TO FAVOR PATRIOTS.
BRAZIL WILL VERY SOON RECOGNIZE CUBANS AS BELLIGERENTS.
Boston, Mass., Oct. 17.—At last the initiative has been taken in the recognition of the Cuban insurgents. A dispatch to a morning paper states authoritatively that within the week the Government of Brazil will issue a proclamation announcing this intention. This statement is given out by a member very high in the Brazilian Government, and there can be no doubt as to its import.
For some time past Brazil has been trying to secure the co-operation of the United States in jointly recognizing the struggling patriots, but as her efforts have been unsuccessful she resolved to go ahead on her own responsibility. At a special meeting of the Cabinet, which was held on the 14th, the members composing it unanimously agreed to support the Government in any such action.
The Spanish Minister at Rio Janeiro has made the strongest protest against any such action, but without avail. He has communicated with the home Government and it is expected that he will be recalled at any moment. The special meeting of the Cabinet which had been called for the 23d inst. is thought to be for the express purpose of putting the question before the Government.
THE SAVING OF WATER.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES AS TO THE AMOUNT OF WATER SAVED BY THE CEMENTING OF DITCHES AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW FLUMES.
The following circular, containing the report of Engineer Rogers of the water company in reference to the large amount of water saved in the ditches of the company by the cementing of canals and the construction of new flumes, was sent out to stockholders on Friday afternoon before the meeting to vote on the enlargement of the water boundaries. The report is also accompanied by a statement as to the financial condition of the company, and will be perused with interest by our readers:
REPORT OF THE TREASURER.
As to the condition of the bonded indebtedness Bonds of the Anaheim Union Water Company sold and exchanged to date:
Exchanged for notes... $18,510.00
Sold for cash... 22,240.00
Issued for construction... 25,500.00
Total outstanding... $66,250.00
In hands of Treasurer... 83,750.00
Total issue... $150,000.00
Yours truly, L. Goldwater, Treasurer.
ENGINEER'S REPORT.
To the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company:
I have examined your system of ditches with a view to making an estimate of probable loss of water when prior to the cementing of portions of your ditches, you conducted water through earth ditches made in the generally porous soil of this section; and also an estimate of the amount of water saved by the improvements that have been made during the past eighteen months. I have gathered data from your Superintendent and Zanjeros, and from their reports on file in your office, and have endeavored to thoroughly inform myself as to the soil of this section, its quality as to holding water, etc. I herewith submit the following:
In estimating the amount of water saved, I will consider the ditch system: in two sections. First—That portion carrying water from the headgates to the points where it is turned over to the Zanjeros for distribution.
This is based on the still and wasteful distributing system work now under construction and depletion will not only make present doubly sure, but give latitude for stock sales whenever the judgment cretion of the stockholders deserves course wise. Respectfully submit CHAS. S ROGE.
Engineer Anabeim Union Water Company
I certify that the above statement Rogers is to the best of my belief correct, but a moderate and conscientate tide of waters saved. You fully,
J. C. SHEPARD, Superintendent
By order of the Board of Directors

BATTLESHIP INDIANA.
MOST POWERFUL SHIP OF HER CLASS
AFLOAT—TO GO INTO COMMISSION
SOON AFTER NOVEMBER 1ST.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20.—The U. S. S.
Indiana, which left Boston Friday night, arrived at her dock at Cramp's shipyard at 5 o'clock this afternoon. On the trip around
the members of the government trial board made a six and one-half hour's test of the ship's coal consumption, the results of
which will be worked out and submitted to the Secretary of the Navy.
Edwin S. Cramp, who had charge of the trip, said the Indiana averaged 13 knots an hour from Boston to Delaware Breakwater, a distance of 414 knots. This is almost to secure the co-operation of the United States in jointly recognizing the struggling patriots, but as her efforts have been unsuccessful she resolved to go ahead on her own responsibility. At a special meeting of the Cabinet, which was held on the 14th, the members composing it unanimously agreed to support the Government in any such action.
