The Bar Golden, Don Manuel Casin’s tug, chartered 1 *“Tio Coneo” Ezeta's cause, was not taken out by Captain A. P. respecting the k grows out of | Central and South America, v el with Don Manuel Casin himself. When Carlos Bzeta, becoming jealous of the per- sonal fi i of his brother and Casin, ordered Casin’s arrest, one of the soldiers who was carrying out the orders was shot. It was then that Don Antonio relased Casin, laug! in the faces of the Judges of his country, and Casin fled into | Guatemala, cutting the telegraph wires as | he went. So Casin will not intrude too ashly upon Salvadoran soil. What makes the alternative designs of able is the coincidence of the schooner Una leaving this port a few days ago for | Acapulco, with enough provisions and stores on board to last her for two years. She had as a passenger Captain George McLean— not Alexander McLean, as reported on the water front, but his brother—and Captain McLean had a crew of Cape Verde Portu- guese with him, intending to_ fit out and | put to se: Nicolini ni, which is I of the | ) owns the N With the two | schooners loaded with provisions and the tug Barclay Golden. Casin and Ezeta could make themselves of service to the revolu- tionists of Ecuador, if they so desired. Casin’s scheme, recalling by association of ideas the young Cuban attorney, Gon- zalo de Quesada, whom Don Carlos Ezeta employed to go to San ancisco and de- d his brother, Antonio, in the Benning- t affair, has incidentally caused the | startling story to come to light respecting tbe Cuban revolution. During a banquet held at the California Hotel young Quesada wanted Antonio to o and take up arms in the Cuban cause. The latter i be would, somewhat the s Una al and blind ward of the C! il 1rens’ Hospital.

The schoolroom scene from “Dr. Syntax” was performed, as well as the second act from “Wang,” and the good-sized audience that was present warmly applauded both excerpts from the Hopper repertoire. Joe Cawthorn was to have entertained with skits from his comedy, “A Fool for Luck,” but he has been on the sick-list ever since his arrival in San Francisco and yesterday he was pronounced worse. his place as an ‘Wanted Someth! as several encore! —————— BISHOP OF THE SOUTH. The Rev. Dr. Joseph B. Johnson of Detroit Admirably Fitted for the Office. The news of the election by the diocesan convention of Southern California of Rev. Dr. Joseph B. Johnsou of Detroit, Mich:, for Bishop came in the nature of a pleasant surprise to those interested in the affairs of the Kpiscopalian Church. Dr. Johnson is described as being a genial and magnetic gentleman, one who is admirably fitted for the bhigh office of Bishop. He has filled for a number of vears the pulpit of St. John’s Church in Detroit. From St. John’s Rev. George Worthing- ton left his pastorship to assume the Bishopric of Nebraska. The church has one of the choicest congregations of any in that city of ehurches. For some time Dr. Johnson has been in delicate health, but is described as a man of great energy in church work. The fact that Southern California is the dwelling place of so many Easterners will make the new Bishop’s advent particularly welcome The Rev. Dr. Wakefield, rector of Trinity Church, San Jose, said last evening: “Dr. e ~ REThMb> % = = GONZALO DE QUESADA, ANTONIO’S DEFENDER AND SECRETARY OF THE JUNTA. of 'yesterday, | pompously remarking, “I will go and ving at Mission- | show the s how to fight.” But he tention to start yester tel Casin’s informing Government has al- ed of the Casin-Ezeta Prieto panish daily paper, ia, from Pr ent Guti- Interpreted it reads: es that a -ancisco to is republic. bring & large has received ad -ta and Casin. n expedition is mov expense to Casin to the extent of $500.000, and that Casin is putting Antonio for- Ex-President Palma of Cuba. ward in the hope that he might possibly sccomplish a coup and enable Casinto get back his $500,000. Ecuadoran politics have entered some- what into the Ezeta expedition owing to the revolution in progress in that republic and the friendsnip A. F. Ballen showed toward Antonio while the latter was in this City. There is a story that Ballen’s friendship for Ezeta cost him and the former _Ecnador _Government several thousand dollars. Itis to the effect that during the last revolution Ballen was in- structed to look out for shipments of arms and that money was sent to pay whatever detectives were necessary, Ezefa by some process becoming suddenly possessed of a financial windfall. Ballen was then Ezeta’s general factotum and was pro- mised the consulship and general purchas- ing agency at this City for Salvador in the event of the overthrow of Gutierrez. The belief has been expressed tbat asan alternative hope of Oasin and Ezeta they is weli informed of the | as to his occupation responded: | and Quesada guarreled, and Ezeta changed s mind. Then Quesada went back to York, and what was known as the " was started there by Jose Marti, resident Thomas Estrada Palma, Gonzalo de Quesada, Benjamin J. Guerra and others. Quesada at once became the secretary of Jose Marti, with whom he was associated 0 asone of the editors of Patria, the of the revoiutionists. When 1t to Cuba he ordered Quesada to here in charge. General Maximo | Gomez reiterated the command, and after Marti's death he was practically the chief | of the entire organization of Cuban clubs According to the story an accusation 15 said to have been made recently by the revolutionist generals Maximo Gomez a onio Maceo, for wr Editor of the Diario is the authority. s and states that the charge is o and Gomez that out of the mpathizers in this the medium of the | 00,000 has been used | ooly 1 ammunition to the ighters for the freedom of the *‘Gem of the Antilles.” This