BARCELONA, Spa1x, Feb. 14.—Further re-enforcements to tie number of 2280 troops sailed from this port for Cuba to-day. WILMINGTON, Der., Feb. 14.—The steamer Commodore, the recent career of which has created much interest in Cuban and Spanish as well as in American circles, steamed from this harbor to-night with clearance papers indicating that she was bound for Charleston. Her cargo, which is in part of arms and | ammunition, with a considerable quantity of stores, leads to the impression that she is elsewhere bound. Though she leit at an hour approaching midnight there was a small crowd on the docks to bid her *‘bon voyage.” and they cheered her as she left the port. The Commodore returned the compliment with the conventional marine blasts of the whistle. The Commodore carries a crew comple- ment to a vessel of her class, and is com- manded bv Captain Hughes of the Laurada. One of her engineers is Jeff Smith, who was chief engineer of the Brazilian warship Nictheroy. g AN APPEAYL TO SEXTON. Timothy Hedly Asks Him to Lead Anti- Parnellites. LONDON, Exc., Feb. 14. — Timothy Healy, M. P,, who is the leader of the Insh faction known as Healyites, has writ- ten to Thomas Sexton appealing to him to accept the leadership of the anti-Par- nellites, a position which Mr. Sexton re- cently refused to accept, although it was by Baron Marschal von Beiberstein, Ger- han Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Lord isbury, Prime Minister and Secretary | Foreign Affairs of Great Britain, in regard to the troubles in South Africa.

Mrs. Gresham learns of Japanese Es- teem for Her Husband. | CHICAGO, Irr., Feb. 14.—Mrs. Walter | Q. Gresham has received the following let- ter from 8, Kurino, the Japanese Minister | at Washington, as an accompaniment to | the gifis recently sent to her by the Em- | peror of Japan: “His Imperial Majesty, my sovereign, | has been pleased to signify his high ap- | the {friendship invariably | displayed by your beloved husband, Wal- ter Quinton Gresham, toward Japan. His Majesty values greatly the manifestation of those sentiments of good will to-which your husband, in his high office of Secre- | tary of State, never failed to give practical expression whenever suitable opportunity | offered, and has been graciously pleased | | also to signify hisappreciation of the amia- | ble and helpful intercourse which the Secretary always maintained with me as | ‘‘As a token of this feeling of apprecia- | tion his Imperial Majesty has com- manded, through his excellency, the Min- ister of the lmperial Household, thata | roli of Gobelin t:lpeslry and a pair of | enamel vases should be presented to you. | These articles are from among the valued | possessions of his Majesty the Emperor, and I 'ave great satisfaction in carrying | out his gracious pleasure.” | Mrs. Gresham is naturally much grati- | fied that the late Secretary .of State should be held in so much esteem in high places. D NO CURE Fonr LEPROSY. That Is the Opinion of Dr. A. C. Smith of Ontario. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb, 14.—A special from Ottawa, Ontario, says: An effort is being made to induce the Dominion Gov- | ernment to transfer the nine lepers now | held in restraint in British Columbia to the new lazaretto recently erected &t a cost of $20,000 at Tracadie, New Brunswick. In | this institution there are nine male and xteen female patients. Three died dur- | the past year. or many years Dr. A. C. Smith has been in charge of this institution. Re- garding the result of his experience with lenrous patients he says: “‘No real cure for leprosy has yet been discovered. My predecessor, Dr. Nichol- son, and after -him myself, have treated several of our lepers with colored water to see if the influence of the mind over the body would cause a change, anda in every instance it d# so. For a time all symp- toms of the disease were in abeyance, and there was a decided improvement, but of course only for a time, and it seemed to me that the disease made up for lost time afterward.” alispgh R Prosperity of the Northwest. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 14.—Sir Wil liam Van Horne, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, was in the city yesterday, on his way to Nassau, West Indies. He said: “The grain crop of the Northwest, Manitoba, for instance, last season yielded between 65,000,000 and 70,000,000 bushels, and the prospects for that commodity are equally good. Our local business is enor- mous, lfufic being plentiful, and we are not cutting rates to get it.”’ —_— Sunfield’s Severe L SUNFIELD, Micu., Feb. 14.—Fire to- night destroyed G. G.

