DAGCETT'S MINT
AND HIS MINE.
Both Worked Together for
the Superintendent's
Good.
QUEER METHODS USED
Robert Barnett, Formerly Chief
Clerk of the Mint, Has
His Say.
REASONS FOR HIS DISMISSAL.
Dec ares Daggett Wished to Compel
Him to Sell His Santa Rosalia
Stock.
REASONS FOR HIS DISMISSAL.

Superintendent Daggett of the Mint is
again in trouble in connection with his
Sonora mine. Several months ago, it will
be remembered, when Congressman Ma
guire made his charges against Daggett,
the Santa Rosalia mine Inquired promi-
nently, but the matter soon blew over and
Daggett was more or less vindicated.
Additional charges have been made by
Robert Barnett, who was formerly chief
clerk of the Mint, from which position he
was discharged only few weeks ago. At
the time of MS discharge neither Superin-
tendent Daggett nor Mr.. Barnett had
much to say. Now, however, Mr.. Barnett
has made and forwarded to Washington
an affidavit which contains many inter-
esting revelations concerning methods en-
ployed at the Mint.
According to Barnett's affidavit, when
the Santa Rosalia Mining Company was
formed he was made secretary OF the COM
pany, and, in consideration of having
formed the corporation and of serving
twelve months as secretary without pay,
he received II, 900 of the 100000 shares OF
stock.
The mine became more and more valu-
able, and Superintendent Daggett began to
stock as he could. He persuaded Barnett
to turn over to him $500 shares. in consid-
Grafton of Daggett having assisted in the
! formation OF the corporation and lending
his name to the enterprise. Then, it is
averred, he bought 1000 shares from George
| f. Beveridge, although he had told Bar
nett that he did not wish to buy any OF the
! stock.
As the value of the Santa Rosalia stock
advanced, Daggett became still more anx-
ious to buy up as much of 1t as possible.
| Under pretense of wishing not to have
the Mint mixed up in the Sonora-mine
business. Daggett persuaded Barnett to re-
sign as secretary OF the company, although
! when the election OF officers was held,
Mint officers were elected to the positions
of president, vice-president and superin-
/ tendent OF the mine.

HARMONY NOW ASSURED.
Alameda Republicans Have Come to an
Amicabie Agreement.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
90S Broadway June 3.

+ OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
9OS Broadway, June 3.
Harmony is now assured in the Repub-
lican ranks of Alameda. From o'clock
last night till after o'clock this morning
the two factions of the Republican party
we're engaged in coming to an agree
ment.
The new Third Congressional Commit
tee met last night and considered the
proposition made by the old committee
last week.
The meeting was very lively at times
and it was very evident that few mem
bers of the new committee were deter
mined not to yield anything for the pur-
pose of harmony, but were determined to
stand upon the rights they won at Sacra-
mento and yield nothing. The majority,
however, prevailed ana toward midnight
each of the existing differences was dis
posed of with two exceptions.
w. r. Davis was the leading champion
of harmony, and his suggestions generally
prevailed. There will not be two prim-
aries, and there is no danger of there being
two district conventions.
The appointment of election officers was
adjusted amicably. and this having been
done the main contention arose over the
place for holding the convention.
The argument on this point was long
and lasted till after midnight. At that
hour w R. Davis went to consult with
George de Cola, who is representing the
old committee.
The consultation lasted over half an
hour, and when he returned he reported
that the two remaining differences would
be settled finally next Wednesday night
The other point still in dispute is the
number of polling-places that shall be
ordered. This will be based upon the vote
for Estee, though just how has not yet
been decided.
The call for the primaries will probably
be issued by the new committee and will
embody all the concessions made by and
to the old committee.
The primaries Will be held on August Il
and the convention on August %. The
meeting adjourned at 80 this morning.

wish the Cubans would afford us
better evidence that, in desiring to
control their government entire
ly independent of Spain, they are un-
dertaking task to which they are
equal.
In the meantime, the vandal like
destruction Of property in the island
on both sides is to be deplored to an
extent that it would be difficult to
exaggerate. President Cleveland
struck the keynote here in his mess
age, which is eminently wise, just and
reasonable in its treatment of Cuban
affairs. The case as it attracts the
attention of the civilized world, and
appropriately most of all that Of
our own country, must come first OF
all to crisis here. Cuba presents
itself to our people as land in which
there is struggle for liberty. There
are more instances among her pat
riots to render it doubtful ii they are
fitted Tor liberty without conditions
than it is agreeable to recognize, but
the war there's a war Of inhumauity
and devastation, and it is becoming
worse rather than better in this re-
spect. Unless there shall be some
radical change the time is not far off
when some powerful civilized nation
should rise in protest against this
state of affairs, and no nation could
more appropriately take the lead in
so doing than the United States of

From Cuba.

Let us look at the reported intelli'
gence from Cuba OF the few days just
past calmly, and in a reasonable
spirit. First, we had the news of
the death OF Gen. Maceo, which came
from Spanish hands. The insurgents
were heard from simultaneously, and
they denied the truth OF the story.
According to them, Maceo was liv-
ing, and the tale OF his death was a
canard So the case rested in the
public mind for three or four DAYS.
At the end of that time it began to
appear that Maceo was really dead
and that it would be impossible to
conceal the fact from the public
longer. Then there is a new pro.
gramme. The death is admitted,
and tale OF treacherv in The circum-
stances attending it is sent out from
the island. This may be true, but it
is clearly not to be received as verify
without investigation. The contra
diction above will not tail to be
noted. We are first told that Maceo
is still living; then the falsity of the
statement is admitted, and an ac-
count of his death under revolving
circumstances is substituted. How
ever much we may regret the now
ackno wledged loss, however great
may be our sympathy with the side
that has sustained it, that side has
forfeited all claim to confidence on
our part in the unsupported intelli-
gence it sends us.
This deception is not to be excused
on the ground Of mistakes made.
The alleged Spanish per6dy was of
nature to awaken Indignation and
horror. 1t is fair to suppose that
there would inevitably have been an
outbreak of this If the charge against
the Spanish general were we'll
founded, There being nothing spon-
taneous OF this character, not even a
recognition of the loss of Maceo to
the Cuban cause, the charge looks
too much like A Cuban after thought
to bring odium upon their opponents.
The sympathies of the people of the
United States are Whelminglv
with the Cubans in rebellion. Ga all
hands there is recognition that the
Cubans have been an oppressed and
an agrieved people. We fervently
hope for their success in the conflict
in which they are engaged, even
while we have misgivings as to their
power to furnish an intelligent and
a stable government for themselves.
We must do this while we bear in
mind the wrongs they have had at
the hands of their Spanish rulers.
We cannot contemplate with com
placency the restoration of Spanish
rule there we must regard such an
issue of the contest with adherence.
The instinct OF patriotism for the
island on the part of its Inhabitants
and the fort to obtain self govern
ment are alike in accord with Amer-
