THE CHINESE NAVY.
Armament of Vessels Which Com
pose Her Small but Efficient Fleet.

pose htT but
At the time of writing the Shanghai
fleet consists of obsolete ships, utterly
useless for fighting purposes, but the
northern squadron has been built up
again by the purchase of modern ships
In Europe, says the London Mail. This
fleet now consists of three cruisers,
which have been built in Germany, of
5000 tons each, carrying two 6 inch
and eight Al inch guns, and capable of
steamlng 20 knots; four destroyers of
modern type, also built In Germany,
and two large cruisers, which have
been built at Newcastle-on-Tyne and
have only lately reached Chinese wa
ters. These two are sister ships and
are the largest vessels which the Chi
nese have ever possessed. Their arma-
ment consists of two inch and ten AT
inch, all quick firing guns, the 8 inch
having fast electric trains gear, be
sides MaXims.
The speed attained on the trial was
over "a knots both for the Hai-Tien
and the Hai-Chi, as the ships are nam
ed, each of which has a displacement
of 4,300 tons. 1t Is evident, therefore,
that China has at present a small but
certainly an efficient fleet, If only 1t is
properly handled. This Is not likely
to be the case, as there Is not an Off
Ger of the Chinese navy who is capable
of commanding man-of-war and
fighting her, and even We're such an
officer to exist 1t is doubtful whether
he would be placed in n position of re-
sponsibillty, as the eternal system Of
Squeeze" which prevails from the
highest to the lowest in China, means
that commands and official positions Of
every description are obtained by those
who have the most influence, or, in
other words, who are In the position to
offer the greatest bribe, and when once
command is obtained 1t Is used as a
means of making money, by only en-
ploying half the number of men for
whom rations are drawn and variety
OF other means.
Admiral Lang has undoubtedly left
his mark on the Chinese navy. While
he was In charge the standard of drill,
gunnery and generally discipline was
very high one, and it will take some
time for this to wear off, but wear off
1t will, unless more European officers
are introduced.
1t Is characteristic of the Chinese
that the naval depot should be at
Taku. The dockyards, such as they
are, are situated close to the mouth
of the Pei-Ho; but there Is no
dock there capable of dealing with any
Of the fleet mentioned, and the ap-
proaches are SO shallow that the ships
have to anchor eight miles from the
entrance to the river, quite out of sight
of land. There the fleet has lain for
some considerable time, and there 1t
will probably remain. Occasionally
single ships go for short cruise round
the gulf of Pe-chi-li, but the feet has
not yet been taken to sea.

Monterey, Mexico, July 30.-The gov
ernment authorities have been notified of
n terrible catastrophe at Matebuala, n
thriving mining camp south of Monterey,
in the state of San Luis Potosi. Fire
broke out in the La Paz mine, and be
fore the miners could reach the surface
many of them were entombed and either
burned to death or suffocated. The fire
ragged fercely for several hours. Eleven
bodies have been taken out, and others
are known to be In the pit. 1t is thought
the loss of life will reach 80. There is
great excitement in the mining town,
and the number of missing men cannot
be accurately determined. When the
fire was discovered, Ramon Gomez, the
foreman, boldly descended the shaft and
went into the burning chamber for the
purpose of aiding the unfortunate min
ers. He was overcome by smoke and
perished. His body has been recovered.

The people We're passive, unenthusiastic
and not even interested. Failing to per-
ccive any tangible, effective results of
amnesty, they say they can see no rea
sons for celebrating. Judge Taft and
his colleagues of the commission felt
constrained to decline to attend the ban
quet, as they had been informed that the
speeches would favor independence un-
der American protection, and they could
not passively lend their acquiescence by
being present.
Patcrno, foreseeing suspension of the
banquet without the Americans, appealed
to them to attend, promising that there
should be no speeches. The provost's
precautions were extreme. The guards

been premature and unfortunate.

A FATAL CIGARETTE.
Thrown Into Sack of Powder Causes
Terrible Accident,

Springfield. Ills, July 30.-Ten per-
sons were injured, two fatally. by the
premature discharge of the evening gun
at the Illinois national guard encamp-
ment, Camp Lincoln, last evening.
The accident occurred in the presence
of a large crowd of visitors to the camp.
Corporal Balsley and Jesse Rupert,
acting quartermaster, were loading the
gun, assisted by several men of Bat
terry A. n sack of powder was placed
in the mouth of the cannon, and Rupert
was about to drive the charge home.
The powder sack was too large for the
gun, and in forcing it into the cannon
the canvas was torn, and some of the
powder fell to the ground just below the
nozzle of the cannon.
Private RUPERT stood facing the gun,
ramrod in hand. Balsley also faced the
gun, and number of soldiers and civil
ians were gathered around despite the
commands to keep back. Suddenly some
one said, Watch them scatter" There
was flash of powder on the ground.
The flame was communicated to the pow
der which was being forced into the can
non, and the gun was discharged, the
ramrod being broken and shot from the
cannon. Balsley and Rupert had their
clothes blown from their bodies, which
were backened by powder. Others stag
Eered back. burned and blinded.
Several persons say they saw n small
boy throw a cigarette into the powder on
the grounds

HUGE MARRIAGE AGENCY.
Queensland's Tempting Offers to
Young English Women.

While the British housewife Is be-
wailing the ever increasing scarcity of
generals" and house and parlor maids
the Queensland government agents in
the country are shipping young women
to their colony In thousands, says the
London Mail. Some idea of the extent
to which the demand for single women
in Queensland is being supplied from
the country districts of England may
be gathered from the fact that the 9TH
er day alone 215 healthy young domes-
tic servants were dispatched to the
Brisbane hiring depot by the colony's
agents, and, with farm laborers, their
wives and families, the total shipment
for the day comprised 430 persons.
For the readiness to quit England
for the new life in the sunny south
several reasons are assigned, not the
least interesting of which Is the pros
pect Of marriage with the well to do
selector who raises coffee, cotton, to-
bacco or sugar on his outback holding
1t Is the common belief of the intend
Ing emigrant-and the notion is care
fully fostered by the hustling agent
that once In Cooktown, Mackay Bow