FOUNTAIN GROVE ESCAPES CENSURE Sonoma’s Grand Jury Will Not Mention Mary Harris. NOTHING TO CONDEMN. Breaking a Child’s Heart Is Not a Crime in the Eyes of the Law. KANAI NAGASAWA'S REGIME.

Nagasawa isshort, stout and phlegmatic. He has a face that is neither good nor bad; but it is certainly not the face of an ascetic—rather one of the man who counts his money carefully. He is reputed to be worth over $1,000, CENTI‘:L HILL SHUT DOWN. Amador’s Only Extensive Hydraulic Mine Forced to Suspend Operations. ANGELS CAMP, CAL., Feb. 14.—The Central Hill, located at° Douglas Flat, the only extensive hydraulic mine in this county, has been closed down by order of Captain Gillette, the Government engi- neer. It is thought tbat some technical requirement was not complied with, and that the owners will be able to arrange for the immediate resumption of hydraulick- ing. Meantiwe they re stuicing. The mine is sixty miles{rom navigation, and there is no testimony to show that any injury bas been done. “Although com- Earatively poor mer, the three owners ave expended years of labor in running a tunnel and building flumes and dams, and this was the first time they were equipped for a full season’s work. The stoppage of the mine even temporarily entails a %arge loss, as the water season is short, and it is considered a great injustice by our people. St 1. 0. O. F. Celebration at Fresno. FRESNO, CaL., Feb. 14.—A grand anni- versary installation and banquent in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Fresno Lodge No. 186, I. 0. O. F., took place here last night. Grand Master P. F. Gos- B. M. SPENCER. [Reproduced from a photograpl.} will be an spades and their right names, but there will be no mention in it of the death of little Mary Harris at the Fountain Grove community. The sensational features of that tragedy have all been exhausted, and no well-in- formed person believes that there is any ground upon which to base a criminal accusation against any member of the colony. Those in this city who are personally acquainted with Thomas Lake Harris, the community’s founder and ‘its primate, speak in the highest terms of him. Judge Temple is his friend, and was one of the signers of a document which declared as vicious and false the accusations brought outspoken report, in which | against Harrls by Miss Chevalier about three years ago. But since then Harris has resided in New York, living in quiet with his wife and a few congenial friends in a handsome house on upper Broadway, and enjoying the society and confidence of intellectual and thoughtful men, among them William Dean Howells, and during his absence Fountain Grove has been un- der the management of the Japanese Kanai Nagasawa. Perhaps in former days Nagasawa had dreams and visions of higher things than commercial prosperity, but to all appear- ances those dreams and visions have passed now and the vice-primate is a busi- ness man—a good one, perhaps, but only that. Certainly Fountain Grove has pros- pered in a financial way under his man- agement and its wines and fruits are fa- mous, but to all external appearances the Grove is now spiritually and esthetically dead. It looks commonplace. The grounds are not picturesque and the un- productive parts aré not cared for. Foun- tain Grove is a busiress préposition to- | day, and doubtless its little, shrewd-faced, black-eyed manager does not regret the free advertising it has been getting. It was, however, a sorry home for a bright, sensitive, sympathetic girl of 16 summers, with neither parent, sister nor friend in which to confide her hopes, her fears, her joys. Indeed, of joys she had none, and eventually hope left her, so secure was her imprisonment, so harsh and restrictive ap- pears to have been her treatment. However, it is no crime to break a ‘girl’s. heari; and then, again, there may be even another side to this story, for most stories are two-sided. “We investigated the matter very care- fully, I think,”” said B. M. Spencer, fore- man of the Grand Jury, to-day, ‘“‘and we are satisfied that we have not warrant sufficient to even censure the Fountain Grove people in the matter of the death of Mary Harris. My own opinion is that they were too strict and rigid in their treatment of the girl, but even that is merely an opinion, and I