That was a novel question of jurisdic-
ton which arose between the Spanish au-
thorities and those of the United States as
to priority Of right to examine the condition
of the wrecked battle ship. The interests
involved are so great that it is natural each
party should wish to make an independent
investigation through its own agents, either
before or simultaneously with the other.
This raised a question as to priority of
right. The harbor, the water and the land
under it belonged to Spain, while the ship
belonged to the United States. American
jurisdiction over the ship was as unques-
toned as Spanish jurisdiction over the
harbor If the ship were ahoat she would
be extra-territorial, or, to all intents and
purposes the same as American soil. Why
should not the same rule apply to the ship
under water as above it? The Spanish au-
thorities adopted this view and conceded
the jurisdiction of the United States au-
thorities, and consequently their prior right
tc control the ship and everything relating
to it. This was very novel and interest
ing question, and candor compels the adj
mission that the Spanish authorities seem
to have taken a just and reasonable view of
it. Undoubtedly it is the correct view, for
if the American flag were hoisted on any
part of the Maine which remains above
water the whole Spanish navy would not
dare to Interfere with it. As result of
their decision the submarine investigation
will be begun and conducted BY the United
States authorities. who win at the same
time afford every facility to the Spanish
authorities to prosecute an inquiry on their
own behalf.

Friday last was celebrated by the Theos-
ophists in this country as a sort of holiday.
In their calculations that day this year
marked the end of a cycle of 5000 years,
known as the Kali Yuga, dating back to
Slo2 b. c., the time of the death of Krishna.
This was the fourth cycle, they say, the
preceding ones having been Krita. Satya,
or the golden cycle, and Treta Dvapara.
Those who wish to be prepared for the end
ing of the next cycle had better cut this
OUT and pin it up somewhere.

The Journal commented a few days ago
on the promptness and unanimity with

and Madrid decided that the destruction of

specifying the particular Kind of accident

Spanish official has solved the mystery with
equal ease. Lieutenant Sobral, naval attacne

who was in New York to assist in receiving
the Spanish battle ship vizcaya, said: II
know the cause of the explosion but can
not divulge it," Pressed for further informa-
ton, he said:
1t was the result of an explosion inside
of the ship which took place in one of the
forward magazines. The fact of the matter
is that the discipline and the watch OBJ
served on the ship were very lax This as
one English newspaper the other day de-
clared. IS the case on American war ships
generally These sort of things have oc-
CURED on previous occasions on American
war vessels.

of surprise at the superior knowledge of
this Spanish naval attache over Captain
Sigsbee and all the officers Of the Maine
and of our navy as to the cause of her de-

fated ship and the highest officers in the
United States navy still confess themselves
in doubt as to the cause, of the explosion,
Lieutenant Sobral has no difficulty in dag
nosing the case and reaching a conclusion
that entirely exculpates his countrymen.
In the same conversation from which the
above is quoted the Spanish officer is re-
ported as saying:
I do not think that there will be war be-
tween the United States and Spain, but if
/ shall, of course be in a position to he of
much aid to my government a result of
the information which has come to my
knowledge as naval attache at the Spanish
legation. In the case Of hostilities l might,
perhaps, command a ship.
If this is correctly reported Lieutenant
Sobral should be given to understand that
his presence in Washington is no longer de-
sired. BY his own admission at least by
implication, he has been acting as a spy in
obtaining information regarding sthe United
States navy, to be utilized in the event of
war; AS naval attache of the Spanish le-
cation at Washington he comes under the
code of etiquette that applies to all the rep
resentatives of foreign governments, and
there is enough in these expressions, if they
are correctly reported, to justify our gov
eminent in requesting his recall. He should
be given a chance to deny or disavow the re-
port, and, failing to do so, the Spanish gov
eminent should be requested to recall him.

during their career in this city. Yesterday
a member of the firm of Wing Hing Wo,
Chinese and Japanese art dealers, at 2Sa
South Spring street, called at the police
station to ask for assistance in straighten-
ing out a business difficulty. The Chinese
said that he had made q contract with
johnson to have the name Of the firm print
Sd in black type in the directory. but that
It had not been inserted. The directory
company had also sent Q bill of SIS to the
company for a full-page advertisement,
which the Chinese said had not been pub

tracted for, he claimed.
Detective Bradish looked over the d.
rectory and found that both the firms
name and advertisement were in the book.
The contract made with johnson will have
to be produced by the Chinese in order to
settle the dispute.

Not Discovered Yet-The Experimen
Station Wants More Water

STATION WANTS more water
POMONA, July 20.-Harry Clay, the
young man who was so brutally assaulted
late Saturday night. has recovered suflc-
iently to return to his home at Westmin-
ster. No clue has yet been discovered as to
the positive identity of his assailant. Clay
states that he has made no enemies that he
knows Of who would be likely to seek re-
venge In this way, and 1t evidently was not
for robbery, as nothing was taken from the
house.
Owing to the fact that the wells from
which the experiment station gets its water
supply have fallen lower than ever before,
dua to the exceptionally dry season, bids
are boing considered for well and tank
on the property itself. Considerable water
Is necessary to keep the place up and the
station authorities propose to guard
against the dangers Of shortage in the
future.
Tho sewer committee, appointed some
time ago to investigate and report on a
feasible system for this city are diligently
though unostentatlously working out a
plan which it Is hoped will meet with gen.
eral approval. City Clerk Lee has already
visited Santa Monica and Riverside In
search Of knowledge on behalf Of the city
trustees.
The board Of education met last evening
and decided to tender the office Of prin.
cipal to Prof. Orin O. Scott of tuscaloosa
