Numerous deaths have been reported, | and those interested in the cattle busi- ness have come to the conclusion that vigorous efforts must be made to stamp out the disease. To this end a meeting was held to-day and was attended by prominent stockmen. Definite action | was postponed until next Saturday, | when every part of the county will be | represented. It is thought the disease was brought | by the importation of cattle from | Southern California counties. It is com- | municated by means of a tick which | gets on the animal from the ground | and is the common carrier of the mi- | crobe -that bears the disease. The Board of Supervisors has appropriated money for a héalth officer, and owners | of cattle have been notified to bury the | carcasses of dead animals. Every effort | will be made to prevent further spread of the disease. | COLORADO FORESTS | DESTROYED BY FIRE Great Damage Has Been Done Al-? ready and the Progress of the Flames Is Not Checked.

H, DE YOUNG DENOUNCED BY JUDGE MAGUIRE Fusion Chief Speaks Plainly. EDITNR A FOE OF TRUTH STYLED A BLACKGUARD BY THE JUDGE. “Cannot Become Senator Because He Has Not the Moral Sense to Rise Above Gutter Politics.” Epecial Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25— “The attacks of the San Fran- cisco Chro.icle upon me do not give me the slightest concern— at least, so far as my campaign is concerned. They are, of course, annoying, as any black- guardism, oral or written, must always be. But I have found no trace of political injury to the ticket or myself resulting from them. People do not take kindly to that sort of politics and are much more inclined to rebuke it than to be guided by it. Of De Young’s motive in pursuing his lying, vindictive opposition toward me, personally, 1 do not say much. He is undoubtedly influencel by avarice or ambi- tion—perhaps a little of both. He is, perhaps, trying to earn a Senatorship from the Southern Pacific Ra: ~cad Company and does not know how to earn it otherwise than by blackguarding the opponents of the company. He is wholly oblivious to the fact that he caunot be United States Senator because he has not the moral sense to rise above the gutter politics which he ' has adopted in this and othe: cam- paigns, but particularly this. He may as well learn now that decency and - dignity. are the prime requisites of a Senator of the United States, and that in this cai.paign . he is conducting, as Lowell said, ‘A baltle with * fate that can never be won.'” _ ¥ These are the exact words uttered by James G. Maguire, fusion candidate for Governor, in an interview with The * ing Mr. Maguire said: “I have no objection to fair and hon- | | orable | criticism, emphatic it may be, but I despise false- hood in politics, such as De Young makes use of, as well as in the other relations of life. Take for instance the Chronicle of Wednesday last. De Young makes bold to accuse me of falsehood | when I state that I did not support the Non-Partisan local ticket in San Fran- cisco in 1888. It quotes in support of its calumny, an extract from the Ex- aminer of October 28, 1888, purporting to be a synopsis of a speech delivered | by me on a certain evening in favor of the Non-Partisan ticket. The fact is, I did not make the speech in question, did not support the Non-Partisan ticket and was not present at the meet- ing referred to. “The speech De Young writes of was, according to my recollection, delivered by A. B. Maguire, and was incorrectly reported in the Examiner as having been made by me. My recollection is the name of the speaker was correctly given in The Call and Chronicle, but De Young, for reasons best known to himself, and apparent to many, has chosen not to depend on his own col- umns from which to obtain truth or focts. “In 1888 I stumped the State for the Democratic ticket and I did not oppose the Dewocratic local ticket in San Francisco.” Judge Maguire and his party, includ- ing H. P. Andrews, nominee for Attor- ney-General, and Edward L. Hutchin- son, nominee for Lieutenant Governor, arrived to-night from S8an Bernardino. To-morrow the Judge will make three speeches, one at Pomona one at On- tario and one at Los Angeles. In speak- ing of the progress of his campaign, Judge Maguire said: “Thus far I have delivered twelve speeches and in the areregate address- ed directly 30,000 people. I have been rleased with my tour. I have found the union forces well organized and much enthusiasm has been manifested. The audiences have been large and at- tentive. I have reason to believe my o~ponent will not obtain a majority of the votes south of Tehachapi Moun- tains. “Of the rest of the State, exc2pi the coast counties south of San Francisco, through which I have passed, I do not care to speak at present, because my information is derived at long range. “In my opinion the decreased regis- tration in San Francisco is attributable to causes equally affecting all parties, with proportionate equality to their voting strength. I do not look upon it as peculiarly injurious to our side. No, the only counties that I have heard from where the single tax question is doing any injury are Marin and -Mendo- cino. Here some of the farmers and dairymen, .‘ho would be beneficially affected by the single tax, look upon my election as insuring its adoption. I find that the people in the counties through which I have passed are will- ing to rely for the present upon the constitutional provisions which must be amended before the single tax can be adopted. In the countles I have passed through thus far I do not think the single tax will have any effect on the result.” Judge Maguire is standing the ardu- ous labors of the campaign well, from a physical standpoint. He is in excellent health and his voice is not impaired as yet by hoarseness.

