The truth of the whole affair is that the censorship of the press and telegraph se vice is as strict in the Transvaal as itisin | the domain of the Czarand the imprisoned men, like their sympathizers still without | the dungeons, have been unable to let the | world know of their troubles. | Two cablegrams reached here yesterday | evening, however, sent to Harry T. Cres- well and Harry I. Thornton from New- castle, Natal, which by their contents and their intimation would lead to the belief that the situation of the imprisoned-Amer- icans and their immediate prospects are entitled to speedy consideration by the Government of the United States. Both cablegrams are from Joseph Storey Curtis, who has been in South Africa as a mining man for nearly five years. That his absence from this country has caused him to be ‘“‘out of the world” is evinced by the fact that ore of his cablegrams is addressed to Colonel H. I. Thornton, who has been dead nearly a year. Itreads: NEWCASTLE, Natal. Colonel Thornton, San Francisco: 1 earnestly beg you to use your influence to protect Ham- mond from the consequences of the mistake which has been made by others in this unfor- tunate business. He is not guilty and has been wrongfully confined in jail for the last ten cays, and the Transvaal Government refuses to admit him to bail. 3 CURTIS. The other cablegram read: NEWCASTLE, Netal. Judge Creswell, San Francisco: Exert your in- fluence to help Hammond. He is confined with sixty of us in the Pretoria jail. He has been taken as one of the ringleaders, and un- less some radical measures are taken by our Government he will be made to suffer for the sins of others, for which he is in no way re- eponsible. E CURTIS. Upon the receipt of these two messages Mr. Creswell sent the following message: SAN FrANCISCO, Jan. 22, 1896, Senator William M. Stewart, Washington, D. A csble to me from Curtis, Johannesburg, Af- tica, says Hammond will suffer unless radical measures are taken by our Government. Please do all you can in the matter. HARRY T. CRESWELL. In speaking on the subject of the mes- sages he had received, Mr. Creswell stated that he believed the Americans who were imprisoned were in a very serious predica- ment. “You see,” he said, *‘the cablegrams have bad to be sent from beyond the boundary line of the Transvaal. Natal is not within Kruger's dominion, and we may accredit to that the fact that we now get Curtis’ messages.” Two other cablegrams are now at the tel- egraph office awailing Attorney John Garber and Michael Tarpey, showing that in his endeavor to free himseif and his friends, Mr. Curtis is freely touching the wire where he believes his most influential {riends may be reached. Mr. Curtis, who has been heard from, is Joseph Storey Curtis, a son of George Ticknor Curtis, who was mentioned by Daniel Webster as one of the men to write up his life. His father was at one time a Justice of the United States Supreme Court and a great law writer. Joseph Btorey Curtis is a grand-nephew of Benjamin R. Curtis, and is also a nephew of W. W. Storey, the law writer, poet and sculptor, who designed the Key monument now adorning Golden Gate Park. 4 Killed on Defective Cars. Mary Madigan is suing the Southern Pacific Company for $25,000 damages for the death of her son, Francis Madigan, on February 16, On Tuesday night the officers made a | raid on the place, and besides arresting | the young suspects they found a complete equipment of burglars’ tools, but no stolen | property. None of the boys are over 16 years of age and the youngest 1s not more than 12 Whether the police will be able to prove any more than their possession of the | burglars’ kit of tools is ‘at present prob- lematical, FOURYOUTHFUL FODTPAIS Ernest Garriock, a Boy, Held Up Twice Within the Past Ten Days. Two of the Young Deperadoes Are Arrested and Charged With an Assault ‘to Rob. Ernest Garriock, a boy about 13 years of age, who lives with his mother, a widow, at 1128 Valencia street, where she keeps a laundry, has, according to a statement made by him to the police, been twice the victim of boy footpads within the past ten days. » A week ago Monday he was going home when he was held up by four boys, and a whistle was forcibly taken out of his pocket and a 10-cent piece was overlooked, The second hold-up was of a more thril- ling nature. On Saturday night about 7 o'clock he was walking along Twenty-sec- ond street, and, when between Mission and Valencia, four boys, each about 15 years of age, ran out of a doorway. Two of them grabbed him by the arms, one caught hold of his legs and the fourth held 2 knife at his throat, and, in blood-curd- ling tones, warned him not to make the slightest noise on pain of having his throat cut. The boy footpad with the kniie then searched his pockets, but found