HOWSION TO SERVE
 IN SCHLEY COURT
Named in Place of Rear Ad- miraI Kimberly, Who is
 in Bad Health

Washington. August 6.-The vacancy in the Schley court of inquiry caused by the inability of Rear Admiral Kimberly to serve on account of i'll health has been filled by the selection of Rear Admiral Henry T. Howison, whose appointment was announced by Assistant Secretary Hackett today At the same time 1t was announced that this appointment would be agreeable to Admiral Schley.
 Rear Admiral Howison is one of the youngest retired officers of his grade, having been retired October 1, 1899, when he reached the age of 65. It Is an inter- esting coincidence that he was in com mand of the cruiser Vandalia at Samoa in Apia harbor while flying the flag of which later went down in the hurricane in Apia harbor, while flying. the flag of Rear Admiral Kimberly, who had suc- ceeded him as senior office on the sta- tion, and who he now succeeds in this court He was in command of the Bos- ton yard during the Spanish war, and later was commander of the South At lantic station.
 He made the famous long distance cruise around Africa in the Chicago, as the last act of his active career arriv- ing In New York the day before Admiral Dewey arrived in the Olympia. It will bfbe remembered that although he out ranked Admiral Sampson, who was in command of the receiving fleet. at that time, he fefrained from assuming com mand, but courteously allowed Admiral Sampson to do the honors on that cele- brated occasion.
 A preliminary list of the witnesses who will be called to appear before the court has been prepared at the Navy Depart ment. Some of these officers are on for eign stations, and will be obliged to leave for home almost immediately in order to arrive In time.
 Admiral Schley has also presented a list of witnesses. some of whom are on foreign stations. and these also will be ordered home. Among the witnesses de- sired by the Admiral Is Lieutenant Rodg- CT Wells who was abord the Brooklyn as member of Commodore Schley's staff throughout the Spanish war.

ROBBERS TUNNEL INTO
 SMELTING WORKS AND
 GET $280,OOO IN GOLD
Plot ngenousy Devised and Thieves Must Have Been Burrow ing Throughthe Earth for Weeks -Watchman Thought
 He Heard Ghosts But Did Not Investigate.

San Francisco, August 6.-The Selby smelting and Lead Company has been robbed of $2s0.oO0 wortt of gold bullion The theft occurred some time last night and was not discovered until this morn ing.
 The thieves tunneled rom outside the building under the vault at the Selby works, which are located on the bay shore about thirty miles from San Fran cisco They got away with nearly twelve hundred pounds of fine gold, worth $20 an ounce, without leaving a trace of their identity. The robbery Is the most successful and remarkable ever accom- plished and was evidently the work of skilled mechanics.
 It Is supposed that when the robbers secured their loot. they loaded 1t into a boat that was waiting and disappeared in the fog that had come over San Fran cisco Bay. In their haste to get away hey left two gold bars, worth nearly s5o,- 900 lying on the bank al the waters edge.
 The police at all tho bay cities were immediately notified of the crime. but all they could discover was a few of the tools that the robbers had used.
 The Selby Smelling and Lead Company Is the largest concern of its kind on the Pacific coast. Ores are sent from all over the western country to be sheltered and refined, and the gold is then turned over to the mint.
 Discovered the Robbery.
 A steamer makes special trips between the smelter and San Francisco, carrying ores and bringing back refined gold. This morning when the workers entered the vault to prepare for the gold for loading on a steamer to go to San Francisco the robbery was discovered. The thieves had taken the precaution of fastening the doors of the vault from the inside that 1t would be difficult to open from the out side in case they were interrupted in their work.
 Probably preparatory engineering ex- tending over several weeks was done before the robbery could be accomplished Close to the walls of the building in which they located a shaft was sunk be- low the foundation. Then a tunnel was run to the vault and holes were bored in the iron floor until an aperture suffi- ciently large to admit d man was made. s- A. A

It was then easy work to pass down the treasure into the tunnel and load 1t into boat. The robbers even took the pre- caution to sprinkle red pepper In the tun- mel in order to make things as uncom- fortable for any one who might attempt to pursue them
 There were four gold bricks in the vault which the robbers footed. Each was ten inches longe, five inches wide and four inches in height. They were all stamped with the weights.
 Official wakes Statement.
 One of the officials of the Selby Smelt- ing Works made the following statement to a representative of the Associated Press regarding the robbery;
 ''The robbers must have succeeded m entering the vault some time between midnight and o'clock in the morning. They entered the vault through a hole about the size of a manhole in boiler, and indications point to the fact that the robbers have been working on the scheme for some time. Over 150 holes were bored into the bottom of the vault, and the workmanship indicates that mechanics or more than usual ability superintended the job. The holes were bored to within hairs breadth of the surface, and when the proper time came the plate was forced up, l1uS BlNiit5 1hS ACoSN-~ to the vault. The plotters first excavateo a hole alongside the building directly In line with the vault.
 Task Was a Long One.
 The work of excavating must nave taken some time, and at the end of each nights work-for the work must have been done at night-a covering of laths, rubber sheeting and sacks was made, the hole being covered with a layer of dirt, thus hiding any sign of what was going on. What became of the excavated dirt we have been unable to find out It must have been removed in sacks. The cover ing we have ascertained was not enough to hold the weight of a man, but the ex- cavation was made so close to the build ing that the men never walked over it.
 Last night one of the watchmen em- ployed about the premises heard noises inside the vault and informed his fellows that the devil or ghosts were inside the vault They laughed at him and made no investigation, and thus the robbers were left unmolested at their work.
 ''The weight of the gold carried out of the vault aggregates 12,000 pounds, and 1t must have taken several trips for one man and several men must have been employed in carrying the metal to the boat. We are assured boat was in waiting for them" a .s

THE SAN FRANCISCO STRIKE
No Material Change I'm Situation-Both
sides Still Firm

San Francisco, July 31.-There were
but few changes in the local labor sit
uation today. Both employers and
strikers are standing firm, and each
side claims confidence in winning with
out drawing on its reserves. No seri-
Gus disturbance of the peace occurred.
The strikers are observing strictly the
injunction to abstain from violence.
The employers hold out no hope for
speedy settlement of the trouble and
say there is nothing in sight but hard
battle.
The drivers for the Pacific Transfer
Company were called out today. This
will have a serious effect on the hand
ling of baggage. The sand teamsters
were also ordered out. This new de-
velopment may put a stop to building
operations throughout the city.
By the best informed students of the
situation it is declared that the outcome
of the contention is mainly dependent
upon the coal supply. Only one large
bunker was in operation this morning
and it is said there is not enought coal
in the city to meet the demand longer
than two weeks.
permission today to number of teams
to haul coal to the lighthouse tender,
so there will be no stoppage of the
lighthouse service. Permission also
has been granted to the charitable in
stitutions and hospitals to receive sup
plies hauled by union teamsters. While
five steamers are being loaded today
the general appearance of the harbor
is one of inactivity.
