PATRIOTISM AND FERVOR
SPANISH-AMERICAN CITIZENS
HAVE A MASS MEETING
Their Love Is for the Stars and Stripes
and They Will Fight Spain for
Country and Home
Between 1200 and 1000 people gathered last
night at the Plaza, ln front of the National
hotel, where a stand had been built, to
hear a number of Spanish-Americans ex
press their views on the Cuban question
and their sentiments of loyalty to the
United States. The Mexican Philharmonic
band rendered patriotic selections between
tho speeches.
President Homulo Pico stated the object
of the meeting nnd introduced the orators
of the evening.
A. A. Mohtano was tho first speaker.
He addressed tho meeting in Spanish. He
said that there should be no hesitation on
the part of tho descendants of Mexican
parents in the event of war with Spain.
They were all citizens of this great re
public, although of Spanish blood, but
none of them had ever been subjects of
that nation across tho water. In case of
war with Spain it would bo tho duty of
his hearers to defend their country—the
United States—against the aggressions of
the onemy.
W. J. Hunsaker said that the meeting
had been called for two purposes, first,
to express sympathy with Cuba, and the
other to demonstrate that such descend
ants of Spain who are native born citizens
of this section were ready to defend the
Hag of this country. We all prayed, he
stated, that war might not come, but if
an insult should have to bo avenged by
war and blood, then this country was
fully prepared for It. If It should come to
a point that w*r must be proclaimed the
people should know that the Spanish-
American citizens of this country, and
especially of this section, were ready lo
give their services to the nation as they
had done It during tho war of secession.
If war was declared It would not be thirty
days before the American troops would
hold Mono castle and American bands
play "Yankee Doodle" on the streets of
Havana. Ho reviewed the barbarities that
had been committed by tho Spanish on
tho Island and said that it looked as If
tho Cubans would achieve their Independ
ence before the close of the year.
R. F. Dominguez told the meeting that
they had congregated to demonstrate their
patriotism and to show that they were
prepared to defend their flag and their
country—the subllmest and most powerful
one ln the world—to defend It against Spain
or any other nation. It might be, he said,
that they were of Latin descent, but what
had that to do with it, when one has to
light for his country? The speaker felt
that at such a time men should shed their
blood for their liberty nnd be ready in the
supreme hour to defend tho country at the
cost of oceans of blood. Those present
were Americans and would defend the
Stars and Stripes. Viva los Estados
Unldos.
We are here, said Frank Dominguez, to
protest against the barbarous, cruel and
uncivilized warfare waged by tyrannical
Spain to suppress the revolution ln Cuba
and its demand for self-government. Spain
has defied us. This great commonwealth
of 70,000,00) brave American freemen shall
not cower under the threat of a degenerate
race. I believe the time Is now opportune
for our country to take a decided stand
on the question of belligerency and face
the Issue whether or not Cuba shall so be
recognized. Let us demand of our govern
ment the Immediate recognition of Cuba.
Then shall the Monroe doctrine have be
come an accomplished reality and Euro
pean tyranny shall have been forever ban
ished from the confines of tbe new world.
J. Castillo, a native of Cuba but an
American citizen, who truthfully dis
claimed being an orator, made up for other
deficiencies by his patriotic utterances.
He told a ptrsonal story of oppression
by the Spaniards in his native isle until
they forced him to emigrate. Mr. Castillo
was very entertaining, however, and kept
the meeting In the best of humor. He
hoped that the blowing up of the battle
ship Maine would be avenged.
Rafael Sepulveda was the last speaker
of the evening. His discourse was ln
Spanish and he referred with enthusiasm
to the heroic conduct of Guadalupe Hidal
go and other patriots who had wrested
from Spain the independence of Mexico.
At present the Cubans were attempting
to gain their liberty. It should not be be
lieved that because Spanish blood coursed
ln the veins of Spanish-Americans that
they were traitors to their country. He
reviewed what Spain had done for its
American colonies and deduced therefrom
thut It had blessed them with nothing
that was worth having. It was the duty
of all American citizens, no matter from
whom descended, to defend Its institutions
and shed their blood for their country If
they were called upon so to do.
