WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The follow irg announcement regarding the work of Cuban relief inaugurated by this Government has been made from the State Department:
 In view of the steps now being taken by the Secretary of State for the or ganiZation. in New York. of a central headquarters, with the cooperation of the American National Red . Cross, for the reception and forwarding of relief for the suffering people of Cuba, and the probability that it will be in effective op- eration early in the present week, the benevolently disposed public of the United States be informed through the medium of the press that the Consul General of the United States at Havana mentions the following articles as appro- priate to these contributed, all of them. Summer clothing for women and chil- dren; medicines for levers, principally quinine; hard bread, flour, corn meal. bacon, rice, lard, potatoes, beans peas, salt fish, any canned goods, particularly nourishing soup, meat extracts blankets densed milk, as many persons are at first too feeble for any other notlrish- ment. Contributions of money are also urgently needed to enable the purcha se of immediate supplies of medicines and articles of prime necessity, and to meet the expenses of local transportation in Cuba. The Consul-General to whom all supplies and money will be sent will at once organize arrangements for the re- ceipt, storage and most effective distri- the humane people of the United States.

criminal cases can be and are squared" by certain deputies in the office. Recently Frank Phillips, who was charged with murder, was dis missed on motion of Deputy District Attorney F. R. Willis, who alleged that one Kitty Carlin, material wit ness for the prosecution, could not be found. It is now stated that Kitty was not only in the city, but in the courtroom when the motion was made. A newspaper here calls attention to the fact that Deputy Willis occupies the same office as Davis & Ruth, attorneys for the defense in the Phillips case, and makes such strong intimation that the case was squared" that the court has taken judicial notice of it.
 Superior Judge B. N. Smith, in whose department Phillips was tried, has or dered Deputy Willis to appear before him tomorrow and be examined upon the allegations of the newspapers There is a strong current of opposition to District Attorney Donnell, both in one faction of the Republican party and among the Good Government Leaguers, and a determined effort will be made to kill him off politically.
 Intimations are freely made that the Sheriff's office is mixed up in the ''squaring" business, and an investiga- tion of one or more deputies in that of fee will be made.

cAELF0RKIA OLIVES . :. CAIN " POPULARITY
Nholesuie Dealers n the East Anxious to : l.. Purchase the local Product at Good Prices.

:. POMONA, Jan. 2.-California olives have*suddenly become immensely pop ular in the Eastern States. The com pal2ies and individuals in this region who are engaged in picking olives, have received orders for delivering thousands of gallons of the pickIed fruit in the Eastern cities in the next few weeks. Wholesale dealers in the East who had to be coaxed to handle Southern California olives a year ago haVe lately sent orders for barrels and hogsheads of the olives, and they say that at last the California product is winning it's way into popular favor. Conservative estimates put the value of the seasons olive yield in California at about $10O,OOO greater than in any previous year
 The olive harvest in this region con- tlnues. The olive oil mills never had so much business as now, and they are running day and night to fill ord CTS. It seems that the expectations of many people that olives are bound to become the leading horticultural pro- duct of California are about to be full filled.

Special plspatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch 10 The Cdil-
 NEW YORK, Jan. "A Washington special to the Herald says: It is fact not without significance that the op position to the project of publishing list of all pensioners. together with the disabilities for which they are being paid. is particularly noticeable among resident pensioners of this city. There has been no such general opposition to the plan from other sections of the country.
 There is good reason for this local opposition. During the pension de- bauch in which the country has in- dulged for the last few years. some of the clerks in the pension bureau have taken advantage of their positions to help each other to secure pensions. They have been able to obtain pensions ranging from S10 to $50 a month, while at the same time they were receiving salaries as able bodied Government employees, ranging from S1000 to S3000 year.
 In order to obtain these pensions the clerks in many cases had to make oath to the effect that they were so disabled that they could not support themselves. If these men had not been in position to aid each other in obtaining pensions they would in most instances, not have obtained them.
 Even among themselves the clerks of the pension bureau have tried to keep secret the fact that they are drawing pensions in addition to their salaries The proposition now to publish their names, together with those of other pensioners, has alarmed them, and they are doing all they can to prevent a consummation of the plan.

Special Disnatch to The Call.


