OFFICERS ORDER ARTICLES
OF WAR READ
Men Declare They Will Not Reshlp
Because Of III Treat
|, ment In the
Navy
BY Associated Press.


EAN DIEGO, Feb. THE cruiser
Marblehead, Commander Richard Null
ligan, arrived here today from the
Pichilinque bay coaling station and
Santa Barbara and brings a story of
discomfort among the crew and severe
measures adopted by the officers to
repress 1t.
Although the trouble is said to have
been brewing for some time, 1t did
not become acute until the vessel ar
rived at Pichilinque bay. There the
men openly shrked work and COM
mander Mulligan found it necessary to
read to them the articles of war cover
ing mutiny.
According to the stories told by the
blue ejackets, they have had practically
no shore leave since the cruiser arrived
at San Francisco from Port Angeles
two months ago.
When the Marblehead came to San
Diego three weeks ago, shore leave
here was expected, but again refused
The bluejackets complained, too, be-
cause the commander ordered what
they term "penitentiary hair cut,
because they did not have enough fresh
vegetables and because their pay was
ilOl lOTlHCOllllHB Oil pay udyo'
At Pichilinque bay, the sailors say
while nobody refused to coal the ship,
most of them worked so leisurely that
the job took five days instead Of one
and much of the coal with which the
Marblehead was charged was dumped
into the sea instead of into her
bunkers. Offensive notices, it is said
were written on the coal cars.
Punishments Of various sorts were
meted out with liberal hand and when
the vessel arrived at San Diego today
she brought thoroughly exasperated
crew. The greater number of the men
have only three or four months to
serve and they declare that 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 very
closely with each other.
Commander Mulligan tonight flatly
declined to say word about the af-
! fair and the other officers are equally
reticefit,

Disease
Special to the Herald.

BOSTON. Mass, Feb. Jack Hav-
lin the old-time featherweight boxer,

disease.
Havlin, who was 4S years old, was
one of the gamest fighters who ever
entered a ring and when in condition

He made his first appearance at the
old West End club, where he fought
Dexter Kelly six rounds to a draw.
His next opponent was Marcellus

fought six rounds to draw; then he
defeated Jack Williams, an English
featherweight, in six rounds.
In 1887 he met Ike Weir the Belfast
Spider" for skin glove fight at Wick
ford, and the men fought over four
hours, both men being on their feet
when the referee declared it a draw at
sixty-one rounds. In early September
or November, 1888, he fought Tommy
Warren at San Francisco, but was
knocked out in twenty-five rounds.
Other men he fought were Johnny
Farrell, with skin gloves, whom he
knocked out; Tommy Danforth, Weir

COUNTESS REFUSES TO
CONSIDER COMPROMISE
ABSOLUTE DIVORCE is ONLY
sATlsFACTloN
Efforts to Patch UP the Differences in
the casteIlane Family Are Un-
successful and Case viii Pursue
the Ordinary Course
BY Associated Press.


PARIS. Feb. 7.-Strong efforts con-
tinue to be made in behalf of the Cas-
tellane family to bring about the aban-
donment of the divorce suit brought
by the Countess Boni de Castellane,
but up to the present the desired re-
suit has not been achieved. An at
tempt made to obtain the countess as
sent to a judicial separation without
an absolute divorce has also been un-
successful and probably the case will
pursue the ordinary course, coming up
for hearing at no fixed date, but it
is expected it will be heard three weeks
hence.
According to the French law there
is no further necessity for the defend
ant to appear unless the judge decides
that his evidence is essential. The
pronouncement of a decree releases any
contract relating to marriage settle
ment, each party resuming control of
their own property. A divorced woman
may not remarry within ten months
after a judgment, while an appeal
against a decision must be lodged with
in six months.
A report which cannot be confirmed
says that Count Boni has entered a
counter plea, claiming heavy damages.
