The Oakland Light Cavalry is rapidly increasing in membership and in a short time will be fully equipped with accou- terments and horses. They received in- formation to-day from the Government headquarters that the necessary saddles and harness for the ‘horses, which under ordinary circumstances would cost $32, will be supplied to the light cavalry for one-quarter of this amount. ‘Walter Morosco has promised to supply all of the cavalry with horses, and as there are now nearly sixty members, his obligation will not be slight. The Government will supply part of the equipment, and headquariers will be opened at once. The men have enrolled on the understanding, that on an emer- | gency call they will join the regular army as individuals, although they will make every effort to serve as a unit, if possible. The company will practice dail with their carbines and sabers, and a most of the members have had Some mil- itary experience the cavalry will soon be in a state of efficiency. | Those rolled up to the present time 3 are: Will D.

A novel plea was introduced by Attor- | ney Gallagher in Judge Low’s court yes- | terday in the search warrant case of Mrs. | Jennie Kean for the possession of her per- | sonal effects, which were being held by Jesus Borboa, proprietor of the Spanish- | American Hotel, for non-payment of rent. Mrs. Kean denies that she is due any | rent, but as she cannot produce her re- cefpts, which she alleges have been stolen from her trunk, she has nothing to back | up her assertion. Attorney Gallagher | thereupon, after securing evidence to the effect that no notice was posted up in the | rooms that non-payment of rent wouid | entitle the landlord to a lien on the ef- | fects of the occupant. argued that the absence of such notice prevented Borboa | from laying vlaim to Mrs. Kean's effects | tiil her rent was pald. The plea was new to the Judge, and as Gallagher promised to submit authorities in support of his argument the Judge continued the case to enable him to produce his authorities, The point is interesting to all hotel- keepers. The fight between Mrs. Kean and Bor- boa is a bitter one. He had her arrested last week for assault with a deadly weapon in_chasing him_ with a hatchet and Judge Low dismissed the case, Then he had her arrested for maiicious mi: chief for breaking in the panel of her door with a hatchet because he put a adlock on it to prevent her from remov- ng her effects, and that case has not vet been decided. Mrs. Kean meantime obtained a search warrant to recover her effects, and they are now in the posses- slon of Property Clerk Mora —_————————— St. Markus School Picnic.

Bor- den Into the Road and Breeks His Leg. ALAMEDA, May 23.—Ivy L. Borden of 1501 Van Ness avenue, San Francisco, superintendent of the Alameda Water Works Company, was upset in his cart on Broadway late this afternoon and had one of his legs broken. An eye-witness gives the following ac- count of the aff: Borden was driving down Broadway, near Eagle avenue, in a light sulky with a young and spirited horse, and driving by his side In a buggy torney. m'l‘he xlx,len were engaged in a spirited conversation, which ,was carried on on fhe part of Cohen in so loud a voice as to attract attention. Finally Cohen re- Quested Borden ““to come out to one side and they would better man.” Borden returned some reply Which was not audible, and then Cohen eined his horse toward Borden's. ‘The vehicles became entangled in such a way that Borden was upset and his Jeg was broken. An eye witness says Cohen was the aggressor. " very sorry that Mr. Borden was l‘:?ured,'y sald Mr. Cohen to-night when seen at his residence. *I feel that it was all due to his own carelessness.

We had had some words, but that does not amount to anything. I cer- talnly am sorry that this affair is so serious. g Borden’s broken leg was set at his residence late last night.

WASHINGTON May 23.—The dis- patches from Madrid, giving the sharp debate in the Cortes over the alleged flying of the Spanish flag by American warships, created much comment in naval circles. Spain’s protest to the powers that this use of the flag was “cowardly and iniquitous” was dis- missed by naval officers with the state- ment that international law agreed on the right to use an enemy's flag for purposes of deceit, so long as Rules United | the flag s taken down before a shot is fired. The United States naval regu- lations make specific provision on this The Navy Department recently issued an edition of Snow’s Naval Pre- cedence, a standard work on naval usage in time of peace and war. In this the doctrine of the use of the enemy’s flag is stated as follow: “The regulations cf the United States navy state that the use of a foreign flag to deceive an enemy is permissi- ble, but that it must be hauled down before a gun is fired, and under no ecir- cumstances is an action to be com- menced or an engagement fought with- out the display of the national en- sign.” The foregoing rule, both by regula- Red Cross | fety 15 called | al | ed Cross flag and pole on the | ous Alfred H. Cohen of Fruitvale, son | of the late A. A. Cohen, the well-known | soon settle which was the | tion and by the textbooks distributed to the navy, is.a guide for all naval officers. Practically, the same rule is applied to the use of an enemy’s uni- form. The statement made the Spanish Minister of the Interior that the Gov= ernment is likely to resort to privateer. ing does not cause any apprehension among officlals here. One of the high- est authorities of the Navy Department said Spain would adopt.privateering if she felt it to be to her interest, with- out waiting for this country to give any pretext for such action. It is felt, however, that Great Britain, Germany and France will have considerable to say in case Spain resorts to privateer- ing. The commerce of these countries with the United States would suffer very severely by Spanish privateering, and its effect would be far more dis- astrous to these foreign interests than to the shipping of the United States. It was this influence of Great Britain, Germany and France which forced Spain reluctantly to forego privateer- !ng“and it is not thought probable the forelgn influences will now consent to | have their commerce destroyed. — M. ZOLA'S SECOND TRIAL COMMENCES | Proceedings at Once Checked by an | Appeal to the Court of | . Cassation. VERSAILLES, May 23.—The second trial of M. Emile Zola on the charge of criminal libel, based on the charges which he bronght against the officers who conducted the Esterhazy courtmar- tial, commenced in the Assizes Court here. But few of the general public were admitted within the precincts of the court, and rigorous measures were adopt- ed to preserve order. There was no ex- citement -on the arrival of the ac- cused, # M. Labori, counsel for M. Zola, imme- diately questioned the competency of the court on the ground that the alleged of- fense was committed in Paris, and that only a Parisian jury was competent to try_the case. 'he- Procureur-General Bertfand ot the Paris court, who acts as Public Pro- secutor, upheld the ‘competency of the court. He said to M. Labori: “You de- ire to prolong matters, but we intend o end the case. Be assured that the s t country has had enough—do you hear?— | of_this perilous agitation.” The court then upheld its competency | to try the case, whereupon M. Labori announced that he appealed to the Court of Cassation upon that point. The trial was then adjourned, pending the hearing of the appeal. On leaving the court M. Zola was greeted with cries of “Down with Zola!” intermingled with cheers for him and cheers for the army.

