F ilE BALIIMOREISSAIE All Fears Set at Best by Assurances from Captain Schley. - THE NAVY YARDS BUSTLING The Officials Have Been Urged to Put All Vessels in Readiness for Service at Once and the Men Are Working Night and Day. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Secretary Tracy has received a cable dispatch from Captain Schley stating that there were no indica— tions of any hostilities against the Balti- more at Valparaiso. The dispatch was dated N 0v. 8. Hustling at Navy Yards. BROOKLYN, Nov. 10.—Everything spoke hustle and hurry at the Brooklyn navy yard Monday. There was scurrying hither and hither, messengers every other minute came in with dispatches, blue coated ma- rines were marching around, seemingly intent on finding something to do, and a gang of lockers on hung aroundithe main entrance vainly trying to get in. The air was filled with the din of a thou- sand hammers as they drove the .rivets home in the steel sides of the Maine and Cincinnati, the new cruisers now building. Hardly was a plate set in its pggace before the painters were at work, brush in hand. Work was progressing rapidly, but no« where near so as on the vessels now there awaiting sailing orders. These are the Chicago, Atlanta, Concord and Benning- ton. ' - On the Chicago everything was nearly ready. The white sides were as clean and bright as paint and unlimited scrubbing hould make them. The decks were in shipshape order and crowded with sailors and marines. Drill was in progress all the morning. Trim young officers had all the men out in the yard putting them through complicated maneuvers. Round the square the brawny men ran on the double quick, trailing their carbines be- hind them. W’ith the exception of a few _ repairs to the evaporators the Chicago is ready for sea, and men were at work on those. Cruisers Ready for Sea. The Atlanta was in the dry dock. \Vork is progressing on her night and day, and she will be out in two more days. As coaling is only the matter of a day and a night, one of her officers said she would be ready for sea on Friday. Painters were busy on her hull, and on deck another gang was fixing up the damages which the stench cruiser received in the recent blow Off the Delaware breakwater, when sent to the rescue of the wrecked Dispatch. Officers’ trunks were being put aboard. The Bennington is ready for sea. The final stores were shipping and steam was up and pouring forth in‘great white clouds from her escape valves. She can sail on an hour’s notice. The same story was told on board the Concord, then 1,700 ton sister ship of the Atlanta. Everything was in instant readiness. The Jamestown left the navy yard yesterday and passed through Hell Gate. Her destination was not given out. On the new monitor Miantonomah quick work is doing day and night. Men have been taken from the Maine and Cincin- nati to work on her. Her armor is putting on and her turrets mounting. She is as yet unpainted. She will be ready in a month. No Thinking “Hinted. Everything was in a fever of excitement at Commandant Erben’s office. Orderlies were hastening everywhere. One dispatch seemed to create a great stir, and in re- sponse 'to orders the captain of the yard, the chief engineer and the chief ordnance officer hurried to the office. The comman- dant had time to say that no dispatch had been received from IVashington. “As to the Baltimore,” he said, “no news has been received," and the rumor that she has been sunk is utterly ground- less.” Just then an officer came in and said he thought he could have the repairs to a certain gun done by Friday. “'\Vhatl” shouted the commandant, “we can have no thinking here. It must be done by Friday or bust!” Commandant Erben said all the vessels would be ready in a week with the excep- tion of the Miantonomah. Working Night and Day. VALLEJO, Cal, Nov. 10.—-There is great activity in the navy yard here. Machinists are at work on the Mohican day and night. Telegrams have been received in the yard directing the putting of the ves— sels in readiness for sea at once. All the available workmen on the lists have been sent for, and a thousand men will be at work in a few days. There are now six wooden vessels at Mare island, all of which ,could be ready for action within five weeks. Each vessel has one 8-inch converted muzzle load— ing rifle and one Sixty pounder breech loading rifle. The rest of the main bat- tery consists of the 9-inch smooth- bores. Of these the Omaha has ten, the Swatara and Mohican eight, the Adams and the N ipsic six, and the Ranger four. Besides these there is the monitor Co- manche, with two 15-inch smooth- bores, now ready for sea. All the vessels have Hotchkiss revolving cannon as sec- ondary batteries. There are also at the island six 8-inch converted rifles, four sixty pounders, and a large number of 9-inch smoothbores. San Francisco Excited. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.——The fact that the work at the navy yard at Brooklyn and Marc island is being pushed both day and night has created some excitement here. The defenses of San Francisco against an attack from sea are not very good. There is not asingle modern rifle here. The point at the entrance of the Golden Gate has about fifty Sainch muzzle loading rifles, converted from 10-inch smoothbores. On the Alcatraz there are eight or nine more; there are also a large number of 10—inch and 15-inch smooth- bores. It is not believed that these guns could delay an enemy entering the bay for any length of time. Only the extreme western part of the city, where there are few valu- able buildings, could be shelled without coming within close range of these guns. The harbor is well protected by torpedoes, of which there are 6-00 or 700 in position or ready to be placed. There are no auto- mobile torpedoes in the city. ' Standellz: Aiipoiutcd Consul.

