Not Ashamed Of AppomattOH.

We are sincere in the belief that we
have as deep regard for the Confeder-
ate cause as any man living, and that
we are quite as sensitive as others to
any slight or affront to those who fought
the south's battles. But we utterly and
entirely fail to comprehend the objeo-
tions that are being raised by southern
people to the establishment of ma
tional memorial park at Appomattox.
In the name Of common sense is there
anything in Appomattox that we Of the
south are ashamed Of? On the contrary,
Is not the name itself synonym of
southern courage, of southern manhood,
Of southern sacrifice, of southern deyo-
ton to nciple?-Richmon State.

ITS OWN MEDICINE.

The County division bill which seq

yesterday in the morning session and
a motion was made to indefinitely
postpone the measure. 1t was lost by
vote of 81 to s and referred by the
same vote to the committee on County
and County Boundaries.

measure before the House. Washoe

The Sharp Inter Marriage Bill Con
sidered Another Nail in the
Enclosure.

TAHLEQUAH, l. T., Nov. 29.-The
Sharp inter-marriage bill. passed by the
Cherokee Legislature with only one dis
senting vote in the Senate and five in the
Council, provides for the entire repeal of
the present inter-marriage law and that no
non-citizen shall hereafter be adopted into
the Cherokee tribe by marrying Chero-
kee, Shawnee or Delaware Indian. 1t also
provides that those who have already be-
come bona fide citizens by marriage shall
continue to enjoy all the rights OF citizens
under the old law.
This is another nail put in the Enclosure
to keep out the white man. The full
bloods, who control both branches of the
Legislature, are trying to close up every
means of entrance; in fact, to put stone
wall around their territory. 1t is thought
that Chief Mayes, who is progressive
half-blood, will veto the bill, but should
he do so. the full bloods are prepared to
pass it over his veto.

A Yellow.Streaked Lode That
Promises to Yield Many
Fortunes.
UNLIMITED IN QUANTITY.
It SurpasseS in Richness and Scope the
Famous South African
Region.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Nov. 29.-Recent
discoveries of vast gold fields have been
made at Mercur, about sixty-tive miles
south of Salt Lake City, which give every
indication of making that place not only
the largest and richest gold mining camp
in America, but in the world. For about
two years only one property has been
operated, and that by the Mercur Gold
Mining and Milling Company, and in that
period it has paid dividends of over 5000, 200.
1t now appears that the valley for many
miles in every direction contains ore
equally as rich or richer than the Mercur
Company's property. Within very short
period, a district of seven by three miles
has been almost entirely taken up, and
fully 1000 miners and prospectors are at
work. Three new mills have been started,
and are now operating even more profit
ably than the original one. New discover
les are being made daily, and there is great
excitement. The extent of the surface in
which the ore is found appears to be prac
tically unlimited, and the stock of numer-
Gus companies which have been recently
incorporated is eagerly sought for at from
so cents to 81 share.
Captain de Lamar, the multi-millionaire,
recently obtained an option to purchase
the properties of the Mercur Company for
81, SOC, 900. The option runs until January
6, and there is scarcely doubt but that he
will take it up.
The ore is of a character different from
any other gold ore in the world. 1t bears
some resemblance to quartz, and is being
treated by an adapted cyanide process. 1t
is medium grade, running from $12 to $14
to the ton. although in spots it runs as
high as $500, but the quantity of it seems
to be practically unlimited.
English experts who have thoroughly
examined the ground say that in richness
and scope this field is greater than those OF
South Africa. Paw ore is found at depth

A MILITARY INQUIRY.
A Special Commission Investigating the
Affairs of the Nationals.

Companies c and G, better known as the
Nationals, of the First Infantry Regiment
are being investigated by the order OF Gov
ernor Budd. THESE companies are the
oldest military organizations in the City
and their armory on Ellis street, near Polk,
is elegantly furnished.
Naturally the other military companies
are Jealous, and from time to time rumors
have been set ahoat concerning the manner
in which the companies spent their appro-
priations.
Complaints on these lines reached the
Governor, who was not sorry to order an
investigation, as he had been told that the
Nationals had worked against him in
politics. During the past fourteen years
the Nationals have received $4,000
from the State. The investigating
commission is composed of Lieutenant
Colonel Fisher of the Governors staff,
Lieutenant-C Colonel Stone of General Di-
mond's staff, Major Jansen of the First
Infantry and Major Duboce of General
Warfield's staff.
The board is instructed to ascertain
how this $4,000 has been dis.
bursed and whether or not in the
proper direction. So far the inquiry
which was begun Wednesday evening, has
not been productive of startling develop
ments. The captains of both companies
say they can account for every cent, and
are not in the least worried over the in

Spanish Batteries Caused Great
Havoc in the Ranks of
the CubanS.
REBELS BADLY HANDICAPPED
It Is Feared That Their Army in the
West Is in a Very Pre-.
cariouS Condition.

