Los Angeles and Cypress Sts. BREWERY r Beer THE TRABUCO MESA. The Wheat Crop. Between the foot of St. James' mountain, commonly called Saddleback, and Capistrano stretches the O'Neill ranch, which is all in Orange county, and forms part of a cluster of a dozen old Spanish grants, extending from the St. James mountain to the sea near Ocean-side, in San Diego county, controlled by the Flood and O'Brien combination. There are about 22,000 acres in the O'Neill ranch. Of these 2300 constitute a mesa, used for grain. The whole mesa is about 2600 acres, whereof 2300 are on the O'Neill ranch. The balance of the ranch is leased for $7000 per year to Messrs. Salaberri and Dominguez of Capistrano who pasture thereon about 20,000 sheep and are entitled to the stubble on the mesa, from harvesting till the first rain in the season, and to all the straw from the grain, above what the grower thereof may need for his stock. At this moment, however, the sheep have all been shipped to Arizona for pasture. The 2300-acre mesa formerly was leased with the balance and also was a sheep pasture. But in the fall of 1893, while still in a raw condition, it was leased to Mr. D. Kohlmeier for a grainrent of one-fourth in the sack. The soil is a gravelly loam, which holds moisture better than more sandy land or adobe. The elevation above the sea level is about 1200 feet. The soil is very deep. The land slopes gently and slightly undulates. The form is that of a truncated triangle. The foot of the St. James mountain is near the east half of the north line, divided therefrom by the Trabuco canyon. This line constitutes the base of the triangle. The whole mesa is surrounded by double and triple ranges of hills. As is known the rainfall is heavier in the hills than in the valley between them and the ocean. The exact difference has never been ascertained, but how great it may be can be appreciated from the fact that the only rain gauge kept in the hills, at an elevation of about 2000 feet, by James Smith of Santa Ana, at a bee ranch in the north fork of Trabuco canyon, showed last May a rainfall of nearly two inches and a half, while that in the valley was only about half an inch. resides on the ranch, but is only an employer of labor. All the horses and mules are heavily grained and well groomed. The men employed have meals as good as can be had at any 25 cent restaurant. They have their own dining-room and there is a proper bunk house. The ranch being not owned by Mr. Kohlmeier, but only leased to him, the dwelling-house is of little account. There are, however, good stables and sheds, and plenty of good water is piped from springs. Every machine, tool, wagon and harrow is well taken care of. The Trabuco mesa contains 320 acres more than what belongs to the O'Neill ranch. These 320 acres belong to W. E. Robinson and are also leased to Mr. Kohlmeier. OUR TARS IN BATTLE One Played a Harmonica While Shells Were Bursting Overhead. During the recent bombardment of San Juan the monitor Terror lay for half an hour within 1,000 yards of the shore, with the shells of a dozen or more Spanish guns whirling about her, bursting overhead and sending great geyers spurting in the air all around her. All the other vessels of the squadron had moved out to sea, and the little ironclad was alone banging away at the batteries, which had concentrated their fire on her. A shell striking the vessel's open superstructure deck, where the men were at work at the smaller guns, would have caused havoc. While all this confusion of battle reigned a sailor spied a harmonica lying on the deck close to one of the turrets. The concussion of the guns had tumbled it from its hiding place in the superstructure. The sailor watched his chance, secured the musical instrument and went dancing to the upper deck, playing a lively jig. "That's the kind of stuff our men are made of," said one of the Terror's officers the other day, as he related the incident. "As I stood there figuring that the shells were coming a little closer all the while, thinking it was about time for one to strike us, and wondering just what it would do when it did, this fellow came bowling by me blowing his mouth-organ as coolly as though we were here in the harbor. Shells didn't bother him." which American enterprise and are taking in the development Far East. In his introduction to the ww Emory says: The United States is no long "granary of the world" merely its exports of agricultural products have increased to a remarkable degree during the past year its sales are manufactured goods have continued with a facility and profit of results which have excited our concern of countries which erations had not only controlled home markets, but had praised monopolized certain lines of other lands. When we consider the result has been reached with parative ease, in spite of added elements to United States export form of discriminations of all reach foreign markets for our factures is also yet in its infallability of the United States to successfully with the most advanced industrial nations in any part world, as well as with those nations their home markets, can no longer seriously questioned. The attention which foreigniments have given to this rapid development of American trade is discussed low: In view of what may be termed American invasion of the main world, the attitude of the commercial nations toward each and their relations in which their trial activity and trade interest to the United States becomes so practical concern. The most important incidents during this period in foreign diplomacy have a sign for us which might not have been so effort to extend the sale of our factures may be said that the chief of European diplomacy at this day is to secure new spheres of influence by the overflow of population for more densely inhabited country. The world has watched the progress of diplomatic drama in China; the interest which has been held by the knowledge that the new channels of trade to the coast of the globe or the appropriation by particular nations for their special benefit, China has fo The foot of the St. James mountain is near the east half of the north line, divided therefrom by the Trabuco canyon. This line constitutes the base of the triangle. The whole mesa is surrounded by double and triple ranges of hills. As is known the rainfall is heavier in the hills than in the valley between them and the ocean. The exact difference has never been ascertained, but how great it may be can be appreciated from the fact that the only rain gauge kept in the hills, at an elevation of about 2000 feet, by James Smith of Santa Ana, at a bee ranch in the north fork of Trabuco canyon, showed last May a rainfall of nearly two inches and a half, while that in the valley was only about half an inch. And from the fact that even now, during a drought, water seeps through the roof of mining tunnels nearly 900 feet long, entering at an elevation of 3000 to 4000 feet above sea level the side of hills in the coast range, which range is between the foothills and the Sierra and whereof St. James mountain forms part. In the winter of 1893-94 Mr. Kohlmeier broke 700 acres of the mesa. He did not break more because the rainfall was deficient. In 1894 he harvested a crop of 500 sacks of barley and 75 tons of hay from these 700 acres. If the soil had not been gravelly loam he might have had no crop at all. In the winter of 1894-95, he broke the balance of the 2300 acres and also 320 acres of adjacent mesa land, not on the O'Neill ranch. His crop in 1895 was 5600 sacks of barley, 4000 of wheat and 75 tons of hay, from 2600 acres. In 1896 the crop was 6000 sacks of barley, 11,000 of wheat and again 75 tons of hay. In 1897 he harvested 6500 sacks of barley, 14,600 of wheat and 50 tons of hay. This year he has harvested 1000 sacks of barley (from an acreage which last year yielded 4000) and 1700 sacks of oats (his first oat crop); and when the harvest now in progress is finished he will have at least 8000 sacks of wheat. Hay, he has none to speak of, but he bales some of the straw. Mr. Kohlmeier always grows Defiance wheat, because it is not subject to rust. Immunity from rust is especially important to him because, with his excellent soil, his wheat usually is vigorous. Rust damages vigorous wheat more than wheat less vigorous. Mr. Kohlmeier was the first man in this county who bought a combined harvester and thresher for $1700 four years ago. The cutting bar is 20 feet long. This year, the crop being light, he had added 5 feet. The machine is worked with from 26 to 32 horses or mules, and requires the work of five men. Now such a machine can be bought for $1500. Last fall the highest price paid at San Francisco for clean wheat—that is, for wheat free from volunteer barley or oats—was $160 per sack of 140 pounds. El Toro, eight miles off, is the railroad station nearest to the Trabuco mesa, on