AN ENGLISH EXPERT
Makes a Report on the Maine
Disaster


NEW YORK, May 5-A special to the
Herald from Toronto, Ont, says:
Almost Immediately after the Maine
disaster Captain Kent, torpedo expert for
the British Halifax squadron, was hur-
riedly sent to Washington, D. c., whence
he proceeded to Key West, Fla. His de-
parture caused considerable comment at
the time and the government was asked a
question relative to the trip, but simply
answered that 1t was purely department.
al affair.
Captain Kent has now returned to Hall
fax, and from some remarks he has made,
it is evident that whatever other business
he had in hand he was making inquiries
about the Maine disaster. He expresses
the opinion that the vessel was blown up
by external means. and that it was prob
ably mine put in position not long before
the explosion took place. He saw Captain
Sigsbee and went carefully over all the
evidence taken during the inquiry, and
this, with his own accurate knowledge of
explosives, their effect when exploded in
certain conditions and the certainty that
in such a case as the Maine disaster all
traces of the torpedo would disappear,
made 1t plain to him that external agen-
cies had been applied. Such thing, he
asserts, could be done without the knowl-
edge and against the will of the Spanish
officers, so that his opinion means no re-
Election whatever on the Captain General
of Cuba.
He has made a most elaborate report to
the British Admiralty, and it Is said that
the document contains important infor-
nation on the naval force Of the United
States in Cuban waters.

Postpone Final Action

RIVERSIDE, May 5-The board of SUI
pervisors which met in extra session yes
terday for the purpose of relocating the
county hospital, had quite warm session
today when the matter was brought up.
When the bids were opened it was found
that there were four offers to sell to the
county and two bids for the rebuilding of
the hospital structure injured by the fire
Of a few weeks ago. A. s. Milce offered
lot on Chestnut street, in this city, on

tel building near the Santa Fe in the city,
offered the building and lot for $65O0; Ber-
nard Maier of Rincon offered his store
building at that place for the sum Of s2S00;
and Francis A. Joy offered the Auburn
dale boom hotel at Corona for $4,000. Be-
sides these offers A. w. Boggs and W. r.
Schade offered to rebuild the old building
for $6500 There was warm discussion of
the matter INDUCED in by Chairman
Shaver and Supervisor Dunbar. The form
er insisted that San Jacinto was the proper
place for the hospital, while the latter con-
tended that the county seat was the place
for it. It was finally voted to postpone ac-
ton until Monday next and in the mean
time the board will investigate the differ
ent offers made.

THE LUNING ESTATE
A Nice Rich Bone for the Lawyers to
Pick

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5-George Whit
tell, one of San Francisco's leading busi-
ness men and capitalists, has been sued in
the Superior Court for more than mil
lion dollars. The plaintiff is Oscar Luning,
a son of the late Nicholas Luning, and
brother-in-law Of Whittell. Nicholas Lun-
ing died in 1890, leaving an estate which
was subsequently appraised at more than
$7,0O0,0OO By this will, he bequeathed the
millions which he had owned to his five
children, share and share alike. No dis
tribution of the estate has ever been made.
Under the will, George Whittell and M. B.
Langhorne were named as executors. On
Whittells advice, the children united their
interests in a corporation known as the
Luning Company, of which Whittell was
made President and Langhorne the Sec
reary.
The original interests of Oscar T. Lun.
ing in the corporation were worth in the
neighborhood of $1,5O0,OOO. This is held by
Whittell under two trusts, which Luning
now asserts he was induced to execute
through fraud and Misrepresentation at a
time when he was incapable of transacting
business on account Of his over-indulgence
in liquor. The case takes the form of
suit in equity. Andrew D. Parker, prom
inent members of the New York bar. is one
of the Luning attorneys.

night or day to the first floors to avail
themselves of the lavatory and closet ac-
commodations.

