THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1onn xUUUe A SCHWEINFURTH AT SALT LAKE, Israel Dennis and His So- Called “Heaven” Come to Grief, CAUGHT AFTER FLIGHT. Husbands of Women Whom He Victimized Cause His Arrest. HE HAD POSED AS A DEITY, Fled With Three Female Converts, but Was Captured and Brought Back. SALT LAKE, Uran, Jan. 26.—About six months ago a man named Israel F. Dennis appeared in Salt Lake from nobody knows where. He ¢ med to be an incarnation of the Deity and to be the possessor of all the attributes of the Almighty. He was looked upon as a harmless crank and nobody paid much attention to him first. He erected alarge tent in the s of the city and commenced hing, and after a time drew consid- erable audiences, chiefly of the more i, at ght that he had come as the ankind and a peculiar tenet of ne was that thousands of women ula set themselves apart or be spirit- v sealed to him. He did not succeed in getting women in the numbers that he wished, but it now appears that he duped quite a few, and several married women without the knowl- edge of their husbands became converts to his faith, Investigation by the officers of the law shows that Dennis had established a little lony patterned after that of the notori- Sehwei h of Rockford, Iil. He had a dozen or more women who either lived with him or visited very frequently as grown to ions of a public scandal. On Saturday a warrant for Dennis’ ar- ued on a serious charge upon information laid by W. T. Robinson, who avers that Dennis has robbed him of his ous wife. He was ac ed of other offenses, in connection with which married women were mentioned. Deanis fled with Mrs. Robinson, a Mrs. ian and his own wife. They were cap- , about thirty miles from ht, brought back and placed s denies the charges, says om is a spiritnal one and that he i a cel 1 heaven on earth. THE SICRAMENTD MAGING Breaks in the Levees That May Divert the River From Its Channel. The Yolo Basin Bank Full and a Swift Current Is Still Rushing In. SACRAMENTO, Car., Jan. 26.—FE. E. Le: , Commissioner of Public Works, and Engineer Pearson, with party of other gentlemen, made a trip up the Sacra- mento River to-day as far as the mouth of the Feather River in a naphtha launch for the purpose of examining the breaks in the levees. It was found that near Ver- non, where the worst break exists, an enormous volume of water is leaving the river and is flowing through the Yolo basin. At this point not only are the levees gone entirely, but the water has cut through to the bedrock and is wearing a channel into the tules which, if not checked, will eventually result in the Sac- ramento River being almost entirely di- verted from its channel and put a stop to navigation, as in the Yolo basin the water spreads over such a wiath of territory that it would be simply impossible to get depth enough for traffic steamers to ply. Out in the Yolo basin the water is higher than it has been in years and is flowing in a current fully a rapid as the body of water in the river proper. To & certain extent the breaks in the levee have as yet acted beneficially, inasmuch as they have served as a conduit for the extra water in the river, and in this way have averted all danger from a levee overflow in this local- | ity or flood to the city. Nor has the damage to the reclaimed lands up and down the river as yet been great, but owing to the fact that the Yolo basin has as much water as it can con- veniently retain if the present storm con- tinues there can be no possible doubt but that the frail back levees which protect the reclaimed districts must give way and that will mean untold damage and dis- aster. Itis stated thata warm rain is falling high up in the snow belt and that the snow is melting rapidly. This will in- crease the volume of water in the Feather River which has been receding the past few days and again tend to obstruct rail- road traflic, and will also insure great damage to the reclaimed districts. Pt e MINING BOOM AT PLACERVILLE. Gold Washed Out Everywhere by the Tor- rents— Excited Citizens. PLACERVILLE, Can,- Jan. 26.—The rainfall of the season reaches twenty-five inches. To-night it is pouring in torrents, The temperature is sixty degrees. The rain has been a boon mnot only to ranchers and miners, but to individuals by scores, who during cessation of the rains are scraping gravel from the wagon tracks in the sloping streets of the town and gatbering fine and coarse gold. On the road north to Kelsey men pan- ning from the ruts of highways realize from four to twelve bits per day, On the road south through Diamond Springs and El Dorado and on the road from Diamond, by and beyond the Larkin mine, following quartz seamsand stringers, men are panning from the road tracks and road ditches as much as $3 per day. The vroposition is again renewed ask- ing leave tp work the main street of Placer- ville, offering to macadamize it in lieu of the ground to be carted away and washed for the gold it contains. All" outgoing roads in every direction are lined with whites, Chineseand negroes, searching and finding gold in the wagon | enter the hotel barroom by August Coolet, | K streets, and City Attorney J. Frank tracks found after the heavyrains. Ex- citement runs high and the gold craze growing among men, women and children of Placerville and vicinity is recalling the days of forty-nine. s - RAINFALL AT MILL VALLEY. The Record for One Day, as Shown by the Rain Gauge, 2.66. MILL VALLEY, Car., Jan. 26.