 Three Inquests.
 OAKLAND, March 21-Coroner Bald win held three inquests tonight with one jury. Testimony for all three was taken and the deliberations of the jury were taken afterward. The first case was that of Alvin Norlan of Golden Gate, in which some one accused Dr. A. II. Pratt or a drug clerk of giving a child the wrong medicine. The jury found that death re- suited from pneumonia, as certified by Dr. Pratt, and that the medicine was all right.
 In the case of Thomas Moore, a colored man of West Oakland, it was determined that death was the result of consump- tion, and nothing was discovered that was irregular
 The greatest interest was manifested in the case of Gee Lee, whose death fol lowed fracture of the right leg near the thigh. Dr. R. s. Strattc1 reduced the fracture and placed the les .n splints. Lee was then removed to the laundry and Dr. Hai Lo Tai of San Francisco summoned. On his arrival he removed the dressings, twisted the leg and after putting on some ointment bound if 1ID fully six inches below the fracture. Iii was expected that the jury would find the Oriental physician responsible for Lees death, but they attributed it to the shock occasioned by the fracture

Grating on Potato Vines.

BERKELEY, March 21.-Superintendent J. w. Mills of the Pomona Agricultural Experiment Station has succeeded in a experiment-the grafting of a morning glory on sweet potato vine. An ipsomea grandifiora, or large moonfiower, a spe- cies of large lowered morning glory, was grafted upon the stem of a red Bermuda sweet potato, and as result of the grating both the plants attained an un- usually large growth. The sweet po- tato vine produced twenty-one pounds of potatoes, one of them alone weighing thirteen and half pounds. Ordinarily a vine produces only from ten to twelve pounds, the single potatoes rarely weigh ing over four pounds.

GREATEST
Battle Ever Fought ON the
Ocean is Looked For
Tomorrow.

New York, May IA special to the
World from Washington, says:
eve expect important news from
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS fleet about
Sunday night said a member of the
cabinet Rear Admiral Sampson, with
a number of his ships, is rapidly sailing
toward the Porto Rican coast. He is
expected to arrive off Porto Rico this
evening.
The Spanish Cape Verde fleet, which
is believed to be making for San Juan,
Porto Rico, should make its appearance
some time Sunday. Should the two
powerful fleets meet, as now seems i'm
mlnent, the greatest naval battle of the
world will be fought.
The Spanish fleet is considered by the
American authorities as presenting a
very formidable array of fighting YES
sells, and the ability of it's commander,
Admiral Villomil, is well known. But
the naval officials have no fears of the
result of the battle between the two
fleets.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Long have received no information to
change their belief that the Cape Verde
fleet is coming this way. Should Rear
Admiral Sampson fail to locate the
SpaniardS after a diligent search, it
is not yet positive that he will attempt
to seize Porto Rico. All depends on the
course of events.
The administration wants first to ac-
complish the destruction of the Cape
Verde fleet. After that has been dis
posed of move will be made on Cuba.
Havana will be given twenty-four
hours to surrender; American troops
will then be landed.
-
her fleets destroyed Spain will sue for
peace, and Cuba will be conquered with
out sending an American soldier to Gu
ba.

MAY FESTIVAL OPENS.
Indianapolis Pronounces This Years
Effort the Greatest Success.

Indianapolis, Ind, May THE tenth
Indiana May music festival, opening
last night, was the greatest artistic
success of the series. The feature was
the first performance in America of
Benoit'S famous oratorio "Lucifer,'
with David Bispham as Lucifer, George
Hamlin as Water, Oscar Ehrgott as
Earth, and Emma Juch and Josephine
S. Jacoby as Fire. The work is two
hours long, and the great chorus of
nearly 500 voices, including the child
ren'S chorus that has been added, ex-
celled even the superior work of pre-
Vious years.
The festival opened with America
and closed with THE Star Spangled
Banner" and a sensational demonstra-
ton resulted, the audience standing up
and cheering until the songs were re-
peated. The big chorus sat under a
huge electric flag, taking up the entire
top of the stage

der in the goth Round

San Francisco, May Thomas J.
Sharkey, the sailor pugilist, and James
j. Jeffries, admittedly the leading heavy
weight pugilists in fighting harness to-
day, met before the National Athletic
club in this city last night to settle the
question of supremacy.
Jeffries secured a decision over Shar-
key in the Goth round, but could not
knock him out.
Time was called at 1910
The first four rounds were fast and
furious, Sharkey adopting his usual
tactics OF trying to foul and clinch.
Round 5-Jeffries led straight for the
body, but fell short. Sharkey swung
left for body and missed, getting a left
on the face moment later. Sharkey' s
leads mostly short. In a clinch Shar-
key struck JeHrieS, and was hooted.
Jeffries staggered the sailor with a left
hook. Sharkey rushed wildly, but was
stopped and forced backward Jeffries
jabbed Sharkey on the face at the call
of the time.
showed wonderful endurance in re-
ceiving Jeffries' punishment.
Round 18-Several hot exchanges were
made and Sharkey at one time had his
opponent to the ropes. Jeffries got in
three hard ones on the jaw. Sharkey
became wobbly and the gong alone
saved him.
Round 19.-This round was a hard one

