The war preparations being made by the United States, and the purchase of cruisers abroad have come to the official attention of the Spanish government, and the views of the Spanish cabinet have been communicated to the state department at Washington, but not as a protest, however. The Spanish government neither claims nor asserts the right to question such measures as the United States might adopt, even though they may be of a character to indicate preparations for war. It merely refers to the serious influence which these preparations will have in encouraging the Cuban insurgents at the moment when the autonomy plan is to have its crucial test, and thus defeat the reforms Premier Sagasta is seeking to carry out. Spain points out that the presence of a large fleet of United States war ships at Key West cannot be regarded as a friendly measure. In short, its presence together with the war measures of the United States, is regarded by Spain as seriously prejudicial to autonomic measures, and an encouragement to the insurgents. Finally, in the same spirit of friendly representation, Spain points out that a war by the United States against Spain under such circumstances would be unjustifiable before the world and a crime against humanity and civilization. The communication did not mention the Maine disaster or redress or indemnity therefor. RAILWAY TIME TABLE. Time of Arrival and Departure of Trains. SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

INGLORIOUS SPAIN. Every European Country that has Fought Her has Thrashed Her—On the Abyss of Bankruptey. The population of Spain is about 18,-000,000, or one-fourth as many as there are in this country. The nominal strength of the Spanish army is 120,000 soldiers, but at the outbreak of the Cuban war she had only 80,000 men. Now she is maintaining an army of about 330,000 at home and abroad. Every Spaniard, beginning with his twentieth year, is required to be enrolled as a soldier for twelve years, only three of which, however, are passed in the active army. By paying $300 a conscript may purchase his release, and from this source alone the government derives a revenue of nearly $3,-000,000 a year, even in time of peace, and now the sum amounts to about $6,-000,000. Military authorities agree that the Spanish soldier, individually, is brave, but the Spanish army is regarded as the most inglorious in all Europe. It has the record for more surrenders and less fighting than any other military body this side of China. Every European nation which has fought the Spaniards has won, and besides Spain has been defeated by Mexico, Ecuador, San Domingo, Bolivia and Colombia and twice by Peru and Chili. In fact she has not prevailed against any white foe in all the course of the nineteenth century, a period which has seen no less than twenty-one revolutions in Spain herself. A fifteenth of the population of Spain are members of the nobility, but 70 percent of the total population cannot either read or write. A million of the people are not Spaniards at all, but are gypsies, and descendants of the ancient Iberians and Moors, who in turn ruled raise a cent on the chance that she would triumph in a war with the United States? And it is money that makes the mare go, and the war horse, too. STARS AND STRIPES ALOFT. Brazilian Warship Amazonas Passes Into Uncle Sam's Control. GRAVESEND, Eng., Mar. 18.—The cruiser Amazonas, built by the Armstrongs for Brazil and purchased by the United States, was formally transferred from the Brazilian flag to the Stars and Stripes shortly after 11 o'clock this morning. The ceremony was simple and dignified and to the Brazilian officers it was somewhat pathetic. Lieutenant-Commander Colwell, United States Naval Attache, accompanied by Ensign Roberts, Assistant Engineer McMorris and Consul-General Osborne, arrived on board shortly before 11 a.m. The chief officers of the Coast Guard and a number of custom officers, all in uniform, were already on board. Lieutenant-Commander Colwell and his party were received at the gangway by Lieutenant Santos and were escorted to the Captain's cabin, where they were received by Commander Corres. In reply to Lieutenant-Commander Colwell's inquiry, Commander Corres said he was ready to transfer the vessel forthwith and Messrs. Colwell, Roberts and McMorris donned their uniforms and proceeded on deck, gathering near the flagstaff from which the green flag of Brazil was flying. Then Lieutenant-Commander Colwell, saluting Commander Corres, said: "Captain, I have here a contract of sale to which you were a witness, whereby this vessel is to be transferred to me in behalf of the United States." Commander Corres