THE ABBEY SEIZURE
CONTINUED from First Page

CONTINUED from First Page)
Sylvester made a memorandum of the
bills Of sale to his agents, who went to
Batangas, where the Abbey lay at
anchor He told them to pay off and
discharge the officers and crew and
turn the ship over to the purchasers.
He aIsc gave his representatives ex-
plicit instructions to bring away from
the ship all papers and American
flags. These instructions, it is claimed,
were carried out to the letter. They
were delivered to Sylvester, who left
Manila at the first opportunity to go
TO Hong Kong, intending to go to
Canton and have the register can
celed.
Another reason given for the seizure
of the ship by Admiral Dewey is that
the crew would not answer any ques-
ton as to the owners of the ship, its
cargo, or future destination. This, Mr.
Sylvester answers by saying that the
crew did not know, and therefore
could not make any reply. Admiral
Dewey telegraphed Consul General
Wildman at Hong Kong for the ships
papers, and Wildman, in turn, COM
municated with Consul Bedloe at
Canton.
Last April Admiral Dewey was in
structed to release the Abbey, but ad-
evidence was discovered, and
a dr,iraI Watson was inS+ruoted ~

The recent purchase of $4,000 tons
OF S5-pound steel rails by the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad brings the total
amount Of rail bought since March l,
1896. up to 115.300 tons, enough to
relay $40 miles Of track. OF the new
rail ordered eight thousand tons is to
be laid on the lines west OF the Ohio
river. and twenty thousand tons is to
be used as follows: Forty-four miles
on the Philadelphia division. II miles
on the Second division. l3 miles on
the Third division. 30 miles on the
Fourth division. 81 miles on the Fifth
division. 10 miles on the Connellsville

Mr.. Editor:-For the good Of sufYer.
ing humanity, and particularly those
suffering from that most dreadful dis
ease. rheumatism, we desire to inform
your readers that the only specific In
the world today for this disease is our
Five Drops" remedy. Five Drops"
is the name. and Five Drops" is the
dose. It Is not only acknowledged
specific by the many thousands who
have been cured by its use. but 1t Is
now acknowledged to be such by the
medical profession, many Of whom use
this remedy in their daily practice. and
they state to us that 1t Is the only
thing with which they can cure the
rheumatism. This remedy not only
positively cures this disease, but It
never has failed and 1t never can fail
to cure any and all OF the following
diseases: Sciatica, Lumbago, Neural
gta, Catarrh. Creeping Numbness.
Nervousness. Asthma. Heart Weak
ness. Toothache, Earache. La Grippe,
and diseases Of the liver and kidneys.
Five Drops" is not q patent medicine.
but was perfected only after vast re-
search in scientific fields. and at great
expense. 1t never can be fully appre-
ciated until 1t is used. Many Of Its
cures border on the miraculous. Words
are almost inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human
ity is daily deriving from the use of
this most wonderful remedy. Its
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the other remedies offered

The way to get the true style in driv
Ing, according to the new idea is tc
practice the drive with n golf ball held
firmly under the right armpit. 1t will.
be found that when the swing is prop
erly made the ball will not be dis

other hand, that the cyertion O. hold

who have tried swinging with n ball

six and half inches across. This rec
ommendation Is based on the expe-
rience that the usual caddie bag mouth
OF four and half inches insures badly
frnyed leather grips OF the clubs. owing
to the haste Of the caddie boys TO push
them in and out OF the bag in serving
the players during the round. The
bags, although somewhat larger to the
eye, are no heavier than those with
narrow mouths, and the cadde's work
Is thus made easier and the chatting
and scraping Of clubs done away with
to great degree. A third suggestion
is an improvement in the cups used
to I'LL the holes. The usual disk cup
is Of heavy galvanized tin, with two
cross pieces perforated to support the
disk stan. which, especially when the
ground is hard with frost. requires
considerable labor to bury in the earth
The new device. which has been used
for 4 season in the west. is an iron
cup having a thick base in which the
stan rests. The hole need not be as
deep as with the tin cups, and as there
are no cross bars the balls never be-
come stuck beneath them.

Robert T. Hill Of the geological sur
vey, who II the author of an excellent
work on Cuba, has just returned from
an examination OF the mineral re-
sources Of Porto Rico, and has pre-
pared a very interesting and valuable
report on that subject. He estimates
that nine-tenths of the island Is noun.
tainofs and the remaining tenth Is
foothills, composed of rock Of sea Or
igin, a peculiar type OF tropical white
limestone, and alluvial formations Of
rich sandy loan. The ordinary pros
pector for minerals, he says, will find
the conditions there no foreign to those
of the United States that he will be en-
tirely lost in endeavoring to follow
what are to him ordinary indications
Of mineral wealth. He thinks, how
ever. that the mineral resources should
receive thorough scientific study and
that the sands and alluvial deposits of
each OF the loo streams should be
carefully examined, for it Is probable
that they contain platinum and other
rare minerals. There is plenty of ma
terial for construction. and it Is util-
lied with great skill by the inhabit-
ants; brick and fire clays, building
stones OF great variety. lime. sand, ce-
Inent, gypsum and paving blocks in
great abundance. and plenty of pottery
clay, although there are but few pot
teries upon the island. There is n belt
of marble of great hardness. variegat-
I'd In color and OF much beauty.
There are many lngoons about the
island, from which considerable salt Is
obtained by natural evaporation, and a
fair quality of Ignite coal has been
found. free of impurities. 1t has every
aspect OF good camel coal and offers
field for study. Their are also sew
eral mineral springs that may be of
value.
Almost ever since the island was dis
covered gold has been washed from the
streams, but II has never been found
In profitable quantities. Several Amer
lean prospectors are now seeking for
the mother rock at the heads of the
streams, but Mr.. Hill does not think it
will be found. There is some copper
and zinc and n good deal of iron.
