A BRITISH CONSUL INSULTED
Policemen Try to Force Him to Haul
Down the Union Jack.

LOS ANGELES, July 14.-Something
Of a sensation was created here to-day
when lit was learned that her Britannia
Majesty's Vice-Consul Mortimer had
been insulted on independence Day by
minfons of the law, and had complained
bitterly of the insult in a caustic letter
addressed to Mayor RAIDER on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Mortimer states that on the 4th
inst, shortly before the procession
passed his office, three policemen, ac-
companied by ten or twelve other per-
SONS, called at his office and requested
him to haul down the British flag, or to
hoist the American flag with it. Upon
his declining to do So they intimated
that they would pull it down, stating
that the procession would soon arrive
and that If the flag were allowed to re-
main as it was there would be a riot
He warned them not to do this, and
they then said they would telephone to
the Chief of Police for instructions.
Chief Glass said that the officers We're
Messrs. Mclean, Reynolds and Baker;
that their action was wholly unauthor-
ized, and that it was the most fragrant
display of ignorance he ever heard Of
The offending officers have been notified
to appear before the Police Commission
ers on Tuesday next and offer an ex-
PLANTATION for their action.

WHIT TIER SCHOOL CRUELTIES
Mrs. NitcheIl Denies That the Charges
of Brutality Are Groundless.

LOS ANGELES, July 14.-Mrs. Adina
Mitchell, at whose request the hives
tigation of the Whittier Reform School
was ordered by Governor Budd, indig-
nantly resents the statement of Trus-
tee Patterson that the charges of bru-
tally to inmates were groundless and in
spired by malice.
Il deprecate any publicity in this
matter for two reasons: First the inves-
tigation and taking of testimony is not
yet complete; and, second, because of
having regarded our duties as more or
less confidential, owing to its relations
to Governor Budd, who authorized the
investigation" said the lady, Il would
prefer not to talk about the matter"
Mrs. Mitchell displayed two tele-
grams, one sent by her to Governor
Budd on June Both last, informing the
Governor that Rhoda Webb, a young
girl confined in the institution, had at
tepted suicide, and asking for an in
vestigation. The other message was
the reply of the Governor, saying that
the matter would be promptly looked
into, and calling a meeting of the board.
Mrs. Mitchell announces her deter
mination of fully investigating the
cruelties practiced at the reform school,
and promises abundant evidence in sup
port of her charges.

turned out SO in coin. The robber

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14-An at
tempt was made to assassinate Carlos
Ezeta, ex-President Of San Salvador, in
the dining-room of his hotel this after
noon.
The ex-President was seated at a
table with a few of his friends, when
Pedro Jiminez, a native of Salvador,
entered the room. The intruder walked
directly to Ezeta's chair, and as the
latter faced about Jiminez spat in his
face. The ex-President sprang to his
feet to resent the insult when Jiminez
drew pistol and leveled it at Ezeta's
breast.
The former dictator of Salvador re-
tanned his presence of mind, and seizing
chair he held it over Jiminez's head
and dared him to fire In another
moment the would-be assassin was dis
armed by Ezetas friends and hurried
from the room. Later he was turned
over to the authorities and taken to the
city prison. There he gave his name
as Pedro Jiminez, and stated that he was
formerly District Attorney of Salvador
under EZeta's Administered ton. While
acting in that capacity he incurred the
displeasure of the dictator, who put him
to torture.

menace to the Salvadorian Government,

ABSOLUTELY PURE

dispatch received from Pescadero at
$50 o'clock p. m. states that the Column
bias passengers, sixty-two in number,
and her crew of ninety had all been
safely LANDED without incident. The
vessel is pounding heavily on the rocks
and will in all probability be total
wreck. She has on board a mixed
cargo, the value of which cannot be
ascertained until the bills of lading ar
rive.
The j. S. Kimball Company dis
patched no less than four vessels of their
line tonight to the assistance of the
Colombia. The bullion and mails will
surely be saved, and it is hoped that a
large portion of the cargo bmay be
jettisoned before the vessel breaks up.
Up to a late hour tonight there was
constant pilgrimage of curiosity seek
ers and anxious relatives and friends OF
the Colombia's passengers to the Pacific
Mail docks to await the arrival of any
vessel from the scene of the wreck
They maintained their vigil with per-
severance, though with Impotence.
THE VESSEL IN A BAD WAY.
SANTA CRUZ, July 14-Meager de-
tails of the Pacific Mail steamer Colon
bia reached this city tonight when the
Pescadero stage arrived. The proprie-
tor of the stage line, j. Harvey, states
that before he left PeScadero the pas
sengers and crew of the Colombia had
been safely landed without mishap, and
that the steamship was pounding heav-
lily on the rocks. There was little or no
hope of getting her off, as her bottom
had been hard struck and was badly
punctured in several places, the water
tight compartments alone preventing
her from sinking She went ON the rocks
under a full head of steam, and with
such speed and force that she is likely
to stay there until she goes to pieces.
The passenger and crew were at no time
in danger, and they were landed with
out difficulty.
Mr.. Harvey was informed that the
Colombia carried a half million dollars
in specie. From his own observations,
and from the talk he had with MEM
bers of the crew, he Thought the chances
were good for saving everything ex-
cept the steamship itself.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE Pa
cific mail steamship Colombia, from
Panama and way ports, and due mere
tomorrow, is ashore at Pigeon Point,
which is just below Pescadero. A dis
patch received at 10 o'clock said there
was mo immediate danger"
The first news of the grounding OF
the Colombia was received at the local
office of the Pacific Mail Company just
before noon. The information was very
brief, and gave no particulars of the
accident. 1t simply said that the steam
ship had gone aground, but was in no
danger.
A few hours later another dispatch
was received from the Captain of the
Colombia, William Clark, saying that
the steamship grounded at o'clock.
The weather he telegraphed, was very
thick, and the bearings were lost in the
fog.
The Colombia was nearer shore than
could be altered. Those on board could
hear the rocks scraping her keel. In an
instant all was confusion ON board the
Colombia The sixty passengers were
just turning out when the steamer ran

aged to quiet the passengers and started
to work the steamship from her peril
Gus position Sh held fast on the rocks,
and could not be moved I'm spite of all
the efforts. To add to the alarm, it
was soon found that one compartment
was filling with water.
The surf was too heavy to land the
passengers at the point, where the
waves dashed over the Jagged rocks.
A few minutes after the accident a
boats crew was landed and a messen-
ger was sent to Pescadero, when the
telegram came to this city.
AS soon as the news of the steamships
position was received here, the tugs
Active and Reliance were dispatched to
her assistance.
Pigeon Point, where the Colombia is
ashore, is in San Mateo County, and
only about forty miles from this city.
The point is a comparatively low,
rocky projection, rising abruptly about
fifty feet above the sea, with low neck
of half that elevation inside the point.
Behind it rises the ridge of mountains
of the peninsula of San Francisco, and
at the bend of the land to the eastward
and about 80 yards northeast of the
light Is a small boat landing which is
available only in good weather.
There have been several wrecks on
this point before, and it is known as one
of the worst bits of coast on the Cali
fornia line. The steamer Los Angeles
was wrecked on the point about a year
ago In a fog. Several attempts were
made to get her off. A jagged rock was
sticking through the hull, and it was
impossible to move her.
The Columbia is a new ship and is one
of the latest additions to the Pacific
fleet of the Mail Company She was
built in Chester, Pa, in 1892 and is of
3,616 tons burden Her dimensions
81 length, 10 feet beam and 10 feet
