Are Punished.

New York, May "A dispatch to the
Journal from Washington says: The state
department has learned through it's secret
agents that the wreck of the battleship

ness, as soon as we take possession of Ha-
vana, to find out who were the perpetra-
tors of that crime Of the night of Febru-

IF we find that they have escaped from
the island and have gone back to Spain
we will follow them there and tell Spain
that the war shall not stop until they have
been delivered up to US for punishment"

SPAIN'S LATEST
 REPLY NOT GIVEN OUT.
It's Substance Is Not Yet Known Even by the State
 Dena m ent

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-It is said at the State Department that all attempts to state the nature of Spains reply to Minister Woodford's note of last De- cember, at least so far as correspondents on this side of the Atlantic are concerned. are purely speculative and must be so of necessity for the reason that up to this time the department itself does not know even the substance of the reply.
 This disposes of the stories that have appeared to the effect that the admins tration has been disturbed by cablegrams from Woodford relative to the Spanish answer. Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Span ish Minister, called at the State Depart ment to-day and spent some time in con- sultation with MT. Kasson, the special plenipotentiary, talking over the proposed reciprocity treaties to be arranged be- tween the United States and Spain. The Spanish Minister has been informed that pr. Anguelo will come to Washington to represent the autonomous government of Cuba in fixing the details of the treaties. The doctor is now in New York awaiting the return to Havana of Captain-General Blanco, who must sign his commission.

FORMER ATTACKS
 OF SENIOR DE LONE.
While 8 Youth He Cast Vile Slurs Upon the Nation and Its Fair
 Women

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The letter pro- duced by the Junta recalls former at- tack made by Senor de Lome on the United States, written when he was a young man. It was a youthful in- discretion. The attack of Senor de Lome was contained in a book pub- in 1878, and was entitled Madrid a Madrid" Referring to the landing at San Francisco he said:
 We had been told on board steamer all that is usually said concerning United States officials They are scoundrels and thieves. To strictly comply with custom house regulations will be of no avail to you"
 American women are thus alluded to-: We all know what the woman in the United States is. She is adventurous and bold. She travels alone with full liberty, protected more by fear of law than by respect which she inspires. She is spendthrift, elegant, and wears the most risky fashions, knowing well that everything becomes her.
 Before marriage, as I said before, they are more feared than respected When they are married, how do they behave? Who can tell? People have been inclined to believe they made model wives. I do not think that they are the worst people in the world, but there are indications that do not com mend them much"
 Again of the future of this republic he said: Will the United States be able long to retain the cohesion from which the Federal constitution derives all its force, having, as the nation has, a government lacking unity and strength as well as a corrupt administration"
 The prediction is made in the book that the United States must eventually be dismembered. and that there will be three republics-the East, West and South

Aged George Lord Yields to a Stroke of Pa
 ralysis.
The Oldest Member of His Order in the United
 States.
Won Riches in California Mines.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 8.-George Lord, pioneer, almost centenarian and the oldest Mason and Odd Fellow in the United States, probably in the world, died this morning. at 8 o'clock at his home in this city from paraly- tic stroke received yesterday. Several months ago his splendid physical strength began to fail, and for several weeks his death has been daily ex- pected The paralytic stroke was the finishing blow, and his passing was quiet and peaceful.
 George Lord was born in New York City on June IT, 1900, and was initiated an entered apprentice, raised to the degree of fellowcraft and to the degree of Master Mason in two weeks, In Jan- uary, 1928. During the same year he went South, and at Louisville, Ky, became a member of Daniel Boone Lodge No. 1, Independent Order of Odd Fellows He went to Ohio in 1886, and joined the Mansfield Lodge of Masons, in which he held the offices of senior warden and chaplain.
 During the year 1S49, while MT. Lord was living at Civic Bend, Iowa, his property was destroyed by fire, and he made the trip across the continent with OK teams by way of Fort Hall and the Humboldt River, and engaged in placer mining along the Tuba River for two years. He was the first settler in Dow melville, and erected the first log cabin in that camp. It was still standing two years ago. His mining was sue cessful, and he returned to the States by the way of the Isthmus of Panama in the spring of 1851, having amassed a considerable fortune
 He remained East only one year and during that time married Miss Arabella Singleton, who, with one son, survives him. Then he returned to California over the same emigrant road he had helped to build two years previous. He crossed the mountins and plains with a party of emigrants from Salt Lake City, who were the first Americans to settle in San Bernardino County. He settled on a ranch near the present city and has ever since lived in this county He was the first successful grower of raisin grapes in Southern California and took the first prize, a $5 gold piece, offered at Los Angeles. At the time of his death he was a member of Phoenix Lodge No. ITS. F. and A. M, and Keystone Chapter No. 56, R. A. M. He was one of the organ izers of the Society of California Pio- neers and was the first president of the San Bernardino society until the office of past president was created for him.

