4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL SUNDAY, MARCH 7, 1897. STOLE TWO TEETH FROM HER MOUTH Portland Thugs Profit by a Woman's Peculiar Fad. Mrs. Calvin of San Francisco Loses Her Incisors Set With Diamonds. Is Chloroformed by the Culprits, Who Then Use a Pair of Den- tist’s Forceps. PORTLAND, Ozr., March 6.—Mrs. Cal- vin, whose husband is engaged in the commission business in San Francisco, came to Portland to visit her sister about four weeks ago. This week she uncere- moniously took her departure for home, which fact caused considerable svrprise among her acquaintances here. Repeated inquiries as to her action brought to light thé details of a most daring and peculiar robbery. Mrs, Calvin, who isa handsome woman, became & few years ago a victim of a fad that prevailed at that time. She had two valuable diamonds set in her upper front teeth, so that when she parted lips in a smile the sparkling gems shone resplen- dently. Her peculiar adornment at- tracted considerable attention while here, for it was something out of the ordinary. Mrs. Calvin was alone in her sister’s bhouse last Monday afternoon when the doorbell rang. She answered the sum- mons and admitted two men, who claimed they were plum bers sent by the owner to pect the house. Mrs. Calvin was lead- jug them to the kitchen, and when in the dining-room they seized her, placed a chloroformed handkerchief to her nose and rendered her unconscious. Then with forceps they extracted the two teeth in which the diamonds were set and left the place. Mrs. Calvin recovered and summoned assistance, but refused to allow the police authorities to take charge of the matter, objecting to the notoriety. The following evening she boarded a train for San Fran- cisco. DEATH AT MOUNTAIN VIEW. Mrs. White, Believed by Her Children to Be Sleeping, Expires on the Fioor of Her Home.

County Officials Again Fail to Convict a Chinese Lottery Proprie- tor, FRESNO, CaL, March 6.—The difficul- ties which beset the officers of Fresno in trying to put a stop to the Chinese lot- teries which are running in full blast in Chinatown were again demonstrated to- day in the trial of Ah Lee, a Mongol charged with sclling tickets.” The guilt of tne defendant was conclusively proven, but his attorneys succeeded in arousing the prejudices of six of the jurors to such an extent that they voted for acquittal. Ah Lee was represented by three of the best attorneys in tne city. Deputy Dis- trict Attorney Jones conducted a very vigorous prosecution. The District At- torney’s office has always worked hard to suppress the lot:eries, but has always had its purposes defeated by the strange con- duct of jurors. y Some of the acquitting jurors in to-day’s case are known to have been loudest in criticism of the officers for not putting a stop to the lotteries. Two witnesses swore to-day that they went to Ah Lee’s place in Chinatown and each boughta ticket from him. Deputy Constable Crutcher testified that when he arrested the defendant the latter pleaded, “Don’t arrest me; I sold those two tick- ets,” practically confessing his guilt. The officer also seized a complete outfit for the selling and marking of tickets, which he found Ah Lee presiding over when he served the warrant. The officer took pos- session of a spindle holding duplicates of the tickets Lee had sold for the next draw- ing. There were also several books of blank tickets. All this'paraphernalia was shown to the jury. The defense offered no testimony and Lee’s attorneys contented themselves with arguing before the jury. They dwelt at length upon the fact that the otuer big lotteries, such as the Honduras, were allowed to sell tickets throughout the country without molestation. The lawyers cleverly urged that the Chinese were being persecuted. This was their only defense. The jury was out for an bour and a half, at the end of which period it returned to court and announced its inability to agree, standing six for ac- quittal and six for conviction. Justice St. John then discharged the jury. i SAN DIEGO TRAGEDY. Charles H. Milgaard, a Tobacco Dealer, Cuts His Throat With a Razor. SAN DIEGO, CaL., March 6.—Charles H. Milgaard, a local tobacco dealer, com- mitted svicide to-night by cutting his richt arm and t. oat with a razor.

