THE revolutionists of Cuba are
having a full share of ups and

exceedingly, for the patriots. Spain
is straining every nerve to throttle
the insurgents. She has relieved a

itary agent man who announces
that after a fortnight of chance to
repent every rebel caught will be
promptly killed. More than this,
the mother country has supplied
the new men with all additional
force and plenty of money in the
shape of an expansive currency.

Governor Morton of New York is

Fire Company of West Berkeley held an
indignation meeting last night, as re-
suit of their recent trouble with the Town
Trustees, and for while it looked very
much as though he club would disband.
The trouble arose, as told in Tuesday
CALL, over the refusal of the Town Board
to honor Dill of 81 for supplies which
had been countersigned by Foreman Bork-
helm. The board refused to honor the bill
at its last meeting, and the next morning
Borkheim resigned.
After considering the question OF dis
banding last night the company drew up
a list of equi age needed by them and
decided to request the Trustees to pur-
chase the same. Members OF the COM
pany stated this morning that If the board
refused to honor the proposed bill for sup
plies they would disband and take with
them their apparatus, which IS valued at
about $500.

DROWNED WHILE PLAYING
Daniel Donovan, Boy of Years,
Loses His Life in a Pool of
Rain Water.

Two little boys. Daniel Donovan, aged g.,
and Archie Hood, about the same age,
stole away from their homes Wednesday
evening to sail on raft in pool of water
at Seventeenth and Temple streets. They
sailed about on the water for few min
utes, when the raft upset and Daniel was
drowned.
But for the heroism of playmate little
older than the venturesome lads both
would in all probability have met like
fate. However, Thomas Norton, boy of
IL years, saw the accident from the bank
and bravely plunged in to rescue his play
mates.
The frs. lad he caught was Archie,
whom he saved after a brave struggle.
But he was tired and unable to render as
slstance to the other boy, who had then
gone to the bottom.
1t was almost an hour later when
Daniel was brought to the surface with a
drag, but then life was extinct. He lived
at 46 Merritt street, and his parents were
notified, but the little fellow was taken
to the Morgue for ali official investigation.
The pool in which the boy lost his life
was condemned by the Board of Health
as nuisance. 1t was twelve feet deep and
was caused by the late rains, but had no
fence round it 10 keep children away.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
John Devlin, a Laundryman, While
Handling Revolver, Is Fatally
Wounded.

John Devlin, laundryman, who lives
at 1414 Washington street, met with a
probably fatal accident Wednesday even
ing in the Osborne House, S06 Kearny
street.
Devlin had been drinking heavily and
that afternoon engaged room in the
Osborne House. A few hours later peo-
pie in the house were startled by five pis-
toll shots that proceeded from the direc-
ton Of Devlin's room.
The door of his room was opened and
he was found lying on the floor covered
with blood. He said he had been fooling
with his revolver when it accidentally ex.
ploded and the bullet entered his left
breast. Being afraid he would bleed TO
death before assistance arrived, to attract
attention he fired four shots at the ceiling.
The patrol wagon was summoned and
Deylin was taken to the Receiving Hospi-
tai. DR.. We'll found that the bullet had
entered the left breast between the fifth
and sixth ribs, grazed the apex of the
heart and lodged in the spinal column,
paralyzing the lower limbs. DR.. Well ex-
pressed the opinion that Devlln could not
live. He was alive last night, but in a
low condition.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
908 Broadway, Dec. 3.
Mrs. Daniels of Thirty-third street has
applied for a divorce from her hus band,
and in the allegations of her complaint
the name of a well-known Oakland lady
is prominently mentioned.
Several months ago the Daniels rented
a furnished house and lived in good style
in North Oakland. Nothing much was
known about them till one day Mrs. Dan
iels called on a neighbor and told her a
e. pififul story. She said that her husband
Asi-left her to go on a business trip 10
] liverpool and was to have communicated
vSrh her at varions points along the route.
She had made some inquiry and found
that :he had not taken passa e on board
the steamer from New York, as he had
said he intended to do. She further found
: that no trace of him could be had as hay
ing travelled on the overland train on
which he said he had taken berth.
.. Under these circumstances Mrs. Daniels
connded in her neighbors and told them
THAT she had no doubt that she had been
deserted, as her husband, when he left,
had given her just so cents and promised
10 send remittance as soon as possible.
She said he was q mining man, though
she did not know any of his associates in
business. After a few weeks passed away
Tent.and other bills became due and Mrs.
Daniels left the house almost as suddenly
as her husband had done.
Search was made for them by the credi-
tors, and some time later they were dis
covered in Los Angeles, the husband hav-
ing apparently succeeded in allaying his
'wife's suspicious regarding any inten-
.tiohal'desertion. Later still information
. was received that Mr.. and Mrs. Daniels
were living in Los Angeles. These state
ments were discredited by the lady's IN
innate friends, because her suspicion of
being deserted had so acted upon her
mind while living III this City that it was
feared that her reason was permanently
impaired. There was also an idea pre-
Falenr that her husbands sudden dis
appearance was not altogether without
her knowledge. and this was strengthened
when it was known they were again liv-
ing together. These suspicious, however,
according to the Iady's complaint for
divorce, were entirely unfounded, and
the little woman tells tale of unpleas-
aEtness and unfaithfulness that, if true,
certainly entitle her to q divorce. She
attributes much of her trouble to her hus-
bands attention to the wife of a we'll
known business man, and says that but
for this a permanent reconciliation could
have been effected
