HAVANA, Jan. 26.—The last ripple of visible excitement attending the ar- al of the Maine died away this‘'morn- , and the ship as she lies at anchor acts no more attention than other vessels in the harbor. The papers made the briefest possible allusion to her arrival and La Union Constitu- tional, the Conservative organ, prints a Washington dispatch to the effect that the v of the Maine to Havana is merely an act of courtesy, showing the fri ly feeling to Spain, and to counteract Spanish utterances in Con- Bre La Union adds that the visit will be returned by the Spanish ships to American ports. In spite of this there is a strong un- ercu nt of feeling in Havana, as is evidenced by the excited talking last t of angry groups assembled in the s, The general impression among ical Spaniards is that the cause of pain has been betrayed by the Blanco government, and the nation has been iliated by what they regard as the st step in the direction of American intervention. This has intensified the hatred held for General Blanco and his associates, and for the cause of autonomy, and this hatred may at any moment find vent in an outbreak of fury in which mbers of the Government may ced to depend for their personal safety on the Maine, for, while their peril is obvious, the troops concen- trated during the riots have been dis- persed and no new precautions have been take The radicals here say General Blanco is playing his last card in his present visit to the Eastern provinces, for the purpose, it is said, of attempting to in- duce Generals Rabi and Salvador Rios to lay down t ¢ arms. Both these men refused to surrender at the ciose of the last war, and the Cubans believe them incorruptible. Before leaving Ha- vana on Monday General Blanco, it is known, drew from the treasury $380,- 000. General Blanco received news that an American warship would be ordered to Havana while in Batabano, but did not delay sailing for the st.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—A Washington special to the Herald says: The North Atlantic squadron will be augmented next week by the cruiser Bronklrn. which is expected to leave the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Sunday for the Gulf. Orders have been given to hasten the work of re- palring the ship. The battle-ship Maine will shortly go to the drill grounds to articipate in’ maneuvers, but Secretary ng told me to-day that the exact date for her departure from Havana had not been fixed. Another ship will go to Ha- vana to relieve the Maine. The department was advised to-da; that the North Atlantic squadron ha E.one into the inner s.nchong)e at Dry 'ortugas. The torpedo-boats Porter and Ericsson left Tampa yesterday for Mo- bile, where they will be docked, and when they have rejoined the squadron the Cushing and Dupont will be relieved.

