Leader. Il: There was a little
u necessary excitement IN regard to the
Gar5in.tou case this morning. \. rumor
was III circulation on the streets that no
stay Of execution having been filed with
the clerk Of the court Sheriff Donahoe
was gong ahead arranging for the hang
ing tomorrow on schedul. time. 1t is
not necessary TO tile Il stay in Il criminal
case. Section 1906 Of the compiled laws
says:
A writ OF error from the supreme
court TO remove and re examine or re-
view a judgment of conviction, stays the
execution Of the judgnen: in all capital
cases"
1t will thus be seen that the fling OF
the writ of error was equivalent to a stay
OF judgment.
Darlington was today removed to his
old cell down stairs among the common
prisoners and the watch that has been
with him since he was sentenced has
been removed.

members Of congress hat a war with
Spain will be like a French duel is based
upon a mis- conception Of the Spanish
character. They seem to think that it is
only necessary for us to send a fleet to
Cuba, lombard a town or two and tell
the Spanish to get out. But they will
learn by bitter and bloody experience
that. as Gen. Miles says, "War is not a
festival" and that, when cornered, the
spaniards Will fight like wildcats. l pre-
dict, unless the European powers inter-
vene, that it will be a long and bloody
struggle, and that when the Spanish
army evacuates Cuba it will leave Il
heap Of uninhabited ruins. When | was
in Havana a year ago the Suanish resi-.
dents used to assert, with fire in their
eyes. hat rather than give up the
island, either to the insurgents or to a
foreign power. they would destroy every
thing Of value upon its surface and leave
not one stone upon another. That is the
Spanish disposition. and II is the natural
thing for them TO do. What they can.
not keep they will destroy, and the Gu
ban exlles now in this city believe it will
be the fate of their beloved ,slant.

The real point at issue underlying all
this wrangle in congress over the pass
age OF a Cuban resolution and the part
the United States will play in the mat.
ter Is what responsibility will she incur
by Intervening and what responsibility
Will size incur by recognizing independ-
ence and Intervening. 1t appears from
the general trend Of the arguments that
if independence of the Cuban republic is
recognized, having achieved it's sover-
eighty by revolution the republic would
throw off all old obligation of Spin laid
upon the island and intervention Of the
United States to put an end to hostilities
and establish this new government would
free the United States from any respon-
slbility from these obligations, 100000
600. But to intervene and drive the
Spaniards out would be simply to assume
SPANS obligations based upon the rev.
enues Of the island, and whatever gov.
eminent the United States then set up
in Cuba would virtually be of her own
creation and protection and she would
have to see that these obligations were
transferred to the new government or
assume them herself. With the opposi-
ton manifested by the insurgents
against assuming any Of these obllga.
tions. the United States would naturally
have TO assume a protectorate over the
island uLtil the obligations were met.
ana This Is more than congress wants to
assume, hence the impression that the
house 10 It's resolution has fallen into a
trap in following the presidents lead.

PLACING BOOKS

Old Accounts of the San Fran cisco and San Jose Road
 Resurrected.
Attorney Galpin Promises to Show Op Sone Juggling With
 Figures.

The suit of Charles B. Polhemus to re- cover s3000 with compound interest run ming back many years from the estate of Charles Mayne was opened in Judge Seawells court yesterday morning. The suit. while quite complicated. Is very in teresting in that 1t promises many sen- sational developments, and will involve searching through railroad transactions of the past thirty years.
 The San Francisco and San Jose Rail- road was originally built by Polhemus, Newhall and Donahue, each controlling one-third of the stock. According to the allegation of Attorney Galpin in the open ing statement the road kept running be- hind, and the individual members of the firm would loan the corporation money drawing interest at the rate of Ia per cent a month. Polhemus began to run short and had recourse to Mayne, from whom he borrowed considerable, giving Mayne in exchange one-half of his one third of the stock. Subsequently the road was sold to the Southern Pacific Company for $3, 200 ,0000 while Polhemus was abroad. Polhemus now alleges that when he returned and asked for an ac- counting he was informed by Mayne that there were no profits from the sale, as all the money had been sunk in improve ments to the road, purchase of real es- tate, etc. Later Mayne died, and in the litigation of his estate the fact was de veloped that Mayne had profited $500 ,000 by the sale of the road. Polhemus now declares himself entitled to one-half of this principal. which, with interest to
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-15

date, amounts to something like $500. .0OO
 The morning session of the court was taken up with listening to MT. Galpin S opening statement and the afternoon to Joseph L. Wolcott, who acted as secre- tary and bookkkeeper for the company up to the time of the sale of the road to the Southern Pacific. MT. Galpin then read long document which he claimed was statement of the condition of af- fairs just prior to the sale Of the roaa; nnd He showed the paper to the witness ana asked if he recognized it. MT. Wolcott at once admitted the authenticity of the document and stated that it was made from the books of the company under his direction for the purpose of closing the books.
 A set of books which the prosecution claims to be the original books of Polhe- mus, Donahue and Newhall was then opened and various items in the state ment were compared with those in the books and were found to agree in almost every particular. The attorneys for the prosecution hope by this means to prove the genuineness of the books and have them introduced as evidence
 The case will be resumed this morning.
