Florence Blythe Hinckley has presented a claim against San Diego county for $10,330, and has asked the Supervisors to pay it. In the seventies, during the life of the Swamp Reclamation Act, Thomas Blythe reclaimed several thousand acres of bottom land along the Colorado river in San Diego county. The law required that 20 percent of the value of the land be paid into the county treasury, as an evidence of good faith, to be returned when the land was reclaimed and a patent issued. Blythe paid $10,330 into the county treasury, and complied with all the conditions finally getting his patent to the land, but the deposit was never returned, and was finally eaten up by the county for contingent expenses. Now it is discovered that the county owes the Blythe estate this money. But the taxes have not been paid on the land for the past five years, and there is due the county $15,000. There is little hope expressed, however, that the county will be able to offset the taxes against the old claim. Supervisor Jasper who is well posted in the matter said he regarded the claim as valid. and a most undesirable legacy from the past, but which nevertheless has to be paid. The land in question is now a part of Riverside county. The whole matter has been referred to the District Attorney for investigation. Orange Trees for Sale.

Milling Out Gold at the Rate of 300,000 Ounces per Month. John B. Rogers, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Rogers of this city, who is now in Johannesburg, South Africa, writes a letter home under date of Feb. 27th, from which we have been permitted to take the following extracts: I arrived in Cape Town the morning of the 22nd, and stopped there until the 25th. Reached Johannesburg at noon to-day, fifty-one hours by train from Cape Town, 1014 miles. It was so hot and dusty while I was in Cape Town that I did not get out much to look around. I came up here alone. Hall being detained on business at Cape Colony. The trip overland is not very interesting; for the most part through a broken and barren country, something like the plains of Wyoming. The Orange Free State is not so bad. It is fairly good grazing land, is not so broken, and in some parts the agricultural development is quite marked. We passed numerous Kaffir settlements, coal blacks, with little or no clothing, some absolutely nude. We crossed the Vaal River at 9 this morning, and entered the S. A. R. (Transvaal). Had to clear through the custom house, and it was a little the worst experience of the kind I have yet had. They made us open and unpack every blame thing, and as I had eleven pieces of luggage, Hall's and my own, it was no easy task. My first impressions of Johannesburg are away ahead of my expectations. The city, for it is a city of about 50,000, is well laid out and has very good streets, the widest I have seen since leaving America. The store and office buildings are good, substantial, and in many cases very handsome structures. The altitude is nearly 6000 feet above the sea level. The surrounding country READY FOR WAR. Ships Cleared for Action, and the Government at Washington Alert. WASHINGTON, April 11.—The die is cast. This nation is ready for war. Hostilities are expected to break out this week. The president is prepared. So is congress. The friction between the executive and the legislative branches of the government has disappeared. There is a complete unanimity. The president is prepared to receive instructions from congress. He expects a declaration of war, and to be directed to execute the hostile proclamation. The committees on foreign affairs of the house and senate are practically agreed on the character of their report to their respective houses. Their resolutions will embody the president's ideas. They will not declare for the recognition of Cuban independence, but will direct the executive to intervene and employ the land and sea forces of the nation to drive Spain from the island. A compromise has been reached between the Foraker and Frye resolutions. Parts of each will be used. Foraker's independence clause will be omitted. The clause in Frye's giving the president discretionary power to begin hostilities will also be dropped. The resolutions reported will contain no equivocations. They will direct the executive to bring an end to the Cuban war with our military and navy forces. The president knows this. He has agreed to it. He is ready for it. He has not been forced to this position. He has been approaching it gradually and at his own leisure. Congress has tried to hurry him, but he would not be hurried. He has made that body wait until he was ready. He has tried to maintain peace with honor to the nation, and has exhausted every resource at his command. He has done what many another man in his place could not have accomplished. He holdt that naval officers did not want to purchase the Albany because she was uncompleted, but Brazil declined to sell the New Orleans without the Albany and as the New Orleans was ready and needed both ships were taken. The American flag was promptly raised on the Albany to avoid any international entanglement, but it is fully recognized here that her services cannot be utilized if war occurs before she leaves England, for the English could not complete her afterward, to observe neutrality, nor would it be considered safe to start her unarmored and alone across the ocean: At the Navy Department it is said that the statement that the United States signed contracts for three Italian torpedo boats is not true, for, much as the United States would like to have the vessels, the impossibility of getting them to the United States is fully recognized. The names Yankee, Dixie, Prairie and Yosemite were to-day selected as the naval designations for the four Morgan-line Auxiliary cruisers El Sol, El Norte, El Sud and El Rio. KEY WEST, April 8.