Spaniards have reformed their orthog-
raphy. and call the islands Islas Fill

Therefore. IN one OF our initiative

SIR TATToN SYKES HERE.
British Nobleman Who Gained Un-
enviable NotorietY.

AS stated in yesterdays Call, Sir Tat
ton Sykes has arrived in this city from
Monterey and engaged apartments at the
Palace. He Is accompanied by r. Chol-
mondeley and H. Simpson. The party
registered from Mexico, where they were
sojourning previous to going to the
southern part of the State. Sir Tatton
Sykes has the appearance of having
aged to a marked degree since his visit
here four years ago, the result, no doubt,
of the divorce proceedings which he was
obliged to begin against his wife. She
ii was who squandered his lordshlp' s
wealth and involved him in all sorts of
difficulties by her eXtravagant habits.
He has been granted the decree of d.
Yorce and is now making tour of the
world to enable him in a measure to
forget his sorrows. From here the party
will go to the Orient for a protraCted
stay.
Lord Sykes is the possessor of one of
the richest estates in Yorkshire, England.
Some time ago he was sued by an Eng
lish money lender for 10000 on notes
bearing his name. He refused to pay on
the ground that the signatures were for
geries and the suit developed the fact
that his wife caused the forgeries. 1t
created a tremendous sensation when
Lady Sykes on the witness stand adj
mitted having borrowed the money, and
that she had played it all away on the
races She claimed that her husband
was so parsimonious that he would not
advance her money. Friends of the lady
finally paid the debt.

Dan Sheehan Resurrected in the MICK
of Time to Save His Life.

Daniel Sheehan, laborer, while en-
gagged in digging a sewer on De Haro and
Twenty-third streets yesterday forenoon,
had the unpleasant experience of being
buried alive for short time. Sheehan,
with others, who were employed by
contractor in putting in a sewer at the
place mentioned, neglected to shore up
the sides of the eXcavated ditch. This
omission come very near costing Shee-
han his life, as the embankment gave way
and buried him beneath its weight. His
fellow workmen hurried to his assistance
and succeeded in digging him out before
anything more serious occurred to him
than the unpleasant sensation of having
been shut out from the land of the living
for a brief period. AS soon as he was
taken out of his temporary grave he was
hurried off to the City and County Hospi-
tai. where DR.. Roche examined him and
found nothing more serious than badly
lacerated hand and arm, where some
rocks had crushed against the limb.