nothing, and the four vanished in the darkness. Garriock com%lnined to Captain Gillin and Lieutenant Burke at the Seventeenth- street station, and gave a description of the four boys, and said two of them were Cyril Martin, known as *‘Babe” Martin, and KEd Farnsworth, who live in the vicinity of the robbery. He did not know the other two, but Policeman Feeney thought he knew them,and he was in- structed to bring them in. Yesterday morning Sergeant Mooney took Garriock to Judge Conlan’s court and got him to swear to warrants for the arrest of Martin and Farnsworth. “Martin” was arrested yesterday afternoon by Bergeant Mooney and Policeman Feeney, and booked at the Seventeenth-street station on the charge of assault to rob, and Farns- worth was arrested last night by the sama officers and booked on the same charge. The hrother of Cyril Martin was also ar- rested, but Garriock said he was not one of the robbers, and ‘he was released from cuse tody. e Greenswelg Insolvent.

M. —_—————— Captains in the English army get as | ous business. | mated in the communication that nothing | the regimental subdivisions, if any, and the strength of such regiments, particu- larlv the strength of companies, character and condition of equipments and a host of other features of the soldierly make-up, were all enumerated and answers re- qu ested. The ad jutant-general’s department was shaken up considerably in the inner pre- cincts wnen the ominous message was opened. Governor Budd immediately in- formed the officials in charge of the Sacra- mento military office and ordered that they get together at once and determine the coraition of the Guard as indicated from the latest reports received from brigade and regimental statiors through- out the State. The available generals were sent for and the State’s council of war went to work. Thnere was a_good bit of figuring done, because the War Depart- ment did not merely want to know how many soldiers California has, but how many the State could spare and still leave an_effective force for the protection of ,things at home. 5 % During the consultation the strictest measures were taken that nothing should leak out about the nature of the momen The War Department inti- of the affair should be divulged. The de- partment wished to secure the information without the knowledge of military men excepting those in the very highest places, and particulariy was the matter to be kept from the general public. Had it not hap- ened that the news came to this City rom an authoritative but unofficial source yesterday it might yet have been a secret. After considerable discussion the Gov- ernor and the few oflicers with him de- cided that twenty companies could ba furnished to the National Government immediately. In case, however, that the troops were required within forty-eight hours the commanding officers would re- quire an authorization to draw upon the quartermaster’s department at the Pre- sidio for haversacks and canteens. As far as other equipments, tentage and appurtenances necessary for field service are concerned, the State force is well enough supolied. The adjniant-general estimated that this available force would number about 2050 men, which means that each of the twenty companies would have a membership-roll of 100 names snd also have the full complement of officers. This was the gist of the message wired to the Secretary of War on Tuesday by Governor Budd and Adjutant-General Barrett. It only took a few hours yesterday for the news to get around among the officers in town. There were all sorts of rumors abroad about the efficiency of the force, or the lack of it, and speculation upon the sort of work to which the State troops would be assigned. While the in- quiry is known to be only one of the larie number sent around the country, it has, nevertheless, stirred the National Guard people to action already. Captain Carrington, the inspector sent here by the War Department to remain perma- nently with the National Guard of the State, has already left on an extended tour of inspection throughout the State. Itis declared in military circles that a number of companies will be mustered out before the inspection is concluded. It will be the most rigid overhauling the service ever experienced, and the first time in its history that the entire work wiil have been done by one inspector. SIS FIELD OFFICERS. Orders Issued to Hold Elections in the National Guard. Under special orders from brigade head- quarters elections_have been ordered to be held on the following dates: Monday, January 27, for second lieutenant, Company B, First Infantry, N. G. C., at_their armory,” Majof Murphy to preside. Friday, January 31, for lieutenant-colonel and majors of Firsi Regiment Infantry, at_armory, corner Page and Gough streets, Major Dorn to preside.

