BILE would develop into q case of pneu-

him to rally, and he is row out of all dan

his seat i'll the Senate next week. During
his illness constant inquiries have been
made at the Elsmere as to his condition,
as he is one of the most popular men in
Congress Great concern was expressed
in the Senate when it was learned about
a week ago that he was confined to the
house. as it was feared that he might have
a severe time. He is one of the hardest
workers in the Senate and is most con-
scientious in his attention to duty. He and
Senator Chandler are now on the most
cordial terms, their old misunderstanding
having been quite satisfactorily arranged,
much to their own qualification and that
of their friends. Mr.. Chandler has been
very solicitous for Mr. Gallinger's health

thought the construction of battle ships
useless expenditure of money, claiming
that they could not cope with swift, rapid

the recent sinking Of the Chinese battle
ships by Japanese torpedo boats.
Besides, Mr.. Simpson said he did not be.

building gigantic battle ships which would
be out of date almost as soon as they were

A NEW BONANZA OPENED UP
Discovery OF New Gold Fields Near
Los Angeles
Some Good Returns Had From Rock Out of
the Ledge e-OnIy Preliminary Work
Done Thus Far

ACTON, March 21,-Six miles south
east of Vincent, on the San Francisco and
Los Angeles line of the Southern Pacific,
about thirty miles in direct line from
Los Angeles, is q mining district rich in
the yellow metal, that is practically un-
known to the outside world. While there
has been some mining done on a small
scale in one or two old properties, the
mountains as whole have never been
disturbed by the prospector's pick. How
ever, there are now IN operation with a
two-stamp mill the Gold Note group of
mines, the ore from which is rich in sui
phurets, as well as free gold. Then,
within mile or, so is the Black
Cat mine. a low-grade body of quartz.
but practically whole mountain of it,
This will some day probably be the larg-
est mining proposition in Southern Cal
ifornia. A new discovery which promises
to rival anything yet developed in the
district is the Perseverance group about a
mile west of the former. Here we have a
true fissure vein of quartz ranging in
width from 3 to 6 feet, and averaging
from $40 to $40 per ton. A shaft is now
being sunk and by the coming fall the
owners expect to have mill in constant
operation. There is truly great field for
the active aud energetic prospector, for
the mountains adjacent are full of gold
bearing quartz veins awaiting opening up.

More Gossip About That War
Down in the Cuban Isle
MORE INSURGENT VICTORIES
The Negro Leader Wants to Make
Race War Out of 1t.
Some Inside Facts Regarding the Revolt-rlore
News About the Firing on
the Allianca.

NEW YORK, March 21.-A special to a
morning paper from Nassau, N. p, says
Additional news continues to be received
from Cuba of insurgent victories in the
est. The latest and most startling yet
received is to the effect that Guillermo
Moncada, the negro leader of a band near
Guantanamo is one of the few men who
went to turn the revolution into race
war. 1t is also reported. that Moncada
surprised a large detachment of Spanish
troops near Guantanamo recently and
completely routed them. In this battle it
is said two hundred Spainards were killed
and wounded.
This was followed by cruel and inhuman
treatment of the Spainards by Monacada IS
TO rces. This is probably the same battle
reported by the Sapniards as a victory for
their troops led by Colonel Santo Clydes.
At that time it was reported that fifty OF
the insurgents were killed. There was but
one white man in Moncada's detachment.
After the battle he ordered this man to
leave camp, saying the whites had failed
to free Cuba in the last war and now in
dependence would be secured by the
negroes. Moncada's idea seems to be to
make another San Domingo of Cuba. His
attitude is deplored by the sympathiZers
of the revolutionary movement.
1t is reported that some attempt will be
made soon by the leaders to form u pro-
visional government. Nothing as yet
been heard of Jose Marti. Nothing has
been heard of the proposed expeditions
from Porto Rico and other points. The
assertion that the Allianca displayed the
English flag when fired on is regarded as
mere subterfuge.
HAVANA. Cuba, March 2l.-The Lucha
asserts that the steamship Ailianca when
fired on by the Spanish cruiser Conde de
Nenadito, had on board the Cuban rebel
General Antonio Maceo and his brother
Jose, and that she landed him at Sandy
Hook. The steamer Alfonso XIII. ar
rived at Guantanamo yesterday with two
battalions of infantry which were EN-
barked at Barcelona.
NEW YORK, March 21.-William Taylor
of Laurel Hid, l.. l., a travelling salesman
for b. Diaz u Company, importers of to-
bacco, who arrived from Havana on the
steamer Saratoga. said he was held a
prisoner on board the steamer Orizaba by
the Spanish government at Havana and
not allowed to land for sixteen hours.
Taylor was suspected by the Pinkerton
detectives at Havana OF being State Treas

is a fugitive from Justice.
