that harbor. Being seafaring man Of
thirty years experience as commander
of vessels sailing to all the great eea-
ports in the world, took in the situation
and from my personal examination and
from the report l got from a British
ship master whose vessel was then ly-
ing at the port. I asked him what he
thought about the harbor and he con-
firmed my opinion, that it was no har-
Dor at al1-simply an open roadstead,
having no protection from the sea roll
ing into the harbor The captain in
formed me that he had been there nearly
month and he had been obliged to haul
his vessel off to her anchor three times
as ii was impossible to lie alongside the
long pier. IL iieh al not done this mis-
vessel would have thrashed against the
pier and suffered injury
l consider that IL the government
should build breakwaters at Santa
Monica that would not make II a safe
'harbor, as the receding sea would cause
a strong current to run round the ends
of the jetties and to build such jetties In
eight or ten fathoms sufficiently strong
would cost over six millions of dollars
l have heard other captains of vessels
state that it was the toughest harbor
that they were ever In.
1 also on my trip visited San Fedro and
there / must say / found snug little
harbor with eighteen feet of water,
from my personal observation l believe
it could be made by dredging one Of the
finest harbcrs on the Pacific coast and
1t would not cost half the amount of
money to make it a safe and perfectly
sheltered harbor that Santa Monica
would.
San Pedro has all the advantages in
its favor, having two railroads to Los
Angeles and ether interior cities and
towns. The location of deep eea har-
Dor there will be the cause of building
up and developing that beautiful coun :

interesting Meeting Of the Cuban League Last
Night
The cause of Cuba Libre was enthu-
sically supported last night by the men,
bers of the Los Angeles Cuban league,
which held an animated and interesting
meeting in the mayors office. Gen.
Johnstone Jones presided and many
short expressions Of sympathy were
made by those present, whose number
aggregated something over hundred.
The event Of the evening was an ad-
dress from Prof. T. ]. Dugan, who gave
vivid account of the beginning of the
Cuban struggle for liberty and traced
1t throughout the ten-year war and the
present campaign.
At the conclusion of the address Capt.
Cressy presented a resolution to the ef--
feet that the Cuban league endorse
Prof. Dugan's coming course of lectures
on the Cuban war, and recommend them
to the consideration of the public.
Assistant District Attorney Williams
vehemently protested against such
action; not from any animosity against
the professor, but simply because he
thought the Cuban league should not
commit itself by endorsing an adver-
tising scheme Of any character.
The question was warmly discussed
and eventually resulted in the rejection
of the resolution.
]. W. Master, the brother-in-law of
George Teylor, who was recently shot
in Havana by command " Gen. Weyler.
made an interesting address. which.
from the fact of his being closely con-
nected with the Cuban headquarters In
New York, conveyed some valuable in
formation. The suggestion of Capt.
Cressy that series of meetings be held
In order to keep the question of Cuban
freedom a live and burning one before
the people was unanimously carried, af-
ter which the meeting adjourned.
