MAILS IN CASE OF WAR.
How Postoff1ce Authorities Will Send
Letters to Cuba

New York, April 21-There has been
considerable inquiry at the general post
ONCE regarding the safety of American
ocean mails in case there should be war
between this country and Spain, also
as to how mails would be sent from
here to Havana and other Cuban
points.
A. M. Maze, superintendent of mails,
said today:
IN case of war we would send mail
TO CUBA by every available means. 1t
would be safe except in American or
Spanish vessels. So far we have re-
ceived no definite instructions upon the
subject from the postoffice department
at Washington.
What orders will be sent I am I'M
able to say, as the postal situation
would be without a precedent"
Mr.. Maze said that it was intended to
send Havana mail on the Ward Line
steamship Seneca, to sail tomorrow.
At the Ward line office it was stated
that the Seneca would sail at 3 o'clock
tomorrow, and that Havana mails
would be carried from this port.
In case actual hOStilitieS become i'm
minent before the Seneca leaves, would
the mails be sent on her?" was asked.
IF the company's officers would take
them, they would certainly go, unless
we received orders from Washington to
hold Them" Mr.. Maze replied.

TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE
Meet the Train Bringing the Troopers
From Fit Logan.

At 7:40 last night when the train of
nine stock cars, two freight, one bag
gage, three tourist and one Pullman,
bearing Companies B and of the Sec
ond cavalry to Chattanooga, arrived,
there was a crowd of 1000 people packed
on the depot platform waiting to greet
the soldiers.
From one end of the platform to the
other and back through the waiting
rooms of the depot the crowd was Seeth-
ing and surging. Women and children
were crushed and panic was narrowly
averted when the crowd fell back to
make room for the engine.
The train left Fort Logan, Denver,
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, and
stopped at Hutchinson four hours on
Wednesday for dinner and to feed and
water the horses. From Hutchinson the
train went right through to Kansas
City, where it was turned over to the
Missouri Pacific.
AS soon as the train stopped alongside
the depot platform. one of the trumpet
ers sounded reveille, and as the echOing
assembled on the platform commenced
to cheer. Some one started the cry,
Remember the Maine" and from then
until the train left, it was repeated ev-
cry half minute, and the crowd and the
troopers Joined in the cheering. The
soldiers had a song of their own COM
position, the chorus ending with Ike
member the Maine The soldiers also
,
with Remember the Maine"
Every body remembers the rallying
cry of the Mexican war" said a troop
er. 1T is still fresh in the minds of
many people that the Alamo massacre
was one of the most cruel and heartless
butcheries that ever took place and
the same people who remember that
massacre will remember the rallying
cry of remember the Alamo that was
used all through the war and that more
than once turned victory out of de-
feat. There is no doubt but that the
rallying cry of remember the Maine
will be used in the coming war and Will
go down in history as the battle cry OF
the Cuban war"
While the train stopped the horses in
the stock cars were watered and the
troopers with shining cartridges stick
ing out of the thimble belts and with a
heavy Colts revolver peeping out of
their hostlers, presented a wierd spec
tacle as they fitted around in the dark
with only a torch or two aiding them
in their work of watering
In the Pullman occupied by the Off
GERS sort of evening levee was held.
Capt. Fowler, Capt. Hutchins, Lieut..
Lockridge, Lieut.. Winn, Lieut.. Paine
and Lieut.. Stills received the officers of
the local companies and answered all
their questions in a, courteous manner.
''Nobody wanted to be left behind"
said Lieut.. Lockridge. ''All wanted to
come In my mind there is no doubt
but that we will have war with Spain
and serious war. 1t will not be over
in a month or so but we shall see plenty
of fighting. L suppose that the battles
win mostly if not all be fought on Gu
ban soil.''
After stop of 20 minutes the train
left for Kansas City amid the cheers of
the great crowd.

FOR THE ROSE CARNIVAL
Al San Rafael Engrossed in Flower
Fete Preparations.