American Commissioners Will- Sug- gest That the Red Cross Begin the Shipment of Addi- tional Provisions. Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 18%, by James Gor- don Bennett. HAVANA, Sept. 25.—In all probabil- ity the distribution of the first lot of relief supplies sent by the American Government to Cuba since the war be- gan will take place at Matanzas to- The Evacuation Commission has cabled to Washington asking that orders be sent to the Comal at Key West to start at once for Ma- tanzas, and immediately to begin land- ing her cargo of a million dollars’ worth of rations as soon as she arrives. This is the result of the Spanish reply to the Comal communication received last night. The reply conceded practi- cally all the Americans asked, although still combating the American conten- tion that the protocol made the Evacu- ation Commission the paramount pow- er in the island and superior to all ex- isting forms of Spanish government. The essential request being granted the detail that the Comal disembark at Ha- vana was waived, especially as it was felt that Matanzas was an excellent center for the relief of distress The reply grants the free landing and distribution of the Comal’s cargo under the supervision of American officers, aided by a committee of Spanish ap- pointment, or Red Cross agents. This ‘will probably be followed by a sugges- tlon from the American Commission to the workers of the Red Cross in the United States that they promptly begin the shipment of supplies at their dis- posal. The reply of the Spanish Commission to the second American demand In re- gard to the evacuation of Cuba will probably be delivered to-morrow. It is generally belleved it offers a compro- mjse on the date proposed. It fixes an earlier day for beginning the evacua- tion than named in the first Spanish reply, but is still considerably later than that demanded by the Americans. A member of the Spanish Commission told me to-day that he had no doubt that a date can be found acceptable to both nations. The members of the American Commission, my informant sald, will not. insist so strenuously on immediate evacuation if the Spanish answer seems indicative of a desire to make all possible speed.

Mud River Redskins Offer to Re- cover His Body From the Woods If Paid One Thousand Dollars. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Sept. 25.—A Vaneduver (B. C.) special says: Brindley Mills and P. G. Grant, two members of a Mon- treal Klondike syndicate, arrived here to-day after having spent four months in trying to get through to the gold country over the Ashcroft trail. At Quesnelle they met Sir Arthur Curtis, an English baronet, and his party, and also ran across them at Mud River, where Sir Arthur mysteriously disappeared and was never seen by a white man again. Mr. Mills said they joined in the search with Indians for the body, and they are confident that the 'Indians not only knew all about the nobleman’s death, but knew also where the. body might be found. They want $1000 reward for bringing it out of the ‘woods. The unfortunate nobleman, Mills be- lieves, met with foul play. Mills and his party were lost for four days without food 100 miles from Tele- graph Creek. On one occasion they took the advice of ‘a treacherous In- dlan guide and went fifty miles ofit of their way. They describe their ex- periences as terrible. They declare em- phaticall- that the route is a fraud and that hundreds of poor fellows are ac- tually in danger of starvation on v now.. They are stalled fifty and 100 miles apart without provisions and without hope. Mills and Grant started out with fifty- eight horses and lost thirty on the road. Their outfits also were lost, and when they reached Telegraph Creek they were broken in health and without money. WAR CERTAIN UNLESS MKINLEY INTERCEDES Grave Trouble Between Costa Rica and Nicaragua Over a Narrow Strip of Land. NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—A St. Louis spe- clal to the Herald says: John de Bar- ruel, a resident of Costa Rica, was in this city to-day en route to the East. He left Port Limon two wekes ago, and is therefore thoroughly conversant with the affairs of that country and the Costa Rica-Nicaragua situation. “Unless President McKinley interferes there will be war between the two coun- tries in December,” he said to me. “The controversy arises over a strip of land extending from the Atlantic to the Pa- , immediately south of the roposed nal. President Zelaya of icaragua claims that the canal is en tirely within the boundarfes of his coun- and the Costa Ricans claim the canal is on the boundary line. “‘The Costa Rican Congress has granted Prnh%im Iglesia permission to visit Presi- dent McKinley for the fl*)urposa of asking him to adjust the difficulty, and I be- lieve he sailed for New York last Fri- day, or at 1 he was supposed to sall on thaf n t date. ““The question is one that has aroused bitter feeling between the two ut ;both are will for the United tates to act as arbitrator and end the controversy without recourse to arms, but _will certainly be war between the two countries unless Mr. McKinley intercedes.” : - ——— ' Death of a British Baronet.