—The S. S. Detroit steamed out for patrol duty with deck rails swung down, netting spread to catch splinters, and everything bare for action. The precautions in watching the incoming vessels were doubled. Men stood at magazine posts, ready in a moment to pass shell to be used on friend or foe alike that failed satisfactorily to disclose their identity. The Puritan passed the Detroit as she proceeded to her station at the Havana entrance to the harbor. The usual courtesies were exchanged. There was not a naval officer but breathed easier when the monitor joined her smaller sisters, the Terror and the Amphitrite. A lieutenant on board a larger ship, as he looked through his glass at these formidable craft, said: "Those three floating forts could by themselves whip the whole Spanish Navy." We crossed the Vaal River at 9 this morning, and entered the S. A. R. (Transvaal). Had to clear through the custom house, and it was a little the worst experience of the kind I have yet had. They made us open and unpack every blame thing, and as I had eleven pieces of luggage, Hall's and my own, it was no easy task. My first impressions of Johannesburg are away ahead of my expectations. The city, for it is a city of about 50,000, is well laid out and has very good streets, the widest I have seen since leaving America. The store and office buildings are good, substantial, and in many cases very handsome structures. The altitude is nearly 6000 feet above the sea level. The surrounding country is a heavy rolling plain with some large hills and deep ravines. This is the rainy season here and everything looks fresh and green, and I think I shall like it here. Hall will be up in two or three days, and I will get down to work in earnest. I will get out to-morrow and look up lodgings where I can settle down and be comfortable. The town is said to be very dull at present. The unsettled political condition of the country affects the mining interest seriously. Johannesburg is milling out gold at the rate of over 300,000 ounces per month. The mining development is something wonderful. There is nothing like it elsewhere in the world. GRAB A GUN!

The first step toward drawing up a new county liquor ordinance to replace that now in force, which Judge Shaw has held to be void, was taken by the supervisors in appointing a committee of two to draft a new liquor law. The ordinance now in effect was passed some years ago, the objectionable feature which marked the point of Judge Shaw's decision being that the supervisors reserved the right to exercise their discretion in refusing or granting a saloon license, without reference to the petitions circulated for or against saloons. It was this discretionary right that was taken advantage of in denying the application of Ramon Arce for a license to conduct a saloon at Capis-trano. The board investigated the president discretionary power to begin hostilities will also be dropped. The resolutions reported will contain no equivocations. They will direct the executive to bring an end to the Cuban war with our military and navy forces. The president knows this. He has agreed to it. He is ready for it.

He has made that body wait until he was ready. He has tried to maintain peace with honor to the nation, and has exhausted every resource at his command. He has done what many another man in his place could not have accomplished. He held the greatest deliberative body in the land in check for weeks; he has not permitted their clamor for hasty and injudicious action to upset him; he has stood immovable in the torrent of unfriendly criticism; he has not heeded the cries of jingoes; he has braved the vicious abuse of demagogues. The President he originally outlined for himself to employ all honorable means to avert war, and when they became exhausted, to meet the inevitable with courage and resignation. The nation has said its last word for peace. Word comes from Madrid that the government has spoken. Neither will concede anything; neither will recede from its position. There is nothing more to expect from Spain. This nation has nothing more to say; no other suggestion for peace. There is nothing to expect but war. Gen. Woodford is prepared to leave the Madrid court. Gen. Lee has left Havana and has gone to Washington. When he left the island his departure marked the beginning of the end. Sealed orders have been sent to the squadrons at Key West and Hampton Roads. Orders have been transmitted to the Pacific squadron at Hongkong. The flying squadron at the roads will perhaps move on Porto Rico and intercept Spain's torpedo flotilla if it sails from the Cape Verde Islands in this direction. The squadron may even go to the Canary Islands, and carry the war into the enemy's water. The North Atlantic squadron at Key West will move on Havana. The Pacific squadron will bombard the capital of the Philippines. The battleships, cruisers, gunboats and other war vessels are tugging at their cables. Their commanders are eager for the fray. The army is rapidly being mobilized near the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Western troops are on the move, and coming this way. NEW YORK, April 9.-Practically war between the United States and Spain has been declared, notwithstanding the optimistic shading given to the dispatches both at Washington and Madrid. That is war, is declared so far as the executive branch of this government can proclaim the fact, for the reason that at the Cabinet meetings at Washington to-day it was decided Gen. Woodford should be ordered home at once. It is expected that he will leave Madrid within twenty-four hours. The Spanish Cabinet, according to a Madrid special to the Journal, were to give an answer before midnight to Woodford's former note. The Spanish government realizes the hopelessness of a protracted war. Her plan seems to be to fight one naval battle and to sink or capture a few American merchantmen and possibly bombard some weak American fort; then, having satisfied her people that national honor is vindicated, to yield up Cuba. Her naval preparations show that she is preparing for a quick dash and nothing more, with the torpedo flotilla at Cape Verde Islands, a squadron of three large ships will be president discretionary power to begin hostilities will also be dropped. The resolutions reported will contain no equivocations. They will direct the executive to bring an end to the Cuban war with our military and navy forces. The president knows this.

