The Salt water Gold Bubble.

Winslow Warren of Boston, chairman of
the committee in charge of settling the af
fairs of Rev. P. F. Jernegan's Electrolytic
Marine Salts company, announced Friday
that dividend of 20 per cent would be
paid to shareholders on May 1. Mr.. War
rem ventured the opinion that at least 30
per cent would be paid eventually. The
committee represents about 900, 900 shares
of stocks out of total of 953, 900 shares, Sc
that dividend of 90 per cent will mean
the return to investors of total of nearly
5000, 900. OF this amount Jernegan sent
back $75, 900 and the committee secured by
attachment about 500, 900 more belonging
to him, making in all about $175, 900.
Jernegan is now in Belgium, living near
Brussels. 1t is estimated that he left him
self with less than $15, 900 of all the money
he received He wants to return to this
country and the probabilities are that his
exile will be short. The expert appointed

Capt. G. F. F. Wilde, of the Boston, has
protested against the promotion of Col Mil
Ter to a brigadier-generalship as a reward
for the capture of Iloilo. 1t appears that this
capture was effected entirely by the naval
forces under command of Capt Wilde, and
it was not until after the capture had been
effected that the place was turned over to
Col. Miller, who, up to that time had moth
ing to do with the capture. This action is
endorsed by Admiral Dewey Capt. Wilde's
protest came too late to be effective, as
Col. Miller was promoted brigadier-general
Feb. 10 in recognition of services in the
capture of Iloilo and was retired in that
grade March 81 on account of age.

The completion within a few months of

the Kentucky, serves to call attention to
the remarkable rate at which the navy is
growing at the present time. Except
among naval officers who watch this prog
ress, few persons realize that AZ warships
are now under construction for the United
States, involving expenditures under ex-
lstlng contracts aRgregating $50, 3S6, 500
for hulls and machinery alone. These YES
sells when equipped ready for sea will have
cost over 50,000,000 Eight of them are
first-class sea-going batteships, as good as
any aiioat, without taking into account the
superiority of the gunners. machinists and
officers to man them. Sixteen are torpedo
boat-destroyers averaging 80 knots speed,
four are heavy harbor-defence monitors,
one is sister cruiser to the New Orleans,
and Is are torpedo boats.
One of the most notable facts about this
vast construction undertaking is its distri-
