Versus shafter.
Secretary Long has made public the
report submitted by Rear Admiral
Sampson covering the. conduct of the
north Atlantic fleet in it's operations
ending with the destruction of the
Spanish squadron. This report is one of
the appendices to the report of Captain
A. S. Crowninshield, chief of the bureau
of navigation. 1t confirms the story
concerning the alleged dilatoriness Of
Rear Admiral Schley in reaching San
tiago, his leaving that port for Key
West and his return in accordance with
orders sent to him by the Harvard and
the fact that he was succeeded in su-
preme command by Rear Admiral
Sampson.
According to the chart accompanying
th&11port, Cervera had been ten days
ineille of the harbor of Santiago before
Rear Admiral Schley had instituted a
blockade, though he was advised of the
enemy's presence at that point on May
2S, four days after Admiral Cervera' s
arrival. He should have reached San
tiago on May "a, it is alleged.
Cervera's Mistake.
Naval officers say that had Cervera
been an active enemy he could easily
have coaled and made all necessary re-
pairs within ten days and left the port
to harry the north Atlantic coast and

This would have necessitated the form

war might have been in progress up to
this time.
Cervera failed to take advantage of
his opportunity. As shown by his re-
port, the first information received by
Rear Admiral Sampson of the presence
of the Spanish fleet on this side Of the
Atlantic was contained in these dis
patches from the department:
Flying squadron will sail today for Charles

West if necessary. The Minneapolis leaves to-
day to watch between Monte Christi and Caicos

VICTORIA, Jan. 31.-It is reported here tonight with an appearance of probability that the operations of the British fleet in the neighborhood of Coquimbo during the next few weeks will be of more than ordinary interest. The cruiser Leander left for there on Saturday, and the flagship will follow in couple of days. It is believed that the acquisition of territory with a view to strengthening the British naval SUD- ply station at Coquimbo is on the cards, and also that the British con- template the establishment of an other station on the South American coast at a port not far from Valpa- raiso.

NECESSITY OF
 TENDERS IGNORED
Supervisors Postpone Their Decision for What
 Purpose?
Are They Waiting, for Their Price Before Reaching a Con-
 cluSion?

The sad details of the death of g. year-old Hulda Johnson, whose young life was crushed out under the wheels of the Juggernaut on Sunday and which appeared in yesterdays Call, aroused the righteous indignation of the community yesterday.
 Notwithstanding the fact that an- other victim was added to the already long list of victims, yet the Supervisors yesterday completely ignored the im- portant question. It would seem that they have lost all regard for their fel- low men, and that the only way to make them feel the necessity of such a humane invention would be the maiming of some relative or dear friend of their own by the fenderless cars.
 A great deal of blame has been thrown upon the railroad companies for not adopting some sort of fender. From inter- views had yesterday 1t was learned that they were perfectly willing to adopt one, but held back for fear that the Supervis- CTS might say to them after they had equipped their cars at great expense that another fender had been adopted by them as the proper one for use on street rail- roads, This reason alone stops them from equipping their cars.
 Why don't the Supervisors settle the matter? Are they waiting for their price? ?

Extent of the Failure of the Second Largest Gold Mining Concern
 in Alaska.
Special Correspondence of The Call.

SITKA, Alaska, Jan. 21.-The Nowell Gold Mining Company, next to the Treadwell, is, with all it's stamp mills and properties, the largest gold min- ing concern in Alaska Owing to aI- legged mismanagement the company re- gently went into the hands of a re- ceiver. The employees of the Berners Bay Mining and Milling Company, one of the Nowell Company's best proper ties, refused to surrender it to the re- ceiver, and at one time it looked as though the United States troops at Sitka might be called upon to enforce the decree of the United States District Court Of Alaska by assisting Receiver E. F. Cassel to gain possession of the property. The court adjudged the em- ployes in contempt and deputy United States Marshal has gone to Berners Bay to make formal demand for the surrender of the mine. The latest news from Berners Bay is that the diff f1culty is in a fair way to peaceable adjudication without resort to force of arms.

FUEL FOR TORPEDO BOATS. Navy Department Decides Upon Oi
 After Thorough Experiments.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-The Navy Department has decided to adopt oil as fuel for torpedo-boats. Its advantages over coal have been proved in recent ex- periments at New York with the Stiletto. and authority has been asked by the special board conducting the trials to fit put this boat permanently with necessary appliances It is suggested further that some new torpedo-boats now building be equipped with similar apparatus.
 The caloric power of oil over coal was demonstrated on one of the trials of the Etiletto, when it was shown that a ton of coal would run the vessel about twenty-eight miles, while a ton of oil would enable her to steam ffty-six miles at the same rate. The steaming radius of torpedo-boats will almost be doubled by the Introduction of oil, which. in addi- ton, occupies less space than coal. An other advantage Is that there is no waste and no danger of spontaneous combus- ton. The introduction of oil on these boats. will not lead to the abandonment of coal entirely, as by simple arrange ment the oil feed gear can be removed and the. use of coal resumed without &c., rious delay.

