EVERY MAN HAS
A SACK Of COLD
AlIuring Reports From
Sierra Pintada.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO. May 30.-The schooner
Santa Barbara arrived at San Quintin,
Lower California, late this afternoon with
the first official and authentic report of
the Sierra Pintada placers, which have
been attracting the attention of the coast
for two weeks past. The Santa Barbara
took down thirty tons of supplies for the
camp two weeks ago from San Quintin.
and Francisco Salorio was delegated by
Collector of Customs Victoria at En-
senada to so down on the schooner and
make an official investigation of the
placers.
Mr.. Salorio brings back a glowing re-
port, which must be taken as accurate so
far as it is possible for a man to give an
accurate report of a new camp. He says
that when the arrival of the Santa Barbara
at San Rogue Bay became known in the
diggings Mexicans with from twenty-five
to sixty ounces of gold each made rush
for the coast for supplies from the
schooner paying any price asked Tor the

CORNE LIS BOAT
CREW IN From 7
Beats Pennsylvania in a
Hard Race.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ITHACA, N. Y, May 3O.-The Cor
nell-Pennsylvania boat race was
rowed at 7:30 o'clock this evening. The
lake, which had been exceptionally
rough all day, quieted down by c
o'clock, so that Referee Mumford was
able to call the Cascadilla-C Cornell
race, which was scheduled to take
place after the Cornell Pennsylvania
race. This contest was started at 6:55
and Cornell won from Cascadilla.
Cornell and Pennsylvania were ready
for the contest Immediately after the
first race had been rowed. The obser-
walton train returned to the start, and
Cornell reached there at 1915. Penn
sylvania joining at 7:20.
Pennsylvania chose the inside
course. AT the word the Pennsylva-
mans had a slight advantage in catch
ing the water first and gained nearly a
third of a length after a dozen strokes
Cornell did not attempt to squirt, but
rowed a 80 stroke. Pennsylvania had
started with a. and from time to time
increased it to SO. Cornell began to
gain at the quarter mile, and at the
mile had more than made up the loss
at the beginning
Pennsylvania had lost about a half
length at the mile and a quarter and
began to put effort into their work.
CornelPs rowing did not vary and al
though Pennsylvania pushed the nose
of her shell nearly even with the Itha-
cans at the mile and a half Cornell did
not let out until about 300 yards of the
finish. The men in the Cornell boat
then rowed a thirty-three stroke, while
Pennsylvania went up to thirty-seven.
The Ithacans gained slightly and at the
end won by fully half-length in
n:26h. Pennsylvania time was :2S
Both crews finished strong and pulled
to the boathouse in good form Coach
Courtney and Coach Ward expressed
their satisfaction at the showing made
by their respective crews Coach Ward
said the better crew had won and he
thought his men rowed a magnificent
race. About 5000 people saw the race

MAJOR MARCHAND.

Court of Cessation resumed its sitting for
the hearing of arguments in the Dreytus
case and for the examination of NJ. De
roulede and Marcel Habert. The same
precautions Were observed as on yester-
day for the preservation of order. The
arrival OF the Judges and others con-
nected with two celebrated cases was
marked by no unusual incident, The in
terror of the Court of Cessation presented
to-day the same aspect as on yesterday.
Behind President MaZeay there were
seated many Judges and other court Of
ficers, public men and distinguished men
of letters. The same impressive silence
was observed when the sitting opened at
noon.
NJ. Ballot de Beaupre resumed the read
ing of his report on the Dreyfus case.
He said that if in 1894 the officers of the
courtmartial had thought ii was their
duty to show Dreyfus the documents con-
cerning him, the Judges not being law
yerS, had erred, though acting in good
faith. He then entered at length into a
consideration of the arguments of the
anti-revisionists, who, he said, contend
that even if the document "Ce Cainalle de
d" should be shown not to refer to
Dreyfus it would be no reason for revi-
sion, because the document was not re-
sponsible for the conviction of Dreyfus.
The machinations of Colonel Du Patty
de Clam and Lieutenant Colonel Henry.
It had also been argued, gave no ground
disavowed by General Come. assistant
chief of the general staff. and by his su-
perior, General Boisedeffre. NJ. de Beau
pre- created a deep sensation by solemn
ly declaring that he had become con-
vnced that the bordereau was written by
Major Count Ferdinand Waslin Ester
hazy. He read fresh report drawn up
by NJ. Maneau the procurator general, =,
on Saturday last, in view of the recent
developments, enumerating ten fresh
facts in favor of Dreyfus, viz:
1.-The Henry forgery.
2-The changing Of the date of the bor-
dereau to August instead of April
-Contradictionssof the handwriting experts
4-The absolute identity of the paper upon

GOLDEN CROSS MINE
LITIGATION ENDED

LOS ANGELES, May 3O.-The long
drawn-out and costly litigation over the
Golden Cross mine at Hedges, in San
Diego County, is at an end. compro-
mise has been offered and accepted and
only the details of the deal now remain
to be fixed. For several days d. M. Del
mas and Samuel M. Shortridge of San

the sum of $looo,o0O, and assume ali the
outstanding Indebtedness and thereafter
own and control the mine. c. N Pauly
OF San Diego, the present receiver of the
property, appointed to operate the mine
while the litigation was pending, may be
retained as manager, though this has not
been definitely decided.

