teams was a sight to witness.
Th* march was beaded by the First In
fantry, U. S. A., who came on In beautiful
style, moving as one man. w ith a steadiness
that at once commended Itself to notice.
They were formed In two battalions of four
companies each. Next came the United
States marine*, almost equally solid in
aspect, and then the Naval Battalion.
The First Infantry. U. S. A., after pass
ing the review stand, formed fours right
and proceeded directly toward the Russell
ranch, at the northeast angle of the parade
ground, where they presently disappeared
among the trees. They were the lending
regiment of the flank attack of the Third
Brigade.
The remaining regiments of this brigade,
all composed of National Guardsmen, fol
lowed with a good steady swing, and in 15
minutes the last man had disappeared in
thnsaOM direction as the regulars.
Now came on the Second Brigade under
General Dickinson, who nad been entrusted
with the defense of Tripe Hill. The men
followed the same general direction a** the
flanking form, but on arriving at tlie Rus
sell House made a sharp turn to the left
and ascended the right slope of the hill.
Scores of men slipped and rolled over as
they' made their way over the dry grass
which was almost as slippery as polished
marble. Arrived at the crest. General Dick
inson promptly sant forward a skirmish
line 200 strong to the picket fence, and post
ing his reserve on the other side of tne
slope calmly awaited developments.
The view over ttie parade ground from
the elevated position occupied by The

Far away were the hills of Monterey

still nearer the spire of Holy Cross Church

At 5:40 o'clock r. m. two guns from the

had been begun in earnest Simultaneously
the first troop of cavalry made a rapid ad
vance on the left front of General Dickin

promptly ipened fire.
The cavalry retreated and there was a

regiment to hold the Invaders in check bnt
by this time General sheehan was also
moving in the front. The advance was ex
tremely brisk and vigorously supported by
the artillery.
As the leading regiment of Sheehan's line
on the left came well within range the re
serves of Dickinson on the hilltop opened
a lively fusillade, and Sheehan brought uo
bis left line of shirmishcrs, so that lbe entire
width of the parade grounds was covered by
a long linn of men, now kneeling, now mak
ing a rapid ruih. and always covering the
front with volleys that mast have proved
very destructive to the line behind the
picket fence.
The advance had become so successful
and the flank attack had now been so fully
developed that the hill was evidently no
longer tenable, and as Dickinson's skirmish
ers scrambled in retreat up the slipu-rv
hillside their assailants charged them with
a cheer and the contest was over.
Every old soldier on the ground agreed
that for a mock battle the tiling was realis
tic in the highest degree and Governor
Markham. who was among the most en
thusiastic of the spectators, said it only too
forcibly reminded him of the days of 1864.
Colonel English, who was in the Army of
Northern Virginia and served all through
the Civil War, --aid Slieehan's attack was
splendidly carried out and that the boys
were composed D the stuff that soldiers are
made of. He added that had tlio battio
been in earnest the bill would hare become
a graveyard lor the defending force.
General Dickinson's men were loudly
cheered by their late assailants as they
marched back to their tents.
Tne review and sham fight lasted about
two hours.
The Casualties were two In number, a
lieutenant in the Sixth Regiment, who was
somewhat severely hurt by a fail in the up

SORROWS OF A SAILOR.
The Naval Reserve Weathers a Stormy
Sight in a Bathhouse.
On Board the Charleston (off Santa
Cruz), Aug. 13.— A1l traces of the postponed
laoguiuary naval engagement here have
been wiped out except tbe great ragged
boles torn in the waters of the bay this
morning by the broadsides of solid shot
and shell the Naval Battalion fired from
(he Charleston's batteries In target prac
tice. The target escaped without a scratch.
Had the practice occurred during a heavy
shower they might have ruined a few of
the raindrops. However, the fact that the
target is still Intact does away with any
possibility of jealousies arising among the
amateur marksmen. Bo it may be that
everything happened for the bust, and they
alt enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that
Ui"V came close.
But the war— this cruel war— ls over, and
we'll all drink stone blind when Johnny
comes limping home.
To-uight the natives of Santa Cruz and
adjacent points can go to bed without fear
of further bombardment. At eventide the
battalion returned to the shin with called
toes and shoulder-blades after the grand in

