 The discrepancy between the prices of yiolets by the street vendors and those sold in florists stores is appar- ently not warranted by any difference in the flowers themselves. Large and fresh punches of the beautiful and pop ular poses can be purchased on the pavement for 25 to 50 cents. Inside they sell for 75 cents to $1. The street

robbery was conducted. On one Oc- casion, he said, he had ordered a dozen cans of cove oysters worth $1.40. Smith brought him case containing four dozen cans. Sang Lung did not want so many, but took them at $2.75.
 On another occasion Smith deliv- cred a can of lard at half the whole sale price. A case of Durham smoking tobacco worth S13.50 was sold for S10 Sang Lung had evidently bought sev- eral cases, for the discovery of the robbery grew out his sale of a case each to the Kessier-Boyle company and the Barkley-Berryman company at less than the wholesale price. In some instances Smith delivered the goods ordered by Sang Lung, only increasing 2 the amount In other cases he deliv- cred goods which had not been ordered at all.

THE STRAY LIST.
How the Stockman Keeps Things in a
 State of Confusion.

Editor Republican, Sir: This office is tired of writing letters like the one below. There is not a day passes but that we have three or four letters in the mail from parties asking about strays advertised in the Stockman and which have been paid months ago. We have repeatedly urged upon MT. Pugh the injustice he is doing the cattlemen, to say nothing of the trou- ble he is causing us, but he does not appear to care much whether he pub fishes an up-to-date paper or not so far as this list goes.
 Will you kindly call the attention of your readers to this matter and ad- wise them that the stray list as pub lished in the Stockman is unreliable and Of no account? Yours

THE COMPANY OF COLONIES.
An Unexpected Obstacle Present:
 Itself

Acting upon the suggestion of The Republican yesterday morning, MT. George W. Hoadley opened a recruit ing station in the offices of Hoadley, Turnbull & Co.,, for the organization of company of col onels for service in the war with Spain. At 3:15 D. m. the following gentlemen had been enrolled: Colonel William Christy, Colonel c. w. John stone, Colonel F. c. Hatch. Colonel Jerry Millay, Colonel J. c. Adams, Colonel w. J. Cotton. Colonel Thomas A. Orr Colonel J. w. Evans. Colonel J. M. Rountree Colonel P. P Parker, Colonel H. F. Stroud Colonel Wini- fred Wiley, Colonel W. H. Robinson. Colonel c. H. Gray, Colonel H. E. Byler, Colonel Frank Cox, Colonel B. J. Franklin, Colonel J. Roe Young. Colonel Joseph Campbell and Colonel Ad Parish. The list might have been considerably heightened, but MT. Hoadley unfortunately opened the rolls on the day when the Kentucky society was in session, su that a large number of colonels were unable to reach the recruiting office until night fall. But an unexpected obstacle has been presented, though it might have been foreseen. It will be difficult to officer the company, whose command ing officer is captain. No colonel will willingly reduce his grade by accepting the command. It will be of course much more difficult to induce the colonels to leave the ranks to take inferior posi- tions of first and second lieutenants, sergeants and corporals. MT. Hoadley believes, though, that he can see the way partly out of this difficulty. So far all the members of the company are from Phoenix and the town hasn't been half canvassed. In fact, it hasn t been carvassed at all. All these twenty-two gentlemen have signed the roll without any solicitation what ever. A thorough canvass of the town, MT. Hoadley believes, will disclose enough colonels to fill a regiment He thinks that by taking in the other towns of the territory he can muster a brigade. By the time that is done the Kentucky society organized yes- terday will be in full blast He will borrow the list of membership and paste it on the bottom Of his muster roll. He will thus be enabled to form a division, if not a whole army corps. Then generals. division generals, gen. erals of brigades, etc., will be needed In this way some of the colonels can be induced to leave the ranks. Still there will be those minor and unim- portant offices, majors captains lieu tenants, etc. It may be necessary to admit a few private citizens into the organization to fill them. If they per- form their duties valorously they may be promoted tO the ranks and become colonels.

SOUGHT REFUGE IN YUMA.
He Was in Dread of Justice on the
 Mexican Side.

United States Attorney Morrison re- turned yesterday morning from Tue son, where he with Assistant United States Attorney Franklin have been looking after federal matters before the grand jury. There were several prisoners charged with smuggling. All were indicted and all but one pleaded guilty The trial jury will be impan- eled Monday, when MT. Morrison will return to Tucson. There was funny Incident in court on Friday. Among the defendants was Mexican resident of the territory named Isadora Ybarra who had been arrested for smuggling two horses and black mule into the territory from Mexico. He was ar rested and put into jail at Tombstone. It was subsequently learned that the horses and mule had been stolen from Captain Cayatano Moline of the gen. d'armerie. Captain Molino and a party of Mexican officers went to Tombstone to identify the stolen prop erty and while they were there Cap tain Moline said he would like to see the thief. The officers waited in the sherifs office for the jailor to bring Ybarra. in. Ybarra until this time, like most of his countrymen, had pro- fessed an ignorance of the English language. but now he acquired it in- stantly. He knew the officers were there and he was apprehensive. He asked the jailor what was go- ing to be done with him. They've come to take you back to Mexico" re- piled the iailor "Oh! my God!" cried Ybarra. "Do you know they'll kill me? They'll torture me! l don't be- long in Mexico. I'm a smuggler. srnuggled this stock over and knew il was 8 crime. Send me to Yuma. Send me to hell, anywhere, but don't let Captain Moline have me-" Ybarra' $ apprehensions were not unfounded The crime of robbing a Mexican of ffcer is capital offense-
 When Ybarra was indicted and was brought into court on Friday to plead he was asked if he wanted a lawyer No he replied eagerly, looking at Captain Moline who sat In the court room. Then he was asked how he would plead. Ybarra did not under stand Guilty or not guilty?" said the clerk. "Ohi" cried Ybarra; <'Culpa, Guilty, Guilty" and he looked at Captain Molino again and shiyered.

