OAKLAND WATER RATES. | May Be Fixed by Resolution Next | Monday Night. | OAKLAND, Feb. 24.—The Water Com- | mittee of the City Council met to-night | and decided to hand in a resolution or ordinance next Monday night, fixing the water rates for the next fiscal year. Mr. | Dingee has not appeared at any of the | sessions, and this evening he was repre- | by Attorney Nusbaumer, who | that Mr. Dingee's sworn state- | ment is on file and that, being out of | ihe water business, he does not see any | necessity for answering the summons of the Council.

Should the committee pre- ‘pare a resolution, and shoyid the Six__remain intact, the whole business could be transacted in a few minutes and | before any protest could be made.

ROWELL: TESTIFIES AT THE TRIAL OF J. W. BRANDES. Anocther Autopsy Physiclan Who Says That Poor Little Lillian Was Murdered. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 24. Dr. Hubert Rowell of Berkeley is quite | |GERTRUDE as much convinced - that Lillian Brandes was brutally murdered by her father as is Dr. Buteau, and he so testifled on cross- examination to-da: The entire day was occupled in pathological and hypothetical questions asked by Attorney Bennett. Among other puzzling and protracted Qquestions asked was this: “Doctor, if this girl had Tuesday evening such a blow on the head rou assume she did-at some time re- ceive; from the condition of the body that vou saw, assuming that the girl hung herselt on the following Saturday morn- ing at 6 o'clock with a soft ligature to a bedpost symptoms of hanging in that case have een slight?"” Witness was quite equal to the occasion and replied: “1 don’t see that it would alter the case at all. Death by hanging is death by hanging wherever you find it. And we would expect to find some of the symptoms of death by hanging, no mat- ter how badly the girl had been hurt pri- marily."” Dr. Rowell also explained that, strange as it might seem, cases of meningitis and shock have been known where the pa- tients have gone about several days and were suddenly taken with chills and died. “Meningitis_Is progressive,” said Dr. Rowell. ‘and more involved until the patient i{s no longer able to stand up.” In answer to a question put by Juror E. A. Randlett, Dr. Rowell testified that Lil- lian Brandes’ yh_\‘sicfl) condition was such that she could not have hanged herself. Dr. F. H. Payne, also of Berkeley, who had witnessed the autopsy, was next called, and on direct examination testified along ‘the same lines as his predecessors; but to the surprise of all the defense ex- cused witness without any cross-examin- ation. The trial will be resumed next Tuesday morning. —_———————— Berkeley News Notes.

BEEF WAS NOT EMBALMED DEFENDS THE REPORT OF THE WAR COMMISSION. Provisions Were Neither Scant Nor Spciled—Heroic Work of the Surgeons of the Ameri- can Army. OAKLAND, Feb. 2{.—General Shafter delivered a most interesting historical lecture to-night, before an enthusiastic audience at the First Unitarfan Church, on “The Campaign in Cuba.” His address was entirely free from any and all at- tempts at flowery speech making or vainglory effusion, and was in the lan- guage of a soldier, who had seen battle and felt proud because it had proved a victory for the country under whose flag he fought'as a general. g The speaker recited at length the move- ment of the American army from the time it left the United States for Cuba, touching briefly upon the battles of El Caney, San Juan and tne capture of San- tiago, untl it returned to the camp at Point Montauk. “The simplicity of the campaign,” sald General Shafter, “is what made it seem so easy. It was simply a matter of getting ashore and fighting. The speaker pald a glowing tribute to General Joe Wheeler, referring to him as an ex-Confederate genera.l. “but withal one of my most falthful and efficient gen- erals, & most loyal and excellent man.’ ‘“You have heard Something of the in- humanity of the army doctors. I tell’ you there is not a word of truth in it They were brave fellows, too. Out of 1400 men who were shot only thirteen died of wounds. Never before in the history of warfare has there been so slight a loss of life. There was but one capital opera- tion. It seemed as though, as long as a man was not shot through the head or heart, he recovered.” General Shafter also denied the criti- cism of short rations. ‘Ratlons were not so short,” continued the speaker, ‘“‘uniess some one was too lazy to go after them. Men had hard bread, meat, sugar and cof- fee, and at no time except the first night were rations short. “You have heard of the poor provisions. There are several frontiersmen present here to-night and vou know what it is to open canned meat in the sun when it is 120 in the shade. That it was unfit for food is not so.”" usion the speaker appreciated ymmissions report which viewed with satisfaction the fact that the result of the campaign was the realization of the objects contemplated, and all with so little loss. “I think we should be hapy in the suc- cess of this war; that we should pat each other on the back instead of calling each other hard names. The victory is too glo- Tlous to mar it by any little petty differ- ences that might have cropped out in the campaign. “The quest] to do with that this does not affect me fon now resolves itself, what which we captured, but as a soldler! but ould not like $5 see a foot of ground captured by the blood of our men ever given up. A SUICIDE'S COMPLAINT. Tailor Broman Accused His Wife of Hounding Him to Death. On the person of Frank Augustus Bro- man, who killed himself in Union Park yesterday morning by shooting himself in the head with a pistol, was found a letter written at his request by a friend, the agent for a Scandinavian newspaper published in Minneapolis. The letter stat- ed that in 1882 Broman's wife, by threats of having him arrested, forced him to marry her. He alleged that she was an unfaithful wife to him and that by her abuse she made life miserable for him. | He finally left her and opened a tailor shop at 7i3% Bush street and had not seen nor heard of her for some time previous | to his death. On the 8th of the present month Judge | Bahrs issued an order that Broman pay his wife $3 per week for her maintenance. Mrs. Broman called at the Coroner’'s of- fice sterday afterncon and denied all the allegations made against her by her husband. She said that she had been a good ,and true wife to him, but that he was & drunkard and had abused and neg- lected her and their children.

