Trial Trim Very Satisfactorv

The first trial trip of the new Amer
lean cup defender, Columbia, which
took place in Narragansett Bay, was
more successful than either her build
ers or her owners had reason to hope.
Not only did the new boat show her.
self to be able in every particular, but
she met the old racer Defender in a
friendly brush of mile to windward
and vanquished her with the greatest
ease. The race between the flyers,
which was over in five minutes, was
sailed in an eight-knot breeze under
the same conditions, each boat carry
ing three lower sails with sheet well
flattened. 1t took the Columbia about
three minutes, sailing from the De-
tenders weather quarter, to blanket
her. and in five minutes she was 100
yards ahead, going past the old cup
defender as if the latter was anchored.
Under these conditions it would seem
as if the Columbia were from Is to 20
seconds mile faster than the De-
fender, and if she can make the same
gain in a hard blow anxiety as to the
safety of the American cup will be
considerably allayed.

mia Fig Syrup Co.
An important decision has just been
rendered in San Francisco in the
United States Circuit Court, in the case
of the California Fig Syrup Company
VS.. Clinton e. Worden & Co., ct al"
The principal defendant is a large non
secret manufacturing concern. A per-
manent injunction has been granted
enjoining the defendants from using
the name-Syrup of Figs, or Fig
Syrup-and ordering them to pay the
costs and account for damages. The
decision is of the greatest value, not
only to manufacturers of proprietary
articles, but to the public generally, as
it affirms that the valuable reputation
acquired by an article of merit, will be
protected by the Courts, and that the
party who builds the reputation by ex-
tensive and legitimate advertising, is
entitled to the full fruits of his enter
prise. This confirms the title OF the
California Fig Syrup Co. to this genu-
inc and most valuable remedy, Syrup
of Figs"

WAR NOT ES.

The insurgent army has taken to the
swamps and hills beyond linus. The
largest force is supposed to be in the
neighborhood of San Francisco de
Malabon, holding a position more to-
ward the lake or toward the coast ac-
cording as exigencies demand. Gen.
Wheaton returned to linus on the 21st,
bringing three men who were wounded
in the battle the day before. The
heavy rains that fall nightly make

roads are still good, but the rice fields
adjoining them are pools of water.

Surgeon General Wyman of the ma
rine hospital service, has received word
from DIR. Park, the quarantine officer
at Santiago. reporting the existence at
that port of IA eases of yellow fever,
and four deaths from that cause. The
fact that the season had advanced thus
far with the appearance of only few
sporadic cases of yellow fever led to
the general hope that the improved
sanitary condition of Santiago, Havana
and other Cuban cities since the Amer
can occupation might result in prevent
ing an outbreak. But now that hope
is blasted. Every precaution is being
taken to prevent the spread of the di-
sease.
Two new cases of yellow fever and
four deaths from the disease have been
officially reported at Santiago, making
total of 35 cases and IL deaths. The
army surgeons now think they have
the fever under control. The sanitary
department is working day and night,
the city has been literally flooded with
disinfectants, and the entire garrison
in camp is under rigorous quarantine.
Considerable disorder has been caused
in the city by the American transfers
and packers who have been discharged
for incompetency. They wander about
the city, provoking disturbances.
According to Col. Thos Ward, of the
adjutant-general's staff, the regular
army is now practically full, but men
are being enlisted at the rate of 200
week. These men, he says, are not
for a provisional army, but will be
used to complete the strength of COM
panies, to replace sick and disabled
men and those whose terms of service
have expired. Col. Ward says none of
the men now being enlisted will be
used to fill up volunteer regiments
now in the Philippines.
Owing to the murders, robberies and
depredations in the vicinity of Guam
ajay, the peasants are sending their
families into Havana. The mayor,
having decided it would be impossible
to reach the culprits through the or
binary processes of law, issued an or
der for the arrest on suspicion of all
disreputable characters.
The war department is preparing to

will be abandoned.
