When the Japanese decree of neutrality
is issued, there is a strong hope. based
upon reliable information. that it will.
contain what is known as q 'hospitable
coal clause" This would afford ample
facilities to warships to lay in necessary
coal at Japanese ports to carry them to
the next home port. While the privilege
could he enjoyed by Spain as well as
the United States, yet the effect would be
of distinct advantage to the United
States as it is in Asiatic waters that the

that the department will wait to hear

HE KNOWS MANILA.
New York Roundsman will Serve in
War.

New York, May 5.-ROundsman Pat
rick A. Meehan of the Brooklyn bicycle
squad has received permission from the
police commissioners to serve in the war.
He served for two periods in the navy
and was one of the most expert gunners.
Meehan has been often in the harbor
Of Manila. He said in regard to the re-
cent engagement between the ships
of Admiral Dewey and the Spanish
fleet: The greatest miracle of it all, to
me, is the wonderful manseuvring Of
the vessels in the inner harbor. The
water there is very shallow. 1t re-
uuires an expert to navigate the treach-
erous waters. The Americans must
have had some insurgents on board who
knew the harbor well. and We're able
to locate the shoals. These shoals are
more dangerous to Il vessel of the tom
mage of Il cruiser than batteries or tor
pedoes. With all that Dewey had to
contend against, it is really wonderful
what he did. The Spanish vessels stood
still because they had no expert pilots,
and besides that they could not ma

CG.J
Pennington, Nov. 23.-David Jones of
South Weber has commenced suit in the
Second district court to recover damages
done to his farm by the seepage and
percolation of water from the Davis &
Weber Counties Canal cOmpany's canal.
below the canal and he alleges in his
complaint that where once he could
produce sixty bushels of wheat per acre.
today there is a lake of water from
six inches to four feet in depth. This
condition has existed since April, 1886, to
his injury in the sum of $500. The an
noyance of having the lake on his prem
ises, Mr.. Jones says, is worth $50. He
asks judgment for $780, and prays that
defendants be restrained from maintain
ing its canal in such a condition.
The defendants have filed a demurrer to
the COMPLAINT. in which they assert that
there are not facts sufficient to constitute
a cause of action. Hearing on the de-
murrer will be had before Judge Rolapp
next Saturday.
John Weaver of Layton is suing the
Rio Grande Western Railway company
for $780, with interest from July $685. and
costs of suit for a loss sustained by
as he alleges, by the care1essness of rail-
road employees, and by the company
locomotives. The company in its answer
denies that it is legally responsible for
the loss, though admitting that some
grain was destroyed, the amount of which
it has no means of ,ascertaining.
The November term of the Second dis
trict court will open here on Saturday.