replied through an interpreter, saying: "In handing over the ship, I desire to say that it is done with the sincere friendship of Brazil." Lieutenant-Commander Colwell, salutSNAP SHOTS AT THE NEW William Olmstead, an eccentric resident of Niles, Mich., has died leaving all his property, $15,000, to Barnum circus. The next series of Farmers' Institutes will be held at Westminster March 31st. Esccondido April 1st and 2nd; Compton, April 4th and Chicago April 5th. Supervisor H. C. Thompson of River-side county will have to refund to the county $179, which he has overdrawn as mileage. The recent grand jury instituted the district attorney to sue the supervisor, and this was done, the court giving judgment for the county in the sum named. The testimony showed that Thompson charged for forty-nine miles when he could have reached the county seat in forty miles. The case was strenuously fought by Thompson. Richard Stevens, following the example of other prominent members of the New York Yacht Club, has tendered to the government his new stealth yatch Aileen for use as an auxiliary cruiser. Capt. Rogers and his colleagues on the Auxiliary Board now have their work well in hand. Capt. Rogers obtained from Lieut. Commander Kelly early in the week the names of ever available vessel in the harbor, together with descriptions, value, and general availability of the craft. Dr. S. M. Woodbridge, Director of the Agricultural Experiment Section Southern California Academy of Sciences, has been distributing fungus disease of the San Jose scale in portions of San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Orange counties. As yet few calls have been made for this fungal disease, which shows how rare the San Jose scale (Aspidiotus Perniciosus) throughout the southern country. The work of distributing the disease of this black scale is also going on in three counties named, and Dr. Woodbridge says he has more calls for... Every European nation which has fought the Spaniards has won, and besides Spain has been defeated by Mexico, Ecuador, San Domingo, Bolivia and Colombia and twice by Peru and Chili. In fact she has not prevailed against any white foe in all the course of the nineteenth century, a period which has seen no less than twenty-one revolutions in Spain herself. A fifteenth of the population of Spain are members of the nobility, but 70 per cent of the total population cannot either read or write. A million of the people are not Spaniards at all, but are gypsies and descendants of the ancient Iberians and Moors, who in turn ruled the country ages ago. More than 73 per cent of the population live on farms, only 5 per cent are engaged in the main manufactures, and there are but half a dozen places with a population exceeding 100,000. In territorial area Spain is one third smaller than the State of Texas, which she once possessed. Moreover, only 55 per cent of her land is under cultivation. Except along the coast, irrigation is necessary to grow the vines and trees which produce most of her crops. The Spanish farmer as a rule still has only a wooden plow, a pointed stick shod with iron and crossed with another stick, which serves as a share. There are few roads, the back of the mule bearing nearly all the burden of transportation. There are 28,000 miles of steam railway, but few navigable rivers. The country simply has been dry nursed through the centuries by the royal cormorants, who have rioted in the substance of the people, whom they have regarded and treated as savages. If the Spanish people are penniless, the government of Spain is worse off, for it has contrived by devious means to get largely in the debt of the banks of Spain, the money-lenders of London, Paris and Antwerp. The national debt eighteen years ago was two billion and a half. By treading some royal road to bankruptcy and the poor debtors' court, the government sealed this debt down one-half, or to a sum only $300,000,000 more than the debt of our own country. Besides this, the debt of Cuba, which Spain had contracted in her vain endeavor to suppress the ten-years' war in that island between 1868 and 1878, was $170,000,000. The Cuban revenues paid the interest on this latter debt, amounting to $6,000,000 yearly, but Spain always has had to borrow in order to pay the interest charged on her own debt. Since February, 1895, the government at Madrid has sent to Cuba 270,000 troops, and has added to her naval equipment besides. To do these things, fully half a dozen loans have been added to the Cuban debt, until it has reached a total of $600,000,000, while the revenues of the island have been cut in two by the strife there. A popular loan at Madrid