The Weekly Gazette. 133JED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY..... JULY 14, 1898 A FARMERS INSTITUTE will be held at Fullerton, similar to that held in this city last spring, on Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 3d and 4th. The program contains papers on "Green Manuring," by S. S. Twombly of Fullerton; "Household Economics," by Mrs. W. M. McFadden; "Extermination of Gophers, Squirrels and Linnets," by J. W. Mills of the Pomoha Experiment Station; "Walnut Culture," by L. B. Benchley; "Olives," by Prof. Hayne of Berkeley; "Economy in Ranch and Orchard Management," by J. B. Rea of this city; "Citrus Fruits," by C. C. Chapman of Placentia; "Importance of Form in Cattle," by Prof. Wickson of the University of California; "Poultry on the Ranch," by Mr. Shively of Bolsa; "Irrigation," by A. S. Bradford of Placentia; "Cultivation," by Prof. Loughridge of Berkeley; "Insects," by the ever-popular Prof. Cook of Claremont; "Plant Growth," E. S. Richman of Fullerton; "Fertilizing," by E. K. Benchley; and many other topics of a timely and interesting character. It is to be hoped that a larger attendance will be present than assembled at the institute held at Fullerton two years ago, when a number of valuable papers were read by the farmers of this section, and when the attendance was not as large as could have been desired. Music will be furnished by the Fullerton band, and an intelligent effort will be made to have the institute one of the most successful ever held in Southern California. H. W. CHYNOWETH announces himself this morning as a candidate for reelection as Member of the Assembly, subject to the action of the Republican County Convention. Mr. Chynoweth served one term in the Legislature to the satisfaction of his constituents, among the many bills introduced by him being the one reducing the salaries of county officials of Orange county, the provisions of which will make interesting reading at this time: The cannery directors on Monday accepted a very favorable offer for some 20,000 cans of standard canned goods and 54 tons of dried fruit now in the warehouse at the preserving works. The total number of cans of fruit now stored at the works approaches 40,000 cans, and the capacity has on numerous occasions extended to 8000 cans per day. The normal capacity is 5000 cans per day, but 8000 cans is nearer the average turned out in each day's operations. It is the intention to immediately double the capacity of the cannery by adding a new capping machine and otherwise tending to increase the output, so that the nominal capacity will be 10,000 cans per day. When the peaches ripen sufficiently to be handled at the cannery, it is expected that as high as 15,000 cans per day will be turned out. The cannery has proved itself to be a conspicuous success, and it would not be surprising to see it pay a comfortable dividend the first year of its operation. However, none of the stockholders are looking for such a thing as a dividend. The intended purpose was to provide a market for the hundreds of tons of deciduous fruits that annually went to waste hereabouts; and this has been done. The cannery has revolutionized the deciduous fruit situation. The increased demand for apricots this past month has demonstrated its usefulness to the very fullest extent. It has already fulfilled its mission (besides furnishing employment to nigh on to a hundred employees). Anaheim's Turner Prize. F. W. Fleischman on Tuesday ed a telegram from Fred who was with the Turners at bringing the information that he heim Turners had won the first turning, and that three prizes had been won by Joe Paul Turk. The news put Turners in the best of spirits were the words of praise spoken half of the Anaheim delegates Jose. R. Wisser had previously word from Joe Backs that were feeling fine, despite weather, and that the crowd the exercises cheered them. "Hurrah for the Anaheim boys were all right in the closes, and were keeping w front in the other contests." The following results were Joe Backs, 5 feet; Paul Turk Frank Arnold, 4 feet 7 inches jump, Backs, 18 feet 6 inches 17 feet 4 inches; Arnold, 16 feet Ahlborn's later telegram to indicate that our boys were in the first of the three third class being the highest names of Paul Turk and appearing, the former with 5 making him fourth in a class latter with 51.1 points, tie 18th place with a San Francisco The class contests, consisting jump, high jump, shot pandwax exercises, resulted in geles winning the first prize first group, and Anaheim thirteen second group, as follow Second Group: Anaheim with 7 men entered, made 3 Vorwaerts T. V. of San Francisco, 7 men, made 36 5-7 point T. V., of San Francisco thirteen men made 28.9 points. [Written for THE GAZETTE.] Sounds of the Sun Morning.

