Sept. 10. — Considerable progress has
been made by Major General Otis upon
the plan of campaign he will inaugu
rate immediately upon the beginning of
the dry season.

SUGAR BEET MAY BE
GROWN IN MARIN COUNTY
Successful Experiments Made by
Farmers in the Vicinity of
Tomales.
TOMALES. Sept. 10.— The success the
i farmers of this section "i" Marin County
have met with in the experimental cul
ture of sugar beets has been so pro
nounced that many have concluded to
cultivate the beets on a large scale, and
it is prophesied that within a short
period Marin County will number sugar
beets among Its most valuable products.
There are at least 10,000 acre? of land
along the line of the North Pacific Coast
Railroad especially adapted to sugar beet
culture, which to-day would bring hardly
fc'ij an acre as an investment, but if plant
ed in sugar eta would bring forth that
sum in rental. : **-:'' i*
J^ast week K. Y. Kaaf. outside superin
tendent of the California and Hawaiian
Sugar Refining Company, paid this place a
visit for the purpose of inspecting the
b<>et fields He visited the ranches of
Messrs. Partori. irbank. Bailey, Bas
s.-tt Hubbell; Wood worth and Nolan, and
pronounced the beets growing thereon in-
U nor to none he had ien in the course
of his lor.g experience in beet culture. In
his opinion the tonnage of the Melds he
Inspected would be about 22V4 to the acre.
He stated that the land at Point Reyes,
Millerton and Marshalla would grow beets
high in purity and rich in sugar. This
opinion irom an expert has made the
farmers Jubilant, and J. W. Keys, the
nio?t ardent advocate of the industry,
wl>o induced the farmers to make the ex
jio!im<-nt and himself Bet the example, is
i being congratulated on all sides.
In order to show the growers the best
way of cultivating the beets the company
represented by Mr. Raaf has decided to
rent three hundred acres of land near
this town and plant thorn in beets. Next
year it Is expected that fully a thousand
acres will be' under cultivation.
The narrow gauge railway officials
have done everything in their power to
foster the growing Industry and will give
a rate of ", ■ nts per ton to San Quentin,
with a probability of a reduction as the
t-nfflo Increases. From San Quentin the
beets! will be shipped to the factory at
Crockett on Largos. It is expected that
about ten carloads ■...•ill be shipped during
the present month.
The presideni of the beet company has
Informed Attorney Keys that if the farm
ers will guarantee to plant 8000 acres in
beets a factory will be erected here. This
amount of land can be easily procured
throughout the Valley Ford, Bloomfleld
and Two Rock valleys. ?

stood to be the intention of the admin
tration to enforce a strict blockade of
Filipino ports. This action has been
considered upon th<? recommendation
of Rear Admiral Watson, who has
called attention to the amount of sup
plies which the Insurgents have been
receiving. No instructions have as yet
been sent to him to enforce a block
ade but his vessels are stationed at
various purls for the purpose of pre
venting any military supplies from
reaching Ag-uinaUio. The blockade
! which will be enforced will be munici
! pal in character, so as to prevent any
! foreign nation seizing upon the block
| ade if it were formally declared, as a
: protest for the recognition of the Fili-
I pinos as belligerents.
General Haywood, commandant or
the Marine Corps, said to-day that he
expects there will be more than TOO
men under Colonel Pope's command
within the next few months. There
have been consultations between Rear
Admiral Watson and General Otis re
specting operations to be conducted by
the marines, and it is understood that
they will bo given the province of
Cavite in which to operate. Cavite Is
the hotbed of the insurrection, and the
work of the marines will have to be
supplemented by the army, but the use
\>i ('"lonel Pope's command will enable
the concentration of practically the en
tire military force in subjugating
Aguinaldo.
It is apparent from the plan of cam
paign prepared by General Otis that
his duty will be more of a supervisory
j and supplying character than anything
: else. He will remain in Manila, send
ing supplies and troops to the front and
keeping the two divisions in the best
possible condition, but the military op
i erations themselves will be directed by
■ the division commanders. Of course
General Otis will be charged with the
responsibility, but it is evident that the
administration is quite satisfied to trust
the conduct of field operations to Gen
eralß Mac Arthur and Lawton.

Lowe says Mcl'onald himself will come

ing deal for which he is now arranging
the preliminaries. Mr. Chisholm came

Donald, back to Dawson from Vancouver.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1899.
NATIVES SPEND A QUIET
SUNDAY AT SANTA CRUZ
A Baseball Game in Which the Home Team Was Badly Beaten
the Chief Feature of Amusement for
the Day.
SOME SCENES AT SANTA CRUZ.
SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 10.— The Na- I
tives have spent to-day in leav
ing town and looking forward to
to-morrow. Forty carloads of J
them have pulled out since mid- :
night last night, and more will leave j
before morning. San Jose, Oakland j
and Alameda were the deserters. San !
Francisco is still numerously here and
will stay until after the clambake and
water carnival to-morrow.
The guests were left largely to their !
own devices to-day, as the citizens |
have been resting from yesterday and i
making ready for to-morrow. The sole j
amusement offered by the city was a
ball game and a concert on the beach, j
Fully 5000 people divided themselves
between the two attractions. The
beach was crowded from early morn
ing, and the city band, stationed on
the veranda of the Neptune bath
house, ground out music and held the
audience throughout the day. On the
other side of the track Santa Cruz
wont up against Cal Ewing's Oakland
dudes in a baseball game, and Santa
Cruz is sorry it spoke.
The Athens crowd took everything

