old FRIENDS STILL TRUE
PLEASANT WORDS FROM THE
BENNINGTON.
Officers Speak Enthusiastically of
Honoulu's Entertainment of the
First Manila Expedition.

The San Francisco Chronicle of
June 27th, says
The United States gunboat Benning-
ton arrived in port yesterday from
Honolulu with the largest consign-
ment of Hawaiian mail ever brought
to this port by one vessel. The mail
consisted principally of letters from
the soldiers composing the first eX-
petition for Manila, for the postage
on which the people of Honolulu had
contributed over $500.
The officers of the Bennington all
speak in the highest terms of the con-
duct of the soldiers in Honolulu.
"They were given the freedom of the
place." they say. "They were not al
lowed to spend a cent and they got
all they wanted to eat and drink.
There was not a single instance where
the hospitality of the Islands was
abused"
The Bennington people fully ex-
pected to learn here that the Islands
had been annexed and were greatly
surprised to learn that the question
was still open. One of the officers re-
marked yesterday: "The treatment
accorded the United States troops by
lht DtOIlt VI lIt lSlulluS is, Ill INV
opinion, the strongest argument in ia
vor of annexation. The folks down
there are American body and soul.
One member of the royal family is a
vice president of the Red Cross socie-
ty, and another presented the Char
lesion with a silk flag. AS part of the
reception accorded the transports an
American flag over fifty feet long,
was displayed from the highest eleva-
ton in Honolulu. 1t was the first
thing sighted and gave rise to the inn
preston on the transports that the
Islands had already been annexed.
If Uncle Sam does not annex the Is
lands he will be in the position of
man that refuses to marry a girl af-
ter taking up her best days making
her believe that he wants to-"
The Bennington people are glad to
get once more within the reach of the
telegraph. They have been for ten
months shut out from the world and
the strain since the war was declared
and history has commenced to devel-
op with kinetoscope-like rapidity. has
tried all on board to the full limit.

NEW ANTI-SEPTIC BANDAGE.
Is Brought Into Notice by the Red
Cross.

BERKELEY, June 2S.-Berkeiey's
Red Cross society owes no small por-
ton of its distinction to its large out
put of anti-septic bandages. Each of
the bodies of the departing troops
has been supplied with them in large
quantities. All last week the head
quarters of the society in Hinkle
block, were filled with ladies and
Young girls engaged in their prepare
ton.
The new style of plaster of paris
bandages is Berkeley invention. 1t
owes it origin to Colonel Greenleaf,
husband of the society's president.
Mrs. c. r. Greenleaf, who had the
happy thought of reporting to the So
ciety the results of his observations
of soldiers most urgent needs on the
field of battle.
The bandages are made by cutting
crinoline into strips. These are even
ly covered with plaster of paris. And
when so prepared they are tightly
rolled up and inclosed in paraffine pa
per, which protects them from damp
ness and air until needed. Before be-
ing applied they are dipped in salt
water, so that when bound around a
broken limb they instantly harden.
forming the readiest and most eff
cient substitute for splints.

 WATER FIGHT City Council Committee to Inspect Sources
 of Supply.
A Bone of Contention Which May Lead to Endless
 Litigation.
The Syndicated Press Still Working for the Corporation and Against
 the People.
Special Dispatch to The Call

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10.-The City Council committee on mountain water supply will in a few days start out to personally investigate the various sources of supply which have been offered. Chairman Grider says the trip would have been made before had the recent rains not interfered
 We are waiting also," said he, for ChairmanI Hazard to announce his steering |committeee, so that we can consult with those gentlemen and learn what is fpest to be done."
 The general opinion is that the prop erty Known as Crystal Springs will ba included in the schedule inventory which khe water company will return to the Council. It is upon this item that the water company and the city will never agree, as the city claims the alleged springs to be nothing more nor less than part and parcel of the Los Angeles River, to which the city'S title has beeen granted by the courts.
 In this connection the real tactics of the water company become apparent. In it's paid authorized statement pub- lished in the midwinter number of the Times the company insists that until this Crystal Springs litigation has been disposed of there can be no arbitration. This means that municipal ownership will have to wait, if the water com pany has it's way-and that is what the syndicated press is striving to effect until that issue has been taken through all of the State and Federal courts, which must of necessity consume sev- eral years, the company presumably acting in the interval under it's present charter

 IN HOSTILE MOOD.
They Think the Government at Madrid Should Not Have Re-
 called De Iome.