—The rainfall at this place is unusually heavy and the creeks are rising considerably. The wind has been blowing at a terrible rate and the roads are in wretched condi- |« The rainfall for one day last week as shown by the raingauge on the the n. ses of Tamalpais' Land and SHOWERS AT SAN JOSE. Orchardists and Grain Raisers Satisfied for the Present. SAN JOSE, CAn.. Jan. 25.—It began raining about 3 o’clock this morning and continued showering until about. 11 o’clock, .33 of an inch having fallen. This makes a total of 7.22 inches for the season, against 17.13 inches to the same date last season. Orchardists and grain farmers from all portions of the county report a sufficient rainfall for all present purposes. Nearly all the seeding had been done prior to the late storm, and the rain will bring it for- ward in great shape. : The streams are full of water, and irri- gation ditches can be operated to their | full capacity. Many people who had in- tended to plant new orchards had become quite discouraged, but they feel all right now and have commenced planting. Ev- erybody in the country districts are per- fectly satisfied with the condition of things at the present date CRIME AT SICRAMENTO, Fatal Termination of a Mas- querade at the William Tell House. | One Man Killed, Another Shot in the Leg and a Third in Jail Charged With Murder. SACRAMENTO, Car., Jan. 26.—There was a sad ending to a night’s revelry in this city this morning and the resultis that Hugo Klaas occupies a marble slab in the morgue, Joseph Hedeger is suffer- ing from a bullet wound in the left leg, | and John Hurley, one of the most popular young men around town, is locked up in the city prison, slated for murder. Last night the proprietors of the William Tell House, a Germar hotel on J street, tendered a masquerade ball to their | friends and patrons and the dance | continued until morning. About 6| o'clock a party of well-known young | men, emong whom were eorge Hilbert, Ed Hilbert, Bert Ripley, Frank Stover and John Hurley, were invited to | whose father owns the property, Coolet making the remark, it is stated, that he was expected to spend some money. There were drinks ordéred, over which, it is claimed, a dispute started, ending in a free fight. The young men were ejected from the barroom, and being followed and hard pressed by some of the excited revel- | ers, Hurley drew his revolver and began | shooting. | He fired ihree times, the first bullet | lodging in Hedeger’s leg, the second | passed through the door of the saloon without hitting any one, while the third passed through the door and struck Hugo Klaas, a boarder in the hotel who was coming downstairs to breakiast, directly | in the center of the abdomen, severing the | es int nes in ten places. y this time Policemen Logue and Hagans arrived and placed the party of young men under arrest. Klaas was con- veyed to a privale hospital, where he died a few hours later. The unfortunate man was born in Ger- many and was 35 years of age. He came to America several years ago | and was located in San Francisco, where he married. Klaas was a sawgrinder by occupation, and had separated from his | wife. He shortly afterward went to Kan- | sas City, where he met a young woman | named Fay Underwood, and on his return | to Sacramento a correspondence ensued ‘ between them. ‘When Klaas received a paper stating | that his wife had procured a divorce, he | wrote and proposed to Miss Underwood | who accepted him. Yesterday Klaas re- | ceived the following telegram: Left Denver to-day. Meet me in Sscramento | Wednesday at the depot. FAY UNDERWOOD., Hurley is without doubt one of the most popular young men in Sacramento, and | the jail has been crowded all day with a multitude of friends who have called to | tender him their aid in his trouble, — SUNDAY MORNING FIGHT. City Attorney Brown Roughly Handled by a Gang of Revelers. SACRAMENTO, Car., Jan. %.