Two Charges Hade. There are two distinct charges made by the Grand Jury against Mr. Dalton, though both of them grow out of the per sonal property roll matter. The Indict ment is upon the charge that Mr. Dalton destroyed one of the assessment books of the county*In order to protect himself from the liability for uncollected taxes. The accusation upon which his removal from office is asked is that Mr. Dalton did not perform his duty as Assessor and enter upon the personal property roll the names of all of those In the county who possessed personal property and collect taxes thereon. The Jaw requires the". County Assessor to collect the personal propejty taxes of th© county, and In order to. force the col lection of these ;taxes' a' penalty was im posed, making the Assessor and his bondsmen responsible for > all the uncol lected taxes upon personah property. It is charged that In order to shield himself from this liability that - the County As sessor destroyed the memorandum books In which his deputies made' the 'original assessment of the - personal property -\ of the county, and it is specifically- charged that he destroyed one book entitled the "Oakland : City Assessment: Roll of Per sonal Property for the Year, 1339." The accusation is based upon another al leged effort to avoid this liability for the uncollected personal property taxes. It is charged that the Assessor did not enter on the "' personal property, roll of :. the ; county the names of those who became delinquent upon their personal property" tax and that this v.-as done to avoid the liability under this law.* * District Attorney Allen's Statsrnent. District Attorney Allen, who drew the documents and who will have to prosecute them in the name of the county, said to night: "Both of the proceedings hinge upon the law in regard to the collection of personal property taxes. This law contains a strict provision intended to, force the collection of these, taxes,' and the actions depend upon the constitutionality of this law. The personal property roll of the county 13 practically made up from the stubs of the receipts for personal property taxes. As a matter of protection the Assessor doe3 not enter upon the personal property roll ihe names of those who do not pay their personal property taxes, even though they may have been assessed. The indictment is based upon the destruction of a per sonal property book that was supposed to contain the names of those owning per sonal property on which taxes had not been paid. Everything depends upon the legality of the clause Inflicting a penalty upon the Assessor for non-collection." The Indictment. The essential charges In the indictment are: ¦ _v That certain assessments of cer tain personal property in Alameda County, at 12 o'clock meridian of the fir&t Monday- of March. A D 1SS:>, made and entered by said deputy assessors In said memo randa booli as aforesaid and coRled into said book so entitled "Oakland Assessment Roll of' Personal Prop erty for 1K»" as aforesaid, con tained in said book so entitled, were not copied into said assess ment book of personal property of Alameda County, delivered to said clerk of the Board of: Supervisors as aforesaid, and no other record of said certain assessments than was'contained In said book that was entitled "Oakland City Assess ment Roll for 1S03" was preserved by said assessor. That during all the times herein mentioned raid book was the prop erty of the said County of Ala meda. and during Said time became an official record of the Assessor's office of the said County of Ala meda. - That on or about the day of - February. 1900. at the said County Following Is the personnel of the Alameda County Grand Jury whose indictment and accusation of Assessor Henry P.

HOAG HUGO ABRAHAMSON OAKLAND, June ».— The long expect ed and much discussed repcrt of the 'Alameda' County' Grand Jury was handed to Judge Greene of the Superior Court this morning, but was not made public until afternoon. In order that the District Attorney might be given timi* to prepare a warrant upon the Indictment found and to prepare the accusation against Assessor Dalton so that It could be served. The Grand Jury had been called to meet at 10 o'clock this morning, but. though the Jury was ready to report last Tues day, It found that there was still . an hour's business to be done, and District Attorney Allen was closeted with the Jurors for that time. It was approaching the noon hour when the jury finally filed Into the box and Foreman T. L. Barker arose and presented three paper?, two to Judge Greene and one to District Attor ney Allen. One of the' documents handed to the Judge was the formal report of the Grand Jury, and the other was evidently an in dictment, but those present in the court room missed the value of the third paper and supposed that.lt was merely a copy of the report until District Attorney Allen, late in the afternoon, announced that he had served upon County Assessor Dalton an accusation by the Grand Jury and a suit to remove him from office. It was this latter, act "that surprised everybody, .for while the Indictment was generally expected, that; the Grand ' Jury should go still further and order "suit to Grand Jury Presenting 1 Its, Report to Judge Greene. •"^rOTTN'TT Assessor Henry P. Dilton was indicted by the Grand Jury of Alameda County yesterday for the destruction of one of the prrsonal property rolls of his olHce in order to avoid ths liability imposed ty law for failure to collect all personal property taxes. The Grand Jury at the same time presented an accusation against County Ass:ssor Dalton, ordering the District Attorney to bring suit against hin to oust him from of5cs for failure to prop;rly prepare the personal property rolls of the county and. to prop erly collect the psrsonal property taxes. Mr. Dalton no^v has ono civil suit against him to recover the fees received by him for preparing the assessment roll of the City cf Oakland, a suit has been ordered instituted against him by the Board of Supervisors for the commissions upon the poll taxes withheld from ths county, and now is to bs addsd a suit to rrincve him from offica and an indictment for destroying public records. Mr. Dalton makes indigncnt denial of any criminal actions, announces his intention of forcing all of these suits to an early issue, and charges that every one of thess is a political move intended to in jure him. Perhaps not the least incident in a day of sensations is the charg3 that is mad? to-night by Mr. Dal ton's organ that Superior Judg2 W. E.