The ordinance now in effect was passed some years ago, the objectionable feature which marked the point of Judge Shaw's decision being that the supervisors reserved the right to exercise their discretion in refusing or granting a saloon license, without reference to the petitions circulated for or against saloons. It was this discretionary right that was taken advantage of in denying the application of Ramon Arce for a license to conduct a saloon at Capistrano. The board investigated the matter and decided that the best interests of the town and county did not require another saloon at that place, and the application was denied. Arce took the matter into the courts on a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the supervisors to issue a license to him. This case Judge Shaw decided some days ago, holding that the ordinance was void in reserving to the supervisors the right to use its discretion in determining whether or not a license should be issued. In drawing up a new ordinance the board will endeavor to follow as closely as possible the lines of the old ordinance which was generally regarded as a good one. The high license feature will be retained. How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrch that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrch Cure. F.J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, O.

A Good Dictionary for Two Cents. A dictionary containing the definitions of 10,000 of the most useful and important words in the English language, is published by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. While it contains some advertising, it is a complete dictionary, concise and correct. In compiling this book care has been taken to omit none of those common words whose spelling or exact use occasions at times a momentary difficulty, even to well educated people. The main aim has been to give as much useful information as possible in a limited space. With this in view, where noun, adjective and verb are all obviously connected in meaning, usually one only has been inserted. The volume will thus be found to contain the meaning of very many more words than professes to explain. To those who already have a dictionary, this book will commend itself because it is compact, light and convenient; to those who have no dictionary whatever, it will be invaluable. One may be secured by writing to the above concern, mentioning this paper, and enclosing a two-cent stamp. The Spanish government realizes the hopelessness of a protracted war. Her plan seems to be to fight one naval battle and to sink or capture a few American merchantmen and possibly bombard some weak American fort; then, having satisfied her people that national honor is vindicated, to yield up Cuba. Her naval preparations show that she is preparing for a quick dash and nothing more, with the torpedo flotilla at Cape Verde Islands, a squadron of three large ships will be organized at Cadiz and sent over to destroy the American fleet and ravish our coast. At a Cabinet meeting at Madrid last night, when the Pope's message was read for ending the hostilities in Cuba, it was heard in silence and the Nuncio was coldly told to give the Pope the Cabinet's thanks for advice. It was not an official communication and could not be treated as such. His message had come too late, as the final answer of Spain had been given to the United States. Gathering his purple robes about him the Nuncio bowed and withdrew. All was over as far as the Pope is concerned. No matter what may be cabled from Madrid to the contrary, Spain will never recede from the position till her flag goes down. It is learned via Bayonne, France, that the representatives of the five European powers who presented a note to Spain Thursday informed that government that if she made such concession to the United States as they believed necessary, the powers of Europe would guarantee Spain against war, both external and internal. NEW YORK. April 8.-The Navy Department has learned officially that Spain has bought the Guiseppe Garibaldi, from Italy for future delivery, after the United States had refused to take the vessel. The Varez No. 3, which also been offered to the United States, has been sold to the Argentine Republic. No other vessel will be completed for four or five months, and by that time the United States does not expect to need second-hand ships of that character. It was for this reason that Comodore Brownson, after inspecting the two vessels in the Italian dock yard, was recalled to this country, it being evident that in case of war neither of the vessels could be brought to the United States if it were possible, indeed, to complete them in Italy or get them out of neutral waters after a declaration of hostilities. Commander Brownson also had the satisfaction of knowing before he left Italy that Spain was made to pay dearly for the ships, for his visit advanced her price to $4,000,000, although the vessel had at one time been offered for two thirds the amount. The United States concluded it would not need a ship the last of August, or even a month circumstances. While Madrid may not be able to entertain the idea, the representatives of Spanish authority in Cuba see how immensely better it would be for the peninsula to concede independence through mediation. WASHINGTON. April 8.