Report By Jerry"

Jerry" Reynolds, we'll known in
local shipping and bicycle circles, is
back in town as first officer of the
schooner Robert Levers. Mr.. Rey-
nolds found San Francisco extremely
lively. He says all the young men and
a good many Of the older ones are talk
ing of war with Spain and are anxious
for it. They believe the Maine was de-
stroyed as the beginning of reprisal for
American aid to Cuban revolutionists.
The only other thing talked Of in the
city is Klondike. Market street from
end to end is maze of Klonkide signs.
Mr.. Reynolds says he did not realize
he had been away from excitement for
so long until he stood at the Market
street ferry and watched the crowds.

MAN WHIPPED.
Charged With Slandering Persons
and Punished.

There was great excitement in the
Portuguese colony all day yesterday.
This was at fever heat in the forenoon
when a number of Portuguese gathered
in the club house on the slopes Of
Punchbowl and came very near pounc-
ing upon Duarte da Luz Vieira, the jan
itor Of the club house and beating him.
Luckily judgment was displayed on the
part of J. NJ Vivas who counselled the
men not to do anything rash. Vieira
was allowed to go on his way.
The whole trouble resulted it is stat
ed from insults offered to one or more
women by Vieira.
Soon after this Vivas met friend of
Vieira who spoke to him about the
matter. Something was said that made
Vivas belligerent and he purchased a
black snake whip and was around on
the street looking for Vieira. He met
him on the square just above the pump
ing station. Vivas jumped from the
hack and set to work Immediately, CIV
ing Vieira a sound thrashing. Not the
least bit of resistance was made by
Vieira who finally succeeded in getting
away. Vivas returned to town and a
half hour afterwards, about 1920 a. M,
again met Vieira. Vivas gave chase to
administer another taste of the whip,
but Vieira lodged into an alley and
was lost for the time. Later Vieira was
taken to the police station and locked
up for safe keeping, it being deemed
the best thing to keep him where the
thoroughly aroused and angry Portu>
guese could not get hold of him.
