QUARTERMASTER BAKER
TO BE DISCIPLINED
REFUSED TO ALLOW INSPECT
ORS ON THE GRANT.

Quartermaster Baker, commanding the
Government transport Grant. has got into
trouble with the customs authorities for
violating section 306S of the Revised
Statutes of the United States. Customs
Surveyor Spear reported Wednesday TO
Customs Collector Jackson that Baker
had refused to allow the customs search
ers to board the transport last Tuesday
night, and that the Surveyor had been
obliged to take the tug Golden Gate yes
terday forenoon and had placed his men
on board the transport, Notwithstanding
the protest Of Quartermaster Baker.
Section 306S reads as follows:
IF any master of a vessel coming INTO
or having arrived at any port within the
United States, shall obstruCt or hinder,
or shall Intentionally cause any Obstruc-
fully going aboard such vessel for the
purpose of carrying into effect any of
the revenue laws of the United States,
he shall for every such offense be liable
TO penalty OF not more than 500 nor less
than $50
On a previous occasion when the Grant
was in port Quartermaster Baker COM
planned that the customs officers had
turned the ship topsy turveY and that
many articles of value were missing after
they had completed their work of search
ing the vessel for smuggled articles. The
facts on both sides were laid before the
Secretary of the Treasury and he sus-
tained the customs officers and repudiated
the QuartermaSteT' assumption that the
customs men had no right to board a
United States transport

addition to the pecuniary benefit. il has been
a great advertisement throughout the Union Of
our State and city, also creating a good feeling
of the country toward the city.
Another feature OF the celebration was the
stimulus given to its sentiment of patriotism
among all classes Of our people. All nationali-
ties seem to have taken part and extended their
contributions Even our Chinese merchants put
their hands in their pockets and helped swell
our fund by over $500. Our theatrical manag-
ers the Harbor Commissioners and the soldiers
Samaritan. Mrs. Townsend. largely added by
their contributions and assistance
The total number of subscriptions entered on
our cashbook to date is 2697. Many of these
entries are lump sums from a large number of
contributors After a careful examination of
estimates and funds the actual number of in
dividual subscribers amounts to 5000. This will
give your committee some idea Of the scope OF
the work carried out by the executive council
Of the finance committee. Never was any
fund accumulated from so many individual sub
scriptions in the history of the city. The entire
amount raised was given in sums of less than
500 with the exception of about 2C0 subscrip-
tions The above comments do not include the
moneys received from theatrical benefits, con-
certs and naval parade.
Hoping the foregoing general statement of
the finance committee will meet with your ap-
provaf / conclude by stating that the full
amount collected up to date and deposited with
your treasurer. F. W. Dohrmann. is s63 s64 81.

Chaplain Walter C. Isaacs of the United
States battleship Massac achusetts. who par
ticipated in the engagement with Schley' S
flying squadron. wildly portrayed the
battle of Santiago, the greatest of all
naval battles. last night in the Young
Mems Christian Association Auditorium.
The description of the marvellous sea fight
was not only interesting but exceedingly
thrilling. and the attention of large au-
dience was held for over an hour.
In very graphic way Chaplain Isaacs
described the gathering of the war
ships and the search after CerYera.
He recounted several incidents of the
bombardment of Santiago, and stated that
Sailor Taylor Evans was the first TO be-
hold the Cristobal Colon when the Amer
lean battleShips came upon the Spanish
feet. The sinking of the Merrimac and
the closing chapters of the destruction and
capture of the enemys ships was told in
a forceful and eloquent way.
Chaplain Isaacs is of Southern birth
and was appointed by President Cleveland
in 1883. He served during the whole war
and was present during every lombard
ment of Santiago and al the fall of Guam
lea and Ponce. Porto Rico. His ministry
among the seamen has been very success
full. He is popular among officers and
men. and was the inspiration of the crew
as they lay nearest to the mouth of the
harbor on the long thrty-two days
watch.

regiment knew anything about it.
The Rev. Father McKinnon's wounds
were slight, but he received and pore
them like hero and he stayed right IN
the same place till he performed his du-
ties, though bullets whizzed past MIN by
the score.
Lieutenant Charlie Hogan of gallant
Company NJ fell wounded, Father Nc
KinnOn rushed into the thickest OF the
fight unarmed and carried Lieutenant
Hogan TO a place of safety. Father Nc
kinnon did more than this. He knelt pc
side the PROSTATE body of the wounded
lieutenant while bullets flew thicK ana
fast to stop the blood which flowed from
ghastly wound in the breast. While ne
was stocping over Lieutenant Hogan a
bullet plowed its way across the feshey
part of Father McKinnon's hand.
That's pretty close, father said Cor
poral Jack Miller. who was assisting the
chaplain to ease Lieutenant Hogan's suf-
Lift him gently, boys" said Father
Jones as they put their arms around Ho-
gan to carry him TO place of temporary
safety.
Across dangerous stretch of open ter
ritory,, where flying bullets whizzed
through the air, Father McKinnon and
his assistants bore Hogan TO sheltered
spot. When the excitement was over Cap
tain Tom O'Niel of Company NJ advised
Father Mckinnon TO go TO the hospital
that the hospital corps had enough 20 at
tend to to care for the men who were
dangerously wounded. so Father McKin-
non went TO his tent and dressed his own
wound
In the advance on Malate Father Nc
kinnon was shot in the groin. The wound
was very slight and his same reticent
bearing kept him from the hospital and
HIS name from the dread list Of the day s
casualties again. In every battle in which
the California regiment figured Father
MCKinnon was out on the firing line. He
was as brave as a lion and he set an ex-
ample for the men. Every time there was
hot skirmish II was two to one Father
Mckinnop was close on the heels of the
farthest man out All the officers of the
regiment are loud in their praises of
Father Mckinnon.
There was no spot too hot for Father
McKinnon, said Captain ONiel yester-
day in speaking of Father McKinnon' 5
bravery He is honored and respected
by every man in the regiment, regardless
l.of creed.
Wherever there was a spiritual duty
to perform you'd find Father McKinnon
on the spot and little thing like q volley
of Filipino bullets didn't scare him worth
cent. He went right out on the firing
line with the boys and he stayed there
until the fighting was over. That's the
kind of a chaplain the California boys
had in the Philippines"
