.BUDD IS MUCH IMPROVED
He Still, However, Is Subject
to Severe Pains in the
Head.
Is Able to Leave His Mothers
Home.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 14.-Governor
Budd was much better to-day. He passed
restless night, and as usual had severe
pains in the back of his head. His left leg
and ankle are swollen with rheumatism,
and the right wrist and hand are also very
painfnl from his old complaint. During
the day his temperature fell to almost it's
normal condition, and his pulse was much
steadier.
He is so weak that he can hardly lift
himself from the bed, and it will be sew
eral weeks before he can leave his mothers
home here. Then he contemplates going
to Tiburon and living quietly in an ark in
the bay until his nervous troubles are
over. He will not allow himself to be
bothered by politicians or office-seekers,
and will there be guarded carefully from
all annoyances of this kind. He has been
a much sicker man than any one realized.

Mr.. Huntington received many inquiries
about South America and to these he said
the way to get along with the republics,
was to treat them fairly and not to drive
them. As for Cuba the expectation abroad
was that Spain would put down the rebel

better means of carrying freight, as COM

came from west of the Alleghanies and
would go west by rail instead of going
first to seaboard and thence by the canal.
Mr.. Huntington said it was doubtful if
he attended the meeting of the railroad
presidents, since any freight agreement
would probably be broken by somebody in

MYSTERY At STOCKTON,
An Unknown Young Man
Found Severely Wounded
Under a Bridge.
He Absolutely Refused to Make
Known His Identity and
Later Disappeared.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 14.-Last even
ing George Salch and Henry Woodsun
while crossing the bridge On Pilgrim street
over Minor channel heard groans issuing
from beneath the bridge.
On making an investigation they found
young man about 20 years of age lying
on the bank, bleeding profusely from a
wound in the right side of his neck. He
was suffering greatly and talked in such
an incoherent manner that they concluded
he was badly injured and went in search of
assistance for him.
A lot of camp ers were located near by
and from one of these a lantern was OBJ
tanned. Woodsun wiped the blood from
the wounded man and with the aid of
'Salch removed the sufferer to one of the
campers tents.
After the flow of blood was stopped the
Young man revived, but refused to give
any account of how he had received the
wound in his neck. He also refused to
give his name or tell where he lived and
seemed anxious to have the whole matter
hushed up. The men who had found him
wanted to save themselves from being i'm
nlicated in the affair and so reported what
they had learned to the police.
When they returned to the camp the
man they had discovered under the bridge
had gone. He disappeared when one of
the Campers went to the channel for some
Several shots were heard fired earlier in
the evening by some of the residents of the
neie hborhood, number of whom ran out
to see what the trouble was. 1t is thought
from the reticence of the man who was
found wounded beneath the bridge that
the affair involves some amour OF his. and
about his assailant.

NEWS Of THE COAST.
Mcguire Lectures on the
Single Tax Prop
oSitiOn.
ITS EFFECT ON WAGES.
Men Would Find Employment
on Lands Now Held by
Spectators.
ITS EFFECT ON WAGES.
BETTER TIMES WOULD FOLLOW.
The Congested Condition Of the
Labor Market in Cities Would
Disappear.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 4.-The single
tax proposition was the subject before the
Grange summer school at Normal Hall
this morning Hon. j. G. Mcguire was
the speaker, and for an hour he held the
closest attention Of his hearers.
The distinguished gentleman treated his
subject with special reference to the
farmer, how it would affect him and how
it would affect the holders of personal
property in cities. In beginning his re-
marks Judge Mcguire said that the propo-
sition was to take the tax off everything
except land, and that the land should be
taxed irrespective of any improvements
upon it.
1.-THE effect of removing the tax from
everything save land would be far-reach-
ing" he said. ''There would be no half
way ground and either good OF great harm
would result. The land is the gift of the
Creator 90 mankind. Man is land ami
NAL and all he eats and wears comes from
the land. The advocates of the single tax
are not advocating a measure which will
give to the idle and destitute something
from the industry of the workers.
ION the other hand they propose that
every man who is willing to work shall have
the opportunity of doing so. Every man who
is willing and able to make living should
have the opportunity of doing it. There
are men who cannot find work. There
are millions of acres of idle and unprobuc-
tive land which men would cheerfully &C.
cupy and make productive, but they are
denied the right because land monopolies
hold possession.
Land has little or no value except as
the community by its industry and growth
gives it value. This is recognized by the
holders of land who keep it for speculative
purposes, knowing that as the community
grows and increases in population and in
dustry there is a constant increase in the
value of the land. This increment does
not come from the mans industry, but
comes from the community. Naturally
the community should have the incre-
ment.
"Now, we believe that if taxation is laid
upon the land alone, the land which is
held for speculative purposes will be
thrown upon the market. This will allow
the hundreds of men seeking work to find
land upon which to live and work. No
one will deny but that the men who are
willing to work should be given the oppor-
unity. With the wonderful inventions of
a labor-saving character many men have
been thrown out of work. Land monopoly
holds them in the city, already overrun
and crowded with men seeking work. 1t
is natural consequence that wages go
down. By putting the land upon the mar
ket it will go back to the people, where it
belongs, and the congested condition of
affairs will be relieved"
His address met with hearty applause.
Professor Kellogg OF the University of
California spoke in the afternoon.
Tomorrow afternoon Hons. John P.
Irish and NJ. NJ. Estee will talk about gold
and silver respectively.

CUBA,S STAR RISING.
The Tide Has Turned IN FGror of the
INSURGENTS.

