WARSHiP FOR THE CUBANS.
Report that the Junta Has Bought
thc Howard Cassard.

There is some reason TO believe that
the Cuban Junta, through Senior Palma.
has secured an option on the steamer
Howard Cassard, TO he used rs a war ship
after the United States Government has
recognized the beiligerency of the nsui-
gents.
The vessel is 300 feet long, with 16-foot
beam, and is remarkable for its peculiar
shape.
In the water the steamer has the APP
pcarance Of the blade OF a huge knife, and
her keel resembles the edge of the blade.
The machinery is far below the water
line. In a general way the Cassard is not
unlike the monitor Ncrrimac.

At the opening OF the fifth session OF
the public hearing before the harbol
board yesterday morning Mr.. Moore
requ ,sted the privilege of bringing for
ward several witnesses and asking ques-
tions. This was granted on condition
that both sides were accorded the same
courtesy.
Mr.. Coils Stowell of Long Beach was
called upon, and stated that he has been
a resident of Long Beach ten years. AT
the time the coaling steamer was wreck
ed at San Pedro much coal drifted ur
the coast, and previous to that, when the
dredging was going on at the inner har-
Dor, much of the slime and mud washed
to the inconvenience of the b athers al

loaded on lighters at San Pedro there

We, therefore, pray that congress will

resolution carried that committee
of three be appointed whose duty 1t
shall be to correspond with other fruit
and industrial interests of the Pacific
coast and also of Florida and Louisiana,
to arrange for harmonious action upon
the part of all for the protection of COM
mon interests.
Some time was then devoted to the Sc
lection of an executive committee,
which it was finally decided should con-
sist of seven members, to be chosen by
the chair, one from each of the seven
counties constituting the district of
Southern California. These were ap-
pointed as follows: F. @. Story, Los
Angeles county; e. F. c. Klokke, Or
ange; T. H. B. Chamblin, Riverside; N.
w. Blanchard, Ventura; B. A. Woodford.
E. r. Hollister, Santa Barbara; B. Lud-
low, San Diego. The chairman of the
meeting was also made member Of
this executive committee.
F.. G. Havens was called upon for a
few remarks or the subject of orange
pests, but as it was growing late in the
obliged to catch the train it was decid-
ed to defer the report and take up the
regular order OF business. A resolution
was adopted that Mr.. Havens put his re-
marks in the form of a phamphlet, to be
issued and circulated at the expense Of
the organization.
The question of raising money to de-
frary the expenses of the Washington
delegation was again brought forward
and after an unsuccessful effort to set
tie upon something definite, the whole
matter was referred to the executive
committee with power to act.
A meeting of the executive committee
was called for tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock. The meeting then adjourned

OF incalculable benefit to transconti

He was not informed as to whether
the desire of our citizens would be q
factor in the determination of the prob
lem which the commission is to solve,
but he could confidently say that there
Is practically but one sentiment among
the people who are engaged in active
business enterprises in this community,
and that sentiment is in favor Of San
Pedro.
He asked leave to file a document
that expressed the desire of those whose
opinions are entitled to great considera
ton. The signatures are of those who
comprise practically every commercial
interest in this community. Among these
are representatives of every bank in this
city save one, and that bank had a sat
isiactory reason for not uniting with
the others In this matter. The document

edge of the business of this section of
the country.
Mr.. Patterson said that whatever may
be said by way of theory the common

the only harbor approachable on all
sides is the harbor at San Pedro. 1t may
be approached at right angles, where
other roads can be built across any
road, which may now or hereafter align
the outer harbor frontage. and so reach
the area of the outer harbor.
He insisted that the people of Los
Angeles county believe it would be of
advantage that harbor should be con-
structed at such locality in preference
to one which may be subject to the
control and domination of any corpo-
alton or corporations which may chance
to have the right of way
Mr.. Patterson said he did not believe
that proper harbor for commerce could
be created where the wharves and sur
roundngs are confined to any one cor
poration, whatever MAY be its name
Our people have hoped, he said, that the
government would afford such harbor
upon this coast as will attract to it a
class OF commerce now going to more
southern ports, namely, the commerce
of the Orient. Such a commerce could
find at proper harbor constructed for
Los Angeles two or more lines of rail-
way which would carry 1t to the eastern
states over lines Of easier grades and

to prove the current runs to the east
