the president to recall him came to the
secretary of the state Saturday through a

response to the presidents refusal to
consider General Lees recall, the Madrid

and this fact was duly cabled to the sec

 Monday night there is to be meeting at the California Hotel at which de tails will be arranged. The proper committees once appointed, an execu- tive staff at work, and the money will come pouring in. Such small sum is needed that if any embarrassment. arise 1t will be due to surplus Yet no gen. erous impulse IS to be checked by this possibility. The sum asked will repre- sent the actual and pressing necessity. It has been estimated that for the care of the California volunteers there must be provided little more than Soooo. This will be for the present volunteers. But soldiers of the regular army are al- ready in the South, having gone from this post. Although they came from various parts of the Union, California now regards them as her own. And there IS no telling what the future may hold. It may be that there will be an- other call and more taken to the front
 Above all 1t must be remembered that the red cross gathers under its folds no element of selhshness. Wherever there are men in pain it waves for all. Wherever there is opportunity to bring a cup of cold water to fevered lips the red cross is the emblem. So there is no need to think that because the sum specifically called for is small there should be laxity of effort. No amount that could be raised would be in any

lock her up on a charge of insanity. She was then taken to the Receiving Hospital and thrown in a padded cell. A friend, learning of her sad predica> ment, at once communicated with Rabbi Nieto with the result that he lost no time in reaching the hospital.
 After a short conversation with the woman he became convicted that she was sane and he sent for Wallace Wise, his attorney They both declared that it was an outrage to have locked the woman up and at once proceeded to secure her release. Meeting .Dr. Lus- tig, one of the Commissioners of 1n- sanity, they told him of the action of Judge Coffey and requested him to have a talk with Mrs. Grainer. The doctor subsequently, visited the hospital, and, after a short conversation with the woman, gave as his opinion that she was sane. He then ordered the hospi- tai authorities to release her.
 Amid many exclamations of joy Mrs. Grainer left the hospital after fre- ouently thanking Rabbi Nieto and Dr. Lustig for their efforts in securing her release.
 Rabbi Nieto has known the woman for nearly five years, and during that time he says he never discovered any symptoms of insanity. He strongly believes that her relatives are doing all in their power to have her com mitted to the insane asylum in the hope of getting possession of the estate left by her husband.

Policemen Ellis and Shaw yesterday ar rested five bunko men while in the act of robbing a gullible stranger in a water front saloon.

Hartman was dressed as a ''hoosier,' and when asked his occupation he modestly re- marked that he was a farmer"
 Shortly after the men were arrested another of the gang. who managed to elude the policemen, visited the office of Attorney Arthur Mack and gave him S125 in gold as bail money for his imprisoned companions.
 The attorney at once sought Judge Low, who was holding court at the time. and informed him that he was ready to furnish bail for the five bunko men, For some unexplained reason Low set their bail at the ridiculously small amount of $25 each, notwithstanding, it is claimed. that the arresting officers had informed him of the dangerous character of the men. AS the clerk of the court was not present, Judge Low consented to take the geant of the City Prison. Tn the mean time Attorney Mack had filled out the requisite orders of release and induced Judge Low to sign them.
 Mack at once started for the harbor station, intending to present the orders for the discharge of the prisoners Shortly after he left Judge Lows court the bunko men were transferred to the city prison. Desk Sergeant Bidwill, acting under in-

 They will go willingly, eagerly, and A know that the love of the State that sends them forth will follow them to bivouac and battlefield, may reach them as they lie in distant hospitals, and will inspire countless prayers for their safe return.

 Yesterday the Grand Parlor of Ma tive Sons in session at Nevada City passed a resolution favoring the work of the Sanitary Commission. That the resolution carried an appropriation of $Ioo was pleasant incident It was an earnest of sincerity. It meant more than words alone. The Native Sons are not only in sympathy with the movement, but they realize that many of their own number wifi go to the front, and they do not shrink from the possibility that some may never return.
 In this city the red cross has nothing but friends. Everybody is anxious to help the cause along, and nothing but the exact opportunity is lacking.

 Some time ago the husband of Mrs Grainer died. leaving her an estate valued at several thousand dollars. She employed Attorney Peixotto to assist her in getting possession of the estate and according to her story she gave him $500 as a retainer.
 Several relatives of the old woman, becoming alarmed at what they termed her "extravagance." petitioned Judge Coffey to declare her incompetent and also to appoint guardian over her.
 Yesterday the matter was heard, and as the unfortunate woman realized that an effort was being made to job" her, as she expressed it, she became ex- cited and proceeded to denounce the pe- titioners.