the A. T. and S. F. R. R. The price paid there for wheat usually is about 20 cents per sack below at San Francisco. The difference is mostly made by the rate of transportation. Mr. Kohlmeier sold his wheat at El Toro for $128 per sack, and would have had $135 if it had been perfectly clean. The quality of the wheat this year is most excellent, because while the rainfall in winter was deficient even in the hills, although not so deficient as in the valley, which made the stand less good, the rain in the spring much heavier in the hills than in the valley, came just in time to swell the berry. That same rain, however, came too late for benefiting the barley, as it was already formed. Hence, Mr. Kohlmeier has a wheat crop over one-half deck close to one of the turrets. The concussion of the guns had tumbled it from its hiding place in the superstructure. The sailor watched his chance, secured the musical instrument and went dancing to the upper deck, playing a lively jig. “That’s the kind of stuff our men are made of,” said one of the Terror’s officers the other day, as he related the incident. “As I stood there figuring that the shells were coming a little closer all the while, thinking it was about time for one to strike us, and wondering just what it would do when it did, this fellow came bowling by me blowing his mouth-organ as coolly as though we were here in the harbor. Shells didn’t bother him.” But a little while before this tar of the Terror accompanied the music of Spanish shells with his harmonica, the Detroit lay in the mouth of the harbor, right under Moro, defying its guns, and pouring shot after shot against the fort. A shell struck the water about a hundred yards abaft the ship. A few minutes later a second shot from the same gun fell a little closer; a third was still nearer and the fourth narrowly missed striking the mark. But the Spaniard failed to keep up his good work. From all accounts the sailors do not mind Spanish shells a bit. They go into battle heart and soul. They fight at their guns as though the enemy were at arm’s length, and the struggle were a personal one. “Give it to the Spaniards! That’s a good ‘un! Another in the same place’ll make ‘em sick!” That is the way they take it in the thickest of the fray. But when it is all over and the music of the shells and the crash of the guns are but a memory, the officers in the safety of the Key West hotel veranda, discussing the fight, speak respectfully of 8-inch projectiles. “Did I mind it?” said a lieutenant other night, speaking of a particular San Juan shell. “Well, I was pretty busy at that time, and couldn’t give it much attention. But it did seem to me as though it went within about six inches of my head. As I look back upon it now it seems that it might have been at least twenty feet over me. But—” he hit viciously at his cigar, and solemnly shook his head. “Scared?” said the engineer of the Terror, speaking of San Juan. “Well I guess I was. It was awfully hot below, and we couldn’t see a thing, and the conclusion of the guns and the knowledge that we were in a rain of shells, were mighty unpleasant. The cat and I were very badly frightened. I tell you I guess the cat was worse than I. He mewed, and I don’t think I did. But then, you know, the cat and I were the only folks on board that minded it!” He had evidently forgotten the celebrated goat, William Terror, who excited so much interest when the monitor was in New York last winter. Billy is very young. They call him an apprentice goat. It was his first time under fire, and he behaved very badly. When the action opened he was on the upper deck, and at the first broadside became panicstricken. He tore about the deck bleating furiously, and as the fight grew hotter he grew more violent. A sailor had to carry him below, and in depths of the ship, alone and uncomfortable, he trembled and bleated until the last gun was silent. The Detroit’s goat was braver. He had a station on the gun deck, and while the fire was going on and she shells were whirling over him, he remained absolutely quiet. But whenever there came a lull, he capered madly about the deck, kicking and bleating. There is a difference of opinion as to why he kept so composed during all the confusion. His friends among the crew say that he was interested, and was greatly enhanced by the transition now going on in our industry converting us slowly, but surely a people absorbed with the interest...

