SIEK AND WOUNDED REACH FORT MONROE FORT MONROE, Va., Au~. 7.—One B | uity of the | the Orleans dynas REA'S MINIONS WELL COACHED Determined to Carry the Primaries. STUFFING TO BE ATTEMPTED “BOSS” CONTROLS OFFICERS. ELECTION Honest Republicans of Santa Clara} County Need to Be Alert at | the Polls on Wednes- day. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 7.—All is bustle in the Rea camp these days and active preparations are under way to capture the primaries next Wednesday. The “boss” has given his lleutenants ex- plicit instructions, and if necessary they will attempt to stuff the ballot | boxes to carry the day. The First and | Fourth wards of this city will be the | battle-ground, and it is there the Rea forces are hard at work. The election officers appointed for the polls in this city are all Rea men. This | will give the gang an unequal advan- | tage over the better element of the peo- ple, but the latter. aided by the Good Government Club, are determined to overcome the obstacles placed in their way. If necessary force will be used | to insure a fair election. The following list of election officers, appointed at ‘‘Boss” Rea’s dictaton, shows how the gang has captured the election booths: | First Ward—Judge, Henry Welch; in- spector, Bert Fabens. Welch has a daughter in the schools and is ready to| do the gang's bidding. Second Ward—Judge, George W. Lee; inspector, F. C. Jacobs. Lee was jani- tor of a school at one time and has fihfl; promise of another janitorship. Third Ward—Judgs, Willlam Drelsch- m inspector, G. A. Clark. Fourth Ward—Jjudge, J. I Bradley; in- | spector, Joseph F. Villar, Bradley Is| finance clerk to the Board of Supervisors and Villar the manager of the California Club, where all political schemes are hatched. From this list it will be seen that un- less the good citizens turn out on the day of the -rimaries and take off their coats the gang will have things its own E: It is in the First and Fourth that the election will be hottest. An attempt will be made to steal these two wards. The Democratic members of the gang have been told to turn out and vote and all sorts of promises have been made to ~eot the indenendent and well-meaning Republicans into line. So sure Is Rea of being able to control this territory that he had the number | of delegates in each of these wards in- creased. By getting these wards it is proposed to offset the opposition that has arisen to the boss at Santa Clara and other suburbs. There are 165 dele- gates in the county convention, and with the First and Fourth wards solid | Rea will have twenty-four delevates to start with. Of the 165 votes In the con- vention 107 are from outside precincts. | The gang figures on getting the sixty- | five in the city and enough from the| outside districts to give a majority. Outside of the city the fight will be a hard one. The Good Government Club has organized every precinct and the members will make a gallant nght | to #-~a the Republican party from cor- ruption and boss rule. To oftset the good influences aroused by the r=~aniz- ation the county funds are beine used. Roads are being bullt, bridges con- structed and all sorts of count- work bel. done by the different Supervisors. and those who are opposed to Rea and his methods are being sought and given employment. Bv this means it is pro- posed to reconcile the dissenters and get them into line to vote. - | DR. W'LAREN REPLIES ‘f TO THE GANG'S THREATS SAN JOSE, Aug. T.—Rev. Dr. Mo- | Laren of the Second Presbyterian Church takes an active interest in mu- nicipal affairs. About a month ago from his pulpit he made charges of im- | morality against members of the fac- High School. Since then Boss Rea, Principal Shumate of the chool and others have been en- ring to silence him. In this they have been unsuccessful, and as a last| resort have threatened to have the | young lady teachers belonging to his| church dismissed from the School De- | partment. Rev. Mr. McLaren touched | upon this In his sermon this morning. | There was a large congregation present | and intense interest prevailed during! the remarks. At the close there was a loud “amen” all over the church. He said in part: Let us conslder tne strange and alarm- | ing condition in our city. Our beautiful | High School building, where we exx;m‘cl:(}‘ | our children to be educated. surrounded | by the most ennobling influences, is ap- | proaching completion, but the young peo- ple for whom it was erected are turning | away and refusing to enter it. I have met | many of them and heard them give their | reasons for the stand they have taken, and 1 know that they feel as strongly as | ever heroes did in battle that they are standing for a great principle, and par- ents will assume a grave responsibility if they compel them to violate their cori- victions. have examined this matter carefully and speak deliberately and with | earnest feeling. In 1848 Louis Philippe, the King of the | French, awoke