Another War With Spain.

Some newspapers think the Spanish are
making secret preparations to seize Cuba
and Porto Rico again, and get back what
they lost during the late war. We do not
believe these rumors. Enemies cannot
successfully attack a strong nation like
the United States. Neither can diseases
successfully attack strong constitutions.

ease cannot get a foothold. The best

gestion makes pure blood. Pure blood

SACRAMENTO SOLDIERS.
Company F's Men of the Sixth Will
Soon be Here

Next week will find scores Of men
wearing the blue on the streets of Sac
ramento. On Monday the members of
the Sixth Regiment will begin their
thirty days furlough. at the expiration
of which the regiment will be mus
tered out of the service.
Company F was almost wholly re-
cruited in Sacramento, where most of
the men were employed and had their
homes, and they will naturally spend
most of their furlough here and return
to resume their respective callings when
mustered out.
Captain Lucey, however, doesn't like
the idea of so soon leaving the service.
In order to get to Manila, where there
is a prospect of active duty, he has re-
signed his Captains commission for
the purpose of accepting Lieutenancy
in Battery d of the Heavy Artillery,
which is going to the front.
This is the same battery in which

SAVED FROM HANGING.
Murderer Ed. Searcey Will Not be
Hanged To-Day.

About three years ago negro named
Ed. Searcey was arrested in San Ber-
nardinO County ON suspicion of having
murdered a German named Otto, in
company with whom he was crossing
the desert, following the line of rail-
way.
Searcey was brought to trial, con-
victed and sentenced to be hanged at
San Quentin Prison tomorrow. The
evidence was wholly circumstantial.
Searcey and Otto had been seen to-
gether and subsequently the latter was
found lying by the railroad with his
skull crushed in. He had money on
his person while alive, but when found
his pockets were empty.
1t was further shown that Searcey
boarded a train and rode thirty miles
in the direction Of Los Angeles, but at
that point had changed his mind and
started back for the East. He was
captured and tried, with the result
stated. About the only direct evidence
connecting Searcey with the murder
were a number of footprints in the
desert sands, which were measured by
the officers five days after the murder.
Ever since Searcey's conviction and
sentence a doubt has prevailed among
the people of San Bernardino County
as to his guilt, and some time ago
Governor Budd received a numerously
signed petition praying him to COM
mute the sentence from death to i'm,
prisonment for life. One of the signers
of the petition was the Judge before
whom the case was tried.
After a. careful examination of the
evidence in the case Governor Budd
has decided to grant the prayer Of the
petitioners, and tie Communication will,
it is understood, be issued to-day, and
Searcey will not hang

Better.

There are three boys at the City
Prison who give the names of Henry
Lehman, Edward Kirby and Albert Nc
Manus, respectively 15 16 and 13 years
old, and they are booked for petit lar
ceny.
They came here on Tuesday night.
and have since been working the stores
and shops whenever they could get a
chance. They came to grief, however,
at Isidore Cohn's, on street, near
Fourth. Lehman was outside and the
others went in on some excuse, and
Isidore detected Kirby making away
with some knives, and collared both of
| them. Lehman put on a bold face and
| said, Here, let those boys alone. /
will be responsible for anything they
/ have taken and will pay for it,
He became so insiStent that Cohn fin
| ally hit him a back-handed slap in the
face; whereupon he changed his tac-
| tics and declared he would stay till a
| policeman came and prefer a charge Of
battery against Cohn. When Police Ser
geant Dolan came along, however, all
| three of the boys We're taken to the
station and locked up. Officers Maley
and Fisher and Sergeant Dolan started
in to find out what else the boys had
been doing, and found that the pair Of
shoes Kirby was wearing had been
stolen from the Hub, on street, and
that five handkerchiefs had been stolen
from Bush's, on the corner of Fourth
and K
| Last evening McManus. who is small
for his age, and, apparently, the least
guilty of the three, was questioned by
Chief Of Police Dwyer and Officer
| Fisher and acknowledged that the
| handkerchiefs had been stolen by Leh-
man from "a long, tall showcase" at
Fourth and K streets, and had been
sold by him a. a place which he did
not know. He fell in, he said, with Leh-
man at Port Costa and they came up
on the train together His father

did not know much of the doings of the
other boys. except in regard to the
knives and handkerchiefs, but they had

Lehman is the "hyest kid with
whom the police have come in contact

sessed and confident, with a bright,
Keen eye anu ready tongue, either Tor

able to take care of himself as against
| the officers wiles. He is a High School
| graduate, conversant with Latin and
Greek, and speaks German and English
| fuently. He stood off Chief Dwyer's s
| questioning yesterday afternoon, and
told his comrades, when he returned to
his cell, that 'the big guy could not
make his pump work on him"
| Officer Maley took McManus out last
night to locate the place at which he
had sold the handkerchiefs and found
he had disposed Of them to some wo-
men on lower L street

the best way out of the difficulty was
to take the offered 5000 and depend on
the Yoio Supervisors and the local
Chamber of Commerce to raise the
necessary balance.
1t was finally agreed to accept Haul
ser's offer and to push the work on the
levee to it's completion as quickly as
possible.
Engineer Nurse reported that three
of the lines of piling for jetties at New
town shoals have been driven, and work
on the fourth line is progressing. He
thought the piles would all be driven by
the 10th inst, and that the brush fas-
cines would be in place and the jetty
system finished by the last of this
month.
