The Water Supply Was Inadequate.

San Francisco, August IA local
paper says that suit for half mill
ion dollars is to be brought against the
city and the Spring Valley Water
Company by owners OF the property
destroyed during the great fire south OF
Market street four weeks ago. The
grounds of the suit will be based on
the inadequacy of the water supply,
inconvenient location of hydrants and

Indian Scare in Yucatan.

Mexico City, July 30.-Great alarm
exists in the town of Yaxacata, in the
state of Yucatan, on account of the
presence of hostile Indians. The town
was the scene of several massacres in
1854, 1855 and 1869, and was valiant
ly defended in 1859. Yucatan Indians
from the swamps and forests are entire
barbarians and supplied modern wea-

ers in the colony of Beliso.

A Cave FILLED With Skeletons.

Yuma, Ariz, August lon White
river, near Camp Apache, has been
found a remarkable cave. For 500
feet the explorers were obliged to
crawl on their hands and knees, using
candles and bull's-eye lanterns for
light. They found between 800 and
400 human skeletons, indicating the
remains of persons who had been
smothered to death by smoke long
years ago. Some of them were in crew
ices just large enough to admit hu-
man body. The skeletons are OF var1-
GUS sizes, some being very small. The
skulls are of brown color with the ex-
ception of a few, which are white.
The White Mountain Apaches are very
superstitious about the cave, and say
that within it there is large lake OF
water. The visitors found no water,
but intend to explore further. There
are but two ways of entering 1t.

ON TO JACKSON'S HOLE
Infantry at Market Lake Or.
dered to the Front.
FOUR DAYS TO MAKE THE TRIP
Settlers Are Expected to Attack the In
dians as Soon as the Troops
Are Close at Hand.

Market Lake, July 31.-The five
companies Of infantry that arrived here
last night have received orders to 60 to
the front at once, and will leave in the
morning for Jackson's Hole. 1t will
take ten days to make the trip. The
cavalry went about twenty miles to-
day. Every effort will be made to in
duce the Indians to return to their
reservations peaceably.
The troops have received word that
when they are near enough to render
hasty assistance the settlers are going
to attack the Indians. A band of 200
Or 800 Indians were on the trail of the
troops when they struck camp, and
fastened on toward Jackson's Hole.
DIR. Wonburn, of Rexburg, has just
come from that place with news that
]. Simmons and F. Cunningham, two
scouts, arrived at Rexburg last evening
straight from Jackson's Hole. They
report that no conflict has taken place
between the whites and Indians and
that matters are quiet.
The Indians to the number of 500
are in Hoback basin, about fifty miles
from Maryvale, where the settlers are
fortified and prepared to resist the saw
ages should an attack be made.
Agent TetOr's Telegram.
Washington, July 31.-The follow
ing dispatch from Agent Tetor, dated
Rexburg, Idaho, near Market Lake,
July 80, was received today:
ION the 29th inst. l met Sheriff
Hawley near Rexburg, returning from
Jackson's Hole, where he had been sent
to ascertain whether the settlers had
been killed by the Indians. Hawley
stated the settlers had not been mo-
Tested by the Indians, who are sup
posed to be encamped about forty miles
from the settlement in a practically
impregnable position. There is no
doubt of the fact that large body of
Lemhi Indians recently joined the other
Indians in Hoback basin.''
Speaking Of the Indian disturbance
in Northern Wyoming, General Scho-
field expressed his opinion in discreet
manner. The Indians will soon sur
render and return to their reservations.
The only way they could cause trouble
is by scattering and taking to the
mountains, but he thought it unlikely
they would precipitate hostilities now
that the soldiers are coming.
Speaking of a dispatch from Market
Lake, stating that Jackson's Hole set
tiers are to be arrested and tried for
killing the Indians accused of viola
ton of the Wyoming game laws, Com
missioner Browning says he knew of
no steps being taken in this direction.
He added the Indian Office would well
come legal test of the right of In
dams to kill game in defiance of state
laws. If the courts decide the law is
superior to the treaty of the United
States government with the Indians,
the matter will be settled, and he
would be glad of it, he said.

Formation of the Country Said to In
dictate Mineral Deposits.

