THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1899. PROBABLE DEFEAT OF STREET S RSEREOOG LB B EEI N DA T d RAILWAY ROBBERY. THE DISCONTENT IN CUBA. REPORTS from Cuba are by no means reassur- ing, and it now looks as if serious disturbances may yet occur there. The so-called “patriots,” and they deserve that title about as well as any other, have shown a decided unwillingness to surrender their arms even when advised to do so by their commander, | Gomez, and when offered by the United States $3,000,000. Dispatches of Saturday from Havana state that while our disbursing officer in that province has on HE card of Supervisor E. C. Kalben, printed in another column of The Call of this date, is cred- itable to himself and deeply gratifying to the public. If the actual intentions of that gentleman had | been sooner disclosed he would have been relieved | from apparently unmerited obloquy, which under the { circumstances was inevitable.

The opposition of the rank and file of the Cuban {army to surrendering their arms is probably due to a variety of causes of which patriotism is. only one, and perhaps not the most potent. When men have been for years living a kind of guerrilla life in a mild cli- | mate, where it is no hardship to sleep out of dobrs | and go without food on occasions, they come at last | to like the life, to feel an attachment for their rifles and their knives; they like their companionship, and naturally hesitate to surrender to a power almost un- known to them, which begins by taking from them their arms and then disbands them. The amount of | money which each will receive out of the $3,000,000 is not very large even to a Cuban, and the entice- ments of coin, moreover, are not so great to tropical people as some persons in the temperate zone im- agine. | There is another factor in the problem which merits All postmasters are authorized to recefve subscriptions.

Unquestionably the act of 1803, which pro- hibits the granti before or seventy days after a general election, is in full operation, and, therefore, the proposed surrender | ci the strects north of Market street would necessar- ily have to be consummated by August 8. Mayor Phelan and the minority of the Board of Supervisors it the last session of the board, uncon- scious of ‘the reinforcement they have now fortu- nately received, unless there is some law or opera- tive rule to which our attention has not been directed, effectually blocked the railway game by a bold and decisive movement which, as Mr. Phelan nbs('r\:erl, was dictated “by honest public policy.” In order to attend to the multifarious demands of public business the board has been in the habit of adjourning from week to week, or from one day to another, so that all the sessions held in a month were legally one meeting. On Monday last the adjournment was sine die, and was so entered on the minutes. Section 67 of the consolidation act provides: “The Supervisors shall meet within five days after each annual election and also on the first Monday of January, April, July and October of each year, and at such other times as | specially required by law, or they may, for urgent reasons, be specially convoked by the presideni of the board.” The conclusion seems tp be irresistible that, unless “specially convoked” by Mayor Phelan, of which there is no danger, the Market Street Railway | Company’s steal cannot be again obtruded until Mon- | day, July 3, 1899. "If this be the fact, then the interval | between that date and August 8 would be insufficient for the completion of the robbery, even though pro- pelled at the greatest attainable railroad speed. | There are now six members of the Board of Su- | | pervisors, with the Mayor at their head, who deserve | sincere commendation.

A stabbing affray at Harbor View, a picnic cutting scrape on the way home, the deadly use of a knife in a family row, the brutal beating of an aged lodging-house keeper, the threatened death of a man from a flying cuspidor, murderously sent on its mis- tion, and a fistic entertainment of savage earnestness on the water front, is the Sabbath record of the shad- ows of a big city. The Czar’s peace conference at The Hague has ap- pcinted a “drafting committee” with the avowed pur- pose of making an acceptable combination of the de- mands made by representatives of Russia and Great Britain. A slip of the pen would have made that cn.mmitlee what many people believe it will prove tself to be—a “grafting committees” Fears that the Cubans would not take kindly to the American system of political government are rapidly being dissipated. The soldiers of Gomez have already demonstrated that they have learned a lesson in American primary politics. They have been caught stuffing the rolls.

McGlade arrested yester- day afternoon on a bench warrant by De- tective Thomas Gibson at the Mansfield House on Post street, above Grant ave- nue. - McGlade has been in hiding ever since his indictment by the Grand Jury on May 22 on the charge of fargery, and it was Detective Gibson has been working hard to discover his whereabouts and succeeded In locating him by shadow- ing Park Jones, a former employe of the registration office, and a close friend of McGlade. Yesterday afternoon Gibson employed a messenger boy to follow Jones and the latter went into the Mansfleld. Gibson soon entered the house, but could get no satisfaction from the landlady; Mrs. Mil- ler, regarding his suspicion that McGlade was secreted in the house. The Chinese servant employed there was equally as reticent, but managed to blurt out that “one big man had not left his room for a week."", This gave Gibson a clew, and learnin from the messenger boy that Jones ha disappeared somewhere on the second floor, he began a systematic investigation. He climbed up_ on the shoulders of Of- ficer Purves and peered through the glass transoms, with which each door .is pro- vided. After he had inspected several rooms in this manner he finally came to No. 21 and there discovered McGlade in his shirtsleeves, playing cards with Moose T'dy]kar, a former jockey at the Oakland track, McGlade threw down the cards at Gib- son’s apparition, and then with a sickly “Hello; vou here again?" Seeing that the “jig was up,” McGlade went quietly with Gibson to the Central Station. Bail had been fixed on the for- gery charge at $3000. McGlade refused to say anvthing about arance, but appeared to be dis- appointed that his bonds were not ready as soon as he was booked. It is thought that he intended to remain in hiding unti] his attorney, Patrick Reddy, had returned from Idaho, where he has gonme to try some mining cases. Detective Gibson expressed himself as highly elated at McGlade's capture, as it was he who located the fugitive in Mex- ico, when he was first brought back. “McGlade's friends,” said Gibson, “were around boasting that he would never be located, and I made up my mind to catch him if it was the last act of my life.” THE EVILS OF EXAMINATIONS his disap] Editor of The Call—Dear Sir: I was glad to see in to-day's Call a protest against school examinations.
