Defaults Taken in Case of Defalca-
 tion and Two of Warehouse
Abandonment.

Defaults were entered in the United States District Court yesterday in the cases of the United States vs William M. Vickrey and others, the United States vs. s. G. Chaser, and the United States vs. Charles R. Bowen.
 Vickrey was Postmaster at Copperopo- lis, Calaveras County, and was committed to an asylum for the insane. When his books were examined it was found that he was short S642 8 for money paid him on money orders. Being insane, he could not be prosecuted on a criminal charge, so in lieu thereof he and his bondsmen were made defendants in civil action to recover the amount embedded. to- gether with interest and costs. Vickrey was discharged from the asylum cured a short time ago. An attachment has been levied on his property to secure the col lection of the judgment.
 S16l6 3S for duties due on goods aban- doned in the bonded warehouse. That against Bowen is for s624 due in the same manner.

Shenandoah at the rate of 10 per cent was paid yesterday. The vessel was reported the other day to have been captured by a Spanish cruiser. A tele- gram was received by the Merchants Exchange yesterday to the effect that on April the Shenandoah was south west of the Azores. Given the usual winds generally encountered in that To- cality, Captain Murphy's vessel would have been somewhere in the vicinity of the place where he was reported to have been captured. Balfour, Guthrie & Co, the charterers of the vessel still doubt the story and think that the Shenandoah will turn up all right at Queenstown.
 William Teane, a laborer, who lives on Minna street. had a most remark able escape on last Monday night. The special providence that watches over drunken men must have had him in charge, for he fell down the Telegraph Hill precipice and escaped with two decorations of the chin, a fracture of the left kneecap a badly abrased right knee and both hands terribly mangled. Dr. Diggins patched him up as well as possible under the circumstances and then sent him to the City and County Hospital. Teane says he does not know how he came to be on Telegraph Hill, but thinks he must have wandered there while drunk, and while trying to find his way home tumbled over the cliff.

FAILED TO
 WING THE
 : BOLD THIEF The Letter-BOx Pil- ferer Fired at by

KNOWN TO THE POLICE.
His Enerainate-L Looking Companion Also Eluded the Authori-
 ties.

Discovered in the act of tampering with mail box at McAllister and Scott streets last Monday night one of the men for whom the postal authorities are anxiously searching jumped into a cart which he had in waiting and drove away. He was detected by police man who, realizing that he could not overtake him, fired three shots at him in the hope of compelling him to stop. Unmindful of the leaden missiles which were sent after him the bold thief fur iously lashed his horse and disappeared along Scott street Word was at once sent to police headquarters and a num- Der of officers were dispatched to head off the thief.
 After searching the Western Addition for the audacious culprit the police men, several hours later, returned to the central station without having ob- tained a trace of him. He wore a slouch hat and a long overcoat and, according to the policeman who detect ed him in the act of tampering with the mail box. was fully six feet tall and was smooth Shaven.
 During the past few weeks a number of letter boxes have been opened and their contents taken. The postal au- thoritieS, unable to catch the thieves, enlisted the services of the police. Spe- cial instructions were issued to the guardians of the peace to closely ex- anime the boxes on their respective beats and when found to have been tempered with to at once notify the superintendent of Station D. Not withStanding the vigilance of the po- lice and postal authorities the daring thieves continued to ply their vocation. periodically opening as many as a dozen boxes in one night.
 The fact that they operated in a red cart, to which was attached a gray horse, was discovered about a week ago. A police officer whose beat is on Golden Gate avenue saw the men drive up to letter-box on Steiner street and, alighting from the cart in which they were seated, proceeded to open the box. He attempted to arrest them, but, catching a glimpse of him, they jumped into their cart and drove away.
 Last night the following description of the men was read off to the police men connected with the Central sta- tion:
 No. Fully feet in height. weight about 190 pounds, round face, good-na- tured looking; dark mustache; wore dark sack suit. dark slouch hat and long dark overcoat.
 No. Height about feet inches, very slim; smooth face, very effeminate look ing; wore a dark cutaway suit and der by hat.
 The police are inclined to believe that the short man. was in the vicinity when his confederate was fired at by the policeman Monday night. It is pos sible, they think, that he was tamper- ing with another box near by when the officers discovered his confederate and vainly endeavored to capture him.
 Chief Lees has instructed his men to shoot the thieves if they fail to stop when commanded to do so.

