NO TRACE OF MISSING GOLD.
Mystery of Robbery On Steamer Ala
media Still Unsolved.

San Francisco, June 4.-The mystery
of the disappearance of SIS, 900 from the
specie tank of the steamer Alameda on
her voyage here from Sydney is still
unsolved. The detectives who are work.
ing on the case have come ito the con-
clusion that the treasure was stolen
soon after the steamer started on her
voyage, and think that it lnay possibly
have been taken ashore at Auckland
Purser I. c. Smith is positive that
every one of the thirty boxes that con-
the vessel at Sydney and safely slowed
in the specie tank. Several officers of
the vessel support and verify his state
meIlt.
The missing box was numbered 16,
and there is evidence that it was on
board when the final count of the
boxes was made before the tank was
locked and sealed. 1t is thought by the
detectives that the lock could have
been opened by a duplicate key and the
seal replaced, especially as a cable with
a cloth hanging close to the floor stood
over the specie hatch On the first
night out from Sydney the weather was
rought and most of the passengers re-
tired early.
One of the six sailors who assisted in
carrying the gold aboard the Alameda
deserted the vessel in Honolulu. Not
much credence is placed in the tFeOry
that the box was stolen by being taken
up side alley in the vessel instead of
being deposited in the tank.

them and gradually drifting into the
life of a deep water sailor, he was en-

Captain Allen of Massachusetts ran

brightness, aptness and high-bred face
Captain Aliens daughter taught him
English, and in the course of his sub

eight languages with fluency. Captain

through the good offices of General

developed a remarkable talent for
sketching. and at the end of his term

was recommended by his master to a
wealthy Spaniard named ]. G. Cebrean
of Paris. Senior Cebrean made the
young sailor his protege and sent him
to Munich and later on TO Rome. In the
latter city he studied under Cesare Ma
reni. private painter to the queen Of
Italy. and eventually became a pupil of
the distinguished artist Luigi Amigi.
In 1890 Mancilas was suddenly strick-
en- with paralysis, brought upon him by
overwork and lack of sleep. Senior Ce-
brean saw to il that ne received the
best aid that Europe afforded. but his
right arm was useless forever. This
affection would have vanquiShed a less
determined character, but Mancilas re-
fused to allow il to ruin his career.
With infinite patience he learned to use
his left hand and became proficient as
a Sculptor. 1t was in the following
year that he created the lions at the
base of the famous monument to Dante
erected at Florence at the order of the
Austrian government.
Senior Mancilas has just completed an
admirable portrait bust of Professor
SOule. 1t is speaking likeness and is
executed with a marvellous freshness
and vivacity of touch, the modelling
being done entirely with the left hand.
Those who have met the young sculptor
are enthusiastic over his work and pre-
dict unlimited success for the future.

FITZ HAS A BIRTHDAY.
Was 81 Years Old Yesterday-Train-
ing For Fight.

New York, June 4.-Champion Bob Fitz-
simmons ives 81 years old today. He cele-
brated the event quietly.
FitZsimmons has been training ener-
getically at Bath Beach for some weeks
past, and he is in fine fettle. He will go
into the ring with Jeffries on FRIDAY
next, he says in as good form as he ever
was in his life. He has done a vast
amount of work and has had his old
handlers with him. His methods of train
ing have been exactly those adopted by
him when he fought Corbett, and Martin
Julian says Fitzsmmons is in the best
trim of his life. The champion had a lot
of visitors today, but he kept largely
under cover. FitZsimmons is said to
weigh about 16S pounds at present.
Jeffries' training quarters at Asbury
Park fairly swarmed with visitors today.
the majority of whom were disappointed.
as they did not even catch q glimpse of
him. He did his work today early in the
morning, which was something out of the
ordinary as Jeffries' work since he has
been training at Asbury Park has gen.
orally extended over the entire day. Billy
Delaney has been looking after JeffrieS
at his training quarters, and he and Man
ager Brady are thoroughly satisfied with
the Californians condition. Delaney said
today that JeffrieS had worked himself
down to about 2OS pounds and that he
would be more than fit to meet Fit=-
simmons at the Coney Island club Friday
night.

