airy 2S, 1854, q joint resolution was
| passed by Congress declaring that
the gratitude of the American people

eral Howard commanded a brigade at
Bull Run, July q, 1861 and participa-
ted in many great battles. He was
largely instrumental in establishing

One of the most conspicuous parts
of General Towards military record
was his campaign against the Nez

ing them across mountains into po-
sition where ultimately they surren-
dered to General Nelson A. Miles.

Mr.. Mason went to California when
90 years of age, arriving at San Fran"
cisco in the spring of 1851. Soon af-
ter he reached the city he engaged in
the grocery business Later he NOV
ed to Oakland where he followed the
same line and in which he remained
until his retirement about four years
ago.

NOW POLITICAL oUTcAsT
Former Spanish Premier Maura oHie-
tally Denounced

Madrid. Oct. 27.-The government
censor has permitted the Herald to
intimate that Senior Maura, former
premier. is mentally unbalanced and
to urge that he be restrained and sub
iected to a medical examination. The
Heralds editorial is the result or
Maura's violent speech in the cortes
in which he declared that all the So
called liberals were anarchists. all OPP
moments TO his policies revolutionists
and that Spain was going precipitate-
ly to her ruin.
The action of the government in
permitting the newspaper attack on
Maura indicates that the former pre-
mier has reached the ranks of poliu.
cal outcasts. His decline is one OF
the most spectacular in the history OF
Spain.