—There was a general fight at an early hour Sun- doy morning at the corner of Fourth and Brown, who was going home from his office, attempted to interfere and preserve the peace. While separating two of the combatants he was seized from behind by others of the crowd. He wrenched himself away and drew his revolver and the crowd scattered and ran. A few seconds later the fight recom- | menced and the City Attorney again in- terfered and commanded peace. Dur- ing his efforts to separate the men, Cook stole his revolver from his pocket and one of the bystanders izformed Mr. Brown of the fact. At this moment Policeman Maley ar- rived and captured Cook. Whileendeavor- ing to take tbe pistol from his possession Cook threatened to shoot Maley and the officer drew his own pistol and knocked him down. Cook and a companion who had been captured by the attorney were conveyed | to the police station and charged with dis- turbing the peace. el AR STABBED AND LACERATED. Result of One Man Visiting Another's Sister-in-Law. SACRAMENTO, Car., Jan. 2.—Nels Carlson was stabbed in the left breast in the region of the heart and had both his hands severely cut this evening during a fracas which occurred in the residence of Tsaac Pearson on Second, between P and Q streets. Carlson’s story is that he has been in the habit of visiting a sister-in-law of Pearson and the latter objected to his presence in his residence. This evening Carlson called and was sitting in the parlor chatting with the family when Pearson entered and with the remark, ‘‘You.here againt You seem to be living here altogether,”” drew a knife from his pocket and attacked Carlson. At the first blow struck the knife hit a rib in the region of the heart and glanced, otherwise Carison would probably not be alive to tell his story. In the strugfle which ensued Carlson’s bandsewere fcarfully lacerated. Pearson was disarmed and placed under arrest by Policeman Ash and Carlson’s wounds were dressed in the Receiving Hospital, i committee. SANTA CLARA'S BIG: WRECK, Accident Blamable to the Narrow-Gauge Train’s’ Engineer, STORY OF THE FIREMAN., Kohlhoff, the Flagman, Gave the Proper Signal, but Was Not Heeded. THE DISTANCE MISCALCULATED. Stanley Thought He Could Cross, but Discovered His Mistake When Too Late. SAN JOSE, Car., Jan. 26.—The crossing of the broad and narrow-gnage railroad tracks at Santa Clara, where a part of Sat- urday’s wreck was still in evidence, was visited by throngs of the curious to-day. By daylight the tracks were all clear for traffic, the wreckage having been reioved from the track by use of powerful der- ricks. The overturned signal box was still where it had been thrown by the force of the collision, but for some reason the semaphore, whose iron arm pointed across the narrow-gauge track at the time of the accident, had been removed. Ernest Kohlhoff, the flagman, was at his usual place at the crossing, and went qui- etly about his duties. When asked to make a statement he replied: “You've had it already. 1 signaled the narrow-gauge train to stop, but instead of | stopping it came right on. Where the engineer made his mistake I don’t know."” The statement made by Kohlhoff con- tradicts the allegation that the flagman made contradictory signals. Kohlhoff insists that he made but onesignal to En- | gineer Stanley of the narrow-gauge train and that was for him to stop. Henry ‘Wetzel, fireman for Stanley on the narrow- gauge engine, made a statement to a per- sonal friend in Santa Clara that thre flag- man gave the proper signal. ‘‘Stanley thought he could make the | crossing,”” said Wetzel, *‘and kept on going | abead. He soon saw that he couldn’t make it and tried to pull up, but it was too late. As soon asI saw that the trains were going to mix up I jumpe@roif. The | engineer had plenty of opportunity to jump, and I don't know why he didn’t, unless he thought that he could stop the | engine before it struck the other train.” C. C. Ingalis, the Gilroy orchardist, who | i was injured internally by being thrown against a seat, was visited yesterday by Dr. J. E. Trueman, one of the regularly employed surgeons of the Southern Pa- | cific Company. Dr. Trueman stated that | Ingalls’ principal injury consists of the | laceration of the inner tissues of the abdo- | minal wall. Serious complications may result, but even under the most favorable | circumstances Ingalls will be confined to | his home for several weeks. | e ACCLIMATIZATION ASSOCIATION. The First Annual Meeting of the Organ- ization-a Great Success. SAN JOSE, CaL., Jan. 26.