CHANGING THE SHIPS
 IN HAVANA HARB0R.
American Vessels Will Not Be Kept There Long Enough to Ee
 Blown Up After This.

Copyrighted. 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 HAVANA, March 16.-The Montgom- cry will leave here tomorrow and again be replaced by the Fern. Cap tain Sigsbee, MT. Wainwright and MT. Powelson will again transfer their quarters to the latter vessel Should the Fern be required for further duty in carrying relief stores to other parts of the island, the Montgomery or some other vessel may come back.
 It appears to be the admiraps pur- pose to make these changes occasion ally, rather than keep one vessel and crew long time in the harbor. This policy affords an opportunity to keep the ships clean, which Is impossible while lying in this port.
 The divers to-day recovered several of the Maine's one-pound and six pound guns, and also saved several breech locks of larger guns. Now that the naval divers are relieved of work under direction of the Court of Inquiry, they will devote themselves as far as possible to salvage from the wreck. Material recovered within a few hours to-day is valued at from s300O to s4000. The Spanish divers are still working a part of each day.

GOVERNMENT WANTS
 AN AMBULANCE SHIP.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Surgeon General Van Reypn of the navy re- turned to-day from Newport News, whither he went to examine into the practicability of converting the Plant Line steamship Grand Duchess into an ambulance or hospital ship for use of the Navy Department in case of hostili- ties with Spain. The vessel, after some necessary work. would make an admir- able ambulance ship. but the lack of boilers. which it would take some months to replace, limits her adapta- bility for use at the present time.
 There is no room aboard the ordi- nary battleship, says General Van Reypn, for an accumulation of wound ed men because of the manner in which the vessels are cut up into large num- Der of rooms and apartments. Accom- panying a fleet of vessels engaged in war should be an ambulance ship with adequate accommodations for treating the sick and wounded with the least possible Jar and movement, and which flying the flag of the Geneva Conven- tion, would be free from harm from the fire Of any of the ships.

Hurried Preparations for a Naval DemOnStra-
 ton in the Far East.
The Great Powers of Europe May Have Troubles of
 Their Own.
Marquis Ito Shows Desire to Bring China and Japan Closer
 Together.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, March 16-The Aurore to- day affirms that the French fleet is be- ing prepared for mobilization, adding that feverish anxiety prevails at all the arsenals and shipyards, which ara working until 10 o'clock at night.
 The Aurore says the French North ern squadron at Cherbourg is ready for immediate departure. The ships, it ap- pears, are being swung during the night at Cherbourg for the adjustment of their compasSeS. Finally, it is aS- serted, that, in order to complete the necessary number of officers, second- year students are to be appointed mid shipmen, and all admirals have been instructed to arrange to reach Paris within twenty-four hours after being summoned.
 The Aurore explains that the mobil- ization is connected with preparations to support Russia by naval demon stration in the far East.
 LONDON, March 1.-The Vienna correspondent of the Times says: On unimpeachable authority l learn that since the Marquis Ito became the Jap- anese Premier the relations between Tokio and Peking have been steadily improving. China sought his advice on the question of intercourse with foreigners and he urged the Emperor to grant railway concessions and to allow foreigners to found banks in China, as the Chinese would never have confidence in paper issued by the native banks.
 A dispatch from Shanghai says Rus sia has informed China that the lat ter's delay in replying to the Russian demands would be construed as an acouiescence in the Russian occupa- tion of Port Arthur.
 Sir Claude McDonald, the British Minister at Picking, is said to be urg- l ing China to resist.
 SHANGHAI, March 1.-The Ameri- can medical mission in the suburbs of ! Chung King Flu, province of Szo- Chwan, on the Yang-tse- kIang' has | been attacked by a mob. The native medical assistants have been mal- treated and one has been murdered.

THE LOYAL LEGION.
It Held Its Quarterly Meeting at the
 Occidental Hotel Last Might.

The Loyal Legion held it's quarterly meeting at the Occidental Hotel last night, and attested it's patriotic fervor and spirit by many toasts pledged to the welfare of the Union, and the glory of the stars and stripes. The meeting was called to order with General William R. Shaf- ter in the chair, and the following were elected members of the Legion: General F. M Crandel, Colonel c. H. Rippey, Lieutenant David Gochenauer, Lieutenant Bradley Smith, Lieutenant J. H. Benham, Lieutenant E. w. Kellogg and c. D. Reppy.
 The Legion indorsed the bill offered in the House, No. 3106, by MT. Hansbrough, to preserve the national flag from desc cration. The following officers wersa nominated Commander, Colonel J. CV Currier; senior vice-commander, AdmiraT J. N Miller, U. s. N. junior vice-com- CT, ". R. Smedberg; treasurer. Colonel c. M. Kinne; registrar, Captain G.. E. Overton; chancellor, Major M. Maylan; chaplain, Rev. w. N. Meserve; counsel General P. F. Walsh, Colonel George Stone, Colonel E. A. Denicke, Colonel w. R. Parnell and Captain c. A. Sumner.
 After the business meeting there was a banquet at which many numerous and happy impromptu speeches were made. The banquet hall was appropriately dec orated with the national flag, while pie lures of Washington, Lincoln and Me Kinley added to the patriotism of the oc- caSiOn.

