tense interest and enthusiasm over the
victory OF Commodore Dewey In the
Philippines continued this morning in
the fleet, but there was an anxiety to
know something OF the American losses.
1t was q source OF generalization,
based upon the meagre details received.
that the American gunners had proved
their superiority. and 1t Is confidently
expected they will win every naval bat
tie OF the war. 1t may have been be-
cause OF this self congratulation that
the ships Of the squadron at gun practice
this morning showed phenomenal skill
In hitting the small. bobbing targets.
The t~hlrteen-inch guns OF the Massa-
chtsetts and the twelve-inch guns on
the Texas swung around at all sorts Of
remarkable angles and placed shot In
and all around their targets, while the
smaller guns did equally good work.
The eight eight-inch guns Of the
Brooklyn proved veritable destroyers as
the tur-ets swung, quickly to given
points and the five-inch rapid fire and
Six Founders put shot after shot In the
small target. A noteworthy feature OF
the shooting was that every man at the
guns acted as sighting gunner and this
in M way d~eteriorated from the splen-
did craftsmanship.

ADMIRAL WALKER
Enthusiastic Over Naval Achievements at

M~nntln-cape Verde Fleet.
WASHINGTON. May a.-Rear Ad-
mlral John G. Walker, retired. president
OF the Nicaragua canal commission, is
very enthusiastic over the magnificent
victory achieved by United States naval
forces under Commodore Dewey at Ma
Mia. and says 1t was what might have
been expected from the character OF the
officers and men composing the expedt-
ton. =.
What interests American naval off,
GERS most just at present" said he. lis
the whereabouts OF the powerful Span
ish fleet which recently left the Cape
Verde islands. Although they may be
destined for Cuba or Porto Rico, Il
would not surprise me II their real pur-
pose was to go further south and at
tempt TO intercept the battleshlp Oregon
and the gunboat Marietta. which were
last reported at Rio de Janeiro, bound
for the United States. In case Of such a
meeting 1t might possibly so hard with
the American vessels. because OF the
numerical superiority Of the Spaniards.
Their fleet consists Of four first-class
armored cruisers. which are practically
battieships and three torpedo boa. de-
stroyers. Although the Oregon ard the
Marietta undoubtedly would give them
a hard and desperate battle. they would
hardly be able to overcome the numeri-
cal advantages of their adversaries. AL
though 1 have no information on the
subject. I take It for granted that IN
pie measures will be adapted for the
protection OF the two wal ships in Bra
lillian waters now on their way TO Key
West. The Spanlard5 have Undoubtedly
become desperate and soon will have
TO do something to prup UP their So
called honor and say the fast falling
dynasty. For t::sse reasons I think 1t
is fair to assume that the Spanish navy
will undertake some bold movement in
the near future"

The Electric Fan Is Better Above You

Electric fans have probably come to
stay" remarked an electrician, land
though they are decidedly pleasant to
many during stuffy and very warm
weather, there are some things about them
that are not thoroughly enjoyable, as far
as after effects are concerned. My expert
ence is that persons should not sit for any
long time in the direct draft of them, es-
pecialty If they are sensitive to draughts.
1t may not always feel SO, but the fan is
just as cooling If the wind produced by 1t
does not strike you directly. Better have
it strike you from either side, however,
than full in the face or back, and especially
avoid having it play on the back of your
neck. People who are suffering from neu-
ralgia have found this out for themselves.
There is a popularity about electric fans,
and that is that persons sitting SO the wind
plays on them directly in nine cases out
of ten will have slight attack of sneezing
the moment they go out in the open air.
The fans in the stores that paddle the
breeze over the head of the customers do
much less damage than the wheels that
shoot the air directly at you. If the cir
culation is above the head 1t Is better than
If it is on the level of your head."-Wash-

The population of Mexico is 1858, 949
registered since 1890.
One hundred and fifty patents were is

airy societies.
Seven hundred and sixty-two kilome-
tiers of railroad were built during the
year, making the total length for the
republic 1857 kilometers.
The value of the gold, silver and copper
coined by Mexico during the last seven
teen years averages about $26,000,000 a
year, quite evenly distributed during this
period.
There are 531 periodicals published In
Mexico. Forty-eight are daily newspa-
pers, 1923 are weeklies and so are pub
lished monthly. Seven are printed in
English, two In French and one in Ger
man.

onists, and twenty-one colonies estab-
lished by companies or authorized per-
sons, with colonists numbering over 1000.

ANEW TURN ON CHICAGO BOARD
OF TRADE
Gamblers Tackle an Oily Customer but
the Bears Manage to Make the
Deal Stick

CHICAGO, July 2S.-The secretary of the
National Linseed OIL company has notified
the board Of trade to transfer to Albert
Dickinson at SO cents all the company's open
iaxseed trades. The market afterthe trans
fers had been made rallied to So cents, show
Ing considerable strength, and closed at IS
cents. 1t is said that over soc, 900 bushels of
f!axseed changed hands. Persons inter-
ested particularly and otherwise called at
the office Of President Easton for informa.
ton.
He said to the Associated Press: There
Is no change at this time in the affairs or
the financial condition of the company to
warrant the rumors which have been circu-
lated that the company is going into tina
hands Of a receiver. The company has no
past due paper and it's losses on the seed
market have been largely exaggerated. A.
this date and at the present market prices
its quick assets are sufficient to pay for it's
liabilities"
The company has an authorized capital of
SIS 900. According to statements said to
have been made by President Euston to bro
kers, 1.-The company was short of cash for
| margins owing to the slump in the price OF
| fiaxseed, but would be in funds shortly, SO
that the closing of the trades would not in
terfere with its operations in any way what
ever. The price of fiaxseed was really be-
low the cost of productions. A large amount
had been sold within a short time at from
BLOB to $1.05, and the company would prob
ably be in the market very soon for the cash
flax at 81.
1t is understood that the banks Of Chicago
have loaned the company from $4,000 to
$500, 900 on warehouse receipts, at about 80
cents, and are hence amply secured. None
of this seed has been sold doubtless, as one
banker said, because they did not wish to
take advantage fthe company's temporary
embarrassment.
