WAR MESSAGE IS DELAYED
Americans in Cuba Want a Few DAYS
In Which to Leave That Island.
GENERAL LEE ORDERED HOME
Congress Waits Impatiently for President NC
Kiniey's Message. Which Has Twice Been
Held Up. and Is Now Promised
For Next Monday.
GENERAL LEE ORDERED HOME

President McKinley's long. promised
message to congress on the Cuban ques-
ton has not yet been presented, and I'M
til it is no one can SAY positively what
the exact condition of affairs is. The
message has been prepared and is now
ready to be submitted, and AS near a.
can be learned it will recommend armed
intervention, but not recognition of Gu
ban independence at present.
The reason assigned for not presenting
it to congress last Tuesday or Wednesday
is that General Lee is said to have wired
from Havana that he is emharking 25u0
Americans who desire to leave Cuba
and that he cannot accomplish this until
Sunday, and that a war message before
then might cost these people their lives.
Accordingly the message has been post
poned until next Monday, when congress
is promised it shall he submitted
During the week dispatches emanating
from Madrid stated that Pope Leo had
undertaken to interfere in the interests of
peace, but they proved wholly without
foundation, and the only thing that can
prevent war is a complete and absolute
backdown on the part of Spain.
A dispatch of the highest consequence
was sent to Consul General Lee late Tues.
day night. 1t contained orders for him
to leave Havana at the earliest possible
moment.
The government has continued to buy
large supplies of powder, new ships,
guns and coal, and the entire naval and
military forces of the country are ready
to move at moments notice.

DEFINITINE.

The practice of medicine is a pur-
suit very generally known and under
stood, and so also is that of surgery.
The former includes the application
and use of medicines and drugs for the
purpose of curing, mitigating, or allie
Waiting bodily diseases; while the
functions of the latter are limited to
manual operations, usually performed
by surgical Instruments or appliances.
To allow incompetent or un-
qualified persons To administer or APP
ply medical agents, or To perform sur
gical operations, would be highly dan
gerous to the health as well as the
lives of the persons who might he
operated upon, and there is reason to
believe that lasting and serious in
lurles as well as the loss of life have
been produced by the Improper use Of
medical agents and surgical instru-
ments or appliances, 1t was the pur
pose and object Of the legislature by
ihls ACT To prevent a continuance of
deleterious practices of this nature,

class of persons who, upon eXamina-
tion, should be found competent and
qualified To follow these professional
pursuits. No such danger could pos
slbly arise from the treatment to
which the plaintiffs occupation was
confined. While it might be no bene-
tit, it could hardly be possible that Il
could result in harm or injury.
And for that reason no necessity
existed for interfering with this pur-
suit by any action on the part of the

ANGLo-AMERICAN TREATY.
It May Be Concluded Before the
Christmas Holidays.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Anglo
American Commission has been OBJ
liged to rearrange its sessions, making
them from $50 to 11:30 a. m daily. in
order TO permit Senators Fairbanks and
Faulkner and Representative Dingley
who are members, to attend their Con-
gressional duties.
After to-day's session it was stated
that the outlook for concluding a treaty
was fairly good, although it was not
yet certain that such a result could be
brought about. If q treaty is made,
the expectation is that it will be con-
cluded before the holidays
The subjects at present under consid-
Grafton, it is stated, include reciprocity
and the fisheries, and while the Com
missioners are quite guarded, the idea
is conveyed that reciprocity presents the
most serious problem for solution before
the way is clear to a treaty.
Senator Fairbanks has entertained
the distinguished British members of
the commission at the Senate end of
Capitol, and Representative Dingley
win extend a similar courtesy at the
House end
It is understood that the session to-
day brought more definite develop
ments on the important reciprocity
question than have been secured here
tofore. and that the American side pre-

A SUPERVISOR INDICTED.
Charged by the Grand Jury With
Accepting Bribe.

FRESNO, Dec. THE Grand Jury
of this county to-day brought in an in
dictment against Supervisor Charles
w. Garrett, charging him with receiv-
ing a bribe Of $50 from James K Hop
kins, president of the Hopkins Agricul-
tural Works.
The circumstances of the transaction
are alleged to be as follows In the
latter part of last July the county
bought road sprinkler for CARROTS S
district, the price being 5000. The pur-
chase was made through Garrett, and
in consideration of $50 to be paid to
him by Hopkins he bought the sprinkler
from the Hopkins Agricultural Works
Garrett claims that the money he re-
ceived from Hopkins was merely a loan
and declares that he has already re-
turned $40 of the same Hopkins has
not yet been indicted, but will be to-
morrow.
1t is reported that another Supervisor
will be indicted tomorrow on a similar
charge growing out of a transaction al
most identical with that in which Gar
rett was involved.

DEATH OF LILLIAN BRANDEs.
Preliminary Hearing Of the Father
on a Charge Of Murder.

