longer rem ains any doubt as to the

the n ig h t of February 15, 1898.
The cofferdam about the w reck has
been pumped out and the mud cleared
aw ay to a g rea ter e x te n t than ever
before. The clearing away o f w reck­
age reveals the double bottom of the
ship w ith p a rt of the keel standing in
a perpendicular position 28 fee t higher
than the n atural position.
This perfectly confirms the rep o rt
and testim ony which Ensign Powel-
son gave before an in v estig atin g board

upon reports made to him by divers

I t is indicated by engineers here
th a t such a tearin g of the sh ip 's bot­

an in terio r explosion. It is fu rth e r
said th a t no regulation m ilitary mine
could have w rought such terrific
havoc. I t 'm u st have been a huge

suggested a t the tim e; perhaps a sug­

Rolph CMcted
Frar-
cisco By Big Majority.
San Francisco— Incomplete retu rn s
from all d istricts show the following
results of Tuesday’s election: For
mayor— Rolph, 14,547; McCarthy, 8,-
841.
For d istric t attorney—F ick ert,
9,333; Hawthorne, 8.284.
San Francisco — Jam es Rolph, J r .,
was elected mayor of San Francisco a t
the first direct prim ary election to de­
term ine the personnel of municipal
officers of the city and county o f San
Francisco.
The vote will closely approxim ate
80,000, the biggest ever cast in the
city.
W hile the vote is by no means com­
pletely counted, the returns indicate
the election of Rolph by a substantial
m ajority and close supporters of May­
or McCarthy, the only real opponent
of Rolph, concede the m ayor’s defeat.
Max J. Kuhl, Rolph’s cam paign
m anager, issued the following sta te ­
m en t:
“ From indications now at hand,
Rolph’s p lurality will be in the neigh­
borhood of 27,000. This, in our opin­
ion, is m erely a vindication of the
good name o f San Francisco. A united
people w orking for one object, the re­
generation and good name of San
Francisco, have put them selves firmly
on record.
The people can look fofvard to the
F air years w ith an absolute assurance
th a t not only will the F a ir itself, but
the governm ent of San Francisco, too,
be a credit to our people.”
A t the McCarthy headquarters no
one could be found who would volun-
te er a statem ent, but the News, the
only paper which has supported Mayor
McCarthy, conceded Rolph’s election,
probably by 15,000.
ITALIAN CRUISERS SENT.
Turkish Army Transports Will Be In­
tercepted and Attacked.
V ienna — I t is reported here th a t
three Italian w arships have arrived a t
Tripoli and are cruising before the
harbor.
Six thousand troops have assembled
a t Palerm o ready for em barkation.
P aris — A dispatch to the Temps
from Rome says th a t the Italian cruis­
ers have le ft the naval ports, w ith the
object of in tercep tin g Turkish tran s
ports en route for T ripoli.
T ripoli—Foreigners are alarmed at
the situ atio n grow ing o ut of th e re ­
ported intention of Italy to occupy
Tripoli in defiance o f the Turkish gov­
ernm ent. An A rab revolt is feared.
F oreigners are fleeing hastily. E v­
ery available boat leaving here is
crowded w ith Europeans.
The above is the first dispatch direct
from Tripoli since the threatened con
flict betw een Italy and T urkey d irect­
ing atten tio n to th a t T urkish province
on th e north coast of A frica. I t bears
out ea rlier advices from M alta and
oth er points indicating an exodus of
Europeans from the troubled zone.
Ita lia n residents of Tripoli have le ft
in larg e num bers, fearin g th a t they
m ight be made the victim s of Turkish
vengeance, and the now reported pos­
sib ility th a t the A rabs may tak e ad­
v antage of the situ atio n and begin an
u p risin g adds another grave featu re to
the T u rk o -Italian quarrel.
