DISGRACED
BY JILSON

ETNA, Siskiyou Co., Cal, Jan. 10, 1899
Editor Call: 1 was chairman of the
last Republican County Convention.
do not think there were five men in
that convention that favored Burns for
United States Senator; they were near
ly all for General w. H. L. Barnes. l
spoke to Major A. 6. Myers, who was
a delegate and who has a State repu-
tation as mining man, as to the ex-
pediency of having the convention vote
to instruct Jilson to vote for Barnes.
He said it was not necessary. as Jilson
was all right. Now, in view of Jilson s
action, feel keenly the disgrace he has
placed upon the grand old party here
in Siskiyou. He has not only disgraced
the party, but the county.
If it is true that the executive and
judicial branches of the State govern
ment are for Burns and they succeed
In forcing him upon us against the
wishes of more than SO per cent of the
Republicans of California / say in ali
candor that the Republican party of
California has outlived its usefulness.

GREEN'S TESTIMONY.

I told Leake Wright had
been originally friendly to
Grant and had
voted for Burns. 1 termed
him a political harlot.
He had lunched with
Grant at the Palace grill,
and said If elected to the
Legislature it would give
him a good deal of pleas
ure to vote for Grant.
Knowing that he had ex-
pressed himself as friend
ly to Mr.. Grant l was
willing to make a contri-
button to the cause.
1t was money that Mr..
Grant gave me to spend
in his campaign. This
whole $3.50 was Mr..
Grants money. Wright
stated to a number of peo-
pie that if elected 10 the
Assembly he expected to
support Mr.. Grant. While
there was no promise ex-
acted that he would, yet
1t helped Mr.. Grants as
pirations by securing the
nomination of a gentle
man who had announced
that if elected he would
vote for Mr.. Grant.
Wright came to my Of
flee for the 5000 volun-
tarily. / was told that he
was on his way to Colonel
Burns to get money to
help him in his candidacy.
He had said he disIiked to
go to Burns for money
because Mr.. Grant was
his preference. This was
told me by a gentleman
not in politics. / hate to
bring his name in.

T0-DAY'S TELEGRApHlC n GWS.
Calumpit Besieged.

Ma: lila, April 26.-Geueral Whea.
toms command repaired the bridge over
the Bagbag river this morning. The
volunteers then crossed and attsclsed
the Filipinos in the trenche4 and after
a short but sharp fghtforced the enemy
into Calumpit. The artillery is now
Smelling the town and it is only ques-
ton OF time when General MacArthur's
troops will capture it. A small river
and another trench still interyenes be-
tween the Americans and Calumpit.
General Hale's brigade holds the flank
ing position on the right. The Ameri-
can loss in this mornings fight was
three killed and three wounded. The
tlllpino's loss was small, rs they were
well protected by the earthworks. Gen
ersl Otis finds it impossible TO main
tain telegraphic communication with
General Law;on. Small bands of the
enemy cut the wires as fast as the sig
nal corps can erect them. For this
reason it is impossible to give Gener-
al Lawtou's exact position today. Gen
eral OILS believes, however, that he mas
reached e point very close TO Celumpit
and will be heard from in that direction
some time today. A Spanish officer
was found among the enemy's dead
yesterday. The Americans found nenr-
ly 200 dead natives on the field More
than 500 prisoners were taken during
the days march.
The fighting around Calumpit con-
tinued this afternoon. General Mac
Arthur advanced his men as far IS the
Calumpit church, just outside the town,
The natives are strongly entrenched on
The outskirts OF the town IRON which
they are lighting the American troops.
They are also in force On the opposite
bank of the Rio Grande from which pc
si!ion they are also firing on our troops.
The natives brought artillery into play
today for the first time since the out
break of hostilities. They fired shrap-
mel from several guns in the trenches
but the shot burst over the heads OF
the Americans and so far have done no
damage.