could not state it as a fact. The Grand Jury will make no report in the matter whatever. Its mem- bers do not entertain any suspicions against the inmates.” One thing that will surely tend to in- crease the hostility of the outer world, or as much of it as pays any attention to the matter, against the Grove management is the fact that all the white employes at the community are being replaced by Japan- ese. BStill, this is not a very sensational thing in itself, seeing that the manager is himself a native born Japanese. It may be, as some claim, that Nagasawa’s chief object in employing only Japanese ‘labor is to preserve a greater secrecy concerning the affairs at the Grove. Indeed Nagaa- wa's own attitude corrobarates this view to some extent. To-day a Carr correspondent went out to the Grove and sought an interview with | the vice-primate. This hefirmly declined | other things will be called by | brey and Grand State Secretary George T. Shaw are here. After severgl initiations the Grand Lodge degrees were conferred upon all past grands of the Jocal lodge. A grand banquet and merrymaking is now under way at Spinney Hall. YOLO WINE IN DEWANG Orders for Large Consignments Come for San Francisco and the East, Predictions That the Coming Season Will Be One of Prosperity for Vineyardists. WOODLAND, Cav., Feb. 14.—Yolo wine is coming into great demand. A short time ago an order was received from the metropolis by one local company for 30,- 000 gallons of port wine. It gave such sat- isfaction to the purchasers that they im- mediately forwarded another order for 26,000 gallons. Two cars will be loaded every day until the order is filled. Nego- tiations are now pending for the sale of 20,000 gallons of sweet Muscsat wine, Wine-dealers are of the opinion that the coming séason will be one of unusual prosperity for the industry in California. Heretofore the producer has been com- velled to hunta ‘market, and the whole- sale dealers have been very timid about making any contracts. But now the situ- ation has changed. Not oniy the San Francisco dealers but Eastern merchants are traveling over the country and are eager in their search for good wine in large quantities. ——— RECEIVED FATAL BURNS. Miss Marcia Farnham Dying as the Result of @ Lamp Explosion. WOODLAND, Carn, Feb. 14.—Miss Marcia Farnhanr, a daughter of Mr, and Mrs. David Farnham of this county, lies at the point of death at her home two miles west of Woodland.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Farnham were severely burned in their efforts to afford instant relief. 5 Miss Farnham’s arms were badly blistered, and her lower limbs burned almost to a‘crisp. The father of the young lady to-day expresses no hope for her Tecovery. S Ligett of Tremont Discharged. WOODLAND, CaL., Feb. 14.—The ex- amination of B. F.

Seosgale Wong Lee Still at Large. ‘WOODLAND, CAL., Feb. 14.—Wong Lee, who made s murderous attack upon a fel- low-countryman in Chinatown last night, has not yet been apprebended. The affray resulted in a dispute over a game of cards while both Mongols were under the in- fluence of liquor. Wong Lee attacked his victim with ‘a dagger, inflicting an ugly scalp wound that will in all likelihood re- sult fatally. BIG GAME IN MONTEREY BAY. A Whale Gets Entangled ‘in the Nets of a " Fisherman. RICH HARVEST OF OIL. Dynamite Used to Put a Quietus to the Unfortunate - Leviathan. SEAL AND THRASHER SHARK. New Arrivals Which Are Distracting Attention From the Schools of Salmon. SANTA CRUZ, CaL, Feb. 14.—A whale was killed in Monterey Bay to-day, and 500 salmon were taken. The excitement of killing a whale and capturing the fish was enhanced by the appearance at the outer edge of the bay of a number of seals that had followed the whales that have been here for several days in numbers ranging from a dozen to twenty. One of the boats re- turning from the scene of the whaling in- cident was followed by a thrasher shark. The whaie had become entangled in some sea-bass nets set about half way between here and Capitola last night. .It is be- lieved by the fishermen that thrasher sharks had attacked the whale, ana in its efforts to escape it had become fast in the nets, The nets belonged to W. D. Gore of Capitola, and, claiming the whale as his property, he proceeded with his men