OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

Because the Spanish Government has
postponed the execution OF the Com
petitor men does not mean. necessar-
ily that it is about to comply With our
request or demand that the men be
heard before a civil tribunal. If the
Spanish press reflects Spanish senti-
ment, that demand will be refused if
the Ministry is at all susceptible to
public sentiment.
The fact that the threat Of Generals
Weyler, Ochando and Ahmuando to re-
sign If the men are retired did not ex-
cite that spirit in Spain that would
indicate that the threat was received
as an offense, as it would have been by
any Government not in sympathy with
the threat. In fact, it was an act of
insubordination and would be ground
for court martial. But we have had no
intimation that the Spanish authori-
ties look uponit in that light
We may assume, therefore, that they
are very far from disposed to comply
with the demand of our Government.
Spain simply recognizes our right to
protest and demand, but she has not
indicated amy disposition to comply.
The truth is that there is much mean
ing in the words of the est James Ga
zette" that the Spanish Ministry has to
choose between compliance with our re-
q
Spanish people are sensitive to a fault.
They are very proud, and they honest
ly believe that in case of war they are
a match for the United States. There
is, therefore, great deal more dam
ger Of an open rupture with Spain than
most Of US think. The Latins are not
at all friendly as a people to any who
trace from the Anglo-Saxons. There
is a natural antipathy in the Latin mind
against all such that goes long way
to stir anger when there is the slight
est cause for it.
We must remember, also, that Cuba
is very dear to Spain. The whole peo-
pie look upon it as a gem of the crown,
and as much a part of the kingdom as
any one Of the home subdivisions
While cruel and unjust to the Cubans.
yet, in national sense, Spaniards are
very proud Of Cuba. Anything, there
fore, looking to interference with it's
ministrations on the island naturally
stlrs the Spanish blood to the heart
Unfortunately, also, the Spanish in
Spain have been taught that the peo-
pie Of the United States hate, or at
least despise them, which, while not
true, finds some warrant for the be-
lief In the expressions of our press and
some of our statesmen during the past
twenty years. The possibility Of a
rupture Of peaceful relations with
Spain are therefore not SO remote as we
could desire

FOUNDING HOME SCANDAL.
An Inquest to be Held i'm the Case OF
Little GLADYS True.

To-day Coroner Clark will hold an
inquest on the body of the infant that
died in the Founding Home the other
day, and whose death DR.. H. N. Haight
declared to have been the result of star
vation
DR.. Haight says he has not changed
his opinion on that point, and he thinks
an investigation will prove the truth OF
his charge. For this purpose Coroner
Clark had the body exhumed last even
ing.
That official says he will have jury
OF doctors examine the case and de-
termine whether or not DR.. Haight S
charge is true.
The statements of the matron of the
home and the nurse who had charge
OF the unfortunate infant have been
published in the Record -Union," and
Il remains to be seen whether these
will be verified by testimony given un-
der oath at the inquest. Apparently
the women made very strong de-
fense, but DR.. Haight seems to think
he can prove that the child received no
food for a day and half before 1t died
The investigation should be thor
ough, for the charge is terrible one,
and If it is true the sooner that can be
demonstrated the better it will be for
the institution and the community.

THE NEW SWEEPER.
1t Was Tested Yesterday and Gives
Promise of Good Work.

Sacramento will, if present indica-
tions are not deceitful, soon have it's
btuminized streets swept in a style to
which they have not been accustomed,
and the residents will rejoice.
The new street sweeping machine
which the city has ON trial was tested
yesterday. The streets had not been
cleaned for several days and the dirt
that had accumulated was packed hard,
but after being sprinkled the machine
was put to work, and Tenth street was
swept cleaner than ever before since
it was constructed, except when a
heavy rain cleaned it.
superintendent Croly continued the
work until late at night, and says he
proposes to do the street sweeping

JAMES BROCKELL.
An Old Californian of Whom Relations
Wish to Hear.

Secretary Luther of the Pioneer So
ciety has received the following letter
from 0. F. Williams, NJ. D., of Madison
vile, O., making inquiry about James
Brockell:
Dear Sir: I am connected by mar
riage with the family of John Brockell
who lives some three miles from this
place. He is now aged and desires tc
see his brother, James Brockell, if he
is living, or hear tidings of him If he
has passed to the beyond.
"As nearly as the CID gentleman can
remember his brother James left this
section in 1852 for New Orleans and re-
turned. He then went to ST. Joseph
Mo-, where he bought mules and went tc
California. He arrived there safe, and
his brother John had letters from him
He owned mule teams and carried pro-
visions to the mines for some time

taxed higher than that of men. If she
said that, which we are charitable
enough to doubt, she stated an un-
truth. But right here be it noted that,
under the laws Of California, special
property advantages are given women.
For instance, a woman can declare a
homestead out Of the separate estate
of her husband, and without his con-
sent, but he cannot file a homestead
claim upon property of his wife's sep
arate estate.
