SUIT AGAINST BALLINGER.
Says It's Spite Work-Prepared to
Make a Fight.
(Special to The Herald.) }

Price. Utah, May 13.-A. Ballinger,
against whom action has begun in the
United States circuit court at Salt Lake
City, for the alleged cutting of cedar
posts off government land. has been
served with papers in the case and VIII
be defended by Williams, Van Colt &
Sutherland. He does not anticipate
that the matter will go further than
an attempt of the government authori-
ties to collect the value of the timber.
Ballinger says il is a case of spite
work on the part of certain enemies in
Price and his case is the only one and
the first one of the kind in Utah. Others
here. it is alleged, have handled tim
Der in the same manner and why he
should be singled out he is at a loss to
understand. 1t is expected now that
the matter is opened up that various
other cases of similar character will be
begun. 1t is not long since an agent
of the government was along here and
Ballinger and his firm the Price Trad
ing company, paid royalty of 2 cents
a post on many thousand of cedar then
on their premises, many of which are
yet on hand.

CONDITION OF TROOPS.
Surgeon Lippincott Reports Regard
ing Eighth Corps.

Washington, May 1S.-The war de-
partment has received a report dated
March 81 from Chief Surgeon Pippin-
colt at Manila, giving in detail the
conditions of the troops of the Eight
corps. The report is generally favor
able. 1t shows the total number of
killed up to date, March 81, to be Isl,
and the wounded S47.
The wounds are generally of slight
character and many of the men have
returned or will return to duty soon.
The surgeon says that everything for
the comfort of the sick and wounded
has been done, the hospital conditions
being excellent. He says the command
has gone through hardening process
and has tried to avoid causes of dis
ease. There have been received at the
hospital 256 wounded Filipinos, includ-
ing four women. These received good
care and treatment.
Gable advices of much later date
have been received concerning the con-
dition of the troops.

THE BOSTON TO COME HOME.
Admiral Dewey Reconsiders Plans
Regarding Cruiser.

Washington, May 13.-Admiral Dewey
today cabled the navy department from
Manila that he had reconsidered his
plans respecting the Boston. and had
concluded TO allow the cruiser to come
to the United States at once. The ad-
miral said nothing further as to his
own return to the United States.
The officials of the navy department
expressed some surprise at the an
nouncement through the Associated
Press cablegram from Manila that
Dewey will occupy four months in the
cruise, for this period is at least twice
the time that would be required to
make a straight cruise homeward.
However, it is supposed that he desires
to delay his arrival in the United States
until the hot weather has passed, being
already debilitated from his long eX-
posture to the enervating heat of the
Philippines.

CLAIM AGAINST GOVERNMENT
CONGRESSMAN MoNDELL DIS
CUSSES UNCLE SANS DEBTS.
Wyoming Will Receive About S1O,-
600 For Volunteer Equipment
Other Western States Claims.
(special Correspondence.l

Cheyenne, Wyo., May Fin an in
terview today Congressman F. w.
Mondell stated that he believes that the
volunteers of Utah, Wyoming, Colorado
and other states have valid claim
against the United States government
for many thousands of dollars. Mr..
Mondell was asked to explain the mat
ter which he did as follows:
The act Of July s, 1898, provides for
the reimbursement to the governors of
the states and territories of the expense
of raising, organizing, supplying and
equipping the volunteer army. Almost
all of the states, there having been no
specific rate made by the government,
paid their troops at the regular army
rate, which amounted to about 56 cents
on the average. At this rate the gov
eminent reimbursed the states. AL
most all of the states, however. have
passed laws which state that tie mill
tia of said state shall receive pay at
the rate of 81 per day while in service.
THE act of March 3, 1899. an amend
ment to the act of July s, 1898, provides
among other things, that the compen-
sation allowed by the laws of the
states and territories to officers and
men of the national guard shall be al
lowed to the states and territories as
payment for such officers and men, as
appeared and remained at the place of
muster and were afterwards mustered
into the service of the United States,
for the period between the date of as
sembly and the date of muster. This
provision clearly entities the members
of the national guard to the balance
of the compensation allowed by the
state law which, in most states. is $1.44
over what they have already received.
"A recent decision of the comptroller
of the treasury" continued Mr.. Mon
dell. entities the volunteer troops to
credit from the general government for
whatever amount they may have been
charged for clothing, etc, furnished
by the states"
The volunteers of Wyoming will re-
ceive in the neighborhood of $4,000 ad-
ditional pay from the general govern
ment.

western par. Of

one from the western part OF
Prowers county.
Favorable conditions and pros
poets prevail in the western coun-
ties. AS result of irrigation and
recent high temperature, plant life
is making rapid advancement, and
with the exception OF fruit, is
likely to overcome the backsets
due to an unfavorable spring. AL
falfa harvest is in progress in a
few localities and will be general
next week; but the crop will be
light. While ranges are generally
in good condition, the soil is dry
ing rapidly and rain will be needed
shortly.
East of the mountains, the
showers OF the preceding week
were generally insufficient for
more than temporary relief and
the droughty conditions that have
characterized the growing season
are again general. Irrigated crops
show material improvement, but
grain is generally poor and un-
even stand and heading low.
Gardens are still backward. The
conditions have been favorable to
alfalfa harvest and the crop. though
rather light, is being secured in
fine condition. Showers have inn
proved ranges in Jefferson county,
but in general they are very poor
and stock is beginning to suffer.
Hail, on the r3th, caused consid-
erable damage in Cheyenne county
and eastern Arapahoe.
Very unfavorable conditions con-
tinue in San Luis Valley.
