. AGNEWS ASYLUM.
Mrs. Madigan and Tourti1lot Ac-
quilted of Wrong Doing.

SAN JOSE, July 2S-The State Lu-
macy Commission was in session at Ag-
news to-day, but Governor Budd was
not present. The proceedings are still
in executive session, and care is OBJ
served that nothing from the room Of
the commission is divulged
Trustee Gould of the local board was
the first witness called. He was on the
stand when the commission adjourned
till Tuesday. 1t is understood that the
examination of Gould, in some partic-
ulars at least, refers to the charges
which have been made aginst him that
he was making places in the asylum for
his political friends. At 12:45 to-day
the commission was still in session and
Gould still before them, recess for lunch
not yet having been taken. 1t was ru-
mored about the corridors of the asy-
lum that Hale would go before the
commission, and that he was loaded"
for large game. The insinuation made
is that Hale is looking ahead to politi-
cal preferment in his party, and that
he resents the accusation of being in the
ring which is alleged to be running the
asylum in it's personal interest so far
as appointments and places are con-
the accusation against him is true, and
that Gould, Curnow and Hale make up
the inside ring, with possibly Whites
aid at times.
While the commission is going on
with it's Investigations the local board
conducts its side show, SO to speak.
Two or three witnesses We're examined
this morning along the same lines as
those formerly followed. Nothing Of a
particularly new or interesting nature
was developed. Chiefly the charges
against T. T. Tourtillot and Mrs. Madi-
gan were the subject.
Shortly after the noon hour the local
board announced the case for the time
closed subject to be opened if deemed
necessary. 1t was also announced that
a decision might be made some time
later this afternoon.
In the investigation at Agnews State
Hospital which has just ended, Mrs.
Madigan and Tourtillot We're declared
not guilty by unanimous vote Of the
Investigation Committee.

REPLY TO SPAIN.
1t May be Given To-Day OF To-
Morrow


WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Secretary
uof State Day was closeted with the
President for less than a half hour this
afternoon over the response to Spain's
note suing for peace. When he left
the White House, Mr.. Day announced
that the reply would be given to Spain
on Friday or Saturday Meantime its
tenor, so far as the Administration is
able to do, is to be carefully guarded
from the people. The President up to
that time had no consultations with
other members of the Cabinet with re-
gard to the communication TO be pre-
sented to Spain.
1t has been noticeable that since the
conference with members of the Cab
met following M. Cambon's presenta-
ton of Spain's preliminary note, there
have been few important conferences
at the White House Several members
of the Cabinet meantime have called
individually, but none has been by pre-
arrangement. This is taken to indi-
cate that the response of the Admin
istration already is clearly outlined,
and is only awaiting the final concensus
of opinion at to-morrow's Cabinet ses-
sion Many persons who called on the
President to-day on political matters
made inquiries on the peace situation,
but gathered little important informa-
ton. Several however, who have
talked with the President and Secre-
tary Day, say the Administration is
prepared to meet any steps the Span
ish Government may take
''Our terms will be such as to meet
the approval of the entire world" one
of the Cabinet members is quoted as
saying, but further than that he would
not go.

SHIPPERS WIN.
Judgment Rendered Against the U
s. EXPRESS Company.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-Judge Tuley of
the Circuit Court to-day ruled in favor
of the shippers in the test case brought
by the Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
ton, granting a writ of mandamus
compelling the United States Express
Company to accept for transportation
packages for shipment without the pay
ment of / cent in excess of the regular
rate. The case will be appealed by the
defendants
The court held that it was not with
in the domain of the shipper to use the
bill and that the law expressly provides
that the person issuing the receipt shall
affiX the stamp.
Three million dollars annually is the
estimated sum which the express COM
panies will have to pay in case the
opinion is sustained by higher courts.
Los ANGELES, July 2S.-The Attor-
ney General to-day instructed the Dis
trict Attorney in the matter of prose-
cution of the express company for re-
fusing to stamp or accept unstamped
packages. He says:
1T is not violation of the Revenue
Act for carrier to refuse to accept
merchandise for shipment. The penalty

PACIFIC CABLE.
The United States Will Soon Be
Connected With Hawaii.

SAN FRANCISCO, July %. = The
Evening Post" in an article published
to-day, says that the United States
will soon be connected by cable with
her newly acquired Pacific possessions,
and that the cable will connect the
United States from this city with Ha-
waii, the Ladrones, the Philippines and
Hongkong. The paper says that most
of the surveys have been made and
that the contract for the laying Of the
cable has already been let, and that
according TO the terms of the contract,
the work must be completed within six
months. The price to be paid is stated
to be 100000 900.
On July I'd the Executive Council Of
the Hawaiian Government signed a
contract granting the right Of the Pa
cific Gable Company to lay a cable be-
tween the United States, Hawaii, China.
Japan and the Pacific Islands, the con-
tract being for a period of twenty years.
The Pacific Gable Company, accord
ing to the Post" is capitalized for

are Admiral John Irwin, J. Pierpont
Morgan and J. Kennedy Tod General
Swain of New York is the legal repre-
sentative Of the company in this coun-
try.
The company has been operating very
quietly with the cooperation of this
Government and the Hawaiian Govern
ment, pending the outcome Of the an
nexation proceedings. During the last
session of Congress Representative Ben
nett introduced a bill looking toward
the laying of the cable. and the prelirn-