Political Co-Workers = Dispute Over Obligations Antedating the Election. The Man Who Defeated McLachlan Accused of Failure to Repay Lcans. LOS ANGELES, CaL., March 6.—Last summer when the Democratic Convention deadlock in the contest between George S. Patton and L. J. Rose for the Congres- sional nomination .ended in the with- drawal of the principals there was none s0 eloguent in behalf of any candidate as was J. Marion Brooks in urging upon the assembled faithful the name of Ubarles A. Barlow. Barlow bad been nominated by the Populists at San Luis Obispo a few days prior to the Democratic Convention in this city. Brooks championed Barlow’s fight in the Democratic Convention, and in a speech of great fervor elaborated on the wisdom of breaking the deadlock by indorsing the “‘Fariner Statesman.” The convention did not agree with Brooks, but instead nominated Harry Patton. The latter was afterward relegated and Barlow was substituted on the Democratic ticket. His election by a small majority followed. Brooks worked early and late for ‘‘Hon- est Charley’’ Barlow, and now Brooks is suing Barlow for $4000. Brooks filed his suit here this aiternoon. He alleges that during the past two years he has loaned Barlow various sums aggre- gating $2000, and has also given him ad- vice and rendered him other valuable ser- vices worth $2000 more. He, therefors, asks judgment against the Congressman for $4000. e LIABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS. Supreme Court Decides an Appealed Case Against a Kansas Raiway Company. LOS ANGELES, CaL., March 6.—An im- portant decision has been rendered by the Supreme Court of this State in the case of William Ferguson, plaintiff and respond- ent, vs. M. H. Sherman, the Electric Rapid Transit Company et al., defendants and appellants, the opinion reaching the Los Angeles office for filing to-day. The appeal was from the judgment and order denying a new trial. The plaintiff pleaded that the defendant, the Electric Rapid Transit Company, was a corpora- tion, organized under the laws of Kansas, He alleged that a judgment had been ob- tained in the Unitea States Circuit Court for the District of Kansas for $7717 50 and costs; that he caused exscution to be issued out of the court to be levied upon the property of the company, which was returned wholly unsatisfied. Then fol- lowed an averment that under the con- stituiion and laws of Kansas in such s case execution may be issued against any of the stockholders to an extent equal in amount to the amount of stock by him owned, together with any amount unpaid. The defendants, other than the company, were sued as stockholders. The action, then, says the Supreme Court, is an effort apon the partof the judgment creditor of the Kansas corpora- tion to enforce against California stock- holders tneir statutory liability for the judgment’s debt. Appellants’ contention was that all of the provisions of the Kan- sas law contemplate special statutory rem- edies given by the laws af another State, and not consonant with the laws and pro- cedure of thiis State, and that=uch liability cannot be enforced in this action. After an elaborate discussion of the points raised the Supreme Court holds that the decision of the lower court, hold- ing the stockholders liable, was correct, and the judgment and order is affirmed. -——— STEEL MILL TO REOPEN. Wheels of a Los Angeles Plant Will Soon Turn Again After Months of ldleness. 10S ANGELES, Car, March 6.—The Los Angeles Iron and Steel Mill is to re- sume operations on a greater scale than ever. Several monthsago this concern’s failure was the one topic of interest in business circles. The mill was butlt two years ago at a cost of $150,000. It employed eignty men and did a proficable business until the steel billet and rail pool caused trouble last summer. Strenuous efforts are now being made to put the mill in operation again. The steel billet pool burst, and with the prospect of railway connection with Salt Lake and a speedy construction of adeep-sea harbor the steel men are gaining courage. 1t is planned to build an addition to the present plant, to be used in the making of steel billets, which have hitherto been im- ported. This addition would cost $30,000. Local capitalists are becoming interested, and it may not be long until the smoke again issues from the chimneys of the big rolling-mill on Mateo street, s el Purchase Randsburg Mines, LO8S ANGELES, CAn, March 6.—J.

