American Relief Fund.
WAsHrNGroN, Aug. 5.-The action Of
congress in appropriating $4,000 for
the relief of distressed Americans in
Cuba seemingly has resulted in adding
TO their sufferings. This may be re-
garded as paradoxical, but its truth is
attested by reports which have lust
been received at the department
from consular representatives, Of
this government in Cuba, From
these reports it appears that
Spanish citizens who have heretofore
permitted destitute Americans to reside
under their roofs, are now evictipg

by the former deputy district attorney,
that such claims are illegal and ought
not to be allowed. The continued pre-
sentation of similar claims and includ-
ing some which we regard as wholly
personal in their nature, reveals de-
termination on Mr.. Riley'spart to secure

treasury, and we think that such a
course on the part of the head OF very
important division OF the public service
merits the emphatic condemnation OF
every friend of good government. and Of

THEIR RECORDS ARE BLACK
Chief Glass Learns the Records Of
Several Recent Captures

Chief of Police Glass has just received
the records of some of the criminals
which his men have recently arrested
All of them have served more or less
time in prison. They are as follows:
Jack Marshall, arrested by Detectives
Auble and Hawley March 80, for bur-
giarizing the Foresters' and Maccabees'
ledge rooms. and who is now in the coun-
ty Jail awaiting trial, was sent up from
San Francisco October 6, 1889, and served
seven years for burglary under the
name of John n. Lamar.
Frank Clifford, arrested April by
Detectives Steele and Bradish, for bur-
slary; served the past three and one
half years at San Quentin for a similar :
ofiensa committed in Oakland. At that
time his name was Leon Waldruff He
is also said to have served time at the
Joliet, ILL.,, pententiary.
Norman Lewis. who was taken into
custody al Santa Ana by Detectives
Steele and Bradish for forgery, and who
has since pleaded guilty and been SEN
fenced to five years at Folsom, has served

SAN DIEGO

SAN DIEGO, April 20.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Jesse Grant and Captain
L. Harris are two Of the owners OF fleet
Of schooners that will soon make regular
trips between this port and Honolulu.
For the past two years these gentlemen
have been maturing their plans. and
now It is known they have associated
with them men whose financial ability
insures the success Of the enterprise. The
business to be engaged in will take the
schooners to the guano islands of the
Mexican territory on the peninsula, and
from there to the Hawaiian islands.
where there is good market. On the
return their cargoes will be made up
of the products Of the islands, so that
a good business is assured the company.
Jesse Grant has been in Mexico for the
past two weeks and yesterday advised
his associates that he had secured the
necessary concessions for taking the
guano from the islands. This was the
last important matter connected with
the enterprise to be arranged and its
success means that the first schooner
will leave this harbor the first week in
May.
Yesterday Mayor D. c. Reed
took the oath of office and on the Sd day
of May will assume the duties of the
office to which the people have elected
him. Mayor Reed has long since been
recognized as one of the most progress
i've and loyal citizens of this community,
and his administration will certainly be
one of the best this city has ever had.
Then again the city council is recog-
nized as the most representative body
that has ever graced the office and there
fore the new city administration will
doubtless be one that will add much to
the dignity of the city and their policy
will be one of progression.
Chief of Police Banning has been
granted an eight-day leave of absence
and will go to the mountains to inspect
who Mayor Reed will select to fill this
which he is interested. By some the re-
quest for leave of absence at this time
is interpreted to mean that Chief Ban

MORALES-S
THE NOTORIOUS BANDITS SEEN
IN LOWER CALIFORNIA
They Crossed the Border Few Days
Ago on Horses-A Posse to
Start in Pursuit

E. W, McAfee, who was formerly con-
nected with the territorial prison at
Yuma, but who now resides on a large
ranch near the California Mexico line,
In San Diego county. is in the city for
few days. Mr.. McAfee states that
few days ago he returned from a busi-
ness trip to Lower California and when
about twenty miles south of the bound
ary line he saw Jose Morales and Anto-
nio Sepulveda. the two outlaws.
At the time Mr.. McAfee reports that
he was eating lunch with a companion
a short distance from the road and would
have attacked them had 1t not been for
the fact that his shotgun was on the
other side of the road in his wagon. The
bandits were not fully recognized until
after they had passed." said Mr.. McAfee
last evening, at the Nadeau hotel, "as
Morales was dressed very differently
from what he was accustomed to wear
when 1 first knew him. After passing US
they applied the spurs to their horses
and left hurriedly in a southeasterly
direction. Each of them had Winches-
ter rifle. pistol. canteen and blankets
strapped to their saddles. They looked
like the typical Texas cowboys and ap-
parently seemed well prepared for a
running fight. I had known Morales
several years and am quite positive that
1t was he whom I saw. Sepulveda IS
a man Of whom I know nothing except
what I have heard and read. The de-
scription as published tallies with the
party that accompanied Morales and
that is why think it was sepulveda."

several months ago, after which he made
his escape and has been at large ever
since, notwithstanding the diligent
search made by every officer in Southern
California and Arizona. A reward of $500
is offered for his arrest. Sheriff Johnson
and posse last week located him and his
pal in the Temecula mountains, in the
southern portion of Riverside county,
and gave them lively running fight In
which many shots were fired at long
range, but they succeeded in escaping
with their horses and made their way
toward the Mexican line.
Morales and Sepulveda are both no.
torious highwaymen and have publicly
boasted that they would never be taken
alive. The latter is wanted for assault
to murder and for the theft of at least
score of horses: 1t is reported that ex-
