$10,000,000 for the section from Bulawayo to Laho Tanganyika, and the remainder can be secured when the surveys from Tanganyika to Khartoum are made. Admiral Cervera’s watch, it is claimed, is owned by Lieut. Bettes, Company E, Twenty-third Kansas volunteers, a negro, who is home at Wichita from Cuba. It is a fine gold watch, the case set with diamonds and rubies. Inside “Pashal Cervera” is engraved. The watch was secured by Bettes, according to his story, from a Spanish pilot—the man who glided Cervera’s ship out of Santiago harbor July 3. As a reward, Cervera gave him this watch. Being in straitened circumstances and wanting to go home, he sold it Ito Bettes for $52. Ex-Assemblyman J. M. Bassford and his brothers of Suisun, Cal., are inclined to believe the story that their brother, Frank Bassford, is restrained of his liberty on the peninsula of Kamchatka, as told by Sailor Morris?:<Vho returned from two weeks ago. Morris says there are several Americans illegally and cruelly detained as prisoners by the Russian authorities. When at Yokohama he was informed by Barney Fox, a seal hnnter of unquestionable veracity, that there were to his knowledge eighteen Americans held on the peninsula named, and that they were forced to work in the salt mines there. It is thought that the efforts now being made through Government officials regarding Bassford will do much to remove the curtain covering the inhuman treatment of American seal hunters and others in northern waters.
