AGU|RRE'S Ak
Con sternation at San
Quentin Prison.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON. June 3d.
Twenty large Saratoga trunks have
caused almost as much dismay among
the guards and those officials whose
heads have not already fallen under
Warden Aguirre's ak as would have re-
suited from the explosion of a bomb
shell. a baggage car filled with trunks
arrived at Greenbrae last evening and
several more came to-day, every one of
them being consigned to a person whose
name was formerly unknown here
Palmer than words is the evidence thus
furnished that Aguirre means to make
a clean sweep Of the prison in the in
terest of Los Angeles and vicinity as
soon as he conveniently can.
The speculation as to who will go
next is lively, but the Warden will not
talk and the Board of Prison Directors
is nonplused 1t is now definitely
known, despite all denials that Aguirre
has thrown down the gauntlet to the
Directors and intends utterly to ignore
them as regards appointments. That
he will in time find himself to have
been playing with a boomerang is
freely prOphesied.
It was learned to-day that ten or
twelve guards will be discharged within
a few days. They will mostly be men
whose positions require little expe-
rience, such as the outside posts
Too late has it been discovered that
the statements of Aguirre regarding a
conservative policy were used to mask
his real intentions, and while every kind
of pull is being eXerted it is now
deemed futile to do more than yield
gracefully.
Captain Edgars fine wire pulling,
while due Indirectly to the friendship
of Lieutenant Governor Neff, was really
made possible by the intervention of
w F. Herrin of the Southern Pacific
Company. SO potent factor has
Herrin's influence proved that not only
has Edgar managed to hold his own po-
sition, but to-day he had Aguirre ap-
point Joseph Edgar, his son. guard.
A ludicrOus incident is that several of
the guards have secured Spanish text
books and as fast as they master a
few phrases let no opportunity slip TO
make use Of their new knowledge where
they think it will do the most good.
Tomorrow the new appointees will
take their positions and an exodus of
those who have been discharged will

THREW cARBoLIC ACID.

REDDING, June 30.-Bessie Wood
son, a young woman employed at the
Mountain View House in this city, met
with horrible accident last night. She
and another girl We're making their
toilet and were playfully struggling
for what was supposed to be
a bottle of glycerine. The Woodson
girl seized the bottle, and, pouring
some of it's contents in her right palm,
dashed the fluid on her face. Instead
of glycerine the bottle contained car
bolic acid, and in a moment the young
woman began screaming as it burned
into her flesh. DR.. T. L. Price applied
soothing lotions and reduced the ter
rible pains. The acid covered both
cheeks and chin. The young woman
will be SCARED and will be fortunate if
she escapes Disagreement for life.

MANILA, June 27 (via Hongkong,
June 30.-Two opposite views of the
Philippine situation are held by those
persons who have followed the Amer
lean campaign with close attention.
First is the official military view
According to this the situation is now
we'll in hand and the campaign has
been as successful as possaible. The
natives are tired of the insurrection
and are more friendly toward the
Americans than toward the insurgents.
The insurgent army is made up almost
entirely of brigands, who can no longer
be held together by their leaders. War
will soon be over, it is declared, II the
wet season holds off.
The force of troops now on hand is
sufficient for any emergency. Business
is picking up.
The disorganized insurrection, de-
prived Of its resources, is held to-
gether at present entirely by the hope
given the rebels through the anti-an-
nexation movement in the United
States and the American papers which
reach here. The insurgent leaders are
actuated solely by selfish personal am
bitiOns.
military men in the field and leading
thinkers, is that as the ability of our
troops to drive the insurgents at Will
has been proved the suppression OF the
insurrectionI depends upon the abllity
of the men in authority TO cope with
the situation and not upon muZzllnS the
American press:
The outlook at present is more gloomy
for the speedy ending of the war than
ever before. The method of making
raids into the country and then with
drawing, leaving friendly natives at
the mercy Of returning insurgents, has
tended to ALLEVIATE the population and
not materialiy to weaken the insur-
gents
The organization of the insurgents is
still good and their resources are not
greatly impaired.
The failure this season to take the
railroads running through the valley
OF the rice country above San Fernando
leaves to the enemy immense resources
and fails to protect the interests of for
eign merchants.
With the present methods the war
with the Filipinos can continue indefi-
nitely. The only true method to pacify
the country is to garrison all the i'm
portant towns. To do this more than
twice the number Of troops already
here, including volunteers, is neces-
sary, with several regiments of mounted
cavalry. Four thousand men being in
the hospital, 1900 in the southern islands
and $4,000 in Manila, CaYite and small
garrisons, this leaves only 5000 men for
active campaigning. This number is
not sufficient, since the troops in the
north are in bad condition, many of
the soldiers having irritated hearts by
reason of OVereXertlon. On account or
the small number of troops available
( new advances are constantly required
and frequent changes of exhausted
regiments. There is a great waste of
time and energy of the men by long
marches to the front

! toward the insurgents than toward the
! Americans on account mainly of the
petty tyranny of the soldiers. Isolated
/ insurgent outrages are only repetition

SKILLED LABOR SCARCE.
Farmers Cannot Find Enough Men
to Harvest Crops.

MARYSVILLE, June 30.-The farmers
of Yuba and Sutter counties are ex-
perfencing considerable trouble in pro-
curing skilled labor to work in the har-
vest fields Every day some rancher is
driver or sack-sewer, and the supply thus
far has not equaled the demand. Even
an increase in wages does not seem to
make them more plentiful and the fact
is dawning upon the minds of many that
reliable hands are a very scarce article
in this community.
The large crops of fruit and the demand
of the canneries for help are probably re-
,sponsible for this scarcity of farm hands
many preferring a three or four months
lob picking fruit TO month or six
Weeks' season on a harvester.

TRIBUTES OF RESPECT.

Deceased Associates.

A meeting of the bar of the District of
Columbia, held Friday afternoon, at the
city hall, appropriate resolutions were
adopted in reference to the death of Charles
p. James, formerly associate justice of the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
and of Wyman L. Cole. a leading and popu-
lar member Of the bar. The meeting was
called to order by Mr.. Chaplin Brown, and,
at the suggestion Of Mr.. r. Ross Perry.
Col. James G. Payne was selected as chair
man. Two committees We're named fol

among other things that the bar desired 10

appreciation of the great judicial abilit",

and judicial life of this eminent magistrate,

habitual courtesy he exhibited in his inter

clients interests. ever mindful OF his duty
to the court, and yet strenuous in main
tanning the cause he had undertaken TO de-
fend. Full of courtesy and consideration
for his opponents well for his aSsn-
GATES he has left only pleasant and insp:r-

In personal Intercourse he was modest
and quiet gentleman. always regarding The
rights and feelings of others and yet al
ways maintaining fully his own self-respect
and dignity. In this busting and aggres-
sive age such lives his are at once n
relief and a contrast. We mourn his loss
the more because it was premature.
