Unntoealary Guarantee.


Something has been said about an eff
fort on the part Of the Spanish govern
ment to secure some guarantee from the
United States that the lives and prop
eFty OF Spanish citizens In conquered
territory shall be cared for. The idea
OF the administration Is that no such
pledge or guarantee Is necessary.
It must be Remembered that when the
treaty uf peace Is signed the citizens Of
Spain. now enemies. will fall In the nett
tral category.
Meanwhile preparations for the Wade
expedition go on steadily, number Of
general officers being to-day ordered TO
attach themselves thereto, among them
General Randall, who was assigned only
yesterday to command the new military
camp at Montauk Point.
Navy department officials also Insist
that no change has been made in the
orders to the Watson squadron. In
deed. there seems to be now evident u
purpose to dispatch this fine squadron
to European waters regardless of the
termination OF the war. the idea being
that the splendid display which will be
made by the American ships win have
n beneficial effeut in inspiring respect
for our naval strength.

WASHINGTON, August 4.-There
Vss an expectation at the state depart
men, that perhaps towards the close Of
The afternoon some word might be re-
c.lyed from Spain through the French
Ambassador in reply to the Presidents
bsIlverance yesterday upon the subject
Of peace conditions. This expectation
was based upon the fact that the terms
themselves had not been modtied in any
essential point. so that there was little
occasion for prolonged discussion by the
Spanish cabinet. which was presumed
to have thoroughly considered this mat
ter before rendering the FIRST reply.
However 1t was perceived from the
news dispatches that the Madrid cabi-
net meeting had been inconcluslve, 90
II was then presumed that nothing defi-
MITE could be expected before tomorrow
nom al the earliest. There 10 a conf
dent belief among administration otti-
cIals that the Spanish government VIII
accept the terms laid down by the Pres
IN recoEnlZinB the inevitable is TO be
accounted for by reasons Of Spanish in-
teFnal politics, which would not coun-
tenance an unreaisHnE submission With
out at least display OF a purpose 20
improve the terms. This, however, cam
not be accomplished, and the French
ambassador, who is well aware OF that
fact. unquestianably has SO informed
the Spanish government, though that
government has preserved It's record IN
good form to meet the criticism OF It's
political opponents by submitting the
counter-pr proposition presented yesterday
by N. Caunbnn 10 the President.
VIII net HaEzIs Over the Mattsr.
He undoubtedly reached that convie-
tlon at the second Interview when the
President in going over with him the
terms he proposed as basis for peace
had Impressed strongly upon him the
determination Of our government not tn
indulge In haggiipg for advantage; not
10 be equipped with two sets Of terms,
maximum and minimum conditions, but
to lay down at once the propositions
that the United States deemed to be
fair and Just az a basis for peace, and
having done 90, 10 adhere TO them hTm-
iy 90 far as all matters Of principle
were concerned
But the French Ambassador felt that
It was his duty. regardless Of his per-
sOnal conVlctlona. 20 lay the plea OF the
Spanish government before the Presi-
dent and that q what yesterdays
meeting amounted to. Now, with the
Spanish government assured that no
further notifications can be expected.

THE FEEBLE-MINDED.
They Are Being Transferred From
the Insane Asylums.

The State Commission in Lunacy
have begun the work of transferring
from the insane asylums to the Home
for Feeble Minded at Glen Ellen, So
noma County, patients whose mental
condition is such as to render them
unfit subjects for the asylums.
Yesterday an attendant from the
Stockton asylum arrived with Jane
Wood, who was committed from this
county in 1864, thirty-four years ago.
The patient was examined by Drs.
Glow and Hart in the presence of
Judge Hart, and on the application of
Secretary Carrere of the Lunacy Com
mission she was recommitted to the
home at Glen Ellen.
Miss Wood, who is a daughter Of the
late Colonel Wood, at one time Clerk
of the Supreme Court is a person Of
simple mind, more like a child than
an insane person. Her only thought is
for her dolls, and she fondles and talks
to them just as would a little girl of
three years.
Secretary Carrere says that within a
few days he will have secured the
transfer of thirty-six simple-minded
patients to Glen Ellen.

