BELEW ACCUSES BIRD Dixon Murderer Adds to His Original Con-
 feSSiOn. Now Declares His Brother-in- Law Acted as His Ac-
 conplice. Arthur Be!ew Supports the State naent and Says It Can Be
 Proved.
Special Dispatch to The carl.

SACRAMENTO, May 13. = Sheriff Rush of Solano County was sent for by Murderer Frank Belew to-day The officer went to Folsom to take Belew's statement.
 T am now ready to open my heart, was the message sent by the Dixon poisoner.
 Be careful what you say now" said Assistant Warden Baker, for you are about to go into the presence of the eternal"
 'Yes, I expect to die." replied the brother and sister, and I desire to tell the whole truth.
 The condemned man said to Sheriff Rush:
 The murders were planned by J. W. Bird and me some months before killed Susie and Louis. Our original in- tention was to murder Arthur and Tommy also, but I did not get good | chance to do the job."
 What was Bird to get out of it?" he was asked
 well, you see, I was to kill them all and the property would then go to me | and my children. He was to be ad- ministrator, and he would have made l a haul that way. If I got into trouble Bird was to stand by me and do all in his power to save my life; but he went back on me, and that is why l now want to tell the whole truth. Bird knew all the time that I was going to murder | them
 The strange feature of the supple | mentary confession Is that the mur- derer does not charge that there was to be division of the property between Bird and himself, thus leaving the mo- tive of Bird a very vague quantity.
 Frank Belew is calmer than he has been in weeks and seems perfectly re- signed to his fate. Arthur Belew was here to-day and will probably visit his brother tomorrow. He made the fol lowing statement:
 ''I rode up on the train to-day with . former business associate of Bird. This man told me that he conversed witt Bird about a month before the murder and Bird said to him. In about month I will have plenty of money.
 Arthur claims to have another wit | ness who heard the plans of Franf | BeleW and Bird.

IMMENSE DAMAcG!
 DONE IN SAN JUAN.
Number of Buildings Wrecked by Projectiles From the American
 Ships

LONDON, May 13-The Evening News this afternoon publishes dis patch from St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, saving San Juan de Porto Rico surrendered at o'clock yesterday evening. The dispatch adds that inn rnense damage was done to the city and that a number of important build ings collapsed. The Iowa and Detroit, according to this dispatch, fired 4oO shots with terrible effect.
 The dispatch says the Americans did not attempt to take possession of or de- stroy the town, beyond raging the for tifications.
 All the American warships except the Montgomery steamed in elliptical for nation before the Notifications at San Juan de Porto Rico, which fired twenty to thirty guns, seven of which were good ones The fleet first fired too low hut at the second discharge they oot the elevation and soon silenced Horro Castle and set fire to the town, driving the Spaniards from their guns repeatedly.
 The shore guns fred hundreds of shots. The New York was hit once and one seaman was killed and four were wounded The Iowa was hit once and two men were slightly wounded.
 The dispatch winds up with an nouncing that the American fleet under l Rear-Admiral Sampson is now outside | of San .Juan de Porto Rico awaiting the canning of the Spanish fleet, command. | cd by Admiral Cervera. which was las renorted off Fort de France. island o1 Martinique, French West Indies.

GOVERNMENT BUYING
 COAL AT VICTORIA.
Contract for Large Quantity of Fuel Awarded to a Canadian
 Firm.