The Spanish Minister at Rio Janeiro has made the strongest protest against any such action, but without avail. He has communicated with the home Government and it is expected that he will be recalled at any moment. The special meeting of the Cabinet which had been called for the 23d inst., is thought to be for the express purpose of putting the question before the Government, so that the recognition of the insurgents may take place before the end of the month.
Dispatches from Santiago de Cuba received to day dated the 14th bring intelligence of two large battles fought on the 11th and 12th near Sabinica. The insurgents had established their field headquarters in the mountain passes to the east of the River Cantos.
They numbered nearly 2,000 men, under General Macco. On the afternoon of the 11th a large Spanish force, under General Navarro, from Santiago de Cuba, made an advance on the rebel lines and were replaced with heavy slaughter, 300 men being lost in the skirmish. On the 12th they were re-inforced by two regiments of Grintas, from the garrison at Dos Caminos, and once more made an attack on the insurgents' lines.
The Spanish troops had with them a field battery, which created havoc among the insurgents, forcing them to retreat. The entire hospital and a large quantity of stores fell into the hands of the regulars. The rebel loss was unknown, but it must have been very heavy. The Spanish lost 250 men.
On the 14th a small body of rebels were overtaken by a superior body of Spanish cavalry near Puerto Principe. During the day both sides received reinforcements, resulting in a pitched battle. The rebels were defeated, their loss being light. The Spanish loss was about 200 men. General Navarro claims that the whole of the insurgents in the eastern part of the island are practically defeated and that they cannot hold out much longer. In spite of this fact, preparations are being made for an extensive fall campaign.
MADRID, Spain, Oct. 17.—Queen Isabel II, now in Paris, has sent the following cablegram sent her on her birthday day: "More than ever I thank you for your kind congratulations. You know that my heart accompanies you. I ask God to protect you and give you victory. Ever your sincere and grateful friend," Isabel."
On the 30th inst., the Duke of Tamannes sails for Cuba. One report says that he will take command of a regiment of volunteers. Another that he goes on an important political mission.
Several Cabinet meetings have been held at the residence of the Premier, Senor Cano vas del Castillo. They were devoted to the Cuban question.
It is announced that 12,000 troops will start for Cuba October 22.

MOST POWERFUL SHIP OF HER CLASS
AFLOAT—TO GO INTO COMMISSION
SOON AFTER NOVEMBER 1ST.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20.—The U. S. S.
Indiana, which left Boston Friday night, arrived at her dock at Cramp's shipyard at 5 o'clock this afternoon. On the trip around the members of the government trial board made a six and one-half hours' test of the ship's coal consumption, the results of which will be worked out and submitted to the Secretary of the Navy.
Edwin S. Cramp, who had charge of the trip, said the Indiana averaged 13 knots an hour from Boston to Delaware Breakwater, a distance of 414 knots. This is almost equal to the time made by the cruisers under ordinary draught and is very remarkably fast traveling when the fact is considered that the Indiana is built for fighting, not for speed.
Last night the ship encountered a severe gale, but weathered it beautifully. Only a few of those who were on board when the official trial off the Massachusetts coast was made last Friday, came back on the ship. Capt. Evans, her future master, stuck to his post, however, and was enthusiastic in his praise of the sea-going and fighting qualities of his new charge. In an interview he reiterated his former declaration that the Indiana is the finest ship of her class affloat, being far ahead of any battleship attached to the navy of any foreign power. He says that on the run back the engines were worked under forced draught for a while, and the patent log showed a speed of 16 3-10 knots an hour.
Capt. Evans will remain in Philadelphia until the finishing touches are put on the Indiana. It is expected that she will be ready to go into commission soon after November 1. She will then be given her government trial, which consists of a forty-eight hours' run to sea. During this test her guns will all be fired with the regulation charge, and if everything proves satisfactory, the big floating fortress will then be ready to take her place with the Atlantic squadron.
The Indiana's sister ship, the Massachusetts, is rapidly nearing completion, her armor being placed in position as fast as it is received at the shipyard. It is not believed, however, that she will be given her official trial before next spring.

