War Almost Certain.

Unless Spain backs down before
Monday there is sure to be war.
President Mckinley has done all
he can to avert it with honor. By
to-day Saturday, all Americans
will have left Cuba. Consul Gen
eral Lee will be he last one to
leave. The President will! then
send in his message to Congress
Monday.
The program for the departure of
Gen. Lee from Havana, was an
nounced tonight and is as follows:
The Ol;vette will enter Havana
hsrbol. on Saturday morning and
Gen. Lee will at once notify all
Americans that this will be their
last chance to leave island under
the American flag. After all are on
board the steamer, including the
United States consuls from the
various ports of Cuba, Gen. Lee will
pull down the American flag from
the consulate, will turn over the
archives to tne British consul, Col
lin, and will go aboard the Olivette,
which will at once sail for Key
West.
1t is possible that one of the gun
boats or cruisers at Key West will
accompany the Olivette so Havana
to protect the Americans as the
laat of them leave the city. The
Olivette will reach Key West on
Saturday night or Sunday night, il
the United States consuls cannot
reach Havana before Sunday.

Maryville is so on to have a Steam
Laundry. Will Huffstetler and
Will Simmons have bought the
Creamery plant and will run the
Creamery as formerly, but will add
more to the store room and put in
machinery necessary to run first
class Laundry. This is good loca-
ton as they already have the steam
power and it will not cost them so
much to get started. A Laundry
will undoubtedly pay in Maryville
and we congratulate Messrs Huff
stetler & Simm ons and wish them
great success.

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.
A Horrible State Of Affairs Un-
earthed by Chief Of Police.

Chief of Police Dwyer, in company
with Officers Maley and Fisher, made
an astounding discovery last night.
They went down to 321 M street
and arrested Mrs Crawford and Mrs,
Westlake for cruelty to children, it
having been stated that the two wo-
men were in the habit Of going out
at night and leaving small children
alone, with a. lamp burning in the
house.
They found small cottage Of two
rooms in the rear of the house, and
in the rooms were five children sleep
ing, the oldest not being more than
years DID, A large lamp was burning
in the room, and the women were alb
sent and had left the door open. II
is vile den, and the negro, Rice Hays
and others Of his class have been
habitues of the house. Chief Dwyer and
the officers say that they never in their
lives saw such an awful scene of
squalor and filth as the children were
in The stencil was something fearful
The two women and the children We're
taken to the station, where the former
will be charged with cruelty to the
latter.
The children will be taken to-day to
the Children's Day Home by officer
Healy, until the courts decide what is
to be done with them, as the mothers
are clearly unfit to have ther custody

DEAR PASTURAGE.
TuIe is Not So Good as Hay, but 1t
Comes Higher.

There is at least one Chinaman who
will not take his horses over into Yolo
County for pasture hereafter, and this
is why.
Louis Ching lives at 800 street and
peddles vegetables through Yolo Coun-
ty as far as Winters and vicinity. Now
Louis has a neighbor and the neighbor
has horse that is old and hardly able
to stand up, being so poor. This neigh
Dor wanted Louis to do him a favor, as
he thought the best way to get rid Of
the old horse was to turn him out to
die. He, therefore, asked Louis to take
him over and turn him out in the tules
and the latter, to his sorrow, consented
and did as requested.
The old horse had notions Of his own
with regard to pasturage, however, and
preferred it nearer to the river, SO he
made his way back to Washington.
Constable Russell fed him and lay
low for Louis on his return He arrest
ed him and took him before the Justice,
who fined him So and rs cents for fees.
Constable Russell says the Yoloites are
tired of having their county made a
dumping ground for worn out animals,
and he proposes to arrest every one do
ing it, so far as he can.
An amusing incident happened in the
court. A very intelligent Chinaman,
who speaks excellent English, appeared
to help the prisoner, and Constable
Russell asked him where he came from
and if he was from Missouri. mo, sir"
he replied, with dignity. II am a thor
oughbred American, born here, and I

Tracey up last night and feel confident
that Muller will hold his own with him.
A we'll known member of the club was
told at the Olympic Club in San Fran

give Tracey the hardest job he has
ever yet had, and Muller himself feels
very confident that he can win.
