consequently every inducement to keep

Tho real estate record of 1897
for the city and county of San
Francisco shows that 32l5 sales
were recorded during the year, ag-
gregating $12.9oS,025. The showing made
by Los Angeles county for the same period
is 1859 sales, aggregatlng $40, ,462. The
remarkable part of this comparison Is not
that the total amounts of the sales are
so greatly in favor of Los Angeles when
the disparity in population is taken into
consideration, but the activity in the local
market is apparent from the fact that
1869 transactions took place here, each
pne involving a search of title, the draw

The bombardment which was tC
have begun at noon today was post
poned because Sampson will first be
required to force the harbor, and
Skaters troops, it is thought, will be
benefited by few days rest. Nc

son to hold a conference today to lay
plans for the future.
While the Spanish fleet has been
destroyed, the harbor is still we'll pro-
tected by mines and forts. Speaking OF
the necessity of giving Skaters troops
a chance to recuperate from their ter
rible experience of last week, Secretary
been as many men disabled through ex-
haustion and sunstroke as had suffered
from the casualties of war.
The secretary said that reinforce
ments will be rushed forward just a.
rapidly as boats can be provided for
that purpose. Four great auxiliary
cruisers leave this week with troops,
and other transports will be got into
service as rapidly as possible.
