the fleets on the ocean, and cannot

It is probable that the censorship
hides the real gravity of the situation
1t is extremely likely that martial law
has been proclaimed in other big
cities. Energetic measures on the
part Of the government, especially if a

the hands Of the military authOri ties

OFFICERS NCITE THE MOB.
LONDON, May "A special from
Madrid, via BayOnne, says: ''In the mob
Monday night were many officers in
multi, who were foremost IN melting
the people to attack the ministers
residences and were lOudest in calling
for cheers for Weyler. There IS no
doubt these men desire to provoke the
government into firing upon the mob,
and so to pave the way for its down.
fall. The republicans were even more
busy than the officers in urging on the
crowd and shouting down with the
queen regent More than once they
led the mob toward the royal palace,
but each time the police drove them

SHOULD USE SALT WATER. Local Merchants Want It for Sprink-
 ling the City's Streets.

At meeting of the Merchants Associa- ton yesterday the subject of sprinkling the streets with salt water was discussed at length, and as Professor Price, the chemist, had presented a report upon the effects of water from the ocean upon pavements and upon the general health of the community it was decided to urgs upon the Board of Supervisors to sprinkle the streets with salt water instead or commendation are set forth In the follow ing communication to the Board of Su- pervisors:
 To the Street Committee of the Honorable Board of Supervisors-Gentlemen: Herewith we beg to sumit for your consideration a report carefully prepared by Messrs Thomas Price & Son upon the effects of fresh and salt water on bitumnous pavements, and the respective value Of each for street sprinkling purposes The fol- lowing conclusions may be summarized from this report:
 First-Water has no harmful effect upon bituminous rock pavement that is properly pre- pared and we'll laid
 Second-There Is no substantial difference in the effect of fresh or salt water upon any bituminous pavement.
 Third-Water has an injurious effect upon bituminous pavements where the bituminous rock is not well mixed or the pavement is not subjected to sufficient pressure
 Fourth-In sanitary point of view fresh water Is inferior to salt water for street sprlnk ling.
 Fifth-Salt water is more economical than fresh water. as less sprinkling will be required
 Sixth-The use of salt water for street sprinkling will not result in Injury to clothine or merchandise in stores.
 In view of the foregoing conclusions would respectfully recommend to your honorable board that salt water be used in sprinkling the public streets of the city.
 Hoping that these recommendations will hay. your early consideration We remain. very

THEATRICALs IN NEW YORK. Ali Ellinghouse Returns From an Extended Visit to the East

You see more evidences of the war in San Francisco than do the people of New York or any Eastern cities" said Ali Ellinghouse last night. There is a greater display of bunting in the East and the bulletin boards attract throngs, but few uniformed men are in evidence"
 MT. Ellinghouse returned yesterday from a three months visit to New York. In that time he saw all the theatrical at- fractions and all the boxing and sport ing exhibitions. He pronounces Way Down East" play on the lines of "Shore Acres" the hit of the season. The prin- cipal role Is taken by Phoebe Davies. The play was written by Mrs. Harry Dale Parker and J. R.

 Mccoy, MT, Ellinghouse says, Is footwork. He is about sharkey's height, but not so heavily mus cled. He Is hard puncher and would make a good match with Choyn- ski. The receipts of the McCoy-Ruhlin fight were but S4100 It is estimated they would draw SEQ, 900 here.

MONEY GOES
 ID GERMANY State Cannot Collect in the Roth Case.
DIED IN AN INSANE ASYLUM
LEFT AN ESTATE THAT IS
 PROOF AGAINST CLAIM.
Many Other Suits of a Similar Nature Are Pending in Different Courts in the
 State.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

9GS Broadway, June 29.
 Judge Ellsworth decided a case this morning upon which many other suits in different parts of the State are hanging. In the estate of Jacob Roth deceased. the court declared that the State of California could not collect its claim, as it had not presented 1t within the time allowed by law.
 Roth died in an asylum four or five years ago. He had been confined for nearly seven years and no one knew that he had any estate. Some years after his death a clerk in a German savings insti- tuition named Feehan applied for letters of administration. They were granted him in this county, and he inserted the usual notices to creditors, but no cred itors appeared. Feehan communicated with sister of Roth who resides in Germany and obtained from her a power of attorney Armed with this document he applied to the court to settle and dis tribute the estate.
 When he made this application the State Hospital authorities learned that Roth had died worth some money, and at once put in a claim against the estate for $1366 The law requires that according to the size of the estate all demands against it other than such claims as taxes must be made in from four to ten months. In the case of Roth four months was the limit.
 Attorney Darwin c. de Golia, who ap- peared for the asylum authorities this morning, argued that the State being a creditor was entitled to the same, priv ileges as would be granted should the de- mand be for taxes. Judge Ellsworth de- cided that such a condition was not ap- plicable in this case, as Roths transaction with the State was in the nature of an ordinary contract. His money will there fore go to Germany and the State of Cali fornia will not receive a cent for caring for Roth seven years.
