they have defeated the Spanish forces OF
the island and the American flag floats as
ruins of tho Cavite fortress in Manila har-
Dor.
This is the idea of the military advisers
of the administration, and the president mas
approved the plans. The first section of
the army to invade will be the $1,000 or
$1,000 troops that are now assembled at
New orleans and Tampa. They are all reg
uars and most of them are men who have
seen actual fighting on the plains. They
are seasoned, disciplined effective.
They will be followed BIZ another army of
0oo volunteers, who will be concentrat ID
at Southern ports as quickly as trains can
carry them andwill be transported as fast rs
the necessary ships can be secured.
1t is estimated that it will take at leas,
300 vessels 10 carry this immense army to
cuba. Nearly everything that floats has
already been secured by the government
and the wires ere kept hot in all directions
directing contracts to be closed at once in
all the principal seaport towns All other
details of the great expedition have been
arranged.

ELECTRIC IRON MILL POWER

There Is project now we'll advanced
in Pittsburg that Is Of special interest
to the people of Los Angeles. 1t has beer
demonstrated, 1t is claimed, that the
large iron manufactures of Pittsbure
can save twenty-five per cent Of the ex-
pense Of power by using electricity. The
test has passed the experimental stage
and one of the large companies is put
ting in an electric plant at an expense
of 100000 1t Is the Pennsylvania Tube
works.
This is the first introduction in the
United States of electricity for power
in a large iron mill. 1t is believed thai
the assured success of the venture, as
claimed, will lead other large iron con-
Germs to make a similar change, and
that eventually the whole iron industry
of Pittsburg will be operated by electric
power.
OF course the electricity to be uset
in the pittsburg mill will be generated
by coal. If Pittsburg happened to have
q Niagara handy, the cost of operating
with electricity would be much further
reduced. The marked success of waite,
electric plants wherever they have beer
operated proves that great saving Is
obtained as compared with the use O,
coal.

VUVCUNII IuUV UUNlU BALLARD.

Mr.. Gage and attempted to refute the
charge that Mr.. Gage received the nomina-
tion for governor at the hands OF the rail-
road. His argument is novel. II nothing
else. He says the accusation Is the bog!e-
man-the same old Republican argument
in a slightly changed form. He says Mr..
Gage made the frs; speech ever delivered
In Southern California in favor OF San
Pedro as a harbor; that he has refused to
take law cases from the Southern Pacific
company at any price; and, finally, that the
Southern Pacific company is not very bad
corporation, anyway. From these iacts'
and a personal acquaintance with Mr.. Gage
for 12 years. Mr. Stevens draws his con-
clusion that Mr.. Gage has no railroad con-
Iections."
The peculiar part OF Mr.. Stevens defense
Is that he stops short Of the.real question.
He treats of Mr.. Gage as lawyer. He has
not said a word in defense of Mr.. Gage
since he ceased to be a lawyer and became
,politic:an. Wha; has Mr.. Stevens to say OF
the notorious political record Of Mr.. Gage
for the last three months? Was 1t that OF
the honest lawyer or that OF an ambitious
office seeker, who, owing to his inexperi-
ence, was compelled 70 solici; the assist
ance and receive the aid Of political bosses
and railroad manipulators? Mr.. Stevens
may write ntce things about the childhood
and private live of Mr.. Gage and be patted
on the back for his pains by the personal
admirers Of Mr.. Gage. but the voters are
more deeply concerned with the conduct OF
Mr.. Gage after the first visit Of Col. Burns
to this city, when each discovered the other
and arranged the governorship to the mu-
tual satisfaction of both. II not in accord
ance with the wishes Of the people OF
Southern California and Of the state.
Since Mr.. Stevens has volunteered infor-
nation concerning the early life of Mr.
Gage, 1t is now in order for him to offer
some explanation of the nomination of his
man upon slated railroad ticket at the
hands of a monopolis,ic Republican state
