to that paper as follows:
Since his removal here, Captain Gen
eral Martinez de Campos has received
Populations from all political parties.
His personal popularity makes every
body glad to welcome him. Address
ing the reformists he said the revolu-
ton would probably develop further
before the final end.
Addressing the autonOmiStS, he said
it was his intention to begin an active
campaign in September against the
insurgents in the province of Santa
Clara, afterwards to attack the rebels
in Puerto Principe and lastly those in
Santiago de Cuba. He promised that
the next municipal election should be
absolutely free and that he would per-
sonally rectify any case of coercion
reported to him.
In the course of a private converse
ton, Marshal Campos expressed the
opinion that dissension among the
leaders would weaken the insurgent
forces, and that the rebellion would be
crushed before spring, but there is a
persistent rumor in circles usually we'll
informed that he had cabled to Mad
rid that only two courses are open to
Spain, namely: Either to send 10000
troops to Cuba or to grant the island
complete autonomy

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-The Kalis-
pell Indians, over whose lands dispute
has arisen with white settlers, are regard
ed by Indian bureau officials as quiet and
reaceabe, and no serious trouble with
them is anticipated here. Tie dispute
over these lands is an old one and is due
to the absence OF surveys. The Indians

them some time ago providing for their
removal to the tlathead reservation fur.
ther to the north. The agreement has
not been ratified by congress. but in the
event of a failure of ratification the In
dians are to be settled on their present
reservation. Captain John ". Bubp.
their agent, notified the Indian bureau
last May that white settlers were Ell.
croaching on their lands, and was IN
structed to 90 where the encroachme ents
were being made, mark out the boundary
line and warn white settlers to keen off
the lands. The troubles arise directly
from the fact that settlers have been
granted land that laps on the reservation.
and the general land office issued orders

issue no further patents for lands in the

the Eighth Ward to Him
HIS LICENSE WAS GRANTED
Chief Glass Recommends the Fence
Gr0ggery
Commissioner Guy B. Barham Moves the
Granting of Bsuer's License, and Teed
and Wirsching Both Vote Aye

| There were several incidents OF more
than ordinary interest at the regular
weekly meeting of the board of police
comm issioners held yesterday. Walter f.
| Parker, the handsome executive clerk,
was in attendance at the meeting the first
| time in nearly two months. Otto Wan
mack very unexpectedly withdrew his ap-
| plcation for saloon license for his pro-
posed casino in East Los Angeles, and
| the application OF Theodore Bauer for a
| license in which the city confirms his title
| to the ownership of the disreputable dis
| trict in the Eighth ward, fence and all,
was granted. Not only that, but it was
| granted to Bauer by IL unanimous vote.
Commissioner Guy b. Barham, whose
head has been turned just bit by all of
the flattery and what not OF the past
three months. moved the granting OF the
license and Commissioners Wirsching ar
Teed fell Into line and voted for the
abomination without tuning a hair. The
recommendation of Chief Glass upon the
subject gives the location Of the p. opposed
saloon and rectes that the applicant has
the consent for his place of two.thirds Of
the people in the block, as is required by
the rules OF the board.
Detective Charles B. Moffat in his re-
port upon the subject winds up with this
very naive paragraphs:
"The applicant, Theodore Bauer. is no
doubt known to all of the members of
the police commission
Chief Glass favored the granting of the
license with great deal OF warmth.
Officer J. X. Rit"h was granted twenty
days vacation by the board in addition to
his regular legal lay-off the extension,
however. being without pay.
The application of George Bernstein for
a saloon license at 1928 West Second street,
was finally granted. The proposed resort
is located in the heart of the oil district
and there has always been a great deal of
opposition to the place.
The application of Charles Il. Long for
license at 1888 San Fernando street,
was denied because of the petitioners
lack OF frontage to his petition. Other
applications granted were to John Mog-
grora for the transfer to himself of the
license at 10 West Alameda street. To

WHERE IS II. 7. JUDD?
He Was the Proprietor of a Cigar Stant
That Has Been Chased

That Has Been Closed
One OF the attachments issued yester-
day by Justice Young was against man
named II. L. Judd, the proprietor OF the
cigar stand at the corner of Spring and
Market streets. From what was learned
of the case it would appear that Mr.. Juud
has some peculiar methods of conducting
business. and in addition seems to have
departed from this most beautiful of
cities.
Some time ago Judd purchased the
place from Anthony Schwamm. A good
business had been establish ed, and as u
result Judd traded with all of the lead
ing cigar dealers of the city. 1t is as
serted that at first he purchased only in
lots of 100 or so, but as business in
creased and he became known. he gave
larger orders. Among the dealers he
opened accounts with were Craig, Stew
art d Co., Haas, Baruch & Co., NJ. A.
Newmark e. Co., Kingsbaker Bros. George
Walker and others. Judd failed to settle
with these people and they asked the
board CT trade to settle the matter, This
organization declined, so it was finally
decided to act independently. Accord
ingly the various claims were assigned
to Mr.. b. Turner, and Lawson's detective
agency was employed on the matter.
1t was found that Judd lad tried to
persuade man about the place to take
charge. but he had refused. Monday the
stand was sold to II fellow named Lord.
The agent of the Temple block and one
of the detectives from the agency inter
viewed Lord. and he finally Acknowledged
that it had been only false sale and he
had never paid any money whatever.
The attachment issued yesterday is for
only few hundred dollars, but several
more will be issued during the week.
The whereabouts of Judd could not be
learned last night and it was reported
that he had left the city. although this is
not certain. There is also chance that
he may be able to satisfactorily arrange
things with his creditors.
