He is owned by J. C. Pridham & Co. of Los Angeles ard has his home at Pridham'’s rabbitry in Pasadena. Ajax came here from Los Angeles, where he was entered in the %os An- geles Belgian hare show, taking the first prize in the only class in which he was tered. He was slightly out of condi- tion at the time on aecount of having =ome of the fur off his nose, and Mr. Prid- ham did not offer him in the champion- ship class. He could have done so, how- ever, without fear, as when he was scored he stood higher in points than the buck which won in the championship class, scoring %% out of a possible 100. Here the little animal showed to better advantage and was given a quarter of a t more because of the better condi- 1 of its ticking, or fur. He scored % the judgment of P. E.

Mr. Prid- | Qeclined $500 for the little beauty, says that he would do the same with an offer of double the amount. The Belglan hare show here is proving & Breat success, and much of it is due to the energy of Dr. P.

Her captain afterward came aboard the New York and assured me the Cristobal Colon was in good or- der. He took his meals with me on board the New York, and more than once as- sured me that his ship was in good order. | The Colon floated off without any assist- ance, and Captain Chadwick pushed her back on shore, where she now lles. At low tide she is about ten feet dry. | °%As T said before, the captain sald he had not injured her. This statement was at once disproved. The valves had been broken and could not be. closed. 1 ae. cused the captain of having broken the | valve stems. He declared that If it was done the engineer did 4t, and that it was without his knowledge or consent. | “The fact that the ship had been sunk | after she had surrendered made me rec- ommend that the commanding officer be | retained on board or that he be shot as naving destroved public property which, after his surrendor, belonged to the | tor. 1 made the same recommendation In | regard to the captain of the Sandoval, who sank his ship after the surrender at Santiago, and several days after he had | received ‘a letter from me, warning him | that he was no longer at liberty to do | injury to the vessel.” |KING REX CAPTURES THE CRESCENT CITY Mardi Gras Visitors Tax the Capacity of New Orleans Hotels and Boarding-Houses.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELLING- TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.— Representative de Vries, by direction of the Committee on Public Lands, to-day submitted a report on his resolution pro- viding for the negotiating for and bond- ing of certain groves in Sequoia National Park. The reasons supporting the adoption of the resolution are: “Mammoth Tree Grove” and “South Park Grove" of trees, Sequola gigantea, located In Calaveras and Tuolumne -counties, constitute the most easily accessible, the most compact groves and ihe finest specimens of these trees in the world. The North Calaveras or Mammoth grove, located at the Big Trees Posjoffice, near ibe eastern border of Calavehas County, comprises fifty acres of virgin forest. It contains about 100 big trees. The common height of these trees is from 260 to 325 feet. South Cala- veras grove ls located about six miles south of sald postoffice, near the west border of and 'within Tuolumne County, This grove covers about 1000 acres and contains 1380 big trecs.

They snd this tract of land are held in private ownership, and are in immediate danger of destruction for timber and lum- ber purpcses. The movement for their acquisition inaugurated by the San Fran- cisco Club, an assoclation of prominent and patriotic Pacific Coast ladies, has given warning to the scientific, botanical and wonder-admiring world of the im- pending menace and_aroused a uniform demand from every State for the acquisi- tion and ownership of these groves by the Federal Government. The resolution au- thorizes that the Secretary of the Interior negotiate for and If possible bond these groves and report the proceedings to Con- gress. AGRARIANS MAY TRIUMPH.

AT WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The United | Btates Court of Claims to-day rendered | an opinfon on the claim of Admiral Dewey, his officers and men for naval | bounty under section 4635 of the Revised Statutes for the destruction of the Span- ish fleet in Manila Bay on May 1, 1888, the court holding that the claimant has a right to recover for each person on board the enemy’s ships the sum of $100. This decision is upon the basis that the ad- miral’s fleet was superior to the Spanish fleet, excluding the shore batteries, the torpedoes and the mines in Manila Bay. Admiral Dewey’s claim was for $200 for each man belonging to the enemy’s fleet, including the supporting shore batteries, mines and torpedoes. The principal ques- tion involved in the case was whether, in determining the enemy’s force, the sup- porting shore batterles, mines and torpe- does should be included. Taking into consideration the guns at Corregidor, El Fralle and other forts at | the entrance of the bay and those at Ma- | nila and Cavite, and the torpedoes and mines in the bay and entrance to it, it was contended by counsel for Admiral Dewey that the enemy’s force was supe- ! rior to the vessels of the United States. The Government insisted that the statute failed to provide for the contingency of co-operation of the land batteries with the fleet destroyed, and the court is powerless to supply the omission. The court in declding the case held that the law applied only to the force of the vessels engaged in the action, and that in this instance, taking the number and character of the vessels into account, the strength of their batteries on board and all other matters which properly go to the determination of the actual fighting strength of the two opposing fleets, that of the United States was the superfor. It fs understood that counsel for ~Admiral Dewey will take an appeal to the Supreme Court of the U nl!ns States. Under to- day’s decision Admiral Dewey is person- ally entitled to $9570. In an opinfon by Justice Brown the United States Supreme Court to-day de- cided the naval prize money case involv- ing the seizure of the British steamer Abdulla. The opinfon handed down to-day holds that Admiral Sampson’s blockade of Guantanamo, Cuba, where the vessel was captured, was effective, and because the voyage of the steamer was pecuniary she was a lawful prize. An opinion was handed down In the case of the Spanish ship Panama, sall- ing from New York to Havana, which was captured as a prize off Havana on | April 25, 18! The vessel was carrying United States malil, but was owned by a Spanish corporation and was under con- tract as a Spanish mail vessel and car- ried arms as such. The court held this was a lawful prize. INTERESTS THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Bills Introduced by the Members of the California Delegation at ‘Washington. Spectal Dispatch to The Call.
