The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...MARCH 32, 1898 Mr. FAY said at the meeting of fruit growers and others at the City Hall on Monday that the time would soon be here when people would tumble over each other in their endeavor to subscribe for stock in the preserving company, or cannery. We believe the observation to be strictly true in every particular. Upwards of a thousand shares have been already subscribed, and there are excellent indications that this amount will be very largely augmented before the meeting of Directors called for Monday next. Mr. Guenther of Orange, one of the leading men of his section, who was wisely chosen to a seat upon the directorate, states that his section will be good for 100 shares. Mr. Whitaker of Buena Park is good for perhaps as many more. Mr. Bill of Garden Grove is creating a degree of enthusiasm relative to the enterprise in his section that augurs well for the success of the corporation, and Mr. Benchley will be a tower of strength at Fullerton and Placentia. Where in the confines of the county of Orange can four men, better qualified to assist in the upbuilding of a community, be selected to help us in this commendable task at this moment? Certainly there are none such, and Anaheim is to be congratulated on having, not only the benefit of their experience and counsel in the deliberations of the board, but their financial assistance as well. The capital stock of the corporation has been increased from $10,000 to $25,000. A portion of this increased stock will probably be taken by the San Diego pickle company which wishes to join with the enterprise, a communication having been received from them having this end in view. Reckoning upon this view of the situation, and allowing for liberal subscriptions to stock on the part of those who, now that they see the enterprise is a "go," will come forward and assist in the project, we feel satisfied that the stock list will be very largely augmented in the near future. So we say that, when this time arrives, Mr. Fay's prophesy will be literally true in every detail—men will be tumbling over themselves in order to secure subscriptions to stock in this promising undertaking. down from Los Angeles, and accompanied the remains to Los Angeles where they were cremated. MESSRS. SPRINGER AND PATTEK, traveling freight agents of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railway companies, were in town on Monday in attendance upon the cannery meeting. These gentlemen have been close attendants at the meetings held to formulate plans for the establishment of this enterprise, and now that the project is well on the way to successful consumption, it is time for them to say what their respective roads will do to help the matter along. What offers do you make, gentlemen, relative to sites? JOS. HATFIELD has had a very striking as well as beautiful fob made out of the eight medals won by him at target practice while a member of Company G, N. G. C., of this city, which was mustered out of service in 1896. At target practice during the years '88, '89, '90, '91 and '92, he won the bronze marksman medal, scoring 60 points, out of 100. In '93 and '94 his shooting improved, and he carried off the rifleman's silver medal, scoring 80 points out of 100. In '95 he won the sharpshooter's gold medal, scoring 92 out of 100. In that year he qualified for entering into the competition for the diamond medal, to be awarded to the best marksman in the National Guard of California, but was unfortunately taken ill and could not attend the contest at Sacramento. Joe will wear the medal as a watch-fob, which Oscar Luedke has constructed in his usual artistic style, and feels a conscious pride in the trophy. THE Postoffice Department at Washington has given notification of the revocation of the rule excluding from the address on a postal-card words indicating the business or occupation of the addressee. This action by the department has resulted from the receipt of hundreds of protests from large mercantile concerns which had purchased postal-cards in lots ranging from 1,000 to 10,000, upon the back of which they had printed blanks to be used by customers in ordering goods, the face of the card bearing the name of the firm, the nature of the business and its location. Such cards, under the rule just rescinded, were declared unmailable, but when received at post offices they were delivered upon the payment by the recipient of two cents additional postage. WILL THERE BE WAR? New wives and daughters? Need any vote of mine. "Some tell us we must wait for Irish elections. If her elections rotten as her diplomacy, we do wait. It is claimed that if we will until the Spanish elections, Spain will give all concessions. Are we fooled twice with the same trick De Lome so soon forgotten? "Some tell us we are not present When shall we be better prepared Will it be when the Spanish town flotilla has crossed the waters and complacently on its base of support within five or six hours' distance fleet? We know now officially who have believed for forty days. Shall wait until she can destroy more ships and men? God forbid that a crime be charged to us! "Let us awake and shake off these nene narcotic that locks us in indolence; murmuring, 'Peace and price." "Awake, as our forefathers Concord and Bunker Hill! Awake glorious war against a nation burns homes and murders wound children! Awake to glorious war seeks no gain for us in treasure or ritory; but a war to drive our sor from the continent; to set them star in the sky forever, and that will help us for generation come, by giving notice that they of our flag and the lives of our city must be respected among the men of the world." [Applause in the lories.]" WASHINGTON, March 29.