SHIP AND CREW LOST.

Halifax, N s., March 2s.-Schooner
Bee arrived at Digby yesterday bringing
intelligence that when ten miles off Dig
by light she fell in with large schooner
bottom up. The captain of the Bee got on
to vessel bottom and remained there
two hours endeavoring to ascertain her
name. but failed Tug Warina was sent
out from Digby and managed to get a
hawser fastened to the derelict. A start
was made but the line broke. This raised
the bow of the vessel enabling those on
the tug to see her name. She proved to
be the schooner Gladys of ST. john which
passed through Digby Gut on Wednesday,
the 10th inst loaded with piling from
Sam Mill Greek bound to New York, in
command of Captain Slocumb and carry
ing a crew of six men. 1t is surmised
that the Gladys oapsized in squall.
Captain Slocumb and his entire crew I'M
doubted1y persisted The sehooner's boat
is missing and this fact is the ouly hope
of the crew being picked up by passing
vessel. Other tugs have gone out to en-
deavor to get the Gladys into Digby. The
cargo is insured.

York Mills Start But Majority OF Strikers
Decline to Return 80 Work.
ESPECIAL TO THE pRRss.1

lisp EC1AL TO THE PRESSsl
Saco, March 28.-For the first time in
ten weeks the strikers of the York mills
were today given an opportunity to re-
turn to work under the reduction Of
wages, but they did not improve 1T. The
familiar sound of the York bell enticed
from their beds most of the 1900 opera
tives early this morning, but only small
percentage of them passed inside the open
gates. The others remained outside and
lived up to the sentiment expressed in
their mass meeting of Saturday night.
Less than two hundred operatives went
in to work. The others went over to Bid
deford and held Qualification in Marble
hall. At noon the same performance was
repeated Quite number of the strikers
hooted at the employees who passed in
through the gates and the demonstration
was continued till Mayor Lord, City
Marshal Burns and squad Of special
policemen interfered. After the stroke of
the one O'Clock bell the strikers went
again to Marble hall where for four hours
they listened to speeches and voted not to
go back to work.
About four O'Clock Agent Page sent
word to the overseers to send out the few
employees who were at work, the number
being so small it was unwise to attempt
to run the mills. The speed was shut off,
belts and weights unhung, and the gates
locked. Agent Page says the mills will
not be reopened till the strikers vote to go
back to work.

A ENERGETIC OFFICER,
Whose Promotion in the Vol unteer Service Has Probably
 Been Overlooked.

There Is at military headquarters in this city an officer whose varied and extensive duties have been performed with such unobtrusiveness that to many Of the peo- pie of San Francisco he Is not known, yet his range of services has comprised the conducting of the business of the chief quartermaster' office, Department of California and the transaction of the business of quartermaster at the PreSid1o. having also in his charge the garrisons at Fort Point. Fort Baker. Camp Miller and Camp Merriam at Santa Cruz, and at the same time supplying Camp Mer- ritt This officer Is Captain c. B. Thomp- son, quartermaster, United States army, whose services, well performed, have received the full appreciation of his su- periors in this department for his zeal and ability,
 An officer of the general staff yesterday called attention to the singular fact that of all the promotions in the volunteers of officers of the regular service Captain Thompson had received no recognition. ''He remains a captain.' said the officer when he should be, by reason of his position a lieutenant colonel. Probably this is an oversight by the appointing au- thority at Washington. In that case, 1t should be corrected at once by his prompt advancement.

ROBBED A SAILOR.
Frank Clayton and L. B. Barnett Fol- lowed by Their Victim and
 Captured.

Frank Clayton and L. B. Barnett were arrested at an early hour yesterday morning by Policeman Clarke and booked at the City Prison on a charge of rob- bery. The complaining witness is John Erickson, a sailor.
 Erickson was walking along Kearny street and seeing two men standing on the corner of Pine he went over to them and asked them to show him the way to the water front. One of them pin toned his arms to his sides and the other went through his pockets, relieving him Of q 50, his knife and scarfpin. He pleaded with them to return his money, and they each gave him 10 cents.
 Erickson followed them to California street and Quincey place, and when they started to run he yelled for the police. Clarke was close at hand and placed them under arrest. Yesterday morning Erickson swore to complaints in Judge Conlan's court charging Clayton and Barnett, who were the two men. with robbery. He got back from them his knife and scarfpin.
 Clayton was arrested about two weeks ago by Detectives Gibson and Wren while in the company of a well-knowr ex-convict and when searched bottle of knockout" drops was found in his pocket He was charged with vagrancy and when the case was tried before Judge Mogan Clayton put up such a upon him and gave him chance to lead a better life.

