terey arrived August 4 with three
transports of the third expedition, and
at the time the dispatch vessel left pre-
parations were being made for an i'm
mediate assault upon the city. 1t was
known that General Merritt was only
awaiting these reinforcements to de-
mand the surrender and to give notice
of naval bombardment
Under these circumstances every pre-
caution was taken last Friday to in
form Admiral Dewey and General Mer-
rift with the least possible delay of the
formal signing of the protocol and the
suspension Of hostilities. A speedy
vessel was held at Hongkong under
steam ready to carry dispatches as
soon as they should be cabled to Con-
sui Wildeman. 1t had been deemed in
advisable to send any preliminary
warning to the naval and military
commanders on Thursday or Friday
morning, for fear the VIGOROUSLY dila-
tory and procraStinating methods of
Spanish diplomacy might result in fur
Their postponement of peace. 1t was
reported, however, that Sagasta, who
knew his own intentions better than
any one else knew them, had chartered
a vessel and sent instructions to Gen
eral August on Thursday to offer no
further resistance and to capitulate if
compelled to do so. This, however, has
not been verified and as a proceeding
utterly foreign to meagre exhibitions
of forethought heretofore manifested
by the Spanish government, it receives
no credence from the anxious authorl-
ties in Washington.

DOTS FROM DOCK

At last the longei for ram has
come and the farmers are looking
more cheerful.
The picnic last Saturday at
Black Mingo Baptist church was
an occasion to be remembered by
the young folks for many day.
The exercises OF the Sunday school
were carried out with credit TO all
concerned, the music b4ing ex-
ceptionally fine andthe programme
rendered in a manner that showed
careful training On the part Of
the teachers.
After the exercises were con-
claded the people did ample jus
tice to the splendid dinner served
them. 1t is characteristic Of these
charch members to provide good
dinners on such occasions. When
dinner was over the young folks
enjoyed themselves in various
ways. Nothing happened to mar
the pleasure of the day except the
rain, which fortunately did not
come till after dinner.
The Mingo base ball club chal-
lenged the Indiantown boys to
play with them last Saturday, and
furnished them with dinner at the
picnic ground. Just after dinner
the rain almost caused the visiting
boys to leave, but they finally de
cided to play, and the Mingo boys
never back out of playing any
club; so both teams went to the
ball ground about two miles from
the church. A large crowd left
the picnic ground to see the game,
but the Indiantown boys "burnt
the wind" for home with no ex-
cuse for leaving except that the
ground was too wet. Of course
they did not know it was wet un-
til they made the Mingo boys leave
the picnic and walk two miles to
play them. The club here was
much Disappointed and hopes the
Indians will play the next time
when they are expected to do So.
Mingo does not claim to be able to
handle Indiantown, but she is
willing to try her luck anyway.
Come again, boys, and we will try
and entertain you for two hours at
least.

Spain Sues for Peace.

Washington, July &c: Through
the French ambassador at Washing
ton Spain to-day sent a message to
the President asking for peace. In
the message the Spanish government
desired to know if the United States
would entertain oyertures of peace,
and if the Government would sug-
gest terms by which treaty would
be made. President Mckinley re-
piled favorably to both these Qnes-
tions, and it seems that the end Of
the war is near at hand.

Danger Narrowly Escaped

AS you probably know, the heavy guns
in the turrets are fired by electricity. the
gun being discharged simply by pressing a
button. The officer in command Of the for
ward turret on our ship during rapid-firing
practice was just about to press the button
to fire one of our big guns. when a gun
ner's mate was seen to grab at something
on the wall of the turret and then fall in
heap on the floor. The officer pressed
the button, but the gun was not discharged.
When the mate came to he was asked
what had happened, and he informed the
officer that the breech of the gun had not
been locked, and that what he grabbed at
on the wall were the wires forming the
electric firing circuit. When he saw that
the officer was prepared to fire the gun
and at the same time observed that the
breech of the gun was not locked, the only
thing that occurred to him to prevent the
guns being discharged was to destroy the
circuit which he did. promptly and ef-
fectively.
When all this occurred there was a
charge of 250 pounds of powder in the gun,
another charge of the same size in the
turret ready to be served, and the passage
way leading to the powder magazine was
wide open. But for the quickness of the
gunner's mate, the gun would have been
discharged, the breech block would have
blown out inside the turret, the gases
from the burning powder would probably
have ignited the charge lying in the tur-

Universal Brotherhood

At 525 West Fifth street, H. B. Leader
spoke on the subject Of Magic" He said
in part: There is one force in the universe
which manifests in many different ways
such as love and hate, expansion and con-
traction, altruism and selfishness, the
tendency to unity and the reverse; the pos
tive aspects Of these make for brother
hood and the uplifting Of the race, their
negative aspects stultify and brutalze
men.
Magic comes to us all down the ages as
the sacred science, that knowledge of hid
den powers in nature which enables the
man who has to some extent gotten behird
the veil of matter, into the realm of finer
forces, to either use them for the good of
all, as sympathy, compassion, altruism.
the abnegation of personal desires, or the
reverse by means of greed, malice, vim
dictiveness and lust to injure mankind.
1.-THE so-called miracles of Jesus, Apol-
lonius, and, in our own day, Schlatter are
instances of the former, while hypnotists,
vivsectionists and paid psychics, evidence
the latter.
Magic is white or black, according to the
motive with which such forces are manipu-
lated"

FRACTURED HIS SKULL
BLACKMAN BADLY INJURED AT
THE COUNTY JAIL
He Was Found Lying in Pool of
Blood by Trusty-An Oper-
alton Found Necessary

w. r. Blackman, the former treasurer Of
the Los Angeles Lighting company. sus-
tanned a serious injury in the county jail
yesterday, where he is awaiting sentence
for embezzlement. Shortly after noon
Blackman, who is confined In the lower
tank. began pacing in the corridor between
the row of cells, taking exercise. He was
the only person in the space at the time
and claimed that when at the end he was
seized with a fainting spell and fell against
the wall. striking the back of his head upon
sharp corner of the ironwork. He was
rendered unconscious How long Black
man lay there he does not know, but he
was discovered by one of the TRUSTEES who
happened to go out of his cell.
A large pool of blood showed that the
PROSTATE man had been badly cut, and
upon investigation it was learned that the
skull had been fractured on top near the
back in addition to a good-sized scalp
wound. Blackman was unconscious for
quite while after he had been helped to
a couch. He did not have any recollection
of how the accident had occurred exactly
but explained 1t by the claim of a fainting
spell. On the other hand, the accident
might have been planned deliberately. in
the hopes Of escaping his fate, which will
be determined by Judge Smith on Wednes-
day. the time for passing sentence.
Blackman was removed to the county
hospital, where it was necessary to per-
form an operation. The skull was pressing
upon the brain. The operation was sue
cessfu. piece of bone an inch square be-
ing removed. At late hour Blackman
was reported to be resting easily.