CHYNOWETH announces himself this morning as a candidate for re-election as Member of the Assembly, subject to the action of the Republican County Convention. Mr. Chynoweth served one term in the Legislature to the satisfaction of his constituents, among the many bills introduced by him being the one reducing the salaries of county officials of Orange county, the provisions of which will make interesting reading at this time: OFFICIALS. Old Law. New Law. Saving to Tax-payers. County Clerk. $3000. $2560. $440 Sheriff. 4300. 400 County Recorder. 3000. 2500. 500 Auditor. 1500. 1500. 800 Treasurer. 2000. 1900. 800 Tax Collector. 1500. 1500. 1000 Assessor. 2500. 1500. 1000 District Attorney. 2000. 1500. 50° Coroner.

Surveyor's saving estimated at $300. Under the new law the County Clerk receives as his net salary $1300. He is allowed $720 for one office deputy, and $540 for a second deputy, making the amount of expenditures attached to his office, as stated, $2560, a saving of $440 from the present salary. The Assessor, besides his salary as such, collects a large amount in commissions, the figures of which are not at present at hand. The new county salary bill saves to the taxpayers the enormous amount of $4640 per year. It is simply incredible that such a great saving has been made. Mr. Chynoweth deserves well of his party. If nominated, he will make the strongest kind of a run, add strength to the ticket, and be triumphantly elected. Not glory alone accrues to the men of Admiral Sampson's command for the destruction of Cervera's fleet, but a considerable amount of hard cash as well. For every man on the Spanish warships at the time of the attack our sailors receive $100 bounty, in accordance with section 4635 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which says: "A bounty shall be paid by the United States for each person on board any ship or vessel of war belonging to an enemy at the commencement of an engagement which is sunk or otherwise destroyed in such engagement by any ship or vessel belonging to the United States, or which it may be necessary to destroy in consequence of injuries sustained in action, of $100 if the enemy's vessel was of inferior force, and of $200 if of equal or superior force; to be divided among the officers and crew in the same manner as prize money." If there were 170 men on Cervera's ships (which presented a force inferior to the Americans) the bounty will be somewhat more than $170,000, which is divided in the same manner as prize money; 1-20 to the commanding officer of the fleet, 1-50 to the commanding officer of a division of the fleet, 1-100 to the fleet Captain and 1-10 of each vessel's share to the Captain of that vessel, the remainder being apportioned to all other officers and men in proportion to their pay. As the law provides THE Los Angeles Times of Monday prints the following: A report has reached here to the effect that the Bell Rock Oil Company has served notice on the City Trustees of Anaheim calling upon the latter to live up to the contract they made with the company last February, whereby the city agreed to purchase from the Bell Rock company 1000 barrels of oil at 90 cents a barrel. Delivery of 500 barrels was made, when, as alleged, the city refused to receive any more from the company. While no cause for the refusal was given at the time, it is stated that the reason was the Trustees could buy oil at 70 a barrel, and did so, refusing to be governed by the terms of their contract, which called for 90 cents a barrel. There is not a word of truth in this covert attack upon the integrity of the Trustees of this city. The correspondence between the Bell Rock people and this city was set forth at length in our last issue, wherein it was shown that the reason the alleged contract was declared off was because of the failure of the Bell Rock company to furnish a good and sufficient bond to perform their part of the contract, according to the initial agreement entered into between both parties. The Bell Rock people refused to furnish the bond, and the city, in protection of its own interests, set about to procure another contractor to furnish the oil. Oil is now 85 cents, with a strong tendency to rise, so that the insinuation that the city had broken faith with the Bell Rock people because of being able to get oil cheaper, proves on its face to be untrue. A LETTER has been received by Mrs. Chas. S. Rogers from her husband, dated St. Michaels, Alaska, June 18th, from which we have been permitted to make the following extracts: ST. MICHAELS, Alaska, June 18, 1898.-We arrived here in safety on the 15th inst., after a long and very stormy voyage. We are very busy unloading. We encountered immense ice fields after entering Bering Sea, and had a hard time of it. We fought our way through the ice, however, and arrived here two days after the ice had floated out of the bay. Only two boats got in ahead of us—both sailing vessels. One (the Hattie Phillips of San Francisco) arrived the same day the ice went out, and was nearly crushed against the shore ice by coming in soon. The other (the G.W.Watson) arrived only an hour before we did. Two other schooners came in the day.

