Despite the Promising State of Az
fairs, However, Warden Hale Has
No Intention of Relaxing the Dis
ciplinary Methods of Keeping His
Wards in Subsection.

SAN QUENTIN (Cal), June $50
far as external appearances are con-
cerned, all traces of the recent trouble
within the confines of the State Prison
had disappeared this morning when
the Z o'clock whistle was blown by the
engineer of the jute mill.
With the exception of about twenty
OF the most unruly convicts, who are
still kept in solitary confinement, in
order that the officials may segregate
them until the originators of the strike
and subsequent disorder may be dis
covered and punished, all Of the strik-
ers are at work as usual, and perform
ing the duties required of them this
morning with every appearance of sat
lSfactlon. In fact, many of them, by
extra diligence seemed anxious to re-
trieve themselves for their shares of
the trouble, and used every means in
their power to regain the good opinion
of their officers.
Despite the promising state of af-
fairs shown this morning. however,
Warden Hale has no intention of re-
laxing the disciplinary methods of
keeping his wards in subsection, which
he inaugurated last week, and an
nounces his intention to sift the mat
ter none the less thoroughly because
the strikers have seen the futility of
trying to coerce their eustodians into
acceding to their demands.
This is, Of course, a matter of time
and patience; but that the whole his
tory of the outbreak, from its inception,
Will be brought to light, the authorities
are confident

YOSEMITE VALLEY.
Contract for Surveying the Bounda-
rieS Awarded.

SAN FRANCISCO, June THE
United States Surveyor-Generalt to-day
awarded the contract for surveying the
boundaries of the Yosemite Valley and
marking the boundaries with monu-
ments to Isaac N. Chapman. The
contract price is about $4,000. The
boundaries of the valley have been de-
scribed by township lines, but no act
ual survey and marking of them has
ever been made. The contract calls
for the location of lines extending a
distance of 20S miles, and marking each
point where the course changes with a
monument. These monuments are of
cast iron, filed with concrete set in the
ground sufficiently deep to secure their
permanency. Each one is cast from
a separate mound, as it bears on its
exterior township and section marks.

The blaze started in the sawdust bin

rapidly that before the arrival of the

the fire spread to the lumber yard ad-
Joining but was checked before much
damage had been done to the stock on

The factory was completely Quilted,
however, and a rough estimate of the
damage places the loss at $50, 1000 of
which at least one-half was in machin-
cry The latter was insured for S19,-

were insured for $4,000 more. About
$4,000 worth of finished cedar lumber
was so charred and warped by the

ROASTED TO DEATH.
Terrible Fate of Twenty-Five Catholic
rIonks i'm the Philippine Islands.

VANCOUVER (B. c., June Further
interviews with the officers of the
steamer Hupeh, now in port, elicit the
fact that twenty-five Catholic monks
We're roasted to death by the rebels in
the Philippine Islands, and not by
Spanish troops, as previously reported
The information was furnished by a
prominent resident of Ito lilo, in the
group of the islands, and corroborated
by foreign Consul.
In consequence of the cr~uelties prac-
ticed by the Spanish troops on the reb-
els, or those suspected of being in SYM
pathy with the rebel cause the rebels
in revenge perpetrated acts of cruelty
on the helpless monks who came in
their clutches. The customary mode
of roasting sucking pig in the islands
is by thrusting a bamboo through the
pig and then fastening it to an iron
and roasting it over a slow fire. This
was done to the monks, the bamboo
being thrust through them while they
were alive.
Previous to the voyage to this port
the Hupeh made a trip from Hong
kong to Ilo Ilo, and it was just pre-
vious to this voyage that the reported
act occurred near Manila