BOSTON, MASS, Nov GA dispatch to
morning paper from Santiago de Cuba,
dated the Goth, says:
News has just reached this city of two
large battles fought on the 18th and 10th
inst. near Puerto Principe. A portion of
the insurgent army of the East on its way
TO REINFORCE the army at present combat
ing with the Spanish advance from the
direction of Havana was surprised by an
equally large body of regulars, mostly cav
airy, who had been securing the country
for the purpose of putting stop to the
establishment of railroad lines and the
alleged terrorizing of the inhabitants of
the sugar plantations. The insurgents
were totally unprepared for the attack.
They rallied Immediately and made "a
desperate stand in the, woods, but the
Spanish batteries soon silenced their fire
and caused them to retreat to the head
quarters of the Eastern Division, near
Santiago de Cuba. The battle on the 18th,
fought near the same spot, proved another
victory for the regulars. A force of insur-
gents, numbering about 800, were caught
in trap by Spanish cavalry and with the
exception of few, who managed to escape,
killed or captured.
The insurgents loss in both battles is
stated at nearly 500 men, while a similar
number were taken prisoners. In insur
gent ranks it is feared that the army now
operating in the west at the approach to
Havana is in very precarious condition,
as each day the Spanish field army is in
creasing in force and some desperate fight
ing is expected.
The insurgents are at all points heavily
handicapped by the power of the Spanish
field batteries, which thus far have caused
more destruction in the insurgent ranks
than from any other cause.
Another dispatch from Havana says that
General Campos has returned to that city
for the purpose of sending re-enforcements
to the front and TO confer with the authori-
ties. He states that his campaign is pro-
crossing rapidly and that he is constantly
forcing the insurgents backward.
The Spanish authorities deny all state
ments that re-enforcements are icing
landed for the insurgents. The Gordon of
warships has proved very effective and the
filibustering expeditions have kept clear of

TO CARE FOR THE LEPERS
Surgeon General Wyman Asks
for a National
Hospital.
If Congress Carries Out His Wishes
the Establishment Will Be on
This Coast.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 29.-Sur-
geon-General Wynn an of the United States
Marine Hospital has made report to Sec
rotary Carlisle which will soon be made
public. He recommends that Congress
pass an appropriation for National hos
pital for lepers. He does not recommend
any amount of money nor any particular
location. but if Congress carries out his
wishes the hospital will be on the Pacific
Coast, and in all probability near San
Francisco.
The recommendations of DR.. Wyman
are in line with an address he made on this
subject in Washington some months ago
before the Congress of American Physi-
clans and Surgeons. In 1889 circular
was issued blythe Surgeon General forbid
ding the entry of any vessel unless a GER
tificate was shown that the vessel had no
lepers aboard. DIR. Wyman said in his adj
dress that the immigration law of the
United States providing for medical in
spectlon of immigrants forpids the landing
of immigrants afflicted with loathsome or
contagious diseases, and furnished an ad-
ditional protection against importation of
cases of leprosy. These laws and regula-
tive.
~ am informed by the sanitary in
spector stationed at Havana" he says,
THAT several persons afflicted with leprosy
desiring to immigrate to Florida have
been debarred from so doing by reason of
these restrictions. National control OF
Ieprosy within the United States has been
frequently advocated, particularly by
State and municipal boards of health
when finding such cases upon their hands
and DESTROYS of being relieved of their
care. The arguments for such control, of
course, are based upon the presumption
Of contagiousness of the disease (even
though moderately contagious) and upon
the claim that where no segregation of
cases or TO supervision of cases not
colonized is enforced the disease gradually
increases in prevalence, and that where
segregation or colonization. has been en-
forced the disease has been made to dis
appear. One reason alleged for National
establishment is the fact that in some
States the disease is of so rare occurrence
that the erection of special hospital or
place of confinement for lepers is scarcely
justified and it is desirable, therefore,
that there should be established an asylum
to which any of the States might send
these unusual but highly Objectionable
patients.