The difference is mostly made by the rate of transportation. Mr. Kohlmeier sold his wheat at El Toro for $12 per sack, and would have had $13 if it had been perfectly clean. The quality of the wheat this year is most excellent, because while the rainfall in winter was deficient even in the hills, although not so deficient as in the valley, which made the stand less good, the rain in the spring, much heavier in the hills than in the valley, came just in time to swell the berry. That same rain, however, came too late for benefiting the barley, as it was already formed. Hence, Mr. Kohlmeier has a wheat crop over one-half of what he had last year from the same acreage and of fully as prime a quality, while his barley crop is only one-fourth and not so good. Altogether, however, he makes a showing far superior to that of any other large tract of dry land in the county, and will have left a comfortable margin above expenses. Up to last season Mr. Kohlmeier had sowed 50 pounds of grain to the acre, but he then increased it to 60 in order to have a better stand. He did not get that better stand, by reason of the drought. But if he had sowed only 50 pounds like before, the stand would have been still more deficient. He plows and sows between October and February, which requires from 6 to 8 men, from 40 to 50 horses or mules and from 4 to 8 plows for eight horses. His harrow consists of six squares or sections, each four feet wide, and attached in a row to a beam. Two squares would make an ordinary harrow. Eight horses abreast draw it. A man in a cart fastened to the harrow and at the rear thereof drives the horses. With the combined harvester and thresher no rake is required. Sowing is done by a seeder placed on a two-horse wagon. It scatters the seed as far as 20 to 30 feet on each side. As some seed thus scattered remains on the surface and does not germinate, drilling, although more expensive, might perhaps pay better. To haul the grain to El Toro with a normal crop keeps three to four wagons, each with four to six horses, going from six weeks to two months. Between seeding and harvesting Mr. Kohlmeier turns his stock in pasture and keeps only one man, the foreman. Mr. Kohlmeier, although a skillful practical farmer, does no longer himself perform any manual labor. He deck, and at the first broadside became panic stricken. He tore about the deck bleaching furiously, and as the fight grew hotter he grew more violent. A sailor had to carry him below, and in the depths of the ship, alone and uncomforted, he trembled and bleated until the last gun was silent. The Detroit's goat was braver. He had a station on the gun deck, and while the firing was going on and the shells were whirling over him, he remained absolutely quiet. But whenever there came a lull, he capered madly about the deck, kicking and bleating. There is a difference of opinion as to why he kept so composed during all the confusion. His friends among the crew say that he was interested, and was watching the battle with a critical eye, and that his subsequent capers were but an expression of satisfaction at its results. His detractors contend that he was paralyzed with fear, and that when the noise ceased the spell was broken, and he gave vent to his feelings of terror by his wild antics. Inasmuch as goats have no particular duty assigned to them in action, these two were at a disadvantage. They had nothing to occupy their minds but their troubles. "When you are busy, and have something to think about, it isn't so bad." That is the way an officer sums up the situation. THE WORLD OUR MARKET. United States is Seeking the Trade of all Nations. WASHINGTON, July 21.-The remarkable advance of the United States into the markets of the world is presented in a publication just issued from the Bureau of Foreign Commerce, Department of State, under the direction of Frederick Emory. While presenting elaborate statistics and data on the increase of this trade the world over, the subject is also treated broadly to bring out the general significance of this trade development, which Mr. Emory refers to as an "American invasion of the markets of the world." Although no reference is made to recent geographical and political changes, resulting from the appearance of the United States in the Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rio and elsewhere, yet the review deals with the important part Our baby has been continually ed since his birth, and all that we need for him did not seem to give than temporary relief, until we Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and rhoea Remedy.

In his introduction to the work Mr. Memory says: "The United States is no longer the granary of the world" merely. While its exports of agricultural products have increased to a remarkable extent during the past year its sales abroad of manufactured goods have continued to extend with a facility and promptitude results which have excited the serious concern of countries which for generations had not only controlled their home markets, but had practically monopolized certain lines of trade in other lands. When we consider that the result has been reached with comparative ease, in spite of added impediments to United States exports in the form of discriminations of all sorts, to each foreign markets for our manufactures is also yet in its infancy, the utility of the United States to compete successfully with the most advanced industrial nations in any part of the world, as well as with those nations in their home markets, can no longer be seriously questioned. The attention which foreign governments have given to this rapid increase American trade is discussed as follows: In view of what may be termed an american invasion of the markets of the world, the attitude of the leading commercial nations toward each other and the relations in which their industrial activity and trade interests bear the United States, becomes a matter practical concern. The more important incidents during the past year foreign diplomacy have a significance us which might not have attached them in the absence or concerted effort to extend the sale of our goods. It may be said that the chief business European diplomacy at the present day is to secure new spheres of influence and wider opportunities for trade, as well as suitable territory for occupation in the overflow of population from the ore densely inhabited countries. The world has watched the progress the diplomatic drama in China with the interest which has been heightened by the knowledge that the practical outcome may be either the opening of new channels of trade to the commerce the globe or the appropriation of them particular nations for their own special benefit, China has for some SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS Are you registered?

