Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug. "A Key West special to the Herald says: No resist ance will be offered by the inhabitants of Cardenas if an attack Is made by the United States navy. This assurance has been sent Lieutenant Newcomb, commanding the gunboat Hudson, on blockade duty between Matanzas and Cardenas. which arrived here to-day with the Spanish sloop Christina in tow. The residents of Cardenas, as an earnest of their desire that Americans shall take possession, have even offered to send to the commander of the Hud- son the military expert who placed the mines in the harbor whenever 1t Is de- sired to remove them.
 The Hudson last Friday morning, while steaming toward Cardenas, saw a Spanish gunboat going toward Cayo Piedras Catching sight of the Hudson, the gunboat disappeared behind point of land It was afterward aScertained that when the gunboat was intercepted she was making for Cayo Piedras light house. which had been taken possession of by four insurgents, who had hoisted the Cuban flag over the light When these refugees were taken on board the Hudson they gave the officers much valuable information. They report great distress at Cardenas. Provisions are scarce, and what little food Is there is beyond the reach of any except the wealthy Many inhabitants are starv- ing The Spanish troops have been nearly all withdrawn from the city and sent to Havana.

OFFICIALS SEARCH FOR
 EVIDENCE OF ARSON
Suspicious Circumstances Surround ing the Saturday Con1agration
 in Sausalito.

SAUSALITO. Aug. 7.-The town author ities and the insurance agents are mak- ing a thorough investigation of the cir cumstances surrounding the fire which destroyed much valuable property and came near destroying the whole water front yesterday morning.
 George Ryan, A. Lawrence's bookkeep- CT. was one of the first at the fire. He says 1t originated in some empty boxes and barrels piled against the side of the building. and the blaze was bright enough at the time to show the interior of the store unharmed. The fire might then have been extinguisned If water had been plen- tiful. a fact that shows the lamentable situation should fire start In the more thickly populated portion of the town.
 About q month ago Lawrence's store was filled with straw soaked in kerosene oil and a lighted candle placed so that the straw would ignite when the candle bu,r ed low Bookkeeper RJan's timely ar rival prevented a conflagration. When this occurred Lawrence, his wife and chill dren were at a ball. held during the Por- tuguese Pentecost.
 Singularly enough, Lawrence went to San Francisco on Friday evening and did not return until the 3:20 p. m. boat left the metropolis yesterday. An attempt was made to burn him out previous to the attempt of a month ago, and such ugly rumors were circulated that the Lancashire Fire Insurance Company took its risk off his property. He is said to have been burned out once before while carrying a heavy insurance. His fnsur- ance in this instance is admitted by him. self to have been 5000 on a STOOD stock.
 The circumstances of the case, In addf- ton to the death of Manuel Souza Bet tencourte and the loss of so much prop erty by others, have aroused the author ities to diligent efforts toward discovering whether or not arson has been commit ted, and if so who is to blame.

EX.EMPRESS
 EUGENE ILL Her Condition Reported
 Serious. NEARING THE END OF LIFE FOR YEARS AN EXILE FROM HER NATIVE LAND. Career of the Talented Woman Whose Beauty and Mental Gifts Won the Heart of the Third
 Napoleon.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

 Eugenie, ex-Empress of the French and widow of Louis Napoleon, Is the daughter of Dona Maria Kirkpatrick of Closeburn, Dumfrieshire, Countess Dowager de Montijo, whose father was English Consul at Malaga at the per iod of rc~ marriage with the Count de Montijo, an officer in the Spanish army. On the death of the Count de Monti1o his widow was left a fortune adequate to the maintenance of the position of herself and two daughters. one of whom married the Duke of Alba and Berwick.
 For Eugenie, the Countess Teba, a higher destiny was reserved. In 1851, accompanied by her mother she paid a long visit to Paris. where, at the various entertainments given at the Tuileries, she was distinguished by the df~nity and elegance of her demeanor and by her great personal beauty, of the aristocratic English rather than the Spanish style. Her mental gifts were not less attractive.
 Shortly after the opposition of higher northern power had put an end to the idea of a union between Elm
 