THE MOHICAN IN QUARANTINE Measles Said to Be Epi- demic on the Train
 ing Ship.
Fifteen of the Boys in Blue Came Up on the Steamer.
 Zealandia.
w. Teane Fell Down the Telegraph Hill Precipice and Lives to
 Tell the Tale.

The Oceanic Steamship Company's Zealandia arrived yesterday from Hon. olulu with fifty-four cabin and fifty four steerage passengers. She had a fine weather passage throughout and arrived ahead of time. as she was not expected before midnight in any event. The passengers by the steamer say that the annexation story was a hoax per petrated on one of the reporters of the Hawaiian Star. The reporter asked Port Surveyor Stratmeyer of Honolulu if there was any news and the latter answered: Yes, great news; we are going to hoist the stars and stripes to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The re- porter immediately hied himself to the editorial-room of his paper and made a "top-head story out of the item. Much to his disgust and also to the dis gust of the readers of the paper Old Glory was not raised over the Hawaiian flag the next morning.
 The Zealandia brought up fifteen blue jackets from the United States steamships Baltimore and Bennington. Of these four were prisoners on their way to Mare Island Prison to serve out sentences for assertion. four were in charge of Dr. F. A. Hesler on their way to Mare Island Naval Hospital and seven were on their way home. their time having expired. None of the seven will take advantage of their privilege, but all will continue in the navy until after the war.
 Quite number of the boys on the training-ship Mohican were in the brig when the Zealandia left, while the warship herself was in quarantine, as l-,,, -f -l, aboard. The boys in the brig were not there for any grave offense, but had simply overstayed their leave and were being punished for the breach of discipline. It was their first visit to the tropics and life ashore was so new and strange to them that they stayed longer than they at first intended. In view of the offense and the boys will be reinStated when their term Of inn prisonment is over.
 Sunday morning last Robert Cowes, chief steward of the Zealandia, died at sea. He came from Honolulu to take charge of the stewards department of the Zealandia when she was put in commission and on his arrival here was a very sick man. He was sufficiently recovered, however, to go out on the steamer, and when the Zealandia was here last was feeling first rate again Just prior to the sailing of the vessel from Honolulu Cowes was feeling sick again, but insisted on making the trip He grew gradually worse and in spite of everything that could be done fol him he died at a. m. Sunday. The body was brought to San Francisco where it will be embalmed and sent back to Honolulu on the Zealandia. The deceased leaves a widow and family and large circle of friends in the isl ands Robert Cowes was well known to the travelling public, having served for years in the Pacific Mail Com pany's steamers, and before retiring from the service had been in the Oceanic Steamship Company's Mari posa as chief steward

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message has been discounted
The forecast OF it has been practically
correct.
The offer of armistice which came al
the last moment, is briefly dismissed
with a hope that it may bring the quie-
tude in Cuba, on which this government
now insists.
Otherwise the message stands as here
tofore contemplated in favor of discre-
ton lodged in the President to intervene
at the proper moment by force of arms
Recognition Of independence is not
considered wise by the President, fCI
reasons which he approaches with an ella
borate review hearing on the Cuban
question.
The whole matter, therefore, results III
an offer Of armistice by Spain, opposed
to u purpose of intervention by the
United States.
1t is quite probable that there will be
a strong attempt on the part of the Re-
publicans to sustain the President, and
it is equally probable that this attempt
will prove Intellectual unless early ac'
ton is involved in the result of such at.
