The | rgent leader has established his headquarters at San Fernando, to the northwest of Malolos, and I suppose General Otis contemplates a movement | against that city. General Lawton only had 1500 men under his command, and it was of course impossible for him to | divide his forces by stationing detach- | ments in every village captured. His | command will be useful, however, in | assisting in the advance on Malolos or in reinforcing the line about the city | of Manila.

Since the issuance of the proclamation the members of the ion have talked with many s who have expressed them- selves as highly gratified at the liberal treatment promised them, and Presi- dent Schurman has reported to the State Department that the effect of the | instrument has been splendid.

Soon after Cuff had been rejected Miller was suddenly taken ill, and it was discovered that he was the victim of arsenical poisoning. Circumstantial evi- dence pointed to Cuff as the perpetrator of the crime and he was arrested. The trial that. followed lasted thirty days. The community was greatly excited over the outrage, and public sentiment had much to do with causing a conviction. Cuff was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment.

The conclave will open on Thursday morning and will continue until Saturday night. the time will be devoted to the secret and work of the order, but there will be | several public features which everybody will be invited to enjoy. The most notable of these probably will be the parade of the commanderies on Thurs- day afternoon. For the first time in the history of the Grand Commandery of California there will be in attendance on the conclave a grand master of the Grand Encamp- ment of the United States. This high office will be represented in the person of Reuben H. Lloyd of San Francisco. There will also be present Grand Com- mander Robert M. Powers of San Diego, who will be escorted hither by | the Los Angeles Drill Corps, a crack organization. The weather at this sea- son of the year is pleasant and the streets should prove a feature alike agreeable to its hundreds of partici- pants and the thousands of spectators. The banquet of the conclave will take place at Turner Hall on Thursday even- ing, and it is hardly necessary to say that there will be a brilliant gathering and a regal feast. E. C. Atkinson of Sacramento Commandery has been chosen toastmaster. On Saturday evening, April 22, will occur the exhibition drill, to be partici- pated in by the Ladies’ Drill Corps, California Commandery Drill Corps and a drill corps each from San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles. Thousands of tickets have been procured for this exhibition drill, and the massive Ex- position building, where the event will take place, will no doubt present as gay a spectacle as on one of the closing | nights of the State Fair. Eminent Commander E. W. Hale of Sacramento Commandery has been warmly praised for the tHoroughness with which he has superintended the work of preparation for the conclave. In this he has been heartily seconded by the members of his commandery, who are bound that the visitors shall return to their homes with agreeable recollections of the capital city’s famed hospitality. To this end nothing has been overlooked, and frequent meetings of the local Knights attest the inter- est taken in the important event. There are in the Department of Cali- fornia fifteen commanderies of the Knights Templar. From ten of these will come 200 delegates. and it is ex- pected that at least 200 more will come from the other five commanderies in this department and from the com- manderies in the southern part of the State. Amcng these will be the Los Angeles Drill Corps. Commander Hale has received from [ C. A.

GRATIFYING REPORTS MADE LARGE NUMBER OF APPLICANTS FOR MEMBERSHIP. * Katherine A. Tingley Tells the Con- gress of the Humanitarian Work Done at Santiago de Cuba. BY MRS. H. H. SOMERS. Cail. Svecial Dispatch to The SAN DIEGO, April 16.—The Saturday session of the Universal Brotherhood ‘ongress being held on Point Loma was by Chairman Harris. After a rendition of classical music the chairman called upon F. M. Pierce, secretary general of the organization, He made an in- formal report, in which he brought to the attention of the representatives sent a rough outline of the matters of importance coming within the circle of his office during the past year. The facts enumerated by him in his speech were eloquent with nope and promise for the speedy success and rapid de- velopment of the principles which the congr is engaged in promulgating. They showed that the organization had made tremendous progress within the vear; that the number of lodges was greatly in excess of the number a year ago, and that his office was receiving a constant stream of applications for membership. Mr. Pierce’s address was received with enthusiasm, and was greeted by round after round of ap- plause. The chairman next called upon E. A. Neresheimer, treasurer general of the brotherhood, for his annual report. In his capacity as treasurer general Mr. Neresheimer made four reports, cover- ing, respectively, the Universal Brotherhood, the Interna- tional Brotherhood League, the Theo- sophical Society in America and the emergency fund. These reports showed that the treasury had a balance on hand and the receipts and disburse- ments had reached a much higher fig- ure than in any previous year. The next report was by H. T. Pat- terson, superintendent of the Interna- tional Brotherhood League, which fur- nished a glowing description of the in- teresting work of the league during the past year. Chairman Harris introduced Mrs, Elizabeth C. Mayer, superintendent of the children’s work thrcugh the world. Mrs. Mayer gave a charming and inspiring account of the work of her department among the children in t!us country, Europe and Australasia. She gave an elaborate account of work among the newsboys and bootblacks of Toledo, 0., the children of the lotus homes in New York and Buffalo and the “Do-Good” Mission of the East Side of New York. The next order of business was a re- port by F. M. Pierce, representative of the School for the Revival of the Lost Mvsteries of Antiquity. on the present status of the school. Mr. Pierce made a word picture of the scene stretching out before his vision from the eminence on Point Loma, on which he was stand- ing. Tha picture w~- painted in living color, and his application of it to the purpose of the school was extremely graphic. Mr. Plerce declared that the temple to be erected on the point would be an accomplished fact, when the light and influence radiating and flowing from its open bportals would illimine the nizht of ignorance and shed a bless- ing and a benediction on everything | within its reach. The event of the session of yester- day’s congress was an address by Kather* A. Tingley, in which she gave the audience a clear, definite and | profound interpretation of the Greek play “Eumenides,” which is to be pre- sented to the members of the congress and to the public generally on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. The leader then gave an extensive and detailed account of the work which she and her fellow crusaders had re- | cently done in Santiago de Cuba. This account was so vivid that the harrow- ing scenes and experiences through which the crusaders had .recently passed were made almost actual before the eyes of her hearers. She said the destitution and suffering were pitiful, and many of her audience shed tears of sympathy. Immediately upon her arrival there she commenced the hu- manitarian work of relieving the dis- tress and suffering, which labor of love continued for a period of five weeks. Mrs. Tingley declared that the most distorted reports and erroneous concep- tions in regard to the Cubans were prevalent in the United States. She says that they have some noble and substantial qualities. Another interesting fact in connec- tion with her trip to Cuba was the planting of two liverty trees, one repre- senting Cuba and one the United States. She referred to the grant of ‘thirteen acres of land by the Mavyor of Santiago to her for a site for an or- phanage. Mrs. Tingley announced that she iatended to erect the necessary buildings as soon as she could com- mand the fime to attend to the matter. Lisn i e Funeral of Lieutenant French.