portion which is conducted through your lateral cemented ditches on the streets named. This water you continue to save after having added it to the flow in your upper ditches. Of the other 200 inches saved in the upper ditches you probably lose about one-half, consequently your actual saving would be a constant flow of 300 inches, and this should bring you on additional annual revenue of $4,500, which would justify you in making an expenditure of about $64,000, or about twice what the improvements have cost you. As a matter of fact you save much more than 300 inches constant flow. The estimate is made on the basis of 1,800 inches being taken in at the headgate when you take the least amount of water from the river. I have no doubt you make a saving of over 400 inches constant flow in the months of April, May, June, July, August and September. The daily reports of your Zanjeros show that water was wasted into the sandwash in considerable quantities during the months of July and August of this year, notwithstanding the fact that water was kept low in the upper ditches during the construction of new flumes and the building of new sections of the ditch. I am informed that this season the Zanjeros have busied themselves drumming up customers for water, while two years ago the stockholders or users were running after the Zanjeros and waiting for water. On Run No. 6, commencing August 1st, all of the water that had been bought was delivered in five days. Your water sales in 1893 amounted to $6,540, and your sales for the present year to date have been about $9,000, and for the year will be considerably more, and yet water has gone to waste. Comparing this with 1894, the water sales amounting to $13,567 60 by reason of the extraordinary dry season, showed a capacity for the sale and prompt delivery of a much larger body of water than that sold in 1895, although the improvements had during the season of 1894 only been started. Had the demand for water during 1895 been equal to the supply and improved capacity of ditches, the company could certainly have sold and delivered on the same basis of rates as 1894, $18,000 to $20,000 worth of water. Your Superintendent informs me that no one has been obliged to wait for water this season except on one occasion, when he was about to turn water into the new flumes, and was obliged to keep the water low in the North Ausheim ditch for a short time.
These are the best evidences that you have saved a large amount of water by the improvements you have made, and that you have a surplus above what is needed by present consumers.
As an engineer, I say you have done well to improve your ditches, and you should continue to do so and increase your supply at warrantable cost if you can find users for the water. The expense of maintaining your ditches will be less and the cost of water to the consumer will be correspondingly less. In conclusion, I would say that as a result of a close and personal examination there is, in my opinion, no doubt whatever of the water supply being sufficient to irrigate 2,000 acres of land more than was irrigated this year, on the basis of one inch of water to seven opaque when attacked; the Indian low comes from the camel; ivory produce the ivory black and bone; exquisite prussian blue combs; fusing horse hoofs and other refractal matter with impure potassium borne; various lakes are derived roots; barks and gums; blue black from the charcoal of the vine; turkey red is made from the plant; which grows in Hindustra yellow sap of a Siam tree produced boge; raw sienne is the natural from the neighborhood of Sienna; raw umber is an earth found near bria and burned; india ink is from burned camphor; mastic is from the gum of the mastic tree; grows in the Grecian archipelagos; is the soot of wood ash; very real ultramarine, obtained from precious lapis lazuli; is found in market; the Chinese white is zinc let is iodide of mercury; and very is from the quicksilver ore cinnamal.
The Mule and the Peasant,
One day a mule who was drawn cart along a highway suddenly oiled a stop and began lamenting his fate.
"How now, you ingrate!" said the peasant in reply. "Are you fed and lodged, and do I ever ask to work on the Sabbath day?"
"But behold the muddy high replied the mule." My strength failed to utmost to pull my load."
"I idiot of a mule," it is owing mind that I have loaded the car only 600 pounds! If there was no I'd insist that you draw 1,000!"

Lady Sholto Douglas, the variety actress who married the youngest son of the Marquis of Queensbury, wants to return to the stage. She has written a letter to a San Francisco theatrical manager asking an engagement as a variety actress.
An unsuccessful attempt to rob the post office at Downey was made Monday night. The thieves first forced an entrance into an adjacent blacksmith shop and secured the tools they needed. They were evidently frightened away before they commenced operations and left the tools on the ground. There is no clue to the would-be robbers.
