C., April 8.—Accord- ing to Oriental advices by steamer arriv- ing to-day the Japanese schooner Minato- gawa Maru, whieh arrived in Yokohama harbor, brought news of grewsome hap- penings on the island of Guam. Toward the end of December last a vessel brought from the Philippines a cargo of rebels as prisoners (some 400 in number), of whom halt were put on shore at Guam, the rest being taken on to another isiand. Food was scarce, and the chief official at Guam had only a few guards at his dis- Emboldened by this knowledge and actuated also by the hope of seizing & Japanese séhooner then lying in the har- bor the prisomers tried to break out of The Spaniards were warned in time, and it is stated by the Japanese that during three nights armed men outside continnea firing into the place of confine- ment, probably to discourage attempts at an emeute. An average of from forty to filty represented each night's butchery, the survivors escaping only by hiding be- hind the bodies of their companions. When at last the massacre ceased two- thirds of the wretched rebels were dead. A correspondent writing from Hakodate March 22 says: The American wha bark Cnarles W. Morgan, Captain J. 0. Layton, arrived here yesterday, having taken no oil since leaving San Francisco on December 3, 1896. Captain Layton confirms the report of the Japanese schooner Minatogawa Maru regarding the massacre of rebels at Guam.

Millionaire Finigan Will Stay in Jail All His Life Rather Than Pay Alimony 10 His Wife. SAN RAFAEL, CarL., April 8.—Million- aire Peter A. Finigan is still a guest of Henry Harrison of Marin County, and if the colonel has his own way he will con- tinue to have his quarters in the County Jail for some time to come. Colonel Finigan has instituted a new order of things in Marin’s County Jail He has had a bed sent from the Hotel Rafael, and this has been setup in hi cell. He has not complsined at the treat- ment he received, but says that he will re- main in jail all of his life ratuer than pay the $750 alimony to his wife's attorneys. Colonel Finigan has recived many visitors since he has been incarcerated in the County Jail. His two daughters visit him daiy, and all his meals are sent into the prison from a notel near by. Toe colonel says that the woman who is suing bim for a divorce cost him thousands of dolla she will never get another cent so long as be can prevent it. Thirieen years ago they were married and they spent most of the time in traveling abroad. Mrs. Fin- igan’s suit for divorce was originally commenced in Ban Francisco, but wi transierred to Marin County. The depo- sition on file in the County Clerx’s office in San Rafael discloses some siartling facts. One of the colonei’s cruel acts was his refusal to accompany Mrs. Finigan to a barber-shop to have her arm shaved. Tne contempt proceedings will bave to be settied before the divorce case can be tried. Colonel Finigan does not bear any ill feeling toward Judge Angelotti, who remanded him to the custody of the Bberiff. fa e SAUSALITO - CORNERSTONE LAID. posal. prison.

Mr. Hamilton of Christ Church opened the ceremonies with a prayer. Commodore Harrison in his remarks said that twenty-e:ight years ago he landed with forty laborers in Bausalito and they turned the first shovelfu! of earth in the town on the lot next to the new building and there erected o house in one dsy und in which they slept that might. From that time until now the town had steadily advanced. The Richardson brass band supplied patriotic music during the ceremony this afternoon. o COULTERVILLE'S BGGUS DUNHAM. Practical Jokers Circulate a Sensational Report of the Murderer’s Capture. SAN JOSE, CAL., April 8.—A sensation- al Dunham story was sent out from Coul- terville, Mariposa County, to-day. The dispatch said a crazy miner, who made & murderous ult on a companion, had been identified as James C. Dunham, the fugitive murderer from Campbell. Sheriff Lyndon immediately began & thorough investigation with a view of ascertaining whether there was any truth in the story. A telephone message was sent to the Justice of the Peace at Couiter- ville. The reply was that Dr. Theodore Koeniz, formerly of San Jose, had at a first glance 1identified the crazy prisoner as Dunham, but afterward wasinclined to change his mind. The Justice of the Peace added that the prisoner had been taken to Mariposa. Communication was established with Bheriff Prouty by telephone. The message received was that the prisoner bore no resemblance to Dunham and the Dunham part of the story had probably been start- ed by one of Coulierville’s practical joxers.