—The first an- nual meeting of the Centra! California Ac- climatization Association was held yester- day afternoon in Judge Lorigan’s court- | room, President F. E. Spencer presiding. | Secretary’ Mackenzie read the list of} members of the executive committees of | the various counties, showing that there had been two additions and one change since the original list was published. W. H. Lawrence and George W. Lovie are additional members of the San Mateo | commitiee, and Frank L. Robinson suc- ceeds A. P. Stanton on the Santa Cruz The secretary’s report showed that much had been accomplished and altogether was of an encouraging nature. San Benito and Monterey counties were admitted into the association, and the by- laws were amended so as to admitany other county that desired to come in. It is understood that Conira Costa County has expressed a desire to join the organiz- ation. The sum of $10 was approvriated to pur- chase such seed grasses as are the natural food of the birds to be imported. Game Warden Mackenzie stated that A. C. Robinson, a dealer in San Francisco, had presented the society with a few car- dinals and nightingales. "He also reported that he would have $300 on hand by next ‘Wednesday. Of the list of birds to be se- cured not one is destructive to fruit. All except two are songbirds. The exceptions are birds of fine plumage. 8. H. Farmer of Gilroy stated he had once secured thirty-five dozen Eastern quail from Tennessee, but they all died off in a short time. He thought, however, that pheasants will do well in this section. The adjournment was taken to meet at the call of the president. The number of pheasants in captivity in this county at the present date is 125 pairs. There will be twenty-five ‘more pairs im- ported shortly, and all of the birds will be liberated about the 1st of March, RRRR s Sy FRUIT-GROWERS ACTIVE. Call Issued for a Mass-Meeting to Dis- cuss Needs of the Industry. SAN JOSE, Car.,, Jan. 26.—A mass- meeting of the fruit-growers of Santa Clara coanty has been called to meet at Turn Verein Hall on Saturday, February 8, for the purpose of discussing ways and means for extending the market and creating a demand for Santa Clara County fruit pro- ducts, The call, which is signed by a large num- ber of prominent fruit-growers, says: The necessity of earnest, deliberate efforts in the line_of market extension is conceded by ail intelligent fruit-growers. In 1895, with a crop bpelow an average for the bearing acreage, with no for- eign competition, with an export de- mand of some magnitude, and fruit of the best quality ever produced by us, the supply appears to be amply suffi- cient to meet the wants of trade and con- sumption. It is believed by many, and it is approximately true, that but one-half of the planted acreage isin bearing. It must be remembered that the prune crop of 1894 was more than three times as large as that of 1890, and that of 1897 or 1898 will be three times that of 1894, or upward of 100,000,000 pounds. o AR AN INSOLVENT LUMBERMAN., Jokn A.

SAN JOSE, Can, Jan. 26.—Commis- sioner Montgemery to-day filed his report of the testimony taken in the suit of Fanny H. Holley against Daniel Holley on the ground of desertion. They were married in this city on May 12, 1887, and lived together for one year, at the end of which time Holley deserted his wife. Holley had spent the major portion of his life on cattie ranges as a vaquero and his wife could give no other reason for his unceremonious departure than that he found city life distasteful and preferred the rough lite of a cow-puncher. There are no children and no¢ community prop- erty, and all the wife asks is an absolute divorce. BALLS FERRY HOMICIDE Rancher Lansdale of Shasta County Shot From Ambush and Killed. Slain Without Warning While Riding Along the Road With a Com- panion. REDDING, Car., Jan. 26.—A message was received by the Coroner, Joseph H. Earnest, yesterday evening, stating thata man was drowned at Balls Ferry, a small village on the Sacramento River in the southern part of this county and about eight miles from Anderson and twenty miles from this place. On reaching there the Coroner found that Pope Landsdale, who lives near Balls Ferry, had been shot by George M. Wright, who lives in Tehama County, just across the line of this county and about two miles south of Balls Ferry. On learning the facts he sent a messenger to this city for the officers. The facts of the killing as related by the messenger are: Landsdale and a young man named George Riggans were riding along the highway leading out of Balls Ferry to the south. While about a mile from town and while passing a barn near the road Wright, who was secluded in the barn, shot at Landsdale several times with a Henry rifle, literally riddling his body. He then told Riggans that he had a no- tion to shoot him for being with Lands- dale, but Riggans rode away and was not attacked. Landsdale was well known throughout this county, being & man of considerable means, but of a hard character. He leaves a widow and large family of grown-up chil- dren. He owned considerable stock and property, and was noted for being engaged in many lawsuits. Though not a lawyer he often pleaded his own cases. Itissaid that he once killed a man in Tehama County. ‘Wright is a resident of Tehama County, and little is known of him here. It is said that he zoes by the name of ‘‘Three-fin- gered George.” Constable M. Eidridge left for Balls Ferry this evening to take charge of the murderer. —_— Two Prisoners Taken to Folsom.

