Cities Startled by Temblors of

Special Dispatch to The Call.

There is, perhaps, a problem for
the scientists in the remarkable CO.
incidence attending reported volcanic
disturbances of titanic magnitude on
the island of Hawaii and the series
of temblors that have shaken the
whole California coast south of the
Tehachapi and as far inland as the
Colorado River during the past two
days. Biologists are agreed that the
California coast, geologically speak
ing, is a new country. The Hawaiian
Islands are, in the same sense, like
wise new. Whether there is a sub
terranean and fiery connection under
the sea between the coast and the
islands is question of grave impor-
tance, but one that is to the lay mind,
of course, unanswerable.

Il expect her to recover rapidly" said
he.

to his Office, where he found that many
matters requiring his attention had accu-
mulated during his absence. on this ac-
count he denied himself to the general
public. He saw Secretary Long, however,
during the morning about some depart
mental matters.
When asked about the question of ad-

more. Besides little could be accomplish

lie was In conference for a time with
Secretary Alger respecting the best meth
cd OF carrying out Gen. OTIS desire to
maintain at least throughout the rainy
season an effective fighting force of not
less than 10000 men in the islands.
In the generals last estimate, which was
received yesterday. 1t is noted that he
asks for an 'effective" force of 10000
men. The last estimate will oblige the
war department to secure more troops.
Gen. Otis sick report and his casualty
list make II evident that provision must
be made at once to supply the shortage
of about 10 per cent. In his force.
The officials are taking into eonsidera-
tion the assurance of the medical au-

made whereby the men can be allowed TO

them a furlough to return 10 the United

least four months, for more than half Of

hemp, this will greatly increase the reve-

Gen. Otis to take this action. Delegations

the cessation Of business was bringing
much suffering to peaceful inhabitants
Gunboats will protect the shipping in

DREYFUs' ARRIVAL DELAYED.
Authorities Refuse to Give InfOrma-
tiOn TO Newspapers.


Brest, June 2S.-The delay in the arrival
here of the French cruiser Sfax, which
left the waters of French Guiana June 10
with Capt. Alfred Dreyfus on board, in
creases the interest in the landing of the
famous prisoner.
All sorts of reports and suppositions
are current. For the moment attention
is concentrated on the putting to sea this
afternoon of a little house relief steamer.
Such vessels usually start in the morn
ing and return in the evening, conse-
quently the departure of the steamer this
afternoon has given rise to the conjecture
that she has gone to meet the SfaX and
that Dreyfus viii be transferred ON board
of her.
The authorities continue refusing to fur
nish the slightest information regarding
Dreyfus to the army of newspaper men
OF all nadonalities now gathered here,
anXiously seeking news of the Sfax.
In the meanwhile the effervescence of
yesterday evening has quite evaporated,
and this evening the inhabitants are
calmly promenading the principal square,
listening to the marine band.

He declared he would labor to eXtrcate

A similar discussion took place In the
Senate, where Senor Silvela defended the
government and repudiated any idea of
there being a dictator. He said he had a
horror of all relationships. The govern
ment, however, would make the essen
tlals of the budget a question of conf
dence. although notifications would be