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 26.—The third { day of the Pacific Coast field trials was | very pleasant. After a drive of twelve | miles, a halt was called on entering a field profuse with sage without the onions. The first brace of dogs, Gleams Ruth, handled by Dodge, and Luke, | handled by Couts, were cast off at 9:45 | a. m., and they had not gone more than | vards when they ran into birds in | splendid cover. Luke was first to point, | and was steady to shots. Luke re- | trieved. Again Luke pointed, but the | | bird flushed as the handler approached. | | Gleams pointed and Luke backed well. i | Luke again drew on point and was | beautifully backed. The birds were acting very well and the performance | of the dogs was much admired. Gleams | pointed twice on running birds, but | found his mistake and roaded several yards, coming finally to a stanch point near a water ditch. The bird was flushed by the handler and Kkilled. | Gleams, steady to shot, retrieved the bird whey ordered. Luke af.!;nn pointed stylishly, and the handler flushed the bird, but did not shoot. The dog was steady to wing. Several points were made by both dogs on the margin of an old water ditch, but Luke was the more steady on points and showed better judgment in roading and locating birds. Gleams Ruth is certainly a very showy bitch in the field, but Luke outclassed her in pointing and locating game. The dogs were lered up at 1( o’clock. The pointer Cuba, second prize win- ner of the Derby, hfindled by Dodge, and the setter Valiente, handled by Walters, were cast off at 10 o'clock on new grounds. Valiente, a very high- strung dog from the City of Angels, started off with the speed of a 2-year- | old when ordered on, and was soon lost from sight. His handler whistled and called, but the long-distance canine pe- destrian paid no heed to command and Jkept on going. After three-quarters of an hour's delay, the dog was given up for lost, but a horseman discovered Valiente afterward two miles from where she was cast off. In the meantime the judges ordered Countess K, handled by Dodge, and Alex C, first prize winner of the Derby and handled by Lucas, cast off. At 11:25 o'clock they went off at a merry gait, but it w one hour before the birds, which were found in the timber, flushed to open ground. Alex was first to draw on point, stopping suddenly in front of a small sagebrush when traveling at high speed. Lucas kicked the bird out and shot, but instead of | keeping a close eye on his dog he watched the spot where the bird fell. | Alex broke and ran, and after covering fifty yards of ground he pointed again | and Lucas shot and killed. This time Alex was steady to shot, and held his position until ordered on. While Alex w. accomplishing good { work Countess K was ranging several yards away and going over birds | which were afterward flushed by the | teams. Alex finally put up a hare and chased it a short distance, but stopped | on a signal from the handler. After | quartering some distance Alex again found birds which he roaded several ards, bringing up to a stylish point and was backed nicely by the Countess. The birds flushed before the handler arrived. | Alex again drew on point and was | vell backed, but the birds were run- | ning and the pointer roaded them until | he reached the timber and heavy un- | dergrowth, when the judges ordered | the dogs up at 12:55 o'clock. | The Countess must have been off badly in nose, as she falled to score a | single point on birds during the heat. | At 1:30 o’clock Valiente, handled by | and Cuba, handled by Dodge, e ain cast off. After traveling some distance Cuba ran into birds and | dropped flat on his stomach, but the | birds, alarmed by the approach of the | hunters, had moved. Cuba found his mistake, and leaving his point roaded some distance and again pointed and was beautifully backed. The handler, | | on finding no game, ordered Cuba on. | | Valiente, who was ranging to the left | of his opponent. came to a point and | was also beautifully backed. Cuba | | again pointed, but soon discovered that | the bird had left. Again he drew on | and his tail stiffened. Valiente backed" nicely and the bird was flushed by the | | bandler. Both dogs steady to shot. | | Valiente ranged some distance away | from Cuba and stiffened out. He was | steady to shot and retrieved well. It was some time before a new covey | was flushed from the trees. When they scattered among the sagebrush Cuba | pointed well and was nicely backed. | | Valiente was next to point and Cuba | | rushed in and flushed the birds. Cuba | | was now excited and flushing birds, but | | & good talk from his handler steadied him. Valiente again attempted long- | distance racing and was severely whipped by the handler. The hiding | had cowed him and his work after this | | was poor, the dog having lost his dash. | The dogs were ordered up at 2:35 | o’clock and Iroquois Chief, handled by | Dodge, and Peach Mark, handled by Allender, were cast off at 2:40 o'clock. Peach ranged well and quartered her ground beautifully, but was rather slow compared with other dogs. The Peach made some very pretty points and was invariably steady to shot. The | Chief acted very poorly, paying no at- tention to his handler, who annoyed the | | other dog by shouting and whistling | | at the headstrong Chief, who paid more | attention to fur than to feathers. The only redeemable feature in the Chief's | work was a stanch point he made ¢n a | bird when the trial was drawing to a ! close. His handler was compelled to | drag him away from the beautiful posi- | tion he had taken, and it was with the greatest reluctance that his highness cast himself away to other parts of the fleld where long-eared rabbits were numerous. Dogs were ordered up at 8:35 p. m. Emmet Sullivan, owner of Dash An- tonia, purchased Peach Mark from Gardner of Wells, Fargo & Co. She was sold by her handler, Allender, for $250. She will be bred to Dash Antonia. Sadie Hopkins, a Portland (Or.) bitch, handled by Guyse, had a bye with Lu- cas Wicklow. The dogs were cast off at 3:40 p. m. Wicklow was out of form and accomplished very poor work. He was ordered up after being down Falf an hour, and Sadle, single-handed, so to speak, worked her ground very. styl- | widow and '‘three children. ishly. She flushed some birds which were lying close, but after being down some time she redeemed herself by a display of good judgment in locating | running birds and pointing stanchly. She is a very pretty little bitch and very stylish when in action, but her pose is not the best. She was called up at 4:25 p. m., and this finished the day’s trials. Dogs that are-cast off in the morn- ings and evenings have a great ad- vantage over those that are ordered down in the middle of the day, when birds are wild and hard to locate. The dogs drawn for to-morrow are: Njmrod and Valiente; Luke and Cuba of Kenwood; Dona Alicia and Peach Mark; Dash Antonia and Alex C. The election of officers for the ensu- ing year took place this evening, and resulted as follows: President, Henry Keller of Pasadena (re-elected); first vice-president, J. E. Deruyter of San Francisco; second vice-president, W. S. Tevis of Bakersfield; secretary-treas- urer, J. M. Kilgariff of San Francisco; executive committee, Joseph Terry and C. N.

