THREE ALLEGED
 FIREBUGS JAILED
Accused Of Having Started Recent COnf1agrations
 in Winters.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 WINTERS, March 26.-The excitement over the incendiarism in Winters culmi- mated to-day in the arrest of Ed Leven- good and his wife and the latter's brother, John F. Hawkins. District Attorney Hopkins and c. F. Burks, insurance ad- juster, have been here since Wednesday making a rigid investigation of the fires of Tuesday night and have no doubt of the guilt of the persons arrested. although the evidence is entirely circumStantial.
 The principal fire which these persons are accused of having started was in Ed Levengood's s saloon. The owner was absent at the time, seeking a new loca- tion in Los Angeles County, and it is be- lieved that the incendiarism was the re- suit of a conspiracy between the three persons under arrest. First barn was fired on the outskirts of town by Flaw kins, and he left his coat there when he did it, going after it the next morning. Soon after the barn was well under way Mrs. Levengood, it is believed, set fire to the saloon.
 Levengood had been unSuccessfully try ing to sell his saloon and at the time of the fire it's contents were worth less than S200, while the insurance was $400. It was in the heart of town, and fire once un- der way there would probably have swept away almost every business house.

 The following vessels will compose the flying squadron: Brooklyn, flag ship; Massachusetts, Texas, Minneapo- lis and Columbia.
 From this order it will be seen that Captain Sampson has fleet intended for blockading purposes. His neet consists of one armored cruiser, two battle-ships of the first class; three monitors, four cruisers, four gunboatS and one dynamite cruiser with the ne- cessary accompaniment of torpedo boats and tugs.

DULL LEAD,
 NOT BLACK Latest Fighting Color ," Selected for Ships of
 the Navy.
Preparations for the Placing of New Mounts on Revenue
 Cutters for Torpedoes.
Contracts Also Made for Appliances for Loading Vessels at TOrtugas
 and Key West.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Washington, March 26.
 Another shift was made to-day in the plans for painting the warships, and Captain Crowninshield formally deter mined that all the ships of the navy should be painted a dull lead color. This was the color of all Federal ships during the Civil War, and is said to be the best fighting color.''
 The Naval Bureau of Ordnance is preparing new mounts for number of Whitehead torpedoes. in order to place them on the revenue cutters, the newly acquired yachts and tugs. The tor pedo tubes were originally intended to go below deck, but with the new craft tubes and mounts must be changed TOT service on the upper decks. When this work is done, Captain O'Neil, head of the bureau, expects. to be able to equip sixty craft, if occasion demands, with torpedo tubes.
 The contracts for the big steel piers, coalsheds and extensive coal appliances for loading war vessels at Dry Tortugas and Key West were let to-day. The Union Bridge Company of New York will build the steel piers, etc, both at Tortugas and Key West, the contract price being $590000. The tracks. cars, machinery etc, will be furnished by the Brown Hoisting Company of CleVe- lana, O., TOT SlOl,OVO. IlC COIltioNS NeNAA1' for completing the extensive work at Tortugas in 1S0 days, and at Key west in 190 days.
 Formal orders were issued to-day by Captain Shoemaker, chief Of the reVe- nue cutter service, for the eight reVe- nue cutters called into the service at the navy rendezvous at the Norfolk navy yard. The instructions given to commanders of the ships were to report at Norfolk between the 18th CT March and 5th of April. Some difficulty IS an- ticipated in getting the cutter Gresham out of the great lakes. She is too long to pass through the docks of the canals and it may be necessary for the depart ment to cut off the stern of the vessel in order to permit the passage of the | locks.
 Preparations are making for the lighthouse board to turn over to the Navy Department five lighthouse tend OTIS now in service on the Atlantic. h.
 ,tri1ctions were issued to-day by the board of the commanders of the tend CTS to make a complete inventory of the present furnishings and equip ment of the vessels. It will be neces- sary. of course, that these vessels be re- 1 fitted to some extent and equipped with such light-caliber guns as they are able to carry. The equipment of the vessels and other necessary work upon them will be done at the Norfolk yards.
 It is regarded as not unlikely that | Commander w. M. Folger, now in charge of the New York lighthouse dis trict, may be placed in command of the newly acquired Brazilian cruiser | A111o

 On actual experiment one gram ot Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods

 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not secret patent medicine, but fifty cent package will do more real good for a weak stomach than fifty dollars worth of patent medicines, and a person has the satisfaction of knowing just what he is putting into his stomach, which he does not know when widely adver- tised patent medicines are used.

HAVANA, March 26.-In addition to the regular guards, which for months have been on duty around the Ameri- can Consulate. the Spanish authorities have recently posted a force of six ex- tra men for service there. This precau- tion, I am assured, does not indicate a fear that the consulate or person of Consul General Lee is in any special danger at the present time. It is au evidence rather of Captain-General Blancos. purpose to prevent any pos- sible unpleasant incident which might serve to aggravate the situation.
 General Blanco, l am informed, has recently reiterated his previously de- clared purpose to protect the consulate and any and all American interests to the full limit of his authority and is prepared to furnish any number Of men required to that end.
