He was rid- ing to the front through a broken country to attend a call for medical assistance when an overhanging branch struck him on the left side, throwing him from his horse and leaving him stunned and ter- ribly bruised. That was in December, when he was attached to the Eighteenth Infantry. A few weeks later, while on his way ‘from Ileilo to Capig in a small boat a storm came on and in the pitching of the vessel he was thrown to the deck and again struck on his left side, injuring him- self painfully. Although unfit for duty, surgeons were scarce, and he remained at his post until February 16, when, while removing a bullet from a wounaed man, his left arm became paralyzed. Then he applied to be relieved, but the department was =0 slow in acting on his request that a month passed before the relief came. During that time he remained.in the fleld, although it was necessary for his men to Jift him in and out of the saddle every day. After five days in the lloilo hos- pital he was transferred to a transport and came home. His death was due to an aneurism of the heart. The dead soldier was the son of Austin J.

The petition alleges that there is not now and never has been any plague in this city, that the prophy- lactic fluld is a poison and will give a per- son inoculated therewith a most danger- ous sickness, and that the order of the Board of Health is aimed at the Chinese exclusively and is therefore a discrimina- tion against persons, which discrimination i in conflict with the constitution of the | United States and of the State of Call- fornia. | ———— Feast of Ascension Celebrated.

SEARLE, one of the oldest navigators in Western waters since the Pacific traffic became an object to the com- mercia! world, died yesterday morning in his rooms at the Palace Hotel. For many years past he has been a sufferer from rheumatism and kindred ills.

Though sub- mitting to an operation there little im- provement was effected by the treatment to which Captain Searle was subjected. He then returned to this coast and took up his residence at the Palace. For many vears Captain Searle was at the head of the Pacific Mail Steamship fleet, retiring with a reputation for cour- age, bravery and skill as a mariner.

About $8.000 is in cash distributed among the various savings banks of this city. The property Is situlted in Monterey County. As far as is known Captain Searles left no relatives. The Public Ad- ministrator was granied letters of admin- istration yesterday and at once took pos- gession of hie effects. It 18 not definitely known whether or not a will was left, but the general belief is that Captain Searle drew up a statement two years ago and reposed it in the keeping of A. Halsey of a close friend of the deceased. . The last hours of Captain Searle’s life were attended by the pres- ence of Miss 8. W. Nicoll, an old friend, and Captain George S. innon.