-Ciggsbee arrived this morning. Was a big crowd at the depot; neighbors had a demonstration at home. His rooms were a bower of flowers. He says he does not want resumes to take command of one cruisers at Key West. He called on the president this noon and urged sending a vessel Havana to protect Americans offered to command it. WASHINGTON (D. C.) March 29.-It was learned tonight beyond that the Cabinet has been misreprising the situation, and that Spain no proposals at all. The Cabinet bers now openly admit that every posal discussed for the past two weeks came from Gen. Woodford or Washington. The Cabinet thus Spain must accept intervention, but will not. NEW YORK, March 29.-Accorded to the Washington correspondent the Tribune, naval officers who talked with Capt Siggsbee since his rival in this city are more firmly convinced than ever that war will likely come out of the Cuban situation and that the energy with which army and navy departments have extraordinary preparations in these few weeks will not have been caught. As soon as the commander Maine reported at the navy department he lost no time in explaining Capt. Crowninshield, chief of navy, the intolerable attitude of his sympathizers in Havana harbor city toward Americans, and participles their animosity to American join with the enterprise, a communication having been received from them having this end in view. Reckoning upon this view of the situation, and allowing for liberal subscriptions to stock on the part of those who, now that they see the enterprise is a "go," will come forward and assist in the project, we feel satisfied that the stock list will be very largely augmented in the near future. So we say that, when this time arrives, Mr. Fay's prophesy will be literally true in every detail—men will be tumbling over themselves in order to secure subscriptions to stock in this promising undertaking. We have had it drummed into our ears, principally by newcomers who have had unwise counsels since their advent into the community, that, because the people of Anaheim have not "stood together" in the past, we have lost enterprise after enterprise, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, to the eternal detriment of the community. A spirit of faction is said to have existed, to the undoing of every project formulated for the good and the upbuilding of the community. A greater libel upon an intelligent and wide-awake people was never penned by an itinerant scribe! Let us tell our friends, the newcomers amongst us, that no man who came into the community having the sword of a judgment debt hanging over him in the East, who sought by devious means to evade the tentacles of his defrauded creditors, has had a license in the past to point out the way to the development of this community: no man, if we may be permitted to carry the simile further, with ten legal shares of stock on the books, and 525 fraudulent shares up his sleeve, has been qualified in the past to lead the way to the development of our latent resources! What our people abhor over and above all things is dishonor and fraud in public work; and the reason why a certain enterprise, started by the people of this city in the past, failed, can be traced unerringly to the nefarious practices of scams in high cloth, who by their unworth and chicanery brought the efforts of the people to naught. Let us have no more about this failure of our people to pull together, that is a reproach to every intelligent man in the community! No one can utter the remark except through ignorance or those bearing false witness. Anaheimers do pull together, as they have shown in many instances—as they are showing to-day in this cannery enterprise. And our word for it, there will be no stock up people's sleeves to override the will of the people! Some time we may be tempted to again tell the story of how a great and noble undertaking, started by the citizens of this city, was throttled and done to death by this unholly practice! But a plenty of that! Let us set our faces resolutely to the east, where the sun of prosperity now illumines the horizon! Let those of our people who can subscribe to stock do so, before it will be too late, and an opportunity of purchasing stock in one of the best paying businesses in the county be lost to them. WASHINGTON, March 29.—Consul General Lee cables the state department that there is a renewal of the excitement. It is reported that Lee's message represents that the situation is critical, and that his life is in danger. He advised all Americans to leave immediately. Commander Sampson NEW YORK, March 29.—According to the Washington correspondence to the Tribune, naval officers who talked with Capt Signee since he rival in this city are more firmly convinced than ever that war will inevitably come out of the Cuban situation and that the energy with which army and navy departments have extraordinary preparations in these few weeks will not have been caught. As soon as the commander of Maine reported at the navy department he lost no time in explaining Capt. Crowninshield, chief of naval action, the intolerable attitude of Irish sympathizers in Havana harbor city toward Americans, and particularly their animosity to American officers now at work on the wreck of Maine. He said trouble could not be avoided much longer, and when a collision not occur, in his opinion, the authorities would be powerless to detect either the small American coast or the ones ashore. All days and well into the night foul epiphysitis insults to the dead as well as to living, and taunting threats are seized to those upon the vessels around Maine's wrecking, numerous boating to and fro in the harbor, and demonstrations have been steadily creasing for the last ten days, especially since the Montgomery came until an overt act was liable to any moment.

