We're much more comprehensive than the
extracts furnished to the public, although
most of the expurgated portions which it
was considered advisable to withhold or
military reasons emphasized the COM
pleteness of his triumph and his thorough
ability to maintain his squadron for an
indefinite length of time at Cavite without
the slightest fear Of the Spaniards ashore
causing him any concern. Among other
things he said he captured ten thousand
tons of coal in addition to the three thou
sand he had with him, and this store is
expected to last him several months. He
used up good deal of ammunition,
but little of it was wasted. On the other
hand, the Spaniards used all theirs and
wasted nearly one hundred per cent of it.
He said there was no injury to the YES
sells in his command which he could not
readily repair with the materials, tools and
men he already possessed. In fact, the
only urgent recommendation he made
was for soldiers with which to take pos
session of the city and establish stable
government.

The advice was timely; the pills proved

Marine Matters.

A war risk on shipI. F. Chapman, Capt.
Thompson, from Manila Feb. s, for New
York, with hemp, has been written at
Lloyds in London at 20 guineas per cent.
A cablegram from Capt. Nickels of ship
May Flint, at Kobe, Japan, states that the
ship is now at1oat. She has sustained only
slight damage, there will be no salvage:
The May Flint was scuttled at Kobe to
extinguish the fire on board.
Seamen wages have increased at Bos-
ton recently, owning to the scarcity of
men, and masters of vessels are now
obliged to pay S22 per month, where for
merly they paid only $40 This refers to
vessels engaged in coastwise trade; sailors
for off shore voyages demand considerably
higher wages.
A question has arisen as to whether an
American vessel, if damaged or destroyed
by accidental contact with a submarine
mine in an American harbor would be
covered by war risk. The general opinion
in shipping circles is that losses of such a
character would be considered legiti-
mate part of the war risk by the under
writer's.

An Experiment Worth
Trying.

Those melon growers who
shipped cantaloupe to friends in
the east and adopted the plan of
wrapping each melon in paper aft
er the fashion of the California
peach growers, report that without
exception the melons reached their
destination in good shape and held
up for days afterward. Undoubt-
eddy there is great deal to learn
about marketing this delicious
fruit. The plan of shipping mel
ons, intended for market sale, in
refrigerated cars, certainly seems
foolish, as it stands to reason that
they will not "hold up" long after
being exposed to the hot air. The
better way, according to many in
telligent growers, is to pick the
melons in good season, handle
them MS carefully as peaches or
other fancy fruit, wrap them sepu-
rately and not put more than two
layers in n crate. Following this
plan they can, it is asserted, be
marketed in excellent condition
without refrigeration. = Lamar

otero County Assessment

County Assessor H. w. Ads

of the assessment Of property val
uation in Otero county. The as
sessment of the present yenr is
S2,475,676, as against s2,421 ,475
for the year 1897, an increase of
S54, pol. The railroad assessment,
which is fixed by the state board
of equalization, is $4,000 in ex-
cess Of that of last year, while the
cattle assessment is $4,000 less,
showing considerable falling Off
in the latter industry. The in
crease in the assessment is caused
principally by the number of i'm
provements that have been made
in the county and the increase in
population during the past year.
The increase in property valuation
will amount in round numbers to
nearly 100000. That is very
