If Judge Bower is going to discuss
at all, and-it seems that he is, why
should he run away from Judge Griggs
and not meet that gentleman face to
face befor the people of the district?
Judge Griggs carries no gun deals in no
yituperation, is a clean, smooth, pol
ished, respectful citizen. And no harm
could be done the cause by the gentle
men appearing together, possibly. If
Judge Bower has some ideas he does
not care to have exposed to the ridicule
of mind in full operation, then it is
best that he go off to some quiet place
where the people cannot hear him and
Jim Griggs can't get at him. If Judge
Bower is going into this fight by taxi
ing to his heels every time democrat
appears to combat him, well and good.
Let him, then, put on his sprinting
garments and scoot away and Keep at
it, because there are democrats who pro-
pose to- bother him these summer

KEY WEST, April 27.-By mail
from Havana. April 25).-while Del
gado, the American, is slowly conval-
escing from wounds inflicted upon him
by Spanish soldiers under General
Melquizos bidding several weeks ago,
the brutal Spanish officer is till butch
ering people in Havana province. Al
though official investigation shows that
Melquizo is guilty of all charges
against him, he has not been suspend
ed from his command. He is said to
possess enough influence in Madrid to
make it exceedingly uncomfortable for
any superior officer who might endeav-
or to bring him to punishment. News
received here tells of his conduct dur
ing the past two weeks. Near Campo
Floridao, so the information runs, Mel
quizo arrested nine peaceble country
men and by his orders they were
killed. At Minas nineteen "pacificos"
fell into his clutches and were shot,
and near Balboa he RACED ten farms
and gathered in forty laborers, who
We're killed in cold blood. The most
horrible phase of the last butchery is
the fact that women and children were
among those massacred. In the vicin-
fly of Jaruco, Melquizo ordered the
slaughter of forty-seven persons who
were taken from fields where they were
at work.
In Melquizo's territory the people
are f1ocking to Havana to escape him.

guests, arrived on the other side of the
way. but owing to the denseness of tta
crowd, was utterly unable to force his
way across. His friends caught sight
of him and pointed to a policeman.

Afraid I can't" said the man, re-

A prodigious effort was made, unsucl

the packed crowd. Sothern was at his
thought of losing such dinner in such
company, but his invention did not fan
him.

me through and land me at the doom

man seized the idea and Sothern to-

and after a few moments of crushing
pushing and general rough handling
the disheveled comedian was successr

strong sentiment in favor of protection,

protection is worth more to them than

RIVERS AND HARBORS.
Senate Committee Concludes Con-
sheraton of the Bill.


WASHINGTON, April 27.-The SEN
ate committee on commerce finally
concluded its consideration of the river
and harbor bill at o'clock today.
Almost the entire day was spent in
an effort to agree upon the compromise
Pedro and Santa Monica to the pro-
posed deep water harbor for southern
California without success.
Friends of San Pedro used the ut
most endeaVorS to secure a concession
that would leave the matter in the
hands of a commission, but the major
ity in favor of Santa Monica mani
tested no disposition to permit a
change. Consequently, no vote was
taken upon the proposition, and the
bill as finally passed upon by the COM
mittee carries the figures agreed upon
last Friday. These put the outer har-
Dor at Santa Monica under continuing
