Warehouses and Ships Burned

PORT COSTA, CAL, Aug. pa fire
occurred at Monear's warehouse this
morning and spread to the shipping, in
Guiding loss of probably over one hun
dred thousand dollars. The American
wooden ship Armenia and the British
wooden ship Honowaur were burned to the
water's edge. They were valued about
forty thousand dollars each. The Arme
MIA had 200 tons, and the HonOWaur 300

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-The town
of Port Costa, on the Martinez straits,
which is the great grain center of Cali
fornia, was the scene of destructive
fire, involving a total loss of about six
hundred thousand dollars. 1t originated in

1900 feet long, owned by q. w. McMar

waters edge. The rigging of the British
ship Kenilworth caught fire, but before
any serious damage occurred TO the hull
she was towed into the stream and her
hold flooded She had cargo of 300
tons of wheat, which will probably prove
nearly a total loss. The onlv casualty
reported is the death of Chinese cook
on the ship Honowaur, who was
drowned by jumping from the ship.
In addition to the warehouse and
wharves, forty freight cars of the South
ern Pacific company loaded with grain :,

suspicious the operator made an excuse
TO leave the Office for few moments and
notified City Marshal Brady and Deputy

in his office armed, and their actions
suspicious. The officers came back with
him and put the two men under arrest.

Another Chapter in the Jefferson Barracks
ExpOse-The Truth of it Denied.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 26.-The Post
Dispatch prints another chapter of its
army expose, secured through the me-
dunn of a reporter who enlisted to OBJ
tain the inner workings of army life. 1t
shows terrible state of affairs at Jeffer-
son barracks, alleging that recruits are
treated like dogs, that men are strung
up by the wrists until they swOOm from
weakness, that brutal sergeants deem no
brutality too severe; relates how an in
sane man was heartlessly tortured, while
common soldiers are imprisoned at the
whim of their superiOrs. 1t is also
charged in the expose that in the guard
house, where prisoners are packed into
an Enclosure 2Ox40, the sanitary condi-
ton is terrible-there are no provisions
for the ordinary call of nature, and the
place becomes a breeder of pestilence;
the prisoners are keptIfrom sleep by YER
min, and their SURROUNDINGS are all re-
voting in the extreme. Other exposes
are promised for tomorrow.

citizen. When the rebellion was precipi-
tated upon the country he took part with
the union and helped to organize the First
Texas cavalry, was appointed its colonel
and held that position in the United States
army until the close of the war. After
the war he was appointed assessor
of internal revenue with head
quarters at Austin. General Grant subse-
quently appointed him collector of
customs at Galveston, from which posi-
ton he was transferred to Brownsville,
where he held the Office of collector of Gus
toms for twelve years. During the mill
tary occupancy of Texas he was candi-
date for congress in the western district
and is believed by his friends to have been
elected, but failed to obtain the seat. In
1884 he was the candidate of the republi-
can party for neutrality-suspicious., but of
course without any expectation of cleo
ton. 1t was in the line of his character.
He regarded no sacrafice as too burden
some where principle was at stake.
Since 1884 he has taken no active part
in public affairs, feeling that he had earned
for himself a rest from such duties.
Colonel Haynes was quiet, unobtru-
sive, gentlemanly man, yet no body
doubted his aggressive powers or his
readiness to defend himself and his prin-
oiples. The world is the better for such
men, and the poorer when they leave it.

HON. JOHN CARDWELL.
He Has a Tussel With German
Authority In Egypt.

Mr.. Cardwell, citizen of Austin, the
diplomatic agent and consul-general of the
United States in Egypt, has lately had the
thanks of the Swiss government conveyed
to him through the Swiss minister to the
secretary of state at Washington for his
official conduct in relation to certain Swiss
citizens charged through the medium of
German consular authority in Egypt with
criminal conduct. These citizens had
placed themselves under the protection of
the United States agency and consulate
general, and when accused Mr.. Oardwell
refused to deal arbitrarily with them, as
he was requested to do, holding and Off
cially stating to the German authorities
that United States consular court,
even under the extra territori-
atty enjoyed in Egypt, had not
the legal right to arrest and
try protected aliens. However, not to de-
feat Judicial inquiry, Mr.. Oardwell turned
the Swiss subjects over to an Egyptian
tribunal, and the causes against them
were pursued therein, developing the fact
that they were, to a marked degree, i'm
properly accused.
The Swiss minister's note to the secretary
of state says: "The federal council feels
that it has reason to return its very sim
cere thanks to Mr.. Cardwell for
the readiness manifested by
him to take the Swiss citizens
under his protection. His action in their
case, especially in refusing to order their
| incarceration on mere accusation based
upon points that were not established, ap-
pears to the federal council to be abso-
lutely correct and in accordance with
sound jurisprudence" The federal coun-
oil further declares its regret that the
Swiss subjects were even temporarily re-
moved by the agent and consul general
from his jurisdiction, and formally dele
gates to the consular court of the United
States of America, in Egypt, Mr.. Gard
we'll acting as judge, the right that would
belong to Swiss courts to try causes" The
spirit displayed by the Swiss govern
ment towards Mr.. Cardwell, is highly COM
plimentary to him as civil and judicial
officer, and gives other proof of the stand.
ing our townsman has attained in the i'm
portsnt duties and responsibilities of his
post in Egypt-one with extraordinary,
even supreme, civil and judicial power
over citizens of his own country and its
proteges-and that in the exercise of ex-
traordinary power he has 80 demeaned
himself as to secure the marked favor of
the government to which he is accredited,
the confidence of his own government,
and, now, the official thanks of the Swiss
government and the delegation to him of
judicial power, in even criminal causes,
over its citizens.