UNGRATEFUL AND A TRAITOR T0 HIS PARTY Honest Republicans Scorn Otis. DISLOYAL TO THE PRESIDENT OPPOSES INDORSEMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATION. Like the Vicious Cur That Bites the Hand That Fed It, His News- paper Mouthpiece Is At- tempting Injury. Special Dispatch to The Call. HOTEL DEL CORONADO, Sept. 25.— ‘With a view to ascertaining public sen- timent with reference to the —assault 1°~ ‘e against Mecsrs. Osborne and Par- ker of the Republican executive com- mittee by the Los Angeles Times, and the attempt to coerce Mr. Gage into soliciting their retirement and its ef- fects politically on Mr. Gage's pros- | pects, correspondents of The Call have | sounded public sentiment in Southern'; California. Beyond anv doubt the feel- ing is one of utter indignation at the course pursued by the Times. Opinion is so nearly unanimous as to make one | almost belleve that it is the result of | deliberation. Brigadier General Otis owes his mili- tary advancement, says everybody, to the personal friendship of President McKinley, which withstood every spe- cies of assault, personal and political, adverse to Otis. Indeed, the President himself avowed that he made the ap- pointment wholly upon personal grounds—that is, he had been a com- | rade of General Otis in the Civil War, | and entertained a high personal regard | for him, which it was absolutely impos- sible to shake. The natural conclusion is that Otis, following the example of | President McKinley, would have ig-| nored personal considerations, would have laid aside his personal enmities, in a campaign whose success or failure would necessarily have the ffect to in- dorse or condemn the administration of President McKinley. 'Most men would have recognized such a condition and conducted-themselves accordingly. On the contrary, the organ of Otis, while. hypocritically avowing = confl- dence in Mr. Gage, and a sincere desire to contribute all its influence to his suc- | cess, is really doing its best to sow seeds of dissension in the party and contribute to its defeat. But the effort is so utterlv in vain. No one beiieves that the second-hand malevolence of Gencral Otis, filtered through t..e Times in his absence, will lose Mr. Gage a solitary vote which he would otherwise have secured. The quiet manliness of the Republican candidate for Governor, and his ad- herence to the appointments of the ex- ecutive committee, made with the}d- vice and consent of the State Cenfral Committee, gain universal commerda- tion. Indeed, it is generally considered that had Mr. Gage yielded to the tru- culent demands of Mr. Mosher, Gen- eral Otis’ vice-regent, and demanded the resignation of Messrs. Osborne and Parker, it would have cost him many a vote, or it would have absolutely dem- onztrated that he w.s a man who could be intimidated by thr-- = and scared by menaces. His reputation has al- ways been that of a man of great inde- pendence of charzcter, and who could not be handled or molded by any con- sideraticn other than that which rec- titude of principle inspired. In the course of this unhappy busi- ness he has fully justified the estimate his friends have made of him. The attack of the Times will prove a boom- erang that will return to wound the hand that hurled it. Not a few Republicans of influence and capital in Los Angeles declare that when this election is over, one of the results will be the creation of a syn- dicate whose objects will be to estab- lish a Republican paper in Los Angeles that will represent political principles, and not private and personal enmities indulged in with utter recklessness as to what their effect may be upon a campaign as essential to President Me¢Kinlev ard his administration as to the Republican party in California. pids e iRy GAGE TO SPEAK AT SAN DIEGO TO-NIGHT HOTEL DEL CORONADO, Sept. 25.—The San Diego meeting to-morrow night promises to be one of the great- est political demonstrations ever wit- nessed in Southern California. Henry T. Gage, the Republican nominee for Governor, accompanied by General Barnes, car-e here to-day in order to get a good rest to meet the demands made upon his time and strength for to-morrow. At the plaza open-air meeting to-morrow night he will speak at much greater length than usual and enter fully into the discus- sion of subjects which have been lightly touched hitherto. A reception at the Horton House to-morrow after- noon will enable him to meet many friends and acquaintances of San Diego and the surrounding country. PRICE FIVE CENTS. FEATURES OF THE CONCLAVE OF TEMPLARS Novel Souvenirs for Sir Knights. DISTINCTIVE OF PITTSBURG ELECTRICAL DISPLAY WILL BE MARVELOUS. Elaborate Hotel and Sleeping-Car Arrangements—Programme for the Parade, Ball 3 and Bangquet. PITTSBURG, Sept. 25.