If there were 1700 men on Cervera's ships (which presented a force inferior to the Americans) the bounty will be somewhat more than $170,000, which is divided in the same manner as prize money; 1-20 to the commanding officer of the fleet, 1-50 to the commanding officer of a division of the fleet, 1-100 to the fleet Captain and 1-10 of each vessel's share to the Captain of that vessel, the remainder being apportioned to all other officers and men in proportion to their pay. As the law provides that all vessels within signal distance of the action and in condition to render aid share in the prize money, it is likely that most of the fleet will profit by the Spanish defeat. In the case of the torpedo boat destroyers Furor and Pluton, which were knocked to pieces by the converted yacht Corsair, the superior force was obviously on the Spanish side; therefore the bounty will be $200 per capita for these on board the destroyers. Probably the complement of the two ships was 135 men, making that bounty $27,000. If it appears that any others of the Spanish vessels were attacked and destroyed by any of our vessels inferior in fighting power, the award in such case will be $200 for each man aboard those destroyed ships also, and it may be that the final bounty will be largely in excess of $170,000. The record of the most remarkable year in our export trade has just been completed by the Bureau of Statistics, so far as relates to the exportation of wheat and corn and other breadstuffs, pork, beef and other provisions, cotton and mineral articles. These articles form a large percentage of the total. The figures show in most cases a large increase in quantity and value of articles exported, though in some cases, notably mineral and cotton, the export price per unit have averaged less this year than in the preceding year. The cotton exported during the year increased from 3,103,574,949 pounds to 3,341,332,800 pounds, while the total value last year was $230,890,971, and for the year just ended $229,907,477. The exportation of minerals increased from 973,557,546 make the following extracts: ST.

We feel good over beating all the steamers so badly, for a steamer can fight the ice much better than can a sailing vessel. No sickness except mal de mer. On the way up seas swept over us and smashed one of our new lifeboats all to pieces, but our insurance will make the loss good. One man was washed overboard, but he happened to have hold of a long rope that was dangling from the shrouds, and was saved. He was first mate of the boat. Weather here is very pleasant, warm and nice, but it is foggy one-third of the time. It is broad daylight all night long. Sun sets now at 10:30 and rises at 1:30. Everything is all right, and we are all feeling good. The remnants of the Mare Island crowd were here when we arrived, but most of them who had been working for the North American Transportation & Trading Co. during the winter left last night for Dawson on the first steamer to go up. I cannot write more now. Please take this letter to Mr. Dickel and the rest of the boys—Goldwater, Hartung, Neblung. I cannot spend too much time writing now. I will write them very soon. Love to father, mother, Nellie and the boys. CHAS.S.ROGERS. St. Catherine's Orphanage. ANAHEIM, July 7, 1898. The following are the orphans admitted into St. Catherine's Orphanage.

Fleischman on Tuesday received a telegram from Fred Ahlborn, who was with the Turners at San Jose, bringing the information that the Anaheim Turners had won the first prize in turning, and that three individual prizes had been won by Joe Backs and Paul Turk. The news put the home Turners in the best of spirits, and many were the words of praise spoken in behalf of the Anaheim delegates at San Jose. R. Wisser had previously received word from Joe Backs that the boys were feeling fine, despite the cool weather, and that the crowd present at the exercises cheered them, shouting "Hurrah for the Anaheim boys!" The boys were all right in the wand exercises, and were keeping well to the front in the other contests. In jumping the following results were attained: Joe Backs, 5 feet; Paul Turk, 5 feet; Frank Arnold, 4 feet 7 inches; broad jump, Backs, 18 feet 6 inches; Turk, 17 feet 4 inches; Arnold, 16 feet 2 inches. Ahlborn's later telegram would seem to indicate that our boys were all right. In the first of the three classes (the third class being the highest) the names of Paul Turk and Joe Backs appear, the former with 57.8 points, making him fourth in a class of 19, the latter with 51.1 points, tieling him for 18th place with a San Francisco turner. The class contests, consisting of broad jump, high jump, shot putting and wand exercises, resulted in Los Angeles winning the first prize in the first group, and Anaheim the first prize in the second group, as follows: Second Group: Anaheim T. V., first, with 7 men entered, made 37 1-3 points Vorwaerts T. V. of San Francisco, second, 7 men, made 36 5-7 points: Mission T. V. of San Francisco third, with 7 men made 28.9 points.