ARBITRATORS NOT YET
NEAR A SETTLEMENT
Value of the Los Angeles Water
Plant Has Not Come Up
For Consideration.

Los ANGELES, April 12.-The board
of arbitrators that has in hand the
mass of evidence submitted by the city
of Los Angeles and the water company
is deep in the perplexities of the situa-
ton. The question of determining the
value of the water plant has not come
up for settlement. James c. Kays, who
is the city's arbitrator, said to-day this
phase would be reached in a few days,
and a decision upon the value of the
plant would follow within short time.
The opinion of the few who have fol-
lowed the negotiations is that no such
agreement as Kays hopes for will be
reached. This view is based upon the
alleged fact that Captain Healy, the
water company's member of the board
was made a member for the express
purpose of compelling an agreement
satisfactory to the water company or
preventing arbitration entirely.
Whether an agreement by Colonel
Mendell and Kays as against Captain
Healy would be binding upon the
water company is a point upon which
lawyers differ. Such a result would
mean another lawsuit, to be taken
through all the courts of the State.
What the arbitration will cost the
city cannot be figured out. Kays was
appointed as the city's arbitrator on
July 81 last. The prediction was then
made that the pending proceedings
would end in sixty days. Kays is paid
$25 every day he is actually employed.
His bill has never been presented to
the city. At full rates ever since his
appointment the city would be in debt
to Kays not far from $4500
The lawyers have nearly given UP
hope of ever receiving a decision from
the Supreme Court in the headworks
case. The issue has been with the
court for nearly eighteen months 1t
was resubmitted in November last A
decision in February was then prom
ised. IT is now said the result may be
looked for next week, when the court
will be in session in Los Angeles.
Colonel Mendell of San Francisco
gives it as his opinion that an agree
ment will be reached within two weeks.

REFUSES TO PROSECUTE
JAMES P. TREADWELL
Because of Her Sudden Change of
Heart George Woods Is Ar

SAN JOSE, April 12.-There was a SEN
sational turn to the damage, criminal and
misdemeanor suits against James P.
TreadWell. the young capitalist, this morn
ing and all three will be dismissed.
George Dunn, alias George Woods, who
figured as plaintiff in the litigation re-
fuses to prosecute, and because of this she
was arrested on a charge of vagrancy and
made defendant in suit for $1,000 attorney
fees alleged to be due for services in her
$4,000 damage suit against Treadwell.
Later in the day she charged Treadwell
with battery on her on February Is and
he pleaded guilty and paid 500 fine as an
alternative to serving 100 days in Jail. The
Dunn woman has also given him salts
faction in full for the $25, 900 damages de-
manded for beating he gave her and has
signified her intention to have the charge
of intent to murder against Treadwell dis
missed These two young people are now
participants in a love feast and left the
city together this afternoon, and 1t is
said their ultimate destination is beyond
the limits OF the state. 1t Is said Tread

and promised her an extended pleasure
tour along the coast.
This compromise ranked Attorneys
Harrington and O'Neil, and as they saw
their contingent fee of one-third of the
$25 900 demanded as damages disappearing
they resolved to take heroic measures At
deputy county clerk and filed a suit in
the name of George Sheddy against Geor-
gle Dunn to recover $1,000 alleged to be due
as attorney fees. A warrant was also OBJ
tanned from Justice Jones at Milpitas
charging George Dunn with vagrancy.
The woman was located in the Lamolle
House and the door of the room broken
in. She was arrested for vagrancy and
taken to the County Jail. At the same
time she was served with papers in the
suit for attorney fees. A garnishment was
served on the Safe Deposit Bank, where

taken before Justice Rosenthal after

A PACIFIC CABLE
Action Taken by Ottawa
Government.
ALL DETAILS AGREED UPON
LINE WILL TOUCH FIRST AT
TANNING ISLAND.
Starting at Vancouver, It Will
Branch Out in the South Seas
and Reach Australia and
New Zealand.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. c., April ia
special dispatch from Ottawa, received
here tonight, states definitely that a
Pacific cable will be laid from this port
to Tanning Island, and thence on to
Australasia. This gigantic enterprise
was considered at a Government eau
Gus to-day, when it was decided to
start work on it this summer. Follow
ing are the particulars as contained in
the dispatch:
The cable is to be laid from Van
couver to Tanning Island, mid-ocean
station, and branch out thence to Nor
folk Island, one branch going to Aus
tralia and the other to New Zealand.
The total distance is 5000 miles. The
longest stretch is from Vancouver to
Tanning Island 1t will cost 81 500 900.
Another $1,000,000 will be required for
repair steamers. The maintenance of
the first years contingencies revenue
is calculated on basis of 21a per cent
interest and a sinking fund of $725, 900.
The cost of construction is divided
thus: The Australasian colonies. eight
eighteenths; Great Britain and Canada.

SPANISH PARTY
FORMED IN CUBA
Headed by the Marquis
de ArgueIIes.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


HAVANA, April 12.-Marquis de Re-
bell announces the formation of a
Spanish party in Cuba under the hon
orary presidency of Marquis de Ar
guelles, the richest man on the island,
and the probable future representative
of Spain here, although not yet Off
cially accredited. About thirty promi-
nent Spaniards, in and out of Havana
were called into conference. The an
nexation of Cuba to the United States
is the unanimous desire of these gem
tlemen, although 10 reference is made
TO this in their general address to the
Spaniards in Cuba, as they regard it
inexpedient to agitate the question just
now and thereby cause still greater po-
litical unrest.
The address of the new party, which
is signed by Marquis de Rebel, is en-
tirely devoid of political references and
simply announces the fact of organiZa-
ton and the election of officers, all of
whom are men of prominence.
1t asserts, however, as the controlling
feature of the party's programme, a de-
sire to promote the peace and prosper
ity of Cuba, to which the members of
the party are bound by the most sa-
cred ties" and it earnestly advises all
Spaniards here to act nobly together
in upholding the honor, dignity and
traditions of Spain.

cap committee and the others, including
three women. were placed on marks
down as low as twenty-five yards.

sponsibility to be about $4,000, 900.
On the foregoing basis the Govern
ment decided to enter upon the scheme
and it will, within two weeks. introduce
a measure in Parliament to authorize
it's participation in the cost to that
proportion. The control of the cable
will be vested in the Governments in
terested, which will be represented on
the international commission of man
agement in the proportion of their sew
eral contributions. AS the Australian
colonies and the Imperial Government
have tacitly agreed to undertake the
project on the terms which Canada has
decided to comply with, the construc-
tion of the cable is thus practically as
sured, and work will be begun the
coming summer.
TORONTO, Ont, April ia special
to the Globe from Ottawa says that
within a fortnight a bill will be intro
duced in the House of Commons to
provide for the/laying Of gable con-
Meeting Canada with the Australian
colonies and providing for the Govern
ment supplying funds equivalent to
f1ve-eighteenths of the cost of construc-
ton as soon as Great Britain signifies
it's readiness to provide a like sum and
the Australian colonies contribute
ight-eighteenths of the cost. This
action is already assured. The control
of the cable is to be vested in a COM
mission to be appointed by the imperial
Government, each contributing colony
nominating representatives on the
commission in proportion to the amount
contributed.

BRUTALITY OF MEN
ON YUKON RIVER
Ignore the Appeals of an Old Man
Found Dying on the Ice
Trail

PORT TOWNSEND, April 12-The
steamer Farallon arrived from Alaska
tonight bringing a large number of
passengers, some of whom were direct
from Dawson and Atlin. Among those
arriving from Dawson were the Miller
brothers, who left Dawson the latter
part of March. They say the ice is
breaking so that travel up the river
is hazardous. They report the death
of an old man who was returning from
Dawson. He broke through the ice and
his feet were frozen. Parties coming
out were hailed for assistance. which
they refused to give, saying they had
no time to spare. The unfortunate man
was afterward found by the Canadian
police, but before medical aid could be
obtained he died. The police arrested
the out-coming men, but from lack of
evidence they were discharged.
Parties who were taking horses in
lost several animals by the breaking
of the ice between Lake Lebarge and
Lake Marsh.
The Farallon brought down between
$50 and 300 ounces of gold from Helen
Bay mines, about eighty miles south
Of Wrangel.

pass such law, Superintendent
Church threatens to prohibit all the
insurance companies of that State do
ing business in Kansas. There are
