found Mr.. Trent, who had arrived long
before, lolling about, fastidious as ev-

other queer experiences, the honor to
behold the house in which you were
born"
Paulette stared
"Sir!"
And what the deuce do you know
about the house in which she was
born?" cried the still furious general,
"or whether she was born in any house
at all?"
Il found it," said Trent, "in the town
of Beverly, on the coast Of Massachu-
setts."
Over the fierce old face flashed a
smarting red, succeeded by a dull pal
lor.

what were you doing there?"
Shifting sea breezes. Admirable lit
tie place!" and before anybody could
answer, he had fallen back in his chair
and was looking up at the portraits OF
the dead Guilte brothers, hanging on
the paneled wall. Is it not a little sin
gular that we have all-yes, I may safe
ly say all, noticed the resemblance Miss
Rale bears to these two pictures?"
II have remarked 1t a score of
times" said Hilda, promptly.
The general regarded Trent with
lively disapprobation.
Polly looks like nobody but her
handsome self" he cried. 1--WE heard
rubbish enough for once. Here, wheel
me back to the drawing room, and Hill

Trent and the two ladies arose from
the table and followed the general s
chair In sort Of contemptuous ST.
lence, Paulette stepped into window
and turned her back on the lawyer. He
set his teeth at sight Of the graceful
figure outlined against the sultry light,
the golden head held high, the proud,
beautiful profile turned carelessly
away.

MADRID, Sept. 28.-Madrid was be-

celebration of the success of the Span
ish arms in Africa, crowned today by
the occupation of Mount Guruga, the
Moorish stronghold. Crowds acclaimed
the news. which marks a glorious end
ing of the war and insures the early
return of the troops.
The successful operations of Gen
Marina were highly praised. After
the reverse of July 27 and the subse-
quent losses, Gen. Marina declared it
would be a useless waste of life 10
proceed on a small scale in the opera
tions and that the Moors, who had
been making raids on the rocky fast
resses of Mount Guruga must be dis
lodged or outflanked.
Accordingly, he withdrew his ad-
vanced posts and waited until he had
concentrated $4,000 men and sixty
eight cannon, which were divided into
two columns September 20. One col
umn was sent north to Cape Tres For
cas- to prevent the possibility of a rear
attack and the other was sent south

after Mador and Zelouan were taken
the Moors evacuated the territory, and

its summit.
What has become of the main body
of the Moors is not clear from the Off
cial dispatches. Unofficial reports in
innate that while General Marina ac-
companied the column to the south the
Moors doubled back west of Mount
Guruga and Joined In a surprise attack
on General Solomayo last night
Official circles, however, believe the
Moors are thoroughly discouraged, and
the successful wind up of the campaign
is expected to arouse a wave of pat
riotic enthusiasm that will greatly
strengthen the Maura government.
whose enemies counted on a protracted
struggle with perhaps serious reVerses
and possibly complete failure.
Abroad the victories are expected to
enhance Spanish prestige greatly, and
the policy of non n-interference to which
the powers subscribed will give the
Spanish government an opportunity to
reap the full benefit of the country's
military success.
Little doubt exists that the govern
ment intends to take advantage of the
situation to extend it's sphere of influ-
ence in Africa and possibly to realize
the dream of so many Spaniards-the
creation of an independent colony in
Africa to compensate for humiliating
losses beyond the seas.
AS it is manifestly impossible for
Morocco to pay the indemnity which
Spain will demand, Spanish occupation
can be protracted for many years. The
mines that were the cause of the orig
inaI trouble are considered immensely
rich, and much is expected from indus
trial exploitation.

ALL SAN PEDRO
BARS LICENSED
IL RETAIL LIQUOR PERMITS
ARE GRANTED
POLICE BOARD KEEPS PLEDGE OF
CONSOLIDATION COMMITTEE
Ten Saloons Given Right to Operate
Without Debate, but Fight
Is Made on Two
Places
(On Sale Friday

The twelve retail liquor permits
promised the saloon men of San Pedro
by the consolidation committee before
consolidation became effective were
granted by the police commission at its
meeting last night.
On ten of these permits there was no
argument or question and they were
granted in a bunch, the entire COM
mission voting for them, but on two
there was division of the board, and
Mayor Alexander and Commissioner
Topham voted no" As three votes
constitute a majority Of the commits
sion the permits were granted.
In explalng his vote for these per
Inits, Commissioner Trask expressed
the sentiments of the entire commits
sion when he said:
IF we were to act on twelve appli-
Cants for retail saloons for portion OF
the city as small as San Pedro I be-
lieve every one of us would say no.
There is not one word to be said IN
favor of the liquor traffic. It is a hor-
rible business. But we are bound by
certain promises made by the consoli-
dation commission. Those promises
were that the twelve retail liquor per-
mits held at San Pedro at the time of
consolidation should continue. They
had no business to make any such
promise, but they did, and the police
commission has no alternative but 20
grant these permits.
Ministers Make Fight
Rev. Percival Hickman and other
members of the San Pedro Ministerial
association who have been making such
a hard fight against the continuance of
the twelve saloons in San Pedro were
convinced they could not hope to defeat
the ten licenses, but there were two
on which they felt they had good
grounds to enter complaint. One of
these was the saloon of Carlson q
Kelly. Rev. Mr.. Hickman produced a
number of affidavits to prove that a
gambling joint had been conducted in
the room above the saloon and that a
dumb waiter in the rear of the saloon
carried drinks TO the room above. But
this was done prior to consolidation
and the commission felt that as no evil
dence of gambling had been noted since
consolidation they were in honor bound
to give the permit to the applicants.
Mayor Alexander and Commissioner
Topham voted against it. The mayor
declared he had known Luke Kelly for
o. number of years and did not believe
he was a fit person to have the permit.
Strong objection also was made to
the application of Bessolo S5 Troxler,
DuL Wnen the AudtteL came DeIoI6 lIle
board last night it was found that Bes-
solo, against whom the chief complaint
was made, had sold out his portion of
the saloon to his partner i. T. Troxler.
r. A. Todd, the attorney representing
Troxler, offered to take the stand and
swear that the sale was bona fide.
The objection to the Bessolo & Trox-
Ter application was that disreputable
house had been conducted above the
Ylace even as late as September 20. 1t
was shown that such was not now the
case, as Chief Dishman reported he had
made an investigation and found the
rooms above unoccupied. This permit
was granted with the mayor and Top
ham voting against it.