IT WAS PRMEDITATED.
Miss Emily Crawford's Version of
the Insult to Loubet.

the Insult to Loubet.
Copyright, 1899, by the Associated Press.)
Paris, June At was a premeditated
riot that took place today on the
weighing ground Of the Auteil race
course. The object of the rioters was
to insult President Loubet, and, per
haps, in the heat of faction and fight,
to get rid of him. The state tribune
was invaded by a number of swells.
One of them, Baron Christiani, raised
his cane to strike the president with all
his might. The blow was averted by
General Balloud, and the cane, de-
scending on NJ. Loubet'S hat, crushed
it down, forcing it over his face like
candle eXtinguisher. Nine. Balloud
tainted. Christiani was beaten black
and blue by the gentlemen around the
president, and was carried away by six
policemen, he kicking and plunging and
blood spouting from his nose.
One hundred and thirty asserts were
made in the weighing grounds. Most
of those taken up were society gentle
men.
NJ. Loubet had been forewarned of a
plot to insult and assail him, and in
stead of driving to the races with his
wife he drove with the premier, NJ. Du-
puy, and General Balloud, Nine. Loubet
following him with two ladies in an
other carriage.
The news that Major Marchand had
been sent from Paris annoyed the
crowds, but the common people were
decently behaved all the way to the
race course, and it was only when the
presidential carriage entered the weigh
ing that the row begun.
Comte de Dion gave the signal in
front of the presidential tribune. He
was promptly arrested, but his arrest
served as an excuse to his friends to
cry, Down with Panama." ''Resigni"
Down with traitors, Jews and Drey-
fusitesI"
The windows on the ground floor of
the presidential tribune were broken,
and several ladies in the presidents
party upstairs tainted.
After the first race, NJ. Loubet, pale
and greatly cut up, but firm, retired. a
large body of police and members of
the republican guard had hard work
in protecting him, and the president
finally took his carriage out of the en-
closure by an uncrowded by-way.
Riotous fellows, posted in groups
along the way to the Elysee, kept on
insulting the president.
Nine. Loubet remained to the end of
the races. She burst into tears on
learning by telephone that her husband
was safe back in the palace.
A stormy sitting is expected tomor-
row in the chamber of deputies.

their opportunity, evidently vented
their spite upon the president.
The race course committee apologized
to NJ. Loubet, who replied that he
could not think of holding them respon-
sible- He remarked 10 an important
parsonage that he did not intend being
intimidated into resigning.
During the demonstrations NJ. Rocne-
forte, editor of 1ntransigeant, was seen,
and an attempt was made to induce
him to lead the manifestation, but he
discreetly slipped away.
Aristocrats In Prison Cells.
Most of the persons arrested repre-
sent some of the best families IL
France. Comte Christian is held on
a charge of attempting to strike the
president. Comte d'Aubigny Assis IS
charged with wounding Police 1nspec-
tor Grilliere and another policeman.
Among those now in custody are 'MM.
De Clermont Honnerre, De Remuzat,
De Beaumont De Villiers, De Melville,
De Panisse Passy, De Ferry and De
Nun, son of Count de Nun. Several
others scarcely less prominent were az
rested.
At late hour this evening, many in
f1uential persons sought to obtain the
release of these aristocratic prisoners,
but the project of police refused all
such requests and removed. all the
prisoners to cells.
Some of the spectators say that
when NJ. Dupuy called upon the chief
of the municipal police, NJ. Touny, to
interfere and to stop the manifesto
tions, the police acted too hastily and
violently, thus fomenting instead of al
laying the irritation Inspector Grill
liere who was hit in the neck by
loaded cane, was carried away insen-
sibIe and now lies in a dangerous con-
dition.
1t is asserted that the presidents hat
was pressed down over his face by
Christianis stick and that the occu-
pants of the carriage were hit with eggs
while returning to the Elysee.

that no republic could stand until the
people had mastered the principles of
liberty and freedom. AS he said to me
once, he believed that the republic
would come, not only in Spain, but all

His formula for popular government
was:

the loss of the great statesman. For
American institutions and for the
American people CASTELAR, always had

