They did not suffer all OF the hard

prison allowed any article that bore

This was unusual. OF course, the

their not attempting to escape or
taking contraband articles. When
General Weyler visited Santiago, Dr.
Hyatt made a personal appeal to him
for the boys. on his return visit to
the American consul, General Wey-
Ter brought up the subject. Just be-
fore General Weyler left the island
for Spain. DR.. Hyatt wrote him, re-
calling his promise to release the
boys DIR. Hyatt then returned to
America. Now news comes that the
release Of the young men was among

general. The boys at once sent word
that they would sail for New York

sponsibilitles did not surprise me. l

BILE TO force boat to the shore on ac-
count OF the ice that was forming along
the beach, and also that by sending
them ashore there to commence such
n journey as they proposed, would be
aiding them to their deaths. Therefore

CALIFORNIA; HOME PRODUCT LAW.


Los Angeles. Cal, Nov. 4.-The
criticism of many eastern newspapers
in regard to the law recently passed
by the California Legislature in con-
nection with the use of home pro-
ducts in state Institutions has brought
the following reply from f. j. See
and manufacturers association in
this city:
THE spirit and intent Of the home
product law prohibiting public insti-
tutions from advertising for any spe-
cihc brand Of any patent article or
apparatus is evidently misunderstood
in the East. The custom heretofore
adopted OF advertising for any SPECIFIC
brand Of manufactured article, dis
eliminated against all others of the
same character. and as a consequence
eastern as well as California prod
ucts OF the same character were
practically excluded.
The present law In no way con-
templates the exclusion of eastern
competition. IT simply provides that
quality and price being equal. pref
orence must be given to California
manufactured articles. II II is shown
that the price being equal but the
eastern product is Of superior quality
that product viii be awarded the con-
trast. II was not theintentlon OF the
California legislature to erect
barrier against eastern manufac-
turers. but simply as far as possible
to protect them as well as California
products"

New York, Nov. A dispatch to the
World from Washington says.
Gen. Nelson a. Mics was asked last
night to give his reasons for recoIn-
mcnding the fertilization of the new
Federal building in Chicago with gat-
ling guns. He said:
There are nine places in this coun-
Try where the treasury chests of Uncle
sam are located, and for the past
twenty years l have urged the neces-
SHY Of protecting these repositories
with the most improved pattern OF
firearms. When the subject OF new
pubic building at Chicago was
bfosched, one OF my first thoughts was
for protective measures In case there
should be an attempt directed against
the sub treasury holdings which Will
be put in the building.
While / was in Constantinople the
details of the attack OF the Turkish
bank in that city Were related 10 me.
and brought back to me the necessity
for some means for defense of the
public institutions OF the United States.
Calling guns should be placed where
they would be available at a moment 5
notice"
Gen. Miles did not believe there was
any necessity to fortify postohices or
other federal structures, except those
in which are large sums of government
money. He thinks that In each where
there are sub treasures detail of
regular troops should be maintained.
According TO his plan, this would In
VolVe no additional expense to the