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 9 (via Port Antonio, Jamaica, July 9)—Following is the official account of the engagement of the Spanish squadron, as seen from the U.S.S. Vixen: At 9:45 a.m. the quartermaster on duty reported that a tug was coming out of the harbor. Examination proved her to be a Spanish cruiser flying a large Spanish flag, with a smaller flag at the masthead, which was thought to be the admiral's flag, as it was on the leading ship. The Vixen at this time was lying about two miles off shore, and four miles to the westward of the castle, and from this time to the end was never out of sight of the chase, and was within two miles of the destruction of the three armored cruisers. Word was at once sent to the commanding officer, and all hands were called to quarters. All speed was ordered, and the helm was put to port to stand further off shore and leave the Brooklyn's fire unobstructed. The Brooklyn had hoisted the signal that the enemy was attempting to escape, and the Vixen, noticing that the leading ship was turning to the westward, signaled that the enemy was attempting to escape in that direction. The fleet at this time had resumed its station, and the vessels began to turn in rapidly toward the south of the harbor, concentrating a fire at long range upon the enemy. There was no doubt the enemy was coming out. There were several anxious moments before it could be determined whether the Spanish admiral would order his fleet to disperse and attempt to break through the blockading squadron, or would keep his ships together. The leading vessel had changed her course to the west, when a second vessel appeared, followed shortly by the Cristol Colon. She was easily identified as the Colon, because she carries her must between her smokestacks. The other boat could not be so easily identified, as the Vizcaya, the Amirante Oquendo and Infanta Maria Teresa had the same appearance. Meanwhile the fleet approached the mouth of the harbor, and when the fourth vessel appeared, and turned to the west it became evident that Admiral Cervera had reconnoitered the field, and selected the west as the weakest part of the blockade, because the strong eastern current had drifted the heaviest ships to the east of their customary positions. The western portion of the blockade circle was defended by the Vixen and the Brootlyn. The Brooklyn headed north, apparently intending to intercept the head of the enemy's column. As the leading ships of the enemy's column appeared, the western battery opened a heavy fire, Morou instead of making a formal and eloquent address to the line, walked up to the man at the head of it and, taking him warmly by the hand, tenderly kissed the grim sailor on the cheek. When the men saw the action of the Commander they wept as if their hearts would break, and as the captain walked down the line shaking each by the hand and kissing each sun-burned cheek, each man threw his arms around his commander's neck and gave him a most hearty embrace. As Capt. Morou came to the colonel's marine guard,the captain's orderly,in an outburst of grief,sprang from the ranks and threw his arms about the captain's neck like a child. When finally the captain reached the end of the long line he turned and, in a voice shaking with emotion,said a few words of farewell to the crew as a whole. As he finished,the half-clad men surrounded him,grasping his arms and legs and trying for one last embrace. The grassy banks of the rock-bound prison island faces the entrance of the harbor. The island has an area of one hundred acres,and is just across the channel from Fort Constitution.About five acres of this comprise the prison yard ofthe captives.The space will be enclosed by a fence eight feet in height. Outside this fence seven feet from it,a barbed wire fence is to be constructed,b beside which sentries will be placed.At commanding points platforms have been made on which Gatling guns will be mounted thus making an attempt to escape a most hazardous one. In the southwestern end ofthe enclosure and nearthe water,the are newly-erected buildings which are to bethe living quartersofthemen.More are ten of them,长low,and flat-roofed,and if need be,each can shelter 300 men.The buildings are 18x100 feet,and raised fromthe groundand thoroughly ventilated.Besidesthe prisoners' quarters there is a hospital building,a cook-house equipped with twenty-one ranges and all cooking utensils and accommodations forthe guard. How silent everything is! It needs only a breath of wind, half the volume of a sigh, to shake the dew drops from the old pepper tree, but it's so calm they still cling to it. Ah, it's worth getting up at half-past 4 to look at. The great green chandelier with millions of nature's incandescent lamps hanging at the tip of every leaf. But yonder, hovering over the eastern mountains, the gray dawn is getting brighter, and there's the secret of it: you silver rim rising higher while you watch it. Millions of times larger than the earth, how noiselessly the great orb of day climbs the heavens; his rise is not among the sounds of the summer morning. The quick eye of the restless mocking bird has seen it. He leaps exultant from the twig on which he spent the night plotting mischief for the day. Listen! there he's imitating the hen calling her brood to catch the early worm, and anon she shakes out his little soul in song, the pure, sweet, liquid notes ringing through the calm air, the sweetest sound in the summer morning. What a sublime keynote for the day! O my soul, catch its strain and learn its meaning. Hath not God made everything beautiful in its season! A yellow-breasted meadow lark has just lit in the middle of the alfalfa field, and listens respectfully to the mocking bird, and as soon as he has finished begins the only seven notes it knows, and at intervals of a minute pours their forth spasmodically. There is too much of an effort in its singing. All music should be spontaneous. One-meadow lark would spoil a choir of mocking birds. But there is another and a different sound—the first jarring note of the morning. It's the squeal of a poor mouse on which a butterbird has just lit with rasping shriek. Ah! there he is carrying it away—a breakfast, I