OAKLAND DOES NOT
WANT PARK BONDS
Yesterdays Affirmative Vote Falls Short
Of the Necessary Carrying
Majority.

The views expressed in The Call some
months ago regarding the purchase of
Adams Point were evidently those of
many citizens of Oakland for the election
to-day resulted in the defeat of the bond
ing proposition.
Although there was a large majority
in favor Of the bonds the vote was 325
too small to reach the necessary two
thirds vote, and so the city will not at
this time secure the point for a park.
The First and Seventh wards polled
heavy votes against the bonds, and the
Sixth Ward voted almost 4 to / in their
favor. The complete vote is as follows:

A RATTLING GOOD COMEDY.

"a Bachelors Honeymoon" which
will be first seen here at the Olympia
Theater next Tuesday evening, is
described as hilarious farce comedy
The comedy is in three acts, and it
has achieved no little success, John
Stapleton, man who is better known
as stage producer than as an author;
but, if reports are true, Mr.. Stapleton
has evolved an ingenuously compli.
Gated funny farce, kept within the
bounds of probability, and withal
aptly described as absurdly funny.
"a Bachelors Honeymoon" had its
first introduction at Hoyt's Theater,
some weeks ago, and achieved quite a
success, even the passe New York
critics giving it all sorts Of praise. not
only to its intrinsic value as dramatic
piece OF literature, but also the inter-
prefers of the play, viz: the actors.
The plot is described as being simple.
1t has for a motif a man, a widower,
whose name by the way, is Bachelor,
who poses as single man, marries an
actress. and brings her home without
telling her that he has two grown up
daughters. He has placed these two
young ladies in the country until the
time is right and the coast clear
enough to tell his secret to the young
women. But, in the midst of his
honeymoon, the young ladies and the
rest of the family burst in upon him,
much to his confusion. 1t is to keep
this marriage secret from the family,
and to keep the existence Of the family
secret from the wife that the most
ingenious situations are devised.
Incidental to the characters named,
there is Stephen Howstch, q young
man, rather up-to-date Anglo-maniac,
who has been bitten by dog. He is
afraid he will go mad, and uses as an
antidote whiskey. The result is ex-
cessively comical. He imagines he
has hydrophobia and is a dog and
barks when he should talk.
Then there is the usual pair of
lovers, one of whom, DR.. Schwartz, a
German scientist, is participation in
the fun making. Then there is the
spinster sisters. Minerva, an up-to.date
Bostonese, very precise, whose serious
ness also contributes to the fun. In
addition there is the slavey, maid
of all work, who has penchant for
detective stories, who furnishes little
bit OF the plot, and a great deal of fun.
The twin daughters are also innocent
causes OF great many comical COM
plication.
Most of the cast are composed OF
very we'll known people; they in
clude George T. Nash, as Bachelor;

A NATIONAL LOSS.
THE BATTLE-SHiP MAINE BLOWN
UP UP AT HAVANA.

Only 96 Dat of ;,5l Brave Men
Who Constituted Her Crew
SavGd-Was 1t Foul Play or an
Accidcnt?-An Investigation Or
dered-Uron 1t Depend Mighty
Results.
Like thunder-holt from 4 clear
sky came the news Monday that the
L. :. battlcship Maine, the ilcetest and
one of the best war vessels in exist
ence had been blown up in the harbor
of Havana, under circumstances which
justified suspicion of foul play from
the blood-thirsty, treacherous people
whose relations with our country are
just now undergoing a severe tension.
Certain il is that on the big ship Tues
day night, at $40 O'Clock, an explosion
took place which sent her to the bot
tom OF the sea. The explosion was
accompanied by q fearful loss of life.
Out of 3Ji men who constituted the
crew of the Inflated vessel, only SO
were saved.
Many theories are advanced as to
the cause of the disaster. One is that
of spontaneous combustion in the coal
bunkers, another a cross of the dyna-
mo wires. and still another, explosion
of a boiler. Capt. Sigsbec, in COM
mand OF the ship, states as his private
opinion that the disaster was caused
by floating torpedo, but he asks a
suspension of public opinion until the
matter is investigated.
Such disasters have occurred through
accident and the explosion of the U.
S. man-of-war Missouri, at Gibraltar
in 1885, and of the English war-ship
Dotterel, at Punta Arenas, in the
Straits of Magellan, in 1887, are cited
as instances. Still, with the care and
discipline observed aboard a warship
such accidents are unusual, and the
mind reverts to thoughts of the innate
traits of Spanish nature in which the
characteristics of the assassin FREEDOM.
mate.
Amidst many opinions expressed by
naval experts, it is impossible to for
mulate any view now that seems to
be based upon impregnable grounds.
Secretary Long has instructed Admiral
Sicard, at Key West, to appoint a
naval board to proceed at once to
Havana, with divers, and make a
thorough investigation. 1t is said
that the nature of the breaches in the
hull will indicate whether the force
came from without or within, the
main question to be considered for fix
ing the responsibility.
If the disaster proves to have been
the act of Spain and we are to have
war with that power, the motive
could not be better presented for our
country to command the sympathy OF
the sisterhood of nations. If it was
an individual act, Spain may be liable
| for an indemnity which she cannot
pay, and the alternative of obtaining
blood from turnip be presented. If
it was the result Of an accident, the
loss of life and one of our best war.
ships is deplorable, but it leaves a
remnant of respect for the humanity
of nation that has we'll nigh forfeit
ed all title to any feeling but hatred.
