German Gunbo.t Panther Retaiiates
for Capture Of German Vessel.

Port nu Prince. Hayti. Sept. 9.-The
German gunboat Panther arrived here
September 9th and received instruc-
tons from the German government to
capture the Firminist gunbont Crete-a-
pierrot. She left Immediately for Con
uiyes, the seat OF the Firminist govern
nent.
The Panther found the Crete-a-Pier-
rot in the harbor OF Gonnivcs ana the
commander OF the German gunboat in-
formed Admiral Killick on the Cretc-a-
Picrrot that he must remove his crew
and surrender his vessel In hve min
utcs.
Admiral Killick asked that this time
he extended to fifteen minutes. This re-
uurst wns granted on the condition
that the arms and ammunition on
board the Cretc-a. Picrrot should be
abandoned when her crew left her.
The crew OF the Crete-a-Picrrot left
thnt vessel amid great disorder. At the
end OF fifteen minutes the Panther sent
"A small boat carrying one officer anu
thirty snilors. who were to take posses
sion OF the Firminist gunboat.
when these men had arrived Mt
point abput twenty yards from the
Cretc-n -Plcrrot. flames were seen TO
break out on board Of her. She had
been fred by her crew before they left
her.
Tho Panther then fired on the Crete
a.PIcrrot until she was completely I'M
mcrsed. Thirty shots, all told, We're
fired.
There is much feeling here against
the Firminlsts. and their cause is con-
sidered to be n bad one. Soldiers are
leaving here to nttnck St Mare. Port
an Prince is calm.

weasel Of $50 tons displacement She
WAS armed with one six-inch disc. one
AZ inch. four 30 inch, two Maxim ma-
chine runs and four Nordenfeldt mn-
chine guns.
Tbe Crete a -Pierrot formerly was In
the service OF the Haytian government
and Admiral lxillick was commander
IN the Hnytien fleet. June 9th OF this
yenr Admiral Killick disembarked
troops from the Crete-a-Pierrot to sup
oort General Firnin. cx-Haytian min
irter mt Paris, and one OF the canui-
dates for the presidency OF the repub-
dc. md after refusing to recognize the
constituted authorities, he threatened
10 lombard Cape Haytlen.
The consular corps protested against
inch notion being taken. but their ef-
Forts failed OF success, for few days
nter the admiral did lombard Cape
Wayt,en. although little damage was
done by the Crete-a- Pierrot's fire. Since
.June 9th the Cretc-a-Pierrot has been
operntIng In the interest Of General
Firmin.
The Hnytien government disavowed
tho action Of Admiral kllllck In bonn

Report of Expert OF Great
Value to the Naval and
Shipping World.
30 PER CENT LIGHTER THAN COAL
Steamship Mariposa Run 3,438 Miles
With Oil Fuel and Refuse only
Filled Two Ash Observation-Disclosures
Engine Force one-Third.

Washington. Sept. 6.-The report OF
Lieutenant Ward Winchell, United
States navy, the expert detailed Dy
tie navy department to observe the
installation and efficiency OF the OIL
fuel system as fitted to the Oceanic
steamship company's steamer Mari
posa. has been received at the navy
department. The report is an inter
esting one and contains matter OF
great value to the shipping and naval
world, giving positive information IN
regard to the evaporative efficiency
of the boilers and setting out some
facts relative to the use OF Oil as
fuel which have been earnestly sought
from the navy department by steam
cnip men and oil producers, as well
as technical papers. Some of these
facts follow:
The Mariposa's gross displacement
was 3,16O tons and her average horse
mower with oil about 2,4S1, giving her
daily average of 354 knots and a
mean speed of 1858 with 27S barrels
of oil per day.
Lighter Than Coal.
This was so per cent less in weight
rhan would be required Of coal, for
one and a half pounds Of oil sufficed
to produce a horsepower. An i'm
oortant advantage in the oil fuel was
the reduction Of the engine force
from 80 TO 20 men. The ship used
| only - of her g furnaces, burning
crude oil in two burners in each fur
mace by means of an air compressor
Of a capacity Of 1000 cubic feet per
minute at so pounds pressure. All OF
the burners we're not used except al
short intervals.
Every precaution was taken to In
sure safety by ventilating the Oh
tanks and otherwise. The entire re
luse. after a run of S,43S miles from
San Francisco to Tahiti, barely filled
two ash buckets, and the flames die
not affect the boilers unfavorably
Difficulties experienced were confined
tn the choking Of strainers. which cal
lie obyiated by duplicating those parts
and in the regulation Of the supply o
oil to feeders. When the air compress
sors needed overhauling in one o.
two instances recourse was had to
steam spray, which wisely had beer
provided.
Men of intelligence Needed.
Lieutenant Winchell says that
fewer men are needed in the fire room
with oil, it is necessary to secure mel
of higher intelligence, with mechani
cal aptitude and nerve, closely t
, watch the furnaces. The essential
arc that there shall be constant al
pressure for atomizing, that provisio
, shall be made to maintain reSula
temperature Of the oil and the oi
strainers be watched steadily. Lier
, tenant Winchell's report conclude
hat the Mariposa's trip was remark
able in many respects, and was nc
T ;nly a tribute to the skill Of the Pt
Z tific coast mechanics. but to the e1
, terprise Of the company which frs
installed the oil burners in lieu c
ccal.
