THE INDIANA'S WHEREABOUTS
Transport Sailed From Manila With
out Touching Mt Nagasaki.

good deal of apprehension, evidenced
by number of earnest inquiries received
at the War Department, is apparent among
those interested in the troops aboard the
transport Indiana, which is on her way
from Manila to San Francisco, owing to the
fact that her arrival at Nagasaki has not
been reported. The majority of the trans
ports coming home from the east have put
in at Nagasaki, but it is stated at the War
Department that the Indiana was ordered
to come direct from Manila to San Fran
cisco, and thus no uneasiness on this score
need be felt. The Indiana, carrying the
29th, 30th and SD companies Of Coast ArtiI-
lery. and the 1st and Sth Field Batteries
left Manila on June %, and is expected to
arrive at San Francisco in about ten days.

LAUNCHINGG THE MAINE.
Navy Department Informed of Selec'
tiOn of the Date.

Word comes from Cramps shipyard at
Philadelphia that the battle ship Maine
will be launched at that yard on the 25th
instant. Unforeseen circumstances may de-
lay that event, but it is stated that the
launch will certainly take place within
week from the date named. The Maine has
been under construction since February ID
1899, and the contract called for its COM
pletion on the 1st of June last. Owing to
delays in the delivery of armor plate re-
sulting from the controversy in Congress
over the question of cost, it was found to
be impossible to complete the vessel within
the contract limit and an extension Of time
was recently granted. According to the
last official report the battle ship IS now
slightly more than 81 per cent completed.
So far as known the question as to who
shall christen the Maine is still undeter-
mined, although the impression is strong
that that ceremony will be performed by
some young lady of the pine cree state. to

not the slightest possibility of an ice famine

make the trip with comfort and unat;end-
ed by danger. DR.. Rixey will remain at

Canton but his work will not be as ex-
acting there as here. The bother about
small matters will be less. +

VIII Make Searching Investiration.

Assistant Secretary Allies said today that
the Treasury Department proposes to make
a most searching examination of the short
age of 10000 in the mint at San Francisco
The money has disappeared within the last
three months, Mr.. Allies said. George E
Roberts, the director of the mint is on the
ground and will personally conduct the
most searching examination. A secret SER
vice officer will be assigned on the case
A telegram has been received at the mint
bureau from Director Roberts, who is in
San Francisco, confirming the report of the
disappearance of government funds from
the mint in that city. He says the cashier
of that mint is $4,000 short, but gives no
particulars of his investigation and VEN
lures no surmise as to the cause of the
shortage. As Mr.. Roberts is on the
ground, the mint officials here decline to
speculate as to what course may be pur-
sued for the protection of the government.

Shortage of $4,000 in Gold Has

SOME EMPLOYE IS GUILTY

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4-Concerning
the report that a shortage has been discov-
cred in the San Francisco branch mint the
Chronicle today says:
Six bags of gold each containing s. 900 In
$O gold pieces, have disappeared from the
mint, and no trace of the thief has been
discovered, although Superintendent Leach
and his force. assisted by Director of the
Mint Roberts and his staff of experts have
been at work on the mystery since June -.
The annual count of the coin, amountin~
to s250oO,Oo0, began last Friday. On Satu.
day six bags were found to be missing from
the cashiers vault. AS the cashiers books
tailed with those of the other departments.
the officials We're forced to the conclusion
that somebody acquainted with the inside
affairs of the mint had taken the money.
Director Roberts Statement
Director of the Mint Roberts of Washing
ton, d. c.. made the following statement:
We have been very reluctant to conclude
that shortage exists. We have fought
against the belief that there is anything
wrong, but after three days work in check
ing calculations and going over the count
we nave stu to face the situation of S}ooo0
less In coin than the books call for
Ihere appears to be escape from the
conclusion that some one EMPLOYED in the
mint is falthleSS to his trust. There is a
pGSSlbhlty OF an oVerpayment to q deposit
tor 1t is improbable. however that so
large an overpayment could be made
Both superintendent Leach and Director
Dlmmlck declared that suspicion could not
point to Cashier Cole, since his books were
in perfect condition and called for the
amount missing.

 That's so.e' exclaimed voice. "You'ye becn tried, old man, haven't 1ou-and convicted, too, you know?"
 After due inquiry it appeared that the veteran had been, indeed, indicted for horse stealing and convicted. He was not elected.