Excerpts of News About the Impending Conflict Between the United States and Spain. WASHINGTON (D.C.), March 29. It is possible to-night that Congress will declare war within two days.The President, in sending the relief message to Congress to-morrow, will ask for a short delay, and this may be granted, but probably it will not be. The most significant point this afternoon was the meeting of fifty-six House Republicans, headed by Mr.Hopkins of Illinois, mostly from Ohio Valley States。它 was resolved to take a poll of the House to-morrow,and if strong enough,serve notice on Speaker Reed that he must permit a Cuban resolution to be introduced。这 may be anything when introduced,but it will be amended。Thirty-two additional members were secured to aid this after the meeting was over。它 is believed that the Speaker will yield;If not,the resolution will be passed on some other bill as a rider. The Republicans have received many telegrams urging war from their constituents in the last two days,and fear the Democrats will get ahead of them and declare war. The President is still trying to make arrangements to sustain the Spanish flag and shadow of Spanish authority in case Spain refuses to sell the island。它 is believed to-night,however,the that he will soon take his place at the head of the war hosts of the Republicans. HAVANA,March 29.-There is great joy in official circles over the news given out by the press censor that President McKinley has apparently abandoned any intention not favorable to Spain and that the entente cordiale exists between the governments.Since the printing of these reports Spaniards are cheering and rejoicing.La Lucha and Diaro de la Mariana have printed extras announcing a Spanish victory. MADRID,March 29.-The feeling here is less feverish,owing to the report thatthe relations withthe United States are less strained.The opinion is that Spain has gained the advantage. HAVANA,March 29.-There is a panic amongthe Spanish families here,fearingthe port will be attacked.Many are leaving.Americans are also leaving.The American consulate is crowded with people wanting passports.The excitement against Americans is intense.The municipality of Bolondron has held a meeting and passed resolutions against accepting relief fromthe United States,and it is believed other Spanish townswill followthe example. WASHINGTON,March 29.-Consul General Lee cablesthe state department that there is a renewal ofthe excitement。它 is reported that Lee's message represents thatthe situation is critical,and thathis life is in danger.He advised allAmericansto leave immediately.Command Sampson The death of A. Guy Smith occurred at his home in Tustin, as stated in these columns last week, on Wednesday morning, March 23d. It had been known that he had been confined to his home for a month previous on account of illness, but it was not thought to be of such a serious nature. Mr. Smith had been a sufferer from heart trouble for several years, and a severe cold contracted about a month ago aggravated the malady, which terminated fatally. Physicians were at his bedside during the night, and did everything possible for him. Mr. Smith was one of the first supervisors elected after the organizing of Orange county, and, with the exception of one term, has been a member of the board ever since. At the election of 1890 he was chosen to represent the seventy-eighth district, which was then composed of Orange and a portion of Los Angeles counties, in the twenty-ninth term of the California Legislature, being the new county's first representative. He was 54 years of age at the time of his death, and ever since his residence in Tustin, where he has resided for a number of years, has been known as a most public-spirited man, always taking an active interest in all things that tended toward the good of the county. He was formerly a resident of Anaheim, where many old-time friends learn with regret of his untimely end. Simon Smith, a brother of the deceased, came fearing the port will be attacked. Many are leaving. Americans are also leaving. The American consulate is crowded with people wanting passports. The excitement against Americans is intense. The municipality of Bolondron has held a meeting and passed resolutions against accepting relief from the United States, and it is believed other Spanish towns will follow the example. WASHINGTON, March 29.—Consul General Lee cables the state department that there is a renewal of the excitement. It is reported that Lee's message represents that the situation is critical, and that his life is in danger. He advised all Americans to leave immediately. Commander Sampson at Key West will send a war-ship, should Lee request it. WASHINGTON, March 29.—Administration circles are surprised at the reception of the president's message. Opposition to his pacific policy is likely to cause him to change his attitude and favor firmer measures. Congressmen talk in favor of intervention. Boutelle of Maine says European powers will soon intervene, if we do not. The president is informed of the situation in congress and has decided not to send in the consular reports on Cuba immediately. Senator Morgan will introduce a resolution to noarrow declaring war with Spain. Senator Allen of Nebraska introduced a resolution to-day recognizing Cuban independence and demanding intervention immediately. The resolution says Spain has already lost Cuba, and provides for an appropriation of $100,000 to aid the starving Cubans. WASHINGTON, March 29.