Patton is heartily and en- thusiastically in sympathy with the movement to erect in San Francisco a monument in honor of Admiral Dewey. When asked to-night to express an opinion in deference to the plan suggested by The Call, Mr. Patton said: “The people of San Francisco owe It to themselves to do honor to the great Admiral whose splendid achievement in Ma- nila Bay meant so much to the people of the Pacific Coast. We shounld all unite in a single effort to build the monument which Jhas been suggested. Whatever 1 can do in assistance I shall do wladly.

It rev s | his rt in the negotiations with Gen- eral Brooke and speaks of his love for Cuba and his suffe in her behalf | | in the past. General Gomez says: The hour has now arriv f : ‘has now arrived for me to | ralse my voice in justification of my po- ‘Tlu)n m:.l to describe the arduous work ve done since my first visit to Gen- | eral Brooke.

General Brooke, representing ti chief magistrate of the United States, announced his inability to add to the sum aiready settled upon.

In my judgment, whether the arms were disposed of to the municipali- ties or to the armorers, it would be all the same under the intervening ] ment. The Cuban Commissioners | ever, refused to agree ith Brooke and the America and de 1 to fix dates and places where the Cuban soldiers could deliver up arms and r celve payment from the American masters after identification by their re- spective chiefs. After further praise of “General Brooke's consideration,” and a declara- tion of his own desire to correct an er- ror existing in Cuba with respect to the United States, he goes on to say: 1 did not act alone, as seems to be popularly belleved, but always consulted | with our officers.

PENSION ATTORNEYS STIR UP DISCORD Have Caused the Grand Army Reso- lutions Demanding Removal of Commissioner Evans. NEW YORK, May 18.—A Washington special to the Herald say The action of the. G. A. R. encampment in Syracuse, N. Y., in passing resolution demanding the removal of H. Clay. Evans, Commis- sioner of Pensions, following closely simi- lar action by the G. A. R. of Kansas, is causing the administration considerable concern. Officials see the hand of the pension attorney at work, and realize that he is not to be despised when he be- gins an attack upon the Pension Office through the Grand Army. The sole cause of complaint against Commissioner Evans is that he is hold- ing too rigidly to the law in acting upon applications for new and increased pen- sl}t)ms‘ and administration officials ar¢ be- ginning to realize that unless the Com- missioner can be induced to stretch the Jaw a little, so as to facilitate the settle- ment of a large number of pending cases, the pension vote may not be cast as sol- jdly for President McKinley next year as it was in 1596 Wilhelmina and Alexander.

SANTA'.CRUZ WINS FROM WATSONVILLE SANTA CRUZ, May 18.—A good game of baseball was played this afternoon in the presence of a large -crowd between the Santa Cruz and Watsonville teams. It was a postponed league game, and was won by the Santa Cruz team by a score of 6 to 5. Up to the ninth inning it was anybody’s game. Both sides put up mas- terly» ball, although Santa Cruz showed superiority in flelding and batting. Balsz wasg touched up for eleven and Whalen for five hits. Watsonville six errors. In the ninth inning Hayes of Watsonville made a home run. Kleiber, shortstop, made his first appearance in the Santa Cruz uni- form and satisfied the fans that he Hampden play was Donlin’s running catch in left In the eighth inning Whalen be- me dissatisfied with one of Umpire Ca- hil's rulings and left the diamond, but finally returned.