SEATTLE, May 13.-Although coal has been declared a contraband of war since the country took up arr against Spain the United States Government has just closed a contract with Robert Duns.nuir & Sons of Victoria for some $500 tons of Comox coal The bulk of the fuel purchased by the Government is intended for the Port Orchard naval station, where it will be kept in bunk CTS for the coaling of United States war vessels. The United States monitor Monadnock, now lying at Port Angeles, has received about 250 tons of coal from British Columbia.
 This is following out the policy or the Government in the past to favor Brit
 ish Columbia coal for the war vessels that came to Puget Sound. This has hean done for years although coal can he nurchased at Seattle for $2 less a ion and steam tests made on the Gov~ ernment ships show but per cent in favor of the Comox coal in the highest tasts of the latter. The coal at What com from the Blue Canyon mines showed fully as well as the British Columbia coal under steam tests. Local coal dealers explain this trend | of Government patronage by saying | tbot wears ago. before the mines or the
 Wa Washington coast had been opened, +be Government was compelled to pur- l chase it's coal in British Columbia The
 baods of the Bureau of Equipment got info the habit of buying British Colum-
 hia coal and did not change to wash ington coal when the opportunity was
 Dreseuted.

POOR MARKSMANSHIP
 OF SPANISH GUNNERS.
Some Projectiles From the Batteries Fall Mlle Beyond Their
 TarOet


 ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH-BOAT DAUNT- LESS, via ST. THOMAS, D. w. l., May 13-The forts of San Juan de Porto Rico have been bombarded by DOT ton of the fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Sampson. The remark able feature of the bombardment was the bad craftsmanship of the Spanish gunners, hardly a shot from the forts striking the ships. Most of the pro- iectiles fell very wide. At the close of the bombardment the Notifications had very dilapidated appearance, but the gunboats were as active as ever.
 The United States monitor Terror had a magnificent half-hour duel with the forts. The batteries bravelv threw shot and shell at her until she seemed to occupy the center of a great basin. The Spanish gunnerS were crazed by eycitement and sometimes dropped their shells a mile away. The Terror fired one shot to the forts ten and when the monitor retired she did SC slowly. contemptuously, still firing at the Spanish forts. The Spaniards con- timed to fire on her until she was miles out of range.
 After the engagement the Dauntless steamed among the fleet, whose crews u,era cleaning the decks and polishing tba o,lns. The American sailors were said to be not at all excited, and were goinq about their work as 1T nothing Extraordinary had happened.
 The only marks on the Iowa were dent in her exhaust pipe, and slight injury to the railing of her bridge. The

 FROM GARCIA Lieutenant Rowan Re- turns From His Voy-
 age to Cuba.
Eastern Army of the Insur- gents Numbers Fifteen
 Thousand Men.
Not Spaniard Met in Journey Across the Widest Part of
 the Island.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

KEY WEST, Fla. May 13.-Lieuten- ant Andrew S. Rowan of the Nine teenth Infantry arrived here to-day from Cuba, bearing important dis matches from General Calixto Garcia, commander of the department or the East of the insurgent army, for General Miles or General Shafter, commanding the army of invasion.
 Lieutenant Rowan, with number Of guides, left Jamaica on April 23 to car ry information to and confer With Gen eral Garcia He and his companions crossed to Cuba in an open boat, iand- ing on the coast near Pico OJo oel TOTO province of Santiago de Cuba, and little west of the city of that name
 They marched through swamps and underbrush to the mountains, where horses were obtained, and thence pro- ceeded to Bayamo, arriving at that niace five days later They found General Garcia Quartered there With a guard of several hundred troops, with headouarters in the principal house on the main street of the city, which had been abandoned shortly before by the SpaniardS.
 Lieutenant Rowan had a long confer ence with the insurgent general. Who told him there were I0,UOU IFoOpS III HIS command, scattered throughout the isl and. These troops were, General Gar cia informed him, well supplied with arms, but lacked ammunition.
 General Garcia expressed his joy al the intervention of the United States When Lieutenant Rowan left the in surgent camp he was accompanied by General Henry Colazo and Chief o1 Staff Colonel Hernandez. They strucl across the country and came out on tht | north coast near Manation May 2. Throughout the journey across tht island. which was made at the wides part, Lieutenant Rowan and his com | panions did not encounter one Spanish | soldier. They took a small sailing yes l sel and put out for Nassau.
 There were six men on board tn small craft and the journey occupied two days. An awning and a hammocl were used for sails and the party sui fered much hardship. At Nassau tn British schooner Peerless was takel for Key West.
 Lieutenant Rowan will leave to-nigh for Tampa to hand his dispatches t the army commander. The substanc of these dispatches and of the lieuten ants conferences with Garcia are, o course, kept secret.