brought in less than $3,000,000. Most of the money raised at home has been by forced loans from the Bank of Spain, which, as fast as it gives money to the government, issues paper money to the people until its liabilities and its cash assets are further apart than are those of any other bank in the world. Other loans have been floated in Madrid by pledging the public revenues, which usually aggregate $175,000,000,$50,000,000 of which comes from excises, stamp taxes and certain government monopolies; $50,000,000 from taxes on land and trade; $25,000,000 from taxes on salaries of public officials and from the fees for registration which must be paid by every one who wishes to pass from one place to another, and finally $25,000,000 from customs revenue. The remainder is taken from the colonies as far as possible. Colwell's inquiry, Commander Corres said he was ready to transfer the vessel forthwith and Messrs. Colwell, Roberts and McMorris donned their uniforms and proceeded on deck, gathering near the flagstaff from which the green flag of Brazil was flying. Then Lieutenant-Commander Colwell, saluting Commander Corres, said: "Captain, I have here a contract of sale to which you were a witness, whereby this vessel is to be transferred to me in behalf of the United States." Commander Corres replied through an interpreter, saying: "In handing over the ship, I desire to say that it is done with the sincere friendship of Brazil." Lieutenant-Commander Colwell,salutting replied: "On behalf of the United States, I thank you for the sentiment." A Brazilian sailor then brought down Brazil's blue-starred pennant from the top mast, carrying it in his teeth. In the center of a circle of officers of both nations, Lieut.-Com. Colwell then faced the Brazilian flag, flying from the cruiser's stern, and as the other officers bared their heads, the flag of Brazil was hauled down at 11:10 a.m., after which, facing about with their heads still uncovered, Old Glory was run up on the main. Lieutenant-Commander Colwell and the Brazilian officer then shook hands. Commander Corres invited the party into the cabin to drink to the ship, and the Brazilian captain showed the party over the vessel and furnished them with inventories of the supplies. The Amazonas will remain in charge of Ensign Roberts and Assistant Engineer McMorris until the United States cruiser San Francisco arrives here. Great interest was taken in the ceremony, which is said to be unique in naval history, by which one power transferred a warship to another in the harbor of a third power. Several American flags were hoisted at Gravesend after the Stars and Stripes were unfurled over the Amazonas. The U.S. S. S. San Francisco arrived here at 3:30 p.m., passing the Amazonas. After saluting Tilbury Fort, the band played "The Star Spangled Banner" with the crew standing at attention. Captain Leary said he had a pleasant voyage from Lisbon. Of the sale of the Amazonas he has read in the dispatches and thought at first that war had been declared. BERLIN, March 19.—In spite of denials, the Queen Regent of Spain has repeatedly and strongly appealed to Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria to exert his influence with the monarchs of Europe, particularly Emperor William, to secure their efforts to restore amicable relations between the United States and Spain. The queen laid special stress on the necessity for maintaining peace in Europe and securing an entente of the European monarchs against republican, aggressive America, and on affinity of her dynasty with the Hapsburgs. It is understood that Emperor Francis Joseph while replying to the Queen cautiously and conservatively, has actually written to Emperor William endeavoring to elicit a reply pledging the latter to promise to tender his good services in trying to maintain peace. More recently, Spain approached Germany and Austria with the view of obtaining assurances that they, in the event of war would assist Spain in some way or other. The Spanish Embassador here, Senor Mendez de Vigo, father-in-law of Senor Polo y Bernabe, the Spanish Minister at Washington, had a conference on Wednesday last with the Minister for foreign affairs, Baron von Buß. Colwell's inquiry, Commander Corres said he was ready to transfer the vessel forthwith and Messrs. Colwell, Roberts and McMorris donned their uniforms and proceeded on deck, gathering near the flagstaff from which the green flag of Brazil was flying. Then Lieutenant-Commander Colwell,salutting Commander Corres，said: "Captain I have here a contract of sale to which you were a witness, whereby this vessel is to be transferred to me in behalf of the United States."

