Spanish Priests Are Gone
Cavite has Its old church, much the
same In appearance az the old missions OF
California. but the Spanish priest is not
there. He, with the balance Of the Span
ish population, has retreate6 to Manila,

Quoted by natives. The church. like the
MISSIONS shows marks Of old age and
neglect. and In these respects IL fully up to

Village Of San Rogue
Cavite is connected with the mainland
by a strip Of land something over a
quarter Of a mile in length and varying
from forty to one hundred and fifty feet
in length, and at the further end 10 the
villge Of San Rogue. This is In all respects
a native town, with thatched houses, mar
row lanes for streets and a market where
Everything used by the Inhabitants is Of
fered for sale under q single big thatched
roof, covering a space some hundred and
fifty feet square. San Rogue also has its
old church, but 1t Is less pretentious than
the one Of Cavite, although vieing with It
for an appearance Of neglect and age. That
|of Cavite Is the older. but the difference IN
age could not be TOLD by appearance.

DETECTIVES MYSTERY
The Case Of Annie Seller Puzzle,
Colossal Intellects

The Case Of Annie Setter Puzzles
Colossal Intellects
A complaint charging young woman
named Annie Setter with grand larceny was
filed in Justice Morrison's court yesterday,
Detective Flammer swearing to the docu-
ment. The examination was set for this
morning at 1890 o'clock. A. ]. Bradish,
chief Of the detective department, at first
positively refused to give any details con-
cerning the nature Of the woman's alleged
offense, further than to admit. when the
facts were stated to him, that the woman
Is charged with having taken over $500 from
the residence Of Mrs. Isaac Kenfedy at 1914
Orange street, where she had formerly been
employed. The further details, reluctantly
admitted by the chief Of the police detective
department were to the effect that Mrs.
Kennedy and the Setter woman went out
and that when Mrs. Kennedy returned to
the house she found the girl had preceded
her there and the money was missing.
Mr.. Kennedy, who IS the president of the
Lloyd-scovel Iron company OF s21 North
Los Angeles street, was seen at his resi-
dence last evening and asked regarding the
details Of the case. He and his wife de-
clined to tell anything concerning the af-
fair. In answer TO an inquiry. they denied
that the police detectives had counseled
them to refuse to taik about the case. This
admonition on the part of police detectives
is Of such common occurrences that the
query was but natural. since there was no
cause for the details Of the case being With
held. inasmuch a. the alleged culprit lids
been arrested and the complaint He'd
against her.

PARKER OF THE PUSH
SAID TO HAVE USED THREATS
TOWARD DELEGATES
Rumor Says He Is. Making Jim Rives'
Eight-He Denies and Talks
Back

A. story is current in political circles that
Walter B. x. Parker, who Is credited by
the Times with being the head Of the Re
publican push in this city and county and
the sponsor for James Rives of Downey In
his race for the nomination for district at
,orney, has gone to the extent Of threaten
ing certain delegates with bodily harm in
case they refused to stand In" for Reeves.
The rumor was given color yesterday af-
ternoon by the fact that certain men who
expect to be delegates 10 the Republican
county convention called on Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Williams for the purpose.
it was saic, Of invoking the law against
Parker.
Mr.. Williams refused, to either affirm or
deny the story yesterday afternoon, but
last night Mr.. Parker denied the story
in toto. ...
"You can say for me-" said he. that the
charge OF the Times that am at the head
Of the push Is all right, 30 far as am
concerned. was not aware that was
leading any faction. either push or pull,
but II the Times chooses 10 so call the gen.
tlemen with whom am more or less as
ISOLATED politically guess We can stand 1t.
''Its true I'm in politics and may say
without egotsm that since have been ip
politics have won Aery many more fights
than has the Times. In fact, II I wanted
to win Mr.. Rives' fight the opposition Of
the Times would be what would 80 for
first.
1.-THE truth is this: have absolutely
nothing to do With Mr.. Rives' candidacy CT
with that of any other man on the county
ticket. I have never asked prospective
delegate 10 the coming county convention
to vote for Rives or anyone else. I have
never received cent from any candidate
and never will receive one. Have threat
ened no one and never expect to threaten
anyone In the interest of any candidate.
''While will do all in my power to elect
the Republican county ticket, am. as a
member Of the Republican state executive
committee, devoting my energies political
ly to Mr.. Cages campaign.
$50 long as the Times contents itself with
calling me the head Of the 'ptsnh' have
nothing to complain of. But II I am charged
with threatening anybody in the interest
of any candidate I shall certainly object.
II know absolutely nothing about this
rumor, cannot understand how 1t started
but declare 1t false in every particular"
It was impossible to learn the name OF
the would-be delegate Parker is said to
have threatened, other thaY that he is
called Mr.. Smith. AS there are number
Of gentlemen by that name who are seek
ing to be delegates to the coming Repub-
lican county convention, 1t was impossible
last night to locate the one referred to by
the parties who claim the threats OF
bodily harm were made.

Of $9oo, 0,000 II he will examine the rec
ord he will discover that ! denounced that
bond issue and denounced the method
adopted for the sale Of the bonds. And
reiterate the statement that, In my opin-
ion, the recent Republican bond issue was
unnecessary, and could not have become
necessary before the next session Of the
present congress, when, IL the war con-
tinued, It might or might not be necessary
to issue the bonds.
Bonds have been sold to the amount of
$500, ,000.0 900 within the last sixty days, and
1t will be found when the congress assem-
bles In December next that there will be
an available surplus in the treasury Of
nearly, II not quite, $500. .0o0, ,0o0 with the
power vested in the president to raise $780, :
100000 dollars additional on temporary Ger
tiflcates drawn against the revenue expect
ed during the present fiscal year from the
war tax.
Railroad Influence
Mr.. Gage complains Of my statement to
the effect that the late Republican state
convention was dominated by railroad In
fiuence, and asks upon what authority 1
make that statement. I made the state
metn largely upon observation; upon the
reported notorious liberanty OF the rail-
road company with respect to the trans
portation Of delegates and others to attend
the convention; upon the statements made
by leading Republican newspapers of CAL
ifornia (notably the San Francisco CalD
during the three weeks preceding the meet
ing OF the convention; upon the fact that
every person known to be the choice Of the
Southern Pacific company for nomination
was duly nominated by the convention, and
upon the fact that the entire Republican
state ticket, including all candidates for
state offices, all candidates for the offices
Of railroad commissioner, members Of the
board Of equalization and representatives
In congress. was selected and publicly an.
nounced before the convention had consid-
cred the nomination Of any candidate for
any office.
II Mr.. Gage will look to the columns of
the San Francisco Call Of August "a, 1898,
published early on that morning and long
before the convention. had considered any
candidate for office), he will find the en-
tire ticket as afterwards nominated, duly
published. Where did the Call get the
ticket? JAMES G. MAGUIRE.