one morning in the Tuil- lerles and heard shouts and a great tu- mult in the streets of Paris. He sald to | his Prime Minister: ““Phere seems o be a riot in the city.” And the reply was: ‘“Ho, sire, it is not | a riot; it Is a revolution.” A few minutes later the King was hur- rying out of Parls in peril of his life, and was ended. There are a few people in San Jose who affect to sneer at the action of the young men and women of our High School us riot due to a restless spirit and a senti- | mental love for a teacher who has been | removed. But this is not a riot nor a rockless burst of feeling; 1t 13 a “revolu- tion.” The principle for which these youn people stand lies in the fact that there is a part of the facuity of the High School | for which they have lost all respect. Pro- fessor Smith was removed from his posi- tion, and newspapers under the influence of his enemies have hurled columns of abuse upon him. HIs pupils caerish for him the most profound respect. They indignantly resent the treatment he has recelved. This has determined the time and manner of this revolution, but it is not the cause of it, and they ‘will never voluntarily return to the school until this hateful condition is removed. The character of the disgraceful state of affairs is, as I sald in a former dis- course, common fame all over our city. The existence of this common fame needs no proof—it proves itself. Go almost any- where and you can hear it. In person and by letter I have received countless ex- pressions of approval and pledges of sup- port in the stand we have taken, some of these even coming from persons in close official touch with the High School. From other sources 1 have recelved warnings and threatenings. A threat comes “that unless we let this matter drop all the young lady teachers in our church will iose their positions.” This has an old familiar sound. If it ever silenced a preacher, I predict it never will again. | lican voters in the town. | Crustus, Tax_Collector: | Auditor’ and Recorder; ‘A | first The Spanish style of warfare is an abom- ination all over the world—slaughtering defenseless women and proclaiming a great victory; persecuting young lady teachers instead of fighting fairly in the open fleld with men! Another made the warning: ‘“You can- not win. When you get through the gang will be on top, and where will you be?"" There is a fatal mistake here. Such a warning has no terrors for a preacher of righteousness. When Noah got through preaching to his generation the deluge came, and where were his enemies and where was he? When Abraham ot through interceding for_ Sodom, the day of its judgment came. When Christ got through warning and weeping over Jeru- salem, the day of its doom came. And when the preachers of righteousness of San Jose get through there will be no corrupt gang on top. Our prayer to God is that there may be no judgment on our city, but rather a triumph of glory and honor. i et Monterey’s Republican Club.

RUSSIA PRACTICALLY CLOSES THE OPEN DOOR 'fakes Possession of New Chwang, North China—A Report That May Console England. LONDON, Aug. 8.—The Shanghal correspondent of the Daily Malil says: Russia is now practically in possession of New Chwang, and “the open door” in North Chi is already shut. The correspondent of the Daily News at Odessa gives under reserve a report that the Russian Charge d'Affaires at Peking (M. Pavloff) will soon be re- moved, and he regards it as indicating a Russian backdown. EAGER TO RACE FOR THE AMERICA CUP Royal Ulster Yacht Club Hopes Thut‘ Its Challenge Will Be Accepted. LONDON, Aug. 7.—Secretary H. C. Kel- 1y of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club does not expect an answer to the communica- tions to the New York Yacht Club rela- tive to the arrangement for races for the Amerfeca cup mucn before the end of the week. He realized that a council of the New York Yacht Club must be summon- ed to discuss the matter, and while he earnestly hopes for an uccor!a‘pce he rec- ognizes ‘that the New York Yacht Club has difficulties to surmount, owing to the members being sc.tiered on account of the war with Spain and for other rea- son: Yesterday's cable dispatch was simply a notification that we Royal Ulster Yacht Club would do itself the honor to chal- lenge for the cup if agreeable to the New York Yacht Club. All connected with the challenge show the keenest int.rest, and Mr. Kelly says they will allow nothing to debar them from competing for the coveted trophy, except a definite refusal on the part of the New York Yacht Club. There is every disposition to meet the wishes of the New York Yacht Club. and in the event of the latter unding difficul- ties in arranging for a race in 1569 owing to possible disorganization, caused by the Hispano-American war, the challengers will ask that the matter be postponed for a year, and that no other challenge be accepted. It seems, however, from pre- liminary inquiries as to whether a chal- lenge would be agreeable that one would be cordinlly welcomeu, and Harland & Wolff are preparing a building slip. The delegation from the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, which will sail for New York on August 24, consists of Secretary H. C. Kelly, Vice Commodore Major R. G. Sharman-Crawford and H. . Gildowny. The Associated Press learns that the of the comment and mis- real animus gtatements of tne Field in {ts last issue are due to the fact that Sir Thomas Lip- ton forestalled another challenge whick contemplated by certain yachtsmen, backed by a millionaire, provcbly Sir | George Newnes. e ORIOLES FAIL TO CHECK THE REDS NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

