soon interVcnes.
The siege OF Santiago had lasted two
weeks ard was remarkable in many
respects and in none more than the
heavy percentage of loss through
daath, wounds or sickness of the sol
diers and sailors engaged on both
sides.
Looking back over the record of
these two weeks, it is seen that near

drowned or killed by shell and flame
and that an untold number of Spanish
soldiers have died in the trenches Of
Santiago.

questioned about the matter they all four
stated that they did not know anything
about the contemplated break, and they
will not give away any information con-
cerning the conspirators. Another result
of the break will be to cause the authori-
ties to have second wall of concrete laid
inside of that cut through. A network of
iron bars between the two walls may also
be added.
The rainstorm was of short duration and
this morning opened with stiff north
wind. which is just sweeping over this part
of the country and drying UP what little
moisture the shower of Thursday brought
The rainfall for the storm amounted to
about 40 of an inch, and this will do a
world of good to the growing grain il the
present wind does not continue too long.
The authorities of this county are about
tired of waiting for settlement of the
division of property owned by the old coun-
ty of San Bernardino when the county was
divided. The indications are that some ex-
traordinary steps will be taken soon to
have the question brought to a settlement.
Thus far the case has cost whole lot of
money and the taxpayers are beginning to
get tired of paying for lawyers and ex-
pert witnesses.

A Confidence Game

RIVERSIDE, March 1l.-One of the
smoothest tricks in the confidence line
that has ever been worked in this city was
carried out last Tuesday by slick rascal
who went to the nursery house of p. Hall
and there hired a number of rare plants
for reception, as he said, at the home OF
Charles Woods, on the East Side. Shortly
afterward transfer wagon drove up and
took the plants to the house of Woods
where the man had arrived. Once there
he told Mrs. Woods that he wanted to leave
the plants at her house while he went and
hunted up the party who had ordered the
plants. In short time the fellow re-
turned and told Mrs. Woods that the
plants did not suit his customer and that
rather than ship them back to Los An
geles he would sell them at great sacri-
fice. Mrs. Woods bought the plants and
the man skipped. Hall hunted up his
missing plants the next day, and the story
was out, but the thief has not been caught
although the officers are after him.

BLAINE'S BOY
Is Not Convinced That Marriage Is a
Failure

NEW YORK, March LIT is reported
here that James G. Blaine, son of the late
James G. Blaine, is engaged to be married
to Miss Kuhne Beveridge, who has
achieved a reputation as sculptor and is
now in Paris with her mother. Rumor has
it that the wedding will take place upon
Miss Beveridge's return to this country
next month
Mr.. Blaine, who is employed as a re-
porter on one of the morning newspapers
of this city, excused himself from discuss
ing the report.
Mr.. Blaine was married some years ago
to Miss Marie Nevins, who was granted
divorce by Judge Thomas of Deadwood,
S. D.. in 1889, and awarded the custody of
their son. She afterwards married Dr.
w. T. Bull of this city. Miss Kuhne Bev-
eridge is a daughter of p j. Beveridge
and granddaughter of former Governor
Beveridge of Illinois. She first became
known to the public as sculptor when
in 1892, she modelled the bust of former
President Cleveland and of Joseph JEFF
ferson, the actor Her marriage, October
25, 1894. at midnight in Indianapolis, to
Charles Coghlan caused much talk year
later Miss Beveridge secured a divorce
from the actor and resumed her maiden
name.
