The prisoner’s attorney left for St. Helena on to-night's train that he might in person go over the few blocks of territory which have been dia- gramed and searched and studied. It was suggested to Attorney Hogan that a body guard for himself might be a proper precaution, for the reason that St. Helena folk might visit their dis- pleasure upon any man who would un- dertake the defense of such a creature as Clark. The lawyer shouted with indignation: “T'll take a shotgun with me. That's what I'll do.” However, there is evidently a decided difference of opinion as to the state of Bt. Helena’s pulse, and peace officers, ] who are the doctors in the case, cannot agree. District Attorney Bell tele- phoned down*from St. Helena to-night to The Call correspondent that all Iynching talk is nonsense; that Sheriff McKenzie is completely mistaken in his diagnosis of St. Helena’s case; that the patient is sane and healthy and thoroughly cured of the old lawless malady, and, furthermore, that she re- sents being called a mob'sick town, when she is peaceable, respectable and law-abiding as she was not once upon an old and ought to be forgotten time. | Clark grows uneasy as the time ap- proaches for him to face the people of §t.

St W Yy 4 e %t - LOS ANGELES IS AROUSED [N DEFENSE A Great Water Mass- Meeting to Be Held. The Recalcitrant Public Servants Will Be Called to Time. Now Will Come the Punish- ment of Those Who Be- trayed the People. SUBSIDIZED PRESS SCORED. Never Has There Been Such an Awakening in the Southern Metropolis. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2.—On Satur- day evening the citizens of Los Ange- | les will assemble in mass-meeting for the purpose of receiving information and instruction on the water question, and to take such action as may seem to them meet after they have had the facts laid before them by the able gen- tlemen who have accepted invitations to address the meeting. The fact that the people of Los Ange- les have not been able to secure infor- mation as to the water fight through local newspaper channels, owing to the policy of the three syndicated dailies to give.only such intelligence as is In the interest of the water monopoly and its efforts to defeat municipal ownership, has rendered the calling of the mass- meeting imperative. The syndicated dailies were putting forth their every effort to keep the people in ignorance | as to the real facts of the situation, by | misrepresenting true friends of muni- clpal ownership to a marked degree. But The Call entered the field and laid bare the nefarious plot in all of its details, and the result has been a great | awakening. The people are now up in | arms against the syndicate press, and they are in the field ta see to it that the public servants whom they elected in December, 1896, proceed to carry out their ante-election pledges without fur- ther unreasonable delay. As an evidence of the fact that the populace is aroused it is only neces- sary to refer to the mass meeting which is going to bring forth an ex- pression from the men who represent the bone and sinew of the city. Mayor M. P. Snyder will dellver an address in which he will take occasion to in- form the public as to his position in the matter. This the local syndicate press has never stated. Councilmen L. M. Grider and E. L. Hutchison will also tell briefly of the struggle they have made in the Council to carry out their pledges and of the difficulties they have met with at the hands of the tools of the corporation who are ensconced in public office, and Judge C. C. Wright, the author of the Wright irrigation act, will speak, as will also F. H. Gill, the president of the Los Angeles County Council of Labor; Ernest Abs Hagen. the civil engineer; M. W. Conkling, Professor W. C. Bowman, Milton Carl- son and others. The programme 1s to have short, pointed addresses, so that every citizen who is present in the hall, after he hears a full, fair and complete exposi- tion of the water issue, can go forth as a lecturer and inform his brethren of the course to be pursued in this mat- ter, which is to his interest and for the benefit of the whole people. Thus will the great work The Call has undertaken to secure for the people of this city possession and control of their water plant and to protect them from any $2,000,000 steal and from an extension of the monopoly’s franchise be assisted. The meeting 18 to be abso- lutely non-partisan in its character, It is for the sole purpose of discussing the water question and no other issue will be permitted to come up. Music Hall, on South Spring street, has been selected as the place of meeting. The Los Angeles Times has, by si- lence, pleaded guilty to the charge made against it by The Callof purposely and intentionally deceiving the people as to the water company’s plant in a page article appearing In its midwin- ter number. The paper, at that time, sct forth an alleged map of a portion of the company’s system which was a lie and a fraud upon the reading public. It depicted mains which in size are not in the positions indicated in the alleged map, and generally showed a system which has never been built, but which is a reproduction of a map in the City Engineer’s office of a system proposed for the municipality by Ernest Abs Hagen, formerly the city’s expert en- gineer. The Call has made this charge of deception against the Times and has stated that it was made intentionally and purposely in behalf of the water company to deceive the people and lead them to believe that the corpora- tion had made improvements to its | plant, which it had not. The Times has had three days to answer the charge, but it has failed to respond in any way. Among the ministers of the city the ‘water question is now attracting some considerabie attention. The Rev. Bliss is delivering a series of lectures here under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, and almost every evening he refers to the subject. This is exciting considerable comment in religious cir- cles, as it is a departure from the or- thodox rules. Rev. Bliss has clearly and in bold and outspoken words lined B ey e e i Continued on Second Page.

