X7KIAH, Cal., April 21.— A small un
named island off the coast of this county,
opposite Bournes Landing, is now in a
state of eruption. For some time past, it
is reported, flames have been issuing from
the center of the islet.
• J. E. Meridith. who resides in Trinity
County, and who has been traveling along
the northern coast for some weeks, passed
the island Thursday. It was some time
during the early evening, and he was at
tracted by a bright light in the west. The
tiames were so brilliant that he at first
imagined they arose from a burning ship
at sea. On his return south the next day,
however, he discovered smoke curling up
from the island, and on examination found
that it was issuing out of the earth.

A Plucky Cashier Puts a Bold High
wayman to Flight.
r LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 21.— A bold
xobbery was attempted about 11 o'clock
to-night at the power-bouse of the Los
KAngeles Cable Company at the corner of
;. Seventh street and Grand avenue. The
! cashier was busy counting up the day's
."jeceipts, amounting in all to about $500.
KHe was startled at seeing a masked man
peering through the little gate-window
through which the conductors turn in
their fares.
At first he thought it was one of the em
.ployes playing a fiesta joke, but this theory
was soon dispelled. The masked man
pushed a loaded revolver through the
little open window, and then passed
through an empty shot bag. He
ordered the cashier to fill the bag with the
money he had before him.
But the cashier was a man of nerve and
equal to the emergency.
He pretended to take the empty sack as
though responding to the robber's request,
but with one hand ne pulled a loaded re
volver from a drawer and before the thief
realized the situation he was looking down
the muzzle of it. The sight of that revol
ver convinced the robber that he could do
without the coin, and he made a wild dash
for the door. A policeman was promptly
summoned, but he arrived too late to catch
the escaping highwayman.
HOLD-VP AT SACRAMENTO.
Masked Men Hoard a Streetcar and Rob
the Conductor.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., April 21.— Two
masked men boarded a streetcar at
Twentieth and J streets to-night, and with
drawn pistols compelled the conductor
and a passenger to give up what money
they had in their possession. They ob
tained $23 from the conductor and $4 from
the passenger, a man named Devine.
C. E. Catlett, the conductor in charge of
the car, states that when the larger of the
two men stepped on the car he drew a
dark mask down over his face and ordered
him to throw up his hands. Then the
smaller man jumped onto the car, with a
Smith & Wesson revolver in his hand, and
kept pointing it first at the passengers and
then at the conductor, while the tall foot
pad made a thorough search of their
pockets. When they left the car the con
ductor was ordered to move on, and as
b oon as this was done the roobers disap
peared.
As soon as word of the robbery was re
ceived at the police station the patrol
wagon with several officers was dispatched
to the locality, but no trace of the robbers
has been found.

A Sharp Earthquake Shock Felt on the
Island.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., April 21.—
The schooner Arcadia arrived in port from
San Miguel Island Sunday morning. Cap
tain Ellis reports no further changes of
moment in Cuylers Harbor, but states that
a sharp earthquake shock was felt on the
island on the 17th of April. As this shock
was not felt anywhere on the mainland,
this circumstance confirms the theory that
the channel islands are of a geological
formation separate and apart from the
mainland.

HEALDSBURG, Cal., April 21.— At a
meeting held yesterday afternoon in the
Christian Church it was decided to hold
the floral festival and baby show in this
city on May 2, 3 and 4. This decision
was reached owing to the fact that
the flowers of Russian River, Dry Creek
and Alexander Valleys are blooming
earlier than usual this season, and the

