1t was 4:25 p. m. Saturday, April 30,
when the American fleet passed SuDlg
bay. which is on the China sea, and
around Mariyeles peninsula from Ma
nila and Manila bay, and steered di-
rectly for the entrance to the mouth
lof the latter.
As IL drew near the entrance the
fleet ~slackened speed, for it was then
near shutdown. All the ships were
dark. the decks cleared for action n
the sharpest outlook kept in all direc-
itions. The entrance to the harbor was
thought by the ~Spaniards to be we'll
defended and 1t would be SO considered
against anything but a fleet such as
came there from Hongkong. On the
left-hand side entering there are two
batteries, one on Point Mariveles and
a smaller one further up the bay. On
the right hand side there are also two
batteries. one at Limbones point and
i another at R~estingo. These last are
on the Cavite side of the bay. In the
lands, the largest of which is Care
Quideo, which was TO have been forth

derstood that the entrance to the bay,
as well as the bay itself. was loaded
with electric mines and torpedoes, but
II this was the case. they did n ex-
plode, for the American feet sailed
over and through them unframed. As
the feet approached the entrance In tho
dark the progress became slower, and
one officer of the Olympia suggested to
Commodore Dewey the danger OF be-
Ing blown up. To this Dewey Is said
to have replied grimly: Its a case Of
Mobile Bay now" which was interpret
cd to mean. In Farragut's words.
Oh the torpedoes! Go ahead"
All this time the vessels proceeded
almost noiselessly on their way. When
the feet had rejoined. inside OF the
bay, Commodore Dewey reformed his
line in the following order:

 The number of deaths and exhuma1ons average fifty every month of the Chinese, which. to the superintendent, is quite an item. together with his other perqusltes, all of which will be lost to the favored politician who got this job as reward for services rendered to the political boss.
 The condition of the Western Addition UTndertakers who figured so low on the contract as to bury all the indlgent dead at $4 each is not so favorable from financial point of view; as no conditions were made with the city about place for the interments; this was their lookout when they made their bid They gave bond of $G000 for the faithful performance of their contract and they must live up to 1t. It Is their duty to lind place for the citys dead irrespective of price.
 The other societies having the privilege of the City Cemetery will be likewise compelled to find interment ground on and after the first of next April, as the Supervisors are determined to grant no further extensions.

 advantages.
The Chinese Will Purchase 8 Tract of Land In San Mateo County for
 Temporary Resting- Place.

Notwithstanding the long notice given by the Supervisors that the City Gene tery would be closed for all interments on and after the first of the present year, nothing has been done by those societies and the undertakers having the responsi- bllity of providing a final resting place for the indigent dead. The same condi- ton of affairs has existed with the Chi nese. They, as well as the others, per mitted time to slip by without making any provisions for the future, until they found themselves in the capacity of beg gars, so to speak. asking for an exten- sion of time, which the Supervisors gra- ciously granted them.
 The time now being extended to the first of April. steps will be taken by the Chinese to procure a tract of fifteen acres in San Mateo County for a temporary resting place for their dead
 Within a few days a meeting of the six Chinese companies will be held and a lawyer will be deputed to proceed to San Mateo and make the necessary ar engagements with the County Board of Supervisors for the privilege of locating a cemetery in that county. This step has been decided on by the Chinese who are fully cogniZant of the popular prejudice evinced against them as a race. Of this prejudice they have had experience in the past, as the superintendent of the City Cemetery while admitting all other corpses to a grave in the city's burying ground at s1, has charged the Chinese s2 90, and the undertaken who has the contract for the burying of the city's in- digent dead had a wholesale contract at 80 month. irrespective of the number of intermentS. A similar figure has been charged the Chinese for eXhuming the bodies of their dead. This the Mongolians characterize as discrimination against their race even unto death, and resur- rection. To avoid this 1t is proposed to

THE RUSH HAS BEGUN.
No Spare Birtbs oD seeoDerS
 Bound for the Yukon.

