REPATRIATION OF
SPANISH SOLDIERS
Philippine Army Will Be Sent
Home With All Possible
Dispatch

NEW YORK, Feb. GA Washington
special to the Herald says: Before
making a formal contract for the re-
patriation of Spanish troops in Manila,
the War Department Is awaiting adj
vices as to their number from General
Otis. That officer has been sent two
messages asking him to wire the num-
Der of Spaniards who wish to be sent
home. but 1t is presumed that the con-
fiict with the natives has prevented a
reply. Just as soon as the information
is received the contract will be entered
into with the Campagnia Transatlan-
tique, 1t having been found to have
submitted the lowest bid. 1t viii be
urged to send Its steamers as quickly
as possible TO Manila, so that the troops
NAV be out of the city without delay.
1t is recognized by the War Depart
ment that the presence of such a large
number of Spaniards is a menace to the
American troops. Besides it is pointed
out that Otis finds 1t necessary to detail
a strong force TO guard them and pre-
vent an outbreak, which might be dis
astrous. There are thought to be
about IA, 900 Spaniards, and should they
repossess themselves of their arms and
ammunition Otis force would have a
difficult task of II fighting enemies
without and enemies within the city.

DECISION OF ANGELL0TTI
TRUSTEE A. SYLVIA SHRILLS A
DEFIANT NOTE.
Sausalito Must Suffer From "Touts''
and ''Mudhens" Because Property
Owner Noble Suffered No
Specific Injury.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 6.-Through a
mere legal technicality the gambling
cohorts OF Sausalito have virtually
scored another triumph over those SUBJ
urban residents who object to the daily
presence of a horde of race-track
"touts" and "mudhens," whose actions
have already given the town a mall
odorous reputation and caused it to de-
preciate rapidly in value as summer
resort. The demurrer to the petition Of
II. II. Noble for an injunction restrain
ing William Harrison and Joe Harvey
from operating poolrooms, on the
ground that they constituted a public
nuisance, was sustained to-day by the
decision that a specific instance Of in
jury to property had not been proved.
Noble, who is a well-known citizen Of
Sausalito, filed a complaint against the
poolroom men and the property owners
in whose buildings the bets are laid on
Eastern races as long ago as last Oc-
tober. He asked for an injunction on
the grounds that gambling resorts were
a public nuisance and were causing
property values to depreciate. It was
alleged that owing to the proximity Of
his own property to the gaming re-
sorts he suffered more on account OF
their presence tnan dld the majority OF
citizens and that the presence Of the
riffraff of the metropolis was a men
ace to ladies and tended to contaminate
the youth of the community
A demurrer was interposed and the
case taken under advisement by SuDc-
rior Judge F. NJ. Angellotti fast Mon
day. He sustained the demurrer to-
day on the ground that the complaint
did not establish the fact that Mobiles
property had received specific injury,
as required by law. The anti-poolroom
forces have ten days time In which to
amend their complaint, but 1t is be-
lieved improbable that they will do so,
as so many legal technicalities favor
the other side. Judge Angellotti con-
sidered nothing but the case In It's legal
aspects and virtual triumph Is there
by accorded the gamblers and Trustee
Sylvia, who has openly boasted that
even the passage of Atherton's bill
would not prevent the poolrooms carry
ing on their ruinous traffic.