The following resolutions were, adopted:
Whereas, The Cuban patriots are fight
ing to achieve independence, their efforts
deserve the sympathy of all nations and
of all people who love liberty; and
Whereas, Our nation ls on the eve of
hostilities with Spain, be It
Resolved, By the Spanish-American peo
ple of the city of Los Angeles in mass
meeting assembled, that we extend our
sympathy to the Cubans and will give our
life, fortune and sacred honor for the de
fense of our flag, and we commend the
skill and patriotism of our patriotic pres
ident.
FIRED THE STORE
But Failed to Crack Montague & Co.'s
Safe
The fire at the stove store ot
W. W. Montague & Co. at 122
North Los Angeles street, early
yesterday morning appears to have been
caused by a pair of bungling robebrs, dur
ing an attempt to crack the safe. It was
Impossible to make any thorough Investi
gation at the time of the fire, owing to the
clouds of smoke ln the store, so the cause
of tho blaze was not ascertained. Later
in the day an Investigation disclosed the
fact that a hole had been drilled in the
safe door close to the combination and a
charge of powder inserted. A fuse had
been set on fire, but went out apparently
before it reached the powder, so the safe
was not entered. A can of powder was
found in the corner of the room and several
drills were on the floor. It ls claimed that
either a spark from the fuse ignited some
papers or else one of the men held a candle
too close to the books while his partner
was working with the drill. On the other
hand, tho books where the fire was burning
were some distance above the safe, and
that the flames could have reached that far
seems peculiar. It might have been that
the burglars, angry over their failure to
get any booty, set fire to the place and then
escaped through the rear window through
which they had trained an entrance. The
LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, f8?8
detectives think it was the work of nov
ices.
A Hint From the Klondike
Joseph Ladue, the famous trapper and
miner and the present owner of Dawson
City, and for many years the agent of
the Alaska Commercial company, gives a
hint to persons going to Alaska, and pays
a great compliment to a well-known
article. He writes:
"I have always used the Royal Baking
Powder in Alaska and Northwest terri
tory, as no other gave equal satisfaction
In that harsh climate. I also found my
customers always insisted on having that
brand."
WILL NOT ESCAPE EASILY
METCALF TO BE CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT TO MURDER
His Victim Still Too 111 to Appear in
Court—A Plea of Guilty to a
Charge of Battery
Henry 11. Metcaif pleaded guilty to the
cbargo of battery before Justice Owens
yesterday afternoon, but It ls likely that F.
J. Day, the victim of his attack last Mon
day, will not allow htm to escape so easily.
Metcaif will probably be prosecuted on a
charge of assault to commit murder as
soon as Day has recovered sufficiently to
be present ln court.
The case was originally called Tuesday,
but the defendant was not in court, so it
was continued until yesterday for pleading.
Mr. Metcaif waa represented by E. H.
Lammu and Judge J. Brosseau, while W.
R. Bacon was retained to aid Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Chambers in the prosecu
tion. The regular grist of petty offenders
was first disposed of, before the case
against Metcaif was called.
From the animated discussion that bad
previously taken place between Metcaif
and his attorneys the impression was cre
ated that while they desired him to plead
guilty, be favored fighting the case. In
any event, Judge Lamme announced to the
court that his client desired to enter a
plea of guilty. The lawyer then proceeded
to make a brief and rather reckless speech
In which he said that while Metcaif had
committed a battery upon Day, there had
been great provocation. In fact so griev
ously had Day maligned Metcaif that the
attorney believed a person would under
similar circumstances have been right In
committing murder, If murder could ever
be called Justifiable. Judge Lumme thought
that Metcaif had shown great moderation
ln merely smashing Day across the face
with a heavy cane from behind his back.
The prisoner was ready to receive sen
tence, but to this Mr. Bacon entered an ob
jection. His client, Mr. Day, had been too
ill to attend court, and until he could, Mr.