The move of Alaska prospectors to the north has already set in. Not only do the merchants of the city report that they are feeling substantial benefits from the purchase of outfits and supplies for the Alaska trip. but the transportation com panies are already forced to admit that their carrying capacity of freight and passengers is being taxed to the utmost, so that the problem that cOnfronts them next summer becomes more and more serious. The Walla Walla will sail this morning, with every berth taken, and nearly all of her passengers are bound for Dyea and Skaguay. At least one half of this number have been frequent visitors at the Alaska Trade Bureau and have made a close study of the facts and object lessons which were presented to them at the ferry building. It Is report ed that the Pacific Coast Steamship Company has engaged a large part of its accommodations for some time ahead and is daily receiving requests by tele- graph to hold berths. The Pacific Steam sail on Monday for Dyea, Skaguay and Orca. It is reported that she had offers for more freight and passengers than her capacity allowed.
 Inquiries by mail were more numerous yesterday than on any other day As an indication of the amount of mail sending out every day it Is interesting to note that it's bin for postage stamps alone averages S6 day. Word was re- ceived from a man who has been travel ing through Arizona for the last few weeks who says that parties of miners are being organized in nearly every camp in the Territory, and for the most part prospective Klondikers will leave early for the north, so as to take advantage Of the trail over the ice which has been broken by the miners who are coming out to the coast. Other requests by mail and personal applications for specific in formation and general literature is re- ceived daily from almost every State in the Union, and shows a steady increase from week to week. The record of the bureau shows that the inquiries from outside the city are assuming a relative fy greater importance as contrasted with the local demand.

sweet with the smell of the fresh lum- Der which is being taken from the flat bottomed boat. All around the place is strewn with the yellow blanks They've been unloading for hours, and yet those sharp, short picks which the men wield lift out one layer of blanks only to lay bare another covering. Bella of Florence has been up north. Her name signifies nothing of her home or destination.
 Here's the Crompton, a great square rigged English ship. She has brought coke up from the colonies. And opposite lies the Progreso, a steam collier. Both of them are unloading, and the place is black with Jumps of shining coal and burned out porous coke and sifted black dust for the blacksmiths forge.
 Such a dirty Progressori One would al- most believe that the boat knew that this is almost its last opportunity for be- ing good and dirty. The Progressor. like other adventurers, has caught the Klon- dike fever. She intends to put off this erimy black coat of hers. don respectable garments, have her deck built up like the Excelsior's and. then ho, for the gold fields! Instead of coal, the Progressor will carry fortune-hunters and gold. O. the scorn this new passenger ship will feel for it's old companions in the colliery business,

pear to come. It is we who go by on the launch. Fine ships, these English ones. big and shapely and well-named. There's the Marlborough Hill from Liver pool and the Primrose Hill and the Roderick Dhu, which possesses the most picturesque figure-head in all the harbor.
 We sail scornfully by the ferry slips. What romance attaches to a trip across the bay, or even to the river steamers that go as far as Stockton? They're too petty, too near. They lose woefully in comparison with the associations that crowd upon these travelled, naughty. dis tant relatives of theirs.
 On either side of Meiggs wharf hang fishing lines, left to themselves to see what they, unaided, can do in bee1,iline the willy smelt. Here's where the bovs go grabbing, and their baskets are con tinually being hauled up and let down with splash again.
 Over there to the northeast lie thraa small schooners. The one at the end is the Central Pacific. Now, although inc name is imposing, this poor, declasse boat is never named by those who go down to the sea in ships without a guffaW. It seems that the Central Pacific is pos sessed by an old preacher, who in turn is possessed with the desire to save water front souls-sadly in need of saving, no doubt. All about the bay, the good old

fellow goes preaching to those who will listen He gets up as far as Stockton. I believe. always preaching the word and praying for the wicked ones. Be 1t under stood that it is not the plety of the preacher which provokes laughter but his original methods of sail construction. At any rate, he offends against all rules of canvas hoisting, and the hugest joke on the front is to try to classify this meek little Central Pacific, according to the changes her cratic owner makes in her appearance.
 We walked down from Meiggs wharf along the sea wall. through the grain sheds. The Walla Walla had come down the night before from the north and the sheds were piled with pale gray-brown sacks of wheat, darker tan sacks of beans and white sacks Of the Oregon flour that excels ours. so they say.
 The Kilmory was filling her hold with the WalIa Walla's grain. The Kilmory comes frae Glasgo'. She belongs to firm that christens all its ships XII something or other. The Kilbrannan Is the Kilmory's own sister.
 ''Where are you going?" I asked the Scotch mate.
 He leaned over the side, soft cap p,1lled over his tawny brows, a short pipe in his mouth.