CONTEST FOR QUEEN OF THE HEALDSEURG CARNIVAL.
finest display could be secured at that time.
A large number of the residents of
Northern Sonoma were in attendance
when Mrs. J. Lewis, president of the as
sociation, called the meeting to order. Dele
gates from ail the Protestant churches
were in their seats, and perfect harmony
prevailed.
A committee consisting of Rev. Mr. Mes
senger, pastor of the Presbyterian Church,
City Clerk C. H. Pond and Utorney E.
M. Norton was appointed to make final
arrangements as to excursion rates. It is
definitely known that the railway com
pany will give greatly reduced rates to
those who visit the festival, and the com
mittee will visit San Francisco Monday to
confer with the management of the road
in regard to this matter.
The committee of arrangements is com
posed of the following ladies: Baptist
Church — Mesdames R. Powell and J. Lewis ;
M. E. Church, south— Mesdames F. M.
Staton and C. H. Games; M. E. Church—
Mt'sdames J. Peck and W. I. Wilcox;
Christian Church — Mesdames E. Ham
ilton and H. 0. Ferguson ; Presby
terian Church — Mrs. H. C. DcNice
and Miss Georgia Swain. In addition to
these ladies representatives from the
churches of Geyserville, Windsor and
Cloverdale will assist.
The musical part of the festival is in
charge of Mesdames Anita Grant, Lulu
Walker and Miss I. Gully, Messrs. P. J.
Ferguson, A. H. Stanger and Charles Mes
senger, who will have charge of the vocal
music, while the Healdsburg orchestra
and Sotoyome Band will furnish instru
mental selections.
In the matter of decorations a committee
consisting of Mesdames Powell, Peck,
Clack, Games and Slocum were appointed.
They will oversee the work of decorating
the pavilion and also the floats for the
floral parade, which will be held on Thurs
day, the opening day.
The displays will be made in Truitt'g
Opera-house. Prizes will be awarded for
the best exhibits and lively competition is
expected.
On Friday afternoon a baby show will be
had and elegant prizes will be awarded
the finest babies. As Northern Sonoma
excels in this particular line an exhibit
worth seeing is promised.
On Saturday the carnival will close with
the awarding of prizes to the successful
competitors.
Each evening a musical and literary pro
gramme will be rendered at the theater
by the best talent of this section.
The Queen of the festival is to be chosen by
ballot and «ix of Healdsburg's fair daugh
ter? are in the race, which already is highly
exciting. The candidates are the Misses
Carrie Belle Moulton, who leads by a few
votes, Lena Zane, Ethel Amesburg, Zoe
Bates, Florence Denio and May Raymond.
All are very popular and the contest prom
ises to be very exciting.
The friends of Miss Lmnie Denio, an
other Sonoma belle, are also keeping her
name well up in the ranks. She is a charm
ing blonde of pronounced type; her
queenly carriage and fascinating presence
are the desired requisites in the fair lady
who is to be crowned queen of the coming
festival.
Miss Mac Raymond is receiving a vote
that is highly complimentary. This young
lady, who is one of Sonoma's most gifted
elocutionists, is a favorite in the valley.
She has a beautiful face, with perfect com
plexion and delicate features, a mass of
soft brown hair, expressive brown eyes
and a vivacious manner.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 21.— Now

a match for Professor Billy Gallagher, the

tion. The probabilities are that Jack
Fogarty, who is very anxious to meet
Gallagher, will be accommodated. Articles
for such a match will be drawn up to
morrow, and if the terms are agreeable to
both men a meeting will be arranged for
next month.
FIESTA RACES A FAILURE.
Henry Schwartz a Heavy Loter on His

LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 21.— As a
financial venture the iiesta races were a Hat
failure, and Henry Schwartz is at least
15000 poorer on that account. Fortunately
the genial bookmaker from the metropolis
is a wealthy man and a trifle like that is no
object to him. The fact that such racing
as that provided last week failed to attract
a crowd demonstrates that running races
have not yet come into favor here.
THE TACOMA EMBEZZLER.
Receiver Oakes Say Paul Schulze'g Short
age Will Exceed $100,000.
TACOMA, Wash., April 21.— Receiver
Oakes of the Northern Pacific said to
night, before leaving for the East, that the
shortage in the accounts of the late Paul
Schulze would probably exceed $100,000
and may reach $250,000. Mr. Oakes ex
plained the methods of the dead land
agent, saying:
"As payments were made on land con
tracts during the last four or rive years the
money was not always turned over to the
clerks, but was evidently kept by Mr.
Schulze and the holders of the contracts
were given receipts.
"The payments on many of those con
tracts have all been completed, but the
books did not show it. The holders became
impatient for deeds. Their complaints a
few months ago were our first intimation
of the wrong-doing. Before we can know
definitely how large the shortage is we will
have to have returns from every one of the
holders of our land contracts. They will
produce their receipts for payments, and
these will be compared with the books.
„ "The purchaser? Wijlwbt. lose anything.
The entire lo?j>, i^Usd ... .-«i ujm^i the com- ;
pany. * When purchasers [present the evi
dences of their full payments, whether our
books tally with them or not, deeds will be
issued and the contracts taken up." ,
Mr. Oakes said he had positive informa
tion that Schulze has embezzled funds of
the Yakima" Investment Com wany. ,