NEARING THE END OF LIFE FOR YEARS AN EXILE FROM HER NATIVE LAND. Career of the Talented Woman Whose Beauty and Mental Gifts Won the Heart of the Third Napoleon. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Aug. 7—Ex-Empress Eu- genle is reported seriously ill Eugenle, ex-Empress of the French and widow of Louis Napoleon, is the daughter of Dona Maria Kirkpatrick |of Closeburn, Dumfrieshire, Countess | Dowager de Montijo, whose father was | English Consul at Malaga at the per- iod of b-~ marriage with the Count de Montijo, an officer in the Spanish army. On the death of the Count de Montijo B. | his widow was left a fortune adequate | | to the maintenance of the position of herself and two daughters, one of whom married the Duke of Alba and Berwick. For Eugenie, the Countess Teba, a ihlgher destiny was reserved. In 1861, | accompanied by her mother, she nald a long visit to Paris, where, at the | varfous entertainments given at the Tuileries, she was distinguished by the di~nity and elegance of her demeanor and by her great personal beauty, of the aristocratic English rather than the Spanish style. Her mental gifts were not less attractive. Shortly after the opposition of a | higher northern power had put an end | to the idea of a union between Em- | peror Napoleon III and the Princess Carolawasa of Sweden he a~n~rised the Council of Ministers of his intended marriage with the daughter of the Countess Montijo, a measure which ex- cited some disapproval among them and even led to their temporary with- | drawal from office. During the short | time that intervened between the an- | nouncement of the approaching even | her mother took up their abode in the Palace d’Elysee. The marrlare was celebrated with much magnificence on January 29, 1853, at Notre Dame, the | Empress then being In her twenty- third year. On March 16, 1856, she be- came the mother of an heir to the house of Bonaparte. % Up to the outbreak of the war be- tween France and Germany her life was comparatively uneventful, being passed chiefly in the ordinary routine of state etiquette. When the war was declared and Emperor Napoleon took the fleld the Empress was ap- | pointed regent (July 27, 1870). Imme- | diately after the revolution in Paris, on September 4, she hastily left the | Tuilerfes and escaped from France, landing five days later at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, and shortly afterward | joining the Prtnce Imperial at Hast- ings. Camden House, at Chiselhurst, was subsequently selected as a resi- dence for the imperial exiles. In the following year the Empress went to Spain on a visit to her mother. Emperor Napoleon III died at Chiselhurst on January 9, 187, and in 1879 the Prince Imperial, who had ac- | companied the English army in the | Zulu war, was killed. His body was | brought to England and buried at Chiselhurst, and on the following year, on the anniversary of her son's death, the Empress went to Zululand to visit the fatal spot. In 1881 she removed from Camden House to the Farnborough ]eslate in Hampshire, close to the bor- ders of the County of Surrey. [DEATH OF COLONEL JAMES 0. BROADHEAD Was a-Leading Democrat of Missouri and Minister to Switzerland TUnder Cleveland. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 7.—Colonel James O. Breadhead. Minister to Switzerland under Cleveland, is dead as the resuit of a dis- ease from which he has been wasting away for some time. He leaves a widow and three children—Mrs. Willlam Hosten, Miss Mary Broadhead and C. S. Broad- head. Colonel Broadhead, who was born in Virginia, came to this State when 16 years of age. Soon after becoming of age he engaged In the practice of law. At the breaking out of the Civil War he did much to preserve Missouri to the Union, and in the summer of 1861 he was a pointed Provost Marshal of this depart- ment. In 1896 he became a member of the law firm of Broadhead, Stayback & Heus- sler. Colonel Broadhead was elected to Congress in 1882. At the beginning of President Cleveland’s second term Mr. Broadhead was appointed United States Minister to Switzerland. Mr. Broadhead was one of the leaders of the Democratic party of the country for a number of years, and at the Natlonal Democratic Convention in 1888 he received a good many votes for President, including the sixteen votes of Missouri. OFFICIALS SEARCH FOR EVIDENCE OF ARSON Suspicious Circumstances Surround- ing the Saturday Conflagration in Sausalito. SAUSALITO, Aug. 7.