SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8. That the troubles of the liner Minnesota were entirely mechanical, that there ha. been no mutiny and no trouble with the crew, was the substance of a wireless message received here today from Cap tain Garliuk, master of the disabled liner. This was the first direct statement from the Minnesota's sklpjier to anyone but officials of the Great Northern Steamship company and confirmed the statements made repeatedl- by ('. W. Wiley, marine superintendent of the company, that all suggestions of bomb jlots and mutiny were matters of sur mise originating ashore. According to a wireless received to 'nlght from the wrecking steamer laqua, the Minnesota was being towed toward San Francisco.

Hernandez, alert but satisfied of temporary safety, beckoned to his two companions and the three crowded into the dingy little closet of the por ter. He turned back to the porter. "Tell us," he commanded, "the best route to San Pedro and Los Angeles. Our way lies north." Many hours later at Los Angeles, a coterie of Americans sat around a broad table In an unused courtroom In the post office building In Los An- i geles. Spread upon the table were a num ber of documents a trinket or two. Among them was a locket. Among them were a patched-together parchment map and a Spanish grant. The admiral leaned toward the United S'ates district attorney the latter had come down from San Fran cisco to place the seal of his depart ment's approval upon the matter now in hand. "Are you satisfied?" queried the ad miral. "Absolutely," said the district at torney, "the paper title is at present unassailable, and as much to be rec ognized as though" he bowed to An nette "as though our fair daughter here were a sister republic. It re mains for you, sir" his glance bent upon the commander of the battle ship Missouri "to find out who may bfi In possession and to oust them in favor of this paper title." "I wonder whom we'll find?" mused Ar'i-tte, her eyes glowing. !'-r,babiy no one," returned the admiral. Tho drink had Just the wrong ef fect. Joe became sngry noisy un manageable. "I'll be damned If I do your bidding any more," snarled Joe. Hernandez darted a glance toward Inez. She returned It. "Leave him with me," she said. Hernandez did a. be was bid. He left her alone with Joe. And In the next fifteen minute. Inez Castro made love to Joe as she never bad before. She overwhelmed him wltb enchant ment. "Tonight," she whispered to blm, "tonight, Americano. But breathe not a word to him he will kill us both." Half an hour Inter Annette swung out of the hotel grounds, mounted on a wiry little pony. She spied Joe and drew In her steed. She noted that Joe was unduly ex cited. "Joe," she exclaimed, "tell mother I'll be safe." Under certain influences Joe's mind acted with unusual rapidity. Drink and the dark eye. of Inez Castro had set him well on edge. Without a mo ment's thought he stooped by the road side and plucked a thorny burr. He straightened up again, with tho thorny burr concealed within bis hand. 1le did not answer Annette at first, but approached her and ber steed. "Good cow pony!" he exclaimed. He stroked the horse's nose, its neck, its flanks. And then he did another thing. "Safe as they make 'em," he con tinued. And then he did the trick. His right hand stole gently up across the horse's back, behind Annette stole to the saddle. Swiftly and unnoticed be pushed I W0yA if He Seized a 1 a Chair and Whirled It About His Head.

Joe Welcher, his head cut and blued Ing, was the first to revive. Ills remorseful frenzy still lent blm strength and energy. .He uprang to his feot looked for Annette. He no ticed nothing else save that tho room was wrecked. He found Annette, picked bor up and carried her without. She was stunned, but practically "Unhurt But Joe didn't know all this. He had Inside of ten minutes, Inet, In a stu por, wus staring st the Brut from one side of tho room Hornande from the other. Ilernandei shook th lothargy from blm. II crawled to Inez. "Up up," be cried, tugging at her, "we have no time to lose, you beait come on." Seizing them both, tearing at them frantically, llko mad, be sped wltb them toward a cluster of trees on the other sldo of the road, In tho midst of this dense growth be had bidden bis machine. Panting with frenzy, his glance ever over hi shoulder, ho forced them Into the car, sprang to the wheel, threw In the clutch, and was off. It was threo days later, on tho high seas, 'that Ilernandei his other two uuuipanlons well hidden In the hold stole, out of the compsnlon way of a fruit steamer bound for tho southern seas, He glanced cautiously around a cor-, ner. The first figure that met his sight wns Neal Hardin an ensign In the nnvy. "What's ho doing hero?" demanded Hernandez of himself. II ( watched warily. What he saw disturbed him, Neal was giving orders to the cap tain of the ship. Hornundnz looked about him. Sud denly ho darted forward, stooped, and picked up somothlng from tho floor, "What Is It?" quorlod Inoz. "A piece of steal," he said. That night, woll muffled, he stole toward tho compass, and concealed his jiloco of stool whore it would do the most good or most harm, as you pro for. No one saw him no one know. But on his return, turning a cornor, he ran full tilt Into Ensign Neal Har din himself. Neal sprang upon the muffled figure and tore tho enveloping cloak from Hernandoz' grasp. "You," cried Neal, leaping for Hor nundez, "I've got you now." They strvKglod llko tigers, but Neal took no chances. This was no tost bout. I lo wanted to mnko sure of his man. Ho called for help. Help came. A dozen men pounced upon Hernan dez. When he wns safely chained Neal rose to his feet. "We've got him," said Neal briefly. Ho gave an ordor. "Search the ship," ho said. The ship was searched, and with in the next quarter of an hour Inn cr.d the Brute, each In the clutch of many powerful men, came Into view on deck.
