English Editor Ridicules the War Preparations of the United States. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, April 27.—The newspapers here are publishing a series of wild stories. According to one of them, Ger- many has protested against the block- ade of the Philippine Islands and con- templates sending warships from Kiao- chau to uphold her protest. Another story, purporting to come from St. Petersburg, says Great Brit- ain upset Russia’s efforts at -~shing- ton because Great Britain is working hard to secure an Anglo-. -rican- German understanding, sia will meet by a league composed of all the other European powers.” LONDON, April 27.—The St. James Gazette this afternoon continues to lead the press hostility to the United States. It says: “Neither Spain nor America is in the east prepared for war. autumn before the mobs of men with muskets will be fit to trust in the field. They are no more at war, in the Euro- pean sense, than would be the squab- blings and filibustering of a couple of South American republics.” The St. James Gazette also publishes a letter from a correspondent, who re- | marks: “The wild hurry and nervous tremor with which the United States is pre- paring to encounter a seventh-rate power like Spain shows the ludicrous and contemptible position in which the braggarts would have been placed had Lord Salisbury given President Cleve- land the answer he richly deserved, and | so brought them face to face with the first naval power in the world.” WILL CAPTURE CLBAN PORTS Plans Completed for the Invasion of the Island.

Also Relates the Cruel, Heart- less Acts of Spaniards in America. Fiendish Deeds That Have Given th United States Ample Warrant for Declaring War. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, April 27.—The seventy- sixth anniversary of the birthday of General U. 8. Grant was celebrated to- night with a banquet at the Waldorf- Astoria, under the auspices of the Grant Monument - Association. Two hundred and forty-six guests were present. The principal speaker was Henry Watterson, whose subject was “The Reunited Sections.” He said in conclusion: If there was any doubt anywhere about e restoration of the Union, not merely fact and in name, but in the spirit to which it owes {t$ birth, themanifestations of the last few weeks cannot have failed to dissipate it. That Spanish gentleman who proposed to uupg!ement the forces of been the Knight of La Mancha come to life again, but quite as bereft of reason as he was i1 the days of Sancho Panza and the lady of Toboso; though, | in truth, most of those supporting Spain in her {ll-starred contention seem to be lineal descendants of the famous Don! Sir, the reunited sections of the Union | stand a wall of iron between the natlon’s | honor and. it need be, all the world; stand a wall of fire between the stricken Cubans and any further hurt from Spain. We want no other warrant for our act of war than the cruel, the heartless story of the Spaniard in America. From the ing of Cortez and Pizarro to the going er—three centuries of brutality, irradiated only by the pirate's lust for plunder and the tiger's thirst for blood— {each succeeding captain-general has seemed to emulate Alva as a rival of Satan by secking a nd immortality | of Aamnation. Before such an array, his- { torical and contemporary, the true Ameri- can neither consults his geography nor | counts the cost. His pulse-beats are the same in Massachu: s and in Mississip- pi, and whether the band plays “Yankee Doodle” or * s all one to him! Assuming that in ordinary times it takes but a few months and a change of rai- ment to ‘convert a typical Vermonter into a typical Texan, it has taken but a few weeks to impress upon the reunited sec- | tions of the Union the truth that we are the most homogeneous people on the face of the globe: that such differences as ex- ist among us are local and external, and not skin der- and, along with this les- son, to reawaken in all hearts Decatur's ringing words: “QOur cquntry—may she ever be in the right—but®right or wrong, our country!"” Mrs. U.

Brock. a prominent physician here, was returning from Chualar- Canyon last night his horse took fright at a band of sheep on the road, and ran away, upset- ting the buggy. The doctor was thrown out, striking on his head and being ren- dered unconscious. When discovered this morning he was suffering from a severe cut over the right eye, penetrating to the skull. His right hand was injured. Though b i his country in Cuba by Inciting the South to anather repellion must surely have painful the wounds. are not considered serious. NEW YORK, April 27.—The Wash- ington correspondent of the sends the following: Within three days the North Atlantic squadron will strike a blow at a Cuban port, which will result in the seizure of an Amer- ican base of operations. On high au- thority I learned to-day that Satur- day has been determined upon as the day of attack, and the Insurgents are collecting in the neighborhood of the port to be captured, for the purpose of ailding the men-of-war in its prompt reduction. All the necessary plans have been perfected, and the authori- ties have high hopes that they will be executed without much loss of life. In order to facilitate the work of the forces operating against the port se- lected, plans have been completed, as the Herald stated this morning, for making a demonstration either upon Havana or some other point which will draw the attention of Captain-General Blanco, and with that officer and his troops occupied in defending the sup- posed point of attack a second division of the fleet will be bombparding the port which will be taken, and under the fire of its guns 2000 marines and a number of blue jackets will be landed. Nineteen thousand_insurgents are ex- pected to aid in securing the evacuation or capitulation of the Spanish troops defending Havana when that point is attacked. It is genemlly understood that the army of 15,000 men which will be sent to the port proposed, after it has been taken, will at once fortify the place and through them arms and am- munition will be sent to the insurgents. In addition, I understand, a num- ber of large field guns will be sent to Cuba, and when the assault on Havana is commenced, the guns will be mounted on commanding elevations and will aid the American men-of-war in shelling the city. Concerning the details of their plans, the authorities are secretive, and be- vond admitting that the expedition is in contemplation, they will say noth- ing. The troops which will take part in the expedition are those at Tampa, Mobile and New Orleans. There are 5000 men at each of these points. Army transports have been collected in the gulf, and there will be a sufficient num- ber handy to take the troops when the word is given to move after the Cuban port has been captured.

