LOS ANGELES, March 11.—General W. S. Rosecrass died this morning at 7 o'clock at his home near Redondo. His last struggle against death was one of the most remarkable and cour- ageous battles he had fought through- out his life. He possessed wonderful vitality, and for the past six days had been on the verge of the other world. When death came at last General Rose- crans was unconscious, and he died most peacefully. Dr. J. R.

SACRAMENTO, March 11.—A most brutal assault to murder was com- mitted yesterday at the Folsom Prison. Convict Kelly, & man of 70 years, was struck on the head with a shovel in the hands of another convi:t whose name cannot be learned. Between the prison and the town of Folsom there s a line of railroad main- tained and operated by the State. It is fact that considerable traffic passes | over it, it requires the services of a section gang. This gang is composed of prisoners. Yesterday they were in charge of Guard Hdgan. In lifting a rail from one side to the other old man Kelly was told to “hurry up,” or given some command similar in terms by an- other prisoner. some reply and immediately received a blow just back of the ear by one of the convicts with whom he was working.

So serious was his condition last night that Father Hunt of Sacramento was sent for to administer to the -spiritual wants of the old convict, who declared he could not survive the blow. To-day he ral- lled somewhat, but to-night he is in a precarious condition and his death is | ! expected any hour.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN LUIS OBISPO, March 11.— Harry Jubilee Bee, the oldest pioneer of California, dled to-day, aged 89 years and 6 months. Bee came to California in 1830. After living many years at San Jose he came to this county last fall and has since resided with relatives at the little hamlet of Pozo, in the eastern part of the county, where he will be buried. In 1836 Bee joined the rifle company commanded by Captain Isaac Graham for the purpose of aiding in the at- tempt to liberate California from Mex ico. From Santa Cruz the company marched to Monterey.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, March 11.— Wee Tung, the Chinese murderer, was led to the gallows to-day, and in ex- actly twelve and one-half minutes from the time the trap was sprung at 10:31 o'clock the doctors in attendance pronounced life extinct. It was a strange scene that was en- acted in the execution room.

In 1842 he was graduated at West Point, stand- ing fifth In his class. After twelve years Eervice in the engineer corps he resigned on April 1, 1854, having attained the rank of first lieutenant Until the breaking out of the war in 1861 he engaged in civil pursuits. In 1556 he was president of the Coal River Navi- gation company at Coal River, West Vir- ginia. The vear following heé organized the Preston Coal Oil Company, engaged in the manufacture of kerosene. His re-entrance into military ser- vice was as a volunteer ald on the staff of Majog-General rge B. McClellan, who had been given ization of the Ohi Governor of tl Rosecrans was rge of the organ- me Guards by the At that time dent of Cincinnatl. Governor Dennison appointed him as chief engineer on his stAN. with the rank of colonel. On June 10, 1861, he was com- missioned colonel of 'the Twenty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in which reg ment ex-President Rutherford B. Hay was at the same time commissioned m: {ur. President William MeKinley also e isted in the Twenty-third Ohio and was mustered out as one of i s captains. Rosecrans did not tak the regiment to the front. Having received a commission from President Lincoln brigadier gen- eral in the regular army he was assigned to the command of a brigade under Me- Clellan, then commanding a small army in Western Virginia. General McClellan's battle of Rich Mountain, July 11, 1861, two weeks before Bull Run, first brought Rosecrans into national prominence. Con- trasted with subsequent confiicts it an insignificant battle. The Union loss was 11 killed and 35 wounded; the Confed- erate, 60 killed and 140 wounded and 100 prisoners. Rosecrans with his brigade made a skillful night march and sur- prised the enemy 'in their rear. Soon af- terward McClellan was called to the com- mand of all the troops concentrated around Washington and began ‘the organ- ization of the Army of the Potomac. Rosecrans succeeded him in command of the Department of Ohio, which then con- sisted of Western Virginia, Ohlo, Michi- gan and Indiana. Then began his .career as an indepen- dent army commander. On September 10, 1861, he defeated General John B. Floyd in a battle at Carnifex Ferry, expelling the Confederate forces from Western Vir- ginia. In this battle the Union losses were 16 killed and 102 wounded. His serv- ices were recognized by votes of thanks from the Legislatures of Ohfo and West Virginia, and in May, 182, General Rose- crans was given command of two divi- sions in Halleck’s great army, then lay- ing siege to Corinth. He succeeded Gen- eral Pope in command of the Army of the Mississippl, and with four brigades fought the battle of Tuka, where he de- feated General Sterling Price. The losses in this battle were: Union—144 killed 558 wounded; Confederate—263 killed, 692 wounded, 561 prisoners. Returning to Cor- inth he fortified that town, and on Octo- ber 3 and 4 defeated the combined forces of Sterling Price and Earl Van Dorn, with casualties as follows: Unlon—315 kiiled, 1812 wounded. 232 missing; Confed- erates—1423 killed, 5692 wounded, 2248 miss- ing. M&eneral Rosecrans’ star was now in the ascendant. He became one of the popular military idols of the day. The West glowed with his fame. Bragg's triumph- ant tnvasion of Kentucky and Buell's re- treat to the Ohio River filled the North with consternation. The need of the hour was for a new commander in the central theater of operations, and the choice fell upon Rosecrans, who superseded Buell. The Army of the Cumberland was reor- ganized by him, infused with a new spirit, and preparations made to enter upon a Vkoro#n campaign to drive the emy out of Tennessee. enOn)Decemher 29, 1862, General Rose- crans led the army out of Nashville to attack General Bra.gg’s army, which was posted strongly on Stone iver, a knee- deep stream running close to the town of -Murfreesboro. There a great battle was fought on_December 30 and 31 and Jan- 1.