The Entire Fabric of tho Empire’s Pri- vate Banking System Shaken. BERLIN, Nov. iO.——Berlin, from one end to the other, and Germany from frontier to frontier, are talking of nothing else but the financial earthquakes which have shaken the entire fabric of the private banking system of the empire in the col- lapses of Hirshfeld &VVOlff,'the fall of Herr Leipziger and the failure and sui- cides of the Sommerl‘elds. ' Siegmun'd Sommerfeld has died from the wounds he inflicted upon himself on Saturday last, at the same time that his son Felix took his own life. The Sommerfelds, in addi- tion to shooting themselves, had opened veins in their arms, and when found were literally bathed in blood. ' The fever of anxiety has in no way been calmed by the latest revelation regarding the failures. The officials charged with ex- amining into the affairs of Herr Joseph Leipziger, who is supposed to have floated a number of spurious drafts for Herr Wolff, of Hirschfeld & W olfl, and to have pawned securities belonging to depositors amounting to 3,500,000 marks, decided to burst open Leipziger’s safe. They did so, and to the astonishment of some, but not to that of others, the safe was found en- tirely empty of valuables. There were a few old books and a number of packages of papers, it is true; otherwise the safe was empty as if a gang of first class bur- glars had gone through it. The general verdict is that the reckless living, wild gambling and other extrava- gances of the president off~the Resource club (Herr Wolff) should have warned his wealthy clients that there was something about his financial methods which needed explanation. There is an international feature in the 'Hirschfeld & Wolff crash which is not lost sight off. That firm were special secret financial agents for the Russian government, and Wolff and his associates are credited, rightly or wrongly, with having done a great deal of “dirty work” for Russia. PERISHED IN THE FLAMES. Four llIen and Thirty Horses IiIeet Death in :1. Burning Stable. DENVER, Nov. 10.—The Mansions livery stables, at Eighteenth and Lawrence streets, were almost completely destroyed by fire. Four men, possibly five, living in the upper part of the building, were suf- focated, and thirty horses met death in the same way. There were several nar- row escapes, as that part of the building over the stables is occupied by lodgers. "When the police and fire department ar- rived a.number of these lodgers were hanging out of the windows, having been almost suffocated by the volumes of smoke inside. The lower part of the building was Oc- cupied by horses and carriages, and the upper part was divided into three compart- ments. One of these was occupied by the lodgers, another was used for storinghay and grain and the third was used to stable horses. The horses that were suffocated were in the upper part of the building. There was a skylight in the rear, and it was there that the fire was first discover- ed, but how it originated no one knows. Attempt to “heck a Train. ATLANTA, Nov. 10.——The outgoing W est« em and Atlantic passenger train was thrown off the track by wreckers. The scene of the accident was in a sharp curve eight miles from the city. The train was mak- ing a speed of twenty-five miles an hour. Engineer Barrett detected something wrong, but before he got the engine re- versed it careened around, standing clear across the track, the tender ran upon and against the engine, while the mail car plowed into the embankment half way over the engine before it stopped. But one man, a tramp, was killed. An inves- tigation shows that at the Spot Where the engine left the track the rail had been taken up, every spike drawn and all piled together about twenty feet from the track. One end of the rail on the other side had been unloosed so as to be laid obliquely across the track. New York After the Conventions. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—The Recorder de- votes a full page in giving reasons and interviews with prominent men of both parties why the two national conventions should be held in this city. It says the Madison Square garden has a seating capacity greater than that of any public hall or auditorium in the United States, seating 12,000 persons, that New York’s hotels will accommodate 70,000 guests, and no increase in rates would be made during convention week. N 0 national convention has been held in New York city since 1868 and The Recorder thinks in view of the ad- vantages this city now offers, that the conventions should now be held here. Paris Green as a. Love Potion. WOBURN, Mass, N ov. 10.——On the charge of attempting to poison her husband Mrs. Mary Halloran was held in $1,000 bail for trial. Mrs. Halloran put some paris green in thefood she served for her hus- band. The latter was made seriously ill. She said that she had merely sprinkled some powder on the food for the purpose of increasing her husband’s affections, but he is of the opinion that the woman want- ed to put him out of the way in order that she might gain possession of some real es- tate owned by him. A Blurderous Lover. COLUSA, Cal., Nov.10.——H. F. Farns— worth, the twenty-year-old son of a wealthy farmer, fatally wounded his in- tended, Miss Emma Neal, and then shot himself, (lying instantly. He was wild and addicted to drink. Meeting the young woman, who was walking with her sister, he asked her to accompany him. When she refused he shot her in the head. He fired a second time but missed, and then put a bullet through his own head. A Scheme That Didn’t Work. NASHVILLE, Nov. 10.-—A leading mer- chant of this city received a letter from Jersey City signed Winnie Davis, asking the immediate loan of a thousand dollars until she could repay it from the receipts of her mother’s book. The letter was in- closed to Miss Davis at Richmond, and a telegraphic answer received on its receipt pronounces it a forgery. A Brakeman Awarded Damages. AUGUSTA, Me, Nov. 10.