It is understood now that everything within reach of the crown has been pawned or sold, and the treasury is largely in arrears to employes. It was publicly confessed last summer that the soldiers had not been paid in full for many months, and El Imparcial, a newspaper in Madrid, stated within a year that of 35,000 soldiers in the hospitals of Cuba, 15,000 were there solely because they had not had enough to eat. In the province of Seville alone the treasury owes $1,600,000 to the public school teachers, and two teachers have been arrested for begging in the streets of Malaga. Two naval vessels ordered by Spain of English ship-builders are lying on the Clyde in default of the cash for their construction, while several other vessels are in Spanish ship yards in an unfinished state, because the government cannot pay for them. Undeniably the Spanish navy, in respect to first-class ships, makes some pretense to comparing with our own, but with an empty treasury and a lack of credit their effectiveness in war is doubtful. The London Statist long ago went on record with the assertion that sooner or later "Spain will have to acknowledge what is simple truth, that she is bankrupt." During the year 1897 Spanish bonds fluctuated on the London stock exchange between 58 and 64. When the Senate a good while ago adopted a resolution in favor of the recognition of Cuban belligerency, Spanish securities fell in Madrid itself 160 centimes, Cuban debentures 770 and the shares of the Bank of Spain fell 500 centimes. Where would they go if actual hostilities should be declared between the two countries? If Spain cannot borrow now on the chance of winning Cuba and has been compelled to mortgage all the resources of her treasury, where could she Hapburgs. It is understood that Emperor Francis Joseph, while replying to the Queen cautiously and conservatively, has actually written to Emperor William endeavoring to elicit a reply pledging the latter to promise to tender his good services in trying to maintain peace. More recently, Spain approached Germany and Austria with the view of obtaining assurances that they, in the event of war, would assist Spain in some way or other. The Spanish Embassador here, Senor Mendez de Vingo, father-in-law of Senor Polo y Bernarbe, the Spanish Minister at Washington, had a conference on Wednesday last with the Minister for foreign affairs. Baron von Bulow, when the latter assured him that while Germany earnestly desired the maintenance of peace, she certainly would not pledge herself to anything but the strictest neutrality. Spain is believed to have received the same answer from Vienna and Paris. St. Helena has again been thrown into a fever of excitement by a murder. hardly less sensational than that of the Clark fratricide. The victim is Miss Victorine Sasselli and her murderer, Julius Bohn, ended his own life a moment after he fired the bullet into the head of the girl. Bohn and Miss Sasselli had for some time been engaged to married, but the family of Miss Sasselli was well-to-do, while Bohn was only a laborer in the employ of S. Sievers & Co., wine merchants. Bohn was anxious to be married at once, but the girl, believing he was yet unable to support her in the style to which she was accustomed, refused to consent to his wish, although being willing to maintain the engagement. One day last week Bohn received $200 from his parents to enable him to marry, and that evening drove out to the Sasselli place. Learning that his fiancee had driven into St. Helena, ten miles distant, with her father, Bohn said he would go to meet them. When near St. Helena he encountered them driving homeward and invited the girl to enter his conveyance. She declined the invitation. She continued her refusal despite much urging until her father joined his entreaty to that of her lover. "It will be all right, Victorine," said her father, and the girl reluctantly made the change. No sooner was Miss Sasselli seated in Bohn's buggy than he urged his horse and was soon out of the sight of Mr. Sasselli. Half an hour later Sasselli found lying in middle of the road the dead body of Julius Bohn. Fearing danger to his daughter, he hurried on, but when he reached home he found Victorine dead with a bullet hole in her temple. The horse had galloped into the yard, dragging the body of the girl, whose dress had caught on the step of the buggy. It is supposed that Bohn renewed his request for an early marriage and that Miss Sasselli again refusing, he shot her first and then himself. Aubrey Beardsley, the well-known artist and writer, died last week at Mentone, France, from hemorrhage; he lungs. Beardsley had been in the last stages of consumption for over six months. He dragged himself from his bed to his easel and worked till he was exhausted, when he was often helped back to bed. Though he made a fortune when at the height of his popularity, he spent it all in trying to regain his health, so that in his last day he attempted to make money to support his mother and sister. To achieve such widespread notoriety before one of age is so unusual in these days, this alone would make Aubrey Beardsley not worthy. But to this must be added ability of extraordinary character and a genius as a draughtsman in black and white. Young Beardsley career in London was as romantic as she the story of any successful man's rise from poverty and obscurity into wealth and fame. He was only 24 at his death but there can be no doubt that he will leave a distinct impression on some of the methods of art in whatever light that impression may be regarded Beardsley's work became known about three years ago when he illustrated Oscar Wilde's "Salome." and for two years he was in big demand even by people who had abused him. Beardsley's pictures made a sensation and became a fad because they were just what the jaded public taste demanded They were spicy, bold and above all amazingly original. Nothing had ever been seen like them in black and white They conveyed the idea of offensive impurity and vet defied the most searching analysis. He spent his youth in extreme poverty and began life at 15 shillings per week as assistant to an architect. Then he took drawing lessons, and suddenly, when only 18 startled London with his grotesque black-and-white sketches. He made the success of "The Yellow Book," and for three years his income was $20,000 a year when the public tired of him and he lost his prestige and health For one year he had been slowly dying. Prof. Dean C. Webster of the University of Michigan, who has visited the Philipine Islands in the interest of science, says that people here are unwilling to believe the things said about the Spanish treatment of the Cubans They seem too abhorrent, but if they could appreciate that the outrages i SHOTS AT THE NEWS From Olmstead, an eccentric resinant of Niles, Mleh., has died, leaving property, $15,000, to Barnum's next series of Farmers' Instititute be held at Westminster Hill.