Governor Budd yesterday afternoon
reprieved Manuel Chaves, who was sem

December 10th, until the 10Th of April
Chaves was convicted in the Superior
Court Of San Diego County, in July,
1897, for the murder of Mrs. Gregoria
Rodriges, woman with whom he had
been living. His case was appealed
to the Supreme Court, which affirmed
the judgment of the lower court
The reprieve was granted because
Governor Budd, who is now busily al
work preparing his message to the
Legislature, has not had sufficient time
to investigate the matters set forth in
the petition for Communication of SEN
tence.
The petition was received only yester-

HARD TO REMOVE VETERANS.
THEY CANNOT BE SUMMARILY
DISMISSED.
State Treasurer Reeves May Not
be Able to Remove Guard
Cannon.

| 1t is said that there is likely to be a
great deal of fun at the Capitol when
| State Treasurer Reeves and others be-
| gin to behead the present official in
cumbents. OF course the vast bulk Of
| office-holders will go without murmur,
knowing that their places have been
| lost in the fortunes of war.
1t is not SO, however, with a few.
| There is a law by which certain class
| of California office-holders are made
even more certain of their places than
| If they had civil service positions un-
| der the Federal Government.
One of these men is Guard Cannon
| OF the State Treasury. He is vet
eran of the late civil war; and as such
| he is exempt from the pruning knife
| of time, If he reads the law correctly.
When there was talk of removing
| him, at the time Will S Green became
Treasurer, Mr.. Green received a letter
from Mr.. Cannon wherein the fact was
| specified that the law does not permit
| the removal of an old soldier without
cause, whereupon Mr.. Green desisted
| from welding the ak in violation of
| the statutes in such cases made and
provided.
Treasurer Reeves has announced his
appointees, and among them is a man
| for the place claimed by Cannon. 1t is
among the possibilities that Mr. Can
non will remain until he is Ousted by
| the courts, or until a certain section
| of the State law shall be judicially
construed. The following is the Sec
| ton that is relied on by several vet
| Grams who hold office for terms not
| specified by law.
Statutes and Amendments to the
Codes, page 2S9, chapter 212.
An Act to provide for, insure and
| maintain preference in the appoint
ment, employment and retention in the
| public service, and upon public works
| of the State of California, of honorably
discharged eXUnion soldiers, sailors
and marines of the War of the REBEL
| ion. Approved March 81, 1891.
Section i. In every department,
upon all public works, whether under
contract or not, in all offices, employ
| ments, places and positions of trust or
profit of this State, honorably dis
| charged ex-Union soldiers, sailors and
marines Of the War of the Rebellion
must be preferred for appointment,
| employment and retention therein:
and age, loss of limb or other physical
| impairment, which does not in fact in
capacitate, shall not be deemed to dis
qualify them; provided they possess
| the capacity necessary to fill the po-
sition; and persons thus preferred or
appointed, unless appointed or en-
ployed for definite statutory period,
shall not be dismissed from such posi-
tions, offices or emDloyments, except
upon charge after a hearing, and for

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of the Imperfect Digestion of
Food,

The Result of the Imperfect Digestion OF
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs OF
disease and death Called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result OF
imperfect digestion Of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result is heavy,
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process Of decay poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak and lacking in
red corpuscles; poisoning the brain,
causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stom-
ach alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows itself not
only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in
weak nerves and muddy complexion
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity Of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible rem
edy in all cases of indigestion, is to take
after each meal, one or two of Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they sup
ply in a pleasant, harmless form all
the elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure every form Of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves. bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result
only from wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 80 cents full sized
package Or by mail by inclosing price

ADJUSTMENTS. A

Miss Janet Waldorf's Parthenia last
night was an artistic success. 1t won
her, along with Mr.. McVey as Ignomar,
two curtain calls and two calls in
scenes, besides frequent and cordial
Icommendatory applause from a small
| but appreciative audience. So much
stronger and more artistic was her
Parthenia to her Viola, that had she
given the first OH Tuesday night, the
belief is warranted that her audience
| last night would have filled the Opera
house. In memory of a dozen Par
| thenias the Record Union places hers
among the leaders. The actress was
| lost in the character; in short, it was a
complete sinking of self in the inter-
probation of one Of the most delightful
| and poetic Of dramatic characters The
young woman who can present such q
Parthenia as Miss Waldorf did last
night, is no uncertain dramatic unit.
| She stands by that work firmly upon
| the Threshold of a brilliant career.
| Mr.. McVey's Ingomar was a mastery
thing. not so impetuous as some, but
| full Of vitality, manliness and native
nobility of character. Mr. McGregor,
who was the Malvolio of the night be-
fore, was notably good as the miser
Polydor. Both these leading men proved
their composition to be Of sound metal,
and that they are students of the art
they profess, of high intelligence and
discriminating Judgment. A word in
lcommendation Of Mr.. Hernandez's
Myron is deserved, and Mr.. Curriers'
Actea was likewise a carefully read and
we'll sustained work. Manager Ficks
has secured a return engagement Of
Miss Waldorf after her Los Angeles and
San Francisco dates have been filled.
