MISSIONARIES IN MEXICO
The Natives Naturally Object to Visitors
Criticism
English Mine Owners Hoist the British Flag
Over Their Property and Defy the
Local Authorities

CITY OF MEX ICO, Sept. 23.--Govern.
or Gravito of the gr eat mining state OF
Hidalgo has, at the so licitation of the
resident English miners, granted per-
mission for prize fight in that state,
taking the ground that the English arc
entitled to their national sports and
plays as they do not care ior Bull fights.
The Mexican Herald comes out against
the proposed missionary crusade against
the virgin of Guadalupe, saying that as
the American and English protestant
are enjoying the hospitality of the coun-
try, ii is manifestly improper to criticize
the cherished beliefs of the masses of the
Mexican peonle. 1t IL reported this
evening that the American minister has
succeeded in dissuading the missionaries
from their contemplated action.
Ell Nacional continues its advocacy of
the annexation of Cuba to Mexico. in
which several important daily papers
join.
A telegram from San Luis Potosi states
that the Englshmen in charge OF the
Guadalcaz ,r mines. in being summoned
to surrender possession of the property
to representatives of the shares amount
ing to 5000, 900, resisted the authorizes
with arms and hoisted the British flag,
denying the local officers to enter the
property. This is quicksilver mine
owned in London.

CUSTER'S UNCASHED CHECK

BISMARCK, n. D., Sept. 23.-The
tragic death of General Custer and his

Indians in the massacre of the Little Big
Horn was rec ,lled here this week by the
forwarding to Mrs. Custer of a che k for
$500 draw to the order of General
George A. Custer in 1876. The check is
dated June 18th, and is signed by B.
Smith, at that time assistant paymaster
in the army. It was on June %, 1876,
that the massacre took place. The check

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY BONDS
The Supreme Court Says They Are
Valid
A Nice Question Of Law Which Nearly Pre-
vented the Building Of a Needed
County Hospital

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-The SUI
preme court decided today that the San
Joaquin county bond issue was valid.
G. +. Rowland sued the supervisors of
the county to have the bonds declared
invalid. The bonded Indebtedness was
created to raise money for the erection
of q county hospital. Rowland contend
ed that the supervisors had exceeded
their power, because two-thirds of the
qualified voters of the county mad not
voted in favor of the issuance of bonds.
The special election on the question as to
whether the Indebtedness should be
created was held Novem Der s. 1899, on
the same da, as general election.
Votes to the mum Der of $500 were cast at
the general election, but the returns
showed that 1880 electors voted in favor
of the issuance of bonds and 1006 against.
If two-thiris of all the votes cast were
necessary to legally justify the issuance
OF bonds. then the proposition was defeat
ed. But the court hel that the law does
not require vote of two-thirds of all
votes cast at the general election. 1t
only requires two-thirds of all those cast
at the special election, which happened
in this instance to be held on the same
day as the general election. Under this
construction the vote WAS sufficient.

THE M'LEAN DIVORCE CASE
Testimony as to Naughty Oscillation Is
Refused
The Plaintiff Will No Longer Be Bothered by
Detectives Nor by a Husbands
Insane Jealousy

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-Mrs. Car
rie Mclean will not be annoyed by her
husbands jealousy and his sleuths any
more. Judge Hebbard divorced her from
her husband, Anthony Mclean, today,
giving her half the community property,
but reserving the question of who shall
have the custody OF the children until the
decree is signed.
All the money spent by the husband IN
trying to prove that his wifss friendship
for Preacher Watts was not what it should
be was usel ess expenditure, for Judge
Hebbard apparently threw out all the
vigilant sleuths' testimony as to the
OSCILLATION on Bernal Heil hts, in Jeffer-
son park and elsewhere. ne agreed how
ever, that Mclean had been treated
cruelty by his wife and he granted the
divorce to the husband on the ground of
extreme cruelty.
The attorneysf or Mrs. Mclean tried to
have a new answer and cross comp plant
to the original complaint admitted, in
which Mrs. Mclean specifically denied
every one of her usband's allegations
as TO her intimacy with the Rev. Watts
and charged Anthony WITH insane jeal-
ousy and ferocity, constituting extreme
cruelty. This would have reopened the
entire case but the Judge declined to con-
slider the new documents and denied the
request for their admission.
