when a young woman, tailoring under
great excitement and without wraps
or hat rushed into the Green Harbor

Havana. Jan. 1T has been rumored
since yesterday. that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee

Gillette maintained that the arguments

SOLDIERS AS ODD FELLOWS. A Permanent Organization Is Eff fected Among the Volunteer
 Troops From Idaho.

By special legislation the volunteers of the United States army can now embrace the brotherhood of the Odd Fellows As sociation and become active members, with all the privileges and benefits de- rived from the usual membership roll.
 A committee was appointed by the as- sociation of this city to make a canvass of the entire volunteer force now sta toned at Camp Merritt for the purpose of organizing separate branches of the so- ciety in each regiment. In the further ance of this object the Idaho regiment was visited last evening and a perma- net organization effected among the boys. Those who were elected to govern and control the interests of the new branch society are as follows: President D. L. Badley, sergeant major; vice-president. Brother Stephenson, chaplain of the Idaho regiment; secretary, Brother Ribb- lett: treasurer, Brother Kipp; guardian, Brother Ferguson; warden, Sergeant Gill man.
 These officers will immediately resolve themselves into a special committee for the purpose of making a thorough can vaSS of the members of the regiment pre- paratory to the enrolment of the boys as members of the society. The bylaws of the new organization will be effected on the transports which will sail shortly for Manila. At Honolulu the committee will forward it's report to the permanent or ganiZing committee of this city which will be submitted and acted upon by the Odd Fellows Association proper.
 It is the intention of the home organiza- ton to petition the leading power of the Odd Fellows Society in the United States to issue special legislation for the organ izing of branch lodges of the society at Manila upon the arrival of the troops
 Members of the Rebecca Lodge will commence the work of distributing iden- tification badges among the troops this evening, which will serve as a means of identifying those members of the new so- Ciety who may fall in battle.
The San Francisco call., 1898-06-15

the Democratic party of San Fran pacifiers assumes the proportions of moral certainty.
 Last nights meeting demonstrated the weakness of the new organization to the entire satisfaction of those who are shrewd enough to read between the lines. The committee has been in ex- istence for more than two weeks and has held two meetings, yet it has not yet completed its organization and has taken no steps toward the very neces- sary work of directing the organiza- tion of the party preliminary to the campaign that is already begun. The committee is in the position of the commander-in-ch of a mutinous army. He is afraid to issue orders be- cause he knows they will not be obeyed, and because he knows that the mere fact of disobedience would lay bare his weakness.
 In the meantime something must be done to keep up the appearance of strength, and this was the intent of last nights proceedings. After call ing the meeting to order Chairman Dunn announced that he was ready to name the various committees called for at the meeting held last Friday night, with a single exception. This excep- tion was the committee on district or ganiZation, the most important of all of the subcommittees. Dunn said that he had not had time to give the matter the consideration 1t deserved, but that if the appointment of the committee was insisted upon he was prepared to

GIVES JUDGMENT IN
 FAVOR OF THE CITY
THE FIDELITY AND DEPOSIT
 COMPANY LOSES.
It Must Pay the Amount of It's Lia- bility Upon the Bond of Widber,
 the Defaulting Treasurer.

Judge Belcher yesterday rendered de- cfsion in favor of the city and county in the action instituted against the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland to re- cover $10o00O, the amount of the liability of the surety company upon the bond of Augustus c. Widber. the defaulting City Treasurer Despite the fact that all the money in the treasury had not been counted as the law directed, the court held that the company was responsible for the full amount of the bond.
 During the trial of the case the defend ant corporation sought to establish the fact that the city and county was In some extent responsible for the large defalca- ton by reason that the funds had not been counted as the law stated that they should be, but Judge Belcher held that the fact stated was no defense to the ac- tion brought by the city and county.
 As the Fidelity and Deposit Company had stated that 1t would take no appeal from the judgment rendered by Judge Belcher 1t will in all probability, pay the amount of the bond-$100 ,000-to the city and county at once. Whether or not any action will be taken against Widber per sonally by the Fidelity and Deposit Com pany in an endeavor to recover portion of the amount for which 1t has been held liable is not as yet known, but as the de- faulting Treasurer has considerable property of value it is thought that some effort will be made to get judgment against him.
