located in Dial's Bay and that they were
surrounded. Sheriff Bradham lmm ediate-
". after the funeral OF Mr. Tobias, was call
ed up and asked for instructions; replying,
he told them to capture the men at all haz-
ards and then he sent right off to the chain
gang for Mr.. Beauregard Harvln and his
dogs. AS soon as Mr.. Haryin and his dogs
reached here Deputy Gamble and Mr. Pat
Mcleod accompanied Mr. Harvin and they
set out for Dial's bay, and on reaching
there, they found it was q false alarm. The
parties suspected were compile of ne
croes known by some people in salem, who
were over there 10 consult a root doctor,
thev came from Darlington and did not

many false alarms the sheriff IS pestered
with. Nevertheless he has not despalred

HER PEARLY TEETH

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 24.-Mrs. Augusta
Young Of Tiburon, who was acquitted Of
the charge of arson preferred against her
after the sensational flight of her hus-
band, has taken a lesson from the worm
and turned upon her enemies. She feels
the bitterest resentment for Miss Matilda
Lutzone, a cook formerly in the employ
of Mrs. Lynde, and this resentment has
crystallized In a warrant being sworn out
for the arrest of Miss LutZone on a
charge of perjury.
Miss Lutzone swore she saw Mrs.
Young carrying coal oil, mattress and
other infammables into the Daily Sup

SECRETARY LONG
REPLIES TO SCHLEY
Practically Accuses the Rear Admiral
of Having Made Misstate-


NEW YORK. Feb. PA Washington
special to the Herald says: Secretary
Long, 1t is understood, has prepared a
statement in answer TO that of Rear Ad-
rniraI Schley which will be sent to the
Senate If asked for by that body. 1t is
believed the Secretary calls attention to
what the department deems misstate-
rnents in the rear admfraPs communica-
ton.
The department is specially aggrieved
over that feature of Schley's defense in
which he asserts that in accordance with
the departments orders of May q he did
go to Santiago and blockade the harber.
and that the Spanish fleet did not leave
without a decisive action.
The officials complain that Rear Adnt-
raj Schley said nothing about his dispatch
that on account of weather. the shortage
of coal and the difficulty of coaling from
a collier he would be compelled to disobey
the orders of the Secretary and go to
Kew West While the authorities admit
that the flying squadron went to San
fiago. they say 1t did not do SO until May
90 forty-eight hours after the receipt
Of the Secretary's orders.
Secretary Long said this afternoon that
no court Of inquiry would be ordered for
the present, and, as the Herald stated this
morning, none would be ordered until af-
ter the adjournment of Congress.

but the wound is not considered serious.
Warden Hale exercises the most rigid
discipline in the jutemill. for it is there
that most of the serious quarrels have
their origin A constant watch is kept
to prevent the men obtaining possession
of a deadly weapon. but Baker had torn
a small pair OF shears-the kind used in
cutting twine-in two and sharpened one
of the blades to razor edge AS soon
al the quarrel became heated he sprang
at Silkins and stabbed him in the cheek.
He was thrown down and disarmed be-
fore he could inflict further injury.
Sflkins' wound was dressed by DR.. Law
Tor. the prison physician, and Baker was
hauled off to the dungeon, where he will
remain in solitary confinement until the
next meeting of the Board of Prison Dr.

IMPROVEMENT PLANS
FOR THE MISSION
PRoPERTY-oWNERS AND MER-

A Neglected Section to Be Brought
Into Municipal Prominence in
the Near Future.

The Mission so called, which embodies
the Eleventh Ward under the consolida-
ton act comprises one-third of the area
of San Francisco, and which pays taxes
upon property heretofore unheard or ex-
cept it be to the Assessor and Tax Col
lector, is not going to remain in its plo-
neer innocence and virgin condition any
longer Within the past few months sew
eraI clubs or organizations have been
formed, consisting of property-owners and
tenants throughout the Mission district,
for the purpose of bringing about a gen
eraI line of improvements all along the
entire Mission district from Twelfth
street to the county line. Enrolled In
these various organizations are the west
of Castro street, Sunnyside, Glen Park,
Ocean View. Mission road and Ffve-Mile
House, Mission Union Improvement Club,
Fairmount Improvement Club. Precita
Valley Improvement Club, Mission League
of Improvement Clubs, and last but not
least, the Mission Merchants League, re-
Gently formed on Valencia street. One
and all of these clubs are organized for
the purpose of advancing the interest OF
the Mission district. Some of the clubs
are for building hospitals. others are for
the requirement. of business streets, 9TH
ers for purchasing vacant lots 10 De con-
verified into public parks and pleasure
grounds while still others are for the
extension of sewers and the grading of

Improvement of the Mission from
Twelfth street to the county line.
The advocates of these general improve
ments picture to their hearers at the va
rious club meetings the splendor and ele-
gance- of the Western Addition as COM
pared with the Mission proper. AT the
time the Western Addition was a bowling
wilderness OF sand dunes and cemeteries
the Mission was a taX-paylng district
From the industry of the property-ownerS
in the Mission district the wild lots of the
Western Addition have been improved
and made profitable to those who own

the attractions of the Western Addition,
while the Mission has been left in its nor

parks no boulevards and very few btu

the entire area of the Eleventh Ward.

ment clubs recently started in this section
of the city.
To acquire the two cemetery lots oppo-
site the Mission High School for a public
park is one of the objects in view. This

ing winter winds. is, in the opinion of the
great majority of the Mission people. an
ideal spot prepared by nature for a botan-
ical garden. Others there are who want
the ''f1atiron' CWest Mission street,
turned into a little park and the old ram
shackle wooden buildings burned down
or removed.
The property-owners and residents of
Sunnyside want a sewer constructed from
their section of. the heights into IslaiS