JAILED FOR CONTEMPT.
Visalia Citizen Refuses to Answer Questions Put by the Court.
 Found Dead in Bed.

VISALIA, March 16-After considering the matter for three days, Judge Webb of Fresno, who is presiding in the Superior Court of this county in a lengthy suit over the division of irrigating water com mitted Charles D. Smith of this city to the county jail to-day for contempt of court in refusing to answer question.
 Mir Smith is one of the most prominent and reliable civil engineers in this part of the valley. Over ten years ago he had taken many important field notes while surveying the bed of Deep Creek which stream is now figuring prominently in the water suit in court. These notes Smith was asked by counsel for the de- fendantS to read in court. He refused to do so. The Judge then asked him to answer. but Smith again refused, and he was ordered to jail until he consents to answer Smiths main reason for reius- ing to answer, he says, is that he has not had time to study n-S notes, and to at tempt to explain them without study would result in giving false impressions as to the facts in the case.
 consider my word of honor worth Webb. If you wish to put me in jail I will have to go there.''
 Another reason for Smiths action is that the attorneys for the defendants have refused to pay him S10 a day, the regular fee as an expert witness he has generally received in similar cases. A 1ee.of $2 day while he was on the stand was offered him, but he refused it.
 The case in court involves most of the Irrigation ditch companies in the county and good many of the riparian owners.

STATE MILITIA
 READY FOR WAR.

SEATTLE, March 16.-Adjutant- General J. E. Ballaine was in the city to-day from Olympia to confer with Brigadier-General J. D. Mcintyre and other officers of the National Guard of Washington. He has been traversing the State for several days past looking into the condition of the various com- pan1es and urging that the maximum ndmber in place of sixty men to each company be fully recruited. On the 1st of January last the guard numbered about TOO, but since the probability of war has arisen recruiting has been quite active. General Ballaine said to- night that to-day there are 1050 officers and men in the service. They are di- vided into eleven companies of in- fantry, two of cavalry. one battery of light artillery and bands of music.
 He added: "The full strength of the National Guard of this State could be mobilized within twenty-four hours after the issuing of orders, and would be prepared for service without addi- tional aid from the United States Gov ernmput

MRS RISES SURRENDER.
Withdraws Her Suit for the Late
 George Dickson's Estate.

SAN RAFAEL, March 16.-Another sen- sation was sprung in the case of the estate of George E. Dickson this morning when the contest of Mrs. Mary Rise Dickson was dismissed by James W. Cochrane. her attorney. Mrs. Rise, as she is generally known in San Rafael, claims to have been the contract wife of the deceased, who committed suicide in the Central Hotel at this place on the night of January II, 1897. leaving an estate valued at over $40 ,000.
 An air of mystery pervades the affair. The dismissal was filed early this morn ing quietly so as not to attract atten- tion James ". Cochrane, who appears as attorney of record in the proceedings for the alleged widow, was seen at his the filing of the dismissal.
 At the office of Hepburn Wilkins, attor- ney for the estate and the Dickson heirs, it was stated that no compromise had been made with Mrs. Rise and that the dismissal was filed by her or her attor- ney acting for themselves and through no agreement with the administrator.

NOT READY YET WITH 4 REPORT The Naval Court of In quiry May Go Back
 to Havana. Will Depend Upon Whether the Testimony Already Taken
 Is Clear.
More Than Likely to Begin the Formulation of It's Report
 at Once.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 BOSTON, Mass, March 16.-A. Mau- rice Low, a well-known and reliable correspondent, sends the following from Key West tonight: A member of the Court of Inquiry told me this morning. with the restriction that his name should not be used, that the cours had returned to Key West with the inten- tion of beginning at once to formulate it's report. It was not the courts in tention, he said, to return to Havana, but that could not be finally deter mined until the court proceeded to the consideration of the testimony in de- tail.
 There is,' said this officer, "a stack of typewriter manuscript foot high which covers the testimony taken be- fore the court. No man can carry all this evidence in his head. It will have to be most carefully read. In reading it we may find it necessary to return to Havana to seek further elucidation on some point which was overlooked at the time, but becomes of supreme inn portance in connection with other things, and must be inquired into be- fore we can reach a conclusion. In that case we shall return to Havana; otherwise not"
 Would the entire court return?" this officer was asked.
 Certainly" was the reply. "Once constituted the court cannot be divid- ed The entire court must act together, and if one member leaves all must go. It is not likely the court will go to Washington The report will be made to the admiral, and, in all probability, will be taken to Washington in person by Judge Advocate Mark"
 The lighthouse tender Mangrove, with the Court of Inquiry on board, arrived this morning. Admiral Sicard told me he did not know how long the court would be here, whether it had finished it's work and would formulate its report here, or whether it would return to Ha- vana. The court, he said, was an 1nde- pendent body, and could proceed as it considered best. It Is not unlikely, he said that Captain Sampson would ac- quaint him generally with what had been done up to the present time, but it would not ask for orders. Some of the Maine's officers, who are held here at the disposition of the court, believe the court may return to Havana, but they know nothing positively as yet. They expect to hear definitely before many hours.