suppose, for his hungry progeny in the cypress tree. No; yonder they are, bird and mouse on the barb wire fence. Let us watch him: He is actually impaling his victim on a barb of the wire. He's a General Weyler among the feathered tribe in pretty Clair; my impulse is to shoot him, but on reflection he is doing the very thing for which I feed my cats. At any rate he has struck the first discordant note of the morning. I wish the mocking bird would strike up again, but he is such an eccentric little chap and dominated only by his own "sweet will." Whir-r-r! I can hear it, but I cannot see anything; Ah! there it is in the cell of the calla lily, a humming bird; it is emerald livery greener for the dew of the morning. Essence of sweetness! The loveliest thing on wings, its home flower; its drink the dew drop. See how it poises itself in the air to breakfast on the nectar in the lily. Whir-r-r! It's gone! I'll go, too, before some other discordant sounds break in on the summer morning, and I can't help reflecting as I go, that there is a law in nature that cuts all sweet things short. The dew drops vanish on the pepper tree, the songs die in the throat of the bird, and the sweetest sight is the shortest lived. "I knew, I knew, it could not last; Twas bright, twas heavenly, but tis past. Oh, ever thus from childhood's hour I've seen my fondest hopes decay. I never nursed a tree or flower; but twas tis thy joy! I never nursed a dear gazelle To glad me with its soft black eye. But when it came to know me well, And love me, it was sure to die." W.J. THOMPSON. Clair, July 12, 1898. How to Look Good. Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital organs. If the lichen is invasive you have a billion. Meanwhile the fleet approached the mouth of the harbor, and when the fourth vessel appeared, and turned to the west it became evident that Admiral Cervera had reconstituted the field, and selected the west as the weakest part of the blockade, because the strong eastern current had drifted the heaviest ships to the east of their customary positions. The western portion of the blockade circle was defended by Vixen and the Brooklyn. The Brooklyn headed north, apparently intending to intercept the head of the enemy's column. As the leading ships of the enemy's column appeared, the western battery opened a heavy fire, apparently directed at the eastern and central ships of the blockading squadron. At 10 a.m., the Brooklyn was nearest and engaged the two leading ships, which were close together with an interval of three-quarters of a mile between the second ship and the Christobal Colon. At 10:05 o'clock the Brooklyn turned with a helm, making the complete turn to the east so that she was again heading west. The enemy's ships were on her starboard quarter, and the fourth vessel was coming up astern rapidly. At this time the Vixen was west of the leading ship, and was steaming on a parallel course. For the next fifteen minutes the Brooklyn received and returned the fire of the two leading ships and an occasional shot came from the Christobal Colon. At 10:30 o'clock the clause was well-formed, the positions being as follows: The enemy's ships in column between Cabanas and Guayacabon, the Brooklyn steering a parallel course, a mile distant, with the Oregon two miles southwest. The other American vessels were obscured by smoke. At 10:33 o'clock the Iowa and the leading ships of the enemy were close together, just clear of the Brooklyn's bow, as viewed from the Vixen, the Christobal Colon gaining speed and closing up. It was apparent that the leading vessel was disabled and on fire, as she dropped rapidly astern. She apparently headed for the shore off Juan Gonzales. The Oregon, forging ahead rapidly, engaged the fourth ship. As she passed, two smaller Spanish vessels, probably the Furor and Pluton, to the westward of Cabanas, engaged the Iowa and Texas, though apparently on fire. The leading vessels were too far to the west to be identified accurately. The Indiana was in sight, a little to west of the castle. At 10:45 o'clock the Christobal Colon was still gaining, and was reserving her fire. At this moment the only American vessels seen from the Vixen were the Brooklyn, Oregon, Iowa and Texas. The Indiana was four miles astern of the Iowa. EVER POPULAR STORY. How Cervera and His Ships Went Down to Destruction at Santiago. PORTSMOUTH (N.H.), July 11.-The Spanish prisoners who were brought to port in the auxiliary steamer St. Louis from Santiago, numbering 692 of the men who formed part of the crew of Admiral Cervera's squadron, are tonight sleeping peacefully and in comparative comfort in the new barracks erected for them on Seaveye's Island. Around them is a guard of 125 marines. The most interesting part of the landing of the men was the duty performed by Capt. E. Diaz Moron of the Christobal Colon, once hearty and jovial officer, the favorite captain of the Spanish navy, standing on the height of the land near where the men came ashore, clad in a tattered uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers and blue uniform of white duck trousers. WASHINGTON, July 12.-Naval officers consider their part in the operations at Santiago at an end practically, and are looking around for new worlds. They are rushing preparations for the dispatch of Commodore Watson's Eastern squadron. This is decidedly a more attractive cruise, from a naval standpoint, than the demonstration proposed against San Juan de Porto Rico, which is understood to be the next call on the program, but which naval authorities believe will not amount to much, because of easy destruction ofthe defenses.