after the English capture Of Havana.
spain mad been rash enough to side
with france in the war usually known
IN TINS country as the French and In
dlan war. She was speedily punished
for it.
Inc expedition against Manila was
the plan of Colonel William Draper,
aIterWard barOnet and Lieutenant
General. He was made a Brigadier
General for the expedition and put in
command, with Admiral Cornish as his
naval ally. The expedition was fitted
out and started from Madras, India.
There were nine ships of the line and
frlgates, several troop ships and a
land force Of 2,3OO men, including one
English regiment, with Sepoys and ma
rines.
On September "a, 1862, these forces
were disembarked just south of Manila.
The Archbishop of Manila, who was
also Governor General of the islands,
collected and armed some 10000 natives
as a reinforcement to the Spanish gar
rison of 800. During the progress of
the siege some daring attempts were
made by the British to prevent the fur
ther construction of defenses, but the
assailants were repulsed with great
slaughter
A desperate sally was made by a
strong body of natives, who ran fu-
riously on the ranks of the besiegers
and fought with almost incredible fe-
rocity, and many of them died, like
wild beasts, gnawing with their teeth
the bayonets by which they were trans
fixed.''
On October 9th a breach was effected
in the Spanish works, the English car
ried the city by storm, and gave it up
for several hours to the ravages of a
merciless soldiery. The Archbishop
and his officers had retired to the cita-
del, but this could not be defended,
and a capitulation was agreed upon, by
which the city and port of Manila, with
several ships and the military stores,
were surrendered while for their pri-
vate property the Spanish agreed to
pay as ransom S2,000,000 in coin ani
the same in bills on the treasury at
Madrid. This last obligation was never
paid
A day or two after the capture came
news of a rich prize for Admiral Con.
nish. He had started eastward with a
frigate, and a ship of the line to inter-
cept a treasure ship. This he did, bat
fell in with and captured a Spanish
galleon bound from Manila to Acapulco,

Pana Miners Strike.

PANA QI.), July 2S.-The mines of
the Pana and Penwen Coal Company
continue idle, despite continued efforts
to operate them with nom union miners
under a heavy guard of Deputy Sher-
ifs and special police. Eight miners
went to work in the Springside Coal
Company's mine to-day, being conveyed
in carriages to the mine by Deputy
Sheriffs with Winchesters. There is
no coal being hoisted at the mine, how
ever, and the general impression is that
the men are only making repairs and
propping up the rooms preparatory to
a settlement of the strike.

INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE.
Working in the Interest of the
Coming State Fair.

The call for a meeting of the Home
Industry and Business League at Fed
Grafton Hall, 1913 Tenth street, brought
out a light attendance last night.
President Louis Breuner stated that it
was called for the purpose of inducing
manufacturers of the city to make ex-
hibits at the coming State Fair.
Captain H I. Seymour of the Exhi-
bition Committee reported that he had
attended a meeting of the Directors Of
the Chamber of Commerce on Monday
last, when the question Of inducing
manufacturers to exhibit at the State
Fair was discussed. Edwin F. Smith,
Secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture, was present and promised to
set sufficient space apart for Sacra-
mento City and County manufacturing
displays.
Captain Seymour explained that the
Chamber of Commerce had appointed a
committee, to act in conjunction with
a committee to be appointed by the In
dustrial League, to personally call upon
the manufacturers in the city and
county and attempt TO induce them to
make exhibits of their products.
President Breuner said he did not
doubt that the manufacturers of the
city could make an excellent display
if they would try.
j. o. Coleman, Secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce, stated that the
Joint committee would make a com
plete canvass of all of the manufac-
turers in the city, taking along a plat
or the west wing of the Pavilion, so
that each exhibitor might decide on
the amount of space he would require.
He read list of manufacturers in the
city, 50 far as he had been able 10
locate them.
AS a committee to cooperate with
that Of the Chamber Of Commerce,
President Breuner appointed George
Ogg and Harry Rogers.

The fixing of the estimate for the
probable amount of money required
for the support of the primary and
grammar schools for the next year
created considerable discussion.
Director Sherburn declared against
any estimate which on its face seemed
eXorbitant. He referred to Superln-
tendent Erlewine's estimate of S1,oUo
for furniture, and called attention TO
the fact that during last year less than
$500 had been expended for furniture,
and he did not believe in asking the
taxpayers to raise 81, 800 when S1,OOO
would answer the purpose.
Sherburn is Chairman of the Com
mittee on Furniture, and his motion to
reduce the superintendent estimate
from $1,000 TO $1,000 was carried He
was not through yet. however, and fol-
lowed up his advantage by moving for
a reduction from sc, 900 to $1,000 in the
estimate for repairs.
But at that point the board drew the
line, and acting on the theory that the
Superintendent, from the position he
occupied, was able to judge of the needs
OF the schools adopted the estimate
submitted by him, Sherburn voting no.
The communication which will be for
warded to the Board Of Supervisors, to-
gether with the estimate Of funds re-
quired, is as follows:

tailed statement of the probable