Woodbridge, Director of Cultural Experiment Section, San California Academy of Scihas been distributing the disease of the San Jose scale of San Bernardino, Los And Orange counties. As yet few have been made for this fungus, which shows how rare the San Lee (Aspidiotus Perniciosus) is out the southern country. The distributing the disease of the scale is also going on in the counties named, and Dr. Wooddays he has more calls for it. Cuba dwarf those of Armenia they would have stopped them long ago. Said he: "For two years and a half I was in close contact with officials of Spain in the Philippine Islands, and witnessed the abuses of the government. Weyler was at the time Governor-General. His salary for the time he was in the islands was $50,000, but it is positively known that he placed $4,500,000 to his credit in the banks of Paris and London at the end of that time. He organized a campaign against the Moros simply because he might become field marshal by commanding a certain number of men, whom he sent into the jungles, where 8 per cent of them died. At the time he was sailing around the coast. The poor natives are taxed by the Spanish for being alive. There are 10,000,000 people on the islands, and they are taxed excessively on everything that the Spanish officials may become rich. The houses of those who failed to pay their taxes were burned, and so times people were tied to trees and tortured for the slightest offense. At Toledo, in Cuba, the authorities charged $50 for burying a corpse without a coffin, and $75 with a coffin." The postoffice appropriation bill, which came up for consideration in the House the other day, contains an item of $150,000 for rural free delivery during the next fiscal year. This is $100,-000 more than the postoffice department had available for the present year. In addition to the first-named amount, the postmaster general may use for the purpose stated a sum equal to the aggregate compensation of postmasters, cost of mail transportation on star route services and mail messenger service that may be discontinued by reason of the establishment of rural free delivery. Experiments that have been conducted already by the department show that the establishment of rural free delivery, in which there is a hearty cooperation of the communities interested, results in the discontinuance of the offices of a number of fourth-class postmasters and of the services of other employees, so there will be a consider- duced Judge Day to refrain from proceeding to an extremity. This impression has been created by the fact that inquiries at the executive mansion resulted in the statement that the President knows nothing of the incident. Baron Hengervar was absent from his residence when called upon by a correspondent, and Judge Day declined to discuss the matter. The little steamer New England has arrived at San Francisco from Boston, bringing particulars of the loss of two ocean steamers in the Straits of Magellan. One of the vessels belonged to the New Zealand shipping company, and was on her way from New York to Valparaiso with a cargo valued at over $2,000,000, and the other belonged to the New York and Pacific Steamship company, and was on her way from New York to Valparaiso with a cargo valued at over $1,000,000. Both steamers were almost new, and probably cost in the neighborhood of $1,-000,000 to build and equip. The New Zealand boat was a total loss, as no attempt could be made at salving the cargo, owing to the native Patagonians who appeared in force whenever anybody attempted to approach the wreck, but in case of the New York vessel a wrecker was at work on her when the New England passed. Both vessels were wrecked within a short distance of one another. E. J. Baird, a Woodland fruit-grower, met with an awful death while employed as engineer of an irrigating plant at John Martin's gardens. While in the act of putting straw into the furnace the engine blew up.

