AN IRISH YACHT WILL TRY.

It looks as though there would be
another contest next year for the
American cup, and that the prelimin-
airy negotiations will be conducted
without the quibbling and delays that
marked other contests.

with a challenge to the New York
Yacht Club. No definite intelligence
has been received beyond that it is re-

special conditions. for he has seen
yacht racing in this country, and is
satisfied that everything viii be fair
and that the best boat will win.
The Irish yacht will be named the
Shamrock. She will be a cutter about
the size OF valkyrie III. and will be
built under lock and key so that her
lines cannot be published prematurely.

Holguin, and dozen miles west OF the
boundary Of the region surrendered to

or more Spanish warships. The chief
victim in this instance was the gun
boat Jorge Juan, vessel of $50 tons,
carrying three ~ inch, two 2S inch
and two machine guns. Two smaller
craft, the Baracoa and Lijera, took
refuge in small creeks, where they were
hunted up and captured.
On the American side nobody was
hurt and no vessel was injured, al
though the harbor was mined and two
mines were exploded not far from the
cruiser Topeka.

San Francisco, August 6.-The ships
OF the first transport fleet to Manila
are expected tt return liz about ten
days, and with the Scandal and Ari-
zona, now in preparation, will form
the SECOND expedition for Manila. This
expedition will be under the command
|of Brig. Gen. King. The Scandal and
the Arizona will take the Seventh Cal
ifornia regiment, two battalions of the
Eighteenth and Twenty-third regiments
and SEQ recruits for the regiments
which have already departed.
Before September 10 all the troops
in camp here will probably have been
dispatched to Manila, for with the re-
turn of the first transport fleet and
its second departure, the bulk of the
men in camp can be taken care of. The
second fleet will probably return be-
fore the end of August, and the ships
consisting of the China, Colon, Zealan-
dia and Senator, will more than suffice
to take the troops left in camp after
the Australia, Picking and Sydney have
sailed.

ARRANGING THE PROPORTION.

They were discussing woman's adj

Just think Of the inequality Of
things In this worldI' said the new
woman. There is that little snip OF
barely 10 years who is TO be married

COO. 1t is unjust"

the old beau courteously. Il have
given the matter some thought. and it
is apparent to me that things are very
unevenly ard unsatisfactory arrang-
ed in the matrimonial market. II

Of that. II enc can't get married at

new woman.
In that case it might be proper to

precisely. And If that were not
sufficient to tempt anyone | would be-
gin adding $4,000 q year. In that
case we would sort of equalize the
chances and make up for deficiencies
In beauty ard temper"
The new woman laughed.
"But can't you see" she said. that
YOU would be offering Inducements 10

Certainly" he replied.
"And in that way you would be de-
feating your own purpose?"

MANY CLAIMS
Are Coming to Light since ths Init.
nation Was Given That Uncle Sam
Would Settle.

] Washington. August 5.-The an
government. will assume liability for
the claims of the Insurgents against
the Spanish government on account
OF injuries and damages sustained in
the Cuban Instruction has caused the
filing of a large number of claims with
the State Department. Very many Of
these are not based upon events &C.
curing during the last rebellion, but
dated back for many years, and relates
to excess customs collections, dam
ages sustained through municipal NAL
administration, alleged illegal confne-
ment and such things.
On the other hand there are now
Spanish claims to the amount of S.
100000 against the United States, and
in the event of a joint claims COM
mission being authorized would be
proper offsets to many Americans here.
"A large number of these claims are
made by Spanish subjects on account
of property destroyed or appropriated
by the confederate troops during the
civil war, thus having exactly the same
basis as number of claims filed by
American citizens against the Spanish
government for property seized Or de-
Stroyed by the insurgents in Cuba.
Another class of these claims are of
ancient date, flowing from the abortive
efforts of the commissioners and spe-
cial courts created by Congress to set
tie the Florida claims 1t is be-
lieved to be probable, however, that in
the adjustment of peace terms our gov
eminent will ignore all claims save
those preferred by American citizens
Tor losses sustained in Cuba, allowing
the others to be agreed on later by a
Joint commission.

EORE DECISIONS
OF Controversial Points In the War Revenue
Law.

OF Controversial Pointsfn the War Revenue
Law,
Washington, d. c., August 6.-The
Commissioners of Internal Revenue has
decided that deeds to cemetery lots
which convey only the right to burial
therein, to erect monuments. etc., do
not require a revenue stamp under the
new law. He has held also in another
case that on deeds of conveyance the
tax should be computed upon the true
value of the property conveyed; that
on deeds conveying only specified
fractional interest in undivided prop
erty the tax should be computed upon
the actual value Of the interest con-
veyed; also that all deeds Of convey
aLce where the value of the property
exceeds one hundred dollars must be
stamped The fact that the deed is a
deed of gift from husband and wife
does not exempt it from the tax. In
States where property cannot be con-
deed of gift from husband or wife
but must be conveyed through third
party, both deeds must be stamped &C
cording to the true value of the prop
erty conveyed A quit-claim deed, or
a deed made to cure defect in a pre-
vious deed must be stamped. Deeds of
release executed with the forms and
solemnity of conveyance CT right
title, or interest in real estate are held
to be subject to tax. A certificate on
the back or the margin of a mortgage
that the mortgage has been satisfied,
requires a stamp as a certificate.
Where, however. the local laws author
ize entry in satisfaction upon the rec
ord, and the mortgage is thus can
celled, such entry does not require a
stamp.
Letters of administrations letters tes-
tamentary or guardianship, it is held.
do not require stamps, but petition for the
appointment Of administrators, executors,
or guardians, do require stamps as do
bonds of administrators, executors or
guardians. No stamp IS required on GER
tifcate of tax sale for unpaid taxes nor
on the certificate of redemption from sale.
1t is held also that every separate cen
signment of goods delivered for storage
requires receipt which must be stamp
ed If the consignment requires several
DAYS in delivery, it need not have but
one tax of Is cents on it's receipt If it can