 POMONA, Jan. 2.-The year 1898 opens auspiciously for several people in this locality, but especially for poor woman cook on a lonely ranch near the foothills between Spadra and Puente, in this part of Los Angeles county. She is Maggie Doherty, a spinster of about 40 years. She left flr the north last night and will go to Boise City, Idaho, before she returns 10 claim a fortune of $27 900 that sine in heritS from her recently deceased uncle, Barney Doherty.
 A week ago Maggie Doherty did not know that she possessed more than few dollars all told. She was alone in the world, her mother having died a few years ago. She had had a con- stant wrestle with poverty, and she was reconciled to the belief that pow erty, hard work and cooking would be her lot all her life. She knew that her fathers brother, Barney, was lucky copper miner in Montana, but she sup posed he had forgotten all about the poor ranch cook.
 Last Friday morning there came letter from Boise City, Idaho, stating that Barney Doherty was dead and had left a large estate in Montana and Idaho. and also that among the be- quests was one of S27 ,O00 in cash for Miss Maggie Doherty of Los Angeles County Several of the womans friends in Los Angeles interested them selves in her behalf, and by telegraph ing it was found the information was reliable.
 Miss Doherty has gone to prove her identity in Idaho.

tion which MT. Kurtz had held for the two previous campaigns, in 1895, when Bushnell was first elected Governor, and in 1896, when the presidential ticket was in the field. It is claimed that the head of the State ticket, by precedent, has always named the State campaign chairman. In 1896 headed the State ticket and opposed Kurtz for chairman, but Governor Bushnell secured the reappointment then of Kurtz as chairman over the protest of Kinne.
 When the last State convention nominated Bushnell for Governor and Hanna for Senator, the latter defeated Kurtz for chairman and secured the election of Nash for chairman. That is the cause of he present fight against Hanna. It has involved all the old fights of former years that existed between what were called the Sherman and the Foster factions, and later the so-called Mckinley and the Foraker factions, until now the lines are drawn between what are termed the Hanna and the Bushnell factions, but these factional fights never included com bine with the Democrats until in the present contest. During the last State campaign it was stated that Governor Bushnell visited the State head quarters only once and then on invita- tion. It is also stated that MT. Kurtz, who was State Oil Inspector under Governor Bushnell and leader of the opposition against Hanna, conducted the State headquarters in the interest of Bushnell and of anti-Hanna candi- dates for the legislature. There were charges during the campaign that Judge Nash was conducting the cam paign for the legislative tickets and Kurtz for the State tickets.

DISGUSTED WITH BUSHNELL.
Judge Mash Scores the Governor for Ais
 Oppositon to Hanna.

COLUMBUS. O., Jan. 2.-Judge George K. Nash, chairman of the Re publican executive committee. to-day sent a letter to Governor Bushnell re- signing his position as trustee of the Ohio Asylum at Gallipolis, to which position Judge Nash had been appoint ed by Governor Bushnell. The letter is said to be very caustic, but Judge Nash will not give it out for publica- tion until after it has been received by the Governor in his mail tomorrow. On being asked for the reasons for his action, Judge Nash, tonight, said:
 On Friday, am informed by a most reliable gentleman, Governor Bushnell said that the Republican executive committee, in the recent campaign, did not do a thing to assist him as a candidate. In justice to my associates on that committee, than who a more loyal set of men, to the party ticket and to great cause, were never band ed together as well as to myself, as the chairman. l could not do otherwise than resent the insult. Again, if Gov ernor Bushnell really believes that I was disloyal to him as chairman. he must be very uneasy as to whether I will properly perform my duties as an
 
 this worry.
 T am also disgusted with the con- duct of Governor Bushnell. Before the election, in public speeches, he pre- tended that he desired MT Hanna's re- turn to the United Stac,s Senate. Since that time he has consorted with the enemies Of the Republican party to defeat the will of the people. I look upon this as square case of ob- taining votes by false pretenses."
 Judge Nash, as chairman of the State Committee, is taking an active interest in the election of Senator Hanna, and claims that the last State convention at Toledo named Mir. Hanna for Senator, as well as nomi- mated MT. Bushnell for Governor. At the last State convention in Toledo Governor Bushnell wanted Charles l..

 MONTEREY, Jan. 2-Deputy Dis trict Attorney J. A. Andresen has been over from Salinas for several days in vestigating an arson case that has re- gently excited the people in one of the outlying districts of Monterey. Mrs. Caroline Escobar, an old lady who lives alone with a little girl about three miles from Monterey, has been, she alleges, greatly annoyed of late by a man named John Pollard, who prowls about her place at night and several times insisted upon sleeping in the house. He was last there on Tuesday evening. He insisted upon her taking some dried meat he had with him, and when she refused he be- came angry, used insulting language and finally declared he would hang her to a tree and make her food for dogs.
 Soon after he left Mrs. Escobar's little companion discovered that the barn and poultry-house was on fire. and as no one was about who was able to fight the flames both buildings were consumed.
 Mrs Escobar came to Monterey the following day and swore out a com plaint against Pollard for disturbing the peace. She believes he started the fire, but did not include arson in her complaint. The man is still at large
