California is essentially an annexa-

Record" Very true. But has any
one heard a single word from Mr.. Ma
guire in commendation of the annexa-
tion of Hawaii? Has he said a word
approvingly Of that which lies so close
to the heart Of California interests? His
platform is dead silent upon the sub
ject. His press has nothing to say in
approval Of the Administration deter
mination to retain the Philippines-at
least refusal to return them TO the DOM
ination of merciless Spain Yet Cali
fornia has more and deeper interest
than any other State in that policy be-
ing carried out. Still the fusionists ask
Californians to rebuke, reverse and

BAITED THE BADGER
And Got the Worst of It-A Story of
Spanish Honor

KEY WEST Aug. 4.-No confirmation
has been received here of the report that
Nuevitas. the chief port of the province Of
Puerto Principe, has been evacuated by the
Spanish after a bombardment by Amecan
warships.
The auxiliary cruiser Badger captured
three prizes off Neuvitas on July 26,h and
left with them that day for the Tortugas,
arriving here this morning. Captain Shaw
said that at the time of his departure all
but about 1900 Spanish troops had left the
city and a general evacuation was expect
ed but that 20 all intents and purposes the
place was still held by the enemy, and
there had been nothing in the nature of an
attack. The large gunboat Pizarro and the
armed tugs Anita and Yumari were in the
harbor. Only intelligence of the reported
assault and evacuation of Nuevitas was
that furnished on July 26th by Lieutenant
Colonel Rojas, of TIL insurgent forces, to
Commander Maynard of the gunboat
Nashville.
The Badger was covering the blockade
station at Nuevitas on July 26th when one
of the Spanish boats slipped stern fore
most TO the mouth of the harbor and took
a peep at her The enormous hull of the
American ship scared her. and she scurried
back to shelter.
A little while later three vessels were
observed coming out in excellent forma-
ton, and Captain Snow thought a good
fight was coming. Ee brought his ship up
to the mouth of the harbor and prepared
to give the Spaniards warm greeting,
when 1t was discovered that instead of gun
boats the advancing ships were tug. a
tow, all flying the Spanish and Red Cross
flags.
A couple of shots from six-pounder
were fired in their direction and they
promptly surrendered. The tug was the
Humbert Rodriguez, fine and new, and
he Safi and the barge was the San Fran
| cisco.
A party from the Badger boarded the
prizes and found distributed over them
about 400 Spanish soldiers, who 1t was said
had been ordered to Havana by General
Salcido. The surgeon in charge asserted
that there were six cases of yellow fever
among the troops but careful examina.
ton by the Badgers doctor and afterwards
by other physicians at Tortugas showed
there was no infection among the men and
that the Red Cross flags were used as
decoy.
AT Nuevitas the Badger also took aboart
eight deserters from the Spaniards WIZ
are still on board the ship.

MORE SEAL POACHING
Threats to Raid the Rookeries by Can
adam Sealers

UNALASKA, July %, via Victoria. Aug.
4-Well-founded reports are in circulation
that concerted attempt will be made next
month by fleet of Canadian sealers to
raid the rookeries on the islands of ST. Paul
and St. George. There Is but one govern
ment vessel. the gunboat Wheeling. to
guard Boring Sea against pelagic sealers,
and the department has ordered her to
visit the various fish canneries along the
Alaskan coast and see that the fish
ing laws are not violated. Around
unalaska and Dutch Harbor, where
the larger portion of the sealing fleet rem
devious before the season opens are over
a score Of vessels. and it seems to be an
open secret that in the event of the animals
being scarce in the present zone allowed
for sealing purposes, the captains contem-
plate raiding the rookeries. The absence
of revenue cutters. they declare. seems to
imply tacit invitation to invade the sea
and kill seals wherever they may be found.
Both ST. Paul and st. George islands have
a few government officers lessees. en-
ployes and a couple of hundred natives.
But this force is inadequate to Illustrate a
well-planned raid. The officers them
selves expect the laws will be flagrantly
violated unless revenue cutters are sent up
to render patrol service. The plan of
branding female seals. government offic-
ials say. is proving a success. Those that
were branded last year and emigrated
south during the winter are returning to
the breeding grounds. The work of brand
ing will be continued this year.

DEFEND GARCIA
The New York Junta Thinks He Is
Still Loyal if Mad

NEW YORK, Aug 4-General T. Es-
,rada Palma of the Cuban Junta last night
supplemented his statement of the day be-
fore regarding the reported differences be-
tween General Garcia and General Shafter:
II think" said General Palma that the
principal reason that General Garcia with
drew from Santiago was because 1t was
not necessary for him to continue there
with his troops after the surrender of the
city. His presence in the interior was ne
cessary to operate against the Spaniards
holding Holguin, Manzanillo and other
towns. The necessity for his act is proved
by his occupying Gibara with troops, I'M
der General Rojas. This town has the larg-
est proportion of Spanish inha bitants Of
any town In the eastern part of the island.
General Rojas entered the town, estab-
lished a government, policed the place and
everything was peaceful when the ships
of the American navy arrived.
1--WE all acknowledge our debt of graft
tude to the American people and that to
them in the end we will owe our freedom
from the Spanish yoke. The fact that Cen
eral Garcia is cooperating actively proves
the faith he has in the American people.
This faith is shared by all Cubans, and we
have no doubt that all the pledges they
wait patiently, assured that when the time
comes Cuba will be turned over to us for a
peaceful and stable government"

