Spectal Dispatch to The Call. , SAN JOSE, Aug. 5.—The Republicans {of Santa Clara County who have in- dorsed the manly and fearless words of Chairman Major Frank McLaughlin | of the Republican State Central Com- | mittee are determined to leave no stone unturned to have a good, clean Repub- i lican ticket to present to the public at | the election this fall. They are working every moment to have the voters of each of the precincts of the county put | forward good honest men as delegutes to be voted for at the primaries on Au- | gust 10—men who are opposed to boss- ism, corruption and fraud. The “gang,” with all its cohorts, is ‘(irculutmg all manner of reports de- | rogatory to the character and standing ‘ur many prominent members of the league. The Good Government League was organized six months ago and for the sole purpose of ridding the Republican party and the voters of Santa Clara County of thelr grossest incubus—a po- | litical boss, with his organized cchorts | and supporters. Its membership now | numbers over 1600, and the ume has | arrived when they are ready to come | openly before the public. In keepiug | with that policy the members held { their initial open meeting at Moreland Schoolhouse "Lhursday evening, where a number of interesting speeches were made by officers of the league and by | residents of the vicinity. Frofessor S. | B. Saunders was the presiding officer, | and the voters and their families turned | out in full force. When Luey left tne | hall many were the determined re- marks to leave no stone unturned 15 give the better element a fair ¢ppor- tunity to express their choice at the | primaries. Bealiot-box stuffing, illegal | voting, the voting of Democrats, 1lie- | gal ballot counting and many oth gang devices are expected, and the Good Government League will endeavor to prevent these frauds. The movement headed by the Good Government Club is a general uprising of the populace against the methods of Boss Rea and the Mackenzies. For years these politicians have run things in Santa Clara County and few public officers had the backbone to oppose thermr It was the crookedness of these ringsters that has brought Santa Clara County's name into {ll-repute and made it a by-word all over the State. The fact that the leaders of the gang were Republicans also cast odium upon that pea in the county, and all honest and decent Republicans were | being driven from their organization. { Things reached such a state that it be- | came necessary for the better members of the party to act in order to save the county from either becoming Demo- cratic or Populistic. It was at this time that the Good Government Club was organized. In it the Republican voters w their party’s salvation and the freedom of the county from gang rule. Jim Rea and the Mackenzies are wor- ried over the outcome of the primarie next Wednesday. For years they have had things their own wav and now that the Good Government Club has decided to drive them from the Repub- lican party they hardly know which ¥ to turn. In the past week they have made desperate efforts to et their forces together. All their lleutenants are hard at work, and they will do all they can to down the better element at the polls. The school system has been polluted by the ring dabbling in its affairs, and thousands of dollars of needless ex- | ~ense have been saddled upon the tax- pa | for their henchmen. | . The recent trouble in the High School has done a great deal to stir up things. 'he revolt of the students against the dismissal of Professor R. Smith | from the High School has proved the means of informing the pupils’ parents of the way things are conducted in the | the | School Department. Charges of immorality in the school were made from the pulpit by the Rev. with ~ the Americ and | Dr. Maclaren a few weeks ago. A few . Mr. Wildman, the United | days after Bos g : e TV an, the United| days after Boss Rea waited upon the clergyman and asked him to keep quier He said it would do no good to stir up the matter and would give the 3:hooi a bad reputation. Dr. Maclaren re- | fused to be hushed up by the boss. | Principal A. E. Shumate of the High | Schcol has made several trips to Dr. | Maclaren’s residence on the same mis- sicn. During the past ten days Rea has been stopping the High Schaol students on the streets and taking | them into his office. He tried to | coax the students to return to the boy- | cotted school next term and when they refused he used threats. It is safe to predict that not over 100 of the 325 students of the High School will attend next year. Most of thenswill go to the Santa Clara School, where Professor Smith has been elected principal. Thus the empty new $75,000 High School promises to stand a monument to the corruption of Boss Rea and the old City Board of Education. The meeting of the club to-morrow will be the largest and most enthusias- tic