—Senator Mason of Illinois made a great speech in the Senate to-day, advocating war with Spain. He concluded amid great excitement as follows: "I shall oppose any plan to assist Spain to place any kind of autonomy on Cuba. Spain cannot be trusted to keep her promise, and we cannot undertake to compel her to. Aside from that, poor Cuba has paid a larger price for liberty than we did, and she must be free. I shall oppose any plan that looks to forcing Cuba in the future to pay Spain in cash for her liberty. Her land is full of graves, and her future generations must not be mortgaged." "It is claimed by some that Cuba ought to be willing to pay Spain's Cuban war debt. Ought Cuba to pay for the powder and lead that killed her people; pay for the torches that burned her homes; pay the back wages of the Spanish soldiers who ravished the fearing the port will be attacked." Cannery Site Notice is hereby given by the Board of Directors of the Orange County Preserving Co., that proposals to furnish the company a site for the location of the company's works will be received by the Board at their meeting on Monday, April 4th, 1898, at 2 p.m. The Board reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. All proposals should be addressed to the undersigned, Secretary of said board. HENRY KUCHEL, Secretary. Anaheim, March 29, 1898. M. NEBELUNG (Incumbent) Regular Caucus Nominee for CITY CLERK F. B. MERRITT, Independent Candidate for CITY CLERK. A CREWSOME CARGO. Twenty-five Corpses on the Deck of an Arctic Sealer—Terrible Suffering of Sailors. St. JOHNS, N. F., March 28. The sealing steamer Greenland has sailed into this harbor with a grevsome cargo. Twenty-five corpses were on the deck, and fifty-five men were mooning with terrible suffering in the forecastle from the pain of frost-bitten limbs. The dead bodies were in tiers on the deck of the steamer, disfigured and almost unrecognizable. The effects of the terrible suffering which they had endured presented one of the most horrible sights eyes ever beheld. The Greenland set sail from St. Johns about March 1st on her fateful journey. She was commanded by Capt. George Barbour, and carried a crew of nearly three hundred hunters. The steamer proceeded northward with the rest of the sailing fleet, but after a couple of hours she diverged on a separate track, and reached the hunting grounds not long after. All went well until Tuesday last, and seals were quickly encountered, and several good packs were secured. On Tuesday morning the hunters left the ship about 7 o'clock, as usual, when the lookout in the crow's nest reported ice plentiful around them. The men were clad in light clothing, for the slaughtering of seals is exhausting work. Scattered over the ice field they wandered far from the protection of the ship, and a gale and snowstorm shut them out from view. The ice floe parted and they drifted away from the ship. Ere the storm subsided many of the unfortunate fellows had succumbed to the cold and exposure. Those that had not were terribly frost-bitten and The Opening OF THE Spring Season.

NEW YORK, March 29.—According to the Washington correspondent of The Tribune, naval officers who have with Capt Sigbee since his arrival in this city are more firmly connected than ever that war will inevitably come out of the Cuban situation, and navy departments have made ordinary preparations in the last weeks will not have been for light. As soon as the commander of Maine reported at the navy department he lost no time in explaining to A. Crowninshield, chief of naviga- tion the intolerable attitude of Span- ampathizers in Havana harbor and toward Americans, and particular- enir animosity to American naval wars now at work on the wreck of Maine. Said trouble could not be avoided longer, and when a collision did occur, in his opinion, the local authorities would be powerless to pro- pter the small American colony or the ones ashore. All day long well into the night foul epithets, as to the dead as well as to the war, and taunting threats are shout- tioned upon the vessels around the Bee's wrecking, numerous boats go- and fro in the harbor, and these instructions have been steadily in- ing for the last ten days, espec- iously since the Montgomery eame away, an overt act was liable to occur moment.

It was for the purpose of viewing the mandreling of this gun that the board came to Cleveland. It is expected that this style of gun will be an important factor in coast defense, and the government deemed it best to have skilled officers on the ground while the big gun was being internally forged. General Miles expressed himself as highly pleased with the result of the work. NEW YORK, March 30.—A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Key West says: The Bache brings news from Havana of the finding by one of the American divers of the body of Engineer Merritt. It was jammed between a torpedo tube and some wreckage. The body, which was identified, had not been brought to the surface at the time of the sailing of the Bache. LONDON, March 20.—Ensign Robertson and McMorris, U.S.N., who have been studying naval architecture at Glasgow, and who have recently assisted Lieut. Commander Colwell, United States naval attache, have been recalled by orders from Washington. They sail for the United States Saturday. The United States cruiser San Francisco, which, with the cruiser New Orleans, sailed from the Thames on Sunday last for the United States, is proceeding at a pine-knot speed, owing to a defect in her engines. Agents of the Spanish government kept a watch on the San Francisco and the New Orleans while they were in the Thames. It is reported here that the United States government is again negotiating at Athens for the purchase of three Greek cruisers. NEW YORK, March 29.—A special to the Herald from Washington-says: Havana's quiet is in danger of being disturbed by another outbreak, such as occurred in the Cuban city just before the late second-class battleship Maine dropped anchor in its harbor. Consul-General Lee has cabled to the State Department that the situation is critical, as there is danger of further riots growing out of the intense anti-American feeling among the Weylerites. In the light of General Lee's dispatch, the American authorities are now quite as much concerned about the situation in Havana as they are over the fear that Congress will attempt to force the hands of the President. It is now regarded as one of the danger points of the situation. Noah Palmer and wife, Susan Palmer, to H.Y. Ernst—Lot 50x125 feet in north west corner of Harlin tract, Santa Ana; $600. Mary L.