Commodore Schley said he would turn them over to the American government for information. Captain Contreras in vain stormed and pleaded, and finally Commodore Schley lost his temper, and said: "I do not see that you are entitled to any consideration at all.

This demonstrated that the Brooklyn fought every ship of the Spanish squadron in turn and landed nearly twice as many five-inch shells as all of the other vessels did eight-inch ones, and as many as all other kinds combined. The Iowa comes next with eight four-inch shells, five of which were planted in the last vessel out of the harbor, the Almirante Oquendo. The ten-inch shells must be divided among the four vessels firing them, although two placed in the Vizcaya undoubtedly belong to the Brooklyn's list of hits. The committee of five members comprising D. T. Fowler, Green Majors, Thomas V. Cator, W. P. Balder and Carlton H. Johnson, appointed by the so-called straight people's party convention after the split of the populist party at Sacramento July 14, has prepared an address to voters setting forth at length the reasons that lead to the nomination of T. W. H. Shanahan for Governor on the anti-fusion ticket. The history of former attempts at fusion is reviewed, and it is claimed that fusion means absorption by the Democratic party. The address scores their whilom associates, charging them with sacrificing the Populist party in their fast for office, and claiming that union with the Democrats means the dissolution of the Peoples' party. The address concludes with an appeal to all populists to support the middle-of-the-road candidates. A New York dispatch says that a lawyer has been retained by the steamship companies who were unsuccessful bidders for transporting the 22,000 captured Spanish prisoners from Santiago to Spain, and will begin action to have the contract made by the government with the Gompagnia Transatlantique Espaniola set aside. The ground taken is that the successful bidder is the licensed corporation of a nation with whom we are at war, and that, according to a measure passed by the Spanish Cortez, one-half of the receipts of a corporation doing business under the Spanish government must be surrendered to the government to help defray the expense of the war. By letting the contract to a Spanish corporation, the United States government indirectly pays into the Spanish treasury an amount equal to one-half the stipulation. Also that the government thereby releases from blockade all the enemy's vessels to be or us which might not have attached them in the absence or concerted effort to extend the sale of our goods. It may be said that the chief business European diplomacy at the present day is to secure new spheres of influence and wider opportunities for trade, as well as suitable territory for occupation by the overflow of population from the more densely inhabited countries. The world has watched the progress of the diplomatic drama in China with the interest which has been heightened by the knowledge that the practical outcome may be either the opening of new channels of trade to the commerce of the globe or the appropriation of them in particular nations for their own special benefit. China has for some years been one of the most promising fields for American enterprise, industry and capital, and the entry of the vast empire upon the path of Western development, under conditions which would secure equality of opportunity to the United States would doubtless result in immense gain to our manufacturers in the demand sure to allow for lines of supplies and goods of various descriptions that we are required to provide. The solution of the problem of the commercial conditions of the Chinese empire has, therefore, an immediate and most important relation to the export trade, especially that of our specific Slope. The partitions of Africa among the European powers offers consideration of an economic character of an equal magnitude, while the wars of the more active commercial actions for increasing their respective areas in the trade of the Latin-American markets affected us even more seriously in the development of our commercial intercourse than the south half of the western hemisphere. The internationalization of the United States, so far as industry and commercial interests are concerned, is, in fact, been made a thing of the past, by the logic of the change in our economic requirements, and we can no longer afford to disregard international affairs now that we ourselves have become a competitor in the world-wide juggle for trade. It is shown, also, that international conditions in many of the foreign countries are bringing about important economic changes which affect the trade of the United States. In this condition Mr. Emory says: Nor is it with the relation of different relations toward one another that we are one concerned. The industrial changes current within the territory of which obtain in a new and much graver importance in their possible effect upon developments