may, however, prove ave emanated from a source close to General Campos. The present delegate of the “Junta”— | which is the highest office—is General | | Estrada Palma. Palma was the active | supporter of Cespedes, and succeeded the | | Marquis of Santa Lucia as President of the revolutionary counsel on the troubled isle. He was still President in 1874 when cap- tured by the Spaniards, and when asked “Presi- | dent of the Cuban Republic.”” Quesada is now general secretary of the organization of Cuban sympathizers. His colleague, Horatio Reubens, is attorney for it and Benjamin Guerra is the treas- urer. It has been thought that Carlos Ezeta has been aiding the Cuban revolutionists. His brother says he fled from Salvador with $900,000 in American goid; so he has But Carlos published a notice in rissaying that he MRS. WHITE SUES. She ¥s Indignant at Her Husband’s Remarks and Now Wants a Divorce. Mrs. Chester White, wife of the naval lieutenant who eloped with a chorns girl a few days ago, has commenced suit for a divorce. Mrs. White was at first inclined to allow the matter to rest and to let talk of the oc- currence die out, but since then her hus- band has been talking, and talking, too, in & way which showed rather the reverse of remorse for what has taken place, and so 1s]l_)e has decided to securea divorce from im. ‘What made Mrs. White particularly in- dignant was a remark of her husband say- ing that she was aware of his intended de- parture, and that he wrote to her, while on his way East, a letter such as any husband would write to his wife. The divorce is asked on the ground of desertion. BENEFIT FOR SICK CHILDREN.

Prison, where he was booked “for medical attendance only,” | and then taken to the Receiving Hospital | and placed in the inebriate cell. John Lee, who bad lentally fallen into the bay from Howard-street wharf y night, was in the cell recover- n his involuntary bath. Murtha had been in the cell for about an hour when he unbuttoned his suspenders, tied them around his neck tightly and tied the ends around one of the bars. Lee had been dozing on his cot, but Murtha’s attempt to strangle himself thoroughiy wakened him up. He jumped to his feet ! and cut the suspender: Murtha was getting biack in the face. As soon as Murtha vered his breath | he made a rush at the wall with his head | lowered. Lee grappled with him, and | they wrestled and fought till they fell, | Lee on top. Lee, to put an end to the con- flict, whacked Murtha over the head with the heel of his shoe, and he was eng | in that occupation when the stewards and ns who heard the noise of the ggle in the cell rushed in. Murtha was wild with delirtum, and he s locked up in one of the steel cells by | f and strapped down so he could | not injure himself. Inquiry was made at the Baldwin Hotel about Murtha, but no one of that name had been a guest at the hotel, and nothing was known about him. —————— | REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE. !

Craig. ; Parsons was appointéd permanent chairman, Hugh OCraig vice- chairman, | and George E. Walthew seeretary. | " Mr. Parsons, opening the meeting, said: | *‘We come here, gentlemen, to discuss the ns laid’on the shipping of | this port. a notorious fact that the portof San Fra co, instead of being the cheapest port in the country. is the most expensive. The old order of things that obtained in early days is still carried on, he condition of things has changed This is to be a committee for work.” moved and seconded that the change be admitted to the com- | mittee and that Isidore Jacobs and Frank Dalton be accepted as delegates from that bodly. A{RU the motion was passed that the Produce Exchange be invited to send dele- ollowing resolution was submitted orge E. Plummer, and adopted: Resolved, That there shail be appointed four sub-committees of five members each to which shali be assigned the following subjects: First, harbor property; second, ptlotage; third, tax- ation of shipping; fourth, unspecified matters. The said sub-committees shall investigate and consider the matters assigned to them and shall decide upon and report to the main body 18t reforms shall be demanded and to what tent and wanner, clearly specified in detail. The sub-committee on unspecified matters shall have jurisdiction over and shall take under consideration all matters affecting the maritime commerce of San Francisco not cov- sub-committees, The word compulsory, in the committee | on compulsory pilotage, was stricken out as not being entirely comprehensive. The- following outlined campaign of the committee to be formed was also submitted by Mr. Plummer: ylved, That the plan of campaign of this itiee shall be as follows: ibseription lists shall be opened and the members of the various associations repre- sented upon this committee shall be asked to contribute_a_mbnthly sum the amount of which shall be left to the contributor, but to be paid each month until the adjournment of the California State Legislature of 1897. | There shall be eml!loycd a competent news- paper man at an adequate fixed salary, who shall be required constantly to prepare data and ascertain facts and to write articles, statis- tics, news items, editorials and other forms of ying information. he secretary of this committee shall edit | all the writings above mentioned and shall disseminete them in the widest possible man- ner, for which®purpose he shall be authorized 1o employ necessary office help and to procure necessary printing, postage and stationery. At the proper time efforts shall be made to have planksembndymf the desired reforms in- | corporated in_the platiorms of the various po- litical parties. The Legislature of 1897 shall be asked to pass the desired bills. From