In Memoriam.

CO.. ]. L. Haynes was buried from St.
Davids church Friday morning March
8, 1888, at 10 O'Clock, the rec
tor, Rev. L. B. Lee, and Rev. B. A.
Rogers, an intimate friend of Colonel
Haynes, and rector of st. David's during
his residence here, officiating. The con-
gregation was of a character such as few
events can now bring together in this
city. To one long familiar with Austin,
looking down from the chancel, it seemed
as though some Sunday morning OF
twenty years ago had come back, and the
pews had again opened to their old wor-
shipers-and so they had. 1t was a con-
gregation of the long ago-gathered
again together through memories and
sympathies and affections long held and
cherished, for they were the old and at
tached friends of Colonel Haynes and his
family, who were there gathered to do
honor to his memory. And the Austin of
to-day knows but little of the ties that
bound men heart to heart in the old days
when Colonel Haynes was one of the best
and most honored residents.
There are few men of more lovable or
more manly qualities than he. Honest,
fearless, generous, brave and trustworthy,
ne won us lr1euub lEOIu dll Clds5ob anu
parties, and many who disagreed with
him in his opinions admired the honesty
and fearlessness with which he en-
braced and defended them. Nc man
more than Colonel Haynes ever
had the courage of his convictions.
By every instinct of his nature he was a
patriot, and no other claim was so sacred
to him as the claim of fealty to the union,
and so he gave it his heart and his sword
without a thought as to what enc
mics and misfortunes it might
bring him. And, the news that
his body had reached Austin and was to
be turied to-day brought around his bier
a multitude of the old friends who stood
shoulder to shoulder with him in "the days
that tried mems souls"
Colonel Haynes was born in Bedford
county, Va, on the 3rd day of July, 1921,
and came to Texas while yet young man
and soon after was married at Rio Grande
City to Miss Angelica l. Wells, who,
together with five children, survive him,
Mrs. Haynes being now resident of this
CITY. The career of Col. Haynes has been
varied, but honorable and useful. His
whole active life has been as Texas

THE ALAMO MONUMENT.
The People of San Antonio About
to Commence Active Efforts.

1t has been a cherished idea with old
Texans to see erected, at the Alamo, 10
San Antonio, some suitable monument to
perpetuate the memory of the gallant
band of immortal heroes who fell within
its walls while defending the fort against
the assault of Santa Annals soldiers.
The people of the historic city have
commenced active efforts to carry out the
long deferred determination to erect a
monument, and to this end have organ
lied and had chartered the Alamo Monu-
ment association, of which Mrs. Mary
Maverick, of San Antonio, is the presi-
dent, with a full staff of assistants.
Recognizing the eminent services and
success which attended the efforts of Mrs.
Val @. Giles in behalf of the Confederate
home, General Ham p. Q, one Of the
vice-presidents of the Alamo Monument
association, has written to that lady, in
vokIng her assistance in the good work,
and The STATESMAN INDUCES the hope
that she will conclude to enlist in the
cause, knowing full well that If she does
so no failure will attend her efforts.

A CARD
From Mr.. G. S. Stondenmler, a
Prominent Citizen Of Llano.

From Mr.. G. S. Stondenmler, a
Prominent Citizen Of Llano.
LLANo, Tex, March 10.
To the Editor of the Statesman.
The following editorial clip from your
issue of the 18th inst:
"There appears to be a shade of mystery
about the killing of John Harris, alleged
highwayman, near Llano. The story, as
narrated in our special dispatches, is that
Harris attempted stage robbery, and was
fatally shot therefor. But there is an
other feature in the matter. 1t is this;
By the death of Harris which occurred
yesterday, the state loses her most i'm
portant witness in the Williamson assas-
sination case. He is out of the way now.
1t is asserted Harris, in his dying state
ment, said he saw the murderers and
knew the assassins."
The entire spirit of the foregoing di-
rectly brands me as party to the COW
ardly murder of Mr.. Williamson, and al
though we'll know that it was not printed
from feeling of malice, but that you
have been grievously misinformed, can
not refrain from, giving it an emphatic
and unequivocal denial. The facts are
simply these:
was halted by an unknown man, who,
with cooked Winchester, commanded me
to hold up, eVidentally mistaking my hack
for the stage, which was only few miles
in my rear. refused to accede to his de-
mands, and instead sprang upon him
wrested the rifle from its murderous grip
and shot him from his pony. These are
the facts and are accepted by every indi-
viGual in the county, except those whose
souls are blaoker than the poor unfortu-
nate, who failed in his murky deed Of des-
peration.
While the chilling intimation that was
con cerned with those widowed demons of
darkness In snatching evidence from the
state whereby cowardly crime should re-
oeive it's sheltering protection is crushing
beyond, endurance, yet, If the. circulation
of your paper was confined to my own
county would not feel myself called upon
to refEte such an unjust calumny, because
my life as a private citizen and an officer
of this county would be sufficient refuta'
ton; but as your paper is published al
the capital of our great state and its intel.
/ ligence being thrown broadcast over oul
land, feel that would be untrue to my
manhood if 1 did not unqualifedly deny
any such intention as is contained in
your editorial, and demand of you that
you make reparation through the same
channel that you have inflicted the injury
Yours respectfully,
O. s. STONDENMIER.