——San ford Adams, of Monmouth, a former brakeman in the employ of the Maine Central railway, has been awarded $5,895 damages for injuries received in the wreck at Maranacook, N av. 26, 1888. The wreck was caused, it is al- leged, bythe negligence of the company. 'i'hcy Died Together. BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Nov. 10,—A double suicide by drowning occurred in the bar- bor here. Two gwrsous, a man and wom- an, took their or; I‘ lives by jumping from a boat. Who they were and why they committed the rash act has not yet been learned. , Job Printing neatly done at this office". H" \W a i‘NG UP" NIIIL Hill Lt Iii The Brazilian,Situation IS Becom- ing Extremely Critical. THE PROVIIIGES IN REVOLT. Rio Grande Declares Its Independ- ence of Fonseca’s Government, and Other Sections May Follow Its Lead—Rumors of Fighting. LONDON, N or. 10.—-Pernambuco advices state that the Brazilian situation is be- coming critical, and apprehension exists as to the ultimate result of President Da Fonseca’s action in dissolving congress and in assuming the role of dictator, and grave doubts are expressed as to the suc~ cess of this latest political move. The dispatches referred to also state that, in Pernambuoo, there is a feeling of general discontent at his action; but the people have 'not done anything further than to express their disapprobation of the course followed. From the province of Rio Grande, however, comes news of a. more alarming character. It is to the ef- fect that the local government has refused to acquiesce in President Da Fonseca’s assumption of the powers of a dictator, and that the province mentioned has de- clared its independence. Other dispatches state that there is a spirit of great and dangerous discontent through all the provinces of Brazil. Civil \Var May Eusue. Under these circumstances even the warmest friends of the new republic, on this side of the Atlantic, apprehend most serious troubles, possibly a long civil war, before peace is restored to Brazil. The opposing parties there, it is well known, have been looking forward to and prepar- ing for a struggle for some time past,_and the revolution (it isjbut little, if anything less than a revolution), which has just taken place has not found the prominent leaders or their followers unprepared. Already there are rumors afloat that other provinces are coutcm,i iting follow- ing the example of Rio Gr. fide, and that in the near future there may be a number of separate warring Brazilian states on this continent. Rio Grande, or Rio Grande do Sul (also called Sao Pedro), has an area of over 110,000 square miles and a popula- tion of about 500,000. Its capital is Porto Alegro, and the province is situated in the extreme south of Brazil; , A Rumor of Fighting. Naturally these revolutionary rumors are made the most of by the Imperialists and it is known that cipher dispatches of a most important nature have been pass- ing between the leaders of the “restora- tion” movement and Dom Pedro. There is a rumor current here that there has been fighting in Brazil between the troops of President Da Fonseca and the revolutionists. Owing to the fact that Rio Grande has declared itself independent of the Da Fonseca government, it is inferred that the cOnflict may have occurred in that province. This alarming report can- not be verified at present. Some people fancy that it may be only a “bourse ru- mor.” A Great Coal Pile Burning. DULUTH, Nov. 10.—The great coal pile on the Northwestern Fuel company’s docks is still on fire, although water has been pouring into the burning mass at the rate of 1,800 gallons a minute since last Friday. The firemen cannot reach the hottest por- tion of the blaze. If the air reaches the smoldering fire the whole mass, contain- ing thousands of tons of coal, is likely to be destroyed. Some of the largest elevat- ors lie near the coal dock, but it is be- lieved that they can be saved. The Duluth and Minneapolis fire departments are working in relays of six hours each. The cause is believed to be spontaneous com- bustion. The loss will doubtless reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. New Hampshire’s Dry Spell. ‘ CONCORD, Nov. 10.—The effects of the long drought in New Hampshire are be- coming very serious. All the important streams are remarkably low and the wells are giving out in all directions. The Vale mills at Nashua have been shut down, and many factories are shortening their hours of labor on account of the scarcity of water. At Manchester the Merrimac river is the lowest in its history. Farmers have to carry water several miles for their stock. They Robbed Freight Cars. BOSTON, Nov. 10.——George D. Wood and John F. Dwinnell, employed respectively as brakeman and freight conductor on the Boston and Albany railroad, were arrested for the larceny of $500 worth of goods from freight cars. The police say that for some time past the two men have systematically robbed the cars of merchandise, consisting chiefly of cloths, ribbons, laces and no tions. Some of the goods have been re- covered. The Prince of Wales’ Birthday. LONDON, Nov. 10.—-The fiftieth anniver- sary of the birth of the Prince of Wales was celebrated with loy‘al enthusiasm Monday. Messages poured into Sandring- ham with gifts, those from the German kaiser and Prince Henry alone amounting in value to 100,000 marks. This munifi- cence would seem to dispose of any rumor of coldness between the kaiser and the Prince of Wales. Two Firemen Killed. CINCINNATI, Nov. 10.——Two firemen were killed and four badly injured by the breaking of a. ladder at a fire in the picture frame establishment of Oscar Onken. It is thought the injured will re cover.
