For a time the free silver agitators in

over the alleged refusal of Sioux City whole
salers to furnish their Bon Homme county
customers with sugar unless it was paid
for in advance with gold. The free silver

had been unable to purchase sugar unless
paid for in gold, and alleged that in conse-

PROTEST OF NEWCAS TIE.
Passage of the Funding Bill
! Would Be Disastrous to
the State.
Text of the Resolutions Unanimously
Adopted at the Citizens Mass.
Meeting.

NEWCASTLE, CAL, Jan. 1S.-Secretary
+. katzenstein, of the mass-meeting held
on Thursday TO protest against the pas
sage by Congress of the funding bill, has
forwarded the resolutions that were
adopted. Against their passage there was
not dissenting vote, and the fact that
such large mum Der of citizens responded
to the call for the meeting by the Mayors
of San Francisco, Oakland, Stockton and
Sacramento illustrates the feeling here as
regards the endeayor of the Huntington
company to evade payment of its in
debtedness to the Government A. J.
Shellhammer, editor of the News, was
chairman of the gathering. The resoIu-
tions follow:
WHEREAS, It appears that the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific railroad companies are
making an attempt to pass q bill through the
Congress of the United States extending the
| time for paying the debt, amounting to nearly
come due from said railroad companies to
| the United States; and whereas, we, the citi-
Zens of Newcastle, believe that the ultimate
effect of such extension would be to compel the
people of the Pacific Coast to pay such debt
and interest through increased rates on
freight ana fares, thus working great hard
try; and whereas, Judging by acts of said rail-
rodd companies in the past, we have reason to
pelleEe mat although salu ra1lroad companies
would collect such increased freightS and
fares, we do not believe they would ever fully
pay such debt due the Government; therefore
be il
ResOlUed, That we, the people of Newcastle
in mass-meeting assem- bled, most sincerely
protest against any further extension of time
10 said railroad companies, and ask that the
Government proceed at once TO collect such
debt by assuming all debts of said companies
that are secured by prior lien on the property
OF said companies, and by taking immediate
possession OF same and operating in the inter-
ests of the Government.

designations at the Asylum Said
to Have Been Secured by
Duplicity.
PROVIDING FOR A BROTHER.
Stories That Conflict With That Told
by the Stockton Man in an
Interview.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 1s.-The publica
ton in the Examiner of the 18th inst. of
report from Stockton giving an interview
with Frank Gould, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, concern
ing the reported appointment of his
brother to an Office at Agnews Asylum
Gould being a director of the institution,
has occasioned no little criticism in San
Jose and gives promise of row in the
Democratic camp. In an interview, Gould
Is reported to have said:
My brother has not been appointed to a
position at Agnews, though he is an applicant
for place of some kind. There will be no
vacancies at the asylum until the first of next
month, when two designations will take effect,
that of the matron and that of the medical
directors secretary. The appointment in the
latter case lies with the medical director or
superintendent of the institution, and 1 would
not presume to dictate in the least as to his
personal appointments, and such 1 concede
the appointment of his secretary must be con-
sidered.
GOuld's statement does not accord with
the story of the affair as told in San Jose.
This story is that the resignation of the
Medical Directors secretary was requested
by the board at the last meeting, and was
at first refused. Gould then went to the
secretary and promised if he would resign
to see that he was appointed to another
office in the asylum. Under this com bina-
ton of pressure and promise the secretary
resigned, and probably similar tactics were
employed IN obtaining the resignation of
the matron.
The designations were accepted by the
Hod IN -
DIR. Hatch to fill the vacancies. This plan
to shift the responsibility of the appoint
ments was cleverly devised. but Gould
spoiled it so far as he was concerned be-
fore leaving the asylum by going to DR..
Hatch, Medical Director, and giving HIM
instructions to notify Gould's brother to
report at the asylum at an early date, so
that the present secretary could instruct
him in the duties of the office.
Under the circumstances Gould's state
ment, ''I would not presume to dictate
in the least as to his (the Medical Direct
or's) personal appointments, is peculiar.
The case is all the more interesting as the
secretary whose official head has been thus
summarily chopped off to make a place
for Gould's brother is not only thoroughly
competent man, but is a lifelong Demo-
crat, so that Gould cannot even claim that
in removing him he was fulfilling his
pledge to the party.
AS the matter stands, Gould has the in
side. but the dismissed official has a host
of friends among local Democrats, in the
order of Native Sons and among business
men generally, and as a result there are
signs and symptoms of war in the Demo-
cratic camp.

