CRUISER CINCINNATI
RAN ON A ROCK AND Is STILL
STUCK THERE
PROMOTION OF GENERAL WOOD
Causes Great Rejoicing Among the
Citizens of Santiago-Bells Rung
and Salute Fired
Associated Press Special Wire

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. lS.-While
the United States cruiser Cincinnati was
leaving port about sunset yesterday she ran
full speed upon a rock clearly defined in the
charts. but not buoyed. Last September
General Leonard Wood, considering that
the absence of buoy there might lead to
some accident, anchored small one, the
first ever placed there, but the Bessie on en-
fering the harbor one night carried it away,
and since then there has been no buoy to
mark the location OF the rock.
The Cincinnati is probably not seriously
damaged, as she is not making water. For
the last twenty-four hours the government
collier Southery and the Mayfiower have
been engaged in an effort to pull her off.
Thus far they have been unsuccessful, but it
is hoped they will have better luck tonight
at high tide. The principal risk now is of
tearing a hole in the cruisers bottom while
pulling her off.
1t now turns out that the man who was
shot here Friday morning by Cuban negro
after landing from schooner haling from
Baracoa was not, as at first supposed, Ce-
lesto Rodriguez, the guerrilla, but mer-
chant from Baracoa, who had come here to
purchase supplies. The assumption is that
the crime was committed for the sake of
robbery.
From Firmesa, a town which is virtually
the property OF the Juragua Iron company,
comes report thaa the alcalde has been
attacked and stabbed with machete and
that there has been another stabbing af
fray at Daiquiri. Although these affairs
are probably mining camp rows, the author
tiles now feel compelled to police these
places, which heretofore has been unneces-
sary owing to the fact that majority Of
the workmen were Spanish soldiers and un
der military discipline.
The arrival of the news that the United
States senate had confirmed the nomina
tion of General Wood as major general was
the occasion for universal rejoicing here
General Wood was at Ell Moro examining
the Improvements and got his first intima-
tion when the Punta Gorda battery fired
a major generals salute. The bells in the
cathedral and churches were rung, the civic
band played for several hours and in the
crowded cafes and clubs there were toasts
and cheers in honor of the military gov
ernor.
A round of receptions has been arranged
and public banquet planned.

BACK FROM MANILA
The Transport scandia Arrives From
the Orient

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ls.-The United
States transport Scandia arrived from Ma
Mia tonight with l09 soldiers on turlough.
Three full companies of New York volun-
teers from Honolulu also came and three
sailors of Admiral Dewey's crews, who had
been found guilty OF breaches OF discipline
and sent to the naval prison at Mare island.
The vessel left Manila thirtythree days
ago and the soldiers who came from there
report that all was quiet in the new Amer
lean city when they left. There are about a
dozen Californians on board and they are all
reported in good health. Among them are
R. H. Ross 1. w. Eaton, Sinclair Murray
and I. F. Boyes.
Several of the New York volunteers who
were carried aboard the vessel i'll at Homo
lulu are still confined to their hunks, but
they are all reported doing well.
The vessel is in the stream and no one
will be landed until after an inspection by
the quarantine officer tomorrow. She was
eight days making the trip from Honolulu.

Moving a Bridge

MILWAUKEE, Dec. lS.-A remarkable
feat of bridge moving was accomplished to-
day by the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway company, under the direction of j.
S. Robinson, division superintendent of the
engineers of that road. The bridge was a
single track draw, weighing 2l5 tons, and
was removed distance of 250 feet to new
foundation in the quick time of two hours
and fifty-seven minutes. The structure
vas floated on two scows, one on either side
of the center, which were sunk with 10000
gallons of water. With the scows in proper
position, the water was pumped out, and
the bridge gradually lifted from its founda-
ton and towed to its new resting place
by two tugs. The bridge had rendered SER
vice since 1880, and is still in good condition,
being removed to make way for a double
track structure OF the latest pattern.

