F. E. Mascherlni of the Cuban League are

from people all over the coast who SYM
pathize with the cause of Cuba libre.
Art. f. Guthrie, editor of the Weekly
Star of Merced, who is thoroughly con.
versant with Cuban affairs from the stand :
point OF personal investigation, is one of
the warmest enthusiasts. As soon as he
can be furnished with the necessary pa
pers and data he proposes to establish a
branch league in his section Of the coun-
try, where Cubans are quite weighty
part of the population.
A number of ladies who have the cause
OF Cuba at heart called upon Secretary

that. they would on the occasion of the
present the leagne with Cuban fag made
of silk and embroidered by themselves,

government Cuba is entitled to our warmest

their freedom are not worthy OF 1t, Cuba has
shown the broadest aud most unqualified
right TO live.
Resolued, That as freemen have a common
thought and common inspiration wherever
they may be we say with all the energy we
are capable OF, "Vive Ia Cuba forever"

WILLING TO COMPROMISE.
City Attorney Creswell Thinks Buck.
ingham s. Hecht Would Win Their
Suit Against rhe Citv


City Attorney Creswell has filed an
opinion advising the payment of claim
against the City in favor of Buckingham
d Hecht, who two years ago filed a suit to
recover $9756 81 for damages resulting
from an alleged i'm mproper construction of
3x5 brick sewer oD Twenry-fourth street,
from Castro 10 Sanch.z, and the failure to
keep the same III repair, by reason of
which during heavy rain on December
Z, 1894, great body OF water. was dis
charged upon the land and premises occu-
pied by the plaintiff in the manufacture of
boots and shoes, thereby destroying and
inlurlng valuable property of the plaintiff
and its assignors in the sum OF $9756 81.
A communication was on February %
last forwarded TO the Board of Supervis sors
by the plaintiff s attorneys asking permits
sion to appear before the board with
vouchers and proof of the loss of the
plaintiff by said overflow and suggesting
that an amicable settlement be made so
as to avoid prolonged litigation if it could
be done with advantage to the City.
Thereafter the judiciary Committee of
the board gave hearing to the attorneys
and officers of the plaintiff, at which
vouchers were introduced and proofs
made under oath showing the loss of the
Touching the effort to settle the case
Mr.. Creswell says:
l had q representative from the office of the
City and County Attorney present to take par t
in the examination of the witnesses of the
plaintiff. The Judiciary Committee, after
hearing the evidence, referred the matter to
me Tor my advice in the premises, which l
promised 10 give on Saturday, March e, 1897.
l appeared before the committee at that time
and told it that the attorneys and officers of
the plaintiff had agreed TO take $4,000 n full
payment of all damages against the City in
vowed in the above-me TONED suit The
vouchers and proofs show an actual and un-
dis uted damage largely in excess of the $4,000
agreed to be taken in satisfaction thereof. In
consequence of which L recommended your
judiciary Committee to agree to settlement
on that basis. II a trial should be had the
plaintiff will, in my opinion. recover a much
larger sum than $4,000, which would carry
with 1t the costs OF suit In which event the
City would only accomplish the unnecessary
loss of its money and waste OF the time of its
officers.

LOCAL FEDERAL OFFICES,
Several Names Mentioned in
Connection With ths Cir.
cult Judgeship.
Some Contend That Another Pacific
Coast State Should Get This
Appointment.

Now that the inauguration of Mckinley
as President of the United States has be-
come retrospect the next ubiect of ma
terial interest and discussion among local
politicians is the question. of Federal pat
ronage as exemplified in the periodical re-
distribution of Government offices which
necessarily accompanies the advent OF
new administration.
There are several comfortable berths
which will have to be filled at an early
date, and there are more candidates than
there are berths to be filled.
The name of District Judge Morrow Is
popularity mentioned in connection with
the Circuit Judgeship left vacant by Judge
Joseph McKenna's recent resignation and
elevation to portfolio. There are those
who assert that DsHaven's chances are
superior for the reason that Judge Nor
row, prior to McKinley's nomination, was
not, it is said, one of the latter's SUD-
porters, but was avowedly one of Tom
Reeds hackers.
Other probable recipients of the judge
ship are District Judge Hanford of WASH
ington and ex-senator Mitchell of Oregon,
in support of whom 1t is GAINED that in
asmuch as California received representa-
ton in the Cabinet resident of some
other Pacific Coast State should in justice
be appointed to fill the existing vacancy.
Joseph S. Spear. Colonel J. p. Jackson
and Carlos Young, the commission mer-
chant, are spoken OF as possible aspirants
for the position OF Collector OF the Port,
and all three gentlemen have quite an in
fluential backing. Colonel Jackson is re-
ported to possess the support of the Con-
gressional delegation, but even so Mr..
Spear is formidable opponent, and his
friends are positive in their assertion that
he will receive the appointment. In that
event it is probable that Colonel Jackson
will receive the Survey yorshlp.
w. II. Quinn, manager of the Hurting
ton Hopkins Company; James Borland,
and Mr.. Bellingal, the Customhouse
broker, are the three most popular candi-
dates for Collector OF Internal Revenue.
James Borsand enjoys the advantage OF
strong DO itical interest, Senator Perkins,
Attorney General McKenna and Secretary
of State Sherman being among his friends.
Mr.. Quinn and Mr.. Bellingalt rely chiefly
upon commercial support. and have both
begun determined fight for the coveted
appointment.
Frank II. Leech wants to be Superinten-
dent of the Mint and is backed In his can.

CUT IN THE NECK.

Robert Ross Elected From q Colored
Club on Stockton Street.
There was big row in a colored club al
210 Stockton street early yesterday morn
ing. and one of the members was slashed
in the neck with knife.
Robert Ross, known as the 'Kiss-Eye," :"
entered the club about o'clock in the
morning. Some of the other members
objected to his presence and they at
tempted TO eject him. In the struggle
Ross was badly beaten and finally found
himself in the street.
George Mosberry, the porter, followed
Ross into the street and continued the
assault upon him. Ross knocked Mos
berry down and the porter jumped to his
feet and made a jab at Ross NECK with a
knife, lnf1icting a long. deep cash. Ross
was taken to the Receiving Hospital and
DR.. Thompson stitched and dressed his
wound. There have been no arrests.

Ex- Policeman Bloomfield Sues (
Restoration on the Force.

Ex- Policeman Bloomfield Sues for
Restoration on the Force.
William J. G. Bloomfield has 1iled an
action against the Police Commissioners
to compel them to reinstato him as police
officer. He says that he was dismissed
from the service without proper cause in
1898, and that on the 9th Of the present
month he applied to be appointed to a
vacancy then existing. inasmuoh as the
Police Commissioners had hitherto re-
stored to service one John E. Burriss. Mr..
Bloomfield, by his attorney, Nobby
Clarke, alleges that it was the duty of the
defendants to grant said restoration, yet
they then and there, with an evil eye
and an unequal hand, and in violation OF
the laws of the United States, refused to
restore him."
TIE plaintiff asks that the Commiss ion :
ers show cause, If any they have, why the
court should not compel them to restore
kim to office in order that he may draw
his salary and participate in the benefits
of the pension fund.