in defense of the flag they lo\e so well.
With all the roar and tumult of battle,
the crash of gam directed at the defense
less target dam on the horizon, and tiio
gleam of naked steel, but few casualties
were reported and no fatalities whatever.
The most serious accident was tbat which
befell a inenilier of Company C. While in
the thick of action friday he stepped la a
spt'.b x on the deck and wrenched his ankle.
Then there were a few thumbs abraded by
being stepped on while their owners were
feoltng around the deck for fighting para
phernalia during general quarters. None
of these wounds were reported to the sur
geon.
At a late hour Friday night It was decided
to abandon the idea of bombarding Santa
Cruz. Not that the citizens had anything
to fear, for even if the ships did succeed in
I ndinz a shell In th" town the streets are
so crooked that the piojeetlie would get lost
before it could do any damage. The main
reason for not shelling tie town was that
it is not fort. even with supposititious
defenses and on this account Admiral
Irwin did not care to compromise his repu
tation as a deep-sea fixhter by discharging
volleys of large explosives in the defense
less air. For this reason target practice in the
opDosite direction wasdeclded upon, but be
fore g ing into the details of this exercise
It will be necessary, gentle reader, to go
back a few hours.
After the Governor and staff had In
spected the battalion Friday evening the
sailors experienced a surprise that took on
many of the chief characteristics of a shock.

dently expected to pass the night on board

spinning yarns In the forecastle in the even
ing, ever and anon shifting their quid, after
the manner of mariners in the story-books.
Then, when it was time to pipe down, they
would turn into those snowy hamnircks in
which the sailor boy is popularly supoosed
to be seethed to sleep while the good shin
rook* and rolls a lullaby to her berthdeck
babes.
But no dream sacks were hung up to the
books for the young men of the reserve.
Iliey were towed to the beach, where they
camped down for the night on the silvery
deck of a dismantled bathhouse. It was a
tough prospect fur a sailor inured to tho use
of pillow-shams, with frills on the edge, to
Pillow nis weary head ou his elbow, but it
was the best he could do.
Few murmurs were heard, however, until
high tide, when the eld waves slapped
against the floor and squirted through tho
cracks, disturbing the slumbering seamen.
Then some of them arose and straggled
away into the night to ponder and thing of
home, tailoring is all right nboardship
in fair weather, but braving the billows In
the darkness of night nnd a leaky bath
house Is not, in the language of the poet,
just what it is cracked up to bo.
While the sailors were preparing to bunk
down the Charleston turned her search
lights on the bathhouse, greatly facilitating
this operation. The search-light drill was
then gone through with to show the natives
how essy it is lor a modern man-of-war to
pieice lhe darkness. Some Idea of the
power and brilliancy of theso lights may be
obtained from the fact that while they wero
playing on a house throe miles from the
Wharf a young woman found her wad of
gum sticking to the -back of the bureau,
oho had been pursuing a relentless search
for that same wad ever since the encamp

with grog and went wandering through
dark alleys all night howling "Ship ahoy V

not been raised in the bobtail cars and the
marines had to walk about two miles up a

