco had just come out
of the dock in the Mediterranean when
Admiral Selfridge ordered her to make
a run for a few hours. The vessel
rushed away at eighteen knots speed
and kept this up for ten hours without
stop, making a record of high eff
cheney for a ship of her class. 1t is the
general belief that the ten hour record
under service conditions is far better
than the record made on the trial trip,
which lasted four hours.
Captain Schley of the cruiser New
York started from Hampton Roads for
New York the other day, and giving the
signal to let out the ship, she steamed
along for four hours at eighteen knots,
and that without resorting to forced
draft, which is used on speed trials.
In each case the runs were made
without any addition to the fireroom
crew, or any unusual preparations-in
fact, regular service conditions pre-
vailed

MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Reaches the Highest Point in the
History of the Weather Bureau.

MEMPHIS CTenn.), March 13.-To-
night at Memphis the Mississippi River
has reached the highest mark since the
establishment of the Weather Bureau.
The gauge registers 45.7 feet, and wa
ter is still creeping up. The river
reached it's previous high record mark.
News reached Memphis to-day of the
breaking of the levee last night at
Marion Ark, and the inundation of
that city and all the surrounding coun-
try.
At President Island all the stock is
destroyed except twenty-five horses,
and at Athens and Chicken Islands the
destruction of stock has been equally
great.
The river has remained stationary at
Cairo, indicating that the crest has
certainly been reached at that point.
At Vicksburg a rise of six inches N
the past twenty-four hours has
brought the river to thirtynine feet,
which is near the danger line. The
river continues to rise slowly at points
below Vicksburg.
The Cumberland River at Nashville
has risen 81 feet in the last twenty
four hours, showing 1876 feet, with
danger line at 40 feet.
At Chattanooga the Tennessee River
passed the danger line, the gauge indi-
eating $40 feet, the danger line being
33 feet

ously submitted by the committee The
Iurpie amendment, which is of gem
eral scope, will be adhered to, and 9TH
ers will be, added which will somewhat
harmonic the document with this
change.
The Turpie provision is added to the
first article of the treaty, and it recog-
niZes the Senate as a part of the treaty
making power of the United States, re-
curing the President to submit to the
Senate his formulation of any claim
that he may desire to submit to arbi-
tration under the treaty.
Another important amendment, which
also looks to the reorganization of the
Senate's prerogatives, which almost
beyond doubt will be submitted to the
Senate, will eliminate the members of
the United States Supreme Court as a
fixed tribunal of arbitration. The pro-
vision for members of the court to act
as arbitrator will be so modified as to
require the President to appoint and
the Senate to confirm the members Of
the tribunal
The portion of the treaty providing
for the appointment of the King of
Sweden and Norway as umpire will be
eliminated, the majority of the COM
nlittee considering that no umpire will
be necessary. The majority of the
committee hope to complete the con-
sideration of the treaty in committee
at Mondays meeting, and in the event
of their success an opportunity will be
sought to report to the Senate a res
olution for ratification with the amend
ments outlined on Tuesday.
There will be an effort to secure act
ion of the Senate on the treaty before
the tariff bill reaches that body from
the House

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS AFFAIRS.
THE DIrlOND DIVORCE CASE COM
PROMISED.
The Story That Plot Was on Foot
to Assassinate Ex-Queen Lille
uokalani RidiCuIed.

HONOLULU, March 5.-People OF
Honolulu believe that Mrs w. w. Di-
mond has decided to withdraw her ap-
peal for divorce and has settled with
her husband agreeing to depart from
Hawaii on the steamer Peru and leave
him in possession of the field. The only
child remains with Dimond. The
woman's theatrical managers are very
anxious to have her go to San Fran
cisco. but she said that she would not
consider any theatrical matters until
the case was finally decided.
News of the alleged plot to assassin
ate the ex-Queen was not received in
serious way in this city. The general
impression is that Captain Palmer, the
Queens private secretary, was imposed
upon. In a letter Palmer admits that
the members of the Dole Government
would not resort to murder. He has
forwarded a copy of the message which
conveyed the first information of the
alleged assassination. 1t is an inane
affair. and reads as follows: My Dear
Sister: 1t is reported that Thurston
will go to Washington to murder the
Queen so give her this warning with
out fail; also report to the newspa-
pers''
Private a6vices received here state
that the Queen will soon leave Wash
ington for Europe. She expects to be
present at Victorias diamond jubilee.
and will not return TO Honolulu until
October.
Captain Carlson does not believe that

overdue, is lost Captain Carlson left
Port Townsend on the outward voy-
age only two weeks later than the
Aida, and has made an unusually fast
trip, arriving here on the 22d ult. He
says that it is not reasonable TO give
up the vessel for lost under the circum-
stances.

ENCOUNTERED HEAVY GALES.
THE ZEALANDIA HAS A ROUGH
VOYAGE ON THE PACIFIC.
Wind Caused Such a Sea That 1t Was
Impossible to Walk on Deck
With Safety.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-The
steamship Zealandia, Captain H. NJ.
Hayward, returned to San Francisco
this morning after a round trip or the
Sydney, Apia and Honolulu run, that
was one of the most exciting in her his
tory. On the voyage south the Zea-
landia was several days late in reach
ing her destination, and it IS good that
she found very rough weather, which
held her back. 1t was stated on board
that the vessel had to be taken in tow
before coming into Sydney.
-Four fiTemen and one saloon hand, a
bo'sun and a mate were discharged
from the ship. The first five got their
walking papers this morning and the
two officers We're discharged at the
other end of the line. 1t is said that
they fought on board ship just before
reaching the Colonies.
The Zealandia was forty-eight hours
late at this port, and the reason for the
delay was heavy weather. Two days
ago it commenced 10 blow heavily from
the northwest and kicked up such a sea
that it was impossible to walk on the
decks with safety. The steamer was
wet from stem to stern and her decks
were swept clean.
Last night was the worst night l
ever put in at sea-" said Purser Smith,
speaking of the matter this morning.
The vessel was forced to head east
and therefore made progress slowly, as
she was rolling fearfully in the trough
Of the sea-"
One of the crew said that the steamer
actually rolled rails under. The motion
was So violent that everything NOV
able had to be fastened down to keep
it from being smashed to pieces. The
passengers were dreadfully frightened,
but they behaved well. Some of the
staterooms We're flooded and consider
able glassware broken.
What made matters worse was the
breaking down of the electric motor,
which compelled the use of lamps for
lighting purposes.
The officers were very reluctant to
speak of the trouble between the bosun
and mate, but it is said that it grew
cut of personal bitterness that existed
between the two men.

to be led by Roloff, Castro and others.
1t is also stated that Texas men from
Galveston are in the party. 1t is GER
tain, however, that the expedition has
landed. There are further rumors of
lands at other points.
Antonio Goven, a well-known lawyer
here, and Secretary of the Autonomist
party, has left Havana for the United
States. While it has been understood
that he was starting on only a short
trip for his health and relaxation, &C
cording TO the Cuban customs, many
friends went to the wharf and boarded
the steamer to see him off.
Once aboard, Goven surprised his
friends by pointing to the Moro castle
Flagstaff, and stating that he would not
return until the flag was changed.
up to now said he, Il have had
confidence and faith In the edifice of
Spanish nationality, but now it is crum-
bling and falling down. 1 do not wish
to perish in the ruins, hence 1 am going
away

miners on the price in bituminous coal
regions at Dudley they have gone on
strike The mine owners say that their
