Trouble Among Sailors on
Cruiser marb|ehead,
comdr. MuAigan Reads Them
the Articles Of War.
Sailors Stories Of Bad Treatment Tally
The Officers Are Silent.

San Diego, Calf, Feb. 8.-Accordins
to certain sailors of the United States
cruiser Marblehead. which arrived
Wednesday, the trouble which has been
brewing for some time aboard the
cruiser became acute when the vessel
arrived at Pichilinque bay several days
ago and the men openly shirked work
and the commander was forced to read
them the articles Of war covering mu-
tiny.
According to the stories told by the
bIuejackets they have had almost no
shore leave since the cruiser arrived at
San Francisco. When the Marbleheai
came to San Diego three weeks ago
shore leave was expected but refused.
Bluejackets complained because the
commander ordered what they termed
a "penitentiary haircut" and because
they did not have enough fresh vege-
tables and be- ause their wages were no,
forthcoming on pay day
At Pichilinque bay the sailors say,
while nobody refused to coal the ship
most Of them worked so leisurcly that
the Job took five days instead of one
and much of the coal was dumped into
the sea instead of into the bunkers.
Offensive notices. it is said, were writ
ten on the coal cars. Punishment of
various sorts was meted out with liber-
al hand and when the vessel arrived at
San Diego she brought y thoroughly ex-
asperated crew. The greater number
OF the men have only three or four
months to serve and they declare they
will not reship.
The story of the trouble on the Mar
blehead is obtained wholly from men,
bers Of the crew but the versions of
the affair given by them tally closely
with each other. Comdr. Mulligan de-
clincd fatty to say a word about the
affair, and the other officers are equal
ly reticent.

Maine Lunhermen Interested in

Maine Asks Congress to Repeat The So
called Pike Law Of 1866.

Fredericton, y. B., Feb. S.-Advices
from Maine points indicate that there

CATION OF the river and To the opera
tions of the lumber drivers.
Under the Ashburton treaty it is held
by many Canadian authorities that the
river must be kept free and clear of
o5structions. This issue was brought
into especial prominence last June.
when men employed by New Bruns-
wick lumber operators destroyed a
BOOM at Van Buren,. Me. = Owned 'hy the
Van Euren Lumber Co 1t is said that
property and numbering rights valued
III millions of dollars will be affected
should new legislation be enacted.
The lumber controversy while not strict
ly one between citizens of the United
states and citizens Of Canada is cf direct
international interest, as the Maine Leg
islature has asked Congress to repeaI tba
so-called Pike law, which was adopted
at Washington in 1866. At that time the
only outlet from the extreme northeast

of the St. John river. The Pike law al

United States.
The construction Of the Bangor &
Aroostook railroad made a new outlet
for lumber and certain Maine interests
now maintain that the Pike law is no

in Maine, where the logs are cut. Should
the law be repealed it would affect thous-
