Of the estate situated ON Van Ness ave-
nue., Market and Fell streets. For these
lands Mr.. de Laveaga once refused

and real estate men declare will rapidly
Increase in value.
The terms Of the will are very explicit,
and full directions are given as to the ap-
plicatlon of the funds for this great charity.
NJ. A. de Laveaga, a brother of the de-
ceased. is one of the executors of the will.
Tie building, which will be constructed
at Santa Cruz, will be a magnificent one.
All of the arrangements necessary for the
comfort of those so sadly afflicted by nature
will be provided. The rental from the lots
mentioned in the will will be amply suffi-
cient Tor the maintenance of the hospital,
and the fund from the rise in values of the
properties will be a constantly increasing
one.
Mr.. de Laveaga was one of the best
known business men in this city and filled
an honorable place in the community He
was man of very charitable disposition,
and in a quiet way did much for the needy
of this city, especially among the Spanish
speaking people of the community. His
bequests but adds to his many deeds of
charity.
Mr.. de Laveaga died in Santa Cruz Cd
the morning of August A. On the pre-
ceding Friday he had left this city with
number of friends to celebrate his BIRTH
day anniversary at Santa Cruz. The day
following he complained of a cold. On

scious, and died on Monday, August IA
The cause OF death was congestion of the

in the State of Sinaloa, Mexico. born OF
Spanish parents. He was educated IN
Germany and came to California in 1865
He made his home in this city, except
when travelling abroad or visiting his ranch
in Mexico.
His business judgment was shrewd. as
evinced in his real estate purchases In this
city and elsewhere. He had returned
from visit to Mexico about a month prior
TO his death.
Mr.. de Laveaga was 81 years of age at
the time of his death. He was bachelor
and left a brother and two sisters to

his intention to leave large portion of
his fortune TO charity, and in the selection

when Pepper came back from Wash

bitter terms. When Secretary Herbert
was out here 1t was Popper's duty, hold

which he did, to show him the ordinary
courtesies. but he was chagrined over the
failure OF his visit to Washington and de-
cllned to show the Secretary Of the Navy

a serious disadvantage by his mismanage-
ment de has arranged no headquarters

what does Mr.. Pepper propose to do
now?' continued Mr.. Clunie "If that
statement of mine is not true then l am
guilty OF libel. If anybody had preferred
such charges against me would not rest
quietly under them for a moment. but
would bring an action at once.
IF | was in Peppers place l would not
want to lead any purity movement. A
nice person he is to figure in such move
ment. He can't lead me in anY movement
which he supervises."
With reference to the reported admis-
sions on the part of Pepper at the Toast
and Tea Club and the $3.50, it is said by
Clunie's friends that thev were made in
the presence of Messrs. Fenton. Kohlman
and Gavigan.

THE FACTIONS CAUCUS.
Each Side Claims Majority in the
Committee.

The two factions of the local Democracy
caucused last nikht-POpper and his allies
at Teutonia Hall and the anti-Popper
members Of the general committee down.
town. Both sides claim enough members
to insure control at the nesting of the
general committee next Tuesday night.
The total membership of the committee is
450. Peppers allies claim 225 and concede
1874 to the other faction. At the last test
of strength, when Pepper was on the other
side, those who are now with him claimed
235 members and conceded 175. The men
who sided with Clunie claimed 221. The
latter faction cast 213 votes and the fac
ton which now supports Pepper but 155
votes. This was prior to the convention
and was for the control of the San Fran
cisco delegation.
Now the faction which formerly opposed
Topper, but with which he has recently
arranged to act, claims 225 votes and con-
cedes to those who side with Clunie 1874
votes. The Clunie men say they will cast
1876 votes at the general committee meet
ing, and that allowing for absentees they
will easily control the result. as less than
400 members will be in attendance.
At the old test of strength Pepper voted
the green ticket along with Clunie. When
asked if that was Buckley ticket which
he voted Pepper is quoted by those
now opposed TO him as saying: They
allowed me one man on the ticket. 1t
was a case of tweedledum and tweedledee.
Since the State convention my eyes have
been opened and no man with the Buckley
taint can get in"
II is reported that Joseph Dwyer will
be present at the next general committee
meeting and that he will side with Pepper.
His resignation from the general CON-
mittee when rendered was not accepted.
At the last meeting which be attended
Mr.. Dryer in a speech rendering his res
ignatIon said that his purpos was TO retire
from politics and that nothing could in
duee him to go back unless II was an effort
on the part of Buckley to re-enter the
Democratic party. Mr.. Dryers proposed
participation in The general Democratic
committee meeting. therefore, carries the
inference with ii that Buckley las a foot
hold in the party and that his purpose is to
fight him.

Interesting Details of How Con-

Max Pepper did not make his appear

night. Instead. he went to the rooms he
has engaged at Seventeenth and Mission
streets for the purpose of caucusing for
the coming battle In the general COM

and submitted to interviews in which he

to his own satisfaction.

In relation to the charges that he bad

WHAT CLUNIE SAYS.
He Charges Pepper With BoodIing
and Bribery.

MY only object in bringing the charges
as have done" said Andrew Clunie, was
TO Illustrate Mr.. Peppers purpose of split
ting the Democratic party. II permitted
to go on it meant the shutting out Of eight
or nine districts and the loss to the State
ticket of 1000 to 5000 votes.
"a man so vulnerable as Pepper should
not be permitted to attack decent people,
and he shall not if can prevent it.
IF what l have charged is not true"
continued Mr.. Clunie, then am guilty of
libel. Popper has his remedy. and 1 will
waive time and place to permit him to
bring the matter into court.
$50 far as his statement is concerned
that L acted 10 the capacity of attorney for
Buckley it amounts to this: About three
weeks ago Horace Plat wanted to 90 to
the State convention as a delegate from
the Forty-third District, and Pepper
worked against his election. The animus
for Peppers action, as l understand il
was personal one. Some time ago Pop
por sought admission to a certain club and
Plat was instrumental in having him
blackballed. 1t appears. that Buckley
wanted an accounting from Pepper, and
placed the matter in the hands OF Horace
Plat. Buckley claims that Pepper has been
dealing right by him for the past ten yea
and wants an accounting. When / heard
of this went to Buckley and said: There
is good deal of talk that you propose to
sell out the Democratic party. If you
bring this suit you will besmirch the party
and will greatly injure its chance OF sue
cess
81 argued with Buckley not to bring the
suit, but he was obdurate and said that he
had determined to begin an action.
finally asked him to allow me to try to
settle the matter out of court in order to
avoid a political scandal. l thought L
could get Pepper to settle the disputed ac-
counts. l talked to Pepper. but did not
arrange any settlement.
Pepper declared that the Democratic
party was Buckley's whenever he wanted
it. He went to Lyermore to talk with
him on politics.

the audience, and many of them were com.

light barytone quality of voice, who sang
The Holy City" very pleasngly. and Mrs

who sang For All Eternity" and "The Bedouin
Love Song" In a manner that aroused consider
able applause. There were also a number OF
solo instrumentalistS. Mrs. H. GalIagher's
piano forte solo, The List fantasia on "Rigo-
letIo," was brilliantly played, though the
Caprice" that she performed as a encore was
better adapted 10 display her delicacy OF touch.
Professor l.. Santibanez's cl2riOnet solo, an
arrangement OF some airs from Lucia di
LammermoOr," was encored; Miss Mary l..
himbalPs rendering on the harp OF The Last
Rose OF Summer" did not excite her hearers so
much as her encore, Mexican Dance" to
which almost every foot in the room beat time.

The Lombardero Quartet played several Sc