and James Regent, a carpenter, the former
was shot through the right arm above the
elbow. But for a purse containing a sil

been killed, as a bullet from Regent's
pistol flattened itself on the purse on its

affair was the culmination of bad blood
that has existed for some time.
AFFRAY AT MENLO PARK.
James Fraser Is Stabbed in the
Back by Dominic
Bargetto.
The Non-Payment of a Ten-Dollar
Loan Leads to the Deadly
Assault.
MENLO PARK, Cat,., April 21.-A stab
bing affray, which took place here last
evening, resulted in the death of James
Fraser, a young man in the employ of
Joseph A. Donohoe Jr.
Early in the evening Fraser went to the
residence of J. Leroy Nickel, which adjoins
that of Mr. Donohoe, to spend the evening
with a friend. While there Fraser met
Dominic Bargetto and hot words passed
between the men in a dispute over money
matters. It seems that Fraeer had bor
rowed $10 from Bargetto, and the latter
insisted on its return that evening. The
matter was finally settled by Fraser
promising to pay the money on the Ist of
May.
Young Fraser started to go home toward
midnight and on passing through the gate
to the residence was pounced upon by Bar
getto, who stabbed him in the back. The
weapon used was an ordinary pocketknife,
the blade of which entered just below the
shoulderblade, making a wound two and a
half inches long and an inch and a half
deep. The blade struck a rib in its course,
and this is the only thing that saved the
life of Fraser. While the young man is
quite weak from the loss of blood, his con
dition is not considered dangerous.
Bargetto was arrested early this morning
by Constable Ryan and taken to the
County Jail at Redwood City. He claims
he did the stabbing in self-defense. Both
men bear good rep nations.
Denver Hardware Company Assigns.
DENVER, C0i,0., April 21.— The Denver
Hardware Manufacturing Company has
made an assignment to Alec C. Foster for
the benefit of creditors. Frank N. Briggs,
first vice-president and manager of the
company, stated to-day that the assign
ment was made so that neither the com
pany nor those who held its paper would
suffer.
The inventory taken in February showed
the assets to be $ 123,000, but the schedule
to be filed to-morrow will show less than
1100,000. Mr. Briggs said that the liabili
ties were about $20,000 in accounts and a
trust deed for $50,000, dated the Ist of last
November. The larger share of the stock
is held by Eastern stockholders.