PACIFIC GROVE, Car., Jan. 26.—Y es- teraay seems to have been an unlucky day for the Soathern Pacific on the coast di- vision of that road. The Del Monte express that was wrecked by running into the narrow-gauge train at Santa Clara came near being derailed be- tween this place and Monterey at 9:30 o'clock Jast evening. A borse belonging in the neighbonhood had managed in some way to- pass the cattleguard and stray upon the track. It was struck by the locomotive, its legs broken and was thrown from the track and killed. SAN RAFAEL'S BOLD WRAITH. Haunts the County Jail and Terrifies the Inmates. WILLIAM ARGO’S SPIRIT. Seats Itself Upon the Edge of the Prisoners’ Bunks and Watches. STARTLED BY AN APPARITION. Lee Doon, a Condemned Murderer, Claimed He Saw the Ghost Almost i Every Night. SAN RAFAEL, CAL., Jan: 26.—There is a ghost which Launts the courthouse and particularly the county jail, which is situ- ated in the basement of Marin Couunty’s temple of justice. The apparition made its appearance this week and terrified Emilio Morales who occupies on of the cells in the jail. Morales is one of the half-breeds who robbed Megetti & Cheta’s store at Mar- shalls and is being held to answer before the Superior Court for burglary. Friday morning when Sheriff Henry Harrison unlocked the cell in which Morales was confined he found the hali- breed in a terrified state, with beads of perspiration standing upon his forehead and speechless with fright. Morales said that he had seen the ghost and he threatened to commit suicide if the Sheriff put him in the same cell again. The strange part of the circumstance lies in the fact that ‘Morales has never been in the jail before and has never heard of the stories about the courthouse ghost. It seems that some years ago a man named William Argo, discouraged and disheartened at the idea of going to San Quentin, hanged himself in the cell that Morales occupied, and ever since that time the spirit of William Argo returns to territy the poor hobo who may be locked up in the haunted jail. At one time the ghost appeared nightly, but gradually his visits grew less fre- quent, and for about a year he did not turn up, nntil he paid Morales a visit. James H. Wilkins, Marin County’s mem- ber of the Assembly, says: ““I remember well the effect the specter had on Lee Doon, the convicted murderer of W. N. Shenton. When he was first sentenced fo be hanged he disliked the idea of it ex- tremely, as most every one does, and it seemed almost impossible to brace him up. “Sheriff Harrison dropped in four or five times a day to give him the glad hand and assure him that it would be over in a min- ute, without cheering him in the slightest. Pinot of the Parisian House brought him the choicest efforts of the French cuisine, but he pushed aside the untasted dishes and said he wasn’t hungry. *‘Under Sheriff Fallon dropped in and asked him to write his name in his auto- graph album of eminent personages, but’ the ungracious Mongol merely told him to ‘go to the devil. Then Coroner Eden called and measured him for the finest coffin that money could buy, and even that didn’t comfort him. He was the hardest man to encourage that the officers ever had anything to do with. “All of a sudden, however, Argo's ghost began making cails on the condemned man and then he straightway took a different view of mortality. He even asked the Sheriff if he couldn’t hurry things up a little. “He told that official that the apparition seated itself on his bunk every night and worried and tormented him so with its speechless vigil, that be nearly went crazy by daybreak. When the fatal time arrived Lee Doon was perfectly ready to go.” it A SAN ANSELMO POACHERS. Salmon Are Being Speared in the Marin County Creek: SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Jan. 26.—Salmon are being speared in the creeks near San Anselmo and a communication will prob- ably be sent to the Fish Commissioners calling their attention to the fact. The greater amount of this spearing, which is against the law, is being done in Lagunitas Creek and a great many fish are being caugint. It is thought that the offi- cers will take some action to prevent the illegal work from going on. SUNUMAEI]_[@'S_UUTPUT Canneries and Wineries of Wind- sor and Healdsburg Are Nearly Empty. Heaviest Shipments of the Season Made From Those Towns Last Saturday. HEALDSBURG, Can., Jan. 26.—The heaviest canned goods shipment of the season was made from the Russian River cannery in this place yesterday, when eleven carloads were started East. This last sbipment makes a total for the year of fifty-two carloads, and moves all the pack of 1895. It has been many years since the canneries of this town have been so empty. Not over 500 cases out of a total of 80,000 packed last season remain un- sold. Last spring when the canneries opened for business much of the pack of 1894 re- mained unsold, and as a result operations were lighter than usual. . This spring both canneries will be en- larged, so that a busy year is looked for. The greater portion of the fruit produced in this district in 1895 was dried, and much yet remains unso!a. J. D. Bosch, manager of the California Wine Association’s plant at Wind- sor, in this county, informed a CanL representative to - day that heavy ship. ments of sweet wine would be made from now on, and that by the next wine-mak- ing season every gallon of wine in the mammoth cellars will be moved. From one to_four carloads of wine are 'hinged from Northern Sonoma every day, much of which 1s going to Eastern cities, and all sold at advanced prices, The result of the improvement in the wine business is noticeable on all sides. New vineyards are being planted and old ones grafted to resistants. The demand 1 George E. Gallagher, James F..

