SPAIN TO DEMAND
CHINESE TERRITORY
Collecting Evidence to
That End.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HONGKONG, May 4.-Spain is col
lecting evidence here with a view to
claiming a cession of land in China as
indemnity from the Chinese Govern
ment for permitting the steamer Abbey
to leave Canton last August with arms
for the Filipinos.
The little steamer Abbey, or Abby,
was seized by the armed dispatch boat
of Admiral Dewey's squadron on Sep
tember % last. She was of American
register, though formerly known as the
Pasig. 1t was reported to Admiral
Dewey that she was carrying arms and
supplies of war to the Filipinos and he
sent the McCulloch to intercept her.
When the American cutter finally
found the Abbey in Batangas Bay, on
the southern coast of Luzon, the fill
buster had landed her cargo of arms
and ammunition and the insurgents re-
fused to give them up. Thereupon the
Abbey was seized and taken by the
McCulloch to Manila, in accordance
with Admiral Dewey's desire to main
tain the status quo in the Philippines
pending the conclusion of the work of
the Peace Commission in Paris.

FURTHER EVIDENCE
AGAINST DESIRELLO
Prosecution of the Slayer of James
Johnston at Colma Is Almost
COMPLETED.

REDWOOD CITY, May 4.-The third
day of the trial of Fred DesirelIo for the
murder Of James Johnston ended this
afternoon without any startling develop
ments. Since yesterday afternoon the
time has been devoted to the examination
and cross-eXamination of witnesses for
the prosecution. This morning the pro-
ceedings began with the cross-examina-.
ton of John Vaccari. The defense laid
great stress upon the fact that at the
Coroner's inquest witness testified that
the defendant said he shot to kill. while
at the preliminary examination he adj
mltted on croSs-examination that the
words used We're shot to kill the horses
This comedies with the theory of the de-
fense that Desrello shot at the horses TO
bring them to a halt, as he supposed they
were running away Henry Jensen. the
third boy upon the wagon at the time of
the shooting, gave testimony similar to
that of Naccari. He corroborated Vac
carl in the statement made by defendant.
Shut your = mouth, or I'll put bullet
through you" when Vaccari asked him
why he shot at them. The cross-examina-
ton of the witnesses has been conducted
by Judge E. F. Fitzpatrick and has been
very exhaustive in an effort to shake the
testimony. Before court adjourned three
other witnesses for the prosecution gave
evidence, viz.-Ida Ravn, Lille Ravn and
John Rockford. The prosecution will
probably close some time tomorrow. and
possibly the defense will commence the
introduction of evidence. 1t is likely how
ever, that the case will not go to the Jury
before Saturday afternoon.

PURE FOOD LAW
IS BADLY NEEDED
To Protect Buyers in
America.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, May 4-The Senatorial Pure
Food Investigating Committee held its
second session here to-day. Giles Lewis,
a druggist of this city, testified that while
other countries prevented the selling OF
adulterated goods within their own Dor
ders no provisions were made against eX-
porting them to foreign countries. He de-
clared that the United States received
articles made in Germany and France that
could not be sold in the country where
they were made because of the preSerVa-
tives used. Mr.. Lewis said adulteration
could be divided into two classes, one OF
which was the adding of coloring matter
for the sake of appearance and the other
was to give fictitious values to articles OF
food His advice to the committee was
that a national pure food law be installed
and a permanent commission be Installed
in office the duty of which would be TO
prevent the marketing of any article of
food or drink, domestic or imported, that
was miSrepIeSented The limit OF adul-
teration, he declared, should be governed
by the commission, and the committee
should analyZe all articles and certify to
their purity by Government stamp.
Dr. Wiley next took the stand ana gave
information to the committee regarding
the articles sold in this country which
were adulterated. Among practices that
are fraudulent, yet not injurious TO the
health, he mentioned the sale of hSh OF
cheap variety and grade for more eX-
penStVe kinds, especially nSn packed IN
oil 1t also is a common custom, DR..
Wiley said, for dealers to stamp pack
ages with foreign stamps and deceive the
public into believing 1t was buying inn
ported goods. Horse flesh, according TO
the expert, was commonly used for food
purposes in European countries and la
beled as beef, but he did not know of its
being used to any great extent in this
country. The sales of turtles in restau-
rants for terrapin was also a common
means of defrauding the public.
Famous wines and other drinks of for
eign countries are on sale on American
markets that never saw the color of the
ocean.
Adulterated food and drink which are
injurious to the public health, the witness
said could be classed in two groups-col-
oring and preserving. The coloring mat
ter was used principally because it was
pleasing to the eye and made the food
palatable.
The matter which is used principally
in restoring the color of green peas, the
witness declared, sometimes was salt of
zinc and sometimes salt of copper, either
of which is poisonous, and the use Of
which should not be permitted. Probably
the chemical most used as a preservative,
according to DR.. Wiley, is salycilic acid,
which is made to great extent from car
bolic acid II should not be permitted, he
said, because it was very injurious, espe-
cially to those who have weak stomachs
He ended his testimony by saying that no
food offered for sale which contained pre-
servatives was fit to eat.

