lapse physically unless something is
done to relieve the tension.
The whole trouble is due to a very
bloodthirsty letter written by the above
noted Taylor. Sunday morning Postmas-
ter McCoppin received the following:
Postmaster = Postmaster of San Francisco:
/ see you are holding Males from me, ana If
don't get Letter by Monday will wipe out
the whole postoffiee and blow the whole thing
to - D. if don'tl Will take me for q
- fool any longer, so will give you but a
sho time to give me my letter
JAMES TAYLOR,
Empire House, Clay Street.
Answer quickly.
At first little or no attention was paid
the threatening letter, but when Inspector
Munro investigated the case and found
that Taylor existed in the flesh and was
counted .'bad man" by those who knew
him, an intense nervousness seized every
one. When mail-sack dropped there
was q wild STAN pede for the door, and
once when a pretty girl licked stamp out
in the big corridor there was spontaneous
contraction of heart strings.
But after all nothing happened. Later
in the day Inspector Munro caused note
to be left at the Empire Honse, requesting
Taylor to call at once. About o'clock
Tayl lor left the note at Station d, with the
request that it be handed the Inspector.
On the back of the note he had repeated
the warning given Postmaster McCoppin.
though his vengeance was postponed until
to-day.
There are those who think that Taylor
has become frenzied over some fancied
wrong and is quite capable of doing ali
that he says, while others believe him to
be q harmless crank who thinks it smart
to frighten people. In the meantime
every effort is being made to locate the
self-announced anarchist, and as a pre-
cautionary measure an extra policeman
will be on duty at the Postoffice to-day.

new THEATER TO OPEN,
The Old BuSh.Street Will Be
Reftted at Once and
Renamed.
Different Eastern Companies to Be
Played Every Ten Weeks.
Incorporate Here.

The Lyceum Theater Company of Cali
fornia was yesterday incorporated by
a. S. Lowndes, d. L. Conkling and Ten
ison Dean. The capital stock is $4,000,
all of which is subscribed.
The object of the new corporation is to
open in this City a theater of it's own,
where legitimate and romantic dramas
will be produced.
1t has already decided to occupy the
Bush-street Theater, which will be thor
oughly renovated and reftted. A new
name will also be given to it. Work upo N
the building will commence Immediately
and Will be pushed with vigor, as the
initial performance will be given about
Decem Der 1. Thereafter the intention is
to maintain a continuous series of per-
formances during a long season.
The best obtainable Eastern companies
will be engaged, and every ten weeks an
enIire new cast will be imported. In
general way the plan is to follow a course
similar to that of the Colum bia Theater
with its Frawley and other companies.
at first the promoters thought of hav-
ing an entirely new theater built. but the
plan was not considered feasible. Then 1t
became matter of choosing the unused
theater in the st. Nicholas Hotel building
or the old one on Bush street. The ad-
vantage of a downtown location easily
persuaded them, and the Bush street
Theater was leased.

rayed in black. with huge som brero hat,
and he wore a cable of gold round his
neck thick enough to hold small anchor.
lie also wore gilt nugget in .place of a
breastpln. Altogether his appearance was
strikingly forid and picturesque. Mr..
Cash's companion, who gave the name OF
J. ID. Green. said he was an American
who was devoting his efforts to helping
the cause of Cuba.
II am of United States origin" said
Mr.. Cash, when interviewed after the
NEE ting, "tut / went to Cuba when quite
child, and consider myself almost
Cuban. Two of my brothers are fighting
IN the Cuban army, and my sister is nurs-
ing the Cuban wounded. l have been
touring the United States soliciting
money, food and cast-off clothing for the
unfortunate rebels. We should be glad
OF anything, even an old hat or pair of
overaHs."
There was not the slightest trace of
Spanish accent in Samuel Cash's words,
but this he attributed to having come OF
American parentage. When asked If he
represented any religious denomination
in Cuba, he replied that he was working
In the cause of humanity and patriotism
only, and could give no references to any
one, either i'll this country or Cuba.
II wish you to understand that l am
not flibuster, but | am in league and
sympathy with those who are" he said.
1.-THE filibusters have to be very careful TO
escape the law, and therefore | cannot
state who are my colleagues. We have
headquarters in New York, and we have
also an organization here. There are be-
tween thirty-five and forty Cuban patriots
in this City, but if told their names the
Spanish spies, who are always on our trail,
would manage to secure their conviction
for filibustering; therefore l act for them.
Ii any one wishes to join the Cuban army
let HIM apply to me, Samuel Cash, ga
California street. l will not enroll him as
a volunteer, but l will direct him to those
who will"
In proof of this statement Mr.. Cash
brought printed document from case
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-27

which he carried in his hand. 1t looked
like an enrolment paper, and contained
mum ber OF Signatures which he would
not permit to be perused. Turning to one
of the bank pages, he showed portion
OF heading, which began: by author
ity of the Cuban Junta. Article of agree
ment. the insurgents of the Island of
Cuba parties OF the first part, and the vol
unteer citizens OF America, who may see
fit 20 lend their support in behalf of
the suffering Americans now being tor
tured and punished by the Spanish au-
thorities in the Island of Cuba, be pro-
tected with all the zeal and energy in
their power; furthermore, We, the under
signed, hereby agree to pay the sums of
money set.opposite our respective names"
The above portion, with regard to sub
scriptions, was rather incoherent as well
as ungrammatical. but the paragraph with
regard to personal service was more plain:
ARTICLE of agreement for Americans who
may voluntarily lend their support to join
the Cubans in behalf of the suffering in
surgents, for the purpose of aiding them
in their heroic endeavors in attempting to
free the island of Cuba from the dominion
of the Spanish Government. The article
further stated that men who were to give
their services must pay their own expenses
in travelling to the island of Cuba.
Twenty one Californians left for Cuba
last Tuesday" said Mr.. Cash. "Men who
had been recruited in different parts of
the State. The thing was managed so
quietly that nothing was heard of their
going. At present they are in one OF the
Southern ports waiting for an opportunity
to get across"
Samuel Cash's avocation was not stated
at the meeting yesterday, but he is en-
gagged in running a shooting gallery on
Kearny street, near California.

STRONG FOR MCKINLEY.
District Attorney Barnes Visited In
Southern California by Ex-
Confederate Veterans

District Attorney Barnes Visited in
Southern California by Ex-
Confederate Veterans.
District Attorney William S. Barnes, at
the request of the Republican State Cen
traI Committee, has Just been engaged in
a canvass of the southern part of the State.
During his trip he delivered several ad-
dresses and was uniformly greeted with
large crowds and a warm reception, re-
ceiving in many places ovations significant
OF the fact that Southern California's vote
is safe for Mckinley and prosperity. Mr..
Barnes returned home yesterday.
1.-The region have canvassed,' he said
''extends from Tehachapi to the Mexican
line. I find that in that great district
wherever there is water. alluxial soil and
growing crops the people, irrespective of
party affiliations, are for Mckinley.
1.-THE great industries of that section of
the country are the citrus fruit, the wal
nut and the beet sugar industries. 1t
costs the Southern Californian grower
81 so box to lay down box of oranges
in New York. 1t costs the Mediterranean