LONDON, May 23.—The St. James Gazette this afternoon, in its financial article, said: 1In the foreign market this morning several leading dealers were said to be in possession of ad- vance news of the forthceming an- nouncement of a Franco-Spanish alli- ance, hence the rise in Spanish 4's. In connction with the above, it is cur- rently reported that therecentspeeches eph Chamberlain did not refer to West | Africa, but to this impending alliance, against which Mr. Chamberiain’s allu- sion to an Anglo-American alliance was intended as a counter blast.

The Journal of Commerce was one of the bidders on the contract, its bid being 7 cents a name for poll tax, personal property tax and real estate, or 21 cents for a name under the three heads. The bid was low enough, but before the contract was awarded it was sought to withdraw the bid on the ground that the recent fire in Francis, Valentine & Co.’s printing-house had de- | stroyed the means by which the Journal hoped to carry out the contract. The next bid above that of the Journal { was the Report’'s, which was 40 cents a | name. Then came the Post's offer, which | was 43 cents a name. The list must be out | by June 5, and so it was imperative that the contract should be let, and in view of these facts the committee recommend- | ed that the Report's bid be accepted. | The Board of Supervisors thought dif- ferently, however, and yesterday decided | that the Journal of Commerce could not | withdraw its bid and that it could make other arrangements besides the one with Francis, Valentine & Co., and although | there {s no check up to guarantee the ful- fillment of the Journal's contract, siill, the Supervisors are going to hold the paper to Its bid, and will, if possible, | compel it to perform its agreement. | | The Occidental Club was another one to | feel the adverse power of the board. It ‘wanted a permit for an athletic exhibition | to be given this month, but the permit was denied, although almost wit! the same breath permits were granted to the National Club for June or July, the Cali- fornia Club and the Manhattan Club. The Occidental is Herget's club, and Herget made the trouble that nearly brought two of the Supervisors to grief before the Grand Jury. The change of the name of the boule- vard from Balboa to Dewey came up | again under Clinton’s motion to recon- sider the vote of last week making the change. There were several native sons present to protest against the taking away of the name they had given, but their protests were unavalling. Later Clinton tried to bring the matter up | again by a resolution providing for the “great fighway” along the ocean the name of Balboa, but Devany moved to substitute the name of Lincoin, and then Clinton withdrew his resolution and sub- sided. The veto of the Mayor on a bill for $1400 | for sewer work on the main sewer south of the park was sustained by the board by a close vote. The Mayor believed the bill to be exorbitant. A veto on the ordi nance requiring paperhangers to scrape clean all walls before papering or paint ing them was also sustained. It was found to be a matter for regulation by | the Health Department. | A resolution awarding the contract for lighting public buildings to- the Pacific Gas and Improvement Company for $1 50 r thousand cubic feet was passed, after objection by Clinton, who thought the rate too high. Haskins submitted a resolution provid- ing for the immediate consideration of a successor for the late Police Judge Camp- | bell, but it was decided to postpone the | matter until the next meeting of the | board. | Jones & O'Donnell were retained to col- | lect all money due from the State to the | city during 1898 for the maintenance of | fndlgents. They will receive 30 per cent of the amount obtained. STREET IMPROVEMENTS. i Summary of the Week’s Work of the Board.

The Prince of Wales and the Duke of York will be among the pall-bearers. The Duke of Connaught, the Duke of Cam- bridge and Prince Christian of Schleswig- Holstein-Sonderburg will precede the coftin. Political associations will not be represented; but the members of Parlia- ment will attend in a procession, headed | by the Speaker of the Fruse of Com- i mons, the Right Hon. William * Court Gully. At a meeting of the members of the American Colony, held last evening at the Holborn restaurant, it was decided to send cxgjl:esxinns of sympathy to Mrs. Gladstone. The suggestion was made that the United States should erect a monu- ment, each State of the Union contribut- inF a block of stone for the base. A com- mittee was formed under the chairman- ship of Dr. Conwell to take further steps in carrying out the suggestion.

Spofford alley presented a lively scene yesterday afternoon when deputy sheriffs | § served an attachment and order of evie- | tion on Goy Sing, a grocer, conducting a | | store at No. 14. The merchant himself was not present, but his Mongolian brothers took possession of his goods as soon as they were put into the street and numerous fights resulted from the desire | of each man to secure as much of the booty as he could get away with. The eviction was the outcome of a suit filed by Heloine Chamberlain, the owner | of the building, to collect $5 rent due. Deputy Sheriff Jesse Galland with eight assistants and an attachment for an iron tion presented himself at the store early in the afternoon and found the safe and contents and an order of evic- | pro- | rietor away and the store locked.

The deputies even had to keep a strong guard around the heavy safe to prevent its being carried off by the crowd of hungry fortune hunters. —_————————— vare of .the Insane.