Largest measure of preparation made by the war department to the contingencies of the future probably just been created. It is preparation of a bill providing further sections, for the placing army on a war footing for the length of 104,000 men. The bill can carefully gone over by the department, and will be introduced house by Representative Hull, son of the house committee on affairs, who it is expected, will vigorously, inasmuch as it is registration measure. The basis will be the well-known three man organizations. That is the face status of the army, but promised for the exercise by the fact of full power to increase of the companies from 75 mer. cent strength, to 250 men. In the possibility of a conflict with considerable interest centers in the strength of the military in the United States which would be to be called upon in case of war. The latest report made to by Acting Secretary of War John based on returns received Adjutant General's office for shows that the total organized strength of the United States 22 men, while the number of available for military duty (unable) is 10,301,349.

Great excitement prevails in Costa Rica over a possible war with Nicaragua. Both states are thoroughly prepared for a fight; it is only a question of a few days when something must take place on the Costa Rican frontier, as it is not likely that diplomacy can settle the differences existing. The diet of the greater republic has done nothing so far to indicate that it is exercising any influences over President Zayas to preserve peace. Salvador has practically withdrawn from the other two republics, having declared that it would not take up arms against Costa Rica. The diet sent a note to Costa Rica charging that it helped the last Nicaraguan revolution in every way possible and demanding an apology and the disarming of the revolutionists now on the Costa Rican frontier in ten days. The government assembled the most noted persons of the country in the congress chambers and read the ultimatum to them and asked for their opinions. An interesting and rather exciting session took place, the most prominent men taking part and every one agreed upon the answer to the ultimatum of the diet, refusing to accept its conditions, and declaring the Nicaragua government responsible for what might occur hereafter, citing the arrest and abuses against Consul Pacheco of Costa Rica. Very strong language was used both in the ultimatum and in the answer therefor. Unless something unexpected should turn up, a formal declaration of war may come from Nicaragua at any moment. The Agricultural Department at Washington has just issued a bulletin on the San Jose scale in 1896-97, prepared by Entomologist L. O. Howard. It is of much interest at this time because of recent edict of the German government prohibiting the importation of living plants, fruits, etc., because of the alleged discovery of the scale on pears shipped from California. The present bulletin is supplemental to one on the same subject published in January, 1896, which contained a history of the eastern occurrences of the insect, down to December, 1895. Never, it said, in the history of economic entomology in the United States, has a single species of insect excited so much interest as the San Jose scale. In the light of what we now know, the bulletin says, our actual knowledge of the distribution of the scale in the east in fall of 1895 was comparatively slight. It was then reported as occurring in twenty States, but in comparatively few localities in each, with the single exception of New Jersey. In 1896-97 actual field inspection in Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, Ohio and Georgia and several other States, showed that in these States the insect was nearly as widespread as in New Jersey, while twelve States and the District of Columbia have been added E. J. Baird, a Woodland fruit-grower, met with an awful death while employed as engineer of an irrigating plant at John Martin's gardens. While in the act of putting straw into the furnace the engine blew up. Baird was hurled sixty yards, his clothing almost torn off, his body badly mangled, many bones broken, and the flesh horribly cooked. John Martin had just dumped a load of straw, and was leaning against the wheel of the engine with has back to the boiler. He was knocked down and rolled over half a dozen times before he could get up. His face was bruised, both eyes closed and both arms and back badly burned, but no bones were broken, and he will recover and probably not loose his sight. The head of the engine was blown through the air a distance of 80 yards. The engine and trucks were blown forty feet in opposite direction. Baird leaves a window and child. He lived 500 yards from the scene of the disaster. Mrs. Baird heard the explosion, but did not know what had occurred until informed of the death of the husband. The evening meal was already on the table awaiting her husband's return. Martin's aged mother lives 200 yards away on other side of the creek. She heard the explosion and understood its terrible import. She tried to cross bridge and collapsed. The attention of the officials of the Agricultural department has been called by cattlemen and by an official of State of California, to the condition of the cattle south of the quarantine line, and the latter asked if something could not be done by the department in modifying the quarantine so as to prevent their starvation. An official of the department said: "The cattle referred to can be sent to any place south of the quarantine line or can be shipped into the northern part of California, if the State officials will guarantee that they will be properly quarantined. For that matter they also can be sent into Nevada if the State officials there will undertake work of quarantining them. The quarantine line as it now exists was made January 15,and south of it infection exists.To permitthe transit ofthe animals above this line would be to endangerthe cattle industry inthe remainderoftheState,andbesides,在anyotherStatetowhichthey mightbe transported.OuradvicesarethatrecentlytherehavebeengoodrainsinthatpartoftheStateouthofthelineandthegrisisgrowingnicely，whichgivessustenanceforshecattle.Theschemelooksto melikea speculativeoneandthatannumberofcattlemenareanxioustodisposeoftheirstock."