THE BOYS IN BLUE
Bidding Their Friends Farewell Before
They Depart

SAN BERNARDINO, May 5.-The long
agony of suspense is over and the soldier
boys are prepared for departure to the
front. Yesterday the whole city was as
active as though it was beleaguered by the
surrender. Everybody was on the streets
and the armory was the center of the uni
verse, being thronged all day and night
until late hour, and even the spectators
were driven out by orders of the COM
manding officer, so 10th were they to go,
that he might say few words to his men
before parting for the night.
When the drill commenced there were
over $50 men in line, and while 100 of these
were marched out on the street for drill,
the others were formed into squads for
drill in the armory. An interesting fea-
ture Of the evening was the arrival Of the
commissions of the new officers who were
recently elected over the company. These
were Captain o. P. Sloat First Lieutenant
w. c. Seccombe and Second Lieutenant u.
c. Schlott. The retiring captain, T. Fl.
Goff, made his farewell speech and turned
the company over to the new captain, amid
the cheers Of the boys, with whom both
officials are very popular. Then came the
reading Of the orders to march, and as the
time was named for $40 a. m., Friday, the
cheers broke out long and loud, but when
the orders following were read that only
eighty-four men would be taken, there
were over a score of disappointed ones Dr.
Mackechnie was called in and told to pick
out the eighty-four men whom he thought
would be- sure to pass the examining
surgeon, which he did and the others
turned homeward sorrowfuly.
The boys have been on their arms almost
for the past three days, as they have been
ordered to keep within sound of the bug!e
for assembling and it has been at their own
expense, several of the boys even coming
from out of town. When this was made
known paper was started for them, and in
a couple of hours over hundred dollars
was raised for them, and when they leave
tomorrow morning they will be loaded with
good things.
The knights of Pythias and Rathbone
Sisters will act as an escort to the boys
in blue to the depot in the morning, al
though it is at a very early hour for
parade. They will be accompanied by the
whole city almost.
AS soon as Company X has departed the
balance of the company, nearly hundred
strong, will meet at the armory and elect
officers and go right to work preparing to
send another Company X to the front
whenever wanted.

SAN DIEGO, May accompany B, N. q.
c., comprising one hundred men and seven
officers, who have been under waiting
orders to leave for San Francisco, left on
the las train this afternoon. The depar-
ture was made memorable event in the
history of this city. The city turned out
almost en- masse to bid the soldier boys
goodbye, and hundreds of the school
children were lined up on the line of
march from the armory to the depot. The
procession was headed by the City Guard
band and then followed the members of
G. A. R. posts and naval reserves. Tho
mayor and city council acted as a semi
official guard of honor, and as the men
embarked on the train cheer after cheer
was given for the Stars and Stripes and
Company of the national guards.

A GREAT DEMONSTRATION
Pomona's Farewell to Her Gallant
Volunteers


POMONA, May 5.-Last evening wit
messed the greatest public demonstration
ever held in this city. Everybody was on
hand at the band stand adjoining the fire
hall, where seats had been provided, and
the stand gracefully decorated for the
farewell reception of the volunteers. Sharp
at 1880 the band left for the armory to es-
cort their company to the grounds and
amid red fire and the booming of anvils
the boys in blue marched 100 strong to
seats reserved for them close to the speak
ers stand. A terrific ovation was given
them as they marched up and took their
seats. Frank Raynes, the chairman of the
evening, called the meeting to order and
interspersed with music by the band and
patriotic airs by select chorus, under the
direction of Prof. Hunter, the following
enthusiastic addresses were delivered:
"Our Country" S. NJ. Haskell; 1.-THE Navy"
Hon. George w. Merrill; 1.-THE Blue and
the Gray" Hon. J. E. McComas; Company
D." Prof. Molyneaux; 1.-THE Duties of a
Soldier" John Wasson; "Our Flag" ].
Albert Dole, and America" p. e. Tonner.
The poem written especially for the oc-
casion and entitled Farewell, Company
D." composed by p. c. Tonner, was read
by Mr.. Tonner himself and was received
with prolonged applause, the anvils adding
to the general uproar. Never was such a
turnout or such enthusiasm witnessed in
this city before. Over the speakers stand
and in large letters was the following in
scription, Remember the Maine," and in
front of the chairman's stand was the fol-
lowing, "What's the Matter with Dewey?"
The occasion will long be remembered by
our citizens and was in every way worthy
of the occasion. Tonight another immense
demonstration will be held as the boys
leave in the morning. Two cars now on
the side-track for the conveyance of the
troops to Los Angeles, will be decorated
this afternoon by the ladies and tomorrow
morning at o'clock the anvils will COM
mence to boom to gather the public to-
gether for the final farewell, the boys
leaving at 7:3O o'clock. The school children
will all be in attendance and a general war
of roses will be indulged in as the train
pulls out. The Pomona Times will issue
special farewell edition.
Il. D. Green has signed the contract for
the building Of the Sisters school.
There were stirring times at the recent
council meeting over points of order.