Emily Siring, a 15-year-old Portland girl, attempted self-destruction because her father refused to allow her to attend a dance. She brooded over this denial of pleasure until she reached the conclusion that life was something of a blank. She is the fifth Portland girl who within the past year has attempted suicide for similar reasons, and two of them succeeded in crossing the Jordan.
Mrs. Leva Marshall is a discredited heroine. It is no longer believed by the railroad officials that she bravely repulsed two robbers after they had wounded her. It is believed that she was visited by some acquaintance who shot her as the result of a quarrel or disappointment at being repulsed. Mrs. Marshall has asked to be put back to work, but the request has been denied. Miss C.B. Wilson, a professional nurse, says she knew a Mrs. Leva Marshall at Council Grove, Kan., who was implicated in a shooting scrape there several years ago. This Mrs. Marshall was a telegraph operator, and one night her husband found a prominent railroad official visiting her. A shooting affray followed, in which the railroad man was nearly killed.
After Controller Bowler's decision to send the sugar bounty cases to the Court of Claims, Secretary Carlisle promised the sugar men that he would hear them, if they desired on this question. Last week, men to throw up their hands, and, as they did not, began firing. The battle was short, though desperate, and the four men kept firing rapidly for several minutes. Soon Benton fell dead with a bullet through his heart, and Smith went to the ground with two bad wounds. A yell of pain came from Frank Stevens, a bystander, one of his arms being almost torn from his body. Andy Coyle, who had taken the part of the officers was hit in his thigh. Cook and Smith are in custody. The battle has caused great excitement over the hill.
The lemon crop in the Palermo district this year is an exceedingly large one, at least twice as large as last year's crop, according to a report by United States Consul Seymour to the State Department. Owing to the drought and small insects, however, the fruit is not of good quality. Shipments of new fruit are now beginning. While it is early to judge as to oranges, it is improbable that they will be as abundant as last year, which, however, does not signify a scarcity nor even a lack of ability to supply any drafts made on the district. Of the total average Italian crop of 10,000,000 boxes of oranges and lemons, 3,000,000 go to the United States.
William Blake and three others were convicted of murder at Hampton, S.C., and Blake was recommended to the mercy of the court and his sentence was life imprisonment. The other three were sentenced to be hanged. Great dissatisfaction arose at the jury's recommendation of mercy to Blake, and some persons were heard to say that he would never reach the penitentiary. The convicted men, as soon as the court adjourned, were taken out of the courtroom. On their way to the jail the Sheriff and his constables were overpowered by a number of men and Blake and William Frazier, who were handcuffed together, were forced from the custody of the constables and taken off into the woods. The handcuffs were unlocked and in some way Frazier was returned to the custody of the jailer. The crowd numbering fifty persons, proceeded to a dense piece of wood and hanged Blake with a plowline to the limb of a tree.

The drought began in the latter part of July, but in most of the sections it did not become markedly pronounced until August. The entire Atlantic Coast, with a few exceptions, such as Charleston, S. C., and Auburn, Ga., shows a deficiency below the normal rainfall since the 1st of August. Counting in some instances to almost half the average precipitation. The Ohio and Mississippi valleys report similar conditions, does a part of the Pacific Coast. The Great Lake region, upon the whole, has had better than other sections of the country east of the Mississippi. In some parts of the Rocky-mountain region, as in Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming and Utah, there have been excessive rainfall during this period along the Pacific Coast from Olympia to San Francisco there were good rains in September, as there have been in places once in that section.
The greatest complaints come from West Virginia, Kentucky and Western Pennsylvania. Fortunately, in most parts of the country the drought did not set in until later the principal crops were matured, consequently the effect has not been so disastrous as it would have been if it had begun earlier. In some places it had a slight effect on the planting of winter wheat and complaints come from many quarters of the convenience of securing water for domestic and stock purposes, many small streams, rock ponds, springs and wells having been dry. Pastures have been injured in many States. It is also noticeable that there has been an increase of typhoid fever over normal in many of the sections where the drought is severe.
