Alleged Insult at Jamestown
Puts United States
TdrS on War
Path.
TROUBLE EXPECTED
WHEN CREWS MEET
Japanese Commander Seeks to
Avoid Difficulty and Both He
and Admiral Stockton Have
Issued Stringent Orders
to M e n.

Brest July 23.-The Japanese
squadron is expected to reach port
tonight. The delay in its arrival Is
generally attributed to the desire
OF the japanese commander to make
as short as possible the time that
the American and Japanese ships will
be together in the harbor in order to
reduce the chances of any untoward
incident between the sailors.
Sailors from the American cruisers
Washington and Tennessee which are
now here, seem to hold a grudge
against the Japanese on account of q
fancied grievance at Jamestown, and
there has been threatening talk In
the cafes frequented by the American
bluejackets
Rear Admiral Charles e. stockton.
who Is in command of the Ameri-
can vessels, has decided to grant no
shore leaves after the Japanese ves-
sells arrive.
Orders Given to Sailors.
Every possible effort will be made
by the commanders of the two
squadrons to prevent any trouble be-
tween their men, and for that pur-
pose they have been In communica-
tion with each other regarding the
situation. The Japanese commander
has issued a statement to his men,
ordering them to abstain from every
form of trouble, and as few as pos
sible will be permitted to go ashore
while the American vessels are in the
harbor.
The same sort of order has been
given the American sailors, who in
this case, seem to desire trouble, and
Rear Admiral Stockton will see that
any infraction of orders is prom pity
punished severely. In this manner, It
Is believed that trouble will be avoid
| ed.
Want to "Get Even"
The crews of the American vessel
deny that there Is any other reason
! than the alleged insults at jamestown
for their intention to "get even' with
the Japanese sailors, and they insist
that the present discussion over the
possibilities of war with the Japanese
empire does not enter into their
grievances. Their open boasts OF
what they intended to do to the Jap
anese of course became public prop
erty and in that way were communi-
Gated both to the Japanese and
American representatives here, and
by them in turn to the commanders
of the squadrons
Rear Admiral Stockton has been In
receipt of orders from Washington to-
day. bearing on this case, and or
ders are now here for the Japanese
captain awaiting his arrival. These
latter are direct from Toxic, but their
purport is not mentioned publicly.

a private dispatch to The Citizen
this afternoon from Captain George
Curry, New MeXico's new governor
announced the fact that instead OF
going to Washington from Roswell
Governor Curry will proceed to San
t. Fe on next Tuesday and will take
oath of office at the capitol on
Thursday, August /.
He VIII Visit Washington Later.
The new governor informed The
Citizen that he would first take up the
re,ns in the executive office and get
into the work before holding a con-
terence with the president. He will
then proceed 10 Washington and will
spenC several Gays there ana at Oy-
stcr Bay.
one Of the fret things the new
governor VAL probably do, will be to
establish a residence in Santa Fe and
make his home there since he will
have To ST end most of his time in the
Capital city.
Governor Curry has made no plans
az yet. howe, er, but states tFat he
desires to get down to business as
soon as possible. This comes as nc
surprise since it is characteristic OF
him.
A special to The Citizen from San
Ia Fe says that the new governor viii
be consulted as to his wishes about
the inauguration. 1t is desired tt
give MIN Il fOuSlIg Dig TeCepllol anu
To make his inauguration equal tC
that of any governor New Mexico has
ever had
If the new executive does not po-
stively state that he is opposed to a
rather strenuous social end to the
event, he will be the center of elab-
crate inaugural ceremonies although
the time for preparation is short.
Governor Curry met old friends eT
route To Roswell at almost every sta
tion, where his train stopped. He haC
not announced his coming but this
word was passed along and many
were at the train to shake hands with
the soldier-governor
The indications are that Governor
Curry will be most popular with the
people Of New Mexico, regardless OF
politics or political affiliations.
1t is generally believed that he car
come nearer TO settling factiona
quarrels and minor political rows
than any man the president could
have named. In addition, he vii
conduct the affairs Of the executive
office in an honest, fair and impartia
manner.

MANY SURVIVORS HAVE
BEEN LANDED At
FRISCO
The Steamer Pomona Added
Thirty Nine to Number
of Saved.
DEATH LIST STILL
NEAR ONE HUNDRED

San Francisco, Cal, July 23.-The
arrival of the steamship Pomona
from the north is anxiously awaited
today as she is known to have a num-
Der of survivors of the steamer
Columbia on board 1t Is hoped that
as at first reported 1t is known
that of the 1873 passengers on the
Columbia, 81 were saved by the
George w. Elder, which towed the
san Pedro to Eureka. There were
sixty in the crew OF the Columbia and
of these thirty-eight were on the
Elder.
Reports from Shelter Cove an
nounce the arrival of one boat with
fifteen more of the passengers and
crew, leaving the total death roll at
ninety-eight.
Only One Boat Found.
SO far only one boat has arrived
at Shelter Cove. 1t is said that be-
fore the steamer sank, six boats and
three life RATS were launched. These
are yet to be heard from and IL Is ex-
pected that steamers passing up and
down the coast will succeed in pick
ing them up.
That so many escaped is accredit-
ed, strange to say, to the fact that
the boilers exploded when the
steamer was sinking, counteracting
Z
number of people in the water from
being drawn into the vortex.
Not a few passengers on the Co
lumbia were teachers, and their
friends who have been attending the
National Educational association con-
ventiCn at Los Angeles.
Pomona Rescued 80.
Pacific coast steamer Pomona ar
rived in San Francisco from Eureka
this afternoon, bringing from the lat
ter place one surviving passenger of
the wrecked steamer Columbia, Miss
| A. Leidell, Of this city, and thirty
two members of the crew of the Co
| lumbia, who were saved from the
complement of fifty-nine. She
| brought no bodies.
An erroneous report had been cir
culated that the Pomona was bring
| ing a number of the Columbia's pas
sengers, and a throng OF eager men
and women assembled on the deck.
When the gang plank was hoiSted on
the Pomona's deck the people were
restrained with difficulty from climb
ing aboard.
Miss Leldell was too overcome by
her experiences 10 talk to reporter,
and the officers of the Columbia re-

said Captain Swanson of the Pomona,
thirty or more survivors reached
Eureka from Shelter Cove / did not
have an opportunity to learn their
names Many Of the survivors had
been sent north to Portland on the
steamer George w. Elder, which res
cued eighty or ninety men and wo-

TO BUILD BIG LUMBER CARS.
Railroads Preparing to Handle Ship
ments to Far Eastern Trade.

Specially built lumber cars for
transcontinental shipment of lumber
from the Pacific coast have become
a demand on the railroads and the
statement Is made among railroad
men that the Northern Pacific com
pany is having plans prepared for the
manufacture of such cars with the
cooperation of the eastern lumber
men. says a Yakima paper
Large quantities of heavy timber
are carried through North Yakima
daily, destined, much of 1t, for the
eastern states. This growth of the
business by rail for districts east Of
the Rocky mountains has become
such a definite condition that the rail-
roads are forced to consider 1t as a
special branch of their work and cars
capable Of carrying a load twice the
size OF the load carried by the aver
age working car will be built. 1t Is
hoped in this way to lower the freight
rate and extend the market for Pa
cific coast lumber.
It is reported that over 3O,OOO,OOO
feet Of fir timber was shipped from
the Pacific to the city of Pittsburg
last summer for use by the Pressed
Steel Car company in manufacturing
the underframes for the steel cars
which are growing in number on all
