WANT TO RESUME.
Ingleside Coursing Club Would Like
to Open When the Races Close.

The Ingleside Coursing Club, which sus-
pended operations at it's grounds at In
gleside as soon as the ordinance passed
by the Supervisors stopping betting both
on horse races and coursing, expects to
resume operations at its grounds as soon
as the racing season is over in May. The
officers of the club seriously contemplat.
ed building a coursing park outside the
county line, but no suitable site could be
selected. The most available quarters
that the club members wanted was a
strip of land near the lakes of the Spring
Valley Water Company, beyond the coun-
.ty line, but after a great amount of work
and time had been spent in making pre-
liminary steps to rent the land they dis
covered they could not lease the prop
erty for any length of time. What steps
the Police Department will take in the
matter when the club resumes operations
belief among the sporting fraternity o.,
the city is that the club is bluffing, and
that betting on coursing will not be
countenanced IN the city, whether horse
racing is running or not.

made to hop at lively gait until the
electric lights cast their shadows upon
the last game of the day. In all there
were twelve four-handed games disposed
of, with a few single ones on the side to
settle the disputed claims of some crack
players who had a score to make or lose.

THAT INcoMMUNICAD0 LAW
MILITARY GOVERNOR INTER
FERED FOR AMERICANS.
Cuban Generals Have Not Yet Noti-
fed Gomez of His Reelection as
Commander-in-C Chief of the
Insurgent Army.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

HAVANA, April 9.-Secretary of JUS
tice Lanuza will probably not comply
with the request of Judge Ortiz of the
Guadalupe District Court, Havana
Province, to prosecute General Ludlow,
the military Governor, for interfering
to prevent DR.. Jolliffe and Mr.. Barton,
Americans, being kept incommunicado,
as provided by the Spanish law"
If the matter is brought to an issue
the question will be whether an Amer
lean official has right to issue an or
der contravening a Spanish law unless
supported by decree of the Governor
General. Judge Ortiz insists that the
incommunicado law is in full force, like
all other Spanish laws which General
Brooke's proclamation Of January L
affirmed were to be unchanged. Mr..
Ludlow intervened in the case of Jol-
life and Barton because the Spanish
officials refused to allow the attorneys
and friends Of the prisoners TO have ac-
cess to them. 1t was this condition Oh
things that prompted his written in
structions to Judge Ortiz not to apply
the incommunicado rule to Americans.
All railway communication from Ha-
vana eastward is suspended because
the strike of 200 employees of the united
railways affects the provinces Of Ma
tanzas and Santa Clara, as well as the
routes to Guanajay, province OF Plhaf
del Rio, and to Batanbano, where the
steamships make their communication
with Havana No freight or passengers
could be moved to-day. The inconVenl-
ence resulting is very great. 1t is hoped,
however, that the strike will be settled
amicably.
To-day the Cuban generals who yes
terday elected General Gomez com
mander- in chief were to notify him
officially of their action. They had not
done So up to o'clock this evening, but
it is reported that he is to be waited
upon by committee during the course
of the evening. There are so many
contradictory reports as to their inten-
tions and doings that the fact Of their
accomplishing little or nothing is be
ginning to discredit in advance what
ever action they may ultimately take,
which, at the best, will be merely con-
ferring an honorary distinction, as Gen
eral Brooke is preparing to handle the
payment of the Cuban army quite in
dependently of General Gomez.
A soldier at Matanzas yesterday, one
of a squad cleaning the courtyard of
the castle, found a Spanish gold piece.
The members of the squad Immediately
staked off claims in Western style and
dug up the whole yard, finding coins
dated all the way from 1870 TO 1903 and
worth 306 American dollars.

DELIBERATELY INSULT
MEXICO'S AMBASSADOR

WASHINGTON, April Sit is painfully
apparent European ambassadors here
have determined to boycott their new
colleague, Mr.. Aspiroz of Mexico. There
have been suspicious circumstances from
the hour Of his arrival. but the officials of
our Government and Washington society
generally have been reluctant to believe
such eminent and broad minded states
men as Sir Julian Paunceforte, Count Cas-
sill, DR.. Won Holleben, Jules Cambon and
others would deliberately humiliate
stranger and one SO amiable and honor
able as the ambassador from Mexico.
They no longer conceal their inten-
tions, and Count Lichdervelde, the Bel
gian Minister, who telegraphed to Brus-
sells for instructions as to the course he
should pursue, has been directed by his
Government to stand by the representa-
tives of European powers and freeze the
Mexican out.
They did not call upon him before his
presentation. When he called upon
them they We're not at home, and none
of them appeared at his reception.
This might have been due TO a series of
accidents, but it was no accident that
every member of the diplomatic corps
sent regrets to the reception which ex-
In honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Aspiroz last
Wednesday evening, which was not only
slight to the guests of that evening but
to the hosts also.
Countess Lichderveld. wife of the Bel
gian Minister. the truth came out. The
Mexican Enbassador and Mrs. Asproz
were the only members of the diplomatic
corps who were not present, and their
absence was due to failure to reveice
Invitations. 1t was a deliberate insult.
The preteXt for the boycott lies ir the
historical fact that thirty years ago Mr.,
Aspiroz happened to be the Judge Advo-
cate General of the Mexican Army, VINO
was detained by President Juarez to try
Pretender Macmillan, the Austrian arcli-
duke, who. under protection of Louis
Napoleon Of France, claimed the throne
of Mexico. But why the performance of
a military duty under orders from his
Government by Mr.. Aspiroz a third of a
century ago should make aim an unfe
associate of the British, German. French.
Russian and Italian ambassadors IS diff
cult to understand.
Great Britain and Germany refused TO
sustain Maximilian and practically rel
pudiated the invasion of Mexico. and If
is not believed either of these govern
ments. will approve the action of its EN-
bassador in declaring a boycott against
his colleague upon such a pretext if they
are appealed to.

stake six dogs on the short end secured
the winning flag in quick succession. The

hound Connnemara by a very f1unky

hare with False F1atterer. The black and

few turns killed. with the Flatterer point

Los Angeles Coursing.

LOS ANGELES. April 9.-The somewhat
chilly weather to-day had the effect of
diminishing the attendance at the
coursing at Agricultural Park, espe-
cially in the grand stand, though there
were at least 25O0 people on the grounds
and the sport was good.
The programme comprised two stakes
a 16-dog sapling and a 32-dog openstake.
The sapling stake was the first ever run
in Southern California, and another sap
ling of twenty-four dogs is announced for
next Sunday to accommodate the first
crop of puppies that have come into the
running since coursing was inaugurated
here. For the sapings First Call took
first money with Ida May second and
Mes Rosebud third.
In the open stake Lass O'Gowne took
first money. with Master Jack second and
Mountain Belle third. There were several
surprises, the most noticeable of which
was when Lass O'Gowne put out the
crackajack Merry Maiden in the first ties.
The dogs as a rule ran true to form,
though all bets were declared off in the

A large number of sllillful marksmen
