The Survivors Arrive at Victoria on
the Steamer Quadra.
But Little Hope for the Occupants OF the
Second Officers Boat.
a Mexican Woodchopper Terribly
MangIed in Santa Clara County
by the Explosion of Nine Giant
Powder Cartridges Which He
Was Carrying in His Pockets.

VICTORIA B. CO, Dec. 2.-The
Government steamer Quadra arrived
this evening with the survivors of the
steamer Cleveland, most OF whom, al
though not seriously i'll, required medl-
cal treatment.
Captain Walbran Of the Quadra has
but little hope for the second officer S
boat and its nine occupants. He
cruised as far north as Hesquoit, and
could find nothing of them If they
are still alive they will be found by
the Willapa, which has gone still far
ther north.
The first officers boat was out for five
days, being in sight of land, but afraid
to attempt landing on account of the
surf. The boat was half full of water
all the time, and the mems legs and
feet are badly swollen as a result.
The third officers boat was out but
two days, and the men on her have
almost fully recovered.
Captain Walbran says there will be
no difficulty in floating the Cleveland.
There is a big hole in her hull, but its
full extent cannot be learned until all
the cargo is removed. The Indians who
looted the ship have been sentenced to
terms Of from one to six months.
Captain Hall and Third Mate Mel
len, with Messrs. Metcalf and Tyson,
representing the insurance companies
and owners, are staying by the wreck,
and as soon as the cargo is out, the tug
Car wja attempt to pull her off.

TRIAL OF CLARA FALLMER.
The Accused Tells Her Story on
the Witness Stand.

OAKLAND, Dee. 22-On the witness
stand to-day in Judge Ogden's court
Clara Fallmer, on trial for her life for
the murder of Charles Ladue, told her
story. 1t dealt with her downfall, her
hope Of redemption, and then her des-
peration at being scorned by the man
she loved, the details of which have
already been printed.
The defense, in its fight to protect
their client, on cross ss-examination sue
ceeded in keeping the prosecution from
asking a single question as to the
events of August I'd, the day Of the
shooting. Before they placed her on
the stand Attorney Frick announced
that his client would admit all of the
happenings of that day, including the
shooting Of the deceased and the fact
that Clara Fal1mer had shot him. Then
in direct examination not a single
question was asked her dealing with the
events of the day.

ARANGUREN STILL LIVING.
Was Not Put to Death as Report
ed With Ruiz.

HAVANA, Dec. 22.-All the best in
formed persons deny that Aranguren
was killed with Ruiz. On the contrary,
there is good authority for the report
that Immediately after Ruiz was ma
cheted Aranguren was promoted from
the rank of Colonel to that of Brigadier
He delivered the temporary command to
his first officer and went to the Camp of
General Alexandra Rodriguez to inform
him of the execution of Ruiz, after
which he returned and took charge Of
his troops.
General Pando has written to Captain
General Blanco to say that all the COM
missioners that have been sent to the
insurgents camp proposing peace with
autonomy have failed, and therefore no
other course is open than to finish the
war with war.
In a telegram to General Blanco pro-
testing in the name of the Cuban au-
tonomists against the killing of Lieuten-
ant Ruiz, Senior Marcos Agrcia says also
that hitherto the autonomiStS have OBJ
served a passive attitude, but from this
date they will help to crush the re-
hellion," adding that 'the war must be
finished with war;

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Hear the Complaint of a San Diego
Orchardist.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.-At the
meeting of the Board of Railroad Com
missioners to-day Chief Counsel G. n.
Sterry and General Manager w. q.
Nevin of the Southern California Rail-
road appeared to explain why the COM
pany had pulled up four miles Of its
track between Ranchita and Fall
Brook, on it's Temecula Canyon line.
Several days ago +. f. Adams, a
fruit grower near Ranchita, complained
TO the Commissioners that the removal
Of the track meant ruin for himself and
other orchardists.
Messrs. Nevin and Sterry contended
that the Teme cula line was Improbable:
that the four miles of track removed
cost Sc, 900 a year to maintain; that Mr..
Adams was the only person who could
possibly be injured by the removal of
the track, and that the damage to him
could not exceed $50 year.
The Commissioners decided to ask
Mr.. Adams to file a bill Of formal COM
plaint, so that the matter can be inves-
tgated under the guidance of the At
torney- General.

does not state why he shot her, al
though he surrendered himself to Po-
liceman Murphy and acknowledged to
him and to friends of the woman that
he had tried to kill her.
Mary Symora, the woman who was
shot, comes from Salinas, where her
parents still reside. She is about Il
years of age, and rather pretty. The
physicians at the Receiving Hospital

WASSERMAN, DAVIS & CO., K between Sixth and Seventh
RAILROAD BUILDING.
California Heads the List for
Track Laying the Present Year.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The Railway
Age" makes the following statement Of
new railway lines built in the year
1897:
While the year 1897 has shown larg-
er railway earnings ana better business
conditions than it's immediate prede-
cessors, the marked Improvement In the
financial outlook did not begin early
enough in the year for the completion
of many new railway undertakings, and
so il now appears that although much
construction work is under way, tie
mileage of track actually laid is but 1T
tie greater than that for the preceding
year.
The lowest point in twenty years, in
respect to railway building, was
reached in 1895 when only 1,oO3 miles
of track were added, and 1897 has done
a little better, the total now reported
to US being 1,S64 miles. California
stands first, with 30 miles laid on
different roads, and no track was laid
in New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, Maryland, Kansas, Nebraska
New Mexico, Indian Territory, Arizona,
Wyoming and Nevada, and five other
States barely escaped from this cate
CORY by getting credit for from half a
mile to a mile and quarter each.
At the commencement of 1898 the
United States will have 1S4,464 miles
of completed railway.