In 1896-97 actual field inspection in Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, Ohio and Georgia and several other States, showed that in these States the insect was nearly as widespread as in New Jersey, while twelve States and the District of Columbia have been added to the number containing infested points. The conditions in over thirty States and territories are then given, including that of California, which is as follows: In this State, the insect is, or has been, generally distributed. The conditions of climate sometimes kill it out and it often seems to be destroyed by a fungous disease, but neglected and improperly sprayed orchards exhibit trees in as bad a condition as can be found in any of the orchards of Maryland or New Jersey. The story is circulated at Washington that Herr von Hengervar, the minister of Austro-Hungary, is in more imminent danger of being given his passports than was Senor de Lome in the most critical period of his recent diplomatic trouble. The Austrian minister has recently had several conferences with Assistant Secretary Day in regard to payment of indemnity for the Hungarians killed by Sheriff Martin in the labor disturbances at Lattimer. During the last of these conferences, it is said, the Cuban question came up casually, and the minister took occasion to remark that he supposed, after the American and Spanish boards of inquiry had submitted their reports the whole matter would be submitted to an international board of inquiry. Judge Day is represented as having given a negative reply. To this the minister is said to have excitedly replied that such was the usual method of procedure, and that the nations of Europe would expect that a sister power would be accorded that courtesy. Judge Day is asserted to have responded that the United States would determine the question of Spanish responsibility for the loss of the Maine in her own way and without reference to what the nations of Europe might expect or consider proper. This is said to have so angered the Austrian minister that he forgot his diplomatic training and used extremely violent language to Judge Day. If the scene took place as described, it is said no other course would be open to the President than to give the Austrian minister his passports. It is inferred by those who are responsible for the story that the matter was subsequently adjusted by the minister making an apology, which in- Charles Sexton and Paul Higgins lost their lives in an accident at Carpenteria, Santa Barbara county, while at work in a blacksmith shop, repairing a small gasoline engine. Needing a small piece of pipe, they took at haphazard from the floor a pipe about five feet long. As it was too long for the purpose, Sexton and Higgins prepared to cut it in two. Sexton took the cutter and Higgins a sledge hammer, and the latter struck the pipe a hard blow. A loud explosion followed, felling both men and demolishing the building. Citizens rushed to the scene at once, only to find Higgins dead, he having been killed instantly, and Sexton outside the building, whither he had crawled, with both feet crushed and the fingers torn from both his hands. Sexton was calling pitiously for his mother. He lived for a half hour after the accident. Higgins' head was crushed in, and Sexton died from internal injuries. Higgins was 30 years of age, and leaves a widow and two children. He was a son of a prominent citizen of Carpenteria. Chas. Sexton was 27 years of age, single and a son of Joseph Sexton, who is extensively engaged in propagating flowers. On an investigation by the Coroner's jury it has been ascertained that the pipe that caused the disaster was loaded with dynamite. P.C. Higgins, father of one of the men who was killed, two years ago had a well digger employed to sink wells. He used pipes loaded with dynamite to loosen the sod. It appears that the well digger returned the unused material to Higgins' blacksmith shop, the dynamite pipe being among the lot. This pipe has been on the Higgins premises for all of two years.