A THOUSAND SPANIARDS SLAIN. @ne of the Most Sanguinary Baitles of the War Is Won by General Calixto Garcia. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 7.—A special dispatch .to the Sun from Manzanillo, aated February 22, via Havana, says: The Spanish column of General Vara del Rey, 2000 men strong, was defeated and disperted two days ago by the Cuban forces under command of General Galixto Garcia. on the estate of Costomada and the re maining part of the column entered Man- zanillo in the greatest disorder, proving how serious the defeat was. In spite of the art of snatching victory from defeat, in which the Spanish official reports 8o greatly excel, General Vara del ‘Rey is:obliged to confess his disaster, though finding an excuse in the superior numbers of the Cubansand the advantage of their position. In his report, known at Manzanillo, though probably it will not be published in Havana, he says that his column was only 1500 men strong and estimates the Cubans at over 3000. The Spanish dead, he says, were 500, and he adds that notwithstanding he was obliged to retire the losses of the insur- gents were also severe. The batile turned against the Spaniards when General Vara del Rey tried to cross on his way to Manzanillo the river Buey notwithstanding the heavy fire from the Cuban rifles and two cannon, one a 12- pounder, which caused terrible slaughter. While crossing the river all was disorder and confusion among the Spaniards, and he could not reply to the volleys of their foes. Nearly all their horses wers drowned and they had to abandon the more im- portant part of the convoy they were es- corting. A small bridge of wood of which they availed themselves broke down, and with it one of the Spanish cannon sank to the bottom of the river. Other cannon were left on the shore, and were captured by the Qubans, On the other side of the river General Vara del Rey found another Cuban column waiting for him. In the state of panic and confusion in which his troops had been reduced the Cubans were able to complete their victory. General Vara del Rey himself narrowly escaped capture. In this situation the Spaniards decided to abandon the remainder of the convoy, which they succeeded in taking across the river, and they hastened their march to Manzanillo. As the object of the Cubans was to seize the convoy, the fight ended there. It lasted eight hours. The Spaniards took two hours to cross the river, and they be- haved with great courage during all the battle. Nota single Spanish soldier de- serted. All who did not reach Manzanillo were left, killed or wounded, on the field. The battle was directed by General Calixto in person, though the real success he ob- tained was in great part due to the skill of his chiet of staff, Colonel Mario Menocal. SRR L SANGUILLY'S DFEP GRATITUDE. Hardly Kealizes That He Is Again o Freo Man. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 6.—General Julio Sanguilly, who was released recently by the Spaniards after two years in Ca- banas fortress at Havana, arrived in this city at 2 o’clock this afternoon. He was met in Jersey City by 200 Cuban sympa- thizers, among whom were his brother, Manuel Sanguilly, and Mrs. General Ca- lixto Garcia, wife of the famous Cuban General. Sanguilly was accompanied by his wife, his son and a niece, who came with him from Havana. Mingled with the cheers for Cuba libre and General San- guilly were cheers for General Fitzhugh Lee. Before proceeding uptown General San- guilly, in answer to questions, said to the reporters: ©I can hardly realize that I am free and within arms’ reach of my frierds and re- latives. Two years is a long time in the Cabanas, and to breathe the free air again and to grasp the hands of old friends is a. boon at one time I thought would never come tome. To that brave soldier, Fitz- hugh Lee, and to the American people, it would be impossible for me to express my gratitude. My life belongs to them and to him. “After months of stone walls and Spanish guards there seems to bea new hope and new life in everything I feel or hear or see.”” Isit true that you have given up your claim as an American citizen against the crown of Spain as one of the conditions upon which you were released 7"’ “There is not the slightest truth in suach a statement,’”” he replied. “I would not give up the' honor of being an American citizen for Spain. I know now too well what it means to be under the protection of the American flag. It is too dear a thing to renounce, even where one's life is concerned.”’ “Regaraing the Cuban cause, do you be- lieve the Cubans will eventually triumph ?” “Absolutely,” he replied. “In my mind Cuba will be free within a year. All we want and all we need is for the Unit, States Government to allow us to la armament and ammunition upon the shores of Cuba. Assoon asthat iseranted Spanish rule will cease and Cuba will see her way clear to absolute independence.’ When asked what the Cubans thought of the attitude of ex-President Cleveland on the Cuban question, he replied: “They, of course, do not indorse the President’s attitude. The Cubans I have recently met express great hope that the new administration will deal indul- gently with the Cuban Republic. They have a government, and they have shown beyond a doubt that they are able to cope successfully with the Spaniards. That should give us a right asa Goverment, and we expect President McKinley to do that which ex-President Cleveland failed to do—give the Cubans belligerent rights.” s CUBANS SACK A TOWN. In a Night Attack They Force the Gar- & rison to Retreat. HAVANA, Cusa, via Key West, Fla,, March 6.—On the night of the 4th inst., about 6 o'clock, a band of Cuban patriots entered the important town of Guines, Havana province, and with heavy discharges of musketry forced the garrison to retreat into their barracks and the forts surrounding the town. After taking possession of the same they overran the town, setting fire to the bouses. After accomplishing their bold deed they quietly left the town. In order to appreciate the importance of the deed it is necessary to know that Guines has a population now of 16,000 souls and the garrison exceeds 2000. Yesterday the parties of F'rederico Nunez and Emilio Loran, 200 men,®surprised seventy laborers of the sugar estate Neptune, near Marcel. Pinar del Rio province, in the act of cutting cane.