June 7. — Anxiety respecting events in the Far East is greater to-day than yesterday. Over and over again I heard the opinion expressed that nothing can prevent wnr between Japan and Russia. In diplomatic circles nothing else is taiked about. There now exists an ex dteinent among diplomats such as has not besn kno"sra for years and which, has entirely eclipsed all attention hitherto given to Ts-ar in South Africa. A visit to the city revealed an increase in anxiety. There exists in financial circles all the preliminaries of a panic, which sentiment has affected all markets and quite neutralized the anticipated effect of the good news frcm South Africa. It only needs little, if anything- can bs judged from to-day's ap pearance, for a very serious break in prices to take place.

June 7. — President Kruger and bis gov ernment are still at Machadodorp, \rhere it is statsd a stand will be made with probably twenty to twsnty-five thousand men. In view cf the present circumstances it is not probable that the defeated Boers will re tain means or courage to move their army north, although the more des pcrcte wish to do so.

June S. 3 a. m.— Th? execu * tlve offices of the Transvaal Gov ernment are in a railway car. J which is shunted on a switch at Machadodorp station. President Kruprer caused the interior of the coach to tw? reconstructed some time ago with a view tn contingencies that have now arrived. The correspondent of the Daily Express who went from Lourenzo Mar <iue3 to pee President Kruger was received yesterday. The President sat smoking a long pipe. He looked worried, but his bearing was quiet and determined. He did not make the least objection to being in terviewed. The correspondent wa3 equipped for the interview by cables from London, " "Yes." said President Kruger, "it is quite true that the British have occupied Pretoria. This, however, does not end the war. Th« burghers are fully determined to fight to the last. They will never sur render so long as 500 armed men remain in the country. I feel deeply encouraged by the fine work Stpyn and De Wet are tioin:? in the Free State." The correspondent, suggested that the war was over, inasmuch as the capital had been taken. Where the Capital Is. "The capital!" explained Mr. Kruger with energy, "what is a capital? It does not consist of any particular collection of bricks and mortar. The capital cf the re public, the soar of government, !s here In this car. Th*?re fs- no - magic- about any special site. Our country is invaded, it is true, but it is not conquered. The Gov ernment is still effective." Referring to the reasons why he left Pretoria. Mr. Kruger said: "I was not foolish enough to be taken prisoner. 'I provided thi3 means of loco motion precisely for the same reason as our burghers supply themselves with horses when they take the fleM. It U necessary that I should be aW? to move quickly from place to place. That is all. By and by this car will take me back to Pretoria. For the present it enables me to keep av.ay from Pretoria, where 1 coul'J be of no service and where I should only piay into the aands of the enemy." "They "say. Mr. Kru?er," remarked the correspondent, "that you have brought with vou gold to the value of ii2.00O.WJO?" "It is not true/' replied the President. "Whatever monetary lesources 1 may havc with me are simply those which we require for state purposes. At the same time I am not going ta tell you wftere our treasure is. Let Rpberts tind It II he Kruger Will Not Flee. "They also say in London. Mr. Kruger. that you contemplate taking refuge on a Dutch man-of-war at Lourenzo Marques." "That is again a lie," retorted the Presi dent with vehemence. "1 know of no such. Dutch war vessel. I am not contem plating refuge anywhere. I shall not leave my country. There will be no need of my doing anything cf the kind." The correspondent said, "Then. sir. there Is much surprise at your having left Mrs. Kruger behind." President Kruper replied: "But why? Mrs. Kruger is quite safe in Pretoria. She would oniy be put to personal inconven ience here. All communication between us Is stopped, of course, but she will await my return with calmness and courage. She is a brave woman. I am here awaiting further information. We are surrounded by faithful burghers nnd are quite safe." Secretary of State Reitz remarked: "You may depend upon it that the war Is not yet over. Guerrilla warfare will con tinue over an enormous area. We intend to flght to the bitter end and shall prob ably retire upon Lyndenburg. where we can hold out for many months." "Yes," observed Air. Kruger, "It 13 only row that the real struggle has begun. I fear that there will still be much blood shed, but the fault is that of the British Government." Then raising his voice to an almost pas sionate height Mr. Kruger exclaimed: "The time has passed for U3 to talk. We have done plenty of that, but it has done us no good. The only thing left for us to do Is to keep en fighting, to keep on fight ing." The correspondent who secured the in terview telegraphed It direct from Machaddodorp station yesterday, when the wires were working as usual to Lou renzo Marques. The Daily Express in commenting upon the Interview refers to the "unabated de fiance of the chief of the Transvaalers." Nine hundred British prisoners arrived Tuesday at Nooitgedacht.
