SPANISH PRISONERS
Positively Deny the Charges of Bad
Treatment

WASHINGTON, June 10.-J. NJ Strip
ling, United States Attorney for the South
ern District of Florida, has transmitted to
the Department of Justice a copy of the
testimony recently taken by order of Judge
Locke, of that district in the matter of the
charge made in April last to Admiral Samp-
son by Naval Cadet Needham Lee Jones'
In these charges, it is alleged that the ofli-
GERS of the Spanish prize steamer Cata-
lonia, Algonquin, Perro and Miguel Jover,
were treated in an insolent manner by the
United States Marshal and other officers
connected with his department, who was
charged further with pilfering from these
vessels. The testimony tends to show that
the charges of Cadet Jones were entirely
unfounded. BY instructions of the court,
the officers of these Spanish vessels ap-
peared before the court.
The captain of the Catalonia stated cate
gorically that the United States Marshal
did not give him orders in a summary and
insolent manner" that Cubans did not
come aboard and scatter over the ships,

There Is considerable discussion in the

say that the charge is groundless and that
the whole affair is one to get Faulkner
out of the way. On the other hand, the
friends of the woman state that Faulkner
Is undoubtedly insane, as his actions for
months past have demonstrated beyond
question. Faulkner was at one time, a
few years ago, the owner of a valuable
quicksilver mine in the north part of the
state.
Today was the time set for opening the

retail merchants of this city are arrang-
ing to attend the meeting of merchants
to be held in Los Angeles next week to
consider the recent raise in overland
rates on shipments of goods made by the

aboard the ship used any offensive
language or was guilty of any offensive
conduct.
Captain Fano of the Catalonia also stated
under oath that the United States Attorney
and Prize Attorney did not refuse to send
him an attorney as charged, nor did he hear
any offensive remark of any character re-
fiecting upon the Spaniards; that at no time
were the guards guilty of any misconduct
offensive to him or to the officers of the
ship or crew.
Manuel Morales, first officer of the Cata-

there was nothing of which he could COM

WOULD Be POSTMASTER
so HE Is STIRRING UP POLITICS
AT POMONA
Republicans and Senator Androus'
Alleged Schemes-School Com
mencements-Notes

POMONA, June 1O-Local Republican pol
itics are growing exceedingly warm and
the political situation as sized up in a Los
Angeles paper today will but add fuel to the
flames. The article is undoubtedly inspired
by the fertile brain of a would-be postmas-
ter. The statement to the effect that Sem
ator Androus would "placate" the Dreher
faction by turning over to Boss Dreher the
postoffice evidently emanated from one of
the latter gentlemans bosom friends. for
nothing could induce a surer or swifter po-
ltical downfall to the senator than move
of this kind. The so-caled Dreher faction
had its origin in the last campaign when
Messrs. Dreher and Packard endeavored
to control the Mckinley club here, and 1t
resulted in the formation of very bitter
opposition that organized under the title of
the Young Mems Republican Marching
club. which, by the way, didn't march
From this fact 1t is evident that an attempt
to "placate" would bring dire disaster to the
placater, and Senator Androus is too shrewd
politician to stir up such hornets nest.
There Is also strong anti-sate combna-
tion being formed, and the slate smashers,
through the editorial columns of the "Po-
mona Daily" prophesy all sorts of disas-
ters If they are not to be allowed to take a