HEALDSBURG, Car, Jan. 2. —Edi Jagoe, who came in from his Skages Springs ranch this morning, says that salmon are running up Warm Springs | Creelk in large numbers. | Mr. Jagoe said: “I had to ford the | stream eight times in coming to town, and at every crossing 1 could see large num- bers of salmon splashing in the waters. ‘At Big Falls you could see them leap- ing about trying to get over. If I had tried I could have captured many.” Farmers living along the mountain streams all tell the same story. - They say the run of salmon is the heaviest in years. | Thearrest of Healdsburgers for violating | the fish ordinance has resulted in stopping | seining and gigging of salmon, so that trout will be plentiful this season. —_—— FLOODS AT HEALDSBURG. Bridges and Roads in the District Con- | | | siderably Damaged. HEALDSBURG, CAL., Jan. 26.—The re- cent heavy rains have done consiaerable damage to roads and bridges in this dis- trict. The Stewart’s Point road has caved in in many places, and it is reported to-day that | the board bridge crossing Dry Creek, ten | miles north of here, has gone out. This | bridge was destroyed by the high water | last winter and was rebuilt in the same place against the protest of a large num- ber of taxpayers. THE JONTA 1S STIRRING. Preparations for the Primary to Elect the New Com- mittee. | care must be taken in the using of the Arrangements to Be Made To-Night by Those in Charge of the Election. | Things are livening up in the Junta. As the impending dissolution of the present general committee approaches there is be- ginning to be some interesting speculation upon the probable results of the primary in the latter part of next month. Itisa sort of pleasurable speculation, too, for | the junta people are not greatly concerned | about anything in the line of disturbing | incidents. They appear to have settled down with the assurance that the only possible changes in the present committee | will not exceed in numbers the strength | of a district delegation. By scme mis- | chance they admit the number might rur | over twenty-five, but 1t cannot reach be- | yond thirty. If the prediction be credited | the general committee will be pretty much | the same after the primary as it is now. | Secretary McGovern was busy last night mailing cards to the gentlemen on the primary committee and to the chairmen and secretaries of the district clubs. The primary committee is to meet in the Flood building to-night. There are twenty-five of them, eighteen representing as many districts and others selected at large. They will determine upon a date for the primary | election for members of a new general | committee and in a general way make arrangements for the holding of it. It has already been suggested that the date for the primary be February 24, ana it is quite likely that the committee will act upon that suggestion. | The meeting of chairmen and secretaries of the district organizations has been ordered for to-morrow night. The idea in | having these officers come together 1s to | more completely perfect arrangements for | the primary. The action of the district of- | ficers will depend entirely upon the work done by the primary commitiee to-night. This committee’s report will be received, and from the recommendations it it some line of concerted operation will be decided upon. It is probable that the committee will decide to request Denman and Wellin, the former Election Commissioners, to name the officers of election for the dis- tricts. It was understood that they should do this part of the work when they be- came members of the commission, and now, though they are out of it, the Junta is desirous that they confer such a favor. | The headquarters of the Junta were not | abundantly filled last night.