The dry season has, in the language of the pus, knocked them out. A few fish are to be found in the deep pools near Point Reyes and that enthusiastic angler, James Watt (“the doc.”), succeeded in landing a few nice grilse ‘last, Saturday, by ~artistic spoon casting. The ‘‘doc”” will try his luck again to-day and he is of the opin- fon that a fly neatly put to the king of fresh water game fishes, will return fa- vorable results. 5 Al Cumming received a telegram from Salmon Creek on Thursday evening that a large run of striped bass had worked their passage from the salt into the fresh water and that they were causing the water to_ boil in the deep and sl\}gz!sh ools of the creék. Cumming and a friend eft this city on Friday fully prepared to give Mr. and Mrs. Bass a warm_ recep- tion. On Tuesday next sportsmen will ofl and ut awas their guns for the season—that s, so far as the shooting of game birds is concerned. Bert Wevman, the rear admiral of the Black Jack Gun Club, has purchased a handsome gasoline launch 28 feet in length and capable of traveling 11 knots per hour. The admiral intends to use the craft dur- ing summer months for pleasure trips on the bay, and when next year’s duck shoot- -ing 1s in season, the launch will be used to conyey the members of the Black Jack Gun Club from Antioch to their hunting castle on Sherman Island. The Emeric-Roose preserve, near San Pablo, will be a thing of joy forever when the improvements contemplated are ished. It is proposed to construct several ponds on the preserve, which will be. sup- plied with fresh water from artesfan wells. These ponds will be fed a la Cor- delia Club, Suisun, and when the bay water fowls find good drinking and eat- ing near their daily loafing grounds on the bay, they will visit the San Pablo demesne in preference to taking a long journnE up country.

GREAT COURSING EVENT AT INGLESIDE PARK| PBOBABiE WINNERS ‘01‘ THE FIRST RUN DOWN. Champion Dogs From Eastern States to Run Against Bread-Win- ners of California. The directors of the Ingleside Coursing Club have concluded at last to make much needed improvements in the park where thousands of dollars have been won and lost. Good judging, faultless slipping and ex. cellent hares, are the three things which have made Ingleside Park the favorite place of amusement of the thousands of pleasure seekers who have a predilection for coursing. Weekly the crowds grow larger, and consequently space is at a premium on Sunday afternoons, when the game is In full blast. It is with the ob- Ject of giving the patrons of. coursing something better than ‘‘elbow room” that the park officlals contemplate extensive improvements. They are very well pleas- ed that there is another park In existence within easy distance of the city, as under the present conditions they could not at- tempt to accommodate the many peopls who have become educated to the grand old game. It will be -no easy matter to handle the immense gathering of sport lovers who will witness the great one-hundred dog stake match, which will be Inaugu- | rated lu—dn{ and finished on Sunday. Count von Halpin says that there is no such word as fail and that the great meeting will be recorded in the coursing history of the State as being the most | successful and interesting affair of its kind that has been attempted since in- closed coursing was _introduced. The count’s opinion cannot be gainsaid. John Charlton, secretary of the Ameri- can Coursing Board, will run for the first time his grand bitch Dolly Varden, and some anxiety will prevall among the bet- ting fraternity, as she is drawn in the bitch Lottle M. Another new one to_ap- car on this occasion will be E. M. Kel- oge's Towa Boy. Coursing men can rest assured that this aspirant for honors will | be brought to slips as fit as a fiddle. Russell and Wilson are running a pair of real good ones, namely, Lady Herschell and Lady Emma. The latter bitch, fmme- | diately after arriving here two weeks ago, hit the talent so hard that the boys are not likely to forget her name for some time.

The Hurricane Plows Up a Prehis- toric Graveyard of Human Giants and Mammoth Beasts. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, Feb. 24—“Unfortun- |ate New Guinea. She has been de- | vastated by two terrific cyclones which | have filled the land with horrors. The | inhabitants are in sore distress. Moth- | | ers have sold their children into slavery |to buy. food. Hundreds are on the | verge of starvation. We must have | help.” | So writes the Rev. Dr. Brown, gen- | eral secretary of the Foreign Mission= | ary Society, stationed at New Guinea. His story of the terrible conditions pre- valling In the cyclone-swept land is told fully in the mail advices brought yesterday by the steamship Miowera. Dr. Brown says now that details | of the destruction caused by the cy- than ever convinced New Guinea na- tives must receive assistance from the outside world or die like dogs. The furious elements leveled the native huts by thousands, and in some instances whole rows of houses, sometimes a hundred at a time, went down like lines fall by a child’s hand. During the first cyclone trees falling or flying through the air caused the death of many, while a steady avalanche of uprooted timbers | kept tumbling down the mountain sides on unprotected villages with their frail houses. Dr. Brown writes: It was simply a Niagara of twisted tree | trunks, tangled roots and huge rocks which leveled to the ground more than one promising village. By this avalanche | scores of native converts were crushed to | death, while all the banana and yam gar- dens were destroyed, thus cutting off the natives’ means of subsistence. New- born Tivers are now rushing and roaring where life-sustaining yams a short time ago_grew in abundance. “We have no time for prayers,” say my converts to me. “We can only look at our ruined huts and .cry. | ~All the churches and schoolhouses were | blown down.

The natives informed the doctor they had found skulls of great size in the pits laid bare by the cyglone. Some | had long hair and all were suggestive | of ages long ago.