But this was not a great inconvenience. He and his friends enjoyed the freedom of the prison office and the hospitality, at meal times, of the prison-keeper’s table. Jimmy —otherwise James D. Page—is under in- dictment by the Grand Jury on a charge of embezzling over $4000 of funds belong- ing to an insane ward, but this fact ¢id not seem to cast a shadow on the levee of yes- terday. Althouch the State of California paid Jimmy's fare back from New York and he traveled in company with Detect- 1ve Anthony, who had been sent out with # warrant to bring him back, Jimmy smiled and shook hands with his friends yesterday, and there was a cordial feeling inside the City Prison that seemed, to an uninterested spectator, rather out of keep- ing with the surroundings. Jimmy has had his fling at the world, and the chances are that nis days of high rolling are not yet ended. He ha: iriends left among the lesser poli and doubtless the “‘pull” will be exerted to the limit. Althouch it would seem that he has reached about the end of an unsuccessful career it is still too early for the moralist to point him out as a living example. He is still a young man and the end is not yet. The career of James D. Page in this City opened under most favorable anspices. He was born in San Francisco, educated itted to the bar. He entered politics at bnoe, and _in 1887 was elected Justice of the Peace. He was very popular at that time. ‘When his term as Justice of the Peace had expired, he was elected District Attor- ney of the City and County and served a full term in that responsible office, being succeeded by the incumbent, Mr. Barnes, in 1891. During his term in the District Attorney’s oftice, Page married the daughter of the late Faul Shirley of Martinez. About this time he began to be known as a high roller. Wine was his beverage and his friends began to increase rapidly. In the Republican convention of ’92, he sought the nomination for Judge of the Buperior Court, his_ life-long friend, now Judge Hebbard, being his opponent. Defeated 1 the convention, Page sought revenge on his erstwhile friend, and dur- ing the campaign he played an active }l;:td{ruitle:s part in trying to defeat Heb- *‘It was then he lost his real friends,” said an official at the City Hall yesterday. *'We looked upon it as the act of a traitor to his party, and the leading spirits in it would have nothing more todo with him.” ‘The success of his opponent at the polls seemed to embitter Page, for he drank more than ever and opened more wine in the tenderioin districts. Then his wife se- cured a divorce, and after that Jimmy Page went to pieces very fast, his friends say. He looked well and strong yesterda, in'the City Prison, and as_thougt he ha refrained " from his old-time dissipations during his wanderings in the East. He re- fused to talk about himself or his case, but said he was glad to get back here again and see his ofd friends. e e e The Ghirardelli Will. The contest of the will of Domingo Ghirar- delli has been beiore Judge Coffey for several days. Mrs. Domingo Barbagellata is the con- testant. She claims to be a deughter of Ghirar- delli. The counter allegation is made that Mrs. Barbagellata is the daughter of Mrs. Ghi- rerdelli by a former husband, Dr. Martino. In the will there were mentioned but six children and Mrs. Barbagellata, claiming to be a sev- enth child, took exception to the reflection u{on herself and brought suit to break the Wwill. She was left by the will $2000 and the heirs increased this allowance to $5000. She uow wants to vindicate her position as Ghirar- dell’s child and to secure au even one-seventh of the estate. The propertv is worth $200,000. ——————— ans Sebastopol Was Not Impregnable, For it was taken by assault, but a physique buflt up, a constitution fortified by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, may bid defiance to the “assaults 0f mula- rious disease even in localities where it is most prevalent and malignant.
