T. Sampson has filed suit in the supreme
court OF the district lbeling the Spanish
vessel of war Maria Teresa and miscel-
laneous stores and supplies captured upon
her and other Spanish war vessels In his
bill he says he brings suit in his own be-

enlisted men of the United states navy
who served with the United States naval
forces and took part in the naval engage
ment off Santiago de Cuba on July 3, 1888,
and in captures subsequent thereto. Adj
miral Sampson says that the fleet OF the
United States WAS acting under his Imme-
date command as commander in chief.
Commodore Winfield 5. Schley was the
commanding officer Of division of the fleet
under his orders and Captain Chadwick
commandant of the flagship.
The Teresa was worth 100000 over and
above cost of recovery.
He asks for a rule by the secretary of
the navy TO show cause why the value or
the captured property shown or which
may be shown by the survey appraisal and
inventory should not be deposited with
the treasurer or assistant treasurer of the
United States.

short time Chicago will tap the great
Southwestern country by another line OF
railway. The new route Is to be estab-
llshed by an arrangement between the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the ST.
Louis Southwestern. known as the Cot
ton Belt. The connecting link Of eighty
six miles that Is to bring these roads to-
gether and form the new through system
Is now being built by the Eastern Illinois
company from Marion to Thebcs, I'll.
When a few months ago the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois began the construction OF
this line to the Mississippi river the object
OF the move was mystery. II now de-
yelors that the object from the start was
to bring these two systems together for
the purpose Of forming a direct connection
between Chicago and large portion OF
Texas that has never been touched by any
OF the direct roads from tho city. Last
year tho Cotton Belt built new branch
to Crays Point. which Is directly across
the river from Thebes, where tho Chicago
and Eastern Illinois new line will extend.
Later en- bridge will be built.

Eastern Illinois today confirms the report
that the plans were as outlined above. II

that 1t would surpass every refinery in
the United States In the power to cheaply
turn raw sugar into granulated. This con-
fidence. he said, was based upon the pos
session of n new and secret process for the
filtration of sugar 1t is believed that the
sugar is to be clarified by electrolysis or
ozone, or some combination of these sys-
tens. great saving in labor expenses,
It is reported. will be effected by this pro-

will be able 10 get all the raw sugar IL
wants. regardless Of the tariff on Cuban
