Sail to Inspect Victoria Lands.


Sail to Inspect Victoria Lands. I
San Francisco, Calf, April g..
About two hundred farmers, mostly
from California and other states on
the Pacific coast, sailed from this port
today on the steamship Tahiti for
Australia, to make a thorough in
spection of the available irrigation
lands of Victoria. The excursionists
are in charge of William Cattanach,
member of the irrigation commits
sion of Victoria, who came to the re-
claimed and irrigated lands of Vic
toria. According to his statement
there are in Victoria about 100000
acres of land which can be reclaimed
for agricultural purposes and of
these 10000 acres are already I'M
der irrigation. The climatic condi-
lions are almost the same as those
of lower California and the land is
said to be especially well suited for
the raising of fruit and vegetables
and for dairying.

USUAL DETECTIVE STUNT.

In an action brought against Ezra Day,
an organizer for the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Railway
Employees, on the complaint of a detec-
tive of the Topeka Railway company,
charging assault and battery, Day was
acquitted by jury in just three minutes
and the costs taxed against the COM
planning witness. Under the statute If
it is found that prosecution is malicious
the complaining witness can be taxed
for the costs and committed to Jail in
default of payment. In this case it was
found that the prosecution was mali
cious, and the Judge directed that the
detective, Fred L. Howard, be committed
to Jail until the costs were paid. The
detective, however, had disappeared be-
fore the court order was executed.

Admiral southerland has sent to the

ports Of the situation in Nicaragua. By
means Of small detachments sent into
the sections not tapped by the railway.
the admiral has been enabled to get
into touch with all Western Nicaragua.
While the oficers commanding these ex-
petitions were instructed to sound out
public sentiment. and to examine into
the general state Of Affairs following the
revolution. their chief purpose was to
convince the Nicarasuans that the
Americans are in their country as
friends. Admiral Switzerland states that
this has been accomplished. and most
gratifying expressions OF thanks have
come to him from representative Mica
raguans. expressing warmest apprecia-
ton for the services rendered by the
American forces in the interests of
peace and prosperity. This feeling has
followed a general suspicion. largely due
to the fact that reports had been spread
throughout Nicaragua that the Ameri-
cans were there to rob. despoil. and in
suit the Eicaraguans and conhscate
their property.
The cities Of Leon. Chinandega. and
other places, where the upheaval was
