OCCUPANTS THOUGHT TO HAVE
BEEN CHLOROFORMED.
Daring Thieves Ransack the House

in Cash.

About o'clock this morning the res
idence of G.. Dietz. the jeweler, In Lili-
ha street, was entered by a burglar. or
burglars, and thoroughly ransacked in
a search for booty. A gold watch and
chain, and $10.75 in coin, are missing.
Mr.. Dietz believes that himself and
his daughter. who was in another room,
were chloroformed while the burglary
was being committed, for the reason
that matches were struck in every
room by the marauders without wax
ing the occupants.
When he woke up this morning Mr.
Dietz found his pants, vest and coat
spread out on the floor of the kitchen.
The money was gone from the purse
and the watch and chain had been ta-
ken from the vest. pipe and some
other articles of small value were also
not to be found.
In one of the front rooms a cabinet
had been broken open and the top re-
moved from a small iron safe. There
was no money in the safe. Other draw
ers were opened and their contents
turned. From the extent of the search
through the rooms the burglars evil

house and were in no particular fear

Partly burned match IS We're upon

large wooden, American article, some.

THE OREGON COALING.

The Oregon is taking on coal today
by means of lighters from the govern
ment coal piles ashore. The arrival
of the Scinda is delayed so long that
the coal aboard the Oregon is getting
lower than Captain Barker deemed II
prudent to have it, For in case a
storm should come up, he wanted
plenty of coal aboard to enable him to
ride out the storm, if obliged to leave
his anchorage, no matter how long the
storm might last.
Accordingly the work of coaling be-
gan this morning. Two lighters have
been sent out. One carried 40 tons the
other so tons

ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED.
Corporal Abbott, Regulars, Fell From
Deck of the Senator.

There was an accidental death on the
voyage of the transport Senator from
San Francisco to Honolulu. At 8
o'clock on the evening of February 1st,
Corporal Abbott, Company b, Twenti-
eth Infantry, fell overheard and was
lost. He was a native of Kentucky.
1t was the evening of the day the
Senator set sail. A rough sea was run
ming and the transport plunged and
lurched fearfully. Abbott became sea-
sick and lost his balance against the
railing just as the vessel swayed to
that side, and went overheard.
A sergeant was close enough to grasp
one of his feet, but could not hold on.
The vessel was stopped as quickly as
possible. Life buoys were thrown out,
boats lowered, a search made, but no
trace of the man could be found any
where.
Abbott was a fine fellow and a great
favorite with his companions. His loss
was much regretted in the regiment.
He was through the Cuban campaign
and proved himself worthy of his two
stripes.

Terrill said he came back because
all the racing men were out here now
and there was nothing doing in east.
His best performance while away,
and what stamped him as the equal if
not the superior of many of the eastern
cracks, was his defeat of Jay Eaton,
commonly called the Indoor king" in
two straight heats of a mile match in
New York on an indoor track, so that
he practically defeated the king" at
his own game.
TerriI travelled with Fournier and
his gasoline tricycle. for a while, pac-
ing match races. He will ride out here
if there is a chance for him. He is in
splendid condition.

WAS IN NO DANGER.
The Ohio Ran No Risk of Going on
the Reef.

Captain w. j. Boggs of the transport
Ohio says his ship was never either in
any risk or in any danger when COM
ing into port yesterday. He came
astern of the Oregon because he saw
what he supposed was the pilot boat,
in tow of a launch.
He was hailed by the officers of the
Oregon, who inquired if he had seen
anything of the Rio or had mail on
board for them.
When he saw that the boat in tow
was not the pilot boat he backed his
vessel into position near the Oregon,
and waited for the pilot boat which he
then saw coming. He was never near
err than 200 yards of the reef, knew it
was there, had his vessel under perfect
control, and was in no danger. Wheth-
er those on the Oregon thought he was
in danger or not, or hailed him, or
whether the pilot thought he was, he
does not know. Nothing was said to
him on the subject and if they hailed
him he did not hear them.