YACHT ROVER'S PERILOUS TRIP Disabled by an Unknown Craft on the Bay of -San Pablo. Party of Sausalito Pleasure- Seekers’ Thrilling Experience on the Water. After a Wild and Exciting Race the Vessel Is Run Upon th: B-:ach With Its Cabins Flcoded. BAUSALITO, CaL., March 6.—Commo- dore Charles C. Bruce, owner of the swift yacht Rover and one of the Trustees of the town of Sausalito, had a thrilling and per- ilous experience in San Pablo Bay last night, which would have terminated dis- astrously had not the commander of the Rover been a careful mariner. The commodore, who'is well known in yachting circles, being a member of a couple of yachting clubs, invited a party of five to spend a couple of days with him ona cruise about the bay in the Rover, Last night while sailing about San Pablo Bay an unknown craft, which displayed no lights, crashed into the yacht and stove a hole in it, through which the water rushed. In a moment the greatest excitement vrevailed aboard and Commodore Bruce was unable to ascertain what boat had caused the collision. After causing the damage the strange craft disappeared and the Rover’s crew at once set to work to keep their yacht afloat. After repairing the dumage as best the facilities would allow Commodore Bruce determined to make a bold attempt to reach Sausalito, where he could beach the boat. He turned its head about, and then commenced a race full of excitement. Under the stiff breeze which was blow- ing the yacht, in its disabled condition, made good time, but the water was slowly rising in her cabin. Mr. Bruce, when seen to-day, said that they had a fearful tussle, and as evidence showed where his hends were cut and bruised from his labors to keep the yacht afloat. Finally Sausalito was sighted and the party gave a sigh of relief. Straight for the lights on the waterfront the pretty yacht was headed. The water had been pouring in_until it was waist deep, and the commodore lost no time in sending the boat u&)un the beach, and their danger had passed. The party ot ashore as soon as possible. This afternoon the yacht was bailed out and towed to its moorings near the San Francisco Yacht Ciub house. The damage to the yacht is not great, but none of the party is desirous of re- eating the thrilling experience. Mr. Bruca said this afternoon that he had not learned what sort of g craft hada crshed into his boat. A OVATION TO SANGUILLY, Enthusiastio Scenes at @ Cuban Benefit Entertainment. NEW YORK, N.

The highest type of womanly beauty or manly power with its accom- paniment of clear, quick, keen thinking powers is obtained and kept only through perfect health. Without this no man or woman has at command that natural en- ergy which fits them for the realities of life. In this age when “The race is to the strong,’”” without physical vitality no man or woman can hope to succeed in business or enjoy the social companion- ships of life. Failing Powers Restored. Many think that all they have to do is to abandon the evil practices or excesses they have been indulging in and that na- ture wlill ‘restore them, but experience teaches us that physical vitality when wasted by overindulgences or early ex- cesses cannot be restored without the proper treatment. Don’t let any consid- eration cause you to delay seeking the per- manent restoration to perfect health and manly vigor, which Dr. Sweany’s treatment cannot fail to produce.