 Carolawasa of Sweden he a"nrised the Council of Ministers of his intended marriage with the daughter of the Countess Montijo, measure which ex- cited some disapproval among them and even led to their temporary with drawal from office. During the short time that intervened between the an- nouncement of the approaching event and its realization Countess Teba and her mother took up their abode in the Palace d'Elysee. The marriage was celebrated with much magnificence on January 29, 1853, at Notre Dame, the Empress then being In her twenty third year. On March 16, 1856, she be- came the mother of an heir to the house of Bonaparte.
 Up to the outbreak of the war be- tween France and Germany her life was comparatively uneventful, being passed chiefly In the ordinary routine declared and Emperor Napoleon took the field the Empress was ap- pointed regent (July 27, 187o). Imme- diately after the revolution In Paris. on September 4, she hastily left the TuilerieS and escaped from France, landing five days later at Ryde in the Isle of Wight. and shortly afterward joining the Prince Imperial at Hast ings Camden House, at Chiselhurst, was subsequently, selected as a resi- dence for the imperial exiles. In the following year the Empress went to Spain on a visit to her mother.
 Emperor Napoleon III died at Chiselhurst on January g. 187. and in 1879 the Prince Imperial, who had ac- companied the English army in the Zulu war. was killed. His body was brought to England and buried at Chiselhurst, and on the following year. on the anniversary of her sons death, Ill the fatal spot. In 1881 she removed from Camden House to the Farnborough estate in Hampshire, close to the bor- ders of the County of Surrey.

Dewey to Be Retained at the Asiatic Station - Assignment of the
 Other Commanders Uncertain.

NEW YORK, Aug. "A Washing to special to the Herald says: Secre- tary Long has announced that as soon as the war Is ended all old stations will be reformed Rear Admiral Dewey will remain in command of the Asiatic squadron because of his acquaintance with the Philippine problem and his general ability. Commodore Howell who was brought home from the Flu ropean station, may. return there as ommander-in- chief of a strong force. This leaves Rear Admiral Sampson, Commodore Watson and Commodore Schley to be provided for.
 Rear Admiral Sampson will undoubt- edl- be kept arioat either in command of the Northern or European station, and command of the Pacific station will go to either Commodore Watson or Commodore Schley, with the chances greatly in the formers favor. Com modore Schley may possibly return to his old duty as chairman of the Light house Board.

STUFFING TO BE ATTEMPTED
BOSS" CONTROLS ELECTION
 OFFICERS.
Honest Republicans of Santa Clara County Need to Be Alert at the Polls on Wednes-
 day.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.


 SAN JOSE. Aug. 7.-An is hustle in the Req camp these days and active preparations are under way to capture the primaries next Wednesday. The "boss" has given his lieutenants ex- plicit instructions, and if necessary they will attempt to stuff the ballot boxes to carry the day The First and Fourth wards of this city will be the battle ground, and 1t is there the Rea forces are hard at work.
 The election officers appointed for the polls in this city are all Req men. This will give the gang an unequal advan- tage over the better element of the peo- pie, but the latter. aided by the Good Government Club, are determined to overcome the obstacles placed In their way. If necessary force will be used to insure a fair election.
 The following list of election officers. appointed at "Boss' Rea's dictat on, shows how the gang has captured the election booths:
 First WsTd-Jqdge; HenTy yo,DE WelGh; in, daughter in the schools and is ready to do the gangs bidding.
 Second Ward-Judge. George W. Lee; inspector, F. C. Jacobs. Lee was 1ani-
 
 Third Ward-Judge, William Dreisch- meyer; inspector. C. A. Clark.
 Fourth Ward-Judge, J. l. Bradley; in spector, Joseph F. Villar, Bradley is finance clerk to the Board of Supervisors and Villar the manager of the California Club. where all political schemes are matched.
 From this list 1t will be seen that un- less the good citizens turn out on the day of the rimaries and take off their coats the gang will have things its own way. It is in the First and Fourth that the election will be hottest. An attempt will be made to steal these two wards. The Democratic members of the gang have been told to turn out and vote and all sorts of promises have been made to ret the indeDendent and Well-meaning Republicans into line. So sure is Req of being able to control this territory that he had the number of delegates in each of these wards in creased. By getting these wards 1t Is proposed to offset the opposition that has arisen to the boss at Santa Clara and other suburbs. There are 165 dele gates in the county convention, and with the First and Fourth wards solid Req will have twenty-four deleeates to start with. Of the 165 votes In the con vention 107 are from outside precincts. The gang figures on getting the sixty five in the city and enough from the outside districts to give a majority.
 Outside of the city the fight will be a hard one. The Good Government Club has organized every precinct and the members will make a gallant nght to f~oe the Republican party from cor ruption and boss rule. To offset the good influences aroused by the o-~eniz- ation the county funds are beino used Roads are being built, bridges con- and all sorts of count work bel done by the different Supervisors and those who are opposed to Req and his methods are being sought and given Bv this means 1t Is pro- posed to reconcile the dissenters and get them into line to vote.