Bacon did not wish the case to be so sum
marily settled. Mr. Bacon wanted the
court to hear some of the evidence, and
Justice Owens also expressed a desire to
know how the affair had occurred. Mr. Ba
con added that In all probability when the
injured Day had recovered sufficiently to
be present in court the present complaint
chnrging battery would probably be dis
missed and a new one for assault to com
mit murder substituted. But the attorneys
of the defendant insisted that sentence be
passed at once on the battery charge, but
to this tbe prosecution objected, as did
Justice Owens, and finally the matter was
settled by continuing the case for sentence
until tomorrow afternoon at 2 oclock,
when more evidence will be heard.
CHARTER REVISION
Special Meeting of Council to Meet a
Committee
This morning at 10 oclock the city council
will hold a special session to meet a com
mittee from the mass meeting held last
Thursday night to take the Initiatory steps
for charter revision. The committee, con
sisting of H. W. O'Melveny, F. G. Gibson,
W. J. Hunsaker.John F. Humphries and C.
C. Wright, will this morning memorallzo
the council to call a special election for
the purpose of choosing fifteen freeholders,
in whose hands the drafting of a new
charter shall be placed.
Should the council take the desired ac
tion, at the meeting of the general com
mittee to be held this evening the fifteen
freeholders to be voted for will be nom
inated, one from each of the political
parties and business and commercial or
ganizations represented, and four at large.
That the council will act favorably on the
petition is certain, and, the preliminaries
disposed of, tho business of compiling a
new charter for the city will go forward
vigorously to a finish.
President Daniels of the board of trade
yesterday announced the name of John S.
Thayer as the board's nominee for free
holder, with L. J. Mathews as alternate.
These are the first nominations announced.
CAPTAIN CLARK ARRIVES
On His Way North to Take Command
of the Oregcm
Capt. Charles E. Clark of the United
States navy arrived In the city yesterday
from the east. He has been in command
of the fighting machine Monadnoek, and
was on bis way to San Francisco to take
command of the Oregon, which he will sail
through the Straits of Magellan to join

Captain Clark was in the same class at
Annapolis, over thirty j-ears ago, with Mr.

was met by him at the depot. The captain
declined to discuss the Spanish situation

tionally fine record as an officer and will
give a good account of the Oregon If ho
should take her into action.

ROBBING THEIR BROTHER
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST THE
KEITH BROTHERS
Arrested by the Detectives Yesterday
and Will Be Sent to Portland
to Answer
Two men, charged with having robbed
their brother of v sum of money, ware
arrested yesterday aft'rnoon by Detec
tives Steele and Goodman. Tho men are
named E. M. and O. K. Keith, and their
crime la alleged to have licin committed
in Portland, Ore., on the fith Of last month.
The forme r brother resided ln this city
last year, but returned to Portland. The
third brother is a man of BOine means in
that place, and the two men arrested yes
terday decided, It is alleged, to profit at
bis expense. They are alleged to have
burglarised the Keith house and secured
nearly $100 In cash. Then they left the
north and came to Los Angeles a few days
ago.
B. M. Keith knew a number of people,
so had no trouble ln remaining under cover
as long as he wished. They decided tJ go
Into the saloon business and purchased
the Mace's place, at 110 North Alameda
street. Last Monday Keith appeared be
fore the police commission regarding the
transfer ot tbe license, and he was asked
about his occupation for the past few
years. After some hesitation Keith Is re
ported to have replied that he had been
working for an electric company in Ore
gon. Tn any event, the brothers have been
managing tho saloon since then nnd the
detectives have been searching over Lot
Angeles for them. Knowing that one of
the Keiths had formerly lived here, Chief
of Police Harry of Portland warned Chief
(Mass to have 1113 men keep a sharp look
out for tho brothers and also sent a tele
graphic order for their arrest Tuesday.
Goodman and Steele worked hard Tues
day night trying to locate them, and yes
terday afternoon nabbed them ln the sa
loon. One was working behind the bar
and tho other sitting at a table when the
officers requested them to go to the police
station, nothing being said at thut time
of the nature of the officers' errand. Tbe
Keiths were searched at the station and
locked up and Chief Barry was notliled.