Madeira Lawyer to An swer to a Forgery
 Charge.
Accused of Having Altered a Claim Against His
 Client.
Sensational Outgrowth of the Finan cial Difficulties of Watkins
 & PrOsser.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MADEIRA, Feb. 8.-The preliminary examination of Francis A. Fee, charged with forgery, which has been in pro- gress at Madeira since last Friday, was brought to a close this afternoon at o'clock. Fee was held for trial.
 The charge against the accused grew out of a transaction some time ago be- tween the Commercial Bank of this place and Watkins & Prosser, lumber firm of this county. The lumber firm became somewhat embarrassed finan- cially, and, among other creditors, it owed the Commercial Bank a consider able sum. In the transaction of which the alleged forgery is said to have been the outgrowth the Commercial Bank was to assume all the liabilities of the lumber firm and take the property con- nected with the lumber business off the lumber firms hands, and thus reach some amicable adjustment of the in- debtednesS of the lumber firm to the bank.
 Among other liabilities which it is claimed the bank was to assume under this agreement was a claim of about $2000 due from the lumber firm to Ros- enthal & Kutner Prosser, one of the lumber firm, and the prosecuting wit ness, and Attorney R. L. Hargrove, swear positively that the claim of Ros- enthal 6 Kutner was in the agreement and list of liabilities. The defendant, Fee, is charged with having tempered with the instrument, by removing the names of Rosenthal & Kutner Fee was acting as the attorney for the Commercial Bank at the time the all legged alteration was made.
 Much contradictory testimony was given in the investigation, which occu- pied more time than any preliminary examination heretofore held in the county The peculiar nature of the charge. besides the rather sensational developments and the prominence of the persons directly and indirectly con- cerned, has occasioned considerable in terest. At the termination of the in vestigation the defendant was held to answer before the Superior Court, his bail being fixed at S2000

pendence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the strug-
 gles of other American peoples to free themselves from European domination.
 We watch with deep and abiding inter est the heroic battles of the Cuban pa triots against cruelty and oppression, and our best hopes go out for the full suc- cess of their determined contest for lib- erty. The Government of Spain having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resident American citizens or to comply with it's treaty obligations, we believe that the Government of the United States should use its influence and good offices to re- store peace and give independence to the island" Cuban plank in the Repupncan platform adopted by the Republican Ma tional Convention at St. Louis, June 16 1S96.) And,
 Whereas, The people of the United States do not seek to acquire title to Cuba, nor do they seek to gain advantage in any way, directly or indirectly of any nation by reason of this barbarism called war; they do not complain of the loss of trade with Cuba and have patiently borne the assault on the health of the people by the filth of Spanish rule in Cuba; they seek no redress for loss of business, or health, or money; they have patiently waited not wishing, even in directly, to interfere with the affairs of other nations until the stench on our very borders has passed endurance and the barbarous situation in Cuba has be- come stain upon our continent and a blot upon our Christian civilization; therefore, the people of the United States, demanding no personal profit, having no fear and seeking no favor, clear and conscious as to the justice of their posi- tion, do, in the presence of the civilized nations of the world. and in the name of justice and liberty, demand that the so- called war in Cuba must cease.