Judge Mayhew denied every material contention of the applicants. Their main hope was based on the contention that the suspension of habeas corpus | was a right of the fegislative branch of the government rather than the ex- ecutive, unless delegated by the former in the same manner as other laws are passed. Mayhew held this to be er- roneous. Owners or representatives from all leading Canyon Creek and Mullan | mines are here to-day and will stand solidly by the State officials. One of thém said: *“We furnished these men work at $3 50 a day when lead was $2 50 a ton, and we were barely paving expenses. Now, when we have a chance for a good profit they close us down by their unlawful acts, and we feel that such men do not deserve work.” WARDNER, Idaho, May 18.—The Bunker Hill, which employs non-union men, is now the only mine running in the Coeur d'Alene district. The work of rebuilding the mill is heing pished night and day. The new prison will be completed Saturday, and the 395 pris- oners accused of murder, arson, rioting and stopping United States mails will be incarcerated there under guard of United States troops. WALLACE, Idaho, May 18.—Every mine on Canyon Creek and at Mullan | 1s now closed, and a company of United States troops was to-day sent to each of these districts to preserve order. About 200 union miners have left to- day, most of them going to Montana. THE RILLING OF CAIN. Bennett’s Testimony Shaken by Cross-Examination. BAKERSFIELD, May 18.—Jack Ben- nett, the eye-witness in the Brown mur- der case, who told the story of the kill- ing of Cain yesterday, was given a ter- rible cross-examination to-day. He was under fire all the forenoon and part of the afternoon. It developed that the writ- ten statement favorable to Brown was extracted from him while in the hands of Brown's friends and he said: “I agreed to swear to that.”” But when Bennett got with his father, who lives at Reedley, Bennett said: “I told him the true story of the killing, just what I swore here.” Bennett _appeared to be afraid of Brown. He admitted yesterday havin; | promised Brown that he would tell a dif- Santa Cruz made three and | { against the prisoner. ferent story. ' Beyond this the witness’ testimony was unshaken.

General Schallenberger sald this afternoon: “The object of my visit to the Pacific Coast i to put myself in touch with the service in this part of the country in a way in_which it would be impossible for me to do by correspondence. I shall stop at all the places where either chief clerks or superintendents of the railway mail seryice are located and get acquainted with these men. Then in the future when a communication comes to me relative to the work in any sections of the West I will be better ‘able to judge of the merits of changes or improvements which may be asked for.” - FOR A BIOLOGICAL SURVEY. STANFORD, May 18.—Dr. 'C. Hart Mer- riam, head of the Biological Survey and Agricultural Department at Washington, who will accompany the Harriman expe- dition to the Muir glacier this summer, has engaged A. G. Maddren, curator of the museum here, to make a biological survey of the Yukon River. Mr. Maddren has but recently returned from the Caroline Islands, where he was looking over the ground for a possible collecting trip in the near future.

