YESTERDAYS FIRE.
A Residence Damaged and Furni-
fure DestroYed.

A fire started yesterday in the upper
part of the frame residence at 1922
street, and before the flames We're ex-
tinguished the rooms were gutted, most
of the fine furniture destroyed by fire,
smoke and water, and a portion of the
roof burned to a cinder.
The part of the building in which the
fire broke out was occupied by the
family Of G. E. Hubert. Mrs. Hubert
was down town when the fire broke
out. having left her two sons aged IA
and years, respectively, in the house.
The boys ran down stairs and told
Mrs. Campbell who occupied the base
ment that the sofa up stairs was on
fire. Mrs. Campbell Immediately at
tached the garden hose to the domestic
water-plug and turned a stream onto
the burning sofa. The flames, how
ever, had got too much Of a start, and
the plucky amateur fire-fghter was
obliged to drop the hose and creep to
the door to make her escape from the
suffocating smoke that filled the room.
The property was part Of the former
Marco Mania estate, now owned by
Mrs. Silvia, who resides in San Fran
cisco. 1t had been recently renovated
from top to bottom, and Mr.. Hubert
only recently put in new and costly
furniture, only a few pieces of which
were insured. The loss is quite Sc
vere and on furniture and building
amounts to over 5000 The building
was fully insured.
Mrs. Hubert became quite hysterical
when she learned the house was on
fire. and was prostrated with fright
believing that her Youngest child had
been burned. Chief Guthrie had no
difficulty in extinguishing the flames
after the engines arrived on the ground

HAIL, HAWAII!

The annexation resolutions have pass
ed the Senate by a handsome majority;
the labors of Mr.. Whites unlimbeGed
tongue are now over and he can retire
upon his unearned laurels.
The people of the United States
through their constitutional bodies have
decided to annex the Hawaiian group
of islands, and probably Within the next
twenty -four hours the President will
have affixed his signature to the Act,
and Hawaii will be ours as far as any
acthon on our part is concerned.
The resolutions must now be confirm
ed by the Hawaiian Legislature, but
what that body will do is thoroughly
understood The approval will be given
and the Stars and Stripes will wave
over our first mid-Pacifc possession It
will be reason for rejoicing and Amer
lean self -congratulation.
We will now have, at last, a spot in
the waste of waters where we can rest
our feet without asking consent from
any foreign Power California will be
no longer the western fringe of the Re-
public. Hawaii will face the setting
SUN for us hereafter.

OUR CUBAN ALLIES.

We do not get gratifying reports from
the Cubans. They appear to be good
aids when a battle is on and they are
thrown out as skirmishers and scouts,
and they fight bravely enough in the
front ranks. But they are unaccus-
toned to army life as we know it;
they do not seem to be susceptible to
discipline in any special degree; they
will not do soldiers work in camp or
in preparation for battle. The troops
under Garcia sent to intercept the
Pando troops failed utterly. We sus-
pect that they feared to meet an army
front, and found no opportunity to
check the advance by bushwhacking
tactics.
Gomez is reported as disguised and
jealous, and complaining that the
United States has not equipped and
supplied his men as was promised, no
effort having been made in that direc
ton since the failure of the unfortunate
Gussie expedition. 1t is said that the
old Porto Rican warrior has had to dis
band his army, and send the men to
subsist themselves as best they may,
but subject to recall; that his supplies
are exhausted, and that he and his
staff are living on horse flesh, berries
and roots He seems to feel that he
should have had attention before any
was extended to his subordinate,
Garcia
The truth is, that necessity for the
assault at Santiago was unforeseen. 1t
was forced upon our Government by
the retreat of Cervera into Santiago
Bay, and was not embraced in the early
plan of campaign. Garcia was found on
the spot with 5000 men. while Gomez
was in the extreme west and cut off
from communication with US or his
subordinate commands.
Garcia was shown no favor that he
was not entitled to and that was not
necessary. Gomez's jealousy is unrea-
sonable; circumstances, not the dispo-