IN DISTRICT COURT.
Several Matters of More Than Ordi
 nary Importance Heard.

During the law day session of dis trict court yesterday Judge Baker, for the plaintiff, filed a motion for a new trial in the case of Seass vs. Zech, in which judgment had been rendered for the defendant a week ago dissolving an injunction restraining the defend ant from filling a certain ditch. The injunction, however, was extended until yesterday, but in the meantime the defendant, disregarding the ex- tension, proceeded to fill the ditch. That induced the contempt of court proceedings of last week.
 The motion for a new trial was de- nied and notice of appeal was given. Judge Baker then submitted a motion to fix the amount of a supersedeas bond and for the maintenance of the injunction pending the appeal. Judge Baker in ds argument on the motion took the ground that the appeal pre- verf ad the court from interference WlIa tae insCnctIon of any other matter connected with the case at the time the appeal was aken.

blehead this afternoon
1t appears that Col Vincente de Cortigo,
of the Third Spanish Cavalry, who, with
nineteen other army Officers, was taken on
the prize, is a brother-in-law of Lieut..
Gen. Valeriano Weyler.
Col. Decortijo and the other officers were
transferred 10 the Guido, and the privates
to the Ambrosio Bolivar. two other tro-
plies of the first week of the war, which
are still lying in the harbor.
The Argonauta, herself is no mean prize,
being of a thousand ton burden, but the
value of the capture hes mainly in the
prisoners of war, and the mail matter go
ing to Gen. Blanco.
Her cargo is general merchandise, with
a large quantity of arms and ammunition
intended for the Spanish troops in Cuba.
The only other incoming prize to-day was
the little fishing schooner Antonio, taken
by the gUnboat Newport off Mariel yester
day. and towed in by the gunboat Castine.
The Castine has proved her prowess as
well as the more redoubtable ships of the
squadron. AT O'Clock Sunday morning
she went into Cabanas and anchored only
about a mile from the Notifications, which
are a sort of composite fort and block
house. Then she sent her steam cutter in
about a haf-mile until it was within
thousand yards of it, The cutter made
soundings and observations for half an
hour, after which she returned to the ship
unmoiested. A number Of persons were
clearly observed about the fort They
watched the operations with the apparent
interest, but offered no hostile opposition.
Two unfortunate accidents have occurred
during the last few days. While the flag
ship New York was lying al MatanZas, a
sergeant of marines dropped his pistol,
which exploded, the bullet striking Wnham
Taylor first-class apprentice, and passing
through his stomach and lungs. Taylor's
condition is serious, but he has chance
for recovery.
This morning while the crew of the
cruiser Cincinnati were drilling in the
harbor a ball got mixed with dummy car
tridges and j. Scomex, gunner's mate,
was shot through the jaw.
The $50 marines who arrived on the Pan
ther few days ago will be transferred
TO the Resolute, which is expected shortly
from New York. The Panther will then
be made an auxiliary cruiser.
Inc the party of Cubans who left here
last night for Tampa to join the regulars
and move with them to Cuba was one
American who will take a prominent
part in the islands struggle for freedom.
He is Louis W. Mohun of Washington,

FoREIGNERs IN OUR NAVY.
No sailors More Loyal to Uncle Sam
AnOat.


washington Letter in New York Sun.
The question has often been asked
whether In the vent Of war between this
country and a European power the large
number Of foreigners who wear enlisted
mems uniforms In the United States navy
would fight zealously for the country
maintaining them. 1t was pretty salts
factorily answered by the conduct OF the
foreigners Oh board American men-of-war
at the time of the Venezuela excitement.
The foreigners up forward on the ships
were just as greedy for fight as the native
born Americans. 1t was not simply that
these foreign blue-jackets wanted to get
a crack at England for there were scores
of Engiishmen In the bluejacket uniform
of Uncle Sam who we're just as genuinely
anxious TO get within hitting distance of
the enemy in case Of a war as their Amer
lean shipmates. One does not have 40
seek very far for a reason for this senti-
ment among the foreigners In the United
States naval service. The reason Is that
they are DESTROYS Of showing their graft
tude TO a country that treats them well.
About nine-tenths Of the men of foreign
birth serving in the United States navy
have put in one or more enlstments In the
navy OF their own country before entering
the American sea service, and when they
contrast the severe, skinny, and unneces-
sarily harsh treatment they endured In
the naval service of their own country
with the liberal and just treatment they
receive In the navy of the United States
and the foreigners are perpetually draw
ing this contrast In conversation among
themselves and with their American ship
mates--they are genuinely grateful, and
this gratitude fills them with desire TO
have their loyalty to the flag Of the re-
pulic put-to the test.
Besides being obliged 10 take the oath of
allegiance, men of foreign birth applying
for admission to the naval service of the
United States are asked the question
whether in case Of war between the Unit
ed States and the country Of their birth,
they would fight unhestaungly and zeal
ously for the United States. They ore,
as a matter of course. required by the re-
eruiting officers to make positive affirm