Captain Smith's Story of the
Desperate Fighting in the

AMERICANS WERE THEE ATENED
Two Attempts Made to Burn the
Legation and No Heed Paid to
the Consul's Protests.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., April 21.— The rev
enue cutter Commodore Perry, Captain H.
D. Smith commander, arrived this morn
ing from New York, after a most eventful
voyage.
The Perry left December 20 and touched
at Barbadoes, Bahia and Montevideo on
the east coast. At the latter port the Brit
ish cruiser Wild Swan, now with the
Royal Arthur en route to Corinto, was en
countered and the two vessels left for the
strait together. The Perry outsailed the
Swan, the latter catching up at Sandy
Point.
Terrific weather was encountered in the
Strait of Magellan, but the Perry finally
got throueh and took the inland course up
Smyths Channel. There its coal gave out,
and at one time it looked as though the
vessel would be lost. Fog obscured the
coast and there were only sixteen tons of
coal left. Captain Smith prdered the fires
put out and hove to.
Finally the fog lifted, and the Wild
Swan was seen making its way out of the
channel into the Pacific. The Perry fol
lowed suit and managed to reach Port
Corral, where it arrived with only four
tonß of coal. Replenishing the supply
there, it made Valparaiso, sailed thence to
Callao, where it arrived on March 24.
"We found the country in an uproar,"
said Captain Smith. "The American Con
sul, General Leon Jostremski, came on
board and asked for assistance, saying
there was danger of American lives and
property being destrsyed, and that the
legation at Lima had been almost burned
by the revolutionists. I placed at his dis
posal twenty-five men and a rapid-firing
gun, holding them ready for immediate
work at a signal from the Consul.
"I visited Minister McKenzie at Lima,
and found that city in a deplorable condi
tion. Fifteen hundred men had been
ki.lcd the day before, and the streets and
buildings were filled with the wreck of
battle. The American legation is situated
over the commercial house of Grace & Co.
The firing of the building was supposed to
have been done out of revenue, because
Grace sold two vessels to the Caceres Gov
ernment. The fire had been put out, but
while the Perry was lying at Callao an
other attempt was made to burn the build
ing. McKenzie agreed with Jostremski
that the interests of Americans were en
dangered, and urged me to stay until the
provisional government was more firmly
established. I did so.
"The streets in front of the legation
were barricaded, and on either side had
been placed the guns of the Caceristas and
Monteneros, or revolutionists. The shots
rebounded and went through the walls of
the legation building, and one shot nar
rowly missed Mrs. McKenzie. No atten
tion was paid to the protest of Minister
McKenzie. He could not enforce his de
mands, as the Perry was the only Ameri
can vessel at Callao.
"At Lima were evidences of a fight on
every hand. The streets were littered
with lime to destroy the stench made by
the bodies. Windows were broken, houses
honeycombed with bullets, and many were
burned to the ground, and devastation
and destruction were to be seen everywhere.
The revolution was evidently bloody
enough to suit the sanguinary people of
that country. I went to the Governor's
house, and there in the courtyard were the
bodies of 300 men, slaughtered like rats.
I looked to see a plague break out in the
city.
"When I returned to Callao I learned
that Caceres was a fugitive on board a
French frigate lying beside the Perry.
Every effort was being made by the pro
visional leaders to get hold of him. His
life would have been snuffed out like a can
dle if he had been given up. He applied
to me for asylum, the Perry being the
only vessel in port, but, as I was under or
ders to proceed north I refusedto take him
southward to the ports where he desired to
go. There was much excitement about the
affair and it looked as though Caceres
would be captured by his enemies. He
finally managed to get on board a German
steamer and made his way to Iquique.
"I received letters from Minister McKen
zie and General Jostremski that the revo
lution was concluded and the Provisional
Government established, and accordingly
sailed on March 29, arriving at Acapulco
April 10. There I received orders to pro
ceed speedily to San Francisco to outfit for
the' Bering Sea. We will leave at daybreak
Tuesday morning."

The Cruiser Olympia Soon to JCeturn to
San Francisco^
SAN DIEGO, Cal., April 21.— The
United States steamship Olympia arrived
at about 11 o'clock this morning and an
chored off Hotel del Coronado. She will
remain here four or live days, and then
return to San Francisco.
The officers of the Olympia laugh at the
idea of going south, and state that the
cruiser is not in fighting trim should ehe
be ordered to proceed to Corinto from here.
They also state that the Monterey is bound
to Callao, owing to the recent attempt by
the insurgents there to burn the American
legation. Unless orders are received to
the contrary, the Olympia will not. take on
coal here, but will return to San Francisco
under easy steam.
Satofll in Pennsylvania.
POTTSVILLE, Pa., April 21.-The Cath

