The Water Now Said to be Reced-
ing.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-The en-
gineers of the Southern Pacific Company
have been investigating the desert sea at
Salton, and reports will be published to-
morrow. The report says, in part: The
present lake covers a surface Of about I56
square miles. Two channels enter it,
one known as New River and the other
as Broken Arroyo. The latter was
closed a number Of years ago by sand,
but the high floods in February, 1891
washed it out and through it most of the
water entered the desert. The first rush
Of water amounted to 10000 cubic feet of
water per second, and commenced the
latter part of June. Now it is only 5000.
Since the 18th Of July this flow was fur
ther balanced by evaporation, ETC., and
the water in the lake did not rise and it is
now receding. 1t will probably be gone
before next years floods appear, but a
lake will be formed every year until the
channel is again closed by sand.

YOUNG MOSBY REPLIES IN CAUS-

Retracts Unreservedly the Letter OF
Apology-The Count Referred to
as an ImpoSter.
Special TO the REcoRD-USIoN.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Beverly C.
Mosby, son OF Colonel John S. Mosby of
San Francisco, who a couple of weeks
ago shot at Count Mitkiewicz, replied
this evening to Mitkiewicz's structures
upon himself in very caustic terms.
1T is perhaps foolish to make reply"
said he, ''to the structures of this Russian
adventurer. He is known the world over
as an infamous imposter, and the version
which he ventures of the difficulty that l
have had with him is in keeping with his
reputation. [ will not, however, be
quiet longer. After 1 have had occasion
to shoot at the menacing villain a hypo-
thetical apology was elected from me
through my desire to avoid publicity, not
from fear of prosecution, which he
threatened. Despite efforts to the con-
trary, the newspapers got hold of the
matter. l regret that my letter was kept
back. The apology which it conveyed
Mitkiewicz himself. 1t was based upon
the assumption stated therein which /
find without truth.
In furtherance of his plots to defraud
people as to so-called concessions from
China, he would have thrust ignominy
on family which had never harmed
him or his. MIitkiewicz's statements to
the press are tissue of malignant false
hoods. l unearthed the record of Miller
myself. He had never breathed word
to me which conveyed the slightest inti-
nation of his past character, though it
seems positively that he had been aware
of it for months. There was no separa-
ton between them until after [ returned
from Pittsburg two weeks ago.
He declares that he received my
thanks for his conduct. That is miserable
falSehood, for what in the name of heaven
had | to thank him? Lastly, Mitkiewicz
expressed belief that my mind is not well
balanced. Himself as a standard, he is
right. have never been a rogue He is
absolutely accurate if these be used as
the scales with which his lordship weighs
human morals"
