From present indications the cruiser
Charleston will be ready for sea early
on Saturday. Her stores are going
on board and the supply of ammunition
for Dewey's fleet Is being rushed into
her magazine. The Charleston will
not wait for the City Of Peking, but,
as a stop will be made Mt Honolulu fol
coal. it is more than probable that the
Pacific liner will overtake her there.

proceed In consort. Aside from car
rying ammunition and supplies to Ad-
mral Dewey. the Charleston win prove
n valuable adjunct to his squadron.

A dispatch from Victoria. b. c., says
startling discovery has just been
made on the shores OF Lynn canal b,

boat bearing the name of the unfor-

aster occurred The boat contained
a couple of coats two miners bags fun
of clothing and few provisions while
n few feet away were the embers Of
camp fire. All this tends to show that
at least one man escaped the fate OF
the lost fifty, and should he be found
alive the details of the tragedy will
cease to be mystery.
