PROTECT THE PACIFIC COAST
The Big Battleship Oregon VIII Not
He Taken From Western Waters.

New York. March lit has been de-
cided by the navy department to keep on
the Pacific coast the full force of naval
vessels now there, says the Washington
correspondent of the Herald. Navy de
partment officials recognize the fact that
the strength of the North Atlantic squad.
ron would be strengthened by attaching
the battleship Oregon to Rear Admiral
Sicard's command, but they appreciate the
danger of leaving the Pacific coast with
out assistance Of this class, just as they
appreciate the importance of defending
the ports by vessels of the monitor type.
There are now stationed on the Pacific
coast the Oregon, the coast defense YES
sells Monterey and MonadnOck, and the
training ship Adams. The Oregon, which
is at Puget sound, will be ordered to pro-
ceed to San Francisco harbor, and her
place in northern waters will probably be
taken by the Monterey. The department
recently directed the Monadnock to be
laid in reserve, but these orders have not
been carried out and she will probably be
sent to San Diego.
Besides these ships, the department has
at Honolulu the cruiser Baltimore and
the gunboat Bennington. No orders have
been issued for the return of these vessels
in view of the aspirations of the admins
tration to bring these islands within Amer
lean jurisdiction. The cruiser Alert and
the gunboat Marietta are in Nicarag,ian
and Guatemalan waters respectively.
These ships will be ordered to San Fran
cisco if an emergency arises and will hold
themselves in readiness for active service.

BY SAM w. WALL.

CARIBOU CROSSING, FOOT OF LAKE BENNETT, Tuesday, May 31 (via Seattle, Wash, June 16).-The fio- tilla sailed from Lake Bennett yester- day. Fully five hundred small boats took to the water and ran before a lively breeze to Caribou Crossing. The general movement really began on Sum- day from Bennett. For several days preceding the fleet there had been hourly added to by arrivals from Lin- derman. On Sunday the river was practically cleared from Bennett, and a hundred or more boats spread sail and went down the lake.
 Yesterday the whole lake was alive with white sails careening before the wind The ice had completely disap- peared from the upper lake and the little boats ran the narrow channel di- viding the upper and lower lake suc- cessfuIly and without accident and then spread away over the long and narrow expanse to the lower end, where is the still narrower channel called Car ibou Crossing. There the ice had gorged and there the old familiar scenes of last fall were repeated-the grinding up of boats and the loss and scattering of provisions.
 The too eager, reckless or wftless pressed into the crush, and in twink ling the labor of months was lost as the cakes of ice came together upon them A dozen small boats were ground up to-day and several are reported to ~~%a been lost in the same way yeS-

on him, and there was a quaver in his voice. He did not know then that the chain of evidence had been riveted about him, and that to hope for escape was folly It never entered his mind that his own fatal admissions had been recorded, and that next day the world would look upon him as a wretch fit only for the scaffold.
 The Call had laid the testimony be- fore the officers, and demanded action only when the last question as to its weight had been swept away. Two days later Belew made to District At torney Devlin, in the presence of wit nesses a declaration that himself and no other had been implicated in the killing of the brother and sister. He had previously told the same story to the newspaper man who had been pres ent at the time of his arrest.
 There was nothing more to be done than to let the law take its course, and no obstacles were placed in the way of its doing so. The prisoner acknowl- edged that he deserved to be hanged, and looked forward to the event with almost the calmness which had char acterized the commission of the crime He never expressed the least bitterness toward The Call for having caused his arrest, recognizing the fact that 1t had done nothing not in the interest of jus tioa