The official figures for the entire country covering the period from March 1 to October show a deficiency. At Eastport, Me., more than one-third of the normal; at Newen almost a third; at Albany, N.Y., more than a fourth; Harrisburg, Pa., more than a half; Philadelphia, about a fourth; Washington, about a fifth; Norfolk, Va., almost a sixth; Walmington, N.C., between a sixth and a fourth; Jacksonville, Fla.; almost fourth; Vicksburg, Miss., about two-sevenths; Galveston, about two-fifths; Knoxville, Tenn., almost a fourth; Louisville, more than a fourth; Indianapolis, more than third; Cincinnati, more than two fifths; with out the same rate at Columbus, Q., Parkburg, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Toledo androit, and in much of the lake region.
The falling off in the Upper Mississippi Valley and Rocky Mountain States was less marked. The cities which show an excessive fall for the entire season are: Columbia, C.; Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah, Ga.; Nashville, Fla.; Fort Smith and Little Rock, K.; Arkansas City, Mo.; Pierre, S. C.; St. Louis, Minn.; Cheyenne, Wyo.; Denver Pueblo, Colo.; Abilene, Kan.; Astoria; Eureka and Red Bluff, Cal.

After Controller Bowler's decision to send the sugar bounty cases to the Court of Claims, Secretary Carlisle promised the sugar men that he would hear them, if they desired, on this question. Last week the Secretary telegraphed ex Senator Manderson, notifying him that the Court of Claims will meet on the 28th of this month, and unless the question as to the Controller's jurisdiction was raised before that time he would send the claims to the court. The Secretary received a reply from Manderson, renewing his request for a hearing and asking that the time be fixed on some date before November 10. In his telegram Manderson declared that the Controller neither had jurisdiction nor right to send the case to the Court of Claims without the consent of the claimants.
Mrs. Myrtle McDowell of Lompoc, Cal., on her way East on a visit to her mother, who resides in Missouri, was presented, while seated in the passenger train at Sacramento, which had pulled on a side track to allow the west-bound passenger to pass with a cast-off babe by a woman who alighted from the incoming train and walked hurriedly through the cars of the other until she came to Mrs. McDowell whom she asked to hold the infant while she checked her bagage. Mrs. McDowell watched the woman through the car window and saw her get aboard the west bound train. Both trains pulled out of the depot in a few minutes as Mrs. McDowell still held the babe in her lap. She took it on to Kansas City, where she carried the infant to the rooms of the Humane Society and the agent agreed to try to find it a home. Mrs. McDowell's husband is a minister.
Heroic efforts were made by the political officials of Thomas Ashworth, Superintendent of Streets of San Francisco, to prevent the presentation by the grand jury of its accusation against him, charging him with willful and corrupt conduct in office. Members of the grand jury were besought by scores of men during the past week to give him a hearing before any action was taken against him, but the appeals were made in vain. It was plain to the grand jury that there had been wrong-doing in the street department and as he was responsible for the affairs of that department, the charge which had to be made, was made against him. His integrity is not questioned, but some of them in his employ are not similarly respected for their honesty. The accusation practically means that Ashworth has not managed the department properly, and that he must bear the blame of the abuses which he has permitted.
There is a revival of the report that Mr. and Mrs. Truxton Beale have separated this time finally. Their unhappiness in their married life has been pretty well known, and friends on both sides who are well acquainted with the facts in the case say this move is final, pending proceedings for divorce which will ultimately be instituted by Mrs. Beale. Beale has gone abroad, and Mrs. Beale is with her mother at their home in Maine. In compatibility of temper is the reason assigned for the separation. Mrs. Beale is the youngest daughter of the late James G. Blaine, and her marriage in 1894 to Truxton Beale, a member of one of the most distinguished Washington families, was supposed to be a genuine love match, and their union was regarded with favor by their mutual friends. Soon after their wedding day Beale began to show signs of incompatibility, and his habits became quite eccentric. He was Minister to Persia under President Harrison, and since his return has spent much of his time in the clubs of New York and Washington. He
Fred Bogan of San Francisco and Jack Frazier both of whom claim the Coast feather-weight championship, fought a fifteen-round draw before the Los Angeles Athletic Club, with Frazier having muchthe best at it end. The affair was bloody to a degree, the ring after the seventound looking like a shambles, though neither man was badly hurt. Both men mixed things up badly, making a hammer-and-tongs fight untilthe affair ended in a row. Inthe seventound Bogan's nose was punched so that he bled like a stuck pig,and his left ear was split and added its rivulet of gore tothe general tone of carnage that prevailed.Inthe third Bogan got Frazier againstthe ropes,andthe latter's scalp was badly cut open,sothat those that liked sanguine sport were pleased.Both men were game and fought like tigers and were soon plastered with blood from head to foot.Duringthe fifteenth round Henry Monogun jumped intothe ring and was promptly thrown outbythe referee.A general row followed,andthe police stoppedthe contest,a decisionofa drawing given.

