VALENCIA, Spain, March Passen- gers who have arrived here on board the Spanish steamer Montevideo from Ha- vana on March 12, which reached Cadiz yesterday, assert that at the moment of their departure from Havana a number of American soldiers killed a negro child who stole a loaf of bread, and that the popu- lace thereupon attacked the soldiers, who, the passengers added, had to be rein- forced.

ARM I Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 28.—A Wagh- | ington dispatch to the Journal says: Because' of the situation in the Philip- pine Islands the army probably will be | increased to the full limit allowed by | the army reorganjzation bill. A call | for 35,000 volunteers seems certain to be issued by the President. With a pro- visional army of 65,000 and a volunteer | army of 35000 Uncle Sam will have a | force of 100,000 fighting men. Soon after the President reached the White House, Secretary Hay, Attorney General Griggs, Secretary Hitcheock, Secretary Wilson and Secretary Gage arrived. Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn met the President at the railroad station and accompanied him to the White House, on the way giving him the news from Manila. It was the opinion of Acting Secre- tary Meiklejohn, in which other mem- bers of the Cabinet agreed, that the military forces in the Philippines must be strengthened at once. In this view the President concurred. . At least 50,000 soldiers will be neces- sary in the Philippines to insure the complete assertion of American author- ity. An -additional 20,000 men will be sent to the islands as rapidly as pos- ble; other regiments are to follow the six regiments now under orders as soon as transports can be secured. President McKinley and the Cabinet members met this evening and agreed it would be necessary to issue a call for the 35,000 volunteers provided for in the reorganization bill.

The Lynched Man a Farmer Who At- tempted to Shoot His Sweet- heart, but Killed Her Aunt. Specal Dispatch to The Call. TOPEKA, Kans., March 28.—A spe- cial to the State Journal from Holton, Kans., says: Henry Sanderson, the young farmer who attempted to murder his sweetheart, Myrtle Fleischer, near Mayetta, on Sunday afternoon, but in- stead wounded M-= John Fleischer, her aunt, who was at her side, so that she died at 2 o clock this morning, was lynched this morning by a mob from Mayetta. Although nominally in Sheriff George N. Hass’ hands, Sanderson was under the guard of one man in a back room of Nate Hauer’'s restaurant. This was for two reasons: During Sanderson’s attempt to escape, immediately after the shooting of * Mrs. Fleischer, started to extract some shells from his Winchester and one accidentally ex- ploded, shattering his right arm. Again, there had been a jail delivery at Hol- ton the previous night and the prison was not considered safe. At 2 o'clock this morning Nate Hauer, | keeper of the restaurant, alone on night duty, was surprised by two men armed with revolvers, who demanded Sander- son. in the back door of the restaurant. The single guard was paralyzed with fear and made no resistance. Sanderson was lying in bed asleep, but was awakened by the noise. Without a protest Sanderson arose and partially dressed. The mob, with Sanderson, marched to Banner Creek, tied a rop around his neck and fastened the other end to a beam of the bridge. They then gave him a kick off the bridge, and after a few convulsive jerks San- derson was dead. His neck was dis- jointed by the fall of twelve feet and death must have come almost instantly. The mweb. then quietly dispersed. The body was cut down by Sheriff Hass at 5 o'clock this morning and taken to a local undertaking establish- | ment, where it lies awaiting disposition by relatives. None of the mob are known by the officiak SACKS OF CHAFF SOLD TO GULLIBLE FARMERS Bunko Men Pretend to Deal in Wheat and Find Numerous Pur- chasers.

She Taught the First English School in Santa Clara. VENTURA, March 28—Mrs. Olive M. Isbel, aged 75, relict of the late Dr. Chaun- cey Isbel, died at Santa Paula Sunday. She was prominent in the early history of California. Dr. Isbel was a physician in Ohio, and, accompanied by his wife, came overland in 1846 with Capt. W. Aram, the party settling in the San Joaquin Valley in 1847. He was connected with various mining operations and was a_ partner of John SMurphy, ex-Sheriff of Santa Clar County, for Whom Murphy mining camp was named. Mrs. Isbel taught the first English school in Santa Clara—possibly the first In California—in the spring of 1847 while the immigrating families were gathered there awaiting the close of the She had been a resident of this county the past thirty- years.

Mayor Reed in a neat speech in- troduced General Shafter. The latter on stepping forward was enthuslastically cheered for several minutes. When quiet was restored he made a fifteen-minute talk. The Santiago campaign was his theme, and his brief narrative was fol- lowed with close attention. At the con- clusion of General Shafter’s there were motre cheers, and hundreds of people pressed forward to shake the gen- eral’s hand. pEas e e San Quentin Guard Robbed. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, March 28— A thief entered the upper guard post on the hill near the reservoir last night and carried off considerable property belong- ing to Guard George Warnock of Mill Val- ley. Among the more valuable articles stolen were an overcoat, a suit of cloth- ing and a costly palr of Inlald opera glass- es, some jeweiry and silverware. There is no clew to the thief, but the familiarity with the premises and the habits of the guards showed that he must either live at 'ta“ Quentin or have been a frequent vis- . 20 — - Cardinal Gibbons’ Letter to Leo.

The Times this morning prints a hun- dred word dispatch, the first press mes- sage by the Marconi system of wire- less telegraph describing the expe: ments between the South Foreland and Boulogne. The experiments were con- ducted with the Morse code, which was read as distinctly as if the termini had been connected with wires. The South Foreland is the most ea erly land in England, consistinz of a chalky clift about 200 feet in heizht. projecting into the North Sea and hav- ing two lighthouses, with an elev tion of 572 feet.

An experience of fourteen montis has shown that no kind.of weather would | stop the working of his apparatus.

His experiments have already proven that when such a vertical wire or con- ductor is employed no hindrance to sig- naling is caused by hills or other obsta- cles or by the curvature of the earth. One of his most interesting and valu- able experiments was the installation fitted up last autumn between Osborne House, Isle of Wight, and the royal yacht, on which the Prince of Wales was recuperating after his accident. This gave an opportunity to study the effect of intervening hills, and as the yacht moved about to various positions doubts were set at rest as to the pos- sibiilty of telegraphing across leng stretches of land. Communication be tween lightships and shore is a matter of great importance and the wireless system between South Foreland light- house and East Goodwin lightship worked through the fierce storms of the latter end of February without inter- ruption, the messages being flashed nually from ship to shore and vice Signor Marconi is much the most suc- cessful experimenter among the many who have worked along the ‘smrn‘e lines, Xt He is now in his twenty- h vear.

Braslan, | the representative of the Union Trust | Company of San Franeisco, who claims | to be a regularly appointed director of | the institution. He was elected to fill | a vacaney on the board just after the | failure. He refused to resign when the | rest of the board retired, but Judge Lorigan . appointed a full board of | seven. Braslan applied to the Supreme | Court for relief, but the case was be- | fore the court irregularly and was dis missed. Now he proposes to go into court again on the came question. A meeting of the board of directors was held to-day. Braslan was present, and was recognized as a director by President. Rea and his name entered in the minutes of the meeting as such. He joined in all the discussions. This complicates matters and the court will have to decide which of the eight directors illegally hold office. The directors adopted a resolution that they were ready to accept the bank's business for settlement. It is expected the commissioners will be here to-nior- row to turn over the affairs of the bank to the directors. Another meeting will be held Thursday morning. Braslan is receiving considerable en- couragement in his efforts from Direc- tors Callisch, Eaton and Jones. After the meeting these four held a lengthy conference. Should Braslan succeed in seating himself in the directorate they propose to form a combine and oust the manager and attorneys President Rea and his clique employed. Jones’ son-in- law, 8. G. Tompkins, is slated for the attorneyship. Directors Callisch, Jones and Eaton are threatening to resign should the Rea faction remain in control of the bank, as they do not care to shoulder the responsibility of a failure such an administration might bring about. Braslan says he.will bring suit in the Superior Court to oust Directors Rea, Dunlop and Levy, as they are not stockholders, but merely hold stock in trust. Attorney Leo Archer is going to appeal to the Supreme Court to compel Judge Lorigan to hear the petition of Filipello and others to have the same trio of directors removed because of their indebtedness to the bank. The depositors are unable to see the outcome with all these -lawsuits and delays on hand. Many are poor and in immediate need of their money. A pitiful case has just come to light.
