Spanish Authorities VIII ALLOW It Co
Be Landed at Matanzas.
Washington, Sept. 27.-A statement
was issued by the war department to-
night that the Cuban commission had
effected an arrangement with the Span
ish authorities whereby the steamer
Comal, carrying a cargo Of supplies for
the suffering people Of Cuba, would be
permitted to land her cargo at Matan-
zas free of duty. This indicates the
adjustment of question that promised
for several days to become serioua
The Spanish authorities still maintain
ing Spain's right Of sovereignty over
the island of Cuba, refused to permit
the Comal to land ct Havana without
the imposition upon her cargo OF duties
amounting to 100000. In addition to
this, the vessels captain was fined for
disregarding some port regulations un-
known to him.
Against the proceeding the Ameri-
can commission strongly protested, and
demanded the free importation OF the
Comal's cargo of supplies. 1t was
pointed out to the Spanish that the
mission of the vessel was purely chari-
table, and that, in any event, the posi-
tion assumed by the Spanish officials
was untenable, as it was not in accord
ance with the provisions of the proto.
col signed in this city by Ambassador
Cambon i'll the name of Spain. The
incident resulted in an exchange be-
tween the American commission and
the Spanish officials of lively notes,
and the question was finally referred
to Washington for adjustment. The
arrangement made effects the Comal
only. She is now at Key West. and
will sail for Matanzas probably tonight
or tomorrow,

 The more feasible projectsis to bring the team of the University of Wisconsin out for the winter months. That eleven has met the best of the middle West and has come off the champion. Before Thanks giving day negotiations were pending be- tween that college and the University of California for a game in San Francisco on Christmas.

 :.....: FOR THE EAST. The University of Wisconsin Team :. May Come to This City and >s Play Berkeley and the Olympics.

There are a number of winter football projects afloat, some of which should be realized before the end of the year. The most bizarre of all is the intention of Howard P. Taylor to take an AlI-Califor- mia team East to play with representa- tive college teams in New York on Christ mas and New Years days.
 Taylor has been giving considerable labor time and attention to the forma- tion of California eleven which would represent the pick of the football athletes of the coast. He has his men selected and conditions made with the railroad to transport the chosen few to the other end of the. continent, if the plan prove feas- ible. The All-California team of Taylor's selection will be made up as follows: Hobbs, center; Smith and Fickert, guards:

DUNN GETS
 \ JUDGMENT
 FOR LIBEL HearSt'S Default Was
 Entered. AN EXAMINER" PRIZE FIGHT MADE THE PLAINTIFF PARTY TO AN ILLEGAL BOUT. He Objected and Filed Suit for Darn- ages-Hearst Pays No At
 tention. to Legal
 Service.

A default judgment in favor of ex-Sen- ator w. J. Dunn and against W. R. Hearst. proprietor of the Examiner, for damages in the sum of $25, 900 for libel, was entered in the Superior Court yesterday.
 Tn the summer of 1897 a bare-knuckle fight took place, or at least was alleged by the Examiner to have taken place, somewhere in the wilds of San Mateo County That paper, extravagant as us- ual in sensational word painting, pictured the pugilistic contest as an exciting, gory event. It had the gladiators of the arena, with iron hands uncovered. struggling for supremacy. It was the fight of the cent ury, if the description was to be relied upon. Outside the ropes the shouting mul- titude surged, inside the blows fell thick and fast: the duck, the side step, the swing the jab, were there, and all the while the field ran blood. And by way of f,irther description, if not comment, in the report it was stated that Senator | a.... .vted as tmekeeper at the battle, his watch and call marking the opening and the close of each round.
 On October Il of 1897 a suit was filed against Hearst by MT. Dunn for S25 900 damages for libel. MT. Dunn was not present at the fight, as stated by the Elk aminer, and in fact was miles away, at- tending to his various duties. This fact he established Dy prepOnuerdHce Ol eVl- dence, and when the Examiner was made aware that MT. Dunn did not propose to let the matter drop, it attempted to adjust it out of the courts, but withou success. Then the attorney representing the plain tiff in the action, as did many others who had been wronged by the Examiner, anx- iously awaited the return of Hearst. Hearst finally returned and in the early part of last month service was made on him and the suit then began to run. Fen days was given. the proprietor of the Ex- aminer to plead, but he evidently forgot it, or did not think 1t worth the trouble, with the result that yesterday Judgment for the amount named was entered against him. Through some legal tech nicality Hearst may succeed in setting the default aside and fighting the case out in court, at least when he sees that time for delay is at an end be will make an effort to reduce the amount of the judgment in a legal fight.
 MT. Dunn in whose favor he judgment was entered, is not averse to having his name mentioned as patron of any sport that bears the ring of a legal sport. or legitimate pastime. but when he was men, toned as the timekeeper in a contest tacitly prohibited by the laws of the com monwealth he objected, with the result given.