ever held. All arrangements for the primaries will be completed. Ad- dresses will be made by prominent members. FOR THE AMERICA’S CUP. Sir Thomas Lipton Explains the Na- ture of His Challenge. LONDON, August 5—Sir Thomas Lipton informs the Associated Press that the Yacht Racing Assoclation has no jurisdiction in the matter of his challenge for a series of races for the America’s cup, the Royal Ulster Yacht Club having, as a matter of etiquetta, asked the approval and advice of the association. Therefore, the Royal Ul- ster Yacht Club will issue an independ- | ent challenge within a few days. | The fact has just transpired that ten days ago Sir Thomas Lipton visited Marlborough House and presented the Princess of Wales with a check for £100,000 to start dining rooms in Lon- don, at which working people may se- cure substantial meals for from 2 to 8 cents. There will be a central dining room, capable of accommodating 2000 people simultaneously. It is expected that froin eight to ten thousand din- ners will be served there daily. The trustees, of which the Princess or ‘Wales will be one, will shortly be ap- pointed to manage the project, which ¥m t!.;a known as the ‘‘Alexandra rust.” :rs in order to supply soft plucusi 3 CAPTAIN CHARLES E. CLARK, Who Has Been Invalided Home. COMMANDER CLARK I3 ILL The News a Shock to His Friends. ;HAS BEEN INVALIDED HOME | CHARACTER OF HIS ILLNESS/ NOT KNOWN. | Captain Barker of the Newark Ap-‘ pointeu to the Command of the Famous Battle-Ship Oregon. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—A Washington | | special to the Herald says: Captain | Charles E. Clark, commanding the bat- | tleship Oregon, has been condemned by the Board of Medical Survey and has been detached and granted six months’ leave. Orders to this effect were is- sued to-day by Secretary Long. This | was the result of a cablegram from Rear Admiral Sampson announcing that Captain Clark has been ill, and is now unfit to remain in command of his ship. The cause of the officer's dis- ability Is not known. Secretary Long and Captain A. Crowninshield, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, had a conference, during which it was deter- mined to transfer Captain A. S. Bar- | | ker, commanding the Newark, to the | battleship as Captaln Clark's suc- ‘ cessor. { The news of Captain Clark's lllness | came as a shock to his Washington | friends in and out of the navy, who have followed with Intense interest his | notable trip from San Francisco | arourd the Horn to Florida, and noted | | with added Interest his conduct of the | Oregon in the battle with Cervera's | | squadron. It is believed at the Navy Depart- ment that Captain Clark is suffering | from some climatic affection, induced probably by the tremendous strain un- der which he has been for months. Captain Clark entered the navy on | the 20th day of September, 1860. He was commissioned as captain on the | 21st of June, 1896, and took command | of the Oregon on the 17th of last March. He is a powerful man, both physically | and mentally. He has never known | what it is to be sick, having had scarce- | ly a day’s sickness in his life. | NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Tribune, tele- | | graphing of Captain Clark’s illness, says: For some days it had been known that the strain of overwork incidental | to the memorable voyage of his peer- less ship around Cape Horn and the arduous tour of watch duty off San- tiago, culminating in the magnificent dash past the other battleships when Admiral Cervera attempted to escape, had serjously affected Captain Clark’s | physical strength and that he was on | | the verge of breaking down. Only a | | few weeks ago his responsibilities were augmented by the selection of the Ore- gon as Commodore Schley’s flagship | | and orders were issued appointing Captain Clark chief of staff. | | The additional duties imposed by this | assignment were of an exhausting and | | worrying character and they quickly told on him. Naval officers fear that | Captain Clark’s active career is ended, | although In rare instances a period of | rest has resulted in the complete re- | cuperation of officers under somewhat similar ecircumstances, notably in the case of Admiral Sicard, who was com- pelled to relinquish command of the North Atlantic squadron several months ago, but has been able to pre- slde over the sessions of the Naval War Boar ' GOOD ROADS FOR MOmEY. Two New Boulevards Completed Be- tween Salinas and Spreckels. SALINAS, Aug. 5.—Two new boulevards to Spreckels, extending over a distance of | five miles, were completed this afternoon. | The new roads are the best in the county and are the first and onli' lime-rock roads | ever bullt in the State. In their construc- tion over 15,000 cubic yards of lime rock | from the Spreckels quarry at Alisal was used and rolled. Under the personal su- pervision of George W.