—The town author- ities and the Insurance agents are mak- ing a thorough investigation of the cir- cumstances surrounding the fire which destroyed much valuable property and :ame mnear destroying the whole water front yesterday morning. George Ryan, A. Lawrence's bookkeep- er, was one of the first at the fire. He it originated in some empty boxes and barrels piled against the side of the building. and the blaze was bright enough at the time to show the interior of the store unharmed. The fire might then have been extinguisned If water had been plen- tiful, a fact that shows the lamentable situation should & fire start in the more thickly populated portion of the town. About a month ago Lawrence's store was filled with straw soaked In kerosene oil and a lighted candle placed so that the straw would Ignite when the candie burred low. Bookkeeper Ryan's timely ar- rival prevented a conflagration. When this occurred Lawrence, his wife and chil- dren were at a ball, held during tne Por- tuguese Pentecost. ingularly enough, Lawrence went to San Francisco on ¥riday evening and did not return until the 3:20 p. m. boat left the metropolis yesterday. An nttemft was made to burn him out previous to the attempt of a month ago, and such ugly rumors were circulated that the Lancashire Fire insurance Company took its risk off his property. He is said to have been burned out once before while carrying a heavy insurance. His Insur- ance in_this instance is admittted by him- self to have been $5000 on a $70w stock. The circumstances of the case, in addi- tion to the death of Manuel Souza Bet- tencourte and the loss of so much prop- erty by others, have aroused the author- ities to diligent efforts toward discovering ‘whether or not arson has been commit- ted, and if so, who is to blame. | and its realization Countess Teba and | OF INTEREST 70 B UYERS.

OFFER TO REMOVE THE MINES: REFUGEES PICKED UP BY THE HUDSON. CUBAN Say Spanish Troops Have Been With- drawn From the City and Sent | to Havana and That People | Are Starving. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—A Key West special to the Herald says: No resist- | ance will be offered by the inhabitants } of Cardenas if an attack is made by the | United States navy. This assurance has been sent Lieutenant Newcomb, commanding the gunboat Hudson, on blockade duty between Matanzas and Cardenas, which arrived here to-day with the Spanish sloop Christina in tow. The residents of Cardenas, as an earnest of their desire that Americans shall take possession, have even offered to send to the commander of the Hud- son the military expert who placed the mines in the harbor whenever it is de- | sired to remove them. miral C. S. Norton, who will be retired on Wednesday next on account of age, will be retained on duty as command- ant of the Washington Navy Yard un- til the end of the war. The retired officers in command of navy yards in- clude Rear Admiral C. C. Carpenter, commandant of Portsmouth Navy Yard, and Rear Admiral W. A. Kirk- land, commandant of Mare Island Navy Yard. From vresent indications there is a probability that Captain J. W. Philip, | who will be relieved of the command of the Texas within a short time, will upon his promotion succeed Rear Ad- miral Kirkland, who will take his place on the retired list. It is believed among naval officers that Captain Philip would be satisfied with Mare Island Navy Yard, a great part of his life having been spent on the Pacific Coast. ity Body Found in a Reservoir.

SAN DIEGO Aug. 7.—Nicolas Carrillo, man from eard from | who killed Juan Garcla over a year ago, ‘was arrested in El Cajon Valley last night and brought to the County Jail in this city to-day. The killing occurred near Mo- rena Dam and was the outcome of a quarrel between tne two men over a woman. skl r o, Hunter Loses an Arm. The Hudson last Friday morning, while steaming toward Cardenas, saw a Spanish gunboat going toward Cayo Pledras. Catching sight of the Hudson, the gunboat disappeared behind a point of land. It was afterward ascertained that when the gunboat was intercepted she was making for Cayo Piedras light- house, which had been taken possession of by four insurgents, who had hoisted the Cuban flag over the light. When these refugees were taken on board the | Hudson they gave the officers much valuable information. They report | great distress at Cardenas. Provisions are scarce, and what little food is there is beyond the reach of any except the wealthy. Many inhabitants are starv- ing. 'he Spanish troops have been nearly all withdrawn from the city and sent to Havana. Three thousand of them which were left to protect Car- denas in the event of an invasion have abandoned the port and gone to the in- terior to seek food.