San Rafael, April 21.-'"The rose car
nival' These are about the only words
one can hear in the 'tcity of roses at
present On the streets, in hotel lob
bies, in the clubs and on the trains, it
is all the same. By some subtle process,
probably owing to the correlation of
ideas, the very air seems to have be-
come redolent of roses.
Arches are going up all over town to
the clinxing tune of the hammer and the
rasping tenor of the saw The grand
arch will be situated on Fourth street
between A and B, just opposite the
postoffice.
The arch will be of redwood, brought
from the region of Duncans Mills by
Robert Dollar, the lumber man, and
will be so constructed that the bark
will produce a most artistic effect. The
roof of evergreens will be surmounted
by ''Old Glory" Palms and roses, the
carnival colors, and rows of incandes-
cent lights will put on the finishing
touches. There will be neither bunting
nor anything else to produce a stereo-
typed effect
The volunteer firemen of San Francis
co have signified their acceptance OF
the invitation to attend the carnival
with all their paraphernalia.

New York, April 21-The season at
Coney Island began in earnest yester-
day.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
Photographs Taken by Observers in
British India

oA1IAo4 1lo1d
TALNI, British India (between Am
rasti and Nangpu), Jan. 22.-The obser-
walton of the eclipse of the sun today by
e. w. Maunder and c. T. Waite was
most successful. The sky was perfectly
clear and the light during the middle
of the totality equalled full moon. The
generalshapeo of the suns corona was the
same as during the eclipse of 1886 and
that of 1896. The corona extended over
two diameters from the sun, and it's
greatest extent was along the suns
equator. Photographs were obtained on
a scale of AS inch to the suns diameter,
and also on the scale of 1-10 inch to get
the coronal extensions. The spectrum
of the chronosphere and it's prominence
was successfully observed with an opera
glass fitted with a direct vision prism
in one of the eye-pieces. The three
photographs of the corona were obtained
on scale of 7-10 inch to the suns dia-
meter and also on the scale of 1-10 inch,
Good spectrum photographs were OBJ
tained. The spectrum of the flash was
obtained with prsmatic camera and a
six-inch telescoue.
The Lick Observatory party, under
Professor Campbell, wires that the sky
is clear and that observations have been
successful. The light in the middle of
totality was greater than the full moon,
and the general shape of the corona was
similar to the eclipses of 1886 and 1896. 1t

quest in the matter of the Clark murder
was called at HAS this morning, and
Mrs. Clark, wife of the murdered man,
was on the stand till LIS p. M, when an
adjournment was taken until after the

most revolving, the witness admitting
that the prisoner is the father of one or
more of her children. She testified that
the prisoner threatened to get her hus-
band out of the way that he might marry
her, and that she promised to marry
him should anything happen to her hus-

to the anxiety of the committee having
the matter in charge to inaugurate the
exposition upon the anniversary of the
discovery of gold in California.
President F. L. Baker praised the ex-
hibit committee for it's faithful labors.
and introduced Hon. NJ. p. Snyder, may
or of the city, who briefly addressed the
assembly as follows:
1t has sometimes occurred to me that we
of Southern California do not fully appre-
ciate that we live in the most perfect
land under the sun, where all the condi-
tions of life are the most favorable. We
who have resided here for a few years
cannot help being impressed with the truth
of this, and ii seems to me that it should
be the personal duty of evry fortunate res
ident of Southern California to aid in the
dissemination of facts regarding it.
The Merchants and Manufacturers as
socation is an important factor in this i'm
portant work, and the City of Los Angeles
is to be congratulated that 1t possesses so
| enterprising and progressive a body. We
know that every day brings its renewed
health and Vigor. Here, by reason Of per-
feet health man occupies high plane
with more energy and a large ambition
winch enables him TO accomplish great re-
suits. He conceives and carries out large
enterprises to add to the general fund of
pleasure and prosperity.
This, the opening night of a permanent
home products exhibition in the City of
Los Angeles, is most notable epoch in the
history of phenomenal progress When the
OLD settlers-the pioneers-stop for a mo-
ment to think of the past, they scarce be-
lieve what they today is real. Some
times it seems a dream to me- when nv
mind carries me back to those days when
this was sleepy pueblo, a town of scat
/ tered adobes and handful of hardy, con-
tented people. How different from today.
