Washington March 17. Secretary
of the Navy Metcalf today confirmed
the exclusive United Press assocla
tlon's story sent yesterday to The
Journal that Admiral Evans would
retire from service on arrival of the
battleship fleet at San Francisco and
that the reason for the gallant old
officer 's relinquishment Is that he la
In very feeble- health. Admiral
Evans himself made application for
rtilUl in a letter to the secretary.
Secretary Metcalf also said that
after due consideration of the mat
ter of command of the ships after
Admiral Evans' retirement it was
practically settled that Rear Admiral
Thomas would take command.

Evans , from the Atlantic to the Pa

Officers scoff at the stories of the
defectiveness of the ships and declare
that tne Keuteraam ana other charges
are entirely disproved. Even to a lay
man it would seem mat tuis were so.
Everything appeared to be In fine shape
on the arrival of the rieet; the guns
worked like a charm In preliminary tar

well that the time had come for him
to allow some other hand to grasp
the helm of the flagship. However,
the admiral had one last request to
make of the department; he desired
beyond all things that he live to
guide the greatest navy his country
ever possessed to Its destination in
the Pacific. The request was granted
and now the grim old warrior h.as
showed to the world that he is a
navigator of extraordinary merit as
well as a fighter, he is willing to
rest upon his laurels and live the
few remaining years of his life In
comfort ashore.

It in ndmitted thero are noma defects

all the agitation that has been aroused.
Inspection of every ship In the fleet by
quaunea representatives or tne united
Press association confirmed the state
ments of Chief Executive Officer In
gersoll as tp the condition of the ships.
Measurements were taken and observa
tion made and It was found that none
of the ships lacked coal, none of the
armor belts were submerged, none of
the great guns was flooded during the
cruise, none of the engines had broken
down, In any particular, and that the
personnel of the fleet fore and aft was
better than that of any similar fleet
ever assembled under any flag.
... Tina Health Bscord. '
The mortality record of the fleet,
naval surgeons say, has never been
equalled. The percentage of deaths is
so remarkably low as to cause amaze
ment. With approximately 16,000 men
on the ships, denied the regular living
that is the portion of the landsman, en
countering every variety of climatic con-
omons, suosisting in great measure on
tinned goods, there were but five deaths
from natural causes on the 88-dav iour-
ney, one- death being due to violence.
Two deaths a month in a city of 15,000
would be considered remarkable, but
this percentage Is more fractlonless
man mat on the great fleet of warships
Which Is looked UDon as something at-
'most Incredible.

arrives In San Francisco and even be

Three similes used by Father Peter
C. Yorke of Ban Francisco to express
the 8an Francisco graft lnvestiga
tions:
The movement Is like the mule
In that It has no pride of ancestry
nor hope of posterity.
It is like the mountain that was
la labor and brought forth a mouse
What, is in this graft prosecution?
It Is also what Is left In the balloon
after it has been punctured a puff
of hot air.
Father Torke, the witty 'California
priest and champion of the rights of
labor, arrived In lrtland this morning,
and in characteristic fashion expressed
hia opinion of the' Schmitz and Ruef
prosecutions in San Francisco, of Spe
cial Prosecutor Francis J. Heney, of
graft prosecutions in general and of
various members or tne California
bench.
First and foremo Father Yorke la
not a personal admirer of Francis J.
Heney, "Oregon's vigorous prosecutor."
Hi' hinted tnls mornitiK tiiat Heney
might belong; in Oregon, not California,
and that the people of the Golden state
would not be greatly porturbed If there
wre any prospect of tits being; recalled
home.
'In addition he cnys that the most
manly and dignified figure in all the
graft Investigation and prosecution
throughout has bten that ot ex-Mayor
ffehmltz. For Abe Rut-f Father Yorke
has ft contempt to express which would
bankrupt the vocabulary of any but
this resourceful Irishman.
Two Much Agitation.
"If tomorrow the whole graft and
anti-graft would disappear from San
Franclsqp tlicro would be' no effect
made unon the city. That is the only
Wav in which I can express the lnconsf-
quentlalness of the whole proceeding.
The movement is like the mule -it hos
no pride of ancestry nor hope of pos
terity, it is puruly extraneous not
organic."
He declared that so far as results
wore concerned they would be like the
mountain which was In labor and
brought forth a ridiculous mouse. The
movement had begun for purely poten
tial reasons without any desire to bet
ter the town morally or noclaIly.
"I am very much surprised that the
recent developments In the graft prose
cution have mit reached Portland. Tho
principals are now engaged in firing
affidavits at one -another weighing from
60,000 to 80,000 words," said Father
York. ' "The latest thing is that two
very respectable Jewish rabbis have
been brought into the question. Two
rabbis. lUbbl Neito and Rabbi Kaplan,
men whose standing in those parts are
of the highest and 1'ing established,
have made affidavit that Special Prose
cutor Heney has declared to be rank
perjury. He Intends to have them in
dicted by a grand Jury.
"Judge Dunne has also said of these
reverend gentlemen that they we're ly

mess there is in It now, especially as

London, March 17. A cablegram,
to the foreign office received late
this afternoon from the British con
sul at Port Au Prince says that an
anti-foreign outbreak has been
started by the blacks. No details
are given but the trouble is sup
posed to have been precipitated by
the. arrival of foxelea warships.
(Continued on Page Four.)
Port Au Prince, Hayti, March 17;
Late this afternoon it was re
ported that there was considerable
dissatisfaction among the officials,
of the Haytlan government over tho
arrival of the warships. The .dem
onstration is counted on to stir up
much feeling among the blacks. All
seems quiet at all of the legations
except the French. Here the fear of .,
a general massacre Is kept burning
by the Insurrectionists housed there.
An attempt to land marines from
the French cruiser d'Estress upoa
her arrival will be certain to pro
voke trouble. .

tian flag. The sound of the firing
was taken to indicate trouble and