LONDON, March 28.—The Herald's European edition publishes the following poem from the pen of Alfred Austin, the British poet laureate: What is the voice I hear On the wind of the Western sea? Sentinel, listen from out Cape Clear. And say what the voice may be. Tis a proud, free people calling loud to a people proud and free. And it says to them: Kinsmen, hall! We severed have been too long; Now let us have done with a worn-out tale, The tale of an ancient wrong. And our friendship last long as love doth last and be stronger than death is strong. Answer them, sons of the self-same race, And blood of the self-same clan. Let us speak with each other, face to face, And joyfully love and trust each other as none but free men can. Now fling them out to the breeze. Shamrock, thistle and rose. And the star-spangled Banner unfurl with these. A message to friends and foes. Wherever the sails of peace are seen and wherever the war wind blows. A message to bond and thrall to wake. For wherever we come, we twain. The throne of the tyrant rock and quake. And his menace be void and vain. For you are lords of a strong young land and we are lords of the main. Yes, this is the voice on the bluff March gale: We severed have been too long; But now we have done with a worn-out tale. The tale of an ancient wrong. And our friendship last long as love doth last and be stronger than death is strong. On the morning of Feb. 20, 1895, I was sick with rheumatism, and lay in bed until May 21st, when I got a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The first application of it relieved me almost entirely from the pain and the second afforded complete relief. In a short time I was able to be up and about again.—A. T. MOREAUX, Luverne, Minn.

A Spanish fleet could lie at the distance and shell the town. As Tampa and Port Tampa, there is nothing to prevent any small vessel from coming up the bay and blowing them to pieces. The railroad terminals would, of course, be attacked by the Spanish at the first opportunity. Steps should be taken to protect them, so that ships and supplies can be brought here shipment to Cuba. When asked for my opinion in Washington, I said that 50,000 troops should be sent to Tampa immediately, ships provided to carry them to Cuba. The torpedo flotilla should be stopped by all hazards. A knockout blow should be struck by the United States more Spain gets a chance. We have an enormous coast line to protect, and we would not wait until Spain is ready to attack it. When you want to whip a ship, get in the first blow. Hit him on the point of the chin. That is what we want to do now. I don't believe in deception. I said the morning after the Maineaster that the chances were a million times against it being an accident, and one of the same opinion now, although we have not seen the report of the court inquiry." Beats the Klondike. Mr. A.C. Thomas of Marysville, Tex., found a more valuable discovery than has yet been made in the Klonkiew. For years he suffered untold injury from consumption, accompanied hemorrhages; and was absolutely led by Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. He shares that gold is of little value in comparison with this marvelous cure; would have it, even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle. Asthma, bronchitis all throat and lung affections are actively cured by Dr. King's New Recovery for Consumption. Trial hot-free at P.A. Derge's drug store. Numeral size 50cts, and 81.

Sold by P.A.Derge. W.M. McFadden read a paper on puffy oranges at the Fullerton Farmer's Club last week in which he presented views in line with his recent article printed in this paper. Mr. McFadden is of the opinion that puffy fruit cannot be cured—it is one of those cases where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The prevention is so simple that all growers should know it. He recommends that growers begin to irrigate thoroughly and regularly all through the season, not permitting the ground to become dry enough to cause the leaves to curl. Cultivate once or twice after each irrigation, particularly from October first until the first rains set in. Crops will not ripen up as fast for the Christmas trade, but it will prevent the loss of the greater part of the crop by puffing. For a long time it has been argued that the cause of puffing of oranges was not owing to lack of water, but to the conditions of the soil, that fruit on sandy soil would never puff, and on solid soil the fruit would always puff. To this argument, Mr. McFadden replies that the sandy soil when irrigated absorbs more moisture and retains the moisture better than the solid soil, and to overcome this condition the solid soil must have extra irrigation, which will be an absolute preventive of puffing fruit. He has experimented on this subject for eight years and declares he is right. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
