The heavy booming seemed TO move

that the spanish ships apparently had
gone out OF the harbor. for none was

Al last We received definite news o.

Many Of the improvements of track and

CLAUS sPRECKELs ROBBED.
JeweIry Stolen From His Mansion in
San Fraacisco.

SAN FRANCISCO. Get. S.-The fine res
idenee OF Claus Spreckels, the sugar mag
nate. on Van Ness Avenue. was robbed
last night while the family was at dinner
of jeweiry valued at 5000. The fact that
thieves knew exactly where the jewelry
was kept and made no search IN other
places leads to the theory that the rob
berry was committed by some of the ser
wants. The greatest secrecy was pre-
served about the matter and knowledge
of it did not get out until after midnight.
The robbery was committed on the sec
ond floor and the thief or thieves had
every opportunity to search the bed cham
bers. They proceeded at once 20 steal the
jewels without making a general search
or disturbing other things about the
rooms. Examination OF the residence
showed no entrance had been effected
from outside unless the guilty parties
entered by one of the rear doors and
found an exit by that means again The
police claim that none of he windows in
the mansion had been tampered with and
all wee securely locked.

CRACK SHOTS AMONG POLICE.
Pistol Practice shows the BIueconfs
Very True of Aim.

The remarkable Improvement in the
craftsmanship of the members of the Po-
lice Department has been a matter of
great satisfaction to Major Sylvester,
who has been freely complimented at the
excellent showing made during the recent
round of target practice. Along the entlre
line improved scores were made, White the
number of men in the twenty class mas
about doubled.
The best records we're made by III
vate Samson, of the First precinct, and
w. H. Fuzitt. of the Tenth, who tied each
other with scores of "a. out of a possible
30. Closely following them were Privates

A second series will be shot OF next
week, following which the final contest
between those who have made 20 or over
will take place for the handsome gold
medals that are annually presented to the
men by Major Sylvester. There are three
of them. one to the sergeant who makes
the best score, a second to the private of
class l, and a third to the secord-class
private who scores the highest.
Last year these medals were won by
Sergeant ]. A. Williams, now of No. 3;
Privates Archie Melber, now of No. TO-
and Langley, of No. s. These medals re-
main the personal property of the Off
GERS who win them, unlike the flag, for
which the precincts contest, new set
is presented each year. They are of solid
gold and extremely handsome in design.

Mr. Rayner asked the witness what ex-

Il didn't gay that" answered Lieuten-
| ant Bristol. The Judge advocate protested
| against Mr.. Rayncrs manner Of examin-
| Ing the witness and the question was
| changed to 81 request for n statement of
! the experience OF the Witness In meas
urnE distances. He said he had, as watch
officer four years experience with the
| geNtant and five years experience with
| the stadmeter. and had come 10 the con-
| cuaion that the Eextant was more accu-
rate and for that reason he had checked
stadimctcr distances by the Sextant on
the morning of the battle.
To Mr.. Rayner's request to give the dis
tancc between the Brooklyn and Vzcaya
when the turn was completed, as shown
by the chart. Lieutenant Bristol, after
MIR Rayner had pointed out the Brook
lyn's position at that time. answered that
the distance was 3.400 yards, or nearly
two miles
Then Mr.. Rayner went back to the
Cienfucgos blockade. 81 don't call IT a

What do you call it?' Mr.. Rayner
asked
I'VE were Just lying off the port. Any
thing could have come in and gone out

"Dii they go farther east than Aqua

Yes" with greater emphasis.
Mr. Hanna objected to the practice of

statements Of other witnesses to show
| that they disagreed with him, and Mr.,
! Rayner responded with reference to Mr..
! Hanna as my learned and solemn
| friend and withdrew question relating
blockading ships did not go as far on
| either side of the harbor as Lieutenant
Bristol had estimated.

MORE CARS RUN IN SCRANTON
The Company bringing in Men From
New York.

SCRANTON. Pa, Oct. S.-Over forty
cars were placed in service by the rail-
way company today, and indications
point to a victory for the management
Early yesterday about a dozen imported
men arrived over the Lackawanna from
New York. The total number of men now
working is over $50.
Today the imported men appeared on
the cars attired in handsome new uni
forms, thus indicating that the company
means business. A great many more
passengers We're carried. Tomorrow sew
eral more ears will be added, and runs
not yet attempted will be arranged.
Manager Silliman has stated that this
will continue until the regular service is
returned to.
The strikers are doing little and saying
less, evidently realizing that it rests with
the public whether they win or lose.
