PONTOONS.
The Soil of Cuba Such as to Render
 Them Necessary.
and navy,

Washington, April 2S.-General Will son, chief of engineers, has issued or ders to hurry the preparation of the pontoon bridge train at the military academy, West Point, for use in ac- tive military operations in Cuba. The pontons will undoubtedly be of much use in the island, especially during the rainy season which has just about opsned, and the train which will be equipped by the engineer division and sent to Cuba will greatly facilitate the movements of the troops.
 Such information as the war de partment has been able to obtain from persons familiar with the vicissitudes of the Cuban climate has lead them to believe that the proposed pack trains are about the only available means for the transportation of sup plies to an army in the field in Cuba.
 The regular Quartermaster's trains are fine four-whee1ed wagons, drawn by from six to eight mules, and would, it is said, be absolutely useless in Cuba during the rainy season, though they may be availed of after that, should the war last that long, The reason is that "the bottom drops out of the roads," as they say in the west, in the rainy seasons in Cuba, and it is not possible in most cases to move anything with wheels. Outside of the roads the ground is SO saturated with the daily rains as to be spongy and unsuitable for the passage of wheeled vehicles. It is considerations of this kind that has lead the department to adopt the method of following cam palgns in the mountainous regions of the west, and form pack trains for the transportation of military Sunnlfes

be that as result of an agreement be- tween Spain and the United States de- cided through. the medium of the French Government that the protocol referring to the evacuation of Cuba would be carried out without molesta- tion on the part of American men-of- war.
 Rear Admiral Dewey would send his vessels to destroy the Spanish fortifi- cations at Iloilo, troops would be trans ported to that. point and the city would be occupied. With the fall of this point the last Spanish stronghold in the Phil ippines would have disappeared, and 1t would be an easy task to station troops among the various islands to protect American interests. Besides the Philip pines American men-Of-War would also hoist the flag over the Carolines.
 It will be impossible for Spain to pre- vent the United States from carrying out its will either in the Atlantic or in the far east. In expectation of the ar rival of the German Emperor and for the purpose of impressing him as well as the people of Spain with the size of the remnant of the Spanish navy. Adj miral Camara has been directed to mobilize his ships at Cadiz. There are now at that point the battleship Pelayo, armored cruiser Carlos V, protected cruiser Alfonso XIII. the reconstructed battleships Numancia and Vittoria, be- sides torpedo boat cruisers and tor pedo boats. Tn the Philippines Spain has several small gunboats and one auxiliary cruiser. the Buenos Ayres.
 Since the war the Spanish Govern ment has done nothing toward coktplet ing the armored cruisers of the As turias class which are under construc- tion. her neglect being due to lack of funds. It Is because she has no money and because of her total unprepared- ness for war that the authorities do not believe tonight that there will be a resumption of hostilities. and it is on account of this belief that no extensive preparations or plans are being made.

Polk Street Merchants Want a B1- tumen Pavement on Their
 Thoroughfare.

Polk street merchants are Clamortng for bitumen pavement. L. H. Kohn, lead ing merchant on that thorUughfare, said yesterdayi
 AS one of the board of directors of the Polk-street Progress Club I unhesitatfng- ly say we do not want cobblestones any longer on our street It is time Polk street advanced from the era of cobblestone pavements to d modern pavement of bitu- men. Our street, the merchants doing business on 1t, and the property owners were the first to place electric lights on the streets; an example that had been fol- lowed by almost all the business centerS or the city, until at last the Supervisors made provision In the present appropria- uon Tor this system of illumination.
 II am in favor of bitumen from Sutter to Lombard street any way, and if the street was repaved to Market it would be all the better"
 Kohn's expressions are shared in by every member of the new club, which has been recently started on the foupdation of the old improvement Club. Following on the, lines of this improvement, the club will also petition the Supervisors to have Polk street graded to the bay. Another grievance which will receive the atten- ton of the club is that of lights The majority of the merchants complain that their bills for electric lights are twice as much as is charged in other portions of the city.

Investors Fearful That the $3Oo,OoO Judgment Will Melt Away and Leave Nothing
 for Them.