out. A hard left over the heart made
him vince. The round ended with Shar-
key in his corner still lodging.
Round 20-Both men were tired, but
fought very roughly. JeffrieS landed
several times on the body and face, but
could not knock the sailor out. Gong
rang in the middle of a hot mix and the
crowd went wild with enthusiasm
Referee Greggins announced Jeffries
the winner amid great enthusiasm.
During the performance the seats,
elevated on the whole end of the west
side of the building, suddenly collapsed
and the occupants were piled in a con-
fused heap. For a brief period it was
jured, but it was subsequently ascer-
tanned that none of the bruises were
serious. The great crowd was in a
tremendous uprOar over the occurrence,
and it was fully half an hour before the
police had brought order out of the
chaos.
Then a second section of seats on the
northeast side of the building came
down in a heap and the audience was
again thrown into a state of uproar.
A few moments later another section
in the northwest corner collapsed and
the great crowd was almost in a state
of panic. Every man was on his feet
and a very uneasy feeling pervaded the
whole house.
Then the whole side of the elevated
seats came down in a terrific roar and
the audience was almost beyond con-
troll.
Almost every tier of seats in the
house had now fallen and the five or
six thousand of people on the main floor
We're packed in an excited crowd.

READY TO EMBARK.
Seven of the Transports to Garry
Troops to Cuba Now at Tampa

Tampa, Fla, May Interpretations
for the embarkation of the United
States troops are rapidly being COM
pleted. Seven of the transports to be
used in carrying the soldiers and their
horses and supplies to Cuba, are now at
Port Tampa.
They are the Comal, Allegheny, Berk-
shire, Florida, Whitney, Gussie and De
catur H. Miller, the last named arriV-
ing today from Baltimore. Nearly all
of the ships have been given a full sup
ply of coal. The Florida, Berkshire and
Allegheny had a large force OF carpen-
tiers working on them all day erecting
stalls for the accommodation of the
cavalry and artillery horses and the
pack mules and will be in readiness for
loading tomorrow.
Rations enough for 1000 men for 80
days are expected to arrive tomorrow.
In spite of the intense heat the men
were given long drills today. They are
rapidly becoming acclimated and when
the time comes for shipment, as bronzed
and trained a lot of men as ever Shout
dered guns, will break camp and en-
bark.

WHY GO TO LITTLE TOWNS
An Often and Always Unsatisfactory
Experiment For State Conventions.

A candidate for place on the Re
publican state ticket who has returned
from attending the Seventh congress
sional district convention at Hutchin-
son said today:
IT do not understand how Hutchinson
expects to take care of the delegates to
the state convention. There was not
half the crowd at the congressional
convention that will be present at the
state convention, yet the accommoda-
lions were exhausted, or nearly so this
week.
II never heard so much complaint in
a crowd as the delegates to the con-
gressiona1 convention uttered during
the two days, Wednesday and Thurs
day. 1 have no desire to criticise or
find fault with the people of Hutchin-
son but the town cannot take care of a
convention like the Republican state
convention will be.
This is not the only difficulty either

mote parts Of the state. while all roads

THEY DON'T BELIEVE 1T.
Owners of the Lafayette Doubt the
Presence of Spanish Officers
Aboard

Havre, France, May THE officers of
the French Transatlantic Steamship COM
pany say that they do not believe Spanish
officers embarked on board their steamer,
Lafayette, captured by the United States
gunboat off Havana, when the French
liner touched at Corunna, Spain. They
said it would have been easier for the
Spaniards to embark on Spanish vessels
and they explain that if such officers were
found on board they deceived the captain
of the Lafayette in regard to their status
When the Lafayette sailed from St. Naz-
aire, though war had not yet been declar-
ed, her commander was warned that if he
learned hostilities had commenced he was
to obey all customary regulations. The
French company officials do not believe
the captain of the Lafayette has violated
the neutrality laws.

PREPARING FOR ATTACK.
Heavy Guns Being Mounted in the
Canary Islands

Canary Islands.
London, May 7.-Steamers arriving
today from the Canaries report that
the United States consul at Las Palmas
left suddenly with plans of Las Palmas
harbOr.
They say, also, that there are 1900
Spanish troops in Grand Canary alone
under Gen Sugara, most of whom are
armed with Mausers.
Every Spaniard and Canarian had
been pressed into the service and the
business of fruit packing was left to
the women.
Fortiications were rapidly being con-
structed and a new fort on the hillside
at Las Palmas, facing the sea, will
mount heavy guns. The military au-
thorities were taking possession of the
buildings of the British subjects, for
which they refused to pay or make ex-
changes, and the government was SELL
ing at auction all sorts of monopolies,
arms, paints and the like, in a desper-
ate attempt to raise revenue.