this the question arose as to whether it would be the proper thing to define a modus- operandi of the cowmmit- tees pushing their investigations. “I do not believe it is necessary to be in too great haste,” said 8. Nickelsburg. “Taxation is a matter that requires years to adjust and I do not think that now we should formulate any plan of action. We ered Ly the topics assigned to the other three | | might make mistakes by so.doing and to | make a mistake now would be the greitest error we could commit.” s Louis Saroni moved that a committee of three be appointed by the chair, that would first investigate and then formulate a plan of action. The motion was carried and William H. Bunker, Hugh Craig and S. Nickelsburg were appointed. “I do not agree with Mr. Nickelsburg,” said Mr. Jacobs, * that we have a quantity of time on our hand. I believe that this organization is similar to those large and powerful associations of the East, where s0 many commercial pursuits are repre- sented as a unit. I believe that the one who submitted the resolutions was well informed when he suggested engaging the services of a newspaper man, for nothing can be successful unless it be well agitated. *“The conventions meet in June or July and it is necessary for this committee to formulate its lines as soon as possible. No political party could wish policy refuse the just requests that we might ask, and it is necessary for us to get in ahead of time and then our objects will be at- tained.” 5 “The committee should not scatter its efforts,” said the chairman; “nor should it go outside the lines of taking off the bur- dens of shipping and spend too much time on harbor improvements. We will | be more successful if we concentrate on one thing.” “I believe,” said Mr. Craig, “that the obstructions in our harbor is a matter of great importance to shipping, and that the committee on unspecified matters is competent to attend to it.” “We have a harbor of immense valye,” said Captain Thayer, “but it is béing ruined by a system of dredgipg that has been going on for some time. Everythin, dredged from tne harbor is dumped of Goat Island. This committee on unspeci- fied matters will have an immense volume of business to attend to, and I think their labors should be more definitely stated.” “They can take up any maiters at all affecting the harbor,” said Mr. Parsons, “but. I deprecate the assumption of too many things at once. 1t would be hard to pin the committee down to exact latitude, yet it will from the context be cognizant of anything pertaining directly to com- merce, and this, of course, embraces a wide range of subjects.”” The meeting was adjourned until next Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The members of the four committees will be appointed by the chairman at a future date. KNIGHTS ATTORNEYSHIP. The Legality of His Position Argued in the Courts. Rights of the Governor\ to Appoint Counsel for the Board of Health. The contest of Denis Spencer for the position mnow occupied by George A. Knight as attorney for the Board of Health came up on demurrer before Judge Seawell yesterday. The demurrer was filed by | the defendant, Knight, to the complaint | of Spencer, and was made on general | grounds. Ex-Judge J.J. de Haven appeared for | Mr. Knight, and Garret McEnerney, | assisted by W. W. Foote, represented Mr. | Spencer. Judge de Haven opencd the argument with a short explanation of the single point upon which the defendant in the suit rested his case. The statute creating the attorney for the Section-1 reads as follows: The oflice of attorney for the State Board of Heaith and the Board of Health of the City and County of San Franciseo 1s hereby created; such attorniey shall be appointed by the Gov- ernor, and shall hold his office as such attorney for the term of jour years, and until his suc- cessor is elected and qualified. Judge de Haven argued that the provis- ion in the law that the attorney should hold until his successor waselected meant until he was elected by the people, and as | no election by the people was ever held, | and as there was no law authorizing one | to be held, Mr. Knight would centinae in | his office indefinitely. On behalf of Mr. Spencer, Mr. McEn- erney argued, first, that the statute clearly provided that the office should be filled by appointment by the Governor, and that the word “elected” in the act meant “‘chosen” or “selected” or “‘appointed,” as the case might be, and was only intended at the expiration of the four years to keep the incumbent in office until his successor should be chosen. It was next claimed by the plaintiff’s counsel that even if the Legislature did in- tenda that the office should be filled by elec- tion, the Legislature did not provide any means for filling it, and that if it did not provide means for filling it by election, the Governor would appoint under section 873 0f the Political Code, which proviaes tuat where no mode is provided by law for filling the ofiice, the Governor shal! be the appointing power thereto. The third and last argument upon this point was that the constitution provided that the Legislature should never fix the term of any office for a longer veriod than four years, and that a law which said a man should hold four years and thereafter until the Legislature should by law pro- vide a means of filling the office by elec- tion, would be unconstit:tional and void under the decision in People vs. Perry, 79 | Cal., 105, where a law fixing the term of the members of the Boatd of Health at five years was held to be unconstitutional. It was further arzued on Mr. Spencer’s behalf that the office was not abolished. The case was submitted and a decision is expected at an early day. e Y ed b To Open the Cliff House.