Not a Patent Medicine. but a Safe Cure
 for All Forms of Indigestion.
 The results of recent investigation have established beyond question the great value of the new preparation for indigestion and stomach troubles; it is composed of the digestive acids, pepsin, bismuth, Golden Seal and similar stom- achics, prepared in the form of 20- grain lozenges, pleasant to the taste, conven- tent to carry when travelling, harmless to the most delicate stomach and prob ably the safest, most effectual cure yet discovered for indigestion, sour stom- ach, loss of appetite and flesh, nausea, sick headaches, palpitation of the heart and the many symptoms arising from imperfect digestion of food. They cure because they cause the food to be promptly and thoroughly digested be- fore it has time to sour, fermenu and poison the blood and nervous system.
 Over six thousand people in the State or Michigan alone in 1894 were cured of stomach troubles by Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets.

A DAY ON THE WATER FRONT.
 have always had an immense respect for the water front reporter. He is the person who discourses technically about things nautical He knows the difference between a bark and a barkentine, be- tween a ship and a schooner. He never alludes to anything that floats without feminine pronoun, and he calls everybody he meets Captain
 A very little of this l knew before l accompanied the great man one day last week upon his beat But my admiration for the lore of the water front reporter grew steadily all the way from the Mail dock up to Meiggs wharf, and back again: so that 1 shall have to revise my original opinion of him. How in the name of all that's salty he manages to pick up the information on all the null titudinous marine matters that make up his department is one of the mysteries. He knows the captain on this boat bound

A er... Natural c.r...,sy.

A perfect face of a delicate Jewish cast was discovered in a small stone about as large around as 10 cent piece found lying on the railroad grade near Junction City. Ore. Not only ara the brow, hair, beard and beautiful aquiline nose perfectly shaped and distinct on the stone, but the neck and shoulders are vignetted of into the delicate agate like tracery of the background as it would have been done by an Artist
 Not only is the face as delicately bean tiful in line as one stamped upon Q Greek coin of the reign of Alexander, but in this stone are reproduced the col ors of life. The face is white, with c blending of flesh tones, growing deeper In the shadows of the neck and shoul- ders The hair in the dark shadow at the back is a rich auburn, just the color associated most often with the ascetic Jewish type to which the whole face belongs It is perhaps the strangest part of this extraordinary coincidence of forms that each feature, from the cav srnOus eye and delicate hollowed cheek to the high, narrow brow and wavy auburn hair. is in accord with famil- far type of the Christ. In this respect the Oregon stone is infinitely superior as a work of natures art to the ''Stone Man of Sorrows. about which a book was published in London This head, in a stone little larger than the recent discovery, was picked up at Oberam- mergau as a mere casual memento of the spot. because of it's associations with the passion play, and eight years afterward, Leing held in a certain position, was seen to reveal the face that was some what sentimentally supposed to resem- ble the face of Christ.-Boston Tran acrinf

Water Never Frn...

The whole economy of nature would undergo a startling change if water never froze The world climates would be revolutionized The icebound polar seas would cease to exercise their chill ing influences, and consequently the currents of the ocean might either cease or be turned aside in different direo- tions.
 Thus the gulf stream would seek oth- CT shores than those of Britain, and the climate there might be subject to the extremes of heat and cold noticeable in other countries of the same latitude. The icebOund rivers of the north, not ably those of Russia and Siberia, would be open for navigation, and Russia's 6 activity as sea power and a oommer- cial nation might alter the whole world of commerce.
 Canada would become another ooun- try altogether. An immense tract of land would be available for cultivating hardy plants. and Greenland might be what its name indicates. The absence of ice bergs of the coasts of Newfoundland and Iceland would result in a much warmer climate in those islands, where now the crops often fail
 Ice, too. plays an important part in the economy of nature. Thus. if water never froze. snow, hail and boar frust would cease. The loosening of soils and the disintegration of rocks by the frost and many other now vital effects would be lost. In short, the absence of ice would be on the one hand an incaloul- able disaster, on the other hand Q great boon. .-London Globe.
