To Enormous Audiences at San
Francisco
MITCHELL OF LOS ANGELES
Makes His Debut Before the Northern
PopuIsce Il
a Logical. Scholarly and Eloquent Pre-
sentation Of the Great Issues Of the
Pending Political Campaign

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-John w.
Mitchell and Thomas v. Gator addressed
an enormous audience here tonight at
Metropolitan temple on the silver ques-
tion and the issues Of the day. Mr.. Gator
made characteristic speech and carried
the large crowd with him.
It was Mr.. Mitchell's debut before a
San Francisco audience and though evil
IDENTIFY suffering physically with severe
cold he made very fine impression.
MITCHELL'S SPEECH
Mr.. Mitchell in part said:
I am Democrat-have always been a
Democrat, and, am here tonight to
maintain the principles and support the
nominees of the Democratic party. And
while traitors and foes to our cause are
attempting to filch our time-honored
name, misconstrue and pervert our his
tory and policies, we adhere to and
would remind all of our first principles.
The word Democracy-which is ours
was derived from the Greek words
damos, the people, and arco, to rule, and
interprets itself. 1t means the rule Of the
people in contra distinction to the rule
OF one man DIS Ill IL lIlOudICHy, ~ tAAc
rule Of few men, as in an oligarchy; to
the rule Of nobility or preferred class
as in an aristocracy. 1t means simply
the majority of the people shall rule In
such manner as they themselves shall
direct.
But the Democratic party of the
United States, which believe in, lis also
constitutional democracy in its mature
and enlightened type. It Is as far from
the maligned charge Of mo bocracy or the
sway Of a majority as expressed bymain
strength, instigated by transient pas
sions, as it is from monarchy, oligarchy
or aristocracy. 1t Is a democracy that
appeals to reason and the sympathy OF
the masses Of the people, and your rea
son 1 beg leave to address myself to to-
highland reason cannot offend, though
some of you may be follower Of soma
one Of the other great parties.
The Democratic party, supported by
its allies, the Peoples and Silver party
organized in every county of every
state in the union, Is arrayed in line oi
battle against the Republican party
for recruits to rally around their stand
ards. Each desires and asks your sup.
port and the support; of the'people i;
is for you and the people to say whict
deserves and which shall receive
it. Your wants - the wants VI
the people-are obvious. You, the
people, want a national policy and ad-
ministration that will reverence and
obey the constitution and laws as they
exist; which will protect alike every cit
izen in the full enjoyment of his politi.
cal and personal rights; which will moi
discriminate either in it's legislation ol

MILITARY INSPECTION.
Troop B and the Signal Corps Receive
rlany Compliments.

Troop B and the Signal Corps were in
spected last evening by Major Wright
Of General Muller's staff and Captain
Darlington, L. S. A.
Troop B was put through the Saber
and revolver manual, and then marched
in company and platoon formations.
The Signal Corps was drilled in the
saber and revolver manual, as well as
the flag exercises.
The troops Quartermaster was COM
plimented for the efficient manner in
which he had taken care of State prop
erty, and Troop 3 for its proficiency in
drill, which was considered well done,
considering the number of new re-
cruits it contains.
The Signal Corps was complimented
on its proficiency in drill with the saber
and revolver, and the men on their gen.
eral efficiency as signalmen.
Troop BIS percentage of attendance
was nearly 80, while of twenty men in
the Signal Corps nineteen were present
The inspection was satisfactory in
every respect, the men acquitting them
selves with honor.
A large number of misfit and obso-
lete uniforms were condemned and or
dered given to some charitable insti-
tuition for distribution among the poor,
instead of being burned, as has hereto
fore been the custom.

The Saturday Evening Affairs Be-
coming Very Popular.