MADRID, Feb. 10.-The candidature of Senor Muruaga to succeed Senor de Lome has been abandoned. The Government maintains it's reserve, de- string to secure the approval of Wash ington, according to diplomatic GUS tom, before appointing Senor de Lome's successor.
 Fl Percha says: Senor de Lome's res ignation has been accepted the inter- national question disappears. Never thelesS the Cuban insurgents have succeeded in chasing from Washington a representative of Spain who always displayed great zeal to prevent fili bustering expeditions, but they have done so by tricks only employed by the clients of penitentiaries.
 Correspondence de Militair says: The Government should not have ac- cepted Senor de Lome's resignation. The American attitude is offensive and humiliating to Spain.
 Fl Correro Espana, the Carlist or gan, says: Events precipitate them selves and we are at the beginning of the end of our respect for the United States.
 La Nacional, the Weylerist organ, reproaches the Government for yielding to the exigencies of Washington and adds: The United States have become our lords and masters.

THE LONDON PRESS
 GENERALLY UNFRIENDLY

LONDON, Feb 10.-The New York correspondent of the Daily News says: "Senor de Lome was sometimes trou- blesome on account of his disposition to assume a high manner over Cuban af- fairs, but he usually subsided when he found it unsuccessful. A less tactful successor may precipitate crisis, for the situation is full of dangerous ele- ments, but trouble may be averted if President Mckinley holds the affair completely in his own hands,"
 The Daily Telegraph editorially cen sures Senor de Lome's injudicious and ilI-timed letter. The New York corre- spondent of the Standard says: "Presi- dent Mckinley was the coolest man in Washington, and almost exaggerated the slightness of the personal offense in order to steady raging Congressmen."
 The Standard, editorially, says: '"The responsibility for preventing the affair reaching a dangerous phase appears to lie wholly with Spain. The sympathy of observers will be with President Nc kinley rather than with Senor de Lome, whose letter shows that he is destitute of the qualities required by his pro- fesSion. We confess we should like to know the facts as to the theft of the alleged letter, whose Cpportune produc- llDI IOOhS SQ5plCiOQS. put II US use were designated to hasten the crisis the designers seem to have gained nothing beyond a change of Ministers"
 The Morning Post says editorially: The Cuban Junta has quite uncon~ sciously done President Mckinley a considerable service. Amid the break down of his financial policy and the gloomy prophecies as to the coming elections, the De Lome letter is happy discovery. It enables the Cabinet to assume an air of outraged dignity and then insist upon reparation from Spain without in any way committing itself on the general question of Cuban poli- tics. The letter was quite natural for Senor de Lome to send, and the inn petuous and high-handed proceedings of the Washington Government form another illustration of the total con- tempt for good manners which charac- terizes the State Department In this case their energy is stimulated by the opportunity to please the rabble of their party without actually provoking Spain to declare war"

CALLED TO HIS GATE AND SHOT Attempt to Assassinate a Rancher Near Gila
 Bend.
One Shot Misses, but a Second Terribly Lacerates the
 Mans Hand.
The Victim Suspected of Stealing Cattle and Burning Neigh
 bOrs' Homes.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHA BEND, Ariz., Feb. 10.-This morning about daylight an attempt was made to assassinate Josiah Anderson, a well-known rancher living several miles from this place. A masked and mounted stranger called Anderson to his gate and fired two loads from a shotgun point blank at him. Almost miraculously Anderson escaped with his life. One of the shots went wild, the other dreadfully shattering Ander- sons hand.
 The assailed man lately achieved more than local notoriety in connection with a theft of cattle from the ranch of a neighbor. The charges, which are now pending in the District Court, have aroused the most intense bitter ness. Another incident supposed to have connection with the same affair was the incendiary firing, last night, of the dwelling and stable of Frank D. Welcome and the home of Mrs. s. F. Hazard.

Special Dispatch to The Call


 CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-When the consol- idation of all the roads in the present Northwestern system has been completed the plan now under consideration will have been consummated. The consolida- tons will be but the solidifying of one link in great chain extending over the entire continent from the the Atlantic to the Pacific. Once these conditions are outof the way the field will, it is believed. De clear for the further consolidation of the Northwestern and Union Pacific sys- temS.
 The two roads of to-day practically are one. All affairs relating to through bust ness IS so arranged as to guard their in- tereStS and suit the convenience of each and the final consolidation of the two roads will in reality be more a matter of detail than the introduction of any radi- ca! change in the relationships which now exist between them. When they become one Tn name, as they are now in action, ,ne completion of the western chain all iuded to will have taken place and noth- ing will remain but to weld it to the east ern end, which has already been formed py the unihcation of the New York Cen trai and the Lake Shore roads. The Van derbilt main line will then extend from NeW York to San Francisco. It may be that by that time absolute ownership of the Central Pacific will have been se- cured. Whether it is or not, the present rights of the Union Pacific to cover that me are 1nalienably secured.
