PASADENA, JAN ga meeting in the
interest of the board Of trade was held
last evening in the office of Wood &
Church to consider the matter of hold
ing banquet, at which the representa-
tive citizens might be brought together
and interest revived in the board of
trade and the purposes for which it
was organized. President Keyes &C.
cepted the chair. and there were pres
emit Messrs. NJ. L. Wood, 9. D. Daggett,

Abbott, MD, Collin Stewart, A. J. Nc
Claiche, Edwin Stearns, David Heap,
Frank Daggett, J. r. Greer, jr., j. H.
Adams and representatives of the PRESS
After some preliminary discussion a
motion was made and adopted to the
effect that banquet be given at an
early date under the auspices of the
board of trade, and that committee
be appointed by the president to ar
range the details. Those present were
earnest in their expression of the need
of active work on the part of the board
in furthering the city's interests in
many ways.
A committee was appointed as fol-
lows to arrange for banquet which
will probably be held at the Green:
President Keyes, 9. D. Daggett, J. r.
Greer, jr., Colin Stewart, Edwin
Storms, T. P. Lukins, H. r. Hertel, l..
G. Torrance
It will be the purpose of this gather
ing to discuss the ways and means for
the institution of permanent exhibit
that can be enjoyed by tourists and
those interested in the products, ex-
ports and characteristics of our city.
The trouble heretofore has been the
difficulty in securing working quo
rum. 1t is thought that the proposed
banquet will remedy this, but on the

st. Louis. June 15.-The following
statement was given out last night
from Ohio headquarters to show that
duties in n spirit of fairness to all con.
cerned:
An analysis Of the work of the M.
tional committee in regard to the los
contests which We're originally filed
with 1t, shows that 1856 cases were
having been abandoned. while several,
notably those Of Delaware and por.
tion Of the Texas delegation, were re.
ferred to the convention. In many
cnses both contestants and contestees
were understood to be Mckinley men.
notably in all Of the Mississippi and
South Carolina districts and in Ger.
tain districts from Tennessee, Vir.
ginia and elsewhere.
OF the 1856 claimants rejected by the
committee, slxty-two were avowed Nc.
Kinley men. The impression which
prevailed during the consideration OF
these cases In favor of Mckinley
doubtless grew out of the fact that In
nearly all OF the states where there
were large number of contests, both
the contestants and contestees were
avowed Mckinley men. and us a nat
ural result more Mckinley men were
necessarily given seats than were anti
Mckinley men, since In SO many Of the
cases contestants and contestees were
according to their own statements, Nc
Kinley men.

insurgents Succeed In Blowing up the
lFH . Aqueduct.
Havana, June 14.-This city was
startled and alarmed last night at nine
O'Clock by the noise Of two successive
explosions which shook the ground for
a long distance and were heard for
several miles. CONSERVATION prevailed
for time, as 1t was feared this was a
prelude to an attack or n series of sim.
liar explosions. Excited throngs rush.
ed to the streets, while an armed party
proceeded in the direction from which
the detonations had been heard. 1t was
found that the stone bridge of Girls
tina and Concha and the aqueduct OF
Fernando Septimo were the points that
had suffered from the dynamite. The
bridges were partially destroyed, and
the pipes on the aqueduct, upon which
the city is dependent for its water sup
ply, were much damaged. 1t cannot
yet be stated how extensive is the dam
age done, or how long 1t will require
to remedy it.
The windows in many houses In the
city were shattered by the reverberl-
tions of the explosions, and some mar
ket structures were also badly dam
aged.
There is not doubt left that the dyna-
mite which caused this wreck was
placed by agents of the insurgents. 1t
had been their determination, an-
nounced some time since, to cut of the
water supply of Havana and SO serve
to make 1t as nearly uninhabitable us
possible.
The greater apprehension is felt OIL
account of the secrecy and effectiveness
with which the insurgents have been
able to carry out the outrage. Last
night was spent In fear and dread of
immediate danger. These fears were
largely dispelled by the return Of day
light.