On Board the Charleston (Off
Santa Cruz), Aug. 13.— Target practice
was set for 8 o'clock this morning,
but long before that hour the bat
talion had assembled on the wharf. While
waiting for tho boats they put ln the time
watching an Italian coroner in a pair of tall
gum boots holding autopsies on a large
table covered with sea bass. A deputy
coroner, armed with a' curry-comb, rasped
the scales off the fish as a preliminary to the
operation. The Invariable result of the
verdict was that the deceased fish came to
its death by some hook or crook.
The steam cutter finally put off for the
ship with seven whnleboats in tow. lato
these the battalion was loaded and headed
for the »hip. Even at that early hour th.i
air was oppressively hot. The sea was per-
fectly sraocth, and as the long procession of
boats went trailing out they linked like a
string of huge sausage* floating in an ocean
of fat. When the men had been put aboard
the steam wbaleboat came off for -Governor
Markiiam and his staff, who had expressed
a desire to witness the target practice.
On the occasion Ike staff consisted of but
two ofllcers--Major McLaughlin and
Colonel Chadbourue — and therefore less
Imposing than the display of the previous
evening. Then a stuff of 12 officers in full
dress marched tbree abreast down
the lor wharf, presenting a solid frout of
crimson and gold that quite outrivaled the
gorgeous raliance of an autumn sunset.
Hut this was a different occasion. The
Governor had already met the admiral and
less formality hnd gilded pomp was re
quired on both sides.
. On tbe way out to the ship Major Mc-
Laughlin incidentally dropped ln a few re
marks indicating that ha was slightly fa
tigued, particularly in his top hamper, and
felt some doubt as to the advisability of
trusting himself to the motion of the bil
lows. His arduous duties on the staff neces
sitated his taking patt with a corkscrew in
an all-ni?ht executive session and Ins weari
ness occasioned him much alarm, In cast
ing about for some method of re
lieving himself of that tired feeling
the major said tie had half a notion to hang

hours earlier. The target consisted of a
canvas sail, with a builseye, set on a wood
en triangle.
As tbe vessel moved slowly it took some
time to get in range, ami the visitors iters
givwri an opportunity to observe Bli lie, the
ship' -- ! goat, at luncheon. lit- started In with
an oakum salad witbout dressing, then de
valued a whisk broom whi.-h he had pur
loined from an able seaman's ditty-bag,
gnawed a few mouthfuls of rod paint off a
hitch comliing. and topped off with a bun
dle of oil-soaked cleaning rags wbicb he
found under a gun.
After his met! Billle stretched out to
sleep off the effects. The diet ot a free
booter goat is slightly different from that of
his brother who roams at will in alley?, as
can be seen by the menu. liillie is quite
popular and the seamen ait; earnestly solici
tons for his welfare. Whenever he scram
bes upon the rail be Is carefully lifted
down aud placed gently ou deck by the
sailors. It is not alone a fooling of high
regard for the goat that prompts this action.
On thecontrary it is more of a precaution
ary measure. About two months ago Ulllle
swallowed ■ loaded three-pound shell, and
the doubtful deep-sea dainty has not been
assimilated yet.
About tbo time word was given to train
the guns ou the target, an incident hap
pened that upset the plans for a time. The
big cruiser suddenly took the bit in her
tenth and became unmanageable. In other
words, a bolt slipped loose and jammed the
hydraulic steering gear. There was no
alternative but to put back to her anchor
age, which the cruiser did, steering with
the aid of the twin screws.* Nearly an hour
was consumed in making the round trip to
wii. re the anchor was dropped a few hun
dred yards from its former renting place.
A kedge was then placed off the quarter
and tbe ship warped rouud broadside on to
the target.
Three shots were fired from each of the
6-inch guns on the port side at a 2600-yard
range. Company Din charge of Lieuten
ant Turner took the powder division, C
aud Ii manning tbe guns. Experienced
men assisted at the loading, but the bat
talion gunners sighted the pieces and pulled
the lockstrlngs. Tho lary swell was not
adapted to the practice, as too muih time
was consumed in sighting the guns, but the
amateur marksmen did very well.
The proper time to fire is when the muzzle
of the gun reaches the crest of the swell
and rests a moment before descending. As
the ship rested In a slow ground swell she
swung with a pivotal motion, which greatly
bothered the youthful gunners. The loud
reports of the guns nlso bothered them
somewhat, making It an extremely difficult
matter to work the batteries ami plug up
their ears with lingers at th* same time.
Sometimes a marksman comes dangerously
near the target on the second - or third
bound as the shrieking shell rlcochetted
B<<award. First came a roar thai lifted one
off his feet if he wasn't looking; tlieu a long
draw n swish, a plunk and then a smothered
explosion as lbe projectile struck the water.
\\ baa a shot fell near the target a cloud of
spray arose obscuring the object and delud
ing the gunner Into tie belief that be had
hit the builseye.
As ono shot struck near tho target a
show or of large red, ragged lumps MM up
followed later by another cloud of long dark
shred-).* The supposition is that the shell
entered a porpoise, exploded there, ruined
Its interior and then ripped Its hide into por
poise leather shoestrings. Tho best shot
was made by Company II at No. 4 gun.
Lieutenant C. 11. Crocker sighted the piece
and sent the shell within a few yards of the
target.i^HiBBnHBHBBttHNMP4pW
Tho Governor was greatly pleased with
the skill displayed by the reserve and be
fore leaving the ships expressed a desire
for moro noise. Ho requested that one of
the 8-inch guns be fired, and the admiral
ordered the gunners to let off the left-hand
barrel of the gun at a single bird. The re
port was simply deafening from the 104
--pound charge of powder.
'As the echoes died away the Governor
asked the admiral If he had anything on
board that could make a bigger noise: The
admiral replied and said that he might re
quest the engineer to touch off a couple of
the boilers, but the Governor thanked him
and said he guessed he had enjoyed enough
noise for one day. His Excellency then de
parted, stopping on : the way in to pay his

