Cuban VICTORY.

Havana, Dec. 10.-The Spaniards
have officially announced the capture
by the insurgents of the seaport Cal
manera, lie Santiago de Cuba. The
town is situated on the southern coast
near the extremity of the island, and
a short railroad runs from it to Santa
Catalina, a few miles inland.
The announcement has caused
much excitement here, not only be-
cause it shows that the insurgents are
more than holding their own in the
eastern end Of the island, BIT also be-
cause the admission marks a decided
change in the policy of the Spanish
Government. Heretofore, no matter
what successes were gained by the in-
surgeots the Spaniards would not
admit the victories.
The capture of Caimanera is not a
surprise. The insurgents have been
stronger in the eaetern end of the
island than elsewhere. 1t was ia that
province that a few months ago thew
won the notable victory at Victoria de
las Tunas, defeating a large force Of
Spanish after a fight lasting for
many hours.

Courier Lynching Notes

The Genoa Courier was eagerly
sought after in this city yesterday as
it contained a long ccoun Of the
Genoa %lynching. Among its lynch
inf notes are the following:
There is a little doubt that Uber was
laying his plans to get out Of Jail. A
letter in his hand writing was picked
up in the Jail the morning Of his
death. A Courier reporter compared
the writing with Uber's Dotes of the
testimony taken at his preliminary
examination and the writing appeared
to be the same. Following is the let
ter:
This is the way it must be done.
After they put my supper in then
watch them and when they go out
still keep a good look out for the Con-
stable and the deputy and Sheriff and
II no chance comes wait till they put
me in the cell and go away, and in
about 10 minutes or 80 minutes go to
the back Of the yard and cross the
fence and open the window and the
doors with the keys and then I will
have all night till 9 the next day to
get away. You could have a horse
tied at the cemetery and I could ride
to Jacks Valley and turn the horse
loose and 60 to Lake Tahoe and ten
miles to the east towards Truckee and

Sierra Valley and there get some.
thing to eat and cross the Sierra
Mountains and so 60 on out of their
a and they can never catch me-"
Uher was also saving up provisions
and had a grub stake stored away in
a lime barrel in the jail.
Uber struggled aud screamed es he
was rushed out Of the Jail. His
hands we're tied and he was gagged,
and a short distance from the Court
House door he either fell or was
knocked down. He was still groan-
ing and making a noise and it is said
that he Vas kicked in the face to
make him keep atill. His nose was
broken and his face horribly cut and
bruised in some way.
The sledge hammer with which the
Court House doors we're broken down
was found in Uber's bed ia the CELL.
The handle is sneared with blood.
Plans we're made, which failed to
carry, to lynch Uber the night after
the funeral Of his victim.
While the poor victim of the mob's
violence is perhaps better off dead
than alive, there is no possible excuse
Tor the horrible work Of the lynchers.
Their treatment OF Uber was brutal
and iendish to q terrible degree and
the whole affair is a hideous disgrace
to the county and State. The Courier
ventures the assertion that not a few
who TOOK part are now ashamed of
the result and would hesitate long be-
fore participating in such work
again.

J. for one taxpayer wish TO publicly
state that l thiuk the refusal of the

1 also wish to call their attention to
the fact that about ten years z you
took up soma land at the foot of the
mountain, supposed to be worthless,
and which was s"ld by the State at
1925 au acre and this same land is now
under cultivation and assessed at
several thousand dollars. If you
want to take m re land and make it
valuable as aesessable property, doing

I do not think that politics should pre-
vent you from doing 50. The county
just o is highly taxed and every
effort on the part OF any citizen to re-
duce taxation and improve property
to make it taxable should be encour-
aged.

by Manager Brown, but because the re-
fusal of the Berkeley management to agree
to his position is regarded as virtually
robbing Stanford of brilliant athletic
victory.
The cardinal athletes have worked
harder than ever before, and we're fast
approaching a form which would have
undoubtedly esta blished Stanford's su-
premacy on the track. Brunton, Morgan,
Dole, Burnette, Fickert and Hazard are
in the pink of condition, ana could have
been expected to surpass previous in ter.
collegiate records in almost every event
entered. The refusal of the Berkeley man.
agement. coming at this time, is taken as
an acknowledgment OF Stanford's su.
premacy.
The fact that the University of CaIifor-
MIA management did not make its de-
mands until such short time before the
field day, when the nature of both teams
was well known. is regarded as conclusive
evidence that Berkeley realized that Stan.
ford had greater mum Ger of men able to
win first places and that in order to win
Berkeley would have to rely upon second
places in large degree. By counting
second places three points instead of two.
as formerly, they would raise their
chances of winning the field day proper.
tionately.
Furthermore, the time when amend.
ments to the athletic agreement between
the two colleges is regularly made is in
February, when committees from the
athletes of each college meet to consider
amendments, which each college has
right to propose. Unless amendments
are suggested to this committee the pre-
vious agreement is supposed to stand un-
altered. The University of California
com mittee made no proposal last Febru.

for firsts, two for seconds and one for
thirds, which has prevailed for the last
two years and was 80 fixed at Berkeley's
request. To change the scale of points
whenever Berkeley felt her chances would
be improved by a readjustment would be
unjust and unsportsmanlike. Berkeley
did not object to the scale of five, two and
one last year. and Stanford now asks.
why this year?"
Manager Brown has the entire support
of the student body back of him. The
view of the controversy from the Stanford
standpoint is well expressed by George
Bliss Culver in the Sequoia.

SAN JOSE, CAL. April 1S-James P.
Tresdwell, one of the heirs of the Tread.
well millions, was horsewhipped on First
street about IL o'clock last night by Louise
Buchanan, a young woman with whom he
mas had considerable trouble.
Miss Buchanan was a member of the
Bloomer MinstreIs, which played here
last week. She left the troupe al Salinas
few days ago and returned to this city.
Last evening she and Miss Sinclair, also
an ex- Bloomerite. started out with the in
tention of horsewhipping Treadwell. They
met their victim on First street, near Santa
Clara avenue, and Miss Buchanan struck
Tread well five timos with small cowhide
she carried.
Treadweli partially warded off the
blows with his cane and received but
slight punishment. He threatened to call
an officer and the won en- desisted. They
went across the street and stood around
for half hour apparently waiting for
another chance 10 assail young Tread
we'll.
Louise Buchanan first came to San Jose
from San Francisco several years ago and
made her homo with the family of Abe
Golden, the proprietor of a candy-store.
She became acquainted with young Tread
we'll and the TWO went together q great
deal. Finally she accused him of causing
her downfall under promise of marriage.
The affair was hushed up and Miss
Buchanan went to San Francisco to live.
When Treadweil' alleged marriage to q
young widow of San Francisco was re-
ported few months ago, Miss Buchanan
returned to San Jose with the avowed in
tention of "doing him up." One evening
she sent word to Trea6well that she wanted
to see him in a room in the rear of the
Louvre saloon. When he appeared the
Buchanan woman and a male escort at.
tempted to administer a beating. He
fought them off and in the melee the girl
received a black eye. She had Tread well
ar rested for battery, but before the trial
came on she paid tho costs and had the
case dismissed.