YOUNGEST CRIMINAL
Is AGAIN AT LARGE
Ricardo Machado, Suspected of Muir
der and Convicted of Burglary,
Escapes From Whittier.

LOS ANGELES, May 4.-Ricardo Ma
chado, who is probably the youngest
criminal that was ever placed behind the
bars of any Jail in California, is again at
large.
Ricardo is a little Mexican who halls
from San Pedro. and during his residence
on earth of nine years has been tried on a
charge of murder and was a few weeks
ago convicted in the Superior Court of
burglary. Several months ago his play
mate, Willie Schmidt, was shot, and died
a few days late. AS ne and Ricardo had
gone out together on tnat fatal afternoon
Ricardo was accused of the crime and
lay in Jail for several weeks. He told
plausible story while on the witness
stand, declaring that the gun simply went
off and that was all ne could tell about
the affair. Between sobs he clutched his
overalls, that came to his knees, and with
his unkempt hair he presented a most
woebegone picture. When the jury re-
turned verdict of not guilty his parents
took him home, but he soon forgot his
troubles and was caught in the act of rob-
bing a candy store. For this crime he
was speedily found guilty and later sent
to the Whittier Reform School under SEN
tence to remain until he became of age.
To-day the big whistle at the school
sounded the warning that Ricardo had
levanted, and the ranchers and officers
are securing the country for the runa

THE MURDOCH CASE
NEARING THE END
Witness Powers Loses Some of His
Positiveness Under Severe
Cross

WILLOWS, May AT the opening of
court this morning, in the Murdock suit,
Jack Powers was recalled for further
cross-examination. He seemed to lose
some of his positiveness that was prom
inent yesterday. Adam and Ira Comp
ton testified to a trip Ira Compton and
William Murdoch made to Modoc Coun-
ty in 1887. This testimony was directed
to showing that William Murdock was
not at the State Fair IN 1887. Not much
The defense then introduced lot of cop
les of the records of Tehama County,
which they claimed went to contradict
Witness Ashurst and G. w Murdock
The whole financial condition of Tehama
was gone into and put in evidence, but
showed little more than that Tehama
County was in a fair condition in 1877-7S
G. G. Murdoch and his sister, Lizzie
Smith, swore to conversation they had
with the plaintiff in 1881 and 1887, and sew
eraI letters of a social nature were read
in evidence to show that the relation Of
the Lake County Murdocks were friendly
with the plaintiff and her husband in
1SS1-S7.
Mary Compton. sister of William Muir
dock. wished to testify as to what MUIR
ing the note in suit but was shut out by
the court Several dispositions were read
the main one being that of plaintiff,
taken last year.
Just before adjournment the defense
offered a lot of dispositions looking to the
of Witness AshurSt, but
Plaintiffs attorneys objected and this
matter will be argued tomorrow morn
ing The end seems near.
