SACRAMENTO'S CHIEF.

Supreme Court Decision Concerning a
Salary for Police Position.
The Supreme Court has decided the case of
Warren F. Drew against John B. Rodgers, in
voIving the office of Chief OF Police of Sacra-
mento. The decision was that ''there is no
error in the record available TO defendant and
the order appealed from should be confirmed" !"
Drew was elected Chief of Police for Sacra-
men 10 tor a term of two years, from April 1 d.
1890, under the law which provided that in
case OF vacancy the City Trustees might fill
by appoin until the next election. At
the city election of March, 1892. Rodgers
received the majority of votes, and the can
vassing board declared him elec ed, but on
June IL, 1892, he WAS adjudged to be in
eligible by reason OF alienage. He appealed
and the judgment was affirmed by the Supreme
Court In December, 1898.
In Ap il, 1892, Rodgers had forcibly dispos-
sessed Drew of the Office. and having subse-
Quently been natu allzed. the City Trustees
III June, 1892, made him Chief until the next
city election, and al the city election of 1893
he was again ected by the voters aud was
duly dec. ared Chief of Police The new char
ter of Sacramento went into operation in Jam
uary, 1894, and the Office of Chief of Police
was made appointive instead of elective. The
Supreme Court opinion in part is as follows:
THE judgment is not in form appropriate to
the state OF the case at the time of the tri al
the office having been abolished, but il cannot
be corrected on this appeal, VIII ch is for an or
der denying motion for new trial only"

Extraordinary Precautions to Be
Taken Against the Spread of
Disease.

The Board of Health took occasion to
congratulate itself on its administration
at a meeting held yesterday, and not only
to tell hat it had done in the past, but
what it intended to do in the future.
Before getting down to throwing bou-
quets at itself the board took occasion to
ployes that have been contemplated for
some time.
The position of Inspector A. T. Patton,
who declined to resign, was declared va
cant, and P. L. Long was appointed to the
vacancy.
The resignation of Inspector G.. w. Stout
was accepted, and A. 2. Donovan was
chosen TO fill the place. The new positions
of assistant food inspectors recently Gre
ated and provided for by the increased
appropriation granted by the Board of
Supervisors, were filed by the followin !:
Harry O'Donnell, 7. McEroy, J. Lahaney,
p. kessam, r. H. Lyons and X. A by.
Each viii receive salary of SIS month.
a t. Taylor and II. w. Davis were ap-
pointed outside assistant food inspectors
at salaries OF $75 mon tn each.
The annual report to Mayor Sutro, as
president of the board, was then read by
Secretary Godchaux. After reviewing to
SOme extent the history OF previous aQ-
ministrations, the efforts of the present
body we're taken up and the why and the
wherefore of its success dllated on. It's
success ul effort to procure an increase of
the $500 annual appropriation, with
which previous boards had been satisfied,
was described at length, and the fact that
it had succeeded in getting an appropria-
tion OF $65, 000 proudly pointed out.
The fight ainst filth and unsanitary
buildings in Chinatown was also treated
at some length and the great benefits de-
rived from the destruction of the old
structures called to notice.
After showing the great advantage of
the food-lnspection stations that are to be
established the report concludes:
This warfare against disease will be
carried still further and with more ag-
gressiveness than before. The efforts Of
the board will include the recommenda-
tion of the adoption an ordinance pro-
hlblting, under penalty of arreet, the
habit OF lndlscrim mate expectoration in
streets and other public places, as we'll a

comparison with Tuberculosis, deserve but
fraction of consldera ion."
The contract for building a new ambu-
lance was awarded to O'Brien e. Sons for
$3.50.

Gomez is moving Havanaward and 1t Is
rumored that he and MaceO will soon
make a concerted attack on Havana.
This increases the general alarm and
distrust in the city, and Weyler's palace
is besieged with throngs after informa'
ton, of which very little is vouchsafed
the public. The governor general con-
tents himself with general hints and
statements of what he will do after
Christmas. A rumor prevails, at Ha-
yana that some of Maceo's forces have
met a portion Of Weyler's forces at
Maryland, and that the Spanish loss Is
heavy. 1t cannot be confirmed.
Sounds of shell firing or dynamiting
were heard eastward of the city, sup
posedly caused by guerilla warfare.

words assures them and the friends Of
Cuba throughout the country that his
gallant band is safe and able for q time
at least to take rare of itself, no matter
what the Spaniards may do. The mes
sage is directed to the New York Junta
and was dated at the rebel army camp
neal Las POZas, on the northern coast
at the farthest western end of the Rubi
chain of mountains, along which are
the several camps and strongholds of
MaceO's forces.
Was Welcome News.
Cubans in this city are especially
elated over the receipt of the message,
for they were fearful of the position
occupied by the Cuban forces during
the past month or six weeks.
The carrier of the message was q wit

was first reported as a great Spanish
victory and later as n drawn battle.

Spanish Premier Says Weyler's Recall Has
Not Been Contemplated.

Spanish Premier Says Weyler's Recall Has
Not Been Contemplated.
MADRID. Nov. ~. The premier,
Senior Canovas del Castillo. was >ques-
toned on the subject of the contradic-
tory reports circulated as a result of an
unexpected return of the captain gem
eral of Cuba, General Weyler, to Ha-
vana from Pinar del Rio. where he had
been personally conducting the opera
lions of the Spanish troops against the
insurgents under Antonio Maceo. The
Spanish premier said in substance that
there was nc truth in the report that
General Weyler had been recalled, and
it was equally untrue that his recall
was contemplated. On the contrary,
he added, the government had given
General Weyler u free hand in the task
of suppressing the instruction and the
ministers had confidence hat he would
be successful.