It is therefore pre- sumed, in view of the declination of the | officer to grant the request made to | him, that he has simply sent a mail re- | port, which is now on its way to the | department.

LONDON, Jan. 26.—The newspapers here comment on French, Russian and German re-enforcements going to the far east while no corresponding addi- tion is made to the British fleet. One of them says: “Happily Great Britain has the coun- tenance Instead of the hostility of the United States, but the Japanese navy is a factor of uncertain value." An article in the Pall Mall Gazette says: “The German fleet may be said to hold the balance between England and Japan and France and Russia. The position or arbiter is the very thing the Kaiser would desire, and with the force he possesses in the far east he can dictate terms. “If the position is really critifcal, we run a grave risk in leaving our fleet weak. In fact, we prepare for an open contest for retrograde movements.” A dispatch to the Daily Graphic from Sebastopol says it is rumored there that a portion of the Russian Black Sea fleet will be dispatched to China. BERLIN, Jan. 26.—The steamer Darmstadt, having on board detach- ments of marines and artillerymen, has arrived at Kiaochau Bay. The Lokal Anzeiger's China corres- pondent says a German sailor named Schulz, of the cruiser Kaiser, while on outpost duty at Tsimo, the extreme German position in Kaoichu Bay, was murdered by Chinese rabble last Mon- day night. Detachments of marines have been sent to Tsimo. BENNETT AFTER BROOKLYN NAVY-YARD AUTHORITIES. The Congressman Wants the Scandal of the Station Thoroughly Probed. NEW YORK, Jan. 2%6.—A Washington special to the Herald says: Represen- tative Charles G. Bennett of New York, visited the Brooklyn Navy yard yester- day and Inspected Dry Dock No. 3. As a result he is determined to see that there is a thorough investigation in the dock. Faults are so apparent, he de- clares, as to make it almost Inconceiv- able that they were not discovered while the work was in progress. “If it should develop for any reason that the deparmental investigation is not thorough enough to ascertain all the facts and place the responsibility where it belongs, there is no doubt the matter could be taken up by Congres.” There Is no desire in the Navy Depart- ment for congressional investigation. There is no doubt whatever that Civil Engineer A. G.

Le Petit Journal, Le Gaulois, Le Journal, Le Soleil, Le Libre | Parole and L'Echo de Parls, all discuss the matter this morning from this new point of view. The statement.that Germany had nothing to do with Dreyfus comes | rather as a surprise—in fact, is pretty generally disbelieved—although the | Brussels correspondent of Aurore, Cle- menceau’s paper, says that an official | in the foreign office there is authority | for the following statement: ! “If Dreyfus betrayed any secrets it | was to Russia and not to Germany. If the French Government refuses to | speak,” declares this Belgian diplo- | matist, “it {s because it would be com- pelled to accuse Russia and compro- mise an alliance so dear to the coun- try. Rather than do that,” he adds, “they would attempt a coup d'etat.” Le Petit Journal's article on the subject is a remarkable one. It says: “Europe is beginning to think that the French Government will soon be unable to suppress or keep back some Statement liable to bring about a con- fiict. This,” it declares, “is the motive which has prompted Baron ven Bu- low’s statement in the Reichstag. Does Germany fear or does she seek war?" “In any case,” Le Petiti Journal | says, “it is not to the interest of France | to let the matter go any further.

