Berkeley, Cal, May 22.-The pal
lontologists Of the University Of
California sent to delve into the pot
ter caves in Shasta county have met
with very great success in their re-
searches. The first report from the
exploration party has just reached

has been there many valuable speci
mems were unsarthed, most OF them
In a good state Of preservation. Sew.
enteen OF the species OF animals
found are OF the extinct kind.
The most interesting discoveries
were traces Of prehistoric man. They
consist OF q number OF polished
bones, stone instruments which may
have served early mankindas utensils

TIE court will fund these bonds at
the proper time. The law permits
the appointment by the court OF a
financial agent to make the transfer

pursue that method when the time

fortunately no telegraphic report could
be obtained from that important station

that the telegraphic wires on the adjacent
Florida coast were carried away bv the

to extend the storm warnings as far

til this aerial obstruction in its path is re-

is cleared, and the storm may lose some

PROVIDENCE, r l., Sept. T.-One OF
the most grewsome Of sea tragedies was
told to-day when the schooner w. S.
Fielding reached port from West Indian
waters.
When nearing Port au Prince on her
outward voyage the Fielding ran near a
dark object bobbing over the seas, and,
heading for it. found it to be an over
turned small schooner, with seven men
and a woman clinging to il and striving
with the little strength that was left in
them to hold on to it's slippery bottom.
How they managed to do so is a mira
Gle. The coasting schooner to which they
belonged had struck a rock, had partly
filed and then suddenly turned turtle"
The crew of seventeen persons had all
managed to get upon the bottom of the
overturned craft. There ensued DAYS OF
starvation and thirst, in which nine of
the seventeen died, and then on the fifth
day came the thrilling rescue OF eight
survivors
The Fielding was about twelve miles
distant from the island Of Gonaives when
the boat was sighted. Captain King, who
was in command, took a long survey OF
the object through his binoculars. and
