Magdalena, Bay, April 7.— (V ia Ran
Diego)— The work of preparing for the
California reception, now bat ten days
distant, ie already in progress among
the battleships of the Atlantic fleet.
Every ship not engaged in coaling or
working on the torpedo range is udergo-
ing a thorough scrubbing, scraping and
painting from the water line to the
mastheads. Every lnoh of the surface
of the ships w ill be gone over and
cleaned and polished.
Divers have
been sent over the side of each ship
and have made thorough inspections of
the bottoms.
Many of the vessels are nearly as
clean as when they left Hampton
Roads, according to the reports of the
divers. The long time spent at anchor
age in the bay has done more to foul
the bottoms than the trip around the
Horn.
The work of coaling for the Anal leg
o f the long royage is being pushed with
all speed. Last night the crew of the
Maine worked all night taking coal from
a collier alongside and stowing it away
in the bunkers.
Admiral Thomas has issued a tenta
tive program lor the fleet for the dates
April 11 to April 19, whloh includes
the departure of the fleet from Magda
lena at same hour not yet fixed on
April 11 and Its arrival at Ran Diego
a t 1 p. m. April 14. The program
quotes from the official program of the
reception committee in Ban Diego, giv
ing the details for the four days the
ships will be in port there.
Admiral Thomas has also issued a
lengthy detailed order, on the forma
tion of a brigade of sailors and marines,
for parade duty in Ban Diego, Ban
Franoirco and other cities, It provides
tor the formation of a fleet naval brig-
ade of more than 5,000 men. Ih e total
is made of 64 companies of bluejackets,
four from each ship, and 16 companies
of marines or on6 from each ship.

Seven Are Killed and IOO Wounded In
Lisbon Election Riots.
Lisbon, April 7.— 8even persons were
shot to death and 100 Others wounded
by soldiers laBt evening, after the vot
ing in the elections in this city had
ended. The rioting was widespread and
such was the confusion during the vio
lent oonflict between the populace and
the municipal government that the
guardsmen, mistaking the infantry who
had been'cslled out for rioters, fired a
volley into their tanks,
seriously
wounding three of the soldiers.
The night was one of terror for Lis
bon, which seemed suddenly aflame
with revolt. Bands of men ran wildly
through the streets, brandishing weap
ons, whllp the sharp crack of rifles was
heard in various sections.
Lisbon remains practically an armed
camp. Large numbers have been ar
rested. The people are now in a state
o f feverish unrest and it is feared there
may be a recurrence of the bloodshed.