BRURLURRIRLRLIN8N MADRID, Jan. 26.—The bat- tle-ship Vizcaya, of 7000 tons displacement, has been ordered to visit American ports. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—The Spanish battle-ship Vizcaya, classed as an armored cruiser of barbette type, is one of the best ships in the Spanish navy. She is of 7000 tons displacement, is 340 feet long, has 65 feet beam and draws about 21 feet 6 inches. Her estimated speed Is 20 knots, she is driven by two propellers and has 13,000 indi- cated horsepower. The Vizcaya was built at Bilbao in 1891, and cost $3,000,- 000. Her armor belt is 12 inches in thickness, she has 10%% inches of armor over her gun positions and her deck plating is 3 inches thick. The armament of this war vessel consists of two 12- inch guns, ten 5.5-inh quick- firing guns, two 2.7-inch guns, eight 2.2-inch guns, four 1.4-inch guns and two Maxim guns. She has six torpedo tubes, carries a normal coal supply of 1200 tons and her crew numbers 500 rmen. A R S R R R R S R R3] Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Jan. 26. There exists now no reagonable doubt as to what prompted the sending of the Maine to Havana. Despite all the ef- forts of the pro-Spanish newspapers to make it appear that De Lome was overjoyed at the visit and that he was cognizant of every movement, if he did not actually suggest the visit as “an act of friendship,” there is no doubt that the ship was sent in response to the direct command of General Lee, and that such demand was backed by a threat to close the consulate and leave the island unless prompt action was taken. Of course nobody familiar with the situation there has believed for a min- ute the fairy tales that the State De- partment has been giving out. The BB WABB BB BB BS LSRR BIL | Maine had been placed at the disposal of General Lee some time before, or rather had been sent to the Florida Keys with the idea that of the ships of the navy she was most available for this particular mission. It was given out at the Navy Department that she was to hold herself in readiness to re- spond to the request of the American Consul General, but it seems that statement was not literally correct, for | the orders under which the Maine went to Havana were issued by Secretary Long and sent from here. They were sent in response to the de- mands of the Consul General made In cipher telegrams sent by him to the President direct. Blanco had suddenly left Havana. He had left on the day that anti-Amer- ican riots were scheduled to occur and Havana was excited over reports of Spanish defeats within a compara- tively short distance of Havana. Gen- eral Lee, who had kept the most prac- tical watch on developments, felt that trouble was impending and the result was his strong telegrams to the Presi- dent. The President and members of his Cabinet were at Secretary McKenna’'s eating that farewell dinner when the telegrams were hurried over to the President. The contents of them were made known and there was a sort of in- formal Cabinet meeting. at which it was decided that the demand of the Consul General must be promptly met. De Lome, who is “foxy” enough to find himself consulted on all matters pertaining to the Cuban situation, was sent for and met Secretary Long at the State Department. The situation was explained to him, and, so the story goes, he protested vigorously, reiterat- ing what he had said a few days be- fore, that such actlon would be taken by the Spanish as tantamount to a dec- laration of war. But, faced by the de- termination of the President to send the ship and realizing that there would be worse trouble if the President back- ed out and Lee made good his threat and came home, he and the Secretary of the Navy cooked up the pleasant story about Spain’s acquiescence. This story has been so skilifully elab- orated by some of those papers which have put themselves into the position of being mouthpieces for De Lome that it has been made to appear that the Spanish Minister was not only de- lighted at the visit of the Maine but that he actually suggested it himself. Nothing quite equal to this for a fairy story has been sent out from Washing- ton for years. Of course it is natural that the officials of the State and the Navy departments should conceal the real facts from the public. When they Hypnotism Up to Date.
