SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 22—When it be- ame known to-day that L.H.Van Sick- len of the firm of Dodge, Sweeney & Co., a wealthy member of the Country Club, was arrested yesterday on charge of breaking the new Marin County game ordinance, a sensation was created.

For some reason or other, the affair is shrouded in mystery. The warrant charging Van Sicklen with shooting at a deer on the county roads was sworn to by Thomas Irving, a deputy under Game Warden Robertsod, before Jus- tice George Rodden. Not an entry was made in the Justice’s docket, and when questioned about it he flew into a fu- rious passion, warrant of arrest had been served. a friend Rodden admitted Sicklen had been fined the minimum To penalty of $20, because he was a partic- | ular friend. Justice Rodden is of late being crit- icized in all quarters for imposing the lightest fines in cases of cruelty to ani- mals for the alleged reason that he is at outs with the society. Secretary Case asserts that the Justice is serious- ly handicapping the society, and that a meeting will be held in the near fu- | ture to determine what course to pursue in regard to his hostile attitude.

NEWS WE_EENSORED Gzneral Otis Prevented the Sending of Detailed Accounts of the Fighting. G Special Dispatch to The Call, | | | | | | ANT Aug. 19, via Hongkong Aug. 22—The Filipino rebels appear to retain much more of a fighting spirit than might be expected after their recent San Fernando experiences and General Lawton’s drubbings in the south. After giving up San Fernando with a fccble struggle they intrenched themselves at Angeles, working for several days and impressing non-combatants into the work, thus saving the armed men for the fighting. They engaged Lieutenant Colonel Smith's regiment and the artil- lery warmly for four hours, making one of the most stubborn resistances of the campaign. But the Americans are i debted to the usual poor marksmanship of the Filipinos, well as their own strategy, for their small losses. In the province of Cavite, where it was supposed the rebels had been scat- | tered and der -d beyond recuper- ation, they hav -mbled an army of several thousand men, distributed among the important towns from the lake to the bay. After the San Fernando engagement the rebels attempted to deter the Amer- jcans from a further advance north- ward by menac he railroad commu- nications. al hundr | Pio del P men crossed the Rio Grande between the American outp towns and threate Baluig, Quin and other places with small Ameri while during Sunc ler bands tr tracks at Bigam and of American troop ent along the railroad San Fernando, while e forces at and Quingui sal lied out against General Pio del Pilar men and the rebels were easily driven away.

It will also be the duty of General Merritt | to give necessary instructions to the | commanding officers of forts along the | bay to salute the admiral and the | Olympia as she comes toward the port | of New York and a salute in return will | be fired by the warship. No information has been received from Admiral Sampson relative to the programme he is preparing for the re- | ception of the admiral, and Captain | Evans has not as yet consulted with | the admiral and the New York commit- | tee, so far as known here, with refer- ence to the ndvy's participation in the ceremonies. The department expects to | receive Admiral Sampson’s recommen- dations and Captain Evans’ report in ample time to issue necessary orders. Emegto et LAWTON IS SANGUINE.
