Up to Expectations.

Washington. July 2s.-A great deal
OF interest was taken by naval officers
in Washington in the run Of the Kear-
sarge from Portsmouth to Frenchman's
bay. 1t was estimated before the YES
sci left England that, with good wea'
Their she would make the run across
the ocean in ten days. and this predic-
ton has been verified.
Estimating that she travelled about
5000 miles, the speed Of the Kearsarge
would average approximately between
10 ITO and 10 IA knots per hour
While the run the vessel has just made
is not at all remarkable. yet It is very
satisfactory for a heavy battleship
and indicate the engines were in good
condition.

CONNECTS ESCAPE PRISON
FOLSOM, CALIFORNIA. PRISON
MINUS PRISONERS.
There Were 500 in Llne-Thirteen
Broke Away-Eaeh Had Knife
Fought With Guards-Two viii Die
-conviets Change clothes and Es-
eape-Great Excitement.

Folsom. Cal. July 2s.-one OF the
biggest breaks in the history OF the
Folsom prison occurred at Z O'Clock a.
m. The line OF conyicts were marching
out OF the prison to so to work About
800 of them were out when Is OF them
who were in a bunch In the line, made
a break for the guards office. where
Warden Wilkinson. Captain Murphy
and other officers were.
Each Of the desperate men had a
knife made OF a file. They cut at the
men and Warden Wilkinson had mar
row escape, his clothing being cut
through Joe Cochrane, w. l.. Cotter
and c. II. Holly were all cut, the for
mer two so seriously that they will
not live. They then marched to the
armory taking Warden Wilkinson.
Captain Murphy and other guards and
officers all closely guarded by the con
viets with knives. At the armory they
helped themselves to guns and ammu'
milton, each convict having a rifle and
a pistol During this time other guards
had the crowd covered with guns, but
could not shoot because Of the free
men.
After leaving the armory the party
moved across the prison grounds,
there being at that time IS conyicta
and Is free men. After going a short
distance the free men were forced to
disrobe. the convIcts putting on their
clothes and the guards being forced 70
get into the convicts' garhs.
Some OF the free men were then al
lowed to return TO the prison. They
were Warden Wilkinson. Captain Muir
ply. Harry Wilkinson, c. X. jolly and
C. II. Warm. Later L. C. vertrees es
capped from them. The other FRED
men are still with the eonvicts. whC
are now In the woods. about ten miles
above Folsom. They are General Over
seer J. II. McDonough. Guards J. Da
Ian. Thomas Seavy. W. Hopton. W. r
Brown and @. Jeter.
! The convicts bear considerable Il
feeling towards some OF these men
who have been mean to them and I
Is feared that they Will DO murdered
The convicts who made the break ar,
all desperate characters. The breAl
has probably been planned for MANY
months.
