VESSELS COLLIDED.
Cruiser Chicago Smashed Into the
Bennington.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
San Francisco, CAL, August H.
The cruiser Chicago, flagship of the
Pacific squadron, flying the flag of
Admiral Goodrich TODAY went, aground
and later collided with the Bennington
close to the light house and fog sig
nal station on Angel Island in San
Francisco harbor, on arriving from
San Diego with the disabled gunboat
Bennington in tow and accompanied
by the naval tug Fortune.
A strong ebb tide was running, and
in the current the tow line on which
the Bennington was trailing, parted.
Before Roadway could be stopped. the
Chicago ran on the beach. The Ben
ningtons momentum carried the gum
boat in close to the stern OF the
stranded vessel before the anchors
took hold.
The tug Fortune soon got a line to
the Chicago and dragged the cruiser
clear of the bottom but when the
Chicago came off it took sheer
straight for the anchored Bennington.
The current of the tide carried the
Chicago across the bow of the an
chored vessel and there was smash
ing of metal when the ships came to-
gether. Then the two vessels, afoul
of each other, went drifting on the
tide. Both were considerably damaged.

FLOWERS AND TOMATOES.
Malicious Work Done i'm Front of tho
John w. Brown Coffin House.

Mr.. John w. Browns flower bed
and vegetable garden in front of his
coffin house have been devastated and
ruined by some malicious person. Yes
terday morning on his arrival he found
the flowers pulled UP and thrown
about, while across the street lay the
two fine tomato plants, lately his
pride.
And he is not alone in his regret
at the deed. The two tomato plants
had friends, and each day Mr.. William
BOylan, Of the Interstate Telephone
Company, and Mr.. Thomas l. Jones,
the superintendent of the Life Insur-
ance Company of Virginia, resident
here would stop and work with these.
In fact Mr.. Brown had named one
plant Boylan, the other Jones. The
Boylan plant had tomatoes on it,
while the Jones plant Jagged behind,
the latter's friend declaring it was
too much in the shade. Now three
gentlemen are sad for the party who
in the night did malicious injury has
deprived them of much pleasure in
watching the growth of their tomato
plants, besides running a beautiful
flower bed

that during the conference the Japa-

manifested a sort of desire to couple

interest waiting for their adversaries
to press them, but without showing
their hands. Mr.. Sato is quoted as
saying that the Japanese will tomor-

If that is the case the Japanese may
have decided to openly propose joint
