Guns Boom and Multltudes See Bat
tleships Enter the Golden Gate.
San Francisco, Cah-Through the
towering rocky portals of the Golden
Gate and into the harbor of the city
Of hundred hills; into a. new San
Francisco, risen from the ruins Of two
years ago, the Atlantic battleship feet
on May 6, steamed in review of null
titude unnumbered. 1t was the same
imposing pageant of immaculate white
ships that sailed from Hampton Roads
nearly five months ago in the wake of
the Presidents flag, but with the splen-
did accomplishment of a record-break-
ing cruise of more than $4,000 miles
and three weeks of wonderful target
work behind it.
The white-anchored, four-starred
blue flag of the secretary of the navy,
flying from the mainmast OF the trim
little gunboat Yorktown, fluttered the
welcome of the navy, while the gov
ernor of California, the mayor Of San
Francisco and the people of hundred
towns and cities voiced the greetings
Of the enthusiastic west.
The city is gay with merry-making
and the long program of entertain
ments planned in honor of the fleet is
under way. Streets and buildings are
illuminated for the first time in the
history Of the new city, many Of the
giant sky-scrapers that have risen upon
the sites of less imposing buildings de-
sroyed being outlined in a fire of cleo
trio bulbs. Official dinners, band con-
certs and a reception and ball at the
Fairmount hotel, with 5000 invited
guests, are features of the first even
ing of the fleets stay.
The fleet threaded its way through
the crowded harbor, past the islands
and ferry lanes and reaching far out
to the Oakland shore, turned at last
when opposite Hunters Point and
pointing back toward Golden Gate to
face the incoming tide steamed into
anchorage formation.
The excursion fleet was kept out of
the warships' pathway by patrol OF
revenue cutters, and all ferry service
was suspended during the parade.
Rear Admiral Evans, commander-in-
chief of the Atlantic fleet and just
now in command of the assembled
ships of both oceans, stood on the af-
ter bridge of the Connecticut as the
famous flagship led the way through
the harbor gate. His active naval
career is to close on Sunday next
when he formally will be relieved from
command. Both because of illness and
the death of favorite gTandchild, Ad-
miral Evans will be unable to partici-
pate in any of the functions planned in
honor of the officers.

Charged with Causing conflagratlon.

Charged with Causing Contiagration.
Boston, Massive alleged tirebugs,
claimed by the state police to be in
part responsible for the spread of the
great fire on Sunday April II, which
wiped out third of Chelsea, have just
been arrested on warrants by state po-
lice officers Silas P. Smith and James
]. Grady and patrolman James H.
O'Neil of the Chelsea police, all three
of whom have been working on the
incendlary theories since the fire.
The men arrested are Jacob Levitt
sky, 23 years old, of 73 Brighton
street, West End, and Abraham VOL
nitz, 80 years old, of 166 Second street.
Chelsea. Both are charged with ar
SON.
Lewitsky conducted rag shop which
was wiped out by the fire at the cor
ner of Elm and Maple streets, and VOL
nitz, it is claimed, was employed by
him. The rag shop of Mr.. Lewltsky
was close to another rag shop where
IL is claimed that fire was discovered
while the firemen were fighting the
original blaze in the plant of the Bos-
ton backing company.
Hardly had the rag shop blaze been
discovered, when, it is alleged, that
the one of Lewitsky was found to be
on fire and the contention of the police
is that the fire in Lewitsky's place had
its inception on the inside.
The evidence which the police have
secured against the men is the result
Of the investigation which has been go
ing on since a few days after the fire,
Both Lewitsky and Wolnitz, according
to the police allegations, were in the
rag shop before the fire there was dis
covered. Both were arrested at their
homes

U. S. s. Gloucester Ready for Use.

Portsmouth, N. H.-The United
States Gloucester, which was recently
turned over to the Massachusetts, naval
militia, was placed in commission
shortly after 8 Monday afternoon. A

to be taken aboard. Before she sails
her crew will be augmented by another
detachment of the naval militia.

To Repay Contributors.

Washington.-Senator Lodge has re-

eign relations an amendment which
is intended to enable the secretary of
state to return to the contributors

contributors and look to Turkey for
reimbursement. The action Of the
foreign relations committee supports
this view.
