BRITONS ON CHINESE RIVER
Destroyers Sent to Suppress the Pie
rates Who Prey on Commerce.

HONGKONG, Dec. 5.-There is
much excitement among the natives
in this vicinity on account of the pa
troll to be established on West river
by foreigners. Some time ago
British admiral and. the British con-
sui visited the yiceroy and claimed
an indemnity on account of loss to
British commerce through piracy.
The idea being flouted, the vieeroy
was given until the end of November
to establish proper patrol, being in
formed that if he did not the British
would establish one themselves.
Tomorrow three torpedo boats and
four destroyers, fully armed, will
leave Hongkong for the West river
in spite of the outcry raised. Be-
cause of the inaction or inability of
the local government the British are
determined to wipe out the pirates.
Events are being awaited with in
terest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. G.-Orders
were received here by General Funs-
ton today directing him to start
troops of the department of Califor-
mia to rendezvous in easy commune
cation with Goldfeld, New, to stand
ready to suppress riots should the
pending trouble between the Mine
Owners association and the Western
Federation of Miners develop into
open warfare or violence. President
Roosevelt has acted on representation
of Governor Sparks OF Nevada that
the situation was serious and should
trouble break out federal troops
would be the only defenders of life
and property.
WHY THE GOVERNOR ACTED.
Governor Sparks informed Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the Nevada sit
uation might not demand immediate
federal intervention, but the soldiers
in the department of California were
the most available for Nevada SER
vice, and since ii would take at least
1S hours TO transport them to Gold
field by special train, the governor de-
Slftu tilat preparations p' ihe"'' A"A
their movement.
General Funston admitted today
that he was i'm communication with
President Roosevelt regarding the
movement of troops, but said that the
message was confidential and could
not be discussed at present. The
general said that there were $500
men in the department of California
who would be available for service
He would not say if he would go in
personal command of the men.

BATTLING NELSON AT RENO
WANTS TO FIGHT CANS

RENO, Dec. 6.-Battling
Nelson, hot after a fight with I
Joe Cans, arrived in Reno yes
terday morning and spent the
day with his backer, Jim May.
May and Nelson will leave for I
San Francisco tonight. 1t is I
probable that as a result of the I
visit arrangements will be made I
to bring off the much talked of
battle between the two men in
this city. Early in February or
perhaps in March the fight will
take place and the purse will be
not less than $35, 900 in money
and the lightweight champion
ship of the world. Nelson never
looked better in his life and he
is primed and ready to fight to-
morrow If proper inducements
are offered. If he don't fight
with Cans, Nelson is going to
stay in Nevada and devote his
time to his mining interests.

WASHINGTON DECLINES IN
FORMATION.

WASHINGTON, Dec. G.-I'resident
Roosevelt is hesitating about adopt
ing rigorous measures, and will order
troops to enter Goldfield only as a
last resort. He is especially dcsirous
to do nothing indicative of prejudice
against the miners, or to bring down
upon him accusations which resulted
from his expression of opinion in the
Meyer and Haywood affair in Idaho.
No statement could be obtained at
the White House as to the trouble,
and Generals Bell and Oliver were
equally reticent. All information,
they said, must come from the pres.
ident.

Florida Hammock Lands.

Seabard Mercantile Review: The
word hammock as applied to lands
means a piece of wooded land that
has been enriched for countless ages
by the falling leaves and the decaying
limbs and fallen timber. Marion
county has $4,000 acres of such lands,
and they are considered the most valu-
able in the county, and as good as can
be found in the state. An erroneous
impression prevails that these lands
are low and swampy, but on the con-
trary, they are generally the most Gle
waited. The surface is of rich vege-
table mould. These lands are high,
perfectly drained, dry and undu1ating
and very healthy. They have an enor-
nous growth of hardwood trees and
are very productive. These lands can
be had at from five to twenty dollars
per acre.
From the standpoint of productive
ness there are no lands more valuable
in the state than the hammocks of
Marion county. Staple crops, such as
corn, oats, sea island cotton, hay, pea
nuts, watermelons, canta1oupes, pota-
toes, sugar cane, velvet beans, mi11et,
vegetables of all kinds, fruits, and in
fact all agricultural products that are
indigenous to the state, flourish ex-
ceedlngly we'll in Marion county.