Southern California and under the man
agement of Receiver Pauly has been
made to pay a handsome profit.

A CARSON BLAZE
Suspect Threatened by

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CARSON, New, May 3O.-An alarm of
fire awakened the city of Carson at 1870
o'clock this morning and in a few minutes
the fire companies were at Vonderhyde's s
harness shop, where the fire was raging

9-Offcial documents proving that Dreyfus
had no relations with foreign embassies.
10-A document demonstrating that Dreyfus
never confessed guilt.
NJ. Ballot de Beaupre amplified his in
dictment of Major Esterhazy, saying that
one new fact, from legal point of view,
was the discovery that the bordereau was
that used by Major Esterhazy. The
judges in 1894 did not know this, and NJ.
de Beaupre declared that on his soul and
conscience, according to his conviction.
the bordereau was written by EsterhaZy.
He deplOred the attacks of the revision
lists upon the army but said that the
honor of the army was not dependent up
on the retention of an innocent man on
Devils Island.
NJ. de Beaupre concluded: Il do not
ask you to proclaim the innocence Of
DreyfuS, but it is with a firm conviction
and a high sense of my duty and reSpon-
sibilfty that | say there is reason to
grant a revision of the trial of 1894 and
for sending Dreyfus for retrial before an
other court-martial. whose task will be
to give decision with full knowledge
of the facts"
AiHISlSt great SAclteInellt NJ hdnedu
the Procurator- General, began his ad-
dress to the court. He claimed that the
change in the date of the bordereau con-
stituted new fact apart from numerous
other new facts, and declared that the
bordereau was really the work of Major
Esterhazy: NJ Maneau dwelt upon the
strangeness of the general staff's protec-
tion of EsterhaZy and the latter's am
biguity.
The court adjourned at o'clock with
out incident M. Maneau will continue
his speech tomorrow.

prowling about and called out, "Who is
there?" but received no reply. Kitzmeyer
then went into his own house and aroused
his son, George, who spread the alarm by
firing number of shots from a revolver.
KitZmeyer again went TO the dividing
fence and saw the person who had started
the blaze disappear in the rear door Of
the Lynd building. Although he could
not distinguish the features of the man
his suspicious were aroused, and he con-
cluded Lynd was the man who did the
work. Sheriff Kinny soon heard of the
suspicion directed against Lynd. Search
for Lynd was instituted He was found
in the building, where he was removing
his belongings, and was Immediately
placed under arrest.
Lynd protested his innocence, and
claimed to have been in bed since 3
o'clock. His daughter, Hattie, corrob-
crates him in this statement.
AS soon as ii became generally known
that he had been placed under arrest a
crowd gathered about the Jail, and the
Sheriff and his deputies put in a few min
utes of extreme anxiety. Warden Hen
derson of the State Prison appeared at
the Jail, and after a hasty consultation
1t was concluded to remove Lynd to the
State institution. He was speedily hus-
tied into the Sheriff's rig and taken to
the penitentiary, from which he was re-
leased to-day on $4,000 bonds. There is
strong circumstantial evidence against
him.
The loss from the fire was about $4,000.

PLAGUE MAY
DELAY De WEY
Admiral to Come Home
Slowly, Anyway.

HONGKONG, May 30.-Since his ar
rival here on May %, on board his flag
ship, the United States cruiser Olym-
pia, Admiral Dewey has improved in
health, though he still refuses all in
vitations of a social nature. The ad-
miral has also relinquished all official
duty on board the Olympia. The date
of his departure for home is still un-
certain, his intention being to remain
here until he has thoroughly recuper-
ated. The air of the high ground here
is much cooler than it will be found at
any place between Hongkong and the
Mediterranean Sea.
The programme for the Olympia s
voyage to the United States has not
been definitely decided upon. 1t has
been determined, however, to make a
stop at the Piraeus, from which port
Admiral Dewey will go to Athens to
pay his respects to King George of
Greece. The Olympia is being painted
white instead Of the dark slate color
which was applied ito it before the late
war.
The plague is likely to complicate the
home coming of the admiral Various
Governments have already declared Sc
we're quarantine regulations against all
Egyptian Red Sea ports and Hong
kong. where the fresh cases and the
number of deaths have nearly doubled
in the past week, the new cases num-
bering lab and the deaths 1884, Ad-
miralty officials say that warships have
not privileges as regards quarantine
beyond those of merchant ships. the
main point to be considered being
whether the ship is infected or there is
sickness aboard BY the time Admiral
Dewey arrives at the Mediterranean,
his ship, the Olympia, having been so
long out from Hongkong, if there are
no cases aboard she will probably be
regarded as immune and the inspectors
will pass her without delay.

