written TO Mr. N. r. Johnstone of New

Cespedes, one Of the general personal
scouts, who brought our last dispatches
after paying visit to Havana, had hard
time getting through the Spanish lines
and was twice held up and put through
the severest questioning. All this time
the dispatches were in his stockings, but
his GOODNESS and ready wit saved him.
The password was changed before he
passed their outer line, and he waited till
dark and made rush rather than take
chances of further explanations One
week ago a scout Of the generals was
waylaid and murdered by gang Of cut
throats, as you Yankees would term them,
and valuable papers secured and sold to

lost has worried the general good deal,
as it related TO a shipload Of ammunition

might enable the enemy to capture it.

Next TO light and convenience, ventilation

consideration. Every device which has
been proven by time and use to be of value
in the healthful and convenient appoint

the leading thoroughfare of this city which
it is and 10 the confidence in the continued
growth and prosperity of the city which its
erection bespeaks. Taken as an express
sion of faith in the future of Los Angeles,
the Newell &; Gapcmon building is an event
upon which the entire community may
well congratulate itself. The personnel of
the builders is such that their opinions of
commercial affairs are of great weight.
For many years they have been close stu
dents of the growth and demands of local
real estate. From time to time Mr.. Newell
has invested of his large means in the
various pieces of realty, to realize, In each
case. handsome profits. He is now recog-
nized among the conservative business
men of the city as one of the leading finan-
ciers of the coast.
Among many other prominent structures
with which the name of II. r. Newell is
connected may be mentioned the Newell

since the foundation of the institution. In
all of the above institutions of the city he
keeps up lively interest and contributes
literally to the support of all worthy enter
| prises and charities in an unostentatious
manner. 1t is Mr.. Newell's purpose to