Defeat a Crack Massachusetts String ‘W hen the Battle Seemed Lost. | Special Dispatch to The Cail. CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—The great national cocking main, held Tuesday night and the greater part of Wednesday night in Herman's Winter Resort at Bluff Lake, attracted a crowd of sports, most of whom came from Boston, Providence and other New England towns. A blizzard came on after the start was made from Chicago and once the party was landed at the place where the pit was arranged it could not get away. The time was well put in, however, and many rattling bat- tles were fought, the majority of which were won by Western birds. The maln was for §2500 a side on the odd, and was against an almost hopeless lead. When time was called fifteen birds fell in, fighting at up and down weights, top to light alternately, with one and one: fourth to one and one-half inch gaff: Mackin, on the toss up of a coin, won tr choice and selected for the first battle a gray green grade of Jap sent to him by Green, a_ breeder of Sacramento, Like all other birds sent him by Green there were six of them—this proved cra- ven, and, after losing_four = successive fights to a man from Blackstone, Mass., Mackin withdrew the Japs. Mackin never got a look-in until the fifth fight. Casey's favorite Strain roundhead; and it began to look blue for the Chicago birds and sports. After the fourth en- gagement Mackin refused to handle any more of the Sacramento fowls and sent in his own breed. This turned the tide. The fifth went to Mackin, the sixth to a Massachusetts , the seventh to the local man and the eighth to the Easterner. The score then stood six victories against two in favor of the Bay State, and it looked like any kind of money against counterfeit coin that the big main would be won by sey Tt _was at this juncture that the re- markable change set in. Mackin's last bird, a blue-red Huddleston cross, had gone wrong and the ninth bird brought out of the coop of the,Chicago man was a brown-red, five pound tweive and three- quarter ounce_ bird that seventh fight. He was a game one, and though badly wounded went in and won handily enough. From that point. on Mackin never again lost a battie, win- ning eight out of fourteen batties fought and six of them in succession. The score | of the main follows: ol 10101000000 5 olosl 8. 1010111111 Total won, §: lost, 6. % the irds The result was a great surprise t Eastern men.

He said: fen in the past have had stand- ards of value and mediums of exchange or circulating mediums, or whatever | name you may give them, with no laws | save the customs of business; these | they can have in the future without | statutes, if statutes stand in the way of the irresistible force of the concur- | ring habits of men. | “Whatever be the standard named by | law, men will continue to measure value by gold until, by the concurrence | of their habits, they evolve something that suits their purpose better.” | The next speaker was Congressman Jesse Overstreet of the Indianapolis district, who introduced the monetary bill into Congress. He thought the biil | would receive the thorough attention of Congress and said Speaker Reed would in no way retard its careful considera- tio: “If we are defeated, shall not be conquered.” C. C. Homer of Baltimore urged the | importance of organization and said that Congress should understand that this plan was the will of the people.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The exodus of girls from this city to the Pacific Coasf and other Wegtern points to secure posi | tions as waltresses has been felt here, | and the stories of high wages, easy hours, beautiful climates and cheaper living expenses have set girls in this city | to thinking. Many of the uptown em- | ployment agencles are now filling west ern orders, to the great discomfort of lo cal restaurant keepers. “There is likely to be serious trouble for us,” said the manager of a large downtown restaurant to-day, “if this sort of thing keeps up. Why, it is almost im- | possible to keep goodiooking girls here | since the California craze has set in. A | number of them left two of our establish- ments to take positions in a hotel at San Diego, and only to-day I learned that four more had secured positions in Los Angeles.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2%6.—Nick P. Wilard | and Richard Conway were cellmates in | the Gasconade County Jail at Herman, | Mo. They became warm friends. Inter- | changes of confidences followed and of | these Willard was profuse. They were of | a domestic nature generally, and particu- larly of the virtues of Mrs. Willard as a | companion and helpmate. Conway nc-i gepted a cordial invitation to visit Wil- | lard’s farm home when the owner should have served his term for beating a neigh- bor in a fence dispute. Conway was re- leased ten days ago. Willard became a free man Monday. His release came in the form of a pardon pased on informa- | tion of his wife's _infidelity, and his | friend’s treachery. In brief, Conway had visited the Willard home directly after he was released and had found Mrs. Wil- | lard all that her fond husband had said.

People of Suisun Pleased With the Golden | Jubilee Edition. SUISUN, Jan. 26.—The great stroke of The Call’s enterprise in the distribution of the Golden Jubilee edition was the | principal subject of discussion here last Sunday morning. At an early hour the interesting edition, with its valuable and appropriate data was in eager demand, | and The Call was complimented on its feat, which is regarded as a grand scoop over its contemporaries. Public Dplnlnn‘ ‘was unanimous in its praise of the Jubilee edition, and there was a lively demand for coples. To the ploneers the edition was es- pecially welcome, containing as it did a collection of facts and incidents which carried them back to the “years of gold.” The Jubllee edition, following so closely | upon the unequaled Christmas number of The Call, is evidence that the journal which “‘speaks for all” has set a pace which will put its contemporaries in the rear. oLl L COUNT TISZA DEAD.

