ARMY NEWS.


When the paragraph in the
army appropriation bill was
reached by the house, relating to
the pay Of enlisted men, Congress
man Bowers, of California, moved
the following amendment: "And
provided, further, that no part Of
said sums for pay of officers or en-
listed men shall be paid to them,
if they are employed in guarding
or policing forest reservations or
national parks" Congressman
Brown wants to have special
agents or deputy marshals to do
this park work. The amendment
was stricken out.
A board of officers has been
directed to hold preliminary ex-
aminations at Fort Logan, for en-
listed men wishing to compete for
commission.

FROM JEAN LENERT
A Letter Explaining About the Property He
Rents

Letter Explaining About the Property He
Rents
THE HERALD has received the following
from Jean Lenert:
EDITOR HERALD: In reference to your
issue of March 30th, | respectfully ask you
to rectify an injustice you have done me in
your article headed A Grinding and Sinful
Monopoly. You quote me as having seven
cribs, which is correct. You alao further
state that represent and control the west
side of Alameda street. You state that two
men have the full control on Alameda
street, naming me as one of them. The
facts are these:
leased this property from Theodore
and Mrs. Baur for the term of five years,
paying them the sum of $500 month for
the bare ground rent. 1 Ihave expended on
that property about $4,000. I have car
ried on the saloon business in this city for
number of years and at all times con-
Quoted it in an orderly and quiet manner.
As far as controlling the west side of Ala
media street. absolutely deny the least
control or the ownership of any other
property outside of that lease from Theo-
of my position l will be glad to let him
have it for one third of what | have in
vested in said premises.
JEAN LENERT.
The only response THE HERALD has to
MAKE to the foregoing is that if Jean
Lenert assumes that it has asserted or
meant to convey the impression that he
controlled the entire west side of Alameda
street he is mistaken. The diagram &C.
companying the article, "a Grinding and
Sinful Monopoly" published in Mondays
issue of THE HERALD. plainly designated
the ground controlled by Jean Lenert. The
ground designated is the same that Lenert
admits renting at the price of 1920 per
month, which is only about five times as
much as the same property would bring
for ordinary legitimate business purposes.

up from the American people If they could
be told that an attempt had seriously been
made by the insurgents to take Havana. or
by the Spanish troops to take the insur-
gents. There are two ways of ending a
war-quitting or fighting it out. The par
ties to the Cuban conflict should adopt one
or the other. This business of dodaing
each other on the island and Safeguarding
each other in the United States. makes the
people of these latter feel tagged out. Be-

Cuba, hostilities might cease in our senate.

STURDY old John NJ. Palmer is a grateful

about Cuba, he said:

struggling Cubans, but practically it is no!

PEACE cometh again to the sun-kissed
land of Arizona. "Pin-head'' Hughes will,
after few days, cease to be governor of
the territory. The ceaseless warfare kept
up against him has been effective and he
has either resigned or been removed. At
any rate the president has appointed his
successor in the person of Hon. B. j..
franklin, who resided for brief time in
Los Angeles few years since. The new
appointee is gentleman of high character
and distinguished ability. 1t is doubtful if
the president could have made better
selection. THE HERALD hopes that under
her new executive Arizona will continue
her march on the highway of progress, and
that with the incoming administration the
harmony that for some reason seemed
lacking during that of Governor Hughes,
will be fully restored.

The flames originated from burning punk

were of flimsy and inflammable charac-

of the fire department prevented the fire

world. This matter, it will be remem-
bered was, on account of Hoods false tele
gram to the senate committee criticising
the holding ground at San Pedro, investi-
gated and proof offered upon it before the
board of engineers of 1892, when they
held their meeting at the chamber of COM
merce in this city, and on page Is of their
report the board says: ''Some doubts have
been expressed with regard to the charac-
ter of the holding ground at San Pedro, but
after intelligent inquiries the board is sat-
isfied that it is as good in this location as
in the Others" Again. attention is called
to the fact that this is the testimonyof five
eminent and disinterested experts and
known to the government as opposed to
that of the hired engineer who could err
more than 40 per cent in the statement of
distance of a little over twenty miles.
For the information of our congressman,
who may desire later to controvert the
statement of Mr.. Corthell, it can be stated
that in addition to the afiidavits of ship
captains referred to, he will find attached
to the report of the board of engineers of
1892, stenographic report of the testi-
mony which that board received from wit
nesses before it upon this question of the
holding ground. Can it be possible that
representatives of the people will be silent
and permit the rights of their constituents
10 be stolen by conscienceless monopoly
through the effect of such falsehoods as
the foregoing, when the most absolute
proof for the contradiction of these lies is
in their possession? THE HERALD trusts
that when this controversy is ended it shall
not find it necessary to report such neg
lect of duty of any one of our representa-
tives in Washington.