Ik Proposed Berlin International Exhibition Aban
doned-The InOocnce of Yon Caprivi — •
guiar Accident to Soldiers.
Copyrighted, 1892, by tlie New Tork Associated
tress.
Berlin, Aug. ia— Emperor William has
decisively squelched the proposed Berlin
International Exhibition by withdrawing
all official support from the scheme on the
advice of Yon Caprivi. In this instance
the Emperor, who personally favored hold
ing the exhibition, bowed before the will of
the majority. Ilerr Furth's resignation is
now credited to his having incurred tbe
Emperor's disfavor by combatting tbe
Schloss lottery scheme.
The Vosalsche Zeltung publishes an arti
cle protesting against the Emperor's sway
ing all the important affairs of state. "The
Ministers slavishly ask," says the article,
"not what is best for the country but what
will please the Emperor, the Ministers hav
ing no other ambition beyond carrying out
the will of the crown. This hardly is en
durable even In an autocratic State."
The article faithfully reflects the feeling
which pervades all classes. Though the en
ergy and good Intentions of the Emperor
are appreciated, discontent with his Impe
rious intermeddling prevails everywhere.
The instability In public affairs, tne con
stant changes, the frequent removals, and
the uncertain i olicy hns aroused a general
longing fir a firm hand and unswerving
method*, even if they are sometimes op
pressive, as under Bismarck.
Satisfactory assurances have already
reached the Foreign Office concerning Glad
stone's foreign policy. He assents to a con
tinuance of Salisbury's policy in Its main
features.
The convention of German horse-butchers
have agreed to open a first-class restaurant
here for the purpose of educating the upper
classes to use borje-flcih as food.
Two hundred soldiers have been engaged
In swimming exercises In tne Nelsse River.