REVENUE COLLECTORS
Will Be Kept Busy During the Coming
Year

WASHINGTON, June 1O.-The Bureau of
Internal Revenue is now busily engaged in
preparations for the enforcement of the
War Revenue bill, which 1t is expected will
become a law today in the same form as
passed by the House last night. Nearly
the entire work it involves will fall upon
the internal revenue service. the exceptions
being the bond issue and the coinage of the
silver in the treasury. The increased tax
upon beer that has been removed from the
brewery premises and stored will be COL
lected by assessment, as will also the addi-
tional tax Of three cents per pound imposed
on stocks of tobacco outside the factory
premises and the additional tax on cigars
and cigarettes, where such stocks of to-
bacco, snuff. cigars and cigarettes are in
excess of exempted quantities, that is to
say 10000 pounds of manufactured tobacco
and snuff and 10000 cigars and cigarettes.
While the collection of the above taxes by
assessment instead of the affixing Of addi-
tional stamps will greatly simplify the
work in this connection; yet there are many
blanks to be prepared, printed and dis
tributed within the thirty days allowed in
which those interested are required to make
returns upon their stocks on hand.
The hardest problem presented to the
commissioner, however, is the preparation
of designs and the printing of the .vast
quantity of stamps which will be required
for the schedules A and B under which
stamps are required for almost every char
acter of commercial transaction from the
ordinary banker to the first mortgage bond
of trunk line railway.
Another problem will be the devising, of
methods and regulations for the taxing and
supervising of what is known in the bill as

Poaching Suppressed and the Animals

doing better than heretofore it cannot be
said that they find the conditions favorable.
The weather is too cold in the park and the
young are threatened by wild beasts. The
other protected animals have increased and
but one case of poaching was discovered.
This was in December last when thirteen
elk were killed At least one of the poach :
ers, 1t is hoped, will be punished. Seven
bears suffered an extraordinary fate in
Death Gulch where they were found dead
by guide. He went down to cut their
claws, but in three minutes he was so over

he became very faint. 1t was very evident
that the bears had been killed by gas.

AN INSANE PRINCE
No Longer a New York Leader Of
Society


NEW YORK. June 1O.-1ne World this
morning says:
Prince Alexanderovitch Galitzin, ''de-
scended from royal ancestry" was taken
from Bellevue hospital yesterday and
lodged in a padded cell at Bloomingdale
asylum. After running the entire social
gamut from the most exclusive houses to
the coterie of Bohemia, he passed into the
land of lost minds. He went "broke" sew
eral days ago. Now he has gone mad and
is suffering from acute mania. The cause
is abject poverty.
Early in the summer of 1890, small
black haired. dark-eyed young men ar
rived from Europe and registered at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel as prince Alexander
ovitch Galitzin, St. Petersburg" He was
perfectly dressed and spoke English read
lily. He had money and made friends cas-
lily.
visit to Washington resulted in his ap-
pointment to a semi-official position at the
Russian Embassy. He was presented to
President Harrison and attended the levee
given during the winter at the White
House. He was even more popular at the
Capital than in New York, and for two
years lived quietly on an allowance re-
ceived from a sister in Moscow. During
his occasional visits to the metropolis, he
was persona grata with Consul-General
Olarvosky, who entertained him several
times at his house.
In the summer of 1894 an uncle of this
young man. named Prince Gregory Galit-
zin, arrived in this country. He was
Lieutenant-General in the Russian army,
a man of fifty, and possessed of large
wealth. He Travelled like an Indian rajah.
He acknowledged the relationship with
his nephew, but did not attach him to
his semi-royal court. After that the
pathway of the younger Prince became
smoother than at first, but finally he lost
his money and his friends.

A RUN ON A RESERVOIR
PASADENA WATER COMPANY'S
PRESIDENT EXPLAINS
East Side People Will Have to Wash
Less Frequently-Social Affairs
and Personal Mention

PASADENA, June 1O.-(Office of The
Herald 5S East Colorado street) The wa
ter company found it necessary to empty
the Villa street reservoir and clean it. AS
a result water is likely to be very scarce
within few days for the people living on
the east side. There is still much COM
plant against the water company for not
covering the reservoir long ago, which
would have rendered unnecessary the emp
tying of 1t just now. However, President
c. M. Parker of the company stated that
during the recent hot weather the supply
was subjected to a greater strain than
was ever known before. An average of
about 800 gallons per capita was absorbed
each twenty-four hours. The demand
came, too, at a time when the lack of win
ter rains had prevented the reservoir from
being filled. 1t was like run on bank,
and Mr.. Parker suggests that it can be
corrected as runs on banks are corrected,
that is, by the patrons refraning from
drawing more water than they absolutely
need.