H.), July 11.—The Spanish prisoners who were brought to port in the auxiliary steamer St. Louis from Santiago, numbering 692 of the men who formed part of the crew of Admiral Cervera's squadron, are tonight sleeping peacefully and in comparative comfort in the new barracks erected for them on Seavey's Island. Around them is a guard of 125 marines. The most interesting part of the landing of the men was the duty performed by Capt. E. Diaz Morou of the Cristobal Colon, the once hearty and jovial officer, the favorite captain of the Spanish navy, standing on the height of the land near where the men came ashore, clad in a tattered uniform of white duck trousers and blue coat, book in hand, the mustering officer of the Spanish prisoners. His heavy voice called out the names of the prisoners and credited each to the vessel to which the individual was once a member. When the muster out, as it seemed to be, was finished, the men were formed in line and marched into the temporary barracks, which will serve as a prison for them. Of the number landed, forty have been taken to the hospital, suffering for the most part from wounds, while not a few are suffering from minor ills. Among the officers there were ten—four lieutenants, three sergeants, two ensigns and one paymaster—and these, through some misunderstanding over orders from Washington, were returned to the St. Louis. It is understood tonight, however, that these same officers will be landed again tomorrow. The line officers will be quartered at the marine barracks. It was an interesting sight to watch the way in which the Spanish prisoners accepted the fortunes of war. After breaking ranks, they looked about, and saw couches and mattresses and many other comforts which had not been their lot for many years in the barracks, and as they looked them over, they appeared to accept the situation with much cheerfulness. They walked briskly around with what appeared to be a dignified air, and appeared to grow happy as appetizing odors were wafted to them from the large kitchen. One of the most touching incidents of the day was the farewell Capt. E. Diaz Morou of the Cristobal Colon took of his crew just before he went back to the St. Louis. Few who saw the tenderness with which he walked down the line and affectionately embraced each seaman as if he were his son could refrain from tears. When the muster had been completed Capt. Morou turned to Col. Forney of the American marine corps and asked permission to say a few parting words to his men. The request was rapidly granted, but Capt. The entire squadron was ordered to devote the fire of their guns to the cruiser Brooklyn, because it was believed that she was the only ship in the American squadron that could overtake us. When we got out of harbor, our ship was second in line, and I saw our flagship was getting a terrible baptism of fire. It was frightful. The Texas and Brooklyn were just riddling her, and in fifteen minutes I saw she was on fire. The Iowa and Oregon were firing on the Oquendo, and as yet I had not been badly hit. "The Brooklyn was half a mile closer to us than any other ship, and I decided to try to ram her so that the Colon and Oquendo could get away, and I started for her. She was a good mark with her big broadside, and as I started I thought surely I would get her, but she had evidently seen us, and very quickly she turned about, and making a short circle, came at our port side, so that I thought she would ram us. I moved in toward shore so that I could avoid her, and then I saw that the Oquendo had gone ashore also, her steampipes evidently severed by a shell. "The maneuvering of the Brooklyn was beautiful. We opened a rapid fire at her with our big guns, but she returned it with terrible effect. The Oregon also hit us several times, but the Brooklyn's broadside crashed in our superstructure and simply terrorized the men. We worked all our guns at her, and I don't see how she escaped us. She simply drove us in shore, at one time fighting at 1100 feet half the men on it and wounding nearly all the rest.

