The Ninth Division.

The trite saying, Last but not least,
applied with force to the ninth division.
While no great pretense was made at dis
play, it was replete with charming features
and patriotism galore. The officers were:
Jam es n. Humphries, marshal; Charles
Bliss, chief aid James Curlett and DR.. G. L.
Scharff, aids. The line formed on Second
street, and at the proper time fell in with
the main procession.
First came Ebert's band of sixteen
pieces and then a float, protecting the
Flag" drawn by two splendid mastiffs.
Then the school children made their pres
ence known. The float, Marriage of
Pocahontas," portrayed Dy pupils of the
James Lick School, proved to be a very
pretty piece. Following this came the
South Cosmopolitan School, representing
the Army Hospital Corps. 1t was a pretty
scene, was this floating tavern for the
sick. Pretty maids, with dainty head
dress and neat white aprons, looked per-
fectly the parts they assumed. The lads
and lassies on the floats were Sidney Gold
man, Edward Abenheim, Joe Schoenfeld,
Adolph Reusen, Charlie Reusen, Hertert
Levy, Miss Florence Milne and Miss Annie
More
Where are you going, my pretty maid ?"
might very well have been said to Miss
Maggie Fitzpatrick, who posed as a dairy
maid for popular ranch, clad in flowing
red, white and blue, with a wealth of
golden hair peeping saueiIy from under a
iaunty Tam O. ShanIer. Miss Fitzpatrick
was a perfect poets dream of dairy maid.
Following this float came carriages bear
ing City, State and other officials, the
whole ending with long ling of enter
prising advertisers, and socialists bearing
banners OF very socialistic characters.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-05

then the Swiss band of fourteen pieces
playing American airs as though to the
manner born. Close behind followed
Council Florida No. Z, and Council
Amorda de Patria No. 5.
Then one of the prettiest features of the
whole parade swung into line. 1t was an
immense float representing the Portuguese
explorer, Vasco da Cana, on board the
good ship San Gabriel en- route for India.
She was manned by some ten swarthy
sons, their headgear and costumes pre-
senting a figure at once striking and pic
turesque. The float was driven by four
white horses gayly bedecked with yellow
trimmings.
The Japanese band, Asahi they call it.
headed the Japanese society, eighty
strong, under the command of S. Yamato.
The japanese, attired in neat-fitting suits
of white and carrying great punches of
cherry blossoms, looked decidedly natty
In fact, no part of the procession attracted
more general attention than did they.
In rear of the regular company came a
line of japanese in uniform pulling an an
cient howitzer, which they fired OCCASION
ally with much effect. On Van Ness ave.
nue. this little gun was guilty of all man
ner of queer antics, causing the native
small boy to open his eyes in wonder and
amazement. For instance, during a halt
the gun was trained skyward, and then
fired. A deafening crash followed, and
then away up in the air, a thousand feet
or more, unfurled an American flag. The
breezes caught the folds and kept them
open, and while admiring thousands
cheered contrary winds caught the na-
tons emblem and gently waited it toward
the Oakland shore.
Later on the gun was again turned loose,
and this time far up in the blue dome ap-
peared parachute. A few seconds later
the head of a man was seen, followed al
most instantly by the entire figure. The
crowd gaZed IN wonder and awe at the
gyrations of the imam in the clouds" Few
realized that it was but fanciful trick of
the little men from the island empire.

ancient Tombs.

Five intact tombs of the second and th ird
centuries before Christ have been discov-
cred at Camar1na, in Eastern Sicily, by
DR.. Orst. though the greater part of the
burial places had been plundered in ancient
times. At Noto Vecchio he has found
three prehistoric cemeteries, a Jewish and
three small Christian catacombs. He will

rIehtine Rob,s Views on Cuba.

WASHINGTON. May 13.-Fighting Bob
Evans OF the United States navy does not
approve OF the Cuban policy of the admin
istratlon, and when he was in Washington
a few days ago lac frankly told the presi-
dent 80. He thinks this government
ought to show It's sympathy with the in
surgents and take hand in the shindy
IL he had his way. he would drive the
Spaniards out Of Cuba entirely and annex
the island 10 the United States. Ho gave
the president some powerful arguments TO
sustain that view OF tho case, but the pres
ident begged of and referred Fighting
Bob 20 Secretary Olney, who, no said, was
looking after the Cuban business. So
when Captain Evans was In Washington
he called upon the secretary Of state and
was introduced by Assistant Secretary
McAdoo of the navy department, who Is
also Cuban sympathizer In secret.
Captain Evans expressed his views with
great freedom to the secretary Of state, as
he did TO his friend, the president, and
among other things he said;
Mr.. Secretary, the battleship Indiana,
which have the honor TO command, is
the fastest fighting machine afloat, and II
you will give the word I will go down TO
Cuba and with her alone will undertake
60 clean out the entire Spanish fleet
Tho secretary OF state smiled, but ro-
mained silent.
See here, Mr.. Secretary, continued
the captain earnestly, 'wouldn't you like
Go have me cruise down around Cuba and

II don't smoke, was the socretarys
curt reply.
Captain Evans bowed obediently to tho
decision and said goodby, but ho could
not conceal his disappointment. Whom he
loft the secretary's Office, he remarked in
an undertono TO Mr.. McAdoo that If they
would only give him a chance in Cuba
with his hattleship "no language but
Spanish would be spoken IN hell for the

OnInlon of The limo.

LONDON, May 1s.-ln an editorial re-
garding the reported seizure at Chefu OF
land situated within the British conces-
sion, The Times say: "It Is inconceivable
that the land which China oedes TO Russia
at Chefu forms part Of the British conces-
sion. Such an act would entail an imme-
diate demand for reparation. In any case
the government will see that Englishmen
are not wronged with impunity. The
moral of the incident Is that other powers
dispense with preliminary exhortation
when they want anything from China and
threaten force. China knows that they
are in earnest and yields. Until we instil
a similar conviction into the mandarins
we shall always come Off second best
where France and Russia are our rivals. -
