All Of the principal and many OF the
smaller streams in Nevada have no visible
outlet. The larger rivers all terminate TN
lakes Of very considerable area, respect
lively. The most singular thing is that the
water supply in these lakes Is at all times
the same. The spring frcshets, filing the
rivers from bank to bark, work no per-
eeptible change in these great reservoirs.
What becomes Of all this water is the mys-
terry. 1t has been the generally accepted
theory that there exists = subterrsnean con-
nection between the Nevada /" inks" and
the Pacific Ocean. But this theory is now
disputed by q gentleman who has resided
on the shores Of Humboldt Lake for years.
The " Silver State has the following on
the subject
A great many persons entertain the opin-
ion that there is a subterranean outlet to
the Sink OF the Humboldt. One Of these
expressed his views on the subject yester-
day in TIE presence of Walter Schmidt,
who has reeided near the Sina Tor several
years, and built q quartz mill near the visi-
BILE outlet Of the lake. Schmidt dissented
from this opinion, and argued that as the
Sink has q hard, clayey bottom, impervi-
Gus to water, it would be impossible for it
to soak through underground, and attrib-
uted the disappearance of the river to
evaporation. ssThis," said Mr.. Schmidt,

about 900 Russian, Servian, M~ontenegrian

adjacent islands.
The Tribune" concludes an editorial
ON the negro exodus and condition Of the
emigrants as follows: "As for the polit-
ical association in Boston, which now
claims to have been the motive power in
sending these hordes away from their OPP
pressors, what is it doing to feed and clothe
them now it has set them adrift? Money
was always forthcoming when needed to

Of a dollar being contributed from that

Boston. May 2.
Chas. F. Freeman, of Pocotte, Mass,
yesterday killed his ~five-year-old daughter.
The man is q Second Adventist, and has
been attending revival meetings. About a
week ago he claimed to have received
wonderful revelations" and has not eaten
nor slept since. He SAYS the Lord directed
the sacrifice of his little daughter, aud he
declares she will rise again in three days.
Yesterday morning he sent word to his
neighbors that he would make a revelation
known and offer an orthodox sacrifice. In
the afternoon a number Of Second Advent
lists assembled at his house, but the child
had been killed. The little one was trans
fixed with 3 knife, and her blood poured
out upon a table improvised as an altar.
Freeman has driven every one from the
house and locked and barred the doors and
windows, and having firearms, threatens
death to any one who interferes. Alone
with his lead child, he goes through hor-
rible incantations, which he says in three
days will be the resurrection Of my be-
loved chiid..

WHAT Is THOUGHT IN CUBA OF THE MISIsrE-
RIAL CHANGES IN sPAIN-rHE CONSERVATIVES
TAKE HEART-UNpopULARITY OF cAMpos.
HAVANA. Dec. 20, 1879.
The ministerial crisis In Spain has made tho least
impression here in Cuba where the greatest interest
in it should have been felt. This indifference to the
fall from power of the man whose aspirations have
been the hope of this island for the last two years
finds explanation in the peculiar chain of
events which first raised General Martinez
Cainpos to the highest position in Spain
and afterward visibly undermined his power
The Shareholders and unprogressve spaniards never
liked General Campos account of his liberal spirit
and because they bitterly opposed to all
forms and now. although has been officially stated
that the change OF Ministry does not imply change
OF policy Of the government. the conservatives seem
to think that their cherished ideas will be car
ried out in the proposed reforms. sehor Romero
Roblsdo. who figured prominently Eduring the
ministerial crisis. is q son-in-law Of tho
lately deceased sehor Zulucta. who was
one of the richest and most influential
spaniards Of the conservative type this island,
and 1t is probable that Romero Robledo has been
well instructed with regard to the views OF the in
huential Spaniards in Cuba. As proof Of how the
conservative clement has drawn renewed courage
from the return to power OF Canovas del Castillo 1t
may be stated that this week forty slaves sold
in this city at $500. gold each Both Martinez
Csmpos and Canovas del Castillo profess the same
principles, both belong to the Same party. and the
only point upon which they differ is the manner In
which peace should be secured to Cuba. While Gen
eral Campos was preparing his scheme of reform for
Cuba for presentation to the Cortes some Of the
chicfs Of the former insurrection returned to the
field and violated the Treaty of Zanjon. This was
terrible blow to Campos; his
became doubtful and it was necessary to take up
arms again. One of the circumstances which most
contributed to sustain the political prestige of
Martinez Campos was the glory OF having pacihed
Cuba but the fact that the insurrecton had broken
out anew weakened the moral influence necessary to
him in order to control the Ministry and tho Cortes
The effect which the ministerial change may have
the condition of Cuba will appear later on, but it
would appear impossible that the promised re-
forms should be withheld from the people who are
yet patiently awaiting them.

nitely arrived at received no confr-
nation during the day. NM. Waddington,
de Freycinct and ChallemelLacour were yes
terday afternoon comforting at the residence Of
M. Waddington. The Standards Paris corre-
spondent says this morning that the RtpMblque
Francaise and the Pair have published articles
which are calculated to cause serious
concern, rs they can only be regarded as
giving evidence Of serious difference between
the views of President Gr6vy and those of NJ.
Gambetta. The article Of the R<pMblique
Franeaise is regarded as plain intimation that
M. Gambetta is ready to take office. The Pais
states that there is no crisis ut all, and that
there is nothing to do but appoint successor to
NJ. Leroyer. The Pais is President Grevy's
organ.
THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.

upon presenting proposal to M. Waddington
that, as the maintenance or rcconstruc-

Premiership being out of the question, M. de
Freycinet should form Cabinet. M. Wadding-
ton was deputed to acquaint President Grevy
with this decision. At eleven o'clock tonight
the situation was unchanged, M. de Freycinet

assembled, but after several sittings they do
clared that the question Of peace or war con-

forward the following conditions of peace