A series of pleasant Saturday even
ing socials or entertainments will be
started this evening in the rooms of the
Young Mems Christian Association to
which young men are invited.
The Signal Corps, First Brigade, B.
=. c., will entertain their young men
friends this evening. No set programme
will be given, but an informal good time,
under the direction of the Signal Corps,
has been planned, and lemonade will be
served. These Saturday evening pas
times are not invitation affairs, but
any young man who desires to spend
pleasant evening is invited.
Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock the
series of meetings begun last Sunday
will be continued. Mr.. Hanna of Chi
cago and F. NJ. Chadbourn will again
assist in the song service, and the style
of the meeting will be changed some
what from the usual order of things.
The parlor last Sunday was filled with
men, only three chairs being empty, and
a most interesting meeting was the re-
suit
The State Secretary, John l.. Speares,
has spent several days with the Sacra-
mento Association, assisting in can
vass for finances. The Board of Man
agement desire to raise the annual sub
scription list to an amount sufficient to
guarantee them in employing physi-
cal instructor and otherwise enlarging
the usefulness of the association. The
amount desired has not yet been
reached but the business men have
shown a decided interest in the associ-
alton, and the matter of a few hundred
dollars will not stand in their way when
the success of such an institution is at
stake.
Next Monday evening the Amphion
Glee Club will meet to consider the ad-
visibility of continuing their rehears
ais during the summer months. The
Junior roll now numbers thirty-three,
with an average attendance of eighteen.
The boys meet twice a week, Wednes-
day afternoon after school hours and
Saturday morning at 10 O'Clock.

PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-An af-
ternoon newspaper printed the follow
ing story:
No more forcible evidence Of the
butchery Of unarmed and unprotected
Cubans by the Spanish troops could
be adduced than advices received in
this city this afternoon from Matanzas;
Cuba, which graphically depict the bar
barous and inhuman means employed
by the Spanish soldiers in their war
against the Cubans. The letter was
dated May 9th, and reached this city
through private sources, for the reason,
as cited in the communication, that all
letters that go via the Havana Post
office are tampered with and frequently
do not reach their destination. 1t was
pointed out that letters containing any
information against the Spanish Gov
ernment led to the Imprisonment and
often to the death of the writer
The letter received here this after
noon started out with the statement
that sixty-four on-combatants-men
women and children-were attacked by
a Spanish column under Colonel Aldea
in the town of Savinalla, near Matan-
zas, and fired upon by his orders. Twen-
ty-seven were killed instantly, and the
rest fed into cane field, which was set
on fire by the troops and all perished in
the flames, and the bodies were left as
food for the buzzards.
Another was the case of two bodies of
white men which were found on the
shore of Matanzas Bay. These bodies
were lashed together, and there was
unmistakable evidence of having been
killed by machetes. The discovery of
the bodies caused great sensation, and
now the authorities are trying to make
it out that it was the work of the in
surgents.
The writer points out that this is
ridiculous, for the reason that the in
surgents are not in possession Of Mat
anzas, and that the men were political
prisoners confined in the San Severino
Castle, where assassinations of this
kind are said to be carried on almost
nightly and the bodies cast into the
bay, which have been found with
weights attached to their feet. In the
case in point the writer says the
weights must have become loosened
and the bodies floated ashore. In case
before this, it is stated that the fisher
men brought up in their nets bodies
tied together with weights, and since
then the fishing has been prohibited
near there.
Affidavits to all these facts are in pos
session Of the person who wrote the
letter.
FARMERS MUST SELL THEIR
GRAIN.
HAVANA, May 15.-Captain- General
Weyler has issued proclamatio or
dering the farmers and peasantry dur
ing the next twenty days to transport
to the towns in their vicinity all of the
corn and other grain stored upon their
farms. This order applies to the prov
iEces of Pinar del Rio, Havana and
MatanZas. The military quartermas-
tiers are authorized by this order to pur-
chase the grain sent to the towns by the
farmers at the current price, and if the
grain is not required by the Government
it will be stored for the account of its
owners. After the period of twenty
days has elapsed, the proclamation de-
clares, any grain found upon farms in
the provinces mentioned will be re-
sarded as contraband of war, and will
be seized, and the owners thereof sub
jected to criminal proceedings.

Building on K Street.

K street is about to have another ele-
CANT building, and it will nearly COM
plete the improvement of the block be-
tween Sixth and Seventh necessary to

Breuner Bros. have obtained a ten
years lease of the Mcguire and Will
son properties east of their large furni-
ture store, with the privilege of pur-
chase within that time, and are hay
ing plans drawn by Architect Seadler

ing their store.
The building is to have a frontage of
100 feet, and will be two stories in

erty between their store and the Cap
ital Hotel-that owned by the Turton'
estate-but prohibitive price was de-
manded.
The new building is to be finished by
November 1st, when the first floor will
be occupied by Wasserman, Davis &
Co. of the Nonpareil Store, who have
obtained ten-year lease. The front Of
the upper story will contain Offices. and
the rear portion will be used by the
owners as wareroorns in connection

it has been leased by Geiser & Kauf-
| man, the J-street shoe dealers.