as an exporter of manufactured goods. The conditions contributing to the rapid growth of manufactures in recent years, the fiscal range in Russia, India and Japan, as well as in some of the Latin-American countries, the extraordinary impulse seen to the industrial and commercial growth of the German empire as a facet of international trade, the advance Russia on similar lines, and the old progress of the Siberian Railroad an open port on the Yellow sea; efforts of Great Britain to check encroachments of other nations, decline of the sugar industry in the East Indies as a result of the beet sugar competition, the troubles Spain with colonies, the discovery of gold in Alaska and the adjacent Territory in British Columbia, the tariff legislation the United States, Canada and other countries, all these phases of economic changes during the past year, have an interest and importance which are greatly enhanced by the transformation now going on in our industrial life, diverting us slowly, but surely, from people absorbed with the internal deJames H. Seale that the officers of the Cristobal Colon had their log-books with them. He reported the fact to Commodore Schley, who ordered them seized. The second in command, Adolphus Contreras, captain of the frigate, came aboard the Brooklyn and asked that they be returned, as they were the only records saved. Commodore Schley said he would turn them over to the American government for information. Captain Contreras in vain stormed and pleaded, and finally Commodore Schley lost his temper, and said: "I do not see that you are entitled to any consideration at all. You sunk your ships after you had surrendered. You ruined your guns and did everything that a dishonorable enemy could think of. I shall hold your log." The story told by the log-book is an interesting one. The minute details constitute a complete story of the movements of Admiral Cervera's fleet from the day it left Spain to the time of its destruction. The official account of the naval victory at Manzanillo, modestly told by Commander Todd of the United States gunboat Wilmington, in the report to Admiral Sampson—makes interesting reading, as follows: At 7 o'clock on the morning of July 17 the vessels on blockade duty in this vicinity, the Wilmington, Helena, Scorpion, Hist, Hornet, Wampatuck, and Osceola, approached the harbor of Manzanillo from the westward. At 7:30 the Wilmington and Helena entered the channel toward the city, the Scorpion and Osceola the mid channel, and the Hornet and Wampatuck the south channel, the movements of the vessels being so timed as to bring them within effective range of the shipping at about the same moment. At 7:30 fire was opened on the shipping, and after a deliberate fire, lasting about 24 hours, three Spanish transports, El Gloria, Jose Garcia and La Purisima Concepción, were burned and destroyed. The Pontoon, which was the harbor guard and storeship, probably for ammunition was burned aud blown up. Three gunboats were destroyed. One other was driven ashore, and sank and a third was driven ashore and it is believed to have been disabled. No casualties occurred on board any of our vessels. Great care was taken in directing the fire that as little damage as possible should be done the city itself, and as far as could be observed, little if any was done. The Spanish loss is supposed to have been in the neighborhood of 100 dead. A correspondent writing from Cavite, Manila, July 17 relates the result of an inspection of the hulls of the Spanish warships sunk in Manila bay by the squadron of Admiral Dewey. The cruiser Reina Cristina shows the most complete destruction. The course of the Olympic's 8-inch shell is clearly traced by a line of ruin extending from her stern to her waist. All her woodwork is totally destroyed. There are very few large shot holes through her hull, the principal ones being from a 6-inch shell and from some of the 4-inch shells, all made amidships. Charred human remains were seen in several places. A large heap of remains near where the ladder stood shows that a rush to escape was made by the engineer force. All were lost, as the hatchways to the engine and firerooms were closed. The cruiser Castilla was less burned, but was terribly wrecked. There were plain traces where six big shells to immense holes in her wooden hull. When the fire started the weight of the guns caved the hull inward. The warship is now a mass of twisted iron and charred beams, a bad wreck, resembling that of Maine in appearance. Everything aft from the engines was shattered. Three large shells entailed amidships. The second in command, Adolphus Contreras, captain of the frigate, came aboard the Brooklyn and asked that they be returned, as they were only records saved. Commodore Schley said he would turn them over to the American government for information. Captain Contreras in vain stormed and pleaded, and finally Commodore Schley lost his temper, and said: "I do not see that you are entitled to any consideration at all.