SECOND TRIP SUCCESSFUL Return of the Wanderer to Key West. LANDS HER CARGO IN CUBA ARMS AND AMMUNITION FOR INSURGENTS. Three Different Points Are Supplied Without Accident or Any Necessity for Firing a Shot. Special Dispatch to The Call. KEY WEST, Aug. 5.—The steamship ‘Wanderer returned here to-day after effecting a successful landing of arms three different points on the Cuban coast. She left here early in July with about forty Cubans and eleven members of the Third United States Cavalry to protect the landing of about 200 rifles and carbines, with nearly a million car- tridges. On July 23 she attempted to discharge her cargo at Bahia Honda, province of Pinar del Rlio, but was fcught off by a force of 700 Spaniards, who peppered the ship’s hull with Mauser bullets, killed three Cuban scouts who were waiting to receive the expedition and wounded six of the Wanderer's crew. The steamer then came back to Key West, left her injured men in the hos- pital here and started on her second attempt. This time she went té a point about six miles east of Bahla Honda, where she met a small party of insu:- gents from Colonel Zarillo’'s forces, but no Spaniards. About one-third of her cargo was discharged here and twenty- five Cubans were put ashore. The Wanderer then headed for the mouth of the Manati River, province of Puerto Principe, where on the night of July 30 she landed without difficulty about the same quantity of arms and ammunition and seven Cubans. From there she went to Puerto Padre, in the same province, where the remainder of her cargo and men were disembarked. All three landings were made without the necessity of firing a shot. NINE SURVIVORS OF THE TUG KEYSER RESCUED But Captain Allen, Who Was in Com- mand, the Steward and a Fireman Were Lost. PENSACOLA, Fla., Aug. 5.—The fish- ing smack Isabella arrived here this frernoon with nine survivors of the tug W. G. Keyser of this port, which left here Tuesday morning to meet the tug Nimrod of Mobile, off Cape San Blas, and assist with a tow.

General Wheeler Tells of the Great Battle — Praises His Troops and Reports the Casual- ties to Officers. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—The follow- ing report of Major General Joseph ‘Wheeler on the operations before San- tiago de Cuba has been made public: _ BEFORE SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 7, 1898.—To the Adjutant General, Fifth Army Corps—Sir: After the engagement of June 24 1 pushed forward my com- mand through the valley, Lawton’s and Kent's commands occupying the hills in the vicinity of that place. After two days’ rest, Lawton was ordered forward, and on the night of the 3th instructions were givens by Major General Shafter to this office to attack Caney, while the cav- alry division and Kent's division were ordered to move forward on the regular Santiago road. The movement com- menced on. the morning of July 1. The cavalry dlvision advanced and formed in line with its left near the Santlago road, while Kent's division formed its line with the right joining the left of the cavalry division. Colonel McClernand of General Shaf- ter's staff directed me to give instruc- tions to General Kent, which 1 complied with in person, at_the same time per- sonally directing General Summer to move forward. The men were all com- pelled to wade the San Juan River to et fnto line, This was done under very eavy fire of both infantry and artillery. Our balloon, having been sent right by the main road, was made a mark of by the enemy. It was evident that we were as much under fire in forming the line as we would be by an advance, and I there- fore pressed the command forward from the covering under which it was formed, It emerged into open space in full view of the enemy, who occupied breastworks and batteries on the crest of the hill which overlocks Santiago, officers and men falling at every step. The troops advanced gallantly, soon reached the foot of the hill and ascended, driving the enemy from their works and occupying them on the crest of the hill. To accomplish this required courage and determination on the part of officers and men of a high order, and the losses were very severe. Too much credit cannot be given to General Summer and General Kent and their gallant brigade com- Colonel Wood an: Colonel Carroll of the cavalry; General