ARBITRATION IN
PLACE OF WAR
Peace Conference MAY
Agree.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, May 31.-The correspon-
dent of the Standard at The Hague
says: An important advance was
made to-day in the direction of a
scheme of arbitration, combining the
Russian, British and American pro-
posals. The representatives of these
nations arrived at an agreement which
seems to find general acceptance. Sir
Julian Pauncefote conferred this after
noon with Seth Low and Mr. Hollis,
and both the British and American
proposals were examined, with the re-
suit that the United States will sup
port the Pauncefote scheme for a per-
manent tribunal
In all practical and essential features
the British and Americaa-pl plans are
Identical, but the American delegates
have gone further, covered the whole
field of arbitration and drafted pro-
visions for rehearing in the event of
disagreement Their proposals will
be submitted to the drafting committee
to morrow.
1T ought not to be difficult said Mr.
Hollis, Ito hammer out a workable plan
from these three plans"
THE HAGUE, May 30.-The Brussels
conference section of the International
Peace Congress, after adopting the sec
ond reading of articles % to "a, which
dealt with prisoners of war, discussed
questions relating to flags of truce,
capitulations and armistices as con-
tained in articles 43 to- So, inclusive,
upon which an agreement was reached
The Red Cross section considered the
extension of the Geneva convention to
naval warfare and adopted slight modi-
fications of the articles relating to con-
traband, leaving the other two cate
gOries for future consideration.

~ ARIS, May 30.-Even the most

L is up. Would you have proof ?
They say nothing, or as little as
possible, about the case Yesterday s
papers, those which have been the
cruelest enemies of Dreyfus, found no
material for leading articles on the ju-
dicial proceedings that seem likely to
end the greatest crime of civilization.
The Petit Journal discussed the CEN
tenary of the Comedie Francaise and
did not refer in a single line to the re-
vision Of the Dreyfus case in its en-
tire four pages. Eclaire talked about
the opera comique The Journal Gau-
lois, Libre Parole and Echo de Paris
said nothing.
Revision means acquittal in the
minds of three -fCurths of the French
people to-day. The other fourth dread
it, lest public attention be turned to
their misdoings. Steele summed up this
sentiment in one line yesterday. Its
cartoon by Ibels represented Law
Bearing the AK of Justice" On one
side there is a group of generals, cow
ering on their knees behind some
bushes, and the horribly significant le-
gend was Let US hope she will not see
US.
1t is most probable that justice will
be blind in the present case. The prom
nent actors in this CHASTITY crime have
been CaStigated by the discredit they
have brought upon themselves. Ester
hazy is in flight, Henry is dead Every
body now knows that the army was no
more incriminated in the actions of
few generals than was the nation for
the army is the nation. When these
few individuals have been repudiated
the sponge will, in all prOba bility, be
passed over the slate.
AS for DerOulede, as l cabled you the
day after the late President Faure's
funeral, nobody takes his escapade Sc
riously The chances seem to favor his
acquittal All Paris is laughing over
his speech yesterday. He seems to
think that because Victor Hugo was
i great poet and a poor politician he
must be great politician because he
is a poor poet. But the public refuses
% accept him as anything but an anus
ing rhapsOdist, who should be dealt
with indulgently. This sentiment will
probably dictate the jurys verdict. par

DEWEY TALKS OF
HOBSON'S ACHIEVEMENTS

NEW YORK, May 30.--A cable to the
World from Hongkong says: Admiral
Dewey seldom discusses men or events
of the Spanish war, but now and then
he says things full of pith and point.
He allowed himself to talk of some of
the affairs in the Cuban campaign to-
day Speaking of the splendid Merri-
mac affair at Santiago the hero of Ma
Mia said of Lieutenant Hobson:
II like him. He is a brave man, dig
nifled and modest. The trouble about
Hobson is that he takes life too seri-
ously and Is bashful."

waved everywhere, and shouts OF NlVe

sounded in all directions.
Replying to the addresses, Major
Marchand expressed his heartfelt
thanks for the demonstrations OF well
come. He recalled his own anguish and
that of his comrades when they We're
ordered to eVacuate Fashoda, and
again when on reaching Abyssinia he
heard that his beloved France had risen
against the army.

tinued, that the latter fear was with