The Gorernment Powerless to Suppress the Frenzied Fanatics. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 8.—A dis- patch to the Herald from Montevideo says: The republic is greatly alarmed at the failure of the Government to suppress the rebeilion. The administration officials admit that the news from the front is unfavorable. The Government column under Munez has been dispersed by Sarava. Lamas is now said to be marching on Monos. The revenue from customs for the last six months is $1,240,000 less than for the preceding six months, Several deputies have made a demand on the Chambe that the President shall change his pres- ent policy. Barava, the Brazilian rebel chief, is at San_ Luis, near the Brazilian frontier, while Lamas is marching toward the cen- tral part of the repubiic. The Govern- ment troops were defeated with heavy loss at Trecinta y Tres he Government has issued a call for the immediate mobilization of 6000 troops of the National Guard.

BURGLARS FIRE UPON A WOMAN Shrieks for Mercy Wasted On Ears Calloused by Crime. Visitors to Santa Monica At- tacked in Their Room by Murderous Thugs. Engineer Pace of Los Angeles Is Seriously Wounded, but His Wife Escapes Unscathed SANTA MONICA, Car., April 8—Two murderous ruffians entered the residence of William Pace and wife of Los Angeles in this city, and attempted to murder its twooccupants. That tHey were nnsucce: ful was due only to poor marksmanship, caused by the absence of a lightin the room. Pace was wounded in the leg, and several bullets from one of the intruders’ revolver penetrated the walls of the room and the mattresses of the bed on which Mrs. Pace lav. \ Pace is a fireman on the Southern Paci- fic Railway. He and his wife came to Santa Monica to visit Mrs. Pace's father, Henry W. King, ex-Chief of Police of Los Angeles. They were given rooms in a cottage near King's residence. Mrs. Pace awakened her husband =t about 2 o’clock this morning, telling him that some one was in the room. Pace rose d struck a match. As the blaze was flaring up some one shouted a demand for his money, en- forcing it with & bullet from a revolver. The ball penetrated his leg near the knee. The match having gone out the room was left in darkness, but from ibe noise and muttered conversation Pace and his wife became aware that the intruders were two in number. The Angeleno told the ruffians to take his money and his clothes, and one of them ‘rifled his pock- ets, obtaining about $10 in cash. Meanwhile Mrs. Pace, who had been screaming for help, began to plead with the intruders for her life. “You have killed my husband; do not shoot me!” she cried. 1 kill both of you,” was the reply from one of the ruffians, and he commenced fir- ing at the bed on which the woman lay shrieking for mercy. Owing to the dark- ness the robber could not take aim, but had to fire at random, and it so happened that none of bis buliets took effect upon his intended victim. While the fellow was shooting at Mrs. Pace his companion gathered up a few articles of value in the room and they then made their escape. Mrs. Pace burried overto the house of a neighbor end excitedly related her ex- perience. City Mars:al Dexter was sum- moned and made & care.ul examination of the premises, while physicians dressed the paintul wound from which Pace was suffering. Marshal Dexter found tracks made by heavy-nailed boots leading away from the window by which the robbers had entered the cottage. Later he cansed the arrest of two men near the Arcadia Hotel who an- swered to the description given by Pace. They were traveling tinkers and gave as | : | was received by Superintendent Cooper their names Phillip Btraube and George Saunders. Whenthe Marshal approached the pair he asked them if they had taken out a license for peddling. One of them at once replied in an insolent manner: “Why don’t you say that you want us for that shooting and be done with it.” The men claimed to have walked from San Francisco. The shoes they wore ex- actly fitted the tracks leading from the King cottage. They were this afternoon beld for examinstion, and in defauit of $1000 bail were committed to the County Jail.

He Tel of His Decision Against the Japanese—Immigration Laws the Same us Here. Among the arrivals by the Monowai last evening was Chief Justice A. P. Judd of Hawaii, and Mrs. Judd, who are at the Occidental. They will, so the Chief Jus- tice says, go to Los Angeles for a few days’ stay, and will then go to New Haven, Conn., where the Chief Justice will attend the annual meeting of Yale College alumne and witness the graduation of his two sons. Itis seventeen years since he has been East. He mentioned his decision against the 1anding of 700 Japanese recently in Ha- waii, and said the statute was exactly the same as that of the United States, where the decision had been made. “There are six emigration sgencies in Japan,” he nd they all make money off the Japanese that are sent. We had 1501 Japanese once in a weok. The census of November, 1896, showed we then had 24,000 Japanese and 2600 Chinese, while our popalation was very much less. At the same time there were 31,000 natives, besides 8000 of mixed nalive blood; 2259 British, 1452 German and 15,000 Portuguese. ~We feared if the Japnnese were allowed to come they would soon outnumber us, and then they would soon wsnt to express themselves politically. Our immigration laws being the same as in the United States, we stopped them. “I don't know what authoritiss may conclud: will not say whether war vesselor not.” ——————— T. H. NELSON'S SUICIDE.