out -in large numbers to-day to honor Mgr.
Satolli, who came here to lay the corner
stone of the new school of St. John's Ger
man Catholic Church. Excursion trains
from all points in the county and as far
north as Hazelton were run. The church
was crowded both morning and afternoon.
Pontifical mass was celebrated this morn
ing by Mgr. Satolli, and the cornerstone
was laid in the presence of 6000 people.
CUBA'S REVOLUTION.
Spanish Troops Said to Be Suffering
From. Yellow fever.
NEWJYORK, N.Y., April 21.— The Ward
line steamer Nicaragua arrived this morn
ing from Cienfugos and Santiago, Cuba.
It was learned from one of the passengers
that a very lively state of affairs existed at
the seat of war. The insurgents had a fol
lowing of 10,000 men, 3000 of whom were
well armed. Many encounters have al
ready taken place in which the Govern
ment troops have been worsted. The offi
cials made very light of these engage
ments, the passengers said, and claimed a
victory, wherever they had the slightest
encounter with the insurgents.
The Spanish troops lately arrived from
Spain were said to be in a wretched state,
having suffered greatly from yellow fever
and from fatigue in pursuing small bodies
of the insurgents over the mountains.
WANTS GAME PROTECTED.
A Deputy Sheriff Says Arizona Indians
Are Digregarding L.atcs-
ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex., April 21.—
Deputy Sheriff Tom Drum is circulating a
petition along the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad to the Secretary of the Interior to
suppress Indian wanderers from the reser
vations of Northern Arizona. It is claimed
that the red men are devastating that part
of the country of game in direct violation
of the laws of the Territory and with the
consent of the Indian agent.
One instance is cited where a party of
Navajoes went into the Mogollon Mount
ains last November and remained until
January, killing 376 deer, 117 turkeys and
an untold amount of small game. The
petition further states that when game is
scarce the Indians do not hesitate to ap
propriate ranch cattle.
THREE MURDERS IN UTAH
Bodies Are Found in a Lake
Near Lehi by Parties Who
Were Searching.
The Men Have Been Missing: Since
Early In February and Were
Killed Then.
SALT LAKE, Utah, April 21.— The mys
tery surrounding the disappearance of
three young men who lived in the vicinity
of Utah Lake, near Lehi, Utah, is gradually
being cleared up.
Albert Hayes, Andrew Johnson and Al
fred Neilson, had been living near
Pelican Point for some time, but were
ejected abftut two months ago on a suit
brought by Oliver A. Slade. The men
were missed some time ago, and on Mon
day last the body of Hayes was found near
the lake shore. Death had been caused by
two gunshot wounds. Late yesterday aft
ernoon the bodies of Johnson and Neilson
were found. They were discovered in the
lake, on a wagon and were tied down with
ropes.
The bodies presented a sickening ap
pearance. The murders probably occurred
in February. The murdered men were all
cousins and were running a stock business
on the ranch.
The theory is that the men were mur
dered in the cabin daring the night and
thrown into the lake, as the bodies were
partly undressed when found. The gun
shot wounds appear to have been made
with a 44-caliber rifle.
Suspicion, it is said, points to H. Hares,
the stepfather of one of the murdered men,
and a son of his, who is missing. Other
theories are advanced, but have no motive
to support them.
The country surrounding the ranch is
wild and broken, and has been the scene
of many tragedies between the Indians
and early settlers.
The Coroner's jury examined the bodies
to-day and will continue the investigation
at Lehi to-morrow. The excitement runs
high, especially among ranchmen in the
vicinity of the murders. Some arrests are
expected to-morrow.

Mrs. Parneil May Not Survive.
BORDENTOWN, N. J., April 21.— Mrs.
Parneil teemed brighter this morning, but
as the day advanced she grew weaker. It
is doubtful whether she will survive the
shock of the assault. Nothing has as yet
developed to throw any light upon the
cas6, although the detectives are still at

OWENSBORO, Ky., April 21.—Ex-Con

C/iitral Relieved.
SIMLA, India, April 21.— Major-General
Sir Robert Low, commanding the Chitral
relief force, telegraphed this morning that
Major Doane learned last night that the
Chitral Fort had been relieved. The news
reached Major Doane through a reliable
source and it is expected that the confirma
tion will be received to-morrow. It is not
known whether it was Colonel Kelly's or
General Low's advance column that effected
the relief. Sher Afzul, who at one time was
de facto ruler of Chitral, and whose recent
capture of the capital led to the dispatch of
the British expedition, is said to have ab
sconded.

