" - PLANS OF WAR DEPARTMENT. Chaoses Contemplated for Baa Fran cleeo Unrrlaon. San Francisco, Nov. 8 The recent changes that bave taken place at the aeveral local military stations will not result in a reduction of tbe numerical force of tbe San Frauoisco bay garrison. As a matter of fact, the late maneu vers mean that San Francisco harbor is to be more thoroughly protected than ever. Colonel W. II Shatter, the new comander at the Presidio, is authority for this statement Furthermore, the various ohanges effected and in contem plation are the direct remit of General Miles' recent visit to the Pacific coast It is the intention of the war depart ment to make San Francisco the largest aud moat Important military poat on the entire slope. Tbe plan agreed upon iuoludca muny changes. Hereafter tbe Presidio is to be regarded merely as headquarters for the post officers aud a detachment of laud forces, instead of a reudexvous for the principal detach ments assigned to the post. The asHigument of high-power guns to this stution baa rendered necessary the selec tion of elevated and advantageous sites, such as Lime point, Poiut Lobos and Poiut Bonita. for their mounting, in stead of the low ground at the Presidio. Oue of the chief features of the pro posed Improvements for the defense of this port will be the establishment of an entirely new station on tbe Marin county shore. The almost natural eurthworka back of Point Loboa, on the Sau Francisco shore, are to be mounted with six or eight of the high-power guns and another powerful battery is to be located at Lake Merced. These, acting with the already pow erful battery of dynamite guns aud 10 inch high power rifles mounted near tho Presidio, are considered sufficient by Ueueral Miles aud Colonel Sbafer to take care of any hostile squadron.

Crazed with drink, (ieorge Viuiug, a logger, deliberately shot Jaires Joues, at Sbel ton this morniug, attempted to kill an other man, aud then ended his own life. Viniug bad quarreled last evening with two meu from Seattle, and oue of them bit his lip. Tbe three men bad apparently forgotten tbe quarrel, aud were sitting iu a saloon at 2 o'clock tbis morning, when Viuing cooly re marked: "I guess I'll killaooupleof people." He went to his cabin at the eud ot town aud returned with a rifle; looked iuto tbe saloon, but, not seeing the two men with whom be bad quarreled, be took op his station across tbe street. About an hour elapsed, when one of tbe men, named Molutyre, stepped out and Viniug fired. The bullet shattered Mclutyre's arm, aud the arm had to be jot off. The lights iu tbe saloon were put ict, aud the men scattered. Yiuing waited for another victim and fired at :hd next man to leave the saloon. Tbat nan proved to be James Jones, aged 'J'J. aud a particular frieud of Viniug. When the mistake waadieoovered, Vin iug turued the rifle ugaiust his own iibdomen, fired and dropped dead, liotb ot the dead men were unmarried, ON MEXICAN SOIL.

The custom prevails on the border of allowing Americans to inter Mexico freely with horses aud outfit, provided the parties are well known an 1 intend to return. Tbe same rule applies to Mexicans entering tbis country. Mansur drove a Mexican horse, but the wagon aud harness were of American manufacture. At mid night, he was routed out by a posse ot rurales aud conducted to Tiajuana, charged with smuggling. An imme diate trial took place before Joaquin .azaueta, justice of the peace. Mausur was fined iiS0 or five years imprison ment in Ensenada. The papers were forwarded to Euseuada, and the pris oner followed.

The im perial government must therefore de cline any attempt to clear up the matter, and it will neither deny what what is false nor supply what is in complete." M. RODERICK KILLED iu Was Su.pectrd of Having Kobbed George MoAuley. Spokane, Wash., Oct U0. James Monogbun, one of tbe chief owners of the Cariboo gold mine, received a brief telegram tbis evening reporting the killing of Mart Roderick, the man that was suspected of tbe crime of holding op George McAoluy and taking from him tl,000 worth of gold bullion that MoAuley was bringing out from the mine.

Tbe Cariboo mine is more than 200 miles from Spokane, and more than 100 miles from tbe nearest telegraph sta tion, Marcos on the Spokaue & North ern railway. It is a free-milling mine, and tbe bullion is taken from the ore by means of a Btamp mill. In sending tbe bullion ont to Spokane, the man agement took no precaution to provide a guard. When McAuley was held up he was alone. The robber, who bad a mask on bis face and iu bis hands a double barreled shotgun with the barrels sawed off, stepped from the roadside aud commanded McAuley to throw out tbe bullion. Tbe dispatch says none of the bulliou has been recovered. Itoderlek Was a Seattle Mail. Seattle. Oct. 80. The Post-Intelligencer will say in the morning that Matthew Roderick was a supposed re spectable citizen of Seattle. Roderick 1 was working in the mine, but was ill there at the time of the holdup. Soon after the robbery he returned to Seattle and eiuce tbeu has been shadowed by detectives. A week ago last night, Roderick left the city, ostensibly ou busiuess. The detectives believed he had gone back after the bullion he could not carry away, as there were three bars, two big ones aud one small bar. The small one contained rl,600, aud it was believed Roderick took that one out and hid the two others. Nothing more was heard of the case until today, wheu a telegram announc ed the killing of Roderick, Tbe detectives hive two affidavits from men who live in tbe Cariboo country, in which it is alleged that Roderick tried to get them to go iu with him on tbe holdup. Roderick left a widow and two children in Seattle. She first heard (f her husband's death tonight, when the officers went to her house aimed with a search warrant. In a small safe, 300 in gold was found, aud in addition, papers showing tbat Roderick bad spent several hundred dollars siuce re turning to Seattle.
