ALL WENT TO HELP CUBA.
Offers Of Assistance with Money and Men
Constantly Being Made.

1t is understood at Madrid, that the
Spanish government has abandoned its
intention to address a note to the gov
eminent at Washington concerning
that part of President Cleveland's mes
sage which referred to Spain and Cuba,
and will ignore the document alto

The Paris Intransigeant publishes an
address by the Cuban committee of
Paris, which declares that the murder
of Gen. Antonio Maceo will fertilize
the cause of Cuba's liberty. The revolt
in Cuba, the address says. has the
sympathy of all Frenchmen, who up
hold the rights of man.
Governor Drake of Iowa, in an inter-
view. says he thinks it time for the
United States to recognize the indie
pendence of Cuba. The Governor
speaks warmly of the Cuban cause and
is anxious to aid the PARROTS. Adju-
tant General Wright is flooded with
letters from men who want arms with
which to go to the front. Gov. Drake

1.-THE SPARTA" LOOTED.
D. G. CamarinoS' Sansome-Street
Tavern Ransacked by
Thieves.
Thirty Jimmy.WieIders Quench Their
Drouth With Another
Mans Liquor.

At prominent corner on a street along
which many persons are constantly pass
ing on a brilliant moonlight night a re-
markably daring burglary was committed
last night.
The scene of the burglary was the
Sparta saloon. conducted by D. G. Cana
rinos, on the northwest corner of Mer-
chant and Sansome streets. not more than
half a block from the Postoffice and APP
praiser's building.
1t is certain that the burglary was COM
mitted between the hours of 9:45 and 10:15
o'clock last night. About quarter to 10
George F. Nichols, special officer and
Waterman employed by Mr.. Camarinos
and other business men in the neighbor-
hood, passed along NJ erchant street and
tried the door of the saloon. Everything
was all right then. Half an hour later he
again passed the saloon, and was about to
try the Merchant-street door.
His hand came in contact with a mass
of splinters, where the door had been
broken. SuspecIing that the saloon had
been robbed, the officer, with pistol in one
hand and a match in the other, entered
the building. Overturned beer and whisky
bottles, lying promiscuously upon the
bar, confirmed his suspicious. An open
door led into a small cardroom on the
Sansome-street side of the saloon, and to-
ward this the officer advanced with pistol
still in hand.
Here again evidence of recent whisky
and beer celebration, which must neces-
sarily have been very brief, was to be seen.
The burglars, however, had fled.
After going through the cash register,
which was left unlocked and had been
opened by merely pressing one of the
keys, and extracting from it the sum of
So or 81, the visitors had proceeded to re-
gale themselves with refreshments.
They took away with them five bottles
of whisky, after having emptied the con-
tents of sixth and six or eight boxes of
cigars. The burglars also took away a
nickel-in-the-slot machine.
Strange to say nobody in the neighbor-
hood heard any noise. G. Sancho, who
was working in the American Fish Union
Market, a few doors further up on Mer-
chant street, at the time the robbery was
effected, heard nothing unusual.

Dauca.


The literary entertainment and social
dance of the CALIFORNIAN Club that pre-
cedes the annual gathering and games
took place last night in Scottish Hall.
The hall was packed in every part, and so
enjoyable was the programme that no one
left the hall till the last number was
reached, Notwithstanding the sweltering
heat.
Chief u. R. MCNEIL opened the pro-
gramme with few well-chosen and appro-
pirate remarks, in which he said that the
unusually large attendance augured well
for the success of the annual gathering
and games on Saturday.
The programme consisted of a vocal
Chase; bass solo by B. L. Tarbox; High
land fling, by Master Theo Wilder; vocal
solo, Comm Thro' the Rye" by Miss

due the success of the entertainment, was
composed of John McLaren, w c. Cook

News of the capture of the murderer
Blanther is anxiously looked for at police

no new information to impart. All yester-
day bundles of circulars were mailed con-
taini ng description and photos of the
murderer and a notification of the reward
offere by the Governor
His capture may occur at any moment
as he is too conspicuous a ngure to escape
observation. His money cannot possibly
last much longer, and then he will be in a
trap unless he has succeeded in leaving
the country by steamer.
1t was reported yesterday that Blanther
had left the Texas Pacific train at Sierra
Blanca, station about ninety-five miles
from Ell Paso, and that all trace of him
had been lost. at that point it would

The Manufacturers and Producers AS

the meeting yesterday, when this action
took place. there were present: A. Nc
Laughhn, w. F. Bowers, M. ]. Keller, H.
]. Croker, J. w. Kerr, A. Sbarboro, s. H.

The association found that such a course
was necessary to protect it's mem bers
against the unjust competition of Eastern
convict made goods. These goods are
shipped into the State without any marks
or means of identification from those of
free labor.
There was still another purpose in this
action. Hundreds of people would patron
ize home products in preference to all
others if they could tell which was the To-
cally made article. The trademark adopted