Says Ecclesiastical BodieS Must Regulate Them
 selves.
May Not Resort to Law tc Compel Obedience to
 Their Rules.
Suit Brought to Close House of Worship Is Decided Against
 the Plaintiff.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, Jan. 31.-Judge Budd, in giving his ruling on the demurrer inter posed against Attorney Brinkley's com plaint on "ecclesiastical outlawry, throws the case out of court. and Tn effect tells the attorney to appeal to heaven Brinkley demanded that the court revoke the license of colored brother to preach; that the church be closed, and that it otherwise be made to feel the vengeance of the secular law because the members were not Christians and had not lived up to Bap- tist law.
 Brinkley is a colored preacher who got a license from the Supreme Court, and his first attempt at practice of law was to go after an offending church lN a complaint which he indorsed as "ec- clesiastical outlawry. The decision Is of some interest aside from this, as it discusses the standing of religious cor porationS.
 Judge Budd says that a question not raised by the demurrer must be con- sidered by the court, and that is whether the court has jurisdiction of the principal subject matter of this ac- ton. It is the policy of our laws that the free exercise and enjoyment of re- ligious profession and worship without discrimination or preference shall be granted in this State. No one church, however, can make ruler for another and independent church, nor for the discipline of such other members.
 When a number of churches of the same denomination are united in one association of churches, such associa- tion can be incorporated. If the Second Baptist Church has been admitted into the Western Association, then the dis cipline of that church and of it's mem bers for want of compliance with the rules of that association is for that as- sociation, and not for the secular courts.
 The principles stated in the com plaint as those which should govern Christians in their intercourse with each other, and members Of one church with another, are most commendable, says the court, but the ordinary code of justice cannot interfere with any de- parture from the rules indicated by such principles. The matter must be heard and determined by ecclesiastical tribunals established by churches for that purpose, and ultimately by tri- bunal much higher than any earthly

Mrs. Orosco's dead body was found in the bedroom of her home on Aliens ranch with a bullet hole in her breast.

ONLY LEAKY TUBES. Magnifed Reports of Damages to

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-A good deal of amusement was excited among off, cials of the Navy Department at the at tempt being made to convey the impress sion that the fine battleship Indiana had suffered some severe and dangerous breakdown while on the way south re- gently through the failure of her boilers. As a matter of fact the extent of the mishap was the leakage: of one or two tubes in the boiler, :an event so insig- niffcant and of such frequent occurrence on all kinds of steamships that Admiral Sicard made only passing reference to it as an explanation of why he took the Indiana in tow for six hours to prevent her from delaying the progress of the remainder of the squadron. Otherwise the matter would not have been called to the attention of the department, save In one of the monthly reports.

Fear the Kentucky Will Be but an Unlucky
 Ship.
Where the Custom Of Christen- ing Vessels With Wine
 Comes From.
Has a Significance Which Appeals Particularly to the Warriors
 of the Sea.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Washington, Jan. 31
 The officers of the Navy on duty here are very much perturbed over MISS Bradley's announcement that she will use water in christening the battie-shlp Kentucky, and express considerable worry over the practical effect Of such a departure from precedent.
 This intention of Governor Bradleys daughter may not strike landsmen as anything more than a good joke on State that has always been represented as a hard drinking community, sald one officer to-day, but 1t may re- suit badly for the navy. Not man in the service will feel a ray of com- fort in sailing in a ship that has been baptized in water. AS for myself, l think no sailor with good red blood Tn his veins can approve of any such dis regard of the conventional method.
 Mark my word, if water is used in the ceremony, the Kentucky will be an unlucky boat, or known as an unlucky boat, which is much the same thing. She'll be regular Friday boat in the mind of every saflorman. She may not come to any grief, but she will have a half hearted crew. The crew should take pride in their ship. They will go into action in the Kentucky, if war should come in her time, just like man with a cracked gun or broken sword.
 This thing of baptizing ships with wine has a significance that is only un- derstood by men who follow the sea. The custom comes from the old Vik- ings. who dashed a cup of wine over the bows of the stanch boats in which they traversed the ocean. People may say it is indecent to use wine in the ceremony of baptizing ships. For my part, I believe it more sacrilegious to use water. I need not explain why. The Kentucky will be the home of her crew, and I tell you the interests of the service demand that she shall go into t I,e tor in ha crnnd nld ',