Governor Richards Advocates State Control of All Public Lands. Steps Taken to Apprehend Rustlers in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. DENVER, Jan. 26.—Chairman Spring- | er called the National Stock Growers Convention to order at 10 o’clock this | morning. There was a fair attendance of delegates. A committee was appoint- ed, composed of one delegate from each State represented, to draft a consti- tution and by-laws. The first address was on “Statistics as to Values of Livestock and Prospect- ive' Conditions,” by J. H. Neff, editor of the Drovers’ Telegram, Kansas City. stock growers’ business for the past fif- | teen years, showing that the industry, | a which was bn the down grade for a number of years, reached bottom a cou- ple of years ago and has since been improving. Governor W. A. Richards of Wyom- ing next spoke on “The Cession of the Arid Public Lands t6 the States.” Gov- ernor Richards took the position that not only the arid lands, but all the public lands, should be given to the | States. They would then, he claimed, soon be made to help pay the Govern- ment expenses and sooner be put in the hands of actual settlers. Governor Richards said the money received from the sale of public lands had been ver: | largely used in States other than those | |in which the lands were situated, to| the advantage of the older and at the expense of the younger States. Elwood Mead, State Engineer of Wy- oming, spoke on “How Bes: to Prevent Clashing Between Sheep and Cattle Men on the Ranges.” He favored the lands and the breaking up of ranges as a means of | preventing constant warfare between cattlemen and sheepmen. The afternoon session opened with a series of papers on ‘“Contagious Di eases Affecting Values of Livestock. Dr. Charles Cresswell, State Veterin- arian of Colorado, read the first paper, treating of ‘“The Best Methods of Pre- vention.” He took the position that the Government should maintain proper quarantines and make experi- ments in methods of preventing and subduing diseases, but he sald a gen- eral knowledge of sanitary laws and needs was necessary in the stock raiser himself. He severely condemned patent medicines as a general rule. Dr. A. T. Peters of the University of Nebraska spoke on “Advancement in Controlling Diseases.” He treated largely of the various methods of vac- cination which he held to be the most effective method of fighting disease in livestock. ‘W. S. Seavey of Utah offered a reso- lution calling upon the Governors of Utah, Wyoming and Colorado to ap- point a joint committee to investigate the alleged wholesale and repeated cattle and sheep stealing by organized robbers in the section of country in- cluding Northeastern TUtah, South- western Wyoming and Northwestern Colorado. F. J. Berry of the Union Stockyards, Chicago, spoke on “The Up-to-Date Horse and the Export Demand.” He asserted that electricity and the bicycle had destroved the-demand for small horses, but the demand for large, first quality animals is better than ever, and such horses bring good | prices at all times.

L0S ANGELES IS AROUSED [N DEFENSE Continued from First Page. himself up on the side of the people. He has also taken cognizance of the syndicated press, and has remarked on the fact that in many instances the people were led on to ruin by newspa- pers and public journals controlled and run in the interests of monopoly. When Rev. Bliss thus commented he must certainly have had in mind the Times, Herald and Express, and the Los Ange- les water fight. The special committee which has been appointed by the City Council to look into the matter of a source of mountain water supply has started to work in earnest upon the difficult task, which has been entrusted to Council- men Grider, Hutchison and Matthus. The effort will now be made by the syndicated water company press to dis- credit the report before it is even made or a hinc given out as to what it is or what it will be. This policy is clearly outlined by tHe Express, which is owned body and soul by the water company. The intention is to claim that the three Councilmen who have been named are interested in some scheme or to discredit them in some way. San Rafael Woman's Death.

Theodor Meetz, the Capitalist, Suffering From Blood Poisoning. ALAMEDA, Jan. 2.—Theodor Meetz, the well-known Alameda capitalist and streetcar man, is lying at his home, 735 Rallroad avenue, suffering from the am- putation of his right leg, as the result of blood:poisoning. The operation took place this morning, and was successfully per- formed by an Oakland physician. Mr. Meetz has long suffered from a crip pled foot, caused by being crushed while he was driving one of his own streetcars years ago. A bunion made its appearance | on the big toe of this foot some time | since, and it finally became so painful that about three weeks ago the services | of a chiropodist were called in, and the excrescence was removed. Blood-poison- ing, however, set in, and the leg became so painful and swelled to such a size that it finally became necessary to amputate it in order to save ..r. Meetz's life. The patfent, however, is some 77 years of age, and it is considered very doubtful whether he will fully recover. He is one residents of this city, and ed much property. For vears he was the owner of the only | treetcar line between this city and _Oé\k— | 1and. and realized large profits from it. Besides his property in Alameda, he | also owns land in Kern County and eis | where in the interior. He has no family, except his wife. | CINDERELLA CLUB’S SECOND DANCE The second meeting of the Cinderella, one of the most popular of the fashiona- ble dancing classes, was held last even- ing at Native Sons’ Hall.
