HAVOC AMONG wARsHIPs.

occurred among the native craft. but II Is
impossible as yet to ascertain the fun ex-

During the typhoon the gunboats Tweed

were dragging their anchors and the Fire

TO FUMIGATE
ALL FREIGHT
A Quarantine Against
Plague In San
Francisco.

The Federal quarantine station IN Ho-
nolulu has been officially advised from San
Francisco of the presence of the bubonic
plague in that city.
The dIsinfecting plant destined for quar-
antine purposes mere Is expected TO ar
rive on the transport sheridan. As soon
as the plant is IN commission all fre.ghts
from San Francisco will be fumigated up
on their arrival in this port. Other quar-
antine restrictions VIII be enforced and
some of them will undoubtedly affect pas
scngers coming here from the Coast.
on October 9Th and 10th deaths occurred
in San Franclsco's Chinatown from the
plague.
NO doubt is entertained as to the nature
of the disease. Both of the victims were
white men who were in the habit of fire.
quenting the Chinese quarter white
woman, a nurse, also died from the same
cause. having nursed one or both OF the
men who died.
The advices just received have not been
the first concerning the San Francisco
plague. Heretofore il was not deemed
necessary to make these reports public
The health authorities in San Francisco
have been watching cases of plague, or
supposed plague, very carefully. All cases
which have occurred were in the Chinese
district.

Watching Squatters.

Commander Pond of the United States
tug Iroquois, stationed here, is understood
tn have received from the Secretary OF
the Navy an order directing him as COM
mander of che Naval station to make an
annual cruise of the Hawaiian Islands for
the purpose of ascertaining If there were
any squatters on them. 1t is said that no
reference is made to the public lands or to
particular localities, the order being very
brief. Commander Pond has not come to
any definite conclusion as to the real pur-
pose of the order. 1t is believed that the
order applies to the bird islands which are
included geographically in the Hawaiian
Islands and are owned by the t,nite7
States.

MONITOR ARKANSAS.
A Fine War Vessel Launched at
Newport News.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Nov. TO-
The monitor Arkansas was launched
at the shipyard to-day. The event was
very successful. Miss Bobbie Newton
Jones, daughter of Governor Jones, of
Arkansas, christened the monitor as it
started down the ways. In addition to
Governor Jones and party of Arkan-
sans there were present Governor Tyler
of Virginia, a large party of Naval Off
GERS and number of invited guests.
The monitor Arkansas is the first of
type developed by the American
Navy, for not since the days of the
civil war has a single turreted monitor
been constructed. The Arkansas will
have as sister ships the Florida and
the Wyoming, and third which was
To have been the Connecticut, still I'M
named. These are known as harbor
defense monitors and while small, will
have large accommodations for crews
for vessels of their size and also be for
the use and instruction of the naval
militia.
The Arkansas is to cost not more
than $1.5O0.00O complete. The designs
were prepared by chief constructor
Hichborn and provide for a single ball
ance turret of the Hichborn type on
4 he centerline forward with an inclin-
ed top, and made of steel nine inches
/ thick. This turret will contain two of
| the new high power 12-inch breech-
| loading rifles. Beside this armament,
| the Arkansas will carry four four-inch
rapid-fire guns, three six-pounders and
| four one-pounders. A special effort
was made to secure light draft for this
formidable type of vessel, so the Ar
kansas, when complete will draw only
twelve feet six inches of water on a
displacement of 1926 tons, enabling her
TO slip into any harbor open to sea-
going shipping. Eleven inches of steel
armor protects the sides above the
deck for the full length of the vessel
lia inches thick. Twin screwed engines
i. viii drive the monitor at "A maximum
speed of IL knots, amply sufficient fol
! l harbor defense vessel and electricity
will be employed for turret turning
gears, ammunition hoist, ventilatine
apparatus and all the secondary ma.
chinery. All the wood in the vessel i:
fire-proof. Unlike the old type of moni.
tors. the Arkansas will have state
rooms above deck for the officers ant
. crew. but the superstructure has beer
so designed that it will not affect the
. ship should the superstructure be de
: troyed in action, thus retaining thu
virtue of the monitor principle