"I did not instruct the men to load the guns, and do not know why they were loaded. We were on fire badly, and when those men who were alive started to swim to shore, the Cubans on shore shot at us until the American ships arrived and stopped them. The Brooklyn had prevented me from getting away for I could have beaten the Oregon out, as I had a 2-mile lead on her. My orders were to try and sink the Brooklyn and I tried to carry them out. I did not think that her battery could be so terrible as it was." Card of Thanks.

MRS. EDGERLY AND FAMILY. ABSENTMINDED MAN. He Moved, but When He Tried to Find His House He Failed. An absent-minded man moved to this city from a neighboring town last week. He and his wife staid at a hotel while they were finding a house, but his business prevented the man from doing his share of the house hunting, and the task fell, as if often does, upon the wife. She at last found a place which suited her and she took her husband to see it. It was satisfactory, and they came down town, he to go back to his business and she to attend to the moving of their goods from the railway car to the house. Her task was soon accomplished, and in a short time she had put away most of the things, settled a bedroom and got the kitchen and dining room in order. By 5:30 in the afternoon she and the new girl had the first dinner in the new flat all ready for the head of the house. In the meantime the absent-minded husband was plodding through the work at his office. About the time that the plates were being put on the table at his home he began to feel the need of food, and he locked up his office and started for the street car. When he reached the street, he suddenly remembered that he had not noticed the address of his new residence. He stood on the corner a long while and tried to think what the name of the street was. He consulted the directory, but none of the street names was familiar—in fact, he had not been in the city long enough to know any of the streets by name except that on which his office was situated and the location of the hotel where he had staid temporarily. He looked aimlessly at the crowded street cars and envied the men and women who knew where their ORANGE COUNTY PRESERVING COMPANY.

The boys of today, with their never ending round of outdoor amusements and sports, are sometimes a sore trial to their long suffering mothers when stormy weather prevents their going outdoors to play. A good way to amuse a boy in these emergencies is to let him make a barometer. This will not only interest him for the time being, but will also prove useful when he is planning his bicycle trip or tramp abroad on a holiday. Let him take a pint of alcohol and put into it a quarter of an ounce each of camphor, saltpeter and ammonia salts. When all is thoroughly dissolved, let it be poured into a rather long bottle, tightly corked and sealed with wax, to exclude all air. Put it outside of the window, on the north side of the house if possible, and teach the young man to look for the signs of change in the weather in the crystallizations which are produced. If the liquid is perfectly clear, fair weather may be looked for. If it is disturbed or cloudy, it is a sign of rain. If downy masses form in the bottom, frost, or at least cooler weather, is to be expected, and if these masses rise toward the top it will get colder still. The formation of little stars in the liquid is a sign of a heavy storm—Froehange. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. For The Week Ending July 11, 1898. Furnished by the Orange County Title Company, Santa Ana.

HE LOOKED AIMlessly AT THE CROWDED STREET CARS AND ENVIRED THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO KNEW WHERE THEIR Homes Were. THE PANGS OF HUNGER WERE INCREASEMENT MOMENTARILY, BUT NO SUGGESTION OF THE LOCALITY OF HIS HOME CAME TO HIM. HIS MIND ON THAT POINT WAS A PERFECT BLANK. HE HAD EVEN Forgotten To Notice In What Style Of Building The Flat Was Situated. Cursing His stupidity, He Made His Way To The Hotel, Ate His Dinner In Disgusted Solitude And Went To Bed. IN THE MEANTIME HIS WIFE WAS NEarly Frantic At His Absence. NIGHT HAVING FALLEN, HE WAS AFraid To Venture Out, AND SHE, TOO, WENT TO BED ALONE AND SPENT A SLEEPLESS NIGHT. IN THE MORNING SHE MADE HER WAY DOWN TOWN, FOUND THE OFFICE AND THREW HERSELF WEeping INTO HER HUSBAND'S ARMS. THAT AFTERNOON THE MAN Bought A Map Of The City AND Marked Accurately Upon It His Place Of Residence, AND THEN HE HAD A HUNDRED CARDS PRINTED Containing His House Address. —Chicago Chronicle.