He Claimed to Have Done so to Avoid Persecution ac Her Hands. Another Tale of His Dark Doings gt Kingsbury Brought to the Light of Day. “Morgan’s tears” has become a stereo- typed phrase when speaking of the traits of the attorney who fled this City to avoid prosecution at the hands of Capitalist Alsip for blackmailing, but late discover- ies place Morgan’s nerve on a high piane, A letter was received from Mendocino County yesterday by the missing attor- ney’s former wife from relatives, who show that his audacity is unequaled. According to the epistle in question, Morgan appeared at Orr's Hot Springs, fourteen miles from Ukiah, about two weeks ago, and claimed that he had come to them to avoid Mrs. Morgan and her persecutions. Taken in conjunction with the fact that his former wife had not n him in three months, and had never in- troduced him to her relatives because she had no confidence in his character, this action deserved s leather medal, Morgan disappeared from the springs, where he was known to other than rela- tives under the name of MeNamara, sev- eral days ago. He must have returned di- rectly to this City, as he was seen here only a few days ago by two credible wit- nessas, an account of which meeting was published exclusively in THE CALL. Another tale has come to light regard- ing Morgan’s Kingsbury career, which, if true, and it is given by a pcrson of probity and good reputation, will hardly tend 10 increase the esteem in whica he is at present held by the public. The story isto the effect that a certain Fresno capitalist had a daughter, who fell in love with a young civil engineer of favorable reputaiion. Her father wished her to marry the son of local banker, but she chose rather to marry the man of her cuoice. The father was incensed at this action and upon going to Kingsbury was in- formed by Morgan, it 1s alleged, that the son-in-law had not been divorced irom a former wife. The young husband procured a situation as assistant engineer in one of the steam- ers plying Letween this port and Hono- Iulu, and the father in order to protect t.is daughter bad influence brought to bear to induce her to sign an application for divorce. This ail occurred in the fall of 1885 and in the spring of 1886 the divorce was granted. Afterward the father found that he was in error and that his former son-in-law been properly divorced from his first wife, who was then dead. He made proper restitution by permitting his daughter to remarry the man she loved and they are now living happily in Fresno. MBS, GAGAY STESTINONY Declined at First to Take The Stand on the Advice of an Attorney. The Wife of a Former Foreman of a Grand Jury Was Up on Order of Examination. Justice of the Peace Groezinger wi com- pelied yesterday to mention the fact to Mrs. William Gagan, wife of the druegist and former foreman ofa Grand Jury, that refusing to obey the orders of the court constitutes contempt and that people are sometimes sentito jail for that offense, in order to get her to take the witness-stand. Mrs. Gagan was up on order of exam- ination in the case of Willlam Schaefer vs. John J. O'Brien in order to ascertain whether or not she is indebted to the de- fendant. Mrs. Gagan built an elegant residence for herself and her husband and some of the workmen were not paid by the con- tractor. Among them was Schaefer, who obtained judgment for $175 and costs Jor painting work unpaid for. There seemed to be nothing on which to fasten an exe- cution, so Mrs. Gagan, as the capitalist of the firm, was served with an order of ex- amination for the purpose mentioned. At the time the examination was first set for hearing the druggist’s wife did not appesr and the matter was continued. Before it came up the second time an in- junction was sued out in the Superior Court ordering the plaintiff to proceed no further in the matter of the examination. Mrs. Gagan appeared, however, with her husband, a former newspaper re- porter, and when the plaintiff’s attorney insisted on questioning her, Justice Groezinger ordered the examinatlon to proceed, the injunction having no appli- cation to him. It was tnen that Mrs, Gagan's husband grew angry. On the advice of her attorney, Mrs. Gagan at first declined to take the stand, but later when ths law of contempt was quoted to her by the Justice she consented 1o testify. Her husband was angry, as he did not like people to know the sources of the Gazan income. On the stand Mrs. Gagan stated that the money with which their house was built was all hers and that she had signed cer- tain documents relating to the transac- tions appertaining to the work, but did not know what they were. Sas did not know whether she owed the contractors anythin8 or not, but she did know that the edifice had cost something like $13,000.