OAKLAND, Dec. THE preliminary
hearing in the case of W. A. Brandes,
accused of the murder of his thirteen
year-old daughter, Lillian, has already
occupied nearly week before Judge
Cliff. A great deal of circumstantial
evidence has been offered, and on cir
cumstantial evidence the case must be
decided.
James S. Hardy, ex-capitalist, who
boarded at the Brandes house, has been
regarded as witness friendly to the
prisoner, but to-day he testified to his
belief that the child had been muir
dered.
Mrs. Mary Arellanes Brandes, mother
of Lillian and first wife of, Brandes,
will testify tomorrow about her ex-
husbands cruelty. She left her husband
several years ago, and the prosecution
alleges that there was no divorce, and
that if Brandes has been married to his
present wife he is a bigamist.
Ramon Anon of Santa Cruz, cousin
|of Lillian, will testify that when
Brandes went to Santa Cruz about a
year ago for the purpose of taking his
daughter to Berkeley, he said that he
would kill Lillian if she did not behave
when at home.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Navy
Department has just made public a
report from Captain Whiting, who
commanded the Monadnock on the
voyage from San Francisco to Manila,
in which the latter, after telling OF
some of the hardships endured during
the trip, pays well-deserved compli-
ment to the energy and ability of the
officers and crew which made possible
what was without doubt the most re-
markable voyage ever made by an
ironclad vessel in an emergency.
Captain Writings report, which
reached the Navy Department through
Admiral Dewey, contains details of his
trip. He especially commends the
alertness of the Monadnock's executive
officer, Lieutenant Commander G. p.
Perkins; Chief Engineer T.. F. Burg
dorff, who "stubbornly fought the in
herent weakness of engines designed
for harbor use, and successfully
forced them through prolonged voy-
age at sea- and Surgeon M. D. Steele,
who carried the ships company
through the trying ordeal without a
single fatality, though men were con-
tinually falling from heat and exhaus-
ton.
Speaking of the Jealous responses of
the officers and men to unusual calls
for duty, Captain Whiting says:
They volunteered by delegation to
coal the ship day and night at Guam,
although nearly prostrated by the heat
and confinement to which they were
subjected, both there and while en-
route. Too much praise cannot be
given the engineer force below, who
have been incessantly occupied, at
times under the most arduoas circum-
stances that can be imagined on board
ship in the tropics, doing their utmost
to keep the machinery in running or
der.
That I have succeeded in safely
bringing this monitor SO far from her
intended field of action in such a COM
paratively short time with the Nero
for a consort, is wholly and entirely
due to the most patriotic and ener-
getic support Of this ships company
of officers and men. There is no bet
ter ships company afloat, and all who
can show upon their records that they
took part in the cruise of the Monad-
mock from San Francisco to Manila
during the war with Spain deserve all
the favors that the Navy Department
and grateful country can bestow up
on them either now or in the future" I"

sented schedule telling about how
far 1t was possible to go on this sub
ject. Although the commission win
authorize no statement, intelligent OBJ
servers OF its work say that the Amer
lean proposition probably includes con-
cessions on barley, live animals, agri-
cultural products and certain ores, and
possibly also some concessions on coal.
1t is understood not to make conces-
sions on lumber. which is the item on
which the Canadian officials have been
most desirous of securing reductions.
1t is said the concessions which the
Americans are willing to give are con-
erably short of what the British
Canadian side had expected and had
even felt to be essential as an offer to
concessions already tentatively made
on some other branches of the negotia-
tions.

THREE MILLIONS INVOLVED.
An Important Mining Suit Filed
in the u. S. Circuit Court.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. There
was filed in the United States Circuit
Court to-day an important mining suit
involving property worth over $3,O00,-
600. The disputed lands are located in
Tuolumne and Mariposa Counties.
The Merced Gold Mining Company, a
Montana corporation, is the complain
ant. The accredited respondents are
David Dorward, c.. M. Babney and
Daniel Corcoran of Coulterville, Mari
posa County, and they appear as repre-
sentatives of the Rosenfelds and other
San Francisco capitalists.
Judge Morrow at once issued q re-
straining order. binding on the respond
ents until the case is tried on it's
merits. The Merced Gold Mining Com
pany is, it is understood, one Of the
corporate names of the Bigelow1 syndi-
cate of Boston, which is the owner of
the Calumet and Hecla mine and the
Boston and Montana Company. the
great rival of the Anaconda properties
in Montana
The Merced Company owns over
thirty mining claims near Coulterville
When the claims were purchased the
company also bought ditch forty five
miles long from the south fork of the
Tuolumne, in that county to Horeston
Bend, in Mariposa County, together
with water rights andthe right to the
water of the south fork of the Tuolumne
River
For time the company used steam
power to work its claims, and the re-
spondents, alleging that they consid-
cred that the ditch and its water rights
had been abandoned, filed new loca-
tions, hence the present litigation, for
with water rights and the right to the
the claims Of the Merced Company
would be practically valueless.

army. He was at the War Depart

ed from further active duty unless there
is recurrence of war, but that he will
remain on the active list of the United
States volunteer army until that army
is mustered out Of the service by the
declaration of peace. This privilege is
accorded to him in recognition of his
distinguished services, and will leave

NATIONAL GUARD.
Should be Reorganized on Same
Basis as the Army.

WASHINGTON, Dec. z. - Colonel
Marsh, Chairman of the Committee on
Militia, is determined to look after the
interests of the National Guard, and
will in the near future either take up
a bill which he introduced at the last
session for the reorganization of the
National Guard or draft new one
which will conform with the changes
to be made in the formation of the reg
ular army.
He says that his bill meets all the
exigencies of the occasion, but before
taking any action he prefers to wait
until the meeting on December 10Th at
Milwaukee of those who are interested
in the welfare of the National Guard
to learn If they have any suggestions
to make, and also to wait until Con-
gress has provided for an increase in
the regular army.
Colonel Marsh is a firm believer in
the theory that the militia should be
organized on the same basis as the
army. SO as to avoid in the future any
mistakes and drawbacks which were
met with during the war just ended.