BRINGING THEM NORTH
Yellow Fever Convalescents to Be
Hurried Home.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Telegrams
have passed between Surgeon-General
Sternberg of the army, and Chief Surgeon
O'Relly, in charge of the United States
camp at Tampa, in regard to the arrival of
transports there and the yellow fever con-
valescents who are to be discharged from
quarantine. Chief Surgeon O'Reilly's dis
patch was as follows:
Steamer San Marcos arrived last night
with 125 passengers. Steamer Comal is IN
quarantine with So passengers. There are
sixty yellow fever convalescents to be dis
charged from quarantine who will not be
allowed to sojourn in Florida. San Marcos
can not he fumigated until the tenth and
will not be released until the 18th Recon-
mend she take all passengers Immediately
to New York, as she can accommodate GOO.
She can go there, be fumigated, and return
before the 18th. Otherwise / must be au-
thorized to hire a special train to take
yellow fever convalescents north of Balti-
more Direct disposition of the people i'm
posed of at once, no more passengers
can be admitted to detention camp. but
must remain on board ship, thus blockad-
ing the quarantine"
To this dispatch General Sternberg sent
the following reply:
San Marcos will be ordered to New York
with all convalescents. See that they have
ample medical supplies, competent medical
officers, ice. and proper food supplies. Let
there be no cause for complaint against
the Medical Department when the ship ar
rives in New York"

"Dinerential religion" he said. will not
bring peace to the soul Of the railway man. "
He thought the Canadian Pacific could
compete on even terms with Its competi-
tors If It quickened its time. and he con-
coded that a share of American traffic III
the East should BE carried by Canadian
lines. The Canadian Pacific claimed differ
entails from Boston TO San Francisco, but
there were a half dozen roads connecting
these points which possessed greater ad-
yantages than the Canadian Pacific ard
could claim differentials from it..
When speaking of the futility of arbitra-
ton in railway disputes, Mr.. Eustis d.
gressed moment to compliment Mr. Nc
Nicoll on the shrewdness he had displayed
in discussing arbitration. He said Mr.. Nc
Nicoll knew what he was about when he
suggested that course. Otherwise no
agreement would have been reached and
matters would have stood as before. In
making his recommendation to the Com
mission, Mr.. Eustis disavowed on behalf
Of the Western roads, any desire to ex-
cude the Canadian line from operating in
American territory so long as it would con-
sent to compete on even terms with the
American lines. He contended that differ
entails wherever tried had proven a fail
ure, and he insisted that no natural dis
abilities which the Canadian road might
possess entitled it to differentials He asked
the Commission to decide the extent of the
Canadian roads right to do business in the
United States.
II have told Mr.. McNcoll that If he will
become fair competitor neither the West
ern lines nor the trunk lines will object 10

traffic" he said.

Eustis Attacks the Canadian Pacific
Before the Commission

CHICAGO, Aug Ain his argument be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission
today General Passenger Agent Eustis OF
the Burlington road. warned the Canadian
Pacific that if it continued a shotgun policy
toward the American roads, Congress would
interfere and compel it to desst.
MIR. Eustis spoke for upwards of an hour
and half. In forceful language, he de-
scribed the evils which, he said, had re-
suited from the granting of differentials 10
the Canadian road. He declared that II
the Canadian Pacific could not conduct
business on even terms with its American
competitors, it should not be allowed 10
take American traffic.
He was interrupted several times by
Commissioner Prouty who asked him how
weaker roads could secure share of traf-
fic if they were not granted differentials
He replied that the roads handicapped by
physical disabilities should compete for
cheaper lines of traffic. Further cate
chised on the subject he admitted that this
discrimination might in a sense amount 20
granting differentials. He denied, how

The deluge was terrific while 1t lasted. Five
or six inches of water in their tents was
more than the boys could stand, and when
the downpour ceased they turned loose and
the camp resounded with western whoops
and yells. All camp fires were entinguished
and the troop cooks tents were wrecked,
SO that the cavalrymen found themselves
supperless as well as bedless. The COM
manding officer gave permission to go any,
where for the night. Those in funds and
those whose chums were in funds quickly
headed for Tampa, while those who are
broke bivouacked in a string of empty cars
on the adjacent railway and soon had big
camp fire blazing. A good number availed
themselves of Major Dunn's permission to
seek shelter at Tampa.

of three men, the seizure of twenty-seven
barrels of whisky and the closing up of
the yeast factory. The whisky was made
at the Brooklyn malt vinegar works. II

COURTEOUS BRITISHERs
Old Glory Not to Be Used for Adver.
Using PURPOSES in London

LONDON. July 27.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) The American So
ciety in London is waging a campaign
against the London shopkeepers who are
using the American flag as a device to
catch tourists dollars. During this sea-
son London is overrun with Americans.
Many of the West End shops fly flags on
which advertisements are printed.
The society's committee visited the prin-
cipal shops, requesting that the defaced
flags be withdrawn, representing that such
an exhibition of national colors was dis
tasteful to the Americans. although no OBJ
lection was made to the flags that were
unlettered.
With hardly an exception, the British
firms courteously acquiesced. Only one re-
fusal from an important house was met
with and so the society may attempt to do
something in the matter of a boycott
against that.