REFUSED A DIVORCE.
Mrs. Heney Fails in Her Appica-
ton for a Decree,

Judge Johnson's court was the scene
yesterday of a divorce trial with rather
spicy trimmings. 1t was that of Sarah
f.. Heney against Richard Heney, FORM
erly an employe of the State Printing
Office.
Mrs. Heney had charged desertion
and infidelity against her husband, but
the testimony was not sufficiently con-
elusive on either point to warrant the
court in granting a decree of divorce
1t was shown that Mrs. Heney had
twice visited her husband in San Fran
cisco and occupied apartments with
him, and this, Judge Johnson said, neg
atived the allegation of desertion.
While there was some testimony to
give color to the charge of infidelity,
it was not conclusive at all, so the
court denied the plaintiff the divorce
asked for

HAUNTS THE BUDD CITADEL.
FRENCHMAN MICHAEL f. FACHS
AND HIS TROUBLES. -
Declares He Has Been Wronged-
Was Once an Inmate of the
Napa Asylum.

For the past five or six months the
Secretariesin the Governors office have
been pestered by dark, much-De-
whiskered, grimy little man who per-
sisted in recounting his imagined
wrongs, and further persisted in con-
tenuing that the Governor could ana
ought to right them
He imagined that he had been robbed
out of thousands of dollars by the
State, and his calls since his first ap-
pearance have been frequent. He at
first asked to see the Governor, and
has recently insisted on seeing him, but
as his eXceHency has set up an office
in San Francisco, and comes no more
to the Capital, his demands could not
be acceded to.
The little man, whose name Is
Michael F. Fachs (or Tache), has on
several occasions stood on his rights
as citizen and demanded to see docu-
ments of a public character in which
he deemed himself interested, but when
they were shown to him, he remained
unsatiSfied.
The regularity of his visits, and his
apparent insanity, caused the en-
ployes to look up his past record, and
they found that he had spent some time
in the Napa Hospital for Insane, ana
that he was at one time sent to San
Quentin for shooting man who, he
claimed, owed him So.
Miss Josephine NJ Todman, the Gov
ernor's Executive Secretary, and her
Clerk, Mrs. 7. L. Acock, are frequently
the only inmates of the office, and of
late Fachs has become violent while
making demands to have his claims
paid and to see the Governor.
The ladies grew frightened as he
grew violent, and yesterday, when he
appeared, he was turned over to
Watchman George Vice, who took him
to the County Jail pending an exam
ination touching his sanity.
FachS has a pocketful of letters
showing that the French Minister at
Washington and the French Consul at
San Francisco have had their attention
called to his case and have been seek
ing to learn whether or not he has been
wrongly dealt with. Fachs himself de-
clares that an attorney whom he had
engaged to look after his interests in
the Napa case threw him. down; that
he was thrown into Jail, ill-treated and
robbed of money. Among his papers
are his subsequent commitment to the
Napa Asylum and discharge therefrom.
One letter. from an officer Of the
French Legation in Washington, states
that Fachs appeared to be rational, and
requests the French Consul to interest
himself in the man.
No complaint has been made against
Fachs up to last evening, and unless
one is made this morning, Sheriff John
son will discharge him, as he has no
official knowledge of anything wrong
having been done by Fachs.

Two nephews of President Mckinley
whom he esteems highly, have enlisted
as privates in the volunteer force
Friends of the young men sought 10
secure their nomination to official po-
sitions in the army but the President
was firm in his refusal. The pity is
that the pull in the case of some
other young men did not also fall.
True, no large number of appoint
ments have been made which are OBJ
jectionable. But assuredly some are
wearing shoulder straps to-day whose
chief qualification is that they are rel
atives of somebody with a pull at
Washington. We can easily under
stand why the President could not
hold out against all such pressure,
though no one knows how many scores
of men with political backing he has
refused. But to cast off all appeals
meant to cripple measures to which he
had to bring all possible support in
the best interests of the people. He
was therefore compelled to accept some
nominations suggested by Congress
men and high officials. But when 1t
came to members Of his own family,
the President acted just as he wished
to do in all cases of inexperience pre-
sented for elevation to military power.
But his nephews have shown fine
spirit. They were refused commits
cir h1,t ho+
bounds of their patriotism; they en-
listed as privates, and all honor to
them for doing so.
