90S Broadway, MarcH Ao.
 I. Pantoskey the local junk dealer, who bought the cargo of the big ship New York as she lay wrecked at Halfmoon Bay, came to Oakland to-day and IS In a highly elated frame of mind. He sees his way nearly clear to realize large for- tune out of his investment.
 The sum paid was $6S00, and it Is not impossible that three times this figure and even more may be netted. The cargo was invoiced for $135 900 and is one of the most valuable of general China ship mentS.
 The ship is now securely. damned in about twelve feet of sand :" said Pan. toskey to-day, and there is no fear of her shifting. The way the swell strikes her helps her further up the beach ana at low water now you can walk 10 Wllnln seventy-five feet of the vessel.
 The storm that wrecked the Amy does not seem to have done much, 1T any dently is a good stanch hull. The cargo is not yet damaged to any great extent, except in certain parts of the vessel, and there are tiers and tiers Of valuable ma terial as good as new. We are working away as fast as possible and l do not think the weather will interfere much with our plans.
 If everything goes along nicely, with no serious Interruptions 1t ought not to be difficult to get 20,000 out of the wreck, but of course the expenses of salvage are great"
 Pantoskeys last big venture was the purchase some years ago of the con- and. He brought the mammoth affair to Oakland, broke 1t up and out of the tons of massive chains and numerous pom toons he made a small fortune.

PERR1NE,s COMET APPROACHES.
Travelling Toward the Earth at the Rate of About Million Miles
 a Day.

BERKELEY March 25.-Accordng to computations just completed by the de- partment of astronomy at Berkeley the comet discovered by Astronomer Perrine at Mount Hamilton last Sunday morning has been approaching the earth and sun at the rate of million miles day. The computations were based upon two ob- servations at Mount Hamilton and one observation at Berkeley by Professor Leuschner, and were made by Tracy R. Crawford, an assistant, and H. K. Palmer, a senior student at Berkeley
 According to cur calculations, said Professor Leuschner, the comet ap- preached the earth at the rate of a mill lion miles a day for several days after it's discovery. The rate of approach, how ever, is diminishing. On April it's dis tance from the earth will be about 141.- 900 GOO miles. Shortly after that it will begin to recede. anu will then pass off into space The comet will be nearest to the sun on April 8, when it will be about 99, 900 mlies away. About April it will be at least 20 per cent brighter than when 1t was first observed
 The comets plane of motion is inclined to the plane of the earth's motion at an angle of about 79 degrees, and intersects 1t in longitude 271 degrees. The axis of it's motion points about B degrees east of the intersection of the plane of its mo- ton and that of the earth"

CERTAIN TO INTERVENE.
Professor Bacon Says the United States Will Put an End to Cu-
 ban Horrors.

BERKELEY, March 25.-Prof. Thomas R. Bacon lectured Thursday afternoon at the university on Liberty and Au thority." In the course of his address he touched upon the attitude of the United States toward Cuba. He declared 1t to be certain that it is the deliberate American judgment that the United States should and will intervene in Cuba to put an end to the terrible condition Of things at present existing in the island.
 Professor Bacon spoke in part as fol- lows:
 AS a rule the action of government is professedly confined to seeking the good of its own subjects: sometimes, espe- cially under popular governments, 1t breaks through these limits, and Is moved by considerations of justice and mercy toward those who are outside its own borders. If the United States shall inter- vene in Cuba (which we trust God will forbid) 1t will be because we cannot stand by and see another three hundred grave by the hard and doleful way of starvation as three hundred thousand have already gone, while we nave IL III our power to save them.

TIRED OF SUFFERING.
Mrs. J. Armstrong Uses a Revol- yer but Does Very Little
 Harm

OAKLAND, March 25.-Mrs. J. Arm strong. wife of an engineer of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Rail- road Company, made desperate attempt to end her sufferings at t4.e family resi- dence, 556 Forty-seventh street, just be- fore noon to-day by shooting herself with a revolver She fired three shots, none of which is necessarily fatal.
 Mrs. Armstrong has been a sufferer from neuralgia pains during a recent ill., ness. and it is supposed she sought relief in this manner.
 One bullet was aimed for her heart, but went wide of it's mark and slipped along a rib, lodging near the back, in the fleshy part of her body. Another shot, aimed at the temple. made only a flesh wound, and the third shot just grazed the skin, being also started for the temple.
 Dr. B. T. Mouser, the family physician pronounced the wounds as not dangerous and did not remove the bullet from her back until tonight. MT. Armstrong was telegraphed for at Stockton, and is ex- pected in the morning, as he was out on his run at the time.
