NAVAL NOTES.
The Ancient wooden Cruiser MARIO
for Honolulu.

Below are items culled from
latest Mare Island yard notes in
the Chronicle:
Work is being pushed on the
cruiser Concord.
The work on the Baltimore is
progressing satisfactorily and in
case of emergency the ship could
be put in shape for active service
in few weeks.
Much trouble has been expe-
rienced in obtaining crews for the
ships going into commission, as
the number Of men allowed by
law for the Navy is inadequate to
man the ships already completed
In order TO obtain a crew for the
Concord the iron cruiser Alert,
which recently sailed from here
Tor duty in the Sandwich islands,
has been ordered to this navy
yard to be put out of commission.
She will be relieved in Honolulu
by the old wooden steamer Ma
rion, which has been on duty on
the Central American coast for
two years. This is great disap-
pointment to the crew of the Ma
rion, who were expecting to come
home.
The engineers are at work on
the boilers of the cruiser Charles
ton.
The hull of the Ranger, which
is being rebuilt here, is soon to
be docked for the necessary re
pairs to the under-wate portions.
Captain A. S. Baker, who has
been for two years Captain of the
Mare Island Navy Yard, has been
ordered to command the battle
ship Oregon as the relief of Capt.
II. l.. Howison, who is soon to be
promoted to the rank of Commo.
dore.
The final appropriation of over
S225, 900 for completing the Hart
ford will probably make it posi-
BILE to complete that ship within
the next two years, although there
is little or no need for an old
wooden vessel of her class unless
she be used as practise cruiser
and gunnery training ship. She
will have full sail power and
modern battery of quick firing
guns.

The Hawaiian Mission.

Irving B. Dudley of San Diego
is one of the most prominent of
the candidates in opposition to
Arthur Sewall of Maine for the
Hawaiian mission. Dudley has
the support of California officials,
and it is thought will be able to
show such strength that he will
secure the appointment he wants.

URG, WEST VIRGINIA, EVENING,

The third bull trOtted in with the
majestic air of q lion, his tail swung
to one side. He was big black fell
low with magnificent horns and full
of fight. He killed two horses in less
than three minutes, and almost killed
two capeadors. They escaped death
by IA miracle. When the matador
drove his sword into this bull he
missed the heart, and tho point of
the blade emerged from the animals
body several inches, just back Of tho
tOrelog. CatcallS and shouts of de-
riSion greeted tho failure of the
matadOr, but he redeemed himself.
Dcttly he recovered his sword, and
at ihe next attempt drove the blado
in to the hilt, piercing the heart.
The Mexican bleachers love blood
and skill; they want no false moves.
The greatest Mexican bull fighter is
Ponciano Diaz, and he is the most
popular man in Mexico with the
masses. Some of the fcats he per-
forms are wonderful. He will stand
in the centre of the arena, sword in
hand, and await the approach of the
bull. BY n deft movement he places
his feet between tho BULBS horns,
drives his blade into the BULBS heart,
and withdraws it so quickly that
there is not a stain left on the silk
handkerchief he draws the blade
through. He is the personification
of all that is great to the people.
There were six bulls and eight
horses killed the afternoon the writer
visited the Plaza de Toris, and his
only regret was that he did not see a
bull fighter gored.
If the troupes do not give n good
performance the referee imposes a
fine of from 500 to $3.50, which goes
to the city treasury. The bulls are
bred on purpose for the sport, and
the original stock came from Spain.
The matadOrs receive large salaries
and a great deal of homage. The
troupeS ride from their hotel to the
oull ring in open carriages and are
saluted all along the route. A troupe
of Spanish bull fighters came to
Mexico and received SlSO,OO0 for
eighteen exhibitions. Bull fighting
Is scientific sport and not hit-and-
miss game. It's also very dangerous
work. At Durango, on the after
noon the writer saw the fight in the
City of Mexico, four performers lost
their lives, two of them being killed
by the same bull. At another fight
the same day Il bull tossed man
thirty feet in the air killing him in
stantly. Such accidents are wildly
cheered by the crowd, and the bull
gets credit for taking the opportu-
nity

were other features about it that
were rather startling to a man of
quiet tastes. The landlord, with
something Of pride, pointed out the

as much as his life is worth to try to
arrest them. You can see how nice
and peaceable they are when nothing

| looked with interest at Crockett,
little wiry fellow with a thin-lipped
determined mouth, and keen, un-
quailing eye, but in no way unpleas-
ant of expression or manner. He
and his companions were typical
cowboys in dress. They drank
steadily and quietly all day, the only
effect of the liquor they took being
to make them more jocular and talka-
tive. From time to time the name
of Reinhart, the sheriff, came up,
and l could see that there was no
good feeling existing between them
and him.
Evening came, and about ten
O'Clock l went upstairs to my room,
leaving the two cowmen and their
friends still drinking at the bar. 1

tell some one that they were going
to their camp on the mesa to start on

is often called-and they rode down
the main street of Cimarron side by
side, playing in unison sentimental
tune which was pleasant to hear.

when bang, bang, bang-bang, bang,
came the sound Of a volley Of shot
guns from somewhere down the road,
then cry and Il rush of horses feet.
Two horses were dashing out of
town like runaways. On one was a
swaying man, who still kept i'm his
saddle; the other was riderless, as 1
learned atterward. Davy Crockett
lay dead in the road, shot full of
slugs and buckshot. a party evi-

1t is generally said in Cimarron
that the attacking party was a sher-
if's posse, headed by Reinhart. L
don't know that the statement was
ever denied, for if true, he might
have been acting within the limits
of his authority. i knew enough
not to mix or meddle with Cimarron
teuds or politics and not to be in