DURHAM FARMS FLOODED
Southern Pacific Force Saves a
Bridge at the Expense

Debris Dislodged by a Blast, Which

Upon the Land.

CHICO, CAL, Jan. 18.-Farmers in the
vicinity of Durham are enraged at the
action of a force OF Southern Pacific en-
ployes, which has resulted in inca lculable
damage to their growing crops. BY blast
in Butte Greek, to remove debris lodged
against bridge, an overflow OF the levees
was caused, and the fields on NUM- Der of
ranches were inundated. In addition to
the probable destruction OF crops, build

as though cannon9ding was in process.
The reports were heard in Chico, and even
at this distance a trem bling of the earth
could be distinctly felt. Window-panes
ratified, and the disturbed sleepers thought
they had been aroused by an earthquake.
1t appears that the piers under the rail-
road bridge over Butte Creek are too close
together and will not aliow~of the free
passage of debris carried down bv the high
waters. As consequence, large lot of
logs and drift gathered under the bridge
and it is supposed that after the rain last
night the railroad force which has been
putting in new piles went to the bridge
and with blasts dislodged the debris.
Butte Creek being up to the banks, the
immense volume of water and debris
rushed down the creek, breaking over the
levee and inundating the sown lands OF
the farmers. There was no livestock at
the time on the lands; if there had been
they would all have been swept down the
creek.
The farmers are all angered at the rail-
road company for saving its bridge at the
expense of considerable of their property.
The loss on the Pratt, the Michels and the
Rice ranches will be quite arge-to what
extent it is not known at the present writ
ing.

sembles Hall of Pasadena in every par
ticular, and despite his vigorous denials it
is believed here that he is Hall and has
attempted for some reason to hide his
identity. He refused at first to talk, but
afterward told wild tale OF the sea, de-
scribing in detail how Captain Hall was
drowned, and giving his adventures at the
WI ok of the Claretta and his sufferings at
Resale. He gave the name of William
Harvey and said he was relative of Cap

The schooner had hardly come TO anchor
before Harvey made his way up town and
disappeared. The mining men who put
up money for the expedition on the Clar-
eta are looking for Hall, and this is sup
posed to be the reason for the secrecy and
mystery surrounding the case. The crew

half crazy when first found, but his reason
returned after several days of care and

Roberts Smith have arranged with the au-
thorlties here and with Mr.. Pasmore, the
well-known musical instructor and COM
poser, for department in musical train
ing at Stanford. Students will be given
credit for their work in music, which
credit will count toward graduation. The
work will consist of voice training, and a
small fee will be charged those who join
the classes.
Julius Frankenheimer 90, and H. D..
Briggs '96, the gentlemen who managed
and edited the 80 Annual of last year. are
the recipients of deserved praise The re-
ceipts from tl-eir Annual exceeded e1-
penditure by 5000, and, while the gentle
men were entitled to all the profits, they
determined to turn this sum over to the
class. The seniors, not to be outdone in
magnanimity, agreed to turn the amount
over to the Hildebrand Library fund, and
this was done.
The affair is unusual all around first,
in that any profit was made from the
Annual; second, that the managers were
so liberal, and third, that class spirit
should so generously give way to uni
versity sentiment as to devote its entire
exchequer to university enterprise.