William Reidy, residing near Livermore, tampered with a rattlesnake on his ranch, and came near losing his life. His children had seen the snake enter a hole in the ground and told him. The hole was not of sufficient depth to hide the reptile's entire body, and several inches of its tail protruded. Reidy pinioned the snake with a stick, and then proceeded to drive a nail through its tail, with the expectation that it would sting itself to death when it found it could not get away. Mrs. Reidy hold the snake's tail down with a stick while the nail-driving operation was going on, but the snake did not like the proceeding and drew its head from the hole as quick as a flash. The woman screamed and dropped the stick, and the snake darted its fangs into Riedy's hand. It glided away and Reidy hastened off to hunt a doctor. He started toward Livermore on the run, and had gone two miles when he reached the ranch of a man named Cunningham. The latter hitched up a team and put the whip to his horses to hasten the injured man to a doctor. The hand was rapidly swelling and was very painful, and by the time a doctor was found the bitten member had swollen to several times its normal size, and the swelling was reaching up the arm. Heroic treatment stopped the work of the poison, but Reidy still has a very bad hand and arm, and will have cause to remember the rattler for many a day.
Town Marshal Dan Benton of Goldfield, Col., was instantly killed Sunday afternoon, and Frank Smith, Andy Coyle and Frank Stephens were seriously wounded. Revivers, shotguns and rifles were called into play. A month ago trouble was caused by the confiscation of a revolver by a police officer. The weapon was the property of Frank Smith, a saloon keeper, who demanded that it be returned to him. Sunday he and a friend named Cook, both heavily armed, again presented the claim to Marshal Benton, who refused to give the revolver up. The Marshal and Deputy Burt retreated to a cabin for the purpose of arranging their arms. Smith and Cook stationed themselves a hundred feet from the door and awaited the reappearance of the officers. The Marshal and his deputy each stepped out with a revolver in hand. Benton called to the two
San Francisco has had its bloomer balls and bloomer marriages and now a bloomer restaurant has been opened in the very business center of the city. It is the first of its kind known in the world, but the style may soon become fashionable. Although just opened it has sprung into an lucrative business place in a day. The "Bloomer cafe" is the name of the place, and four active, stoutly built waiter girls, attired in the latest style of bloomers are the main attraction, though the place is new and neat and the bill of fare tempting. The costume of the four up-to-date waitresses is very much on the zonave plan, especially the waist. Still it is a modest costume and the girls have seemingly gotten used to it. They flit back and forth attending to their duties, but if closely eyed two or three get together and a giggling laugh results as they walk hurriedly to the kitchen. The waitresses in dark green and blue bloomers are Miss Nellie Gray, Miss Rosa Wilson, Miss May Mayne, and Miss Fannie Wagner. The manager says, "The girls were quite shy at first, but to day they have been so busy that they have had no time to think of anything but work. I will increase the force very soon. The girls are very much pleased with their own attire. They say they can work ever so much more rapidly and easily than when they wore skirts and they do not get so tired. They are very ladylike and no attempt at rudeness toward them has been made and of course none will be allowed. The girls find the new costumes very handy in cleaning up also. They can get around to much better advantage. The Bloomer cafe has opened up successfully and I have no doubt of keeping our customers. The girls are not picked for ornament. They are selected with the idea of giving the best service to customers, and they do it."