The Tide Has Turned In Fdror or the
Insurgents.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. A.-Gonzalo
de Quesada. secretary of the Cuban revo-
lutionary party, yesterday received letter
from General Antonio Maceo, dated from
the camp of Monte Palo July 81. The
general declares that the revolution IN
Santiago and Camaguey provinces is very
powerful and that the insurgents are
marching from success to success. The
Spanish soldiers, he says, appear to be
panic-stricken and surrendered IN almost
every encounter. He ADDS that five repre-
sentatives of the Eastern department have
LETT for Camaguey in order to constitute
the provisional government of the republic.
Other advices from Camaguey and
Santiago de Cuba state that General
Gomez's army is beng daily REINFORCED.
The city of Puerto Principe is in panic.
and the Spanish soldiers are afraid to VEN
ture out OF it. Martinez Campos has in
structed that all columns OF troops sent
into the country from Puerto Principe
must erect milestones to mark their line OF
route, so that he may satisfy himself that
they visit the places they arc ordered to.
From eight to ten cases of yellow fever
are registered in Puerto Principe daily.
All the young Cubans in the place have
joined their fellow-countryme in the
field. Fifty soldiers from Galicia, who.
were placed on guard at the Ell Sugareno
Mllantation, have gone over to the Cubans
With their arms and ammunition. The
insurgent outposis around the city can be
easily diseerned from the church towers.

SACRAM ENTO POLICE SUED
The Plaintiff Asks $4,000
Damages for False I'M
priSonment.
Was Kept in Jail for Nearly Two
Days Though Guilty of No
OffenSe.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 4.-P. K.
Turner, an employe of downtown hotel,
commenced suit to-day against Chief of
Wilson and Talbot for false Imprisonment
and asks for $4,000 damages. In his COM
plant he recites:
"That after his arrest on the night of
August 8, 1895, plaintiff was cast into a
cell at the City Prison of the city of Sacra-
mento, wherein were certain prisoners ac-
cused of opium oking, murder and va
grancy, and was there compelled to re-
main until the time of his liberation on
Sunday, August H. 1895, at II o'clock A. NJ.
THAT at the time of his detention the
plaintiff was not permitted by Drew and
Maley and Talbot and those in charge of
the City Prison to communicate with his
family or friends or to obtain or furnish
bail or permitted in any manner to learn
the cause of his detention.
"That plaintiff herein is married man
with a family, consisting of wife and five
children, all of whom were and are de-
pendent upon the labor of plaintiff; that
at no time was any complaint OH file
against the plaintiff of criminal nature,
nor was any charge OF any sort placed
against him at the city prison or else
where; that at the time of his arrest
plaintiff was employee at the Western
Hotel, in the city of Sacramento receiving
salary in such employment, and by rea-
son of his detention and imprisonment as
aforesaid he was discharged from his said
position and lost said employment; that
said imprisonment was wholly unlawful
and illegal and wrongful, and it was
learned by defendants, Drew, Maley and
Talbot, prior to his release and on the 10th
day Of August, 1895, that plaintiff herein
was not accused of any crime and his de-
tention was not desired for any criminal
offense, but Notwithstanding such fact de-
PENDANTS detained and restrained him of
his liberty until the 18th day of August,
1895"
The facts of the case seem to be that
Turner while in a variety theater was
pointed out to an officer by would be de-
tective, who stated that he was a man who
was badly wanted. The officer, acting
upon this Information, locked him up and
refused him bail. 1t subsequently devel-
oped that the prisoner was not the man
wanted and he was set at liberty.

Read What the Daily Report
SAID Last Evening.
TWO BITS
On the Dollar for a Fine Suit Of Wooden
Clothing.

julius W. Raphael was treated to a sur
prise party yesterday that lasted all day
long. The well-known Kearny- street firm
of Raphael's announced that in conse-
quence of damage by water, the whole
stock of clothing and furnishing goods
would be sold at great reduction in prices.
Buyers were on hand quite early, prepared
to get bargains, but were dumfounded at
the slaughter which had been made on for
mer selling rates. The news that clothing
was being sacrificed spread like wildfre.
and very soon the deluge of people COM
PEELED the firm to close the doors while Gus
toners on the inside were waited on before
admitting those who were crowding out
side on the sidewalk. The crush was SIM
ply tremendous, and the sales of yesterday
must have made great inroads on the stock.
Everybody who bought anything went
away more than satisfied Some of the
clothing was scarcely touched by water,
but there was no discrimination. Suits
went for song, and they will continue to
go for next to nothing until everything is
cleaned up. The same rush and excite
ment prevailed to-day.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 4.-There
was an interesting meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the electric carnival to-
night at which decisive arrangements were
made.
Since the time when Director-General
Coleman announced that he had decided
upon the plaza as the place for the review
ing stand there has been great deal of
opposition manifested by those who
thought the plaza too small and who IA
vored the Capitol park. Tonight the d.
rector-general was almost unanimously
voted down and instead of placing the re-
viewing stand in plaza covering one city
block it will be placed at the main en-
trance of the Capitol grounds.
The line of march will be from Tenth to
K, to Second, to J, to Tenth and past the
reviewing stand at the Capitol. The Capt.
toll building itself will be brilliantly iliu-
minated with incandescent lamps SO ar
ranged as to show its outline. The trees
and walks in the park will also be bril-
liantly lighted with electricity. ct the
committee meeting tonight it was an
nounced that electric floats would be the
principal features of the parade, and that
they would exceed anything ever seen in
the United States.