—There will be many unique features distinctive of Pittsburg at the triennial conclave of Knights Templar in this city, October 10 to 14. Tancred Commandery will present to every visiting knight a large earthenware loving cup for use at ban- quets, etc. In addition to being useful the cups will make pretty ornaments. On the inside of each will be burned the history of the loving cup, which is not generally known. Thousands of the cups have been made. Anothex. distinctive product of Pitts- burg is the stogie. Orders have been given for the manufacture of half a millior: stogies, and they will be put up in fancy-covered bunches of four. The packages will be left at the various commandery headquarters for distribu- tion, and no matter where the sir knights may go in Pittsburg they will find stogies to burn. Tin-plate manu- facturers are also working on large Knights Templar badges of tin plate, which will be distributed as souvenirs. Alleghany Commandery No. 35 has arranged to spend $1000 per day in dis- pensing samples of Pittsburg hospi- tality. Ascalon Commandery No. 59 has rented Elks Hall for the week and will keep open house there. On the stage in the hall a continuous musical and vaudeville entertainment will be given day and night the entire week of the conclave. Many high-class attrac- tions have been engaged for this unique theater. As Pittsburg is the home of elec-" tricity,, the electrical exhibition, it is claimed, will be the greatest ever seen in -the world. Prominent electricians from all parts of the country are in Pittsburg now working out designs and trying to secure enough dynamos to generate the fluid. Every public and private lighting plant has been called on for power and every old dynamo in the vicinity has been overhauled and made ready for use. The orders for electrical power have so greatly ex- - ceeded the possible supply that many business firms, social organizations, etc., have been forced to drop out or cut their plans. The greatest electrical exhibition will be made in Fifth avenue. On this main thoroughfgre the Masonic Tem- ple stands. In the niches along the top of the building will be placed the figures of four knights in armor and on horseback. They will be eight feet high. By an arrangement of lights in- side the fiery cross on the breastplates they will be plainly visible at night, and light will stream through the visors. By an alternating system of using the lights, the chargers on which the Knights will be mounted will be given the appearance of moving, their riders saluting, etc. On the sills of the third-story windows will be enormous American eagles worked in gold, with outstretched wings. Clutched in the talons will be festoons of Old Glory. The front of the building proper will be. a combination of relief work, worked in gold and draped with elec- trical effects. The exterior decorative piece will cover the entire front of the temple, standing out far enough to admit of a hidden arrangement of 800 electric lights behind. The general ef- fect will be in gold, while the temple and ‘national colors will be introduced. The Fifth-avenue front of one office building will be covered with 10,000 red, white and blue lamps.in the shape of an American flag. The alternating sys- tem of lighting will be used and this will give the flag a waving appearance. It will be the largest American flag ever made. One prominent electric company is laying a special cable from its works to its city office building and will have a display of 15,000 tc 20,000 lights. ‘While the hotel accommodations have not all been taken the railroad com- panies have arranged to sidetrack over 200 sleening and private cars which will be used as living quarters by visiting knights. There will be no crowding of special trains between rows of freight cars on sidings. Instead the sleepers are to be parked in admirable order where they will be easily accesible at all hours of the day and night. The Pennsylvania Railroad will park the specials in the Grant street, Try street and Water street yards, and the Bal- timore and Ohio and Pittsburg and Western Railroad will use the Burlington and Ohio yards along the river fronts. Substantial board walks will be constructed, where there are no platforms, leading from the trains to the nearest thoroughfare. The walks will be well lighted and over the cars will be illuminated :igns. Officers will be employed day and night to keep away all persons who have no business near the trains. Special systems of sewerage and sanitary arrangements will be laid. The railroads expect to handle over 500,000 people on the day of the parade. This will be on Tuesday, and on all the lines freight shipments will cease at midnight Monday. In order to facili- tate the handling of passengers no freight trains will be run on tha+ day within a radius of 100 miles of Pitts- burg. General J. P. S. Gobin, the grand marshal of the parade, promises he will have fifty generals of the recent war Special trains will bring to San Diego large numbers of people from towns in this region. It is contrary to the prin- ciples of Mr. Gage to do politics on Sunday, so he came to-day unan- nounced and sought the solace of Coronado Beach. General Barnes is in fine form and will no doubt - make a speech in San Diego that will equal his splendid ad- dresses at Ventura and San Ber- nardino. The Republicans here are alive to the importance of the cam- paign and have made elaborate prep- arations for the meeting to-morrow night. U. 8, Grant has been selected to preside, s fw on his staff in the ‘parade. General Joseph Wheeler and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt have accepted invitations. Many of the Rough Riders are Knights ‘Templar and will be in line. The parade will be striztly on mili- tary lines. It will start in Allegheny and will move by a system of sirnals fired from motor 1-cated on Seminary Hill. Becmbs when exploded at a point high en- “~h to be seen from all parts of lower Pittsburg and Alle~heny will fic t a para:hute signal to the various divisions and commanderies indicating when they will move and t line. One bomb will be fired as a pre- paratorv command,® follovved by ‘an- other bomb giving the direct commanad for & particular division to move. There ake place in .-