May .18.— Death is lurking in the dusty atmos phere of the jute mill, and at least four guards, known to be marked for | the knife of the assassin, are continu- | ally on the alert lest the floor of the | old building be stained with their life blood. Despite the angry denials of Warden | Hale and Captain Edgar that further trouble is anticipated another prisoner | deliberately violated a rule of disci-| pline to-day, and while being led to| Captain Edgar’'s office threw away an eight-inch dirk of prison make. The absolute refusal of Captain Ed- gar to throw the ringleaders in the plot of murder into the dungeon has caused the guards under the ban of the human fiends to seek the aid of Captain Bir- lem in taking precautions for their saf- ety, and yet when Captain Birlem in- | formed the Warden of the impending | danger he was dismissed without even | a word of thanks. | Driven to a last extremity, the guards | have been forced to ask the interference of the Marin County authorities. Dja~ trict Attorney MclIsaac arrived from San Rafael this morning, and made an investigation by request. He found the existing conditions so alarming that he states his intention in case of the death of Guard McDonald to arrest “Frisco Slim,” O’Neill, Wilson and Phelan, and prosecute them as accomplices before the fact. Not only is this state of alarm not overdrawn, but despite his evasions and denials, Warden Hale was forced this evening to admit every fact pub- lished in to-day's Call, although he in- | formed the evening papers that there | was not a grain of truth in the story. | Captains Birlem and Edgar are per-| t (L sonal enemies and never speak except on official business, and it is alleged by a prominent prison official that the | reason why Captain Edgar permits the | & exposed to such | guards’ lives to be deadly dangers is that he believes Cap- | tain Birlem to be furnishing the papers | with the facts concerning his actions. Warden Hale has all along been on | Captain Edgar's side and virtually ad-l mitted where his sympathies lie by bringing the subject of this enmity up in an interview this evening. Dr. Lawlor refuses to say whether or | not his life is in danger, but as for an | alleged interview in an evening paper | wishes it understood that he merely | declared he was not personally afraid, | but disliked newspaper publicity be- cause the articles frightened his wife. At 8:45 o'clock to-night the physi- | clan pronounced Guard McDonald much | better and thought the chances of re- | covery were about one in two. 1 DARING EXPEDITION _ } OF A BRAVE VOLUNTEER TACOMA, Wash., May 18.—News was | received here to-day from Manila of a| dangerous _expedition undertaken last | month by George Harlan of Company K. First Washington Volunteers. The Waits- | burg volunteer undertook to carry a mes- | sage to General Lawton through the country infested with insurgents. He | paddled thirty miles up the river in | birch canoe, at times pursued by rebels ?ndlnlarmwlilt %scaped capture. His dar- | ng trip resulted success! v, | Bighly commended. e ‘reedom, published at Mani 2 this account: As there had n;‘t“%;éeng‘:::;‘ communication since Lawton's expedition | reached Santa Cruz it was decided to send | a scout with messages to General Law- | ton and find if they were all right. It was | finally decided to send Harlan in a canoe, | as he was familiar with a birch bark long before he came to the Philippines. But when one thinks of the lonely trip through | the enemy’s lines, a distance of thirty miles, on strange waters, with nothing | ‘but a fragile canoe of eighteen inchls width and twelve feet long under him, it brings out the dangers of the trip. Harlan embarked at 6:30 p. m. Sunday and started up the river to the lake. it was not so dark but that the sharp-eyed natives soon discovered him and as he got out of the river he noticed several canoes after him. Then there was an excitin chase, in Which the natives were graduar. | ly gaining on the bold scout. When he | saw there was no escape in a_straight run he dodged into a lagoon and crossed it, but was persistently followed. One last desperate chance was all that was left and he took it. Being now in line between the pursuing Party and a large fish net he was invis- ble to them on account of the darkness. So he paddled for the net as fast as he could. On reaching it he broke through noiselessly and lay down in his canoe under the friendly shadow. The natives, never thinking of such a bold trick, sep- arated, three going on each side of him, Harlan lying safely concealed. After resting he shoved out again and made his way along the shadow of the land until he got to Santa Cruz. Twice more he was pursued by armed natives, but each time succeeded in giving them the slip. He reported to General Lawton xtmxd was highly praised’ for his daring rip. Lo To Fight the Car Combine.

In the address just approved by the Pope Bishop Spaulding said: The rise and fall of nations, as of in- dividuals, are determined by moral forces. ‘We have never looked upon ourselves as predestined to subdue the earth, to com- pel other nations with sword and shell to submit to our rule. We have always believed in human rights, in’ freedom and opportunity, in education and religion, and we have in- vited all men to come and enjoy the bless- ings in'this half of the world which God has given us; but we have never dreamed that they were articles to be exported and thrust down unwilling throats at the point of the bayonet. We have sympathized with all op- pressed people, with Ireland, Greece, Ar- menia, Cuba: and now the American sol- dier, who ha never shouldered a gun except in a righteous cause, is sent 10,000 miles across the sea_ to shoot men whose real crime that they wish to be free. If the inhabitants of the Philippinés came gladly- to- throw themselves into our arms we should refuse to do more than counsel, guide and protect them until they form themselves into a stable and independent government. kS A war of conquest is in contradiction with our fundamental principles of gov- srnment; it is opposed to all our traditions. The Bishop protested against imper- ialism, and declared that the American people were victims of comfmercialism. He added: If it is our destiny to become an em- pire it is not our destiny to endure as a republic. When the American people re- solve not to hol@ what they never intended to take possession of they will have little difficulty in solving the Philippine prob- lem. Let them not hearken to the siren voice of English flattery.