seizing each other, sank and were drowned.
But for the presence of some pontoon-men,
who rescued many who lost their presence
of mind, the loss of life would have been
much greater. -
GOSSIP IX ENGLAND.
Speculation as to Gladstone's New Cabi
net— Fearing the Cholcri.
New York. Aug. —The Tribune's
special cablegram from London esays:
Salisbury returned from Osborne this morn
ing, having handed the seals cf office. to his
reluctant sovereign. Gladstone will follow
him with one visit and probably two, a ne
cessity that fastens pubiic attention some
what discontentedly on the situation. Be
yond the facts that Lord Bosebery will be
Foreign Secretary, Sir William Earcourt
Chancellor of the Exchequer and John
Morley Irish Secretary, nothing is settled
with respect to the formation of the new
Ministry. Even these appointment! do not,
as far as the outside public Is concerned, rest
upon anything more than conjecture. They
are inevitable and the appointments to the
Foreign ofli-ei and to the Irish Office will
meet" with unqualified approval. Even
Chamberlain. In bis bitter speech on Thurs
day night, went out of his way to express
his approval or Rogatory*! probable ap-
ointment. The vniue of tins personal
compliment Is modified by the explanation
that it was satisfactory because on the ques
tion of Egypt Bosebery's views are believed
to he radically ooposed to those of Gladstone
and Morley.
One sufficient reason rhy the rumors
of other appointments boldly current are
unreliable, is that up to yesterday Salis
bury was Premier. Of course, Gladstone
may have his list drawn up, but it is locked
in the innermost recess of his mind. He is
peculiarly and not unjustly accused of a
proneness fur a flow of "language. His
tendency to talk on certain occasions 19,
however, excelled by his severe uncom
municativeuess on other subjects. There
is the best reason for knowing that up to
last night none of his ex-colleagues had re
ceived any direct Intimation of his purpose
in relation to the new Ministry. Even
when these are made known the public will
have to wait and guess until the Queen's
pleasure has been taken.
Next to the appointment of Bosebery the
question that excites a large measure of In
terest in public minds is whether Labou
r-here will receive anything, and if so, hat?
His name is linked with tnat ol Sir William
Hare. In a story about an offense to
Gladstone by backstair machination. What
is really true is that Gladstone, was pro
voked by Labouchere's persistent sugges
tion that home rule should be displaced in
favor of "registration reform," "one man,
one vote" and other planks in the radical
programme. That is not an Insuperable
objection and Gladstone never nurtured any
malice. It is pretty certain that Labou
chero will have an office offered to him,
even of a Cabinet rank. Some gossips say
what Is more uncertain is whether he will
accept.
The possible approach of the cholera
creates very little alarm here, although it is
still heard of In Paris. Some doctors, hav
ing had opportunity to make an inquiry,
declare that It is not the Asiatic cholera
that has frightened the Parisians, butsome
thing far less portentous. The latest re
port from St. Petersburg is that an unmis
takable cast*- of Asiatic cholera there has
resulted fatally. While there is no alarm
in the matter, it is publicly announced here
that th« Local Government Board has
privately issued a word of warning to the
metropolitan authorities. Paris is too near
London, and the stream of communication
too - constant, to permit an incursion of
cholera on the Seiue to be observed with
indifference from the banks of the Thames

Moxtkkai, Aug. 13. — The Dominion

municate anything except to the min

statement would be published on Monday.
It Is stated under reliable authority, how
ever, that the subject of canal tolls consumed

A VENEZUELAN VTCTOHY.
Ths Government Troops Drawn Into Battle
and Boated.
New Yoi:k, Aug. 13.— Herald's Trini
dad special says: Further particulars are
received . here of a bloody and de
cisive \ battle at Ciudaa Bolivar. A
considerable force was sent to attack the
Government troops in tho ititrenctiuieuts.
After a sharp engagement they retired, ap
parently in great disorder.
, Seeing their foe in full retreat, the Gov
ernmental left the shelter of their in
trenchments determined to crush the Le
galists. This was the opportunity for which
Hernandez and Gil were waiting.
No sooner had the Goverumentais got
fairly on to the plains outside of the city
than they were confronted by Legalist re
serves, which outnumbered their forces in
the field, and they were soon hotly engaged.
The Governmental realized that they had
made a mistake in daring battle on the
plains and began to retreat. Then the de
cisive blow of the battle was struck,
The Legalist cavalry, which had
been kent in reserve, was thrown
with tremendous effect on tho already broken
ranks of Goverumentais. The retreat be
came a rout and the**Governmentats were
swept practically out of existence as an or
ganized army. The victorious Legalists
soon entered Bolivar and boledad practi
cally without further opposition.
ADRIFT IN A FOG.

Halifax, X. S. f Aug. 13.— Two weeks
ago while the Gloucester schooner Helen
F. Whitten was at Lahaue bank four men
lett In dories to set the trawls. A fog set

be found. The next day the men decided
to row for land. They pulled all nigh t and
the next day. On the second night, as they
were becoming exhausted, they abmdoued
one dory and retained the one with a sail.
With brief rests they stuck to their oars
until 11 o'clock on Thursday morning, when
the steamer Lunenburg picked them up, 15
miles otf Sambro, and took them to Lunen
burg, bringiug them back here yesterday.
They will be sent to Boston to-day by the

sore from rowing, and their feet are swollen
from wearing rubber boots. They rowed
220 miles, and during that time had but one
biscuit and a little water.

place for meeting the British representa
tive. As for the Hazaras, the Ameer
write?, he ill starve them out this winter.
The Ameer's decision Is held to be tanta
mount to a collapse of the mission. His
altered attitude is due to the prospect of
Gladstone being in power.

