believe that Mac, seeing the interest which the public take in his report wishes to conceal his discovery ia the hope of making better thing oft at some future day, or otherwise that he has absolutely failed to discover the local- fly, owing to the very different aspects present- ed by the same place, in this Territory, at diff ferent seasons, This mine having. according to his statement, been discovered duridg the winter season, when this country presents no appearance of vegetable life, will, naturally present very different surroundings at this sea- son, when every shrub is covered with verdure and every valley and strea inlet shaded with luxuriant grass or towering weeds
 But we do not-think that many of the party regret having taken the trip On the contrary it would appear, that though they may not have found tbe mine, yet some other mine, of very fair promise, has been discovered Four or five of the party, as we learn, on the third day became rebellous, declaring they would not be fooled longer by the impostor Mac. In this wholesome mood they started off on their own account, and after involuntarily practising summersauIts and other gymnastic feats, on mnleback, for the better part of two days, they pointed their bloodless stock toward Tucson arriving one day in advance of the main party. We have, however, observed, that though they admit of having tumbled down several hills and receiving sundry bruises, they are not dis- eouraged, and speak of visiting those wilds again at an early day. It has likewise been Ob :. served that these men are painfully evasive ifquestioned regarding direction &c., from the time they separated from the main party.

HARVARD AND OXFORD.
The New Boats and the Change in the q

The New Boats and the Change in the crews
Bells Life of August s says:-ihe new boat
is a splendid piece OF workmanship and as line
a model as was ever turned out OF Messrs.
Salter's yard. She was built to order, to carry
crew averaging list. S14lbs. with coNswain
weighing 7st. Abs and her dimensions are as
follows:-Length A feet inches: greatest
width 2015 inches, the latter measurement being
taken from outside the skin. In order.
however, to insure suitable craft the
Harvard crew have Il new boat in course OF con-
struction by an American builder in Slmlnonds
yard, which they intend to try before making
definite selection. For some reason or other her
dimensions are kept secret, but we understand
she is modelled on the English plan, and will be
ready in the course of n day or two.
The Post of August 10 says:-Can the Harvard
crew stay the distance that is the question.
They certainly have vastly improved since Mr..
Loring went to stroke and Mr.. Simmons left
that seat for 3; but with Messrs. Bass and Rice
out of the boat substituted by Messrs. Lyman
and Faye, they went splenddly yesterday, the
two latter rowing bow and with oars by John
son of Boston, the American maker, and Sim
mons and Loring using English oars. They used
the London four-oar and rowed with fine time
and precision of swing at 40 strokes per minute
over a mile, against wind and tide, and moving
the boat at great pace, so that odds OF = to on
Oxford were taken on the tow-path The ques-
tion asked above, however, must be repeated. IL
is evident that the American gentlemen do not
intend to let the public know what they can do
until the day of the race; thus their powers OF
endurance and stamina will remain mystery
till then.
The London Daily News of Aug. 9 says:-The
traffic of the Thames is to be stopped as between
Putney bridge and Mortlake from two hours be-
fore until after the race. No steamers or other
craft will be allowed to ply within the prohibited
hours within those points, nor will steamers or
private boats be allowed TO accompany the race
In short, if the regulations which have been de-
scribed to us are carried out, anything like i'm
pediment or foul play will be impossible.

Special Despatch 10 The Evening IeLegrdph
New YORK, Aug. 23.-Stocks are irregular
The Vanderbilt securities have been dull, but
are now rallying. New York Central, which
closed on Saturday at 200, has been as low as
1879 to-day, but is now quoted at 199H. Gov
crnments are steady and unchanged. Gold is
firm at an advance of l per cent. since Satur-
day. The cause of the higher prices is said to
be partly in consequence of the probable pur-
chase of Cuba by the United States Government,
which will require coin for payment, and partly
in consequence of rumors of heavy gold invest
mcnts by the RothsChilds' agent here. The pre-
sent price of gold is 1925. Money is easy at
and per cent. Foreign exchange is fiat at 40
for three days and 1925 for sixty days.

By the Angio-Anpjcan Gable
LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Telegraph to-day has
an editorial on the forthcoming International
boat race wherein it says, The point in favor of
the Americans is, that they are in such state
of high training of the best kind, and have not
submitted to a sharp regime for few months
with view to this particular event, but have
been in perfect training for tue last three years,
What with such hardness OF muscle, sOundnesS
of heart and honesty of lung must be the result.
1T is almost impossible to overrate the effect
such a state of facts has upon the event of the
race. Four young athletes, kept for three years
under conditions to develop every available
power is something more excellent than the
result of a few months training. What may not
be expected from crew called upon for II quar-
ter of an hours strain when they have been at
work for years.
Taking our information rs corrective should
consider the superior hardness of the Amcri-
cans more than a set-off against the style of the
English, and we conclude that the contest will
be mainly battle of coXwains. Whatever may
be the event, we trust that kindly feelings and
good fellowship between the two nations may be
theEresult."
France Gives Her Opinion on the Cnban Ques-
PARIS, Aug 23.-Ld France says, however
painful it may be for Spain to adopt the sug-
gested solution of the Cubangdifliculty, there is
no other plan possible. 1t is the only way for
Spain to save some fragments of the wreck.
The value and duration of Cuban indepen-
dence, under the protection of the United States,
is another question. The desire to absorb which
characterizes Americans, qualities them very
badly to perform the part of platonic protec-
torate. 1t is very probable that behind the
compromise they are trying to bring about lies
a second edition of the history of Texas.