Our baby has been continually troubled with colic and cholera infantum since his birth, and all that we could do him did not seem to give more than temporary relief, until we tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy. Since giving that remedy he has not been troubled. We want to give you this testimonial as an evidence of gratitude, not that you did it to advertise your meritorious deed.—G. M. Law, Keokuk, Iowa. For sale by P. A. Derge An attempt to blow up the Mendelson Hotel at Capistrano was made Thursday night by some unknown miscreant. Quantity of black powder attached to house was placed against the window in the house, causing an explosion that took the entire town and was heard several miles. No one was injured. The damage done to the house was right, on account of the position in which the explosive was placed. Had been put under the house or against the solid wall the building would certainly have been wrecked. There is no clew to the perpetrator of crime or any known motive. Offenses are at work, and will endeavor to判处 the guilty party. The residents Capistrano have offered a reward of 100 for the arrest and conviction of the guilty person. I have used Chamberlain's Cough remedy in my family for years and says with good results," says Mr. W. Cooper of El Río, Cal. "For small children we find it especially effective." Four-inch shells (fired only by the Iowa)—Infanta Maria Teresa, 1; Almirante Oquendo, 5; Vizcaya, 2. Five-inch shells (fired by the Brooklyn)—Infanta Maria Teresa, 5; Vizcaya, 6; Oquendo, 5 (one of which exploded a torpedo); Cristobal Colon, 4. Eight-inch shells (fired by Brooklyn, Iowa, Oregon and Indiana)—Teresa, 3; Oquendo, 3; Vizcaya, 4. As the Indiana did not follow the chase, she had nothing to do with the hits on the Vizcaya. Of the 12 or 13-inch shells, only two on the Teresa must be credited to the battleships Oregon, Indiana, Texas and Iowa, although it is quite certain that the Texas fired. All the Spanish ships were riddled with the rapid fire of the one and six-pounders carried by all the American ships. It will be seen from this table that the greatest proportion of large shells effectively landed came from Commodore Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, and that she placed twenty five-inch shells in the vitals of the different vessels of the enemy, pretty since. When asked to be taken ahead they were put off with promises, and now feel that the company does not intend to do anything. The party is now at the camp far away from home and without money. It consists of thirteen men from the Old Bay State. The Consul suggests that persons desiring to enter the gold fields take every possible precaution. He says he has abundant evidence that several companies are now, and have been for some months, engaged in the nefarious traffic referred to. Prisoners of war cheering the flag of their captors was the unusual sight witnessed at the Union dock in Brooklyn on Sunday. The sight was all the more significant as the cheers came from Spanish throats. The 254 prisoners captured on the four prize steamers now in port were about to sail for home under the British flag. They were all on board the Hesperia of the Anchor line, and just as she backed out of the dock a patrol gunboat came by. With one accord the prisoners raised three mighty cheers, which startled the people on the Brooklyn shore and could be heard on Governor's Island. It was the best they could do in thanking Uncle Sam for the kindness lavished on them while they were prisoners. The Hesperia left at 3 p.m. bound for Italian ports. She will put the prisoners on shore at Gibraltar. The prisoners were a happy lot and their appearance showed that they had been well treated in their enforced idleness. Among the 254 prisoners were six officers. They had saloon accommodations, while others are in steerage. One of the Spanish officers said: "If our men in the field realized either the hopelessness of our cause or the treatment they would get at the hands of the Americans, they would not fight long. The quickest and easiest way to reach home is to surrender. I believe in fighting where there is a chance, but our soldiers do not know we have not a chance. They can get home quicker by surrendering and in the meantime be well fed and taken care of. But they think the Americans will murder them." Bucklen's Arroca Salve.
