Boone of the Berkeley Board of seorge Whipple, n, Charles Elston, night as having adopted since his election to his present office a sugar-coated policy to conceal the weaknesses of the public schools and to arrest criticism These startling statements were made before the board at their regular semi-monthiy meet- ing in his annual written report. Turn- ing from his “sugar-coated” policy, as he deccribed it, he severely criticized the de- partment, ref-rring particuiarly to the tagnation in the system which at present prevails.

OAKLAND OFrFicE SAx FrANcIsco CAry,) 908 Broadway, April 20. { Annie Jonnson was murdered and no one will have to answer for the crime. The charges against Dr. Sharpe, Jack Howard the motorman and Huldah John- son wers all stricken from the calendar to-day because of a technicality in the dying statement of the murdered girl. When Anna Johnson believed she was going to die she consented to make an ante-mortem statement. It was attested before Notary Public Keeney, and when the dying girl signed it she made the fol- lowing remark: “If I die return this to the authoriues, but if I live return it to =57 The prosecution at the last session of court had reached that portion of its case with the introduction of the girl’s dying statement, Attorney Francoeur for the defense ar- gued against its admission on the ground that the expression of the girl when she signed it made 1t clear that she did not | make it ata time when she had ao idea of recovering. As the statute requires that the deponent under such circum- stances must have given up all hope of life the attorney objected to its admission in evidence. The case was taken under advisement and to-day Judge Ogzden addressed the jury as follows: “The deiendant, Howard, 13 charged with murder. To convict a man of this charge the evidence of guilt must be conclusive. In this case it ap- pears from the statement of the District Attorney that there is no such legal evi- deuce and it remains for us to discharge the prisoner, and it 1s, therefore, your duty to return and it is the advice of the court that you do return a verdict of not guilty.” Captain H. Thoelken arose and stated that unless they were ordered to bring in such a verdict they would not agree on that point, for some of the jurors had made up their minds that such a verdict was not justified. be accepted by the court,” said Juuge Og- den, “and if another one is brought in it will be set aside.”” The jury retired ana deliberated for fifteen minutes before they could agree to accept the court’s instruc- tion. The case against Dr. Sharpe was called before Judge Hall and also dismissed. Huldah Johnson, Jack Howard and Dr. Sharpe walked from the courtroom smii- ing and after congratulating each other walked away free. OHRIST OHUROH.

ALAMEDA, CaL, April 20.—The last Legislature, for some reason unknown to most of those interested, passed s law making the office of chief engineer of the | Fire Department in cities of the fifth class, 1o which Alameda telongs, elective. The point was rai ed that the new Board of Trustees, which last night passed a resoiu- tion declaring that and all otber ap-| pointive offices vacant after the first of | next month, had therebv created a va- cancy which they hsd no power to fill. Nevertheless they filled it by reappointing Fred K. Krauth' Jr. to the position. It seems that the law did not contain the usual provision that the act should go into effect from and alter its passage and accordingly it comes under the provision “No other verdict will | that such laws @o not go into force until sixty days from passage. This gave the Trustees the opportunity to make the re. appointment and they took advantage of it. The School Board. ALAMEDA, CAL, April 20.—Dr. W. K.

BERKELEY, Cavr, April 20.—Within the gaze of a throng of over 3000 specta- tors the freshmen at the State University celebrated the burial of Bourdon ana Nimto to-night, marking one of the most brilliant events of the kind ever held in Berkeley. It was not, however, until they had fought their way through the small army of sophomores, who were scattered over the route of travel and who offe:ed a powerful resisiance to the oncoming foe. At 80'clock the procession of fresumen started from North Berkeley, accompany- ing the coffin in which were deposited a copy of Minto’s Manual and Algebra. They passed through the sireets sur- rounding with a hollow square the huge truck on which were the coffin and the | speakers of the evening. A continual stream of fireworks was set off along the route of travel. They first tried to gain entrance to the campus by the lower southern gate, but the sophs had barred the way with a | water wagon. The procession then head- | ed jor the other entrance farther east. Upon arriving t ere they caught the sophs in the act of cutiing down and burning the bridge across Strawberry Cree! The '99 men were soon overpowered and the bridge was passed. Having reached the campus, halt their baitle was won. Though one by one the guards about the wagon were picked off and bound band and foot, enough were left to carry out the ceremony of burning the coffin. Amid a most deafening tumult and shower of rotten egzs the cremation took place, and the ireshmen gave their war dance about the ashes of the-coffin, A.J. Cloud was Pontifex Maximus, Charles Dorety and Roy Young were Laudators, | George Brehm Damnator, Jesse Menden- hall Imprecator and Henry Robinson and C.

Mexico, Cuba, much all over. Eliseo, who is about 30 years old, scholagly and diplomatic, is anagent of the Cubhn cause. He has plenty of money and spends it with an open hand. Benor Eliseo arrived in this country, so he says, sixty-three days since, and has been traveling almost all the time. He has visited New York and Wasbington and stopped at different places on his way out to Denver. There he was inter- viewed, or rather a story was writ- ten about him. With it appeared a picture of the Cuban. The story was that Senor Eliseo was the son ot a millionaire Cuban planter, who bad raised large sams of money to carry on the war, It added that the Senor was himse!f immensely wealthy and ad extensive interests all over the world. It was siated further that he had come West partly on mining busi- ness. The man to whom so much was credited showed the story, which bad been fur- nished him by a friend. He said it badly misrepresented him. “I cannot go into details as to who I am,” he said, “'because 1 have no wish to reveal my identity. But I have been pretty much over this country in the last sixty-three days. After I left Denver I went to Oregon and Washington, I am now on my way io Mexico, and en route will stop at Los An eles and El Paso. “Now, about the war in Cuba, I can tell you we expect it will last five years longer. It will be dragged out like the ten years' war, the last one we had, We are going to just let it drag along. In the end Cuba will win, but before the war is ended there will he a conflict be- tween the United BStates and Spain. The reason is this. Spain has be- tween 15,000,000 and 20,000,000 peopie, d Cuba but about 2,000,000. Weli, Spain which once owned ihe whale of this great country, and tad possessions all over the .lobe, has lost ali excepting Cuba. It would be disgraceful if Spain lost Cuba, and i she does lose Cuba there will be arevolution in Spain and Alpbonso will not be King. Spain will be a repub- lic When Spain finds at last that she must lose Cuva she will commit some overt act against the United States, in- volve this country in a war with her and get whnipped by ihe United Stutes, becauss she will regard it more creditable tuan to be defeated by little Cuba alone. “'So we are just going along and letting things wear cut.

You see, 5o many bonds have had to b put up for different persons that it ha made things a listle slow. “I am afraid the Gisco-Turkish war will hurt Cuba a little in drawing away 1nter- est from it,.but all over America more than three-fourths of the people have always beeu heart and soul with the revo- lationists. “In Cuba we haven’t been fighting very hard latelv. We are laving off and wait- ing for the cholera. Tue cholera is our greatest ally. It will begin again about the 2Gth of next month.” Senor Eliseo wore magnificent jewels. On two fingers of his leit hand were heavy gold rings set with diamonds, rubies and other stones. In his tie was a Cuban bat, the top of which wasa large pearl and the remainder diamonds. On his lapel was the ensign of the dauntless ‘Pearl of the Antilles,” consisting of a single siar inared field, irom which ex.ended three vars of blueand two of white.