Hamilton S. Hawkins, commanding the First Bri- gade, Kent's division, and Colonel Pear- | son, ‘commanding the Second Brigade. | Colonel Carroll and Major Wessels were | enabled to return and resume command, | General Wyckoff, commanding Kent's | Third Brigade, was killed at 12:10; Lieu- tenant Colonel Worth took command and was wounded at 12:15; Lieutenant Colo- nel Liscum then took command and was wounded at 12:20, and the command then devolved upon Lieutenant Colonel Ewers, | Ninth Infantry. Upon reaching the crest I ordered breastworks to be constructed and sent to the rear for shovels, picks, spades and axes. The enemy's retreat from the ridge was precipitate, but our men were so thoroughly exhausted that it was im- possible for them to follow. Their shoes | were soaked with \ater by wading the | San Juan River. They “had become drenched with rain, and when they reached the crest they were absolutely unable to proceed further. Notwithstand- ing this condition these exhausted men labored during the night to erect breast- works and furnished details to bury the dead and carry the wounded back in im- rovised litters. I sent word along the fine that reinforcements would soon reach us and that Lawton ‘would join our right | and that General Bates would come up | and strengthen our left. After reaching the crest of the ridge | General Kent sent the Thirteenth Regu- lars to assist in strengthening our right. At midnight General Bates reported and laced him in a strong position on the left of our line. General Lawton had at- | tempted to join us from Caney, but when very mear our lines he was fired upon by the Spaniards and turned back, but joined us next day at noon by a circuitous During ail the day on July 2 the i manders, | route. cavalry division, Kent's division and Bates' brigade were engaged with the enemy, being subjected to a flerce fire and incurring many casualties, and later in the day Lawton's division also became engaged.

SANTA CLARA BILL SHAVING Attorney LeibWields»th Knife. ; CUTS INTO THE EDUCATORS WOULD NOT ALLOW CERTAIN CHARGES. Instructs Officials of the Board of Education as to How They Should Present Their Claims. AR Spectal Dispatch to The Call. "~ SAN JOSE, Aug. 5.—Attorney S. F. Leib, to whom was referred the legality of bills of members of the County Board of Education, rendered an opin- fon to-day that is likely to affect a number of monthly claims »presented to the county. The opinion states that all bills of expenses of officials must be jtemized and contain dates and names of parties to whom paid. He holds ‘that members of the Board of Education are only entitled to pay when a quorum is present, and that part of a day shall not be counted as a whole. He recom- mends that an expense bill filed by Su- perintendent ipman for $13 90 be cut to $340; that &nother for $5470 be cut to §5 70, and that he be allowed to file new bills without prejudice; also that the claim of Superintendent Chipman for $120 for services as secretary of theé board be cut to $35, as it is not shown that there were any more meetings of the board. Bills of other members of the board also came in for a good shaving, and it is shown that they made the same mistake in overcharging as Chipman. Miss Cornelia Farley's bill is scaled down from $110 to $60; that of H. M. Bland from $120 to $60; Elmer Brown- ell’s from $114 20 to $69 20; W. W. Pet- tit from $123 40 to $60 70. - Attorney Leib says that no services should be paid for which the minutes of the board do not show .to have been performed. Superintendent Chipman - claimed that as secretary of the board he was entitled to $5 per day for each timie the board met, as he was obliged to write up the minutes and attend to other matters. The claims of other members were for work done.at home on examination papers. 3 e WEAK AND WEARY WEN There is help. There is assistance that actually alters the state of living, Weak men have weak backs. Weary men do not feel inclined to work. Weak and weary men have no such feeling as that of full power or of vitality. They are at all times forced to confess that they are unfit Io)- the duties of man. A man who is full of power goes at his daily work with vim and a sense that he can accomplish all he desires to, The puny man never does this. He fears at all times. He shakes.
