TOWN TALES.

The dispatch in yesterday morning s
Spy announcing the death of Major
John A. Logan in the Philippines re-
calls many incidents of his daring to
members of the Emmett Guards in this
city. Maj. Logan, who died leading a
charge of a battalion of the Thirty
third volunteer infantry, hardly sur
prised the members of the Emmets, as
that brave officer many times exposed
himself while in Cuba in manner that
merited recognition from his superior
officers.
It seems strange to members of the
Emmets that Maj. Wilkinson of the
Third infantry, who was also in the
same brigade, should have lost his life,
as both officers were at one time closely
identified with the Ninth regiment.
The Emmets, being part of the Ninth
regiment were brlgaded with the Tenth
and Third regular army infantry regi-
ments under Gen. John c. Bates, who
is now looking after the interests OF
the United States government in the
island of Sulu in the Philippines.
Maj Logan was on his staff and it
was his duty, being a staff officer, to
look out for the interests of the bri-
gade. He talked with many of the
boys of the Ninth, and it was he who
plotted the Ninth through the meshes
and almost impossible brush in
Cuba to its position on the extreme
left of the firing line, and it was he
who assigned them to the important
position of holding the road which ran
into Santiago. When the regiment
passed Gen. Bates on the following
morning after the battle of San Juan
hill, Mai. Logan remarked on the size
and quality of the men, and the old
general who is now telling funny sto-
ries to Hadji Mohammed, laughed and
said they would be good soldiers but
for their Springfield rifles
On the night of July 2, when the me-
morable attack was made, Maj Logan
was with Lieut.. Col. Logan of the
Ninth and Maj. Wilkinson Of the Third
was with the late Mai. Grady, who
gave up his life for his country. The
important position of the Ninth was
one that required military skill to hold
and all the officers lent their assistance
to see that the regiment held it. Mai.
Logan climbed up on to the bank of the
intrenchment and leading the boys out
of the trench, hurried among the trees,
and when the firing ceased he was Civ
en- a cheer His soldierly bearing will
always be remembered by the boys Of
the Ninth and yesterday one of them
remarked that 1t was a shame such a
man as he should die.
He would recommend our fighting
abilities to anyone" the member said,
and if he was in Worcester instead
of lying dead in that far-off land, he
would be able to testify to our ability
in defiance of the slanderous attacks
made on our regiment by man who
remained at home, and then criticised
year after, when the trouble was ali
over"

THE DREYFUs CASE.

Friends OF the Prisoner See Little
Hope Of Justice Being Done.
PARIS, Feb 1.-The most ardent
supporters of the theory that Dreyfus
was unjustay condemned now admit
that there is no longer the least hope
that justice will be done. A prominent
member Of the University of Paris, who
from the first has been a militant
champion of a. revision for trial, says:
For ninety-nine out of 100 French
men the guilt or innocence of Dreyfus
is matter Of sentiment. All the rea-
soning in the world would not induce
them to change their attitude. There
are millions of Frenchmen who will in
sist upon Dreyfus' guilt, in spite of any
proof to thes contrary. A feature of the
situation is that the attitude of this ma
jcrity is dictated by motives which they
believe to be deserving of the highest
respect. admit that some Of the Drey-
fusards are much to blame for this
The best cause may be ruined by dis
reputable adherents, and there are men
on the Dreyfus side of whom every pa
trictic Frenchman is the natural enemy.
While the majority of US have been
merely demanding that justice should
be done, a persistent majority has made
this demand an excuse for viruIent on
slaughts on institutions we hold in
great esteem
In conclusion, the member of the Uni
versity predicted that the result Of the
agitation will be ian onslaught Of I'M
paralleled violence on the Jews, as the
masses are convinced that they are at
the bottom of the whole trouble"

Precautions Taken to Prevent q
Further Spread Of Disease.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IA special
meeting of the Board of Health of this
city was held to-day for the purpose OF
discussing the smallpox situation. The
Health Officer reported that there are
at present eleven developed cases of
smallpox in various stages of the dis
ease, and seven almost recovered. There
are also two or three other cases under
surveillance in which there are no
definite symptoms as yet. All the cases
could be traced, SO the Health Officer
thought, to the HOegermann cases on
Thirty ninth street, and on Seventh and
San Pedro streets. Nevertheless, the
cases were developing SO rapidly that
every possible requirement should be
adopted for preventing a spread of the
disease. This was especially true of
the requirements as to vaccination.
It was moved and carried that all
those who had come in contact with
smallpox cases be quarantined, accord
ing to the regulations of the board.
A statement to the public was pre-
pared and given out for publication
as follows:
AT the present time there are eleven
cases Of smallpox in this city. Every
precaution has been taken by the
Health Department to prevent the fur
Their spread Of the disease, but as an
additional safeguard the Board Of
Health recommends general vaccination
of all citizens. Stations for free vac
cination will be established at once at
convenient points, and will be amply
supplied with pure virus"