-It was learned to-night that the Spanish fleet of battleships and armored cruisers, with the second portion of the torpedo flotilla, sailed from Cadiz this morning to join the first part of the flotilla at Cape Verde Islands Both the Vizeaya and Quandoft start east to meet them. The War Department to-day decided to issue orders Sunday night mobilizing all regulars in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. As soon as Congress passes the intervention resolution, requests will be sent to the Governors of all States in those valleys to designate certain regiments of the organized National Guard to follow the regulars. The troops will be concentrated at Chickamauga, Atlanta and Washington. No quotas will be called out, as in the civil war, but the Governors will designate about half the guard forces of each State to proceed to the front under their own officers and ensigns. The idea is to have the regulars moving while the President's message is being read and debated, and the State troops follow as soon as the debate is finished. It is probable Gen. Schofoid will be named to command the entire State forces. The Coast States will not be called yet, though they may be needed at home to do service. KEY WEST. April 8-A diver of Newport died a horrible death at the bottom of the sea-to-day. The victim, Oscar Johnson, chief gunner's mate of the Newport, was sent down shortly before noon and was suffocated by a closed valve in his helmet before the men at the pumps realized his danger. Johnson was a resident of Brooklyn, N.Y., and was thirty-one years of age. While clearing the decks for action yesterday the davits were put in the small boats, and during the heavy sea last night the small boat was capsized and the davits lost. Divers were ordered down after them. They complained of the heavy sea and said the life lines could not be handled. Notwithstanding this, Oscar Johnson was sent down to save the property. Johnson reached the bottom of the sea and signaled, but no more signals could be detected on account of the veering of the lines. The diver was pulled to the surface and found to be unconscious. Every effort was made to resuscitate him but without avail. He was evidently suffocated by having too much air as he had accidentally closed the exhaust valve on the helmet. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS After a trial of the rabbit bounty law a little over a month the board of supervisors of Riverside repealed the law and the county will not pay any more money for the topknots of the festive jack. The supervisors passed the bounty ordinance to stand for a period of two months originally, but the board is in possession of indisputable evidence that rabbits were being killed in surrounding counties and shipped into the county and the bounty collected on them. To just what extent this fraud was carried is not known. The steamer Al-Ki from Skaguay arrived at Seattle on Friday, bringing the story of a slide which occurred on Chilcoot Pass Sunday afternoon, April 3, in which 50 victims perished. Thirty one bodies have been recovered. An avalanche of snow and ice swept down the mountain side, moved from its resting-place by warm Chinook winds that blew from the sea. The story reached Skaguay from Dyca Sunday evening, the details having been telephoned. It is confirmed by half a dozen correspondents, and by the officers of the Al-Ki. The accident happened between the Stone House and the scales, while the pass was thronged with miners. Just how many met their deaths will probably not be known for some days. The last telephone message from Skaguay before the Al-Ki left fixes the dead at between forty and fifty. An action on appeal from Justice Pierce's court of this city has been filed in the Superior Court, wherein J. W. Stanselle seeks to recover from Rosina Steley the sum of $216 and interest at the rate of 7 per cent from August 24, 1896. This sum is alleged to be due on the payment of a bill of exchange which was given to Stanselle August 12, 1896, at El Paso, Texas. The bill of exchange was drawn upon George Russell of Berlington New Jersey for nearly have brought more than $350. The proceeds were paid to the treasurer of the Cuban relief fund without any deductions for expenses, as all expenses for handling and selling the fruit were contributed by those who did the work. Orders have been issued for the immediate completion of the work on the protected cruiser Chicago, now building at League Island Navy yard. Several hundred machinists will be kept at work on the cruiser until she is ready to go into commission. The Chicago will be one of the most powerful vessels of her class in the world. She will carry four eight-inch and fourteen five-inch rifles and a large secondary battery. She will have a speed of nineteen knots and a crew of more than 450 men. It is said at the navy yard that the vessel will be ready in about two months. Orders were also received for the enlistment of a crew for the Saturn. The Italian cruiser Amerigo Vespucel is anchored in the Potomac, a few miles down the river below Washington. She is a cadet school ship, and is understood to be on a practice cruise. She draws about 17 feet of water. There was considerable gossip in naval and military circles regarding the visit of this foreign vessel to the capital city at this critical juncture. There was unconfirmed gossip that the presence of the vessel at this time was for the purpose of using her as an asylum for the Spanish minister and his staff in case it was found impracticable for them to leave the country by the ordinary means of travel. Senor Polo, the Spanish minister, when his attention was called to the rumor that the Vespucel might be here to take him away from the country, characterized it as absurd and without basis of fact. Miguel Linares of Los Angeles, aged sixty-five years, has commenced suit for $20,000 against Mrs. Mercedes Dessand, nee Valdez, aged seventy-four, of the the precautions in watching incoming vessels were relied on stood at magazine posts, moment to pass shell to be or foe alike that failed to disclose their identity.