When, at the end of seven years litiga- tion, with all its dips, spurs and angles, over $500 900 was paid by defendants into court the fore part of this month to sat tsfy the Hale & Norcross judgment the stockholders indulged in the high hope that something was at last coming to them. As between $6 and g a share has been levied and collected. on the stock by way of assessments since the suit was be- gun it has not been very profitable turn for those who got in early.
 The receiver, J. J.. Groom having failed to give his bond for $50 900. Banker He'll man kindly came to his relief upon condi- tion that the money should be deposited in the Union Trust Company. A diStTbu- tion of the money then seemed to be in order. The judgment provided for a fee of 25 per cent of the amount to Attorney as the stockholders cheerfully recognized his right to this allowance for long, faith ful and valuable services. This left some S225 900 in the hands of the receiver.
 The Grayson board (Grayson being claimed to be another name for Hayward then anplied to the court to have this was talked on the street that a dividend of $1 to the stockholders was all that was to be expected. To this the Fox and Bag gett board objected, also large majority of the stockholders, who were very sus- picious of the Grayson board.
 A meeting of the stockholders was held than two-thirds of the whole stock was represented A resolution was passed de- manding a dividend of $1 50 a share. also recognizing the Fox board and expressing confidence In it. As $1 50 dividend was only about 50 per cent of the Judgment. the demand of the stockholders for that amount can hardly be considered extor- donate.
 About the time of this meeting Judge Hebbard, without notice to anybody. made an order allowing Receiver Groom s5000 and his attorneys, Lindley &s Eickhoff the same amount, on account to that date As the services of the receiver up to that time only consisted in paying Mir.

TIE VOTE FOR TREASURER.
Interesting Complication in Santa
 Clara County,

SAN JOSE, Nov. 21.-Jus. who will be given a certificate of election for the office of County Treasurer Is puzzling the people of this city and county. The can vass of election returns by the Board of Supervisors gave E. w. Conant, Good Government League and Democratic nominee, majority of one over Joseph Lotz, gang Republican.
 Just before the official vote was an- nounced to-day Lotz appeared before the board and asked that the vote for Treas urer he recanvassed This was readily agreed to, all the Supervisors voting aye except Roll. Lotz claimed that Tn Berry essa an extra vote had been counted Tor Conant. He said the tally sheet shoWed in one place a block of four votes instead of five In order to decide this the tally sheet in the hands of the inspector at Berryessa was sent for. When H1ghland precinct was reached it was found that I,otZ had one more vote than was count ed. This was given him and made ms vote a tie with Conant. The Highland tally sheet kept by the inspector has also
 Ali kinds of rumors are current on the streets tonight. One is that the SuperVl- sors are attempting to count LotZ in, and another that they will make the vote a tie and have another election for Treasurer, as the gang is afraid that a contest for the office may disclose fraud. The Supervisors are being openly criti- cized for their action in the matter.
 The vote for County Treasurer has turns on their face showed that Conant was elected by sixteen votes, and Lotz conceded his defeat. The official can vass changed ten votes in Fucker pre- cinct to Lotz, and in another five were taken from Conant. This left Conant one ahead of LotZ. The recanYass to-day has made them tie, and LotZ's friends are relying on Berryessa precinct to put him one ahead.
 It is hard to understand how the extra vote in Highland escaped attention in the first official canvass: That place gave one more. After 1t was canvassed the and fifteen or twenty persons saw it. The Berryessa tally sheet sent for gives Co., nant 93, Lotz 96. This IS the same as the excuse arises in the count of other pre- cincts to give Lotz another vote it will remain a tie. and another election will

SKIPBUILDERS SAID TO

Union Iron Works Alleged to Have Been Represented at Meet
 ing for This Purpose.


 wAS1 -INGTON, Nov 21.-An Ameri- can shipbuilders' trust Is already loom ing up as 8 result of the war with Spain. The Navy Department had a strong intimation from the shipbuild- CTS recently that stiffer prices will pre- vail in future, and an unmistakable in- dication of what Is in store has been disclosed at meeting held in New York several days ago, when the repre- sentatives of firms which have contracts for the obsolete and discredited type or single turret monitors practically pooled their interests and determined. figuratively speaking, to put screws on the Government before they got through with the job.
 It is the understanding here that those who took part in the meeting were Henry T. Scott of the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, contractors for the Wyoming; Superintendent Hans com of the Bath Shipbuilding Works, contractors for the Come icut; Lewis Nixon of Elizabeth, N. J., contractors for the Florida, and an official of the Newport News Company, contractor for the Arkansas.
 MT. Scott and MT. Hanscom were in Washington to-day and are to appear with MT. Nixon and probably Superin- tendent Post of the Newport NeWsCom- pany before the Naval Bureau chiefs at a special meeting of the board of construction tomorrow morning, to reply to questions raised by the Navy Department in relation to the possi- bility of getting decent warships Of the monitor type within the limits of the Congressional appropriation.