attempts Of Gomez to Return to the
Eastward.
HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. 18.-It is reported
here that the forces under Gomez have
made a supreme effort to cross the dead
line near Batahano and are now near
Guara and Moena, as they find it very
dangerous to remain IN Pinar del Rio, and
are trying to go back eastward.
The prospect of lack of horses and am
munition scared them; besides, through
the capture of the important leader, Ceperl,
lieutenant to Rego, it has been learned
that Rego was wounded at Nal TEMPO
and that there is discord among the insur-
gent leaders in Las Villas, and to this is
also attributed the determination of Max
imo Gomez to retreat eastward.
1t is said that Gomez is very much dis
satisfied to find that the people in Pinar
del Rio have not aided him, and he finds
himself short of ammunition.
In Las Villas the leader, ROGUE Rodri-
guez, has been killed.
He was Maxine Gomez most trusted
guide and scout, and one of the most ter
rible of the incendiaries in that district.
The requisitio n of horses in Las Villas is
progressing favorably. The Government
has now bout 1000 horses there.
From Spain ten squadrons of cavalry
are expected soon and also 200 more
troops during February.
General Marin officially received the Of
fcers of the army, navy and prominent
citizens in the palace to-day. General
Campos was present most of the time. The
change caused less excitement than was
expected.
Merchants, planters, Spanish residents
and others loyal to Spain are satisfied that
effective measures will now be taken, The
Cuban sympathiZers with the rebellion
fear the return of the bloody practices of
the last war. Polavieja, the new captain
general, has a record for severity and
Pandos is similar. Marin is regarded as
humane.
The Cubans regret the departure of
Campos. His campaign was most humane.
He would not coniscate property and
granted amnesty upon the surrender of
the rebels. He treated suspects leniently,
especially Americans. The retirement of
Campos is the result of agitation among
the merchants of the produce exchange
The Cubans say the removal of Campos,
SPANS ablest general, is a great victory,
and will convince the world that a gem
uine revolution is in progress. They hope
it will aid in obtaining recognition for the
belligerents at Washington.

Making a Fight for

ENGLAND MAY TAKE a HAND.
Could Block Ports and Force Collection
of the Loans to the
Spanish.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 1S.-Hon. Don.
NJ. Dickinson delivered an address on
"Cuba" before the Detroit Manufacturers
Club at the Chamber of Commerce Hall
tonight. The audience was q represent
alive gathering OF business men of the
city.
Mr.. Dickinson's remarks were received
with wild enthusiasm. He said if there
ever was a cause that appeals to the heart
and soul of every liberty-loving man,
woman and child, that cause was Cuba S.
The time has come for every manufacture
ing concern to take up the Cuban question
and press it on Congress as matter OF
business. Complications may arise at any
time. England believes that in Cuba is
her only security for the payment of Span
ish loans, and almost any day the English
fleet in spite OF the Monroe doctrine, may
take possession OF every Cuban port and
force the collection of this money.
Time has come for action, he declared,
and inacton is crime against our own
people. He sketched the history of Cuba
and explained the causes which led to the
present revolution. Mr.. Dickinson pointed
out the advantages in a commercial way
which would accrue to the United States
if Cuba achieves her independence, and
Cuba is going to win, )" he declared.
We were not to be overawed by England 8
mobilization of her fleet. Her action
might scare the German Emperor and the
ruler of the Transvaal, but if we had not
a ship or a coast defense she could not
scare us. England has had her eye on
Cuba since 1910, and he believes that Lord
Salisbury mad nothing else in view in the
Venezuelan boundary dispute than TO es-
tablish the precedent that the Monroe doc
trine did not obtain, and thus get pos.
session of Cuba.
Resolutions were adopted calling for the
immediate attention and cons Iteration on
the part OF Congress to the Cuban cues
ton, declaring that any delay on the part
OF our Government in according belligerent
rights is a positive wrong morally and
legally and that it is the duty of the
United States Government to fOrestall the
action of any other commercial nation IN
earning the obligation of the new republic.