MONEY AND
 HOW TO GET TIT. The California Red Cross Will Need $9OOO to
 Start With.
Twelve Ambulances, $35O

This is the estimate furnished by Dr. Hopkins, surgeon general of California, and by Dr.. Gallwey, his right-hand man, of the requirements of the Sani- tary Corps of California, when, within the next few days, the State shall be called upon to furnish 40O0 men to the Government
 Every dollar of this 5000 Is as ab- solute a necessity for the California soldiers as are the guns with which they are provided. But this Spanish war, coming on so unexpectedly after thirty years and more of peace, finds the Sanitary Corps altogether unpre- pared.
 Dr. Hopkins says: We are on a magnificent peace footing. When it comes to real war we lack just 5000 worth of necessities. The National Gov ernment-though organized on excel lent prfncipes-is unable to provide for so great an emergency If our men leave California tomorrow they leave unprovided with proper hospital SUD- plies. They go to take part in a campaign where disease will be more disastrous than bullets, and we of the Sanitary Corps accompany them knowing. that when the sudden call is made for our services, we shall be handicapped by lack of the ammuni- tion with which surgeons fight"

NATIVE SONS
 PLEDGE SUPPORT.
The Red Cross League of Vital Importance to
 the Order.

NEVADA CITY, April 27.-The Ma tive Sons of the Golden West are for war. The ten thousand members of the order, through their representatives who are here as delegates to the Grand Parlor, have made a public declaration of their patriotism and declared their willingness and readiness to shed their blood for the flag of their country. This was day long to be remembered in the history of the order because it was devoted almost wholly to the expression of sentiments that breathed of love of country and the desire to let the world know that the Native Sons of Califor- nia are ready to lay down their lives in the service of the State and the na- tion.
 Not only this but the delegates to the Grand Parlor gave practical proof of the earnestness of their loyalty by pledging their moral and material SUD- port Of the recently organized Red Cross League, which has for it's object the sanitary equipment of the brave men who will form CaliforniaS quota of volunteers for immediate service in the war with Spain. The approval of the order and the support of the order has been pledged to this humane work and as an earnest of what may be ex- pected in future the Grand Parlor has donated the sum of .$10G to aid in pro- viding California's heroes with what may be necessary to alleviate their suf- ferings from wounds and from sickness on the field of battle.
 This action took the form of a resolu- tion introduced by five members who had been selected by. the Grand Parlor +fdA To nnr r1N ag. IGN rAcs involving the causes of the present war with. Spain. When presented to the main body E. L. Head of San Fran cisco proposed the adoption of the reso- lution. This was acceded to without debate and the motion was carried without dissenting vote. The resolu- tion is as follows:
 of California having organized Red Cross League, to the end that the brave men who are to lend their lives to the service of the nation may be better pro- vided with sanitary equipment and may receive on the field of battle such care and attention as will in measure .allevi- ate their sufferings from wounds and from sickness, therefore be it
 Resolved, That the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West does hereby heartily indorse the action and ap- plaud the humane and patriotic senti- ments that prompted it. And be it further Resolved, That the grand treasurer be and Is hereby authorized 10 pay 10 the president of the California Red Cross League the sum of slo0, which sum to be used in assisting the work of the league. And be it further
 Resolved, That the attention of subordi- nate parlors of this order throughout the State be called to this good work and that they be recommended to lend it such support and sympathy as may under the circumstances be possible.

structions from Judge Low, after book ing them, allowed them to go on the money given him by the Police Magis- trate
 A short time afterward Mack visited the city prison and on learning that the men had been released handed the desk sergeant the orders of discharge signed by Judge Low.
 The action of Judge Low in placing the bail of the men at S25 each caused con- siderable surprise in police circles. Here tofore the minimum bail has been $50, and at times as high as $500.
 When taken into custody the defend- ants had a complete outfit for robbing the unwary, but notwithstanding that Judge Low was shown their scheming devices he fixed their bail at the ridicu- lously low sum of $25 each. As the men boast of a ''pull' it is thought likely that Low will dismiss their cases to-day without the formality of trial.

Their appeal had no effect and they took the matter upon themselves.

in California-"the lightest, best litter for field work ever made, 1 think" said Dr. Hopkins.
 There is a fine spirit of sympathy, of comradeship, among these surgeons. One will tell you how his brother of the corps dropped his entire practice for three months during the railroad strike, devoting all his time and a goodly portion of his money to taking care of the men called out up at Sacra- mento. He'll tell you, too, that the State never reimbursed this unosten- tatious patriot who still remains in her service, unselfish, devoted as ever.
 This is the kind of man who Is re-
