Work at Mare Island NAVY yord

MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD, Cal,
April 1.-THE United States vessels now
here are rapidly being prepared for use
in case of war. The cruiser Charleston is
nearly ready to leave the dock. 1t is the
intention of Admiral Kirkland to have her
ready for fighting by the end of the present
month. On Saturday afternoon the Pensa-
cola was placed in commission, with Capt
Glass in command. She has only a working
crew at present The reason for placing
the ship in commission at this time is that
she IS to be used as quarters for a large
detachment of marines who will be re-
moved from the marine barracks in order
70 make room there for temporary hospital
Since the earthquake wrecked the dwellings
at Mare island, Captain Glass and several
officers have been living on the Pensacola
The task of preparing the Philadelphia for
sea is being expedited as fast as mechanics
can get ahead with the work. The work
has become so great that the men in the
steam engineering department have been
ordered to work overtime. All the officers
of the Albatross have been detached She
will probably go out of commission.

that foul Spanish plot. He insisted that no

The first lion was very large. He killed

starved for the last week. The bull with
out moments hesitation, sprang at the
lion and caught him on mis- horns under the
fore leg, and threw him backward fifteen