 The secretary said that the sum of s4631 was remitted monthly to Sacramen- to to be applied to the interest and sink ing fund account.

Of this sum $7000 represented premiums.

 corning the State of the funds. the pay ment of interest or the redemption of bonds.
 Do you mean to say,'' said General Dickinson, that you are not advised by the Treasurer or Controller monthly as to the amount of the credit of the sinking fund for the depot bonds?"
 We simply keep an account of the money transferred to the State Treas urer,'' was MT. Keegan's reply.
 To account for the discrepancy between $301 ,015 forwarded by the commission, and $202, ,525, reported by the Treasurer as the amount in the treasury, The Call last night wired to Sacramento for a state ment from the Treasurer. The reply shows that there is more money to the credit of the sinking fund than even the Harbor Commissioner report accounts for.
 The statement telegraphed to The Call sets forth that the cash balance in the fund Is $32,525 65; United States bonds, S170,000. Two payments on account of in- terest on State bonds, and on bonds pur- chased amount to S2S4 ,439 35. The trans fers from the Harbor Commissioners to the Treasurer to June 30 1S9S-sixty-five months at S4631 monthly-amount to $301- 015 The interest on S170000 United States bonds, s16,000; total, s317 ,015.
 The difference between the transfers and interest received amounting to S317- 015, and payment on account of bond in- terest and bonds purchased, amounting to $284 ,439 35; represents the balance in the depot fund June 30, 1S9S-that is $32- 525 65 cash.

Chairman Triplett Explains About
 Casting Votes in the Prima-
To the Editor of the GRAPHIC.
riies

To the Editor of the GRAPHIC.
 I wish to correct an impression which seems to have been created by pernicious persons in the minds of many voters in Jefferson county re- garding the casting of ballots at election. It has been stated that the ticket printed by the election com missioners tor, in case of primaries, by the county central committed would have to be voted as printed This is entirely untrue and so unreal sonable that it is almost ridiculous. The commissioners, or the central committee, are governed by section 2625 in Sandell & Hill's Digest of the Statutes of Arkansas. That section authorizes them to print tickets of all the candidates regularly nomi- mated for county offices. In prima- ries, the nomination is regular when the candidate has paid the sum as- eessed against him by the central committee. The names of these can didates are placed on the tickets and under the list of candidates for each office is left blank line, so that the voter can, if desired, mark out each of the names on the ticket and write in the name of the person for whom he wishes to vote. And the vote would be as legal as if the name was printed on the ticket. Where there is more than one to be elected, as in the case of magistrate, the voter can scratch out as many names as he wishes all on the ticket and write in the names of the persons for whom he wishes to vote. The printed tick ct is used for the benefit of the voter, so that he will not have to write the names of the persons for whom he wishes to vote, and a voter may scratch all the names on the ticket and write others.
 The central committee does not wish in any way to interfere with the casting of ballots at the election and has never taken the position that only votes for candidates on the ticket would be legal.
