OUR RANGE HORSES
MAY YET SELL FOR DECENT
PRICES
Japan Will Reorganize Her Cavalry
and Needs the Tough Bronco
From California

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.--It is more
than probable that new market is
about to open for the great herds of
range horses of the Pacific coast.
Since the close of the Chinese-Japan-
ese war the Japanese government has
been reorganizing it's army, and from
now on a large cavalry force is to be
maintained Previous to the war the
Japanese calvary was about 10000
strong, and was supplied from govern
ment horse-breeding establishments.
When, however, at the outbreak Of hos
tilities, drafts were made upon these es-
adjustments. it was found that only
five per cent ot the animals were really
serviceable.
Officials at Toxic have recently been
considering the small. weedy range ami
mails of Australia and it is said that
when United States Consul Bell, at Mel
bourne, learned of this fact, he called
attention to the American range horses
as being even better suited to the needs
of the Japanese government.
Several Japanese residents in this city
who are considered authorities upon the
matter and who have made a study of
japanese horses and the Japanese peo-
pie as horsemen, are emphatic In their
Endorsement of the American range
horse.
President Tetsutaria Aoki Of the
Yokohama Specie bank of this city, sal
today that undoubtedly the American
horse will fill all requirements.
'The horse most suitable for the jap
anese cavalry" he said, Should be as
tough as rawhide, not over gentle and
not too dainty in the matter of fodder.
l would unhesitatingly recommend that
the best horses for the home government
could be selected from herds that thrive
so we'll upon the plains of eastern
Washington. in Oregon, California and
the other mountain states. 1t only re-
mains for those most interested to bring
the matter properly before the Japan
csc government in order to open up big
market for these animals"

CUBANS' CASES
Sanguilly Accused Of Endangering
Rivera's Escape

WASHINGTON, April 3.-It has come
to the knowledge of the state department
that General Jose Sanguilly is now at
Jacksonville, Fla, and that his follow
ers have given out the impression that
the general is about to head an expe-
dition to Cuba. Secretary Sherman was
asked what the United States govern
ment would do in case this impression
was we'll founded. In reply he said
that in the first place he did not believe
Sanguilly would do any such thing. His
reason for this belief was the fact that
he (Secretary Sherman) held in his pos
session written pledge made by San
gully in return for the good offices of
this government in securing his release
from prison, not to have any connection
in any manner with the Cuban troubles.
The Spanish government also held a
similar pledge, and in addition San
gully had promised not to return to
Cuba without it's consent If Sanguilly
violated the obligations he had thus as
sumed, the department of state, Mr.
Sherman said, would not interfere fur
ther for his protection, no matter what
befell him, and it would have nothing
further to do with him.
The secretary does not believe that
General Rievra. who was wounded and
captured by the Spanish, and now lies
in Jail at San Cristobal, will be executed.
1t is undoubtedly true, however, that the
threat of the departure of another ex-
pedition from Florida under Sanguilly
promises to prejudice the efforts that
they are making, with show of success,
to secure General Rivera's pardon.
NEW YORK, April &C. r. Ackers
who has for two years been the London
Times correspondent at Havana, has a
four-column letter In the World, in
which he declares that the worst horrors
of Crete and Armenia are equalled by
Spanish barbarities in Cuba, and that it
is the moral duty of the United States
to stop the war.

in Frank Butler, who was started back

the first time since his arrest he began
to show signs of trepidation, and to re-
alize that he had utterly failed to de-
ceive the authorities or the public with
his many conflicting statements con-
cerning his past life.
The sailing of the steamer was delayed
by the hardness of eastern and Eu-
ropean mails, necessitating several post
ponements A crowd surrounded the
county Jail all day to see Buffers start
on his journey to Justice. They had a
long wait, for the multi-murderer was
not taken aboard the Mariposa until tho
last moment. Before leaving the Jail
he was handcuffed to the two Australian
detectives and driven as quickly as pos
sible to the dock, where he was hurried
into the specially equipped prisoners
