What the Admiral Intended to Say
Concerning the Loss of His Men

WASHINGTON. April 19.-The Navy De-
partment having requested correction of
the portions OF Admiral Dewey's dispatch
Of yesterday. which were not decipherable
was to-day able to furnish the full text of
the dispatch. which is as follows:

pose gs,,of OF . .lsscuing ana bringing away the

The officials OF the Navy Department are
considering that such of the men OF the
Yorktown as escaped being killed outright

by the insurgents. Some time ago the War
Department made inquiry as to the number
OF American prisoners held by the Filipinos

Lands Going
For Reservoirs,

Several of the ranchmen in this
vicinity lately have taken adj
vantage of the law passed by con.
gress sometime ago giving them
the right to file on 100 acre tracts
of land for reservoir sites. The law
allows them to hold the land for two
years ut The end of which time a
reservoir must have been built on
each 160-acre tract, failure to do
SO causing forfeiture of the land.
The fee is $500 for each filing.
If the reservoirs are built and
contain water the holder of the
land, without further fees, files
an affidavit to that effect at the
land Office and will hold the land
as he wants it, provided he files
ap affidavit every year. This law
gives stockmen chance to con-
troll their range and fence it for
pasture purposes if they SO de-

Ab0utthe New
Brand Law,

The Hugo Ledger is struggling
hard to create discomfort among
the stockmen over the brand law
Admitting that the fee charged is
larger than there is any necessity
of its being made, the benefit to
he gained to the stockmen is so
unquestionably great, that it is hard
to understand why there should be
any kick over the trouble caused
by the re-registration. The Colo
RADIO brand records at present are
so imperfect and bulky, that they
are almost useless except to large
owners who take care that their
records are always kept up-to-date.
The men who will gain by re-
cording are the small owners OF
cattle, whose brands hereafter will
be on record in such a manner
that it will be almost impossible
for them to lose strays. The
very fact that several thousands
of dollars worth of estrays are
unclaimed in this state every year,
is sufficient to warrant the re-
vision of the brands and it is
always significant fact that these
unclaimed estrays belong to small
owners and not to large ones.
Everyone knows how impossible
ii is to get perfect law passed
and all should be satisfied that the
legislature did no worse. Den
yer Daily Stockman.