Bpeelal to The Hobxixs Call.
Washixgtox, Aug, 13.— The seeming fa.
difference among high officials of the Gov
ernment departments here In' relation to
the matter of the report that Great Britain
has arranged to establish a coaling station
In Pago Pago. Samoa, is the cause of sur
prise to officers of the naval service, to
whom the matter has a very serious aspect.
These latter believe and hope that the re
port Is erroneous, but assuming tbat It may
prove true, they say this course of action
on the part of Great Britain is not, as baa
been stated, in strict accord with existing
treaties, nor is it true that this action does
not interfere with or impair the rights or
interests of the United States.
The published statement that "England,
In preparing to establish a coaling station
in a Samoan barbor, Is merely doing what
she had perfectly clear right to do under
treaty rights." Is criticized. Secretary
Blame elucidated this general subject in
his interesting and important official report
to President Harrison, commenting upon
his amide instructions to Commissioners
John A. Kasson, William Walter Phelps
and George H. Bates, who represented the
United Slates in the International Confer
ence at Berlin.
The Berlin Conference.
As stated by President Harrison, the Ber
lin conference was "in regard to the neutral
ity and autonomous government of the S»
moan Islands," and the "general act or
conventional agreement, concluded and
signed by tho plenipotentiaries, provides
for equal rights In the Samoan Islands of,
the three Governments and their citizens
and subj cts." Secretary Blame laid special
stress unon the preservation of "that abso
lute eauality of consideration which could
alone justify the co-operation of treaty pow
ers, or could protect with adequate security
the commercial Interests of separate powers
which are in i art the motive purpose of any
co-operation, but," said Mr. Blame, "the
United States could not consent to the in
stitution of any form of government in
those islands subject directly or indirectly
to influences whi«:h in the contingencies of
the future might check or control us or the
development of the rmht acquired on the
part of the United States by lawful treaty
to establish a naval station at Pago Pago,
and to control its harbor to that cod."
Engl xiui Not Mentioned.
From the heretofore unpublished reports
of the secret proceedings of the distin
guished Commissioners at Berlin, and
the discussions which took place upon
several questions that were brought be
fore the conference, it will be seen
that in this agreement, whicn has been
ratified by each of the three treaty powers
and which President Harrison has been
pleased to characterize as "an honorable,
just and equal settlement," there was no
mention of the right on the part of Great
Britain to establish a coaling station in the
harbor of Pago Paso.
The exclusive rights of the United States
to occupy as us own for a naval station the
harbor of Pago Pago, and of Germany to
occupy as Its own for naval-station purposes
the harbor of Saluafata were conceded,
1 while it was especially mentioned that Eng
land, though having tbe same ritzht to choose
a harbor for naval purposes, had failed to
make a choice as to a port of her.own. *<;-,-
Immigration Precautions.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding of the
Treasury Department, who has just re
turned from a visit to Europe, visited Lon
don, Antwerp. Rotterdam, Hamburg and
Bremen and obtained much valuable Infor
mation in regard to the immigration ser
vice. He was much pleased with the sys
tem of inspection of immigrants at tbo
ports named, and especially with the pre
cautions taken against the introduction of
contagious or infectious diseases. The
principal trans-Atlantic steamship compa
nies, he said, put all their steerage passen
gers through a thorough cleansing process
before allowing them to go on the vessels.
Not only are the immigrants compelled to
take a bath in the tanks specially provided
for the purpose, but they are 'compelled
to submit their clothing and effects to
thorough disinfection.
Cost of th* Treasure Train.
The exact cost of carrying the big gold
shipment of $20,000,000 across the continent,
from San Francisco to New Yorg, Is not
yet known at the Treasury DepartmouL
but Assistant Treasurer Whelple says that
it will be less than 520.500. lt was hauled
by railroads under their regular contr-cts,
as it came through as registered mail. Tbe
lowest bid that the Treasury Department
could obtain by express for transporting
the money was $3 per SIOOO or $60,000,
This, of course, would have included risk of
loss in transit by accident or theft.