COX said that when they left Cardenas 1t was understood on board that the Will mington was to go in and bomDard CardenaS on Thursday.
 WASHINGTON, May 13.-Mator- General Fitzhugh Lee, who Is spoken of as the most likely man for the post or Military Governor of Cuba until the re- public is established, says that Car denas, which was attacked by four American gunboats, was an important point strategically to be possessed by the United States forces.
 About twenty miles back in the country at Jovellanos, I think it is.' he said, "all the railroads of Cuba form a juncture, and, with Cardenas in the hands of the Americans, the invest ment of Havana would be materially advanced by the possession of that place. No supplies could reach Ha- vana by the regular channels from the interior and, with the blockading fleet in front of the city, it's fate would soon be determined finally. In my opinion the attack upon Cardenas was for the purpose of getting at Jovellanos. Referring to Ensign Bagley, General Lee said: "He was a gallant lad, and I am sorry he is gone. He was a worthy fellow and brave as a lion. I'll bet he made good fight. But'we must not take our losses too much to heart. War means bloodshed upon both sides and we are bound to lose many brave 1 lads before we drag the yellow ensign of Spain from the ramparts of Morro, | Cabanas and others of the strongholds | of the enemy"

SPAIN DEPRIVED OF
 A HARBOR OF REFUGE.
San Juan Notifications Destroyed as a Blow at the Cape Verde
 Fleet.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Navy Department was all excitement this morning upon the receipt of the news that Admiral Sampson'S squadron had begun the bombardment of San Juan de Porto Rico, and fuel was added to the flames when the news came later that the Spanish flying squadron had been sighted off Martinique, giving promise of heavy fighting to come. The fact that the admiral gave notice of his intention to Lombard San Juan, as is reported from St. Thomas, is an in dicatiOn that the movement upon San Juan was not a suddenly conceived project but part of a well-matured plan. Whether or not the orders to the admiral included a bombardment IS not disclosed at the Navy Department. h. deed there is nothing in Simpsons re- port to indicate that he really did bom- bard the place. He merely attacked the forts at the entrance of the harbor and if any shells struck within the town itself they were stray shots
 It is surmised that Admiral Samp- sons object in making the attack in this fashion without a landing force of troops in reserve to occupy the town Ii | it were captured was to destroy the l Qualifications and make the harbor use- less to the Spanish flying squadron as a place of refuge.
 The fact that the Spanish fleet was headed yesterday toward the westward would indicate that it was bound 1 for the south coast of Cuba, but war ships in these circumstances try to mis- | lead observers ashore.
 The information that the Spanish squadron has been sighted off Marti- i niuue caused a decided sensation in naval circles, as this brings close to | Admiral Sampson's squadron the for midable collection of Spains strongest 1 and most modern vessels It is this | fleet which was reported to be lying al Cadiz. Evidently the latter report was 1 inspired by Spanish strategy.
 Martinique is a French island lying
 about 800 miles east of Porto Rico anC 1 TOO miles from the eastern coast o1 Cuba It is one of the outposts Of the
 West Indies and is the natural point
 at which the Spanish fleet coming from Cape Verde would first make a landing
 It must now pass the French island oI
 Guadaloupe to the west, the Danisf
 island of St. Thomas, little further
 west, on it's course to Porto Rico unleS: Sampson's fleet engages them before
 that move is made. As they stand now
 the two fleets are about 800 miles apart
 which. by fast sailing, both fleet:
 would cover in one day. The sailing
 of one fleet would bring them together
 in two days, if the other remained sta | tiOnary.
