Buencamino is at present a the Philippine Civil Commission. the Congressional committee as to the conduct of the war in the Philippines. While here he will visit his two sons, who are attending the University of Califor- nia. On arriving in the East he in- tends visiting Mrs. McKinley, and hopes | t> have a talk with President Roosevelt. Buencamino is said to be a stanch friend of the administration and is a warm ad- mirer of Generals Chaffee and Smith, whose policy he indorses as the only rem- edy for present conditions in the Philip- pines. He speaks but little English and | pines was engaged in missionary work. Upon landing Commissioner Buenca- | mino at once went over to the university at Berkeley to .visit his sons. After a short visit he returned to the city and \made his headquarters at the Cosmos Club as the guest of General Hughes. Last_evening he received dispatcies from Washington requesting his presence there at once to give testimony {in the investigation that is being held by a committce composed of Con- gressmen in reference to the charges of { unwarrantable cruelty to the Filipinos. {1t is generally supposed in army circles that Buencamino's testimony will be in favor of the army officers. e expressed himself yesterday very foreibly in saying that there was no more cruelty than was absolutely necessary on the part of the United States troops in the Philippines.

Sl JUDGE PIRKEY'S ~ DECISION FINAL Appeal of Central Irriga- | tion District Bond- holders Fails. Special Dispatch to The Call | WILLOWS. May 2.—In the Superior | Court of Glenn County some time ago, Judge Pirkey, in the suit brought by the bondholders of Central Irrigation District | to confirm the organization of the district | and the issuance of bonds, decided against | the validity of the bonds and the district. Actorney R. Percy Wright appeared for | the bondholders at the beginning of the trial, but Judge Pirkey ruled that he | could not be heard, as he had no stand- | ing in the case, and refused to permit him to take any part in the proceedings. | After the decision in this case was ren- dered, Wright nled a bill of exceptions on | behalf of the bondholders and two weeks | ago appeared before Judge Pirkey to bave his bill of exceptions ruled upon, to en- able him to perrect his appeal. Freeman | & Donohoe resisted this application. on the grounds that the bondholders had no standing in the case and were not entitled to an appeal. Judge Pirkey sustained this view. ‘Wright applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of mandate to compel Judge Pirkey to settle his bill of exceptions. This application .was bitterly resisted by | the attorney for the defense. The Su- preme Court confirmed the Glenn County | Judge's decision and refused the writ. It is sald tbat this leaves the bond- holders_without right to appeal from | Judge Pirkey's decision and that the de- | eisfon_he rendered some time ago in the confirmation suit is now final and abso- lutely binding. This may be considered as a deathblow to the bondholders in this litigation and undobtedly will resuit in settling the differences out of court. Aged Mormon Burned to Death.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SA RAFAEL, May 23.—August Avery of Mill Valley has brought suit the Swuperior Court of this county for a divorce. The Averys are prominent in society and well known in San Francisco. The case has been set for trial on June 10, before Judge Angellottl. At that time, if'an attempt be made to prove the allega- tions in the husband’s complaint, sen tional disclosures will be made. Avery avers that his wife has chided him continually by asserting that she did not care to live with a man of his tran- quil habits; that she deSired a husband who would get angry once in a while and slap her and mistreat her; that she pre- ferred one who would lead a gay life and not be too domestic In_ his habits. He also alleges that Mrs. Eva Avery Is not a fit or competent person to retain the care of their child, for the reason that her fondness for the races and for gamb- ling and her mania for theaters would affect the child’s morals. Avery asserts that on several occasions his wife proclaimed her desire to lead a gay and hilarious life and not ome after his. home-loving style. In Mrs. Avery’s answer she stoutly de- nies all of the allegations made in_the complaint and flles a cross-complaint charging her husband with desertion.
