KINGSTON, Jamaica, June %,
II p. m.-The Spanish consul here
has received a cablegram from
Santiago de Cuba, asserting that
the United States armored cruiser
Brooklyn was struck by Spanish
she'll, which sank the vessel and
killed Commodore Schley and
twenty-four seamen. The consul
really believes the news" and the
Spaniards all over the city are
drinking champagne and rejoicing.
1t has also been reported to the
Spanish consul from Santiago that
an extensive mine has been laid
which will blow up half the Aineri-
can army when it enters the city.
WASHINGTON, June 3o--At Ills o'clock
this morning, when officers on duty at the
Navy Department were shown a copy of the
above dispatch, they expressed disbelief in
the story. Not a word has been received
from Admiral Sampson, they said. since
Tuesday night, and the officers regard it as
certain that had anything Of the kind re-
counted in the dispatch happened the admir-

partment.

NEITHER SIDE SATISFIED.
JURY GIVES \ LAND COMPANY DAM
AGES FOR CANAL PROPERTY.
Company Demanded Over sixty
thousand. County Wanted to Pay
Hut fonr Thousa nd. and the Jury

y jury in the superior court yesterday
brought n verdict in favor Of the Smith
Cove Land aud improvement Company
for sees Tor damages resulting from the
Appropriation oG land for tbs construction
OF the North canal.
This Is by long odds the most importan:
OF the cases to be tried under the canal
condemnation proceedings. The defendant
owner OF the land in question demanded
so, s59 for the land taken and damages
that would DC done to other land by the
building or the canal. The county offer,,d
TO pay the defendant Ss.453 in full settle
ment Of the claim. Dus the offer Was re-
fused.
One thing has been made very plain hy
the verdict and by the testimony offered
in the case under discussion. and that is
that there is a wide divergence OF opinion
between the representatives, OF the county
and those of The land owners concerning
the value OF the lands affected by the con-
domination suits. For instance. City En-
ginecr Thomson. one OF the chief witness
es for the defendant. swore that the land
10 be appropriated Tor rigEt-of-way for
the canal was worth. at 4 fair and reason
able valuation. $2.0o per acre. The lan3
involved in this suit is perhaps the most
Nalua BILE property affected by the coaieul-
nation proceedings. Eight and cne-half
acres are required for the rishs-ot-way.
and in addition a tract aggregating 4
trifie over twenty acres and 100 lots VIII
lie submerged when the canal IS built.
The one hundred lets are covered by the
right-of-way occupied by the Seattle x
Internationa! and Seattle * Montana rail-
ways When suit In condemnation was
instituted by the county. the Smith Cove
its attorneys, demanded damages in the
sum OF S60S5
The claim was stubbornly fought by
Prosecuting Attorney McElroy and Den
uty John 3, Hart. The county officials
put il OH the ground that If every claim
ant under the condemnation suits was 10
assess his damages as did the Smith Cove
Land Company. the county would be
called on ultimately to put up an enormous
sum for damages. George Donworth
handled the case for the land company
and in none OF the condemnation suits
that have been tried heretofore has there
been such a display OF aggressiveness on
both sides as in the present case. The
county's legal representatives, arfaigncd
the testimony of City Engineer thomson.
declaring that n valuation Of $500 per acre
was out or all proportion 10 the real worth
of the property.
The amount Of the verdict is less than
one-sixth the sum demanded by the land
owners, and is twice what the county o.
fercd to pay. Il is therefore satisfactory
to neither OF the parties AZ interest, AMI
in all probability an appeal VIII be taken.

PATRIOTISM.

Judge E. w. Conmy is in the field for
denomination as county judge. 1t is said
there will be opposition in the conven-
ton and times are liable to be lively
when the nomination comes up
4 4 Silly fabrications are be-
ing used against him by certain few
who might be in better business, because
even if true, who can blame an Ameri-
can for being a thorough American-and
especially on the day set apart for the
purpose Of glorifying the dead heroes of
the war of 186O.65? No one but the SYM
pathizers with foreign government and
foreign laws. Ifthe only thing that can
be said of Judge Conmy is that he is
patriotic to an intense degree, those
who malign him could be indeed be in
better business.-Walhalla Mountaineer.
According to the Mountaineer, to hate
and tear down the English flag, is in this
country an evidence of intense American
patriotism. We know that in some parts
of Ireland some years ago and to some
extent still, to be an Irish patriot it was
necessary to hate everything English to
the death. But those same Irish claim
ed that the English hated Ireland. Now
if an Irishman makes an intense" Ameri-
can patriot of himself by insulting the
English flag in this country, why cannot
the English born citizen also make him
self intensely American by insulting the
Irishman? The Mountaineer has a diff
ferent rule though, and that is, since the
lrishman was patriotic, hence all English
and Canadian born citizens in order to
be like patriotic should endorse the I'M
provoked insult to the flag Of their faith
ers by voting for the Irishman to hold
fat office. Perhaps they will, but we
think that their loyalty to the American
flag, will be shown by their disapproval
of such lawless and wanton insult to the
flag of a friendly nation, and particularly
to that flag under which they were born,
and which they still regard with respect.
The act Of tearing the English flag to
tatters on Decoration Day, was an act of
war, declaration of enmity, for which
no apology has ever been made, nor for
giveness asked, and was committed
against all who do not share the fanati-
cal opinions of the Office holder and Of
flee seeker who did the lawless and un-
provoked act. Perhaps, man who has
publicly shown that lie is governed by
motives of intense hate, and subject to
violent passion, is proper person to
hold Office as county judge, but we
doubt If that would be or will be the pub
lie verdict. He who would govern
should first learn to govern himself. Can
a man with such intense prejudices be a
fair and impartial judge?

THE PRIMARY BILL.

The proposed law for primary elections,
printed elsewhere in this issue, is but
putting into statute, much of what is now
already the law of custom, and so far is
so good. Caucuses ought to be recog-
nized and legalized by the statute, but il
they are, the statute should be made
much more explicit than the proposed
law, to be fully effective. One difficulty
in drafting laws is to provide for all en-
ergencies. Two principal difficulties are
found under our present system or want
of system. First contests, second colon
ization. Contests very often occur by
informalities of the calls. The proposed
law, takes some note OF this, that (sup-
posed!y by section nine) the chairman of
the party committee is to make the call.
But suppose he don't make the call.
or makes it irregularly etc., that appar-
emily disfranchises the precinct. Again,
our experience is, that the chairman of
the township committee, especially in
the country districts. IS hard man to
find after his previous two years appoint-
ment has intervened. Sometimes he
dies. sometimes he moves, sometimes he
changes opinions. and often, very often,
he himself forgets he holds that impor-
tant Office. Itlooks to US as though the
law should provide an additional means
of calling caucus, il the chairman for
any reason tails; and further. that the
chairman should be compelled to make
the call early enough. SO that in case Of
failure, say, any five or seven members
of the party might call the caucus a1d
still be in time for the convention.