An action on appeal from Justice Pierce's court of this city has been filed in the Superior Court, wherein J. W. Stanselle seeks to recover from Rosina Steley the sum of $216 and interest at the rate of 7 per cent from August 24, 1896. This sum is alleged to be due on the payment of a bill of exchange which was given to Stanselle August 12, 1896, at El Paso, Texas. The bill of exchange was drawn upon George Russell of Berlington, New Jersey, for the sum of $360 in Mexican money or its equivalent in United States money ($216). It is alleged in the complaint that the bill was presented to Russell, upon whom it was drawn, but he did not accept it and refused payment. The holder, Stanselle, consequently brought suit to compel the giver of the note to make good the amount which the bill called for. The case was tried before Justice Pierce and judgment rendered for the defendant, with $15 10 as costs. The plaintiff appeals from this judgment. The pattern storehouse of the Southern Pacific company at Sacramento, a large three-story building on I street, between Front and Second, was entirely gutted by fire Friday night. The loss is practically incalculable, being estimated anywhere from $200,000 to $1,000,000. All of the patterns used in the railroad shops since they were first built, except those being used in the foundries at the present time, went up in the flames, and to duplicate any article of moulding now in use necessitate the making of new patterns from the drawings on file in the office of the master pattern-maker. There were at least 40,000 patterns in the buildings, and all were consumed. While the origin of the fire is not known with certainty, it is believed to have started from the heating pipes which ran through the building. It is estimated that it would take twenty men twenty-five years to duplicate the patterns destroyed. It is probable that the loss of the patterns will cause a big lay-off in the shops, as moulders cannot work until patterns have been made. Daniel B. Gray, an ex-member of the Soldiers' Home, was fatally shot at Santa Monica Wednesday night, April 6, by Joseph Bachar in the latter's saloon on Ocean avenue. According to Bachar's statement, against which there appears to be no contradictory evidence, the shooting was done in self-defense. Gray was seen on the street Wednesday afternoon, evidently the worse for liquor. He entered Bachar's place late in the evening, where he seems to have provoked the trouble which resulted in his death. One bullet lodged in his left arm, the other entered the right breast near the nipple, penetrating the lung, and lodged somewhere within. Soon after Gray was wounded he was removed to the new receiving hospital, of which he was the first occupant. Drs. Place and Nutting attended him. He died at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The remains were taken to Guidinger's undertaking rooms, where an inquest was conducted by the coroner. On account of dishonorable, quarrelsome and disorderly conduct, Gray was discharged from the Soldiers' Home several months ago. In the army he was a private in Co. H., Thirteenth Massachusetts Infantry. He was 64 years of age. Bacher was arrested on a warrant charging him with assault with a deadly weapon. The defendant was released on $100 bail. Upon the announcement Miguel Linares of Los Angeles, aged sixty-five years, has commenced suit for $20,000 against Mrs. Mercedes Dessand,nee Valdez, aged seventy-four, of the same city, for alleged breach of promise.The complainant states that the defendant promised to marry him,and that at the last moment,when the wedding guests were assembled,she "refused him.in a rude and insolent manner and ordered him and the invited guests to leave immediately." Mrs.Dessand is well-known,and is reputed to be worth $100,000.In her answer she states that she assented to his proposal while her mind and heart were halting as to the propriety of such a marriage.as the plaintiff's wife had been dead but a few weeks,but that he pressed his suit with such earnest protestations of love and such a profusion of tears and lamentations as to force her to consent despite her earlier judgment.On her marriage day she alleges his manner became so cold that she decided it was her money he was after.Réalizing this her love became totally blighted and destroyed.

The carload of California oranges which was contributed by the Chamber of Commerce of Riverside, and sent to New York to be sold for the benefit of the Cuban relief fund, was auctioned off on Thursday morning. E. L. Goodsell did the selling. Two hundred and twenty-three boxes of oranges were displayed before the sale, surmounted with Cuban flags, and the auction-room was decorated for the occasion with Cuban flags and the Stars and Stripes.

After she left home, a half-grown girl, she engaged as dishwasher in the Russell House.