to take the big fellow out. A long piece of gaspipe, with a sharp, pointed end, was loaded in the point with dynamite. The hide of the whale was opened with a knife and the pipe driven into its body. Then the explosive was touched off, and the big fish sank to the bottom of the bay. It will rise withina 1 few days, when the captors will tow the carcass in and secure the oil. The whale was forty-seven feet long, and will yield about twenty barrels of oil. This will not pay for the nets destgoyed, they being worth about $100. There has been much excitement kere over the incident, and that, with the fact that the seals were seen, has drawn the at- tention of some of the local fishermen from the salmon, but the visitors coming in from San Francisco and other cities and towns will keep alive that sport. The beach was crowded to-day with visitors, who had beeu attracted by the story of the seal and the whale, bat the latter were too far away to be seen from any point on shore. Salmon can now be taken easily with a trolling line, and that is a favorite method. There will be a great many boats out to- morrow .with trollers. There is no doubt of the presence along the coast, between here and New Year's Island, of large num- bers of seal, as shown by the big catch made by the Eppinger, whi¢h left this harbor on Tuesday afternoon to return to the seal grounds. That boat had on board over 400 skins, and reported sealing in that region as being very good. A4 WARNING FROM KEDLANDS. Republicans Urged to Keep Clear of San Francisco Bosses. REDLANDS, Car., Feb. 14.—Under the heading of “Republicans, be Careful,” the Citrograph will to-morrow publish the following ecitorial : To-Gay, in San Francisco, the executive com- mittee of the Republican State Central Com- mittee meets 1o prepare & call for the State convention which will select delegates to the National Convention. From the dispatehes it would seem thet there is lkely to be a row over the basis of apportionment. One dis- patch says: “It is understood that the country members of the State Central Committee wid make a dead set against the City, and that San Fran- cisco will be shorn of & z0og deal of its power in the convention. If the Estee vote is taken as & basis of the apportionment, the representa- tion to be-one delegate for each'150 votes, San Francisco-will have but 138 delegates, while on the Harrison vote she will have 164.” At the last election the basis of representa- tion was the vote cast for Bard for Presidential elector, and not the vote cast for Markham four years previously. San Franeisco politi- clans do not like the idea of placing the repre- sentation.on the basis of the Estee vote, as, after having forced his nomination on' the people, that Ciy failed to cast as many Repub- ican votes py 3801 as she did in the Harrison campaign.

An Outlet for the Lumber Along the | Little, Klamath and Smith Rivers. EUREKA, CaL., Feb. 14.—The deeds to the Vance railroad for rights of way have all been secured and, since the injunction suit brought against the new corporation by Korbel Bros.of the Arcata and Mad River Railroad Company has been dis- posed cf, nothing stands'in the way of the early completion-of the road to the ter- minus at Samoa, across the bay from Kureka. A construction train has been put on and 150 men are grading. | ‘When this road is extended, as it will be, 1o Trinidad, Kiamath snd finally to Cres- cent City, it will bring an immense traffic to Eureka. The shipping, however, will have to be done from the Samoa side of the bay on account of the great depth of water in that channel. When completed, the road will bring the timber and Iumber along the Little, Klamath and Smith rivers to Humboldt Bay for shipment. This is the only harbor along the coast where vessels can safely load lumber in rough weather, and since this road will tap the pine timber belt north of here, as well as extensive redwood tracts, Eureka, instead of being a port devoted almost ex- clusively to the shipment of redwood lum- ber, will have pine interests as well, and be less dependent upon the ups and downs in the market for redwood lumber. The road will be finished about May 1, at which time four trains per day will con- nect Eureka with Arcata and adjacent towns. T e Angels Ca:np Miner Robbed.