He immediately saddled his horse and rode to his father’s home. They had a few words over the matter and Flannelly drew a revolver and shot his father through the head three times. He then returned to the ranch. Here he had a battle with the officers and shot Sheriff McEvoy, who subse- Guently died from his wounds. opinion was aroused and to mauga Creek, and here the bloodiest bat- tle west of the Alleghanies was fought on_September 13 and 2). 1%3. The Con. federate army attacked both days. Rose- | crans made changes in the disposition of his lines which weakened his center and right, and left an opening for Longstree to pour through. The right wing, deplet to strengthen the left under Thoms cut off and then routed. Rose two of his corps commanders, McC and Crittenden, were swept with the tide of fugitives info Chattanooga.

In June, 1867, he declined the Democratic nomination for Governor. On July 27, 1868, President Grant appoint- ed him Minister to Mexico, which office he held until June 26, 1569, when he re- turned to the United States. In that year he declined the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio. In 1872-73 he en- gaged in an effort to Initlate the con- struction of a system of narrow-gauge raflways in Mexico, at the instance of President Juarez. in 187 he was presi- dent of theSafety Powder Company in this city. The same year he declined the Demo- cratie nomination for Congress from Ne- vada. He was electeu as a Democrat to Congress from the old First District, which included this clt}', In 1880, and was re-elected in 1882. In June, 1853, he was appointed by President Cleveland Regis- ter of the United State! reasury, from which office he retired about four years ago, owing to his impaired health. He then took up his home with his son, Carlos, who s a prosperous farmer, resid- ing near Redondo Beach, ten miles from eles. 1 b was done to prevent him from killing himself, and from carrying out ' his | boast, as published exclusively in The | Call ten days ago, that he would chea: the gallows by suicide.

He said he would cut an arpery in his wrist, or would make a rOpe of blankets and hang himself from a grating in the | washroom. It was to prevent these threats that ' a consultation was held between Sheriff Mansfield, Under Sheriff Benson and Jailer Black to-day, and the decision | reached to remove him to another cell. | The suit of clothes Flannelly has worn since his arrest was taken from him and he was given a suit of prison clothing.

SANTA BARBARA, March 1l.—James Marvin Curtis is in receipt of a tele- fram from Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Magee, nforming him that they will extend their ridal tour to the City of Mexico, SALINAS, Cal March 11.—There was quite a sensation in the Superior Churt late this afternoon when one not- ed crook was put on the witness stand, | and testified most emphatically that he was guilty of the crime of which an- other crook now being tried was ac- cused. This testimony was a great sur- prise to all. Joseph White, the witness who was so willing to take the responsibility off one man’s shoulders and admit that he himself was guilty, is well known in several parts of this State as an all- around crook. Only last week he was | tried in the Superior Court on a charge of burglary, but after the jury had been | |out for twenty-four hours they failed to bring in a verdict. When he was about to regain his liberty, as the charge would not have been pressed, | he volunteered to go on the stand and | testify in favor of Charles Johnson, alias James Ryan, the defendant in the present case. . ‘White testifled this afternoon that he burglarized the home of James Frazier in Pajaro Valley, on or about August 29, 1897. He told a straightforward story of how he and another man en- tered the house about 11 o’clock at night, he going upstairs and doing the work, while his pal remained outdoors on watch. He told what was taken, described the house, premises and surrounding country, and, in fact, gave | all the material points to show conclu- | sively that he was indeed the guilty party. the witness was stumped on the minut- est details. In cross-examination, however, The whole testimony was like a thunder-clap in a clear sky. .It was at a time, too, when the prospects for the accused man’'s acquittal seemed very slim. The testimony offered by the District Attorney and Detectives Dillon and Ivan of the San Francisco police, together with the defendant’s past character, was indeed damaging to his case. Detective Ivan testified tha: he had arrested James Ryan, who then went by the name of James McDumott, on a charge of grand larceny February 11, 1884, and that about an hour after his arrest a charge of burglary was also placed against him. He was sentenced to San Quentin for five years on April 24, 1884, Detective Dillon was put on thestand, and testified that about two months after Ryan was released from San Quentin he arrested him on a charge of burglary. Ryan gave his name then as Charles Johnson, and was convict- ed and sentenced to ten years in Fol- som on September 29, 1889. The present charge {s for burglary committed August 29, 1897. Ryan was captured in San Jose by, Chief of Po- lice Kidward, who testified to-day that he caught the man with burglar. tools upon his person. White, the man who to-day admitted the guilt of the erime with which Johnson is accused, was captured in Chualar, but escaped and was retaken near San Juan. On De- cember 6 White and Johnson made a clever escape from the county jail in this city by locking two deputy sheriffs in jail and taking the key with them, White, however, was captured in San Francisco, after having about two weeks’ liberty. Johnson was retaken Labout three weeks later. | abandoned, they will be otherwise util- ized.

The Seminole will be here on Sunday, and before the rein- | deer can be loaded forty-two stalls will be built on her deck, each to hold eight animals. This method of handling the deer was found most satisfactory when they were crossing the Atlantic. The deer left behind will go from here about March 20 by steamship to Prince Wil- liam Sound. From there they will make the overland trip into the Yukon gold fields in the effort to establish thait route ~as a desirable all-American route. The bark Seminole is of 1442 tons gross, and is 196 feet long, 41 feet wide and 25 feet deep, being a stanch roomy craft.
