NAVY DEPARTMENT ON THE ALERT
An Inspection of the Russian Vessel
Shows That She Is Badly in
Need of Fixing.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 13-In-
specton of the Lena's boilers was made
this morning under the direction of
Collector of the Port Stratton ON re-
celpt OF the inspectors report the col
iector forwarded it to Washington and
postponed further action until he hears
from his superiors. The nature of the
report is not divuIged but it will un-
doubtedly result in an extension of
time us requested by the Lena's COM
mander The collector also sent a long
in answer to queries regarding the in
cident from that department. The
question of the part the collector may
take in the matter is a topic of much
discussion in government circles. The
navy department seems to have taken
the matter in hand without consider
ing the collector of the treasury or the
commerce departments. and the inn
preston is that it will carry the matter
to the end independently The claim
is made that the navy is entirely re-
sponsible for the behavior of the Rus
sian vessel while i'll port and for that
reason is keeping an extremely close
watch on the visitor. All during the
night Il patrol was maintained, but
nothing untoWard occurred. AS soon
&c cd to ha
10 make repairs arrives the vessel will
be hauled on to the dryiock at the
Union Iron works and work will be
pushed with all vigor under a close
watch by naval officials. In anticipa- .
ton of this order preparations for COM
mencing work without a moments de-
lay are being made at the shipyards.
Excitement in the Japanese quarter
over the Lena is growing intense. At
all the meeting places the Warship is
the sole topic of conversation. The
more radical are indulging in rabid ut
teranceS The police are keeping IL
close watch having heard that Jap
arese had offered to swim to the Lena
with explosives and blow tAe vessel up.
All day several hundred Japanese
watched the warship from the wharves.
Application was made to Collector
Stratton this morning by an electric
firm for permission to go aboard the
Lena to repair her electric plant. Per-
mission was refused.
