Good For Ben Butler.
..Boston, Mass., July 27. General
Benjamin F. Butler, H un interview
yesterday, expressed himself very
forcible against tlte punishment ol
Private lams at Homestead. In
the course of his talk he said the
proceeding was a barbarous one aud
nnJiHtltlable by any law In peace or
war, and if it Is not reprobated so
fully aud thoroughly by public
Kwitlnietit, that it will never occur
Haiti, it will do much to disorgau-
!'-jM.nurstato militia, because no man
wlU go out voluntarily to perform
duty where such punishments may
follow if he disagrees with his col
onel lu political, social, moral or
religious sentiments. General But-
!-r. added that Colonel 8t renter
Iftjdiiid be tried by a military com-
, inif-sloo of tlionutldiiol government

; Then he should be tried by a Jury
for cruel assault and imprisoned or

The firemen were utterly uuablo to
cope with It, and were driven quick
ly from point to point. The pro
gress of tho flro was through v
section largely occupied by the
homes of laboring men. They were
compelled to abandon everything,
and are now huddled In temporary
quarters without a possession In the

Bergman's Accomplice. a
I'lTTSiJima. Juiy 20. Detectives
have arrested Casper Knold, a work
man at Taylor fc Dean's wire riilll,
on a Charge of being an accomplice of
Bcrgmam Kuold said Bergman
came to hint July 14 with a letter of
introduction from Herr Most. He
stayed with Kuold until last Thurs
day. Friday Knold mH him up

i he most Incendiary description.
Among thf Btutl' captured were let
teit from anarchist In Clilolgo.Nnw
Yotk, Hnbokcn and other places.
Kuold admitted he had received sev
eral letters from Most concerning
LVrmnati. Most, he said, told him
liergtnun was a bad man. Paul Ec
kert, who rents rooms to Kuold and
ills wtfo, was also arrested, but was
-oiin afterward released. The fact
Bergman presented a letter from
Herr Most substantiates the lutter's
lulm that he is acquainted with the

city of Bergman, who asserted he
i. d never met Most. Other arrest
ue looked for soon. Robert Sterlula,

Un 1 mi, cihco, July 27. Llcut-tiiint-Comtiiander
Goodall, of the
aval battalion, has made applica
nt to the tecrotary of tbo navy for
he use of the cruiser Charleston for
i week's cruise for the battalion, It
s confidently expected by the of
leers and members of the uavul re
el ve that tho permlbsiou sought
vill b granted, as this branch of the
National Guaid of California is en
Itlcd to atiummer cruise for the
(.inio period that the infantry and
irtillery cujoy tho pleasuro aud In
ituiclioti of a week lu camp. Tho
Jbarleston is expected back lu port
here early In August, aud, with the
sanction of Secretary Traoy,she will
immediately prepare to entertain the
uaval buttallon for a week.
Though the prospective cruise re
mains as yet a matter of uncertain
ty, u programme for the week's do
ings has been mapped out, in antici
pation that an opportunity will bo
tiflordcd to curry.it out. Four com
panies will go into quarters ou the
Pensacolu, and will enjoy a dally
crule on tho Charleston, either to
tho Faiallones or up aud down tho
coast, where an opportunity may be
had for practico with the cruiser's
big guns. Ono day will bo devoted
to landing drills on tho beach near
the Bresldo, and others to tho vari
ous other dulls and marlno maneu
vers which can bo crowded Into a
week. In case the Charleston Is se
cured for tho week, sho will bo com-
luneu (,o leuiin mo Duitauon eucn
evonlng to the school ship on ac
count of a lack of accommodations
ou the cruiser for a largo forco of
men and olllccn, which places tho
matter of a long cruise out of tho
question.

Sho was tall and graceful, with
rlcarcut features, eTjircssivo eyes
and a mouth and clnn whose firm
linos denoted forco of character. Her
hair was a light golden brown, and
altogether tho young lady excited no
tmnll degree of curiosity.
"Toll yon what, boys," observed
Smithy, "sho's a regular hummer.
You want to watch yoursclvcH, too,
for that's just about my btylo, seo?

I may mention hero that the f-cono

Miss Ray, tho new guest, was in
troduced to Smithy that evening.
After an hour's conversation with
hor Smithy retired to tho smoking
room, and, after lighting a cigar,
casually remarked that "This hero's
a queer world anyhow."
'What's tho matter, Smithy?" I
asked; "you're not in lovo already?"
'In love I Well, I guess not. Say,

" 'Most people,' sho said, 'hold icr-

all 1 could do was to pass out every

"What did you say when you loft

"Oh, I just remarked that as this

Why Ury Lnml Is Increasing.
An essential cause of increase of
lry land is tho decrease of tho ocean
itself in consequouco of infiltration
of water through tho crust of tho
earth, which is a kind of porous
mass, into which tho liquid element
percolates by innumorablo fissures,
taking possession of tho donths n.id
dnceting itself slowly toward tho
center, as tho internal iiro diminishpa
and thej-'nists crack open in conso
quenro. It is understood that tho
uctivity of volcanoes aud many
earthquakes Ls largely duo to this
inovitablo ponetration of tho water,
which internal heat transforms into
vapor undor pre.ajro. Somo geolo
