TIE CUBAN WAR
IdiotIc Reasons Advanced for Continuing the
Struggle

MADRID, Aug. 20.-Senor Sagasta,
prime minister of Spain, said it was pro-
posed to send a dispatch containing a
memorandum upon the Cuban war to
the United States government but this
effort failed, owing to treason and
treachery.
He feared that President Cleveland S
successor would be impelled by the force
of public opinion in America to take an
attitude hostile to Spain. He expresJ<l
the hope that the government woul(klay
the claims of damages because of fill
clustering expeditions reported to have
landed in Cuba, before the United States
government, In conclusion Senior Sa-
gasta said that it was unnecessary to
continue the war in Cuba in order to
prove that Spain is not afraid of threats
OF a conflict with greater nation.

LIZZIE PARKS
The Unfortunate Girl Placed In tho Count,
Jail as Insane


Lizzie Parks, the unfortunate Young
girl who is afflicted with periodical
mania, is again in custody being placed
under the care of the matron at the
county Jail last evening by Deputy Sher-
if White, Lizzie is prepossessing
young girl of about II and the greater
portion of the time is quite rational, but
has occasional spells during which she
runs away from hoIe and is often
found wandering aimlessly about miles
in the country
Her parents reside at Boyle Heights,
but Lizzie absolutely refuses to live
with them as she feels very sensitive
during her lucid periods, when she re-
alizes her condition. For over a lonth
past she has been looked after by HUI
name officer Clark, who has sent her to
several different houses where the peo-
pie took her in and cared for her, pre-
tending not to know that she was de-
mented, but every time she has run
away.
When one of her spells. comes on shse
has an insane desire to get out and
run until her strength is exhausted, and
she is compelled to stop. ExPolice
officer Valincia about six weeks ago
found her in an orange orchard out near
San Gabriel, where she had wandered
without having any idea of where she
was going. II has been the hope that her
condition would improve with treat
ment and that it would not be necessary
to send her to the insane asylum, but
this will probably now be done. once
before she was an inmate of Highland,
but was discharged on parole. For
nearly six months she was all right, but
now she is undoubtedly crazy.

Ladies are Given a Chance to Express
their Choice for President.
The women's vote, now being taken

is of great interest to all parties, as it
has long been a matter of conjecture
what course they would pursue if given
the elective franchise. Large numbers
of the best ladies in the land are max
ing use of this opportunity to express
their own views, and the final result
of the women's vote is looked forward
to with great interest. The ladies seem
deeply in earnest IN this opportunity
to express their preference in national
affairs. 1t is true, the movment brings
into marked prominence a manufacture
ing firm whose Office force is used for re-
ceivingsand reporting the ballots twice
a week, bnt that fact is simply inciden-
tai and does not detract from the pro-
found public interest in the question of
the women's vote. 1t has been urged
that the vote is perhaps more sure
to be accurately and fairly counted by
the skilled accountants of a business
office than when handled by some of
the ordinary judges of election. How
ever this may be, the company is of

The doctrine of secession and section

any other class, strikes far deeper in.