APPEALS FOR PARDON
For the Soldier Whom Drink Made
Too Affectionate

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. ls-Prominent
citizens have interested themselves in behalf
OF Moore, the Maine artillery man, who was
the other day sentenced to pay fine of
$500 or serve sixty days on the chain gang
by Judge Norwood for attempting on the
streets to hug the wife Of prominent citi-
zen. A petition to the governor for pardon
is being circulated and it is being signed
not only by leading men but by society wom-
en- as well. Moore was hilariously intoxi.
Gated at the time of the offense. He has
borne an excellent reputation in his COM
mand. His petition will go to the governor
probably tomorrow, and, considering the
high character of the signers, it is probable
the pardon will be promptly granted.
Moore is now in the chain gang, where he
has been for two weeks. The petitioners saw
they think his degradation and punishment
have been ample.

A MONUMENT UNVEILED
Which Does Not Please the People of
Turkey

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 1s.-The Rus
sian Grand Duke Nicholas, who arrived here
on a Russian steamer, today unveiled at
Catalina near San Stefano, where, on March
Sd, 1878, was signed the treaty of peace that
terminated the RussoTurkish war, a monu
ment to the Russian soldiers who fell in that
conflict. The unveiling was accompanied
with much ceremony and, a military parade,
at which representatives, of all the Balkan
states were present. Earlier in the day a
requiem was held at the Russian chapel
there in memory OF the dead. The Turkish
newspapers are excessively irriNted at
these ceremonies, which recalled the great
disasters to Turkish arms.
At the reception at the palace yesterday
the grand duke handed the sultan the
czar's autograph letter and informed his ma
jesty that Emperor Nicholas had delegated
him (the grand duks) to draw closer the ties
of friendship binding the two countries.
Decorations and presents were exchanged

HUNGRY FARMERS
Will Receive Aid If They Really
Need It

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1s.-The re-
ported destitution of the settlers around
Lockwood, in the southern part of Mon
terey county, has caused many expressions
of sympathy here, and relief movement
will probably be started. President Dohr-
man of the Merchants association says that
if the accounts of suffering are verified the
organization and other bodies will take up
the matter and afford aid to the unfortunate
people. II. Drummer, cashier of the Coum-
bia Trust company, who is familiar with the
situation, says that privation and hunger
certainly exist in the Lockwood district,
but he does not think that more than 200 peo-
pie are in need of immediate assistance. He
says that they made the mistake of settling
on land only fit for grazing, and attempting
to support families on 100 acres OF land.

to get sufficient coal into these vessels to
enable them to remain with the squadron,

and two small torpedo boats. Later In the

ment from Jamaica.
II. On the 30th instant, the New Or
leans arrived, conveying the collier Sterling.
IS. Concerning the coaling of large fleet
of vessels, would particularly call the de-
partment's attention to the necessity for
heavy bags holding about 800 pour'ds in ad-
dition to buckets, which have not proved
of much use. They should also be provided
with at least six cotton bales or heavy woolen
camels six to eight feet broad. to be used
as tenders to take the thrust of the ships
and to permit coaling in rcugher weather
than is now possible with the means at our
disposal At present we are coaling on all
favorable occasions in plain sight of the
enemy's fleet.
Very respectfully,

U. S. n, Commander-in-C Chief

THE STATE PRINTER I.
Will Do No Work Until the Pay Is

SACRAMENTO, Dec. ls.-1he talk of
late of opening the state printing office to
print official reports and other things re-
quired by the legislature is likely to result
in nothing. The state board of examiners
are willing to back State Printer Johnston
by recommending a deficiency appropria-
tion, but leading members of the incoming
legislature have refused to give the state
printer assurance that the bills will be al
lowed. Prominent Republican members
say they will not do anything to help Gov
ernor Budd out of the pit he has dug for
himself, and that he must bear the respon-
sibility Of the situation. Governor Budd
writes to Mr.. Johnston today that the lat
ter must decide for himself whether he will
act on the board of examiners proposition,
and Johnston has decided not to take any
chances.
