Some Notes From the Islands

Gen. Smith, in command of the United States troops on the Island of Samar cables that Lieut.. Strebler's s scouts have captured Lukban, the mo- torious leader of the Samar rebels, and brought him to Lagun Capital of a small island of that name north of and adjoining Samar.)
 Brig Gen. J. c. Breckenridge, In spector-General of the United States Army, arrived on the transport Han cock last week from tour of inspec- tion of the Philippine Islands.
 Discussing the situation in the Phil ippines he said:
 "The islands cannot be said to be entirely pacified, for a certain amount of guerilla warfare is going on. The military forces are not operating to any great extent just now, as this is the rainy season. After the rains are over l expect the soldiers will pene- trate to the interior and bring about peace. I visited forty different posts and found that there was room for great improvements. The posts were much better, however, than I expected to find them.
 While Gov. Flores of the province of Rizal was chasing Felizardo and his band of Ladrones over the hills of Cavitte province, Felizardo, at the head of twenty-five men armed with rifles, entered the town of Cainta, in Morong province, and captured the presidente of Cainta, Senor Ampil, and majority of the police of the town.
 Senor Ampil has long been known as an enthusiastic American sympathizer, and it is feared that he may be- killed by the enraged Ladrones. A strong force of constabulary has been sent to effect his release.
 The correspondence captured with Gen. Lukban in the island of Sumar is of the greatest value. It duplicates several Filipinos who have heretofore not been suspected of complicity with the insurgents.

about him on the wharves of Ham, burg and Bremen. Perhaps they have oolored it a little, but 1t shows the spirit they bear the man.
 He was in the Indies with his flag ship, and one day, 1t being splendid weather the men were absent on a few hours shore leave.
 AS they started to return violent storm, or rather squall, arose, and their little craft was swamped when the ship was almost gained. Our noble Prince was standing amidships when tLis happened, leaning over the rail and anxiously gazing at the imperiled craft. He called immediately for vol unteers, and when the boat was about to be lowered, stepped into it. The captain loudly remonstrated. I know there is danger Heinrich called back, hut if there was no danger why should anybody go?'
 "As he stood in the captains cabin after changing his wet clothing, that officer remarked that the men for whom the Prince had so foolishly rlsked his life were only handful of common sailors.
 "'Yes, but it would hurt them just as much to drown as any one else, would it not? Just as much as it would you or me-? And this was all the answer he got.
 "As I say, if the sailors have en- laiged this tale it is because of their affection. Wilhelm is a sort of little god, but Heinrich? Ach! he is just their big brother."

Fruit and Vegetable Baskets

The Chronicle says: In the Eastern States baskets are used for the mar keting of nearly all kinds of fruit and many vegetables. These packages are made largely by hand work, but now a machine has been invented, which is said to turn out 4000 com pleted baskets per day, with one op- orator. It is said that 1000 machines will be required to supply the present demand, and the Mergantholer-Hor ton Basket Machine Company has been incorporated to supply this de- nand
 It is said that the company is to be capitalized at $10O00,OOO, and the prospectus for obtaining stock sub- scriptions estimates the annual profits at $3,300,000. The stock, however, is offered at 25 per cent. of its par value
 the other 75 per cent. being water. If the machines are what is claimed for them, the price of baskets will in time be largely reduced-but in the mean time some thousands of people will be thrown out of employment. The pub lie will gain little; the inventors will gain a good deal; but the bulk of the profits will go to the men who put up the money"

City Treasury Long on Railroad Franchise
 Money

The Finance Committee has recom- mended an increase in the detective force of the city.
 A handsome passenger station for the Pacific Electric Railway company will be built at Sixth and Main streets on the old Kerckhoff homestead prop erty.
 Inaction on the part of the Board of Public Works regarding the readver- tisement of the franchises is taken to mean in some quarters that the Hunt ington-Hellman syndicate has deter mined on a waiting game.
 A poll of the Council shows that nearly every member is in favor of submitting both school and sewer bond issues at one special election to Dc called soon, provided that there is no legal objection to voting school se- curities.
 Some idea of the rush of travel to Southern California points can be ob- tained from the statement that nearly two thousand persons from points out side the State of California were reg isiered Saturday at the six leading hostelries of Los Angeles.
 The Pacific Electric Railway Com pany has refused to accept from the city the return of S15S, 400, the amount bid for the Sixth ward and Vernon freigh, carrying street railway fran chises, and has indicated it's determin- atlon to stand upon it's rights procured under the purchase of these franchise grants from the city when its bids and the cash were accepted.

Appropriation for Inner Narbor

News most welcome to the people of Los Angeles and Southern California is contained in the report of the Con- mittee on Rivers and Harbors, made public Saturday. The bill which the committee has framed contains the following item:
 For improving Wilmington Harbor, $3O0,50O.
 This is S50,5 more than the most sanguine friends of the inner harbor enterprise had been led to expect. In addition to the 250,OOO which was asked the additional amount is made available from funds tied up by an cid law passed in 1896.
 Scarcely less important than the securing of this large independent appropriation for Wilmington Harbor is the fact that the outer harbor pro ject is not to be disturbed. The efforts made by Chairman Burton to have part of the original appropriation di- verted from the breakwater work were unsuccessful.

Five chaps were arrested in Pasadena for distributing samples of soap. But can Pasadena get along without soap?
 An Oakland woman objects to the yellow street cars in that town as being Tout of taste' and offensive" when surrounded by such abundant masses of green.
 While two boys were digging a ground squirrel out of hole near San Diego they foud seventeen silver dol lars, and now there isn't squirrel hole within four miles of San Diego that hasn't been dug out to the bottom.
 An Oakland girl announced her en- gagement to Los Angeles oil specula- tor, then ordered her rousseau, issued her invitations and told the minister to be ready for business, but at the critical period the man backed out and said he "wasn't able financially" to do his part toward closing the deal.

Prince Henry's SaiIorly Pluck

A native of Berlin, long resident of Los Angeles, tells the following story illustrative of the cause for the pop ularity of Prince Henry with the con- mon people:
 "Of course, like most of my country men, know him only by reputation. Have I seen him? Yes, but that's all. If you could find a German sailor, he would tell you much about him. He knows that class; they know him. He is not afraid that he will soil his hands by touching an ordinary sea- man.

SAN QUENTIN STRAIT.JACKET
May Result In Prosecution of Warden
 Aguire

The California Prison Commission, a philanthropic society organized to as sist discharged convicts, of which Charles Montgomery of San Francisco, is the president, is arranging to bring a criminal action against Warden M. q. Aguirre, charging him with assault upon the person of Eve Thompson, a colored boy, who was sent to the pen itentiary from Stockton ten months ago for assault with intent to com init great bodily injury.
 Thompson is badly scared about the abdomen and hips, and his hands and arms are badly crippled from having been placed in the straight jacket at San Quentin.
 King, who was released last Decem- Der, says he was in the prison when the punishment was inflicted upon Thompson. Thompson and a man named Shaughnessy, the latter serv- ing term for shooting at a witness in San Francisco, got into a quarrel and struck each other. Both were placed in straight-j jackets for twenty four hours, and, according to King, Shaughnessy is now out on parole in violation of the law, he having been given his liberty, because of political influence to keep him from making complaint. This was last November.
 King declares that Montgomery and himself have been waiting to get hold cf just such a case that they might expose the cruel practices in vogue at San Quentin. He promises startling disclosures.
