The Star has received a copy of a service- able map that mests the requirements of the present war emergency admirably. Com- ing from John C. Parker of this city, it combires three of the best maps from the Rand, McNally press, one showing the world in Mercator’s projection, snabling the student of the war to observe naval opera- tions not only ij West, but East Indian, waters. Another section shows Cuba in such detail as will be required by the aver- age observer, whil: a third shows the West Indies, giving an excellent notion of the re- lations of Porto Rico, Cuba and the Amert-, can shores. = WASHINGTON...3.46 pm <2 “© Tampa .- ej] <* Port Tampa.

A bill in equity for an injunction has been filed by Sullivan Forehand and Bax- ter E. Perry against Ellen F. Pres- sey. The court is asked to enjoin the de- fendants from receiving from the Treas- ury Department the sum of $66,907, appro- priated by Congress for the relief of one John C. Howe, deceased, in payment for the use by the United States of a certain device patented by Howe. It fs explained that while the Sectetary of the Treasury was directed to pay to the legal representative of Howe the amount stated, this was done because Howe was the holder of the legal title to the fund, and the complainants were but the holders of the beneficial or equitable interest there- in. The legal representative of Howe, it is claimed, is his administratrix, who, by virtue of her office, is entitled to receive all funds to which Howe was legally en- titled.
