NEWARK WILL BE
SENT TO SAMOA
Kautz Gives Notice That He Will
Return With the Cruiser
PHILADELPHIA.

L
WASHINGTON. May 25.-The follow
ing cablegram has been received at the
Navy Department, dated Apia, May 16,
1899, via Auckland:
Secretary of the Navy, Washington:
Badger arrived on May 13. The Phila-
delphia will leave so as to reach San
Francisco about June %. Commission
may desire to return on the Badger.
Admiral Kautz will return TO the
United States with the Philadelphia.
The flagship will be replaced at Apia
by the cruiser Newark. which is as &C
ceptable as the Philadelphia, and hav-
ing been recently renovated is in shape
for long service She started for Apia
about six weeks ago from New York
making her way around South America
She sailed on the 18th inst from Monte
video Uruguay. for Valparaiso. Chile,
and az the latter point will receive her
instructions to put straight across the
Pacific for Apia. The Newark is due
at Valparaiso about the end of this
week, and. taking a few days to coal
should make the passage across the
Pacific by the middle of June.
When the commission sailed from San
Francisco it was not settled whether or
not the Badger was to remain at Apia
awaiting the convenience of the COM
mission. 1t was supposed that the
commission would decide that matter
for themselves; if their mission could
be soon executed then the Badger would
wait. The intimation contained in Ad-
miral KautZs cablegram that the COM
mission may decide to return on the
Badger is therefore construed at the
State Department into an indication
that il expects to make short work of
the adjustment of the Samoan imbrog
lilo. OF course the desire of the COM
mission will be respected by the Navy
Department and instructions will at
cnce be forwarded to Captain Miller of
the Badger to remain at Apia.
The American member of the Samoan
Commission, DR.. Bartlett Trip, did not
make any report by cable to the State
Department to-day and all the depart
ment's information of the movement
of the commission came from the naval
cablegram and the press dispatches.
Respecting the reported approval by
the commission of Admiral Kautz's acts
it can be stated that little doubt was
entertained here that such would be the
result when these acts were examined
dispassiOnately by fair-minded men of
large caliber, just as they received the
approval Of the President and Secretary
Hay after careful consideration.
Admiral Kautzs position as senior
naval officer at Apia will be taken by
Captain Goodrich, the commander of
the cruiser Newark, upon the arrival Of
that vessel at Apia. Captain Goodrich
is highly regarded at the Navy De-
partment.

Salinas Valley in San Luis Obispo is of
a different character from the valley
soil in Monterey County. AT the line,
, or, to be more precise, near the town OF
Bradley, opposite the mouth of San An
tonic Greek, begins an alluvial soil,
| productive and retentive of moisture.
This soil continues down the valley to
the bay, follows the Pajaro River to the
Santa Clara Valley, and continues to
the bay of San Francisco. It is, of
course, richer and more fertile at the
lower end Of the valley, from Salinas
| City to Monterey Bay than at the upper
end of the valley. I do not hear of any
restitution among the farmers of the
lower Salinas plains. "a i
I have prepared a map of the section
I visited. to which I call your atten-
ton in order to understand the mete-
geological conditions. Immediately
west of the Salinas River rises low
chain of hills, about LOO feet in
height, descending which, on the west
side we come to San Antonio Valley,
which is about eighteen miles in length
and six to eight miles in width AT
the head of the valley is a range OF
mountains forming part of the Coast
Range or Santa Lucia Range, prom
inent in which stands the Santa Lu-
cia Mountain. 6,4O0 feet in hight. The
San Antonio Creek rises at the base
of this range, near the Santa Lucia
Mountain, and runs southerly close to
the foothills of the Coast Range and
thence trends easterly and empties into
the Salinas River, near the town OF
Bradley, on the line of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. West of the San An
tonic Creek is a range of hills, beyond
which is the Nocimento River. which
also runs southerly, thence easterly,
and also empties into the Salinas
River, three to four miles south and
east of the mouth of the San Antonio
creek. Here we have q valley with
high Coast range to the west, range
of hills to the south, and a range of
hills to the east, having narrow out
let to the Salinas plains. I obtained
records of the rainfall from I. T. It'd
ball, a weather observer, for the past
sixteen years at Jolon, at the north end
of the valley.
BY comparison of the rainfall at
San Francisco, the rainfall at San
Ardo, a town on the Salinas River
east of San Antonio Valley, and at
1dSO 1NODleS, d lOMn III LIE k1<11lLoo
Valley, thirty miles south of San Ardo,
you will perceive that the rainfall is
less at San Ardo and Paso Robes than
at San Francisco, while the rainfall at
Jolon is in excess of San Ardo and
Paso Robes. This excess is easily &C
counted for. The westerly storm winds,
bearing moisture. come from the ocean
side, and the high Coast Range caus-
| ing the first precipitation of moisture
upon the range, the excess is carried
over into San Antonio Valley and is
met by the high Santa Lucia range,
which compels the second precipita-
ton thence the storm is met by the
low range of hills to the west of the
Salinas River, and. being deprived of
more moisture. the remainder is pre-
cipitated upon the upper Salinas
plains. Hence we have the phenom-
enon of a greater rainfall at Jolon
than at San Ardo.

RoUGHs ON A CAR,
Officer Bailey Settles Two Noisy
Sons of Erin.

There was trouble. fear, and general
confusion on a west-bound ] street
car about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Two lusty sons of the Emerald
Isle, who had imbibed a great deal
Of liquor, boarded the car and began
to celebrate in so loud and boisterous
a manner that the conductor repri-
manded them.
This angered them so that they
swore they could whip everybody in
the car. There We're a number of
women and children in the car, and
they were greatly frightened. where
upon the car was stopped and Officer
Bailey was called to assist in quelling
the disturbance.
He persuaded one of the disturbers
of the peace to leave the car peace
ably, but the other refused and show
ed fight, after which he was speedily
routed by few sturdy blows from

have small tracts of brush land which
afford but meager support My i'm
preston is that for the present their
wants have been relieved What is
needed is an ample supply Immediately
Of feed, frain and may for the stock
which is dying of starvation.
1t Is needless to say that the exag-
gerated reports of restitution among
the farmers of this section of the State
will work serious injury to the credit
of the State among the people Of the
East, and some steps should be taken to
present the truth.
The valley of the Upper Salinas River
bears but small proportion to the re-
nainder of the wheat producing area of
the State, and if wheat culture should
be abandoned in the upper valley it
would but Slightly affect the amount of
wheat raised in the State.
There is a possibility that we may
yet have an abundant fall of rain. The
following table shows certain years
When the precipitation before the 1st of
January was very small, but the sea-
sons rainfall was abundant:
The record-union., 1899-01-02

A table from the Post" of December
l4th, based upon a rainfall statement
by Mr.. M. Manson, clearly shows that
any year of low precipitation was in
variably followed by an abundant rain
fall; in other words. no two years of
low precipitation came together. So
much assurance might warrant the sup
ply of seed given to those in need.
My conclusion is that on the section
named wheat culture will always be, to
the main body of farmers, Improbable;
that the restitution is not as general as
has been represented, and that it is
principally confined to the wage-earn-
ers who are now out of work; that the
immediate necessities of families have
been relieved, but that there is immedi-
| late need of a supply of grain and hay
for stock. E. w. MASLIN.