save the grounds. For once the rooters
were on the visitors' end of it. Oak
land turned out fully a thousand of
them, and their vociferous rooting, to
gether with a score of 19 to 3, did not
put the locals in a happy frame of
mind. The townspeople took their
drubbing good-naturedly, though, and
to-night the local team is out showing
the Dudes that the knowledge of base
ball they may lack is more than made
up in their proficiency in the art of for
getting a defeat.
The Daughters entertained all day.
From early in the morning until the
last train left the different parlors kept
dropping in to either say good-by or
announcing their intention of staying
over for the fetes to-morrow.
Ralph Miller, who la acting as clam
bake editor, was busy all day playing
the hose on the 50,000 his Japanese
divers gathered for him at Monterey
two days ago. To-morrow after the
fire has gone out these bivalves will be
as fresh and palatable as anything an
able-bodied native ever went up
against.
Precita Parlor of San Francisco got
at them to-day. The entire dele
gation was led. and the results will
have to be looked for at the other end
of the line, as the parlor's representa
tives took the train home as soon as
they had finished the feed.
The big: dam, which is just now work
ing overtime in making a big and beau
tiful lake of the San Ixtrenzo River,
broke down a night or so ago, and the
committee that has charge of the car
nival arrangements has been com
placently dumping several hundred dol
lars more into it in order that there
may be enough water to float the gor
geous barges that are being made
ready for to-morrow night's carnival.
There is now no possible chance of an
other disaster of that sort. The dam
has been mended so that it will stand
until the strain of the winter freshet
comes, and there is nearly enough
water in the lagunita to float the
lowa.
That particular stretch of the San
Lorenzo Resembles Market street on the
night of the illumination. Incandes
cent lights of every hue are strung
across it and hung in graceful festoons
along the banks. The barge which has
been prepared for Miss May Baldwin,
the Queen, and her maids of honor, is
an electrical marvel. Nearly a hun
dred boats have been decorated and
made ready for tl.e big water pageant,
and hundreds of dollars' worth of fire
works are ready to be touched off.

"lark" was worth. Defendant paid the
amount and brought the matter to an
end.

THREE MASKED MEN HOLD
UP AN EXPRESS TRAIN
Robbers Blow Open the Safe at an
Arizona Station and Take to
the Hills With Their Booty.
PHOENIX. Ariz.. Sept. 10. — The
Southern Pacific west-bound express
was held up at 12 o'clock last night
as the train stopped at Cochise, a small
station eleven miles west of Willcox.
There were three masked robbers in
the gang. Deputy United States Mar
shal J. P. Welles was a passenger on
the train, and he at o*nce telegraphed
to "Willcox and organized a posse,
which is now in pursuit of the rob
bers.
Mr. George Brown arrived in Phoe
nix this morning and told the story
of the hold-up. He said that it was
the cleanest robbery ever known by
the railroad men. As the train stopped
at Cochise, Messenger Adair, who was
the same messenger held up on the
Southern Pacific a few months ago
when he shot one of the robbers,
opened the door of the express car,
when one of the robbers shoved a six
shooter into his face and demanded
him to come out of the car. Another
robber held up the engineer and fire
man, and a third man took care of the
conductor of the train. It was all
done so quietly that the passengers
did not know what occasioned the de
lay at the station. The express car
was cut from the balance of the train
and the engineer was ordered to pull
the car down the track a mile and a
half. There the robbers placed two
sticks of dynamite upon the safe and
touched them off. The explosion burst
the safe to pieces and tore a hole in
the expreses car. After the bandits
had gathered up the money sacks they

JAMES BIDDLE EUSTIS
Services Will Be Held in Newport and

Louisville.
NEWPORT, R. 1., Sept. 10.— The funeral
of James B. Eustis, former United States
Embassador to France, will take place
Monday evening from the home of the
deceased In Eustis avenue. A short
Episcopal service will be conducted by
Rev. Henry Morgan Stone, rector of the
Trinity Church, and then the body will

to Louisville. Ky.. where it will be buried
beside the remains of Mrs. Eustis. The
body will be accompanied by James B.
Eustis Jr., a son, and William Eustis,
a nephew. Brief committal services will
be held at Louisville.
There were many callers at the Eustis
cottage to-day offering condolence and
leaving flor.il tributes.
Mr. Eustis' review of the Dreyfus case,
with which he had been occupied during
the summer, had been so far completed
that it needed only the concluding chap
ter, and that chapter would have been
finished in the reconviction of Dreyfus
Saturday. Mr. Eustis did not live to
write it.

( that a large sum was secured.
The robbers had horses waiting for
j them, and they rode off toward the
i Chirichaua Mountains, where Black

j years. The posse got the trail of the
I robbers, and Deputy Marshal "Welles

be at least $10,000. The passengers
were not disturbed at all. They hardly
knew what was going on. The train
j was delayed but little over an hour.
After the robbers disappeared the en
i glneer ran back to the station, and the

he sat upon the track and chatted
; with one of the robbers as the other
i man was blowing up the safe in the
i express car. The robbers left several
sacks of silver, taking only the gold
and greenbacks.
Cochise is located on the plains be
j tween mountain ranges, and is the
j station where supplies for the Pierce
mine are left by the railroad. Several
hold-ups have occurred there before,
but the one last night was one of the
most successful ever known in the
Southwest.
