to arouse Spanish enthusiasts to join
 them in an expedition to raid towns
 along the Texas border.
 These two Spaniards came in on the | Norwegian steamer Bergen, which re- gently arrived at Vera Cruz, Mexico,
 with no passengers, most of them Gu ban refugees and non combatants, who boarded the steamer at Sagua la Grande, a port on the north coast of Cuba. The two Spanish army officers also embarked on the Bergen at that port, representing themselves as Cuban refugees. They attracted no particular attention, but began their work as soon as they had landed at Vera Cruz. and
 were soon located by Cuban agents and their mission ascertained.
 According to the reports of Cuban representatives in Vera Cruz there is a large contingent of Spaniards and
 Spanish sympathiZers who are very bit ter in their expressions toward the United States and who have been
 secretly lending aid to the Spaniards since the declaration of war and have openly denounced the United States.
 Captain Argudin and Lieutenant Ve- lasquez are secretly working and have aroused the more ignorant to such a
 state of excitement that they are ready and anxious to join an expedition to
 raid towns in the United States along the Mexican border. No decisive steps | have as yet been taken toward carry | ing out this plan, but it is known to Cubans that the scheme Is in progress

ham the Trustees now see their mis- take and are in favor of retaining Mrs Clement. Req is straining every effort to whip them into line, but it Is thought they will heed the wish of the public and turn the boss down. The two new Trustees to be seated at the next meeting are R. J. Langford and T. O'Neil. Just how they stand is un- certain, but they are both good men, and it is not thought they will do the boss bidding.
 At a recent meeting of the Good Gov ernment League of Santa Clara County the matter of Professor Smiths dis missal from the High School was dis cussed. The charges of the Battlefield Veterans that Professor Smith was un- patriotic were denounced as a political trick engineered by the gang" The following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, It is our belief that our pub lie schools should be entirely free from the influences that at present dominate our politics; and whereas, the teachers should be selected solely for their fitness and efficiency and not as a reward for political favors, and when they have proved themselves faithful and competent they should not be removed in order to make places for political favorites, or as Q punishment for refusing to obey the orders of political bosses and rings; and whereas. we believe that Professor Smith of the San Jose High School has been unjustly removed, for political reasons only, from his position in said school by the Board of Education of San. Jose, against the unanimous protest of pupils and patrons of said school; therefore be 1t
 Resolved, That we heartily commend the pupils and graduates of San Jose High School for the gallant fight they are making for the reinstatement of Pro- lessor Smith as fight in the interests of our schools. and in the cause of good government.
 Resolved That we earnestly urge the parents and friends of the High School pupils, and especially such as are mem- bers of this league, to assist their chill dren in this contest by every honorable means in their power.
 Resolved, That we heartily indorse Pro- lessor Smith and urgently request the Board of Education of the city of San Jose to reappoint him to his position in the San Jose High School.

 The exclusive announcement by the Herald this morning of the intention to send the Eastern squadron after Ca mara's fleet, even if it had to steam to the Philippines to catch him, was con- tirmed by officials to-day, although they declined to make any official statement concerning the matter.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The stereotypers on all the Chicago papers struck at Il o'clock tonight and for the first time in fftv-one years Chicago will wake up to- morrow morning to find an utter dearth of news. .:~
 Four weeks ago the stereotypers made a demand for an increase of wages from s3 75 to s4 a day, a reduction of time from eieht to seven hours a day and 75 cents an hour for overtime. The publishers were willing to concede the increase in pay. but refused to accede to the demand for reduced hours. The men demanded all ar nothing. Several conferences were held. but all attempts at compromise failed.
 In the meantime the publishers agreed to stand or fall togetheri. that unless men could be got to man all the offices none would attempt to. get out. papers, The stereotypers took advantage of the prog ress of Shafter's battle at Santiago to-day to renew their demand, believing the pub fishers would yield rather than forego the privilege of announcing the greatest news of the year to the public.
 l. A long and stormy session was held from T till Il, when finding the publishers firm the men struck, and every. neWspaper plant in the city was closed, which in the case of the Tribune, the oldest paper in the city, was the first time in fifty-one years.
 No papers will be printed till the strike is settled. It is not probable that the strike will spread to other departments. of the papers, as the printers, pressmep. and mailers. though federated with the stereo- typers. believe the demands of the latter were .exorbitant and that furthermore the principles of the federation were violated when the strike was ordered. without con- sulting others of the federated bodies.
 The following bulletin. was posted. at every newspaper, office this evening at 10 O oclock:
 At 8 o'clock this Eriday) evening the Stereo- tvpers' Union notified the newspaper publishers of Chicago that unless their demands for an increase of wages from s 75 to s4 per day, re- ducton' of the working day from eight to seven hours, with payment at. the rate of 10 cents per hour for all overtime and other conces- sions were at once sacceded to. they would re- fuse to return to work In consequence of this action the - In common with all other Chi cago papers, will not appear Saturday.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, July Miss Irene Han pearance at the Superintendent of Schools office this morning to assume her duties as deputy, to which she was recently. elected, and consequently Mrs. A. B. Clement retains the place. Late yesterday afternoon conference Of those interested in seating Miss Han lkenson was held In Boss" Rea'S office, at which it was decided to abandon the matter on account of its illegality. A legal opinion was sought and Req was told the law was very plain oh the question, and that putting Miss Han: kenson in as Deputy Superintendent of the city schools would be direct vio- lation of the charter, which provides that all deputies must be residents of the city two years before holding of fee:
 This enraged the big boss, and he de- clared the. City Superintendent must throw Mrs. Clement bodily put of the office, but this official refused to do so. Rea declared he would call a meeting at once and depose Mrs. Clement, but later he said they would wait until Tuesday, when the new members of the board take their seats. At that time an effort will be made to dismiss Mrs Clement and elect Miss Hankenson a substitute teacher and let her do the Deputy. Superintendent'S work. By this means it is proposed to get around the charter provision. But legal authori- ties claim this cannot be done, and that the performance of the Deputy Super intendent's duties by a substitute teacher would be really filling the office
 The removal of Mrs. Clement has caused such rumpus that it is not believed the Trustees, now that they know the election of Miss Hankenson is illegal, will insist on seating her. It is said that with the execution of Gra-