THE HONOLULU GARRISON
More New Workers Soon to Go to Hawaii-Other Events
 at the PPeSfdiO

From the developments of yesterday 1t would appear that the remaining compa- nies of the First New York Regiment. now at the Presidio, will be sent to Hono- lulu within the next week. Lieutenant Colonel Stacpole was at department head duarters yesterday to see General Mer- riam, and he stated last night that he had great hopes that his regiment would be sent to Hawaii in a few days. Definite orders regarding the sending of the New York soldiers will probably be issued by General Merriam to-day It may be that only three of the five remaining compa- nies will form the next detachment to leave. These companies will go on the transport Alliance, and the other two companies will follow on q regular pas Senger steamer.
 There were no deaths yesterday at the division hospital. Four men were sent home on sick furloughs and thirty-two were discharged as being cured. Trooper A w Luff of the Utah Cavalry is in the post hospital. where he lies at the point of death with bronchitis.

Thousands of Trout Fry
 to Be Planted.
GOOD SPORT FOR ANGLERS
LAGUNITAS AND PAPER MILL
 CREEKS FAVORED.
Tn the Next Two Weeks Near By Streams Will Be Filled With
 Young Fish.

Local anglers will, doubtless, be pleas ed to learn that the State Fish Commis- sioners have concluded to thoroughly stock the Lagunitas and Paper Mill creeks with trout fry.
 The Call has frequently stated that the prospect for the next few years of trout fishing in coast streams was anything but favorable, because of the past exceeding ly dry winter and the inability of the breeding fishes to reach their spawning grounds.
 It is a well-known fact that 8 large per- centage of the steelheads which attempt ed to reach the head waters of the coast streams last winter were land-locked in tfde-waters and doubtless many of them spawned there. But thanks to Fish Com missioner Vogelsang. thorough stocking of the coast streams will very materially assist to keep up the supply of fnny in- habitants.
 Tomorrow Deputy Fish Commissioner Cross and an assistant will go to San Anselmo station with five cans of trout fry supposed to contain 25,000 fishes of the cutthroat and rainbow trout variety. At a point about one mile below Libertys in the headwaters of Lagunitas creek the fry will be deposited. On Saturday next a second consignment consisting of 50 900 and its tributaries which are within easy reach of Lagunitas station. In the fol- lowing week the San Gregorio and Pesca- dero creeks will be stocked with trout fry, all of which goes to prove that the present Board of Fish Commissioners Is alive to the pleasure and interest of the local an- gling fraternity.

THE BATTLE OF MANILA.
Preparations for the Grand Spectacu- lar Exhibition to Open in
 Central Park

Preparations for the pyrotechnic spec tacle the Battle of Manila and the In- vasion of Cuba, to open Saturday night at Central Park, are rapidly approaching completion and give every evidence that 1t will completely eclipse anything of the kind ever shown in this city
 Talented actors have been engaged to personate Admiral Dewey, Captain Sigs- bee, Governor General Blanco, Admiral Montijo and other celebrities of the late war. Several welI-drilled companies will represent American and Spanish soldiers and sailors.
 Although there will be a lavish display of fireworks nightly the exhibition does not depend entirely upon them for its suc- cess; they are simply some of the very many agreeable features. Twenty Spanish and American ships will be witnessed in conflict, and amid the roar of cannon and explosion of shells the audience will wit ness the utter demolition of the Spanish fleet and the triumph of Dewey and his brave boys. The bombardment of Manila and the blowing up of the Maine are among the many attractive features an- nOnnCed

BITUMINIZED PAVEMENTS.
Police Judges Not Backing Up the Police in Enforcing the Or
 d{nance

Chief Lees recently issued instructions to the police to arrest all teamsters who violated the ordinance providing that on bituminized pavements where there are car tracks no vehicle shall be driven with one wheel on the track and the other on the pavement. Since then thir- ty-seyen arrests have been made, but no fine has been imposed by any of the Police Judges, on the ground that the teamsters should receive sufficient warn ing before punishing them.
 The police think 1t Is about time that an example should be made of those yio- lating the ordinance. They are put to the trouble of making arrests and swear ing to complaints without any result. The ordinance was passed to protect the pave ments from unnecessary destruction, and to drive on both rails of lne car tracks or on the pavement itself, they think that their efforts to enforce the ordi- nance should be backed up by the Police Judges.

 sault With Deadly

Joseph Rossi a bootblack at Third and Mission streets, was arrested yesterday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The complaining witness is G. Annutzi, 40 South Park.
 It appears that Annutzi called at Rossi s stand a week ago to negotiate for its pur- chase. He had in his arms his baby, about a year old Rossi and Annutzf could not agree upon the terms and fight ensued. Rossi seized one of the foot rests and struck at Annutzi, but missed him and hit the baby on the base of the skull. The baby is now In a critical condition. An nutzi pulled out knife and cut Rossi on the arm.
 with a deadly weapon and the case was called in Judge Joachimsen's court yester- day and continued till Friday. Then An nutzi swore to a complaint against Rossi.