Reigns.
END OF THE FANFARE.
In the Early Hours of Sunday
the Carnival is Ushered
Out.
REGAL POMP HAS GIVEN WAY.
Queen and Courtiers Depart, and
Reluctantly the Old Regime
Takes Hold.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 21.-Thig
afternoon, one week ago, a rainstorm had
just passed over Los Angeles, and the sun
was half-hidden behind the breaking
clouds. The streets were newly bedecked
in festival colors of wine, orange and olive,
and the people, while properly observing
the Sabbath-day, were still in fancy wel
coming the festival queen who was to come
among them on the morrow. The queen
came, held court so splendid that surely
she must sit in history with that other
splendid Queen of Shpba, the glory of her
short reign being fit material for fables to
build upon and weave their magic by fu
ture firesides, when
Bishop the procession leads,
And generals curb their pranciDg steeds,
While In the sun each gilded spire
Leaps up like those at Itome.
For seven days of bright sunshine that
followed that storm the beautiful queen
sat in splendor, adding circumstance to
pomp, and smiJing a benignant encourage
ment upon the revelry.
And now it is Sunday again. The queen
and her court and all the brave line of gal
lants, the sheen of purple and gold and the
fanfare of trumpets have gone. But for
the withered blossoms that lie in drifts in
Central Park or along the highways, half
burying here and there a broken
mask or cowl, and all the other
worn and torn trappings that stand
as evidences everywhere along the streets,
it would seem already a fable. Even the
sunshine of these seven days is gone, and
clouds have lowered heavily over the city
and a feeling of rain is in the air.
The quiet that was noted as distinguish
ing the Sunday preceding the festival dis
tinguishes also this one that succeeds it,
although the day was ushered in by a crash
and clang and shout that marked the rev
els at their height and did not hush until
the cold gray clonds were lighted in ihe
east to frown it down. It died away slowly
and regretfully, a fitful shout and shrill
whistle even after sun-up marking the half
petulent reluctance with which the most
loyal subjects of the queen gave way. But
their time was up and they knew it, and
but for the occasional clang of the street
car or the rattle of a carriage wheel the
streets have all the afternoon been still.
The sense of loss to-day has taken the
place of that of anticipation a week ago. A
very great part of the crowd has already
gone and the crush is relieved. People sit
listlessly about the hotels or occasionally
walk out into the street to look at and
sadly comment upon the wreckage.
Already the little vari-colored incandes
cent lamps that twinkled like a network
of stars above Spring street have been
taken down. The wires that carried a line
of Chinese lanterns on both sides of the
roadway until they met at the vanishing
point in the distance now swing in the ris
ing wind only the torn and ragged rem
nants. The tri-colored bunting flaps dis
consolately from awning and balcony, al
ready misshapen and twisted out of its de
sign. The flags and streamers droop wear
ily or hang twisted about their staffs or
are tangled about the electric wires. A
clown's cap of last night's revel sits mock
ingly cynical all this Sunday afternoon
above a figure in the busy thoroughfare of
Spring street that but yesterday stood for
beauty.
The merry festival of the City of Angela
is done.

aching and sore and as sleeping poorly.
Often she is troubled with backache, or a
tender spine, with a bearing -down
weight in the abdomen, or at periods
she may be irregular, or suffer extreme
pain from functional derangements.
Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In-
stitute, of Buffalo, N. V., in his experi-
ence, met many cases of this kind, for
which he used a prescription which
cured permanently in ninety -eight per
cent, .of i all cases. . Having proven so
successful, Dr. Pierce put his ' Favorite
Prescription " on the market, and it is
to-day sold more largely than any other
medicine for the ills of woman.
- For all functional derangements, dis-
placements, ulceration, inflammation,
and the catarrhal drain from the lining
membranes of the special internal organs
of women, . Dr. Pierces Favorite Pre-
scription reaches the .origin of the
trouble, and corrects it.