Averced War Once.
Once in his life CASTELAR, was instru-

country and the United States. That
was in 1874 when he was president OF
Spain and minister of foreign affairs.
The ship VirginiuS was taken on the
coast of Cuba while conveying a party
of American filibusterers to the island.
Some of these were summarily executed
by the Spanish authorities. Those of

caused. The newspapers denounced the
outrage. Public speakers clamored for

minister to Spain, was ready to demand
his passports.
In Spain the feeling was scarcely less
intense. The Americans had been
caught in an attempt to aid the Cuban
insurgents. and there was a popular
demand that they should suffer for it.
Every one of Castelar's ministers held
this attitude. but neither clamor nor in
fiuence caused him to lose his head He
promptly disavowed the act of the
Spanish commander and ordered that

"CAMP IDLEWILD" FOR BOYS.
The Jolly Scheme of Mr.. Dick of Bos-
ton Has Carried Through.


Boston Evening Transcript
The Rev. John NJ. Dick, while a pro-
! fessional student in Yale university,
| having for number of years been
much interested in boy life, became i'm
! pressed with the conviction that there
was a demand on the part of well-to-
| do people for a place where their sons
could spend their vacation months and
| be free from the Objectionable influences
of hotel life and the ordinary summer
resort. The average boy, Mr.. Dick
knew. was in love with and in need of
| outdoor life, and he was convinced that
| if a summer camp could be provided,
we'll equipped and properly handled, it
would meet this pressing need. With
these facts in mind. he selected Man
hammock island. in Lake Winnipesaukee,
New Hampshire, and there located
what has since been known as Camp
Idlewild."
From the first the camp met with
success. and during the past eight years
it has steadily grown in favor with
boys and parents. having the interest
and enthusiastic Endorsement of the
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, Ex-Governor
o. Vincent Coffin of Connecticut. Pres
ident Timothy Dwight of Yale, the Rev.
A H. Plumb, D. D., of Boston and
others. AS a result of the interest of
wealthy men an elaborate equipment
has been secured, and each year brings
new gifts, this year the camp being
presented with a beautiful twenty-foot
launch.
To assist him each summer Mr.. Dick
selects popular college men and places
specialists in charge of each depart
ment of camp life. One is in charge of
the athletics, one responsible for the
aquatics. another for the entertain
ments, another for the mountain trips,
another for the tutoring departments,
and so on. The tutoring department is
provided for boys who desire to do
some special studying during the sum-
mer. A resident camp physician is in
charge of the health of the boys and
is responsible for sanitary arrange
ments.
The primary object of the camp is to
provide a pleasant and profitable place
for boys, whose parents can afford to
give them such an outing, to spend
their summer months and at the same
time to teach that it is not necessary
to forget the Sabbath and religious
habits, nor break out of wholesome re-
straint. In camp they live in tents,
fish. row, swim and do all other things
that to a boys mind constitutes camp
ing out" The boys are taught prop
erly to handle themselves while on and
in the water and what 70 do at times
of emergency. Each year a coaching
trip is taken through the White noun
tains, the older boys climbing Mount
Washington. The boys range in age
from 10 to is.
The boys are held responsible for
keeping their tents in order and their
things neat, but they are not required
to do any of the routine work of the
camp. To this end the charges are
made sufficient to cover all such ex-
penses. Camp is open three months,
from June % to Sept. 10. and boys at
tend for one,, two or three months, as
they may elect.

THE PRESIDENTS CALMNEss
Calls Out Praises From the News
papers of Paris.

Paris, June 1.-The papers this morn
ing praise the calmness of President
Loubet throughout the demonstration
against him yesterday. In replying to
the stewards of the Auleil races, the
president remarked:
You are in no way responsible, and
to prove that have no anger with you,
if there were races tomorrow, 1 would
attend them. I am invited to witness
the Grand PriX on Sunday next, and
you may be sure 1 will be present"
On his return to the Elysee, NJ Lou
bet said to those who accompanied him:
"All of my family opposed my be-
coming president and I had no desire
to remain at the Elysee, but now that
it is dangerous to be the chief of state,
my duty is clear, and I will let my
enemies, il 1 have any, be convinced
that 1 shall accomplish my mission to
the end"
OF the $50 persons arrested in con,
nection with the demonstrations, forty
three are still held in custody.