REDDING, April 27.—A telegram was received in this city shortly after noon announcing the destruction by fire to-day of the lumber vards belonging to Leland, Wood & Sheldon, about a mile this side of Sissan. The company owns a large sawmill, and the lumber yards extend along the track of the Southern Pacific Company for near;\y a quarter of a mile. The origin of the fire is not known. The greater portion of the lumber stored in the yards was burned. The mill escaped destruction. _The loss is estimated at from $8000 to $10,000, partially insured. Menlo Park Hotel Burns. MENLO PARK, April 27.—Shortly after noon to-day a fire broke out in the rear of the Park House, consuming the build- ing. A strong wind was blowing and the flames spread to an adjoining plumbing op owned by Joseph Ahlert, totally de- Ctroying it. The hqtel was valued af 33000 and was partially insured. There was ho insurance on the plumbing shop. The Fire Department of Redwood City was called, but arrived too late to be of any assistance. R A Fell to Death. VENTURA, April 2.—A. R.

It found expression in the following resolution adopted by a unanimous vote: The Native Sons of the Golden West, in Grand Parlor assembled, this 27th day of April, 1895, true to our cardinal principie of loyalty, reaffirm allegiance to our State and our nation and with the Stars and Stripes on our altar, renew our obligation and declare ourselves as ever ready to serve our country, loyal to uner call whether in peace or war.

The matter was, by consent, referred to a committee instructed to prepare a suit- | able resolution. | It has been decided to defer the elec- | tlon of grand officers to serve during the year until Friday. as the business that is yet to come before the body will consume the time of to-morrow’s session. This understanding is ac- ceptable to the many candidates for office, as it will allow them another day in which to canvass for votes. The contest for the seven places on the board of grand trustees promises to be exciting, as there are more than a dozen candidates in the field. Grand Marshal C. O. Dunbar is making a hard fight for a place on the board, and his friends believe his prospects of being elected particularly bright. Henry Lichenstein of Alcatraz Parlor has withdrawn from the contest out of | courtesy to some of his personal friends, who are seeking a seat in the board.

NAPA, April 27.—The fourteen-room house belonging to Mrs. Bryant was de- stroyed by fire at Yountville at 4 o’clock this morning. The fire was probably in- cendiary, as an attempt to burn the same dwelling was made a few days ago but without success. Mrs. Bryant was away from home at the time the fire occurred, and nothing was saved. Less than two months ago a house be- longing to Mrs. Bryant was burned on her raneh near Yountville. The supposition is that some person having a grudge against the lady is re- sponsible for the conflagrations, The dwelling was one of the old land- marks of the village of Yountville and was worth several thousand dollars and was protected by $2000 insurance. it i Canning Compeny Fails.

Four Relatives Who May In- herit Peter Christensen’s Wealth. Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, April 27.—The only sur- viving heirs of Peter Christensen, who died several months ago in this county, leaving an estate valued at $150,000, have been found. They reside in Ger- many and were cousins of the de- ceased. The discovery of the heirs was made by Budd & Thompson of this city, who will represent the new claimants in the struggle for the fortune. Notice of the existence of the heirs was filed in the Superior Court to-day. ‘When the news came that the rich old farmer had died and that no will could be found a number of persons instituted search for relatives. It was the general supposition that he had no near kinsfolk, but Mr. Thompson as- certained his place of birth, and com- municated with the authorities there through the German Consul of San Francisco. Christensen was born in-a little town in Denmark, and a search was made of the records there. It was| found that four cousins of the deceased | were still living—three women and one man. The latter is Hans C. Thorel- sen. The family name of the women was also Thorelsen, but they are now married. Their marriage names are Cathberine M. Jacobsen, Christine M. Wolff and Helen M. Haverner. In all likelihood the fortune of $150,000 will be divided among these cousins, for the law firm says that proof of their relationship is absolute and that it can be proved that they are the only sur- viving heir: PEACE TREATY SIGNED.