Formation of the Country Said to In
dictate Mineral Deposits.
Tillamook, Or, August 1.-Sheriff
j. III. Jackson has just returned from
Siletz, where he and a party of four
others were prospecting the beach for
bearing black sand. They found
some very rich diggings, Captain Jack
son thinks He is an old mining ex-
pert, having followed the business the
last thirty years from Mexico to Alas
ka, and he has had experience with
beach mining.
The party staked off several claims
ON the beach few miles below the
mouth of Salmon river, and several
pans of black sand washed out showed
5 to 10 cents in bright gold, not the
thin, greasy appearing scale gold so
common in beach sands, and SO hard to
save. Captain Jackson says the forma-
ton of the country indicates mineral
deposits, and he believes that mining
will be one of the chief industries of
that section. He thinks that a rocker
will show much better results than the
pan did, and is Of the opinion sluicing
will pay we'll, as water is convenient.
Two men of the same party were
prospecting on the beach some time
ago, but were ordered away by the In
dams. The prospectors went away
without parley, telling the Indians
that "they were ready to quit, anyway,
as the sand was no good,' but the
miners waited until the reservation
was open, and then lost no time in
getting to the black-sand deposits, and
took surveyor along to measure off
the claims. The Indians had taken no
mineral claims on the beaches, confin-
ing themselves to the beautiful prairies
and bottom lands of the interior.
There was no rush on the north, or
Tillamook side, as has been reported,
and Captain jackson and his party saw
no one else making for the reservation.
The day the reservation was opened
a steamer came into the Siletz with
cannery outfit, and it is said salmon
are plentiful there. Both the Salmon
and Siletz rivers are fair harbors for
schooners, and from all report the ST.
letz country would be productive
community if the land were in the
hands of enterprising settlers.

The Typhoid Fever.

There is no additional cause for alarm
regarding the typhoid fever but it is satis-
factory to note that the authorities are
keeping up vigilant search for the causes
of the disease and the remedies necessary
The Health officer has taken steps towards
securing complete census of the cases Of
the fever now under treatment and the Of
ficials of the Marine Hospital Service are
conducting a meteorological examination OF
the Potomac water with a view to ascertain
ing whether there Is in the supply any of the
infection that is causing the unwonted in
crease in the prevalence of the disease 1t
is pity that there is no laboratory con-
rected with the Health Office for such a
purpose but the other Institution is well
equipped and Surgeon General Wyman is
giving evidence Of u disposition to aid DR.
Woodward in every way possible. The first
step being TO ascertain the source of infec-
ton, no real progress can be expected in
the eradication of tine disease until it is
found. Meanwhile every resident must pre-
serve an equable disposition and not give
way to fear, and at the same time exercise
dilgent care in the use OF food and drink

Judge Bradleys denunciation of Gen.
Schofields methods in dealing with Capt.
Armes in the case of the latter's effort to
read the retiring commander of the army
a lecture on his individual grievances Is a
most interesting addition to the literature
of the relations between the civil and mill
tary branches of the federal government.
1t certainly places a check upon the powers
of the military authorities over officers on
the retired list and may lead eventually to
new legislation in this line that will enable
those in command more effectually to pre-
serve discipline among members OF the
service who have been favored by ren-
sons The power of court-martihllinS n
retired officer of course yet remains but
the immediate effect of Judge Bradley's de-
cision, it would seem, is to make it mad
visable. at least, for a military commander
to seek to imprison for the purposes of
future trial a member of the corps OF re-
tired officers. Whatever the merits of the
Armes case may be, there is undoubtedly a
general feeling that it is unfortunate tnat
this affair should have occurred on the eve
of Gen. Schofield's retirement from the
service which he had honored so long. This
decision places the retired lieutenant gen.
eral in a most embarrassing position, which
probably he did not contemplate when, as
acting secretary of war, he was confronted
with the apparent necessity of maintaining
the dignity of army headquarters.

The Chcapness of the Trolley.

An accident that happened on the line of
the Tenleytown trolley road last evening
illustrates again the dangers from this
system of street railway propulsion. A
retten cross-bar dropping from one of the
trolley poles caused the wires to fall on the
ground. endangering the lives of both men
and beasts using the road. The entire
line was also rendered imperative for sew
eral hours. Such an accident would not
have happened with modern construc-
ton. Nor would it have occurred had the
equipment of the road been first-class.
involving the use of metal cross beams
instead of wood. One of the chief diff
culties standing between trolley construc-
ton and safety is this very element of
cheapness. No materials are dear that
warrant public safety, nor is any material
good, whatever its price, that involves
danger to any individual. 1t will be in
cumbent upon the next Congress to legis-
late out of the city limits the town end of
the Ten1eytown overhead line and TO re-
quire the company to replace it's dangerous
wooden eros; beams, that are now proved
to be sources of great danger, with more

Let the Fight Go On.

If II be true that the Capital Traction
Company has determined to make fight
against the Pennsylvania railroad for the
1atters Illegal occupancy of Virginia ave-
nue. in parking cars en- the tracks on that
thoroughfare. some interesting develop
ments may be expected. Two such great
corporations do not often lcck horns. but
when they do the results may be beneficial
to the public. No one has ever doubted
that the use of Virginia avenue as a car
yard is q menace TO life, especially as the
avenue is crossed by two great trunk lines
of street railroads. at Seventh and at Four
and done-half streets. Accidents have hap
pened from time to time that prove this
fact beyond any question, and 1t Is fortu-
nate that the street railroad company has
at last awakened to a realization of the
situation Ordinary citizens long ago came
to the conclusion that they must fight for
every inch of ground gained from the rail-
road company. Nothing has ever been
granted voluntarily. and President Dunlop
is now entering upon big campaign If he
proposes to carry to the limit his objection
against the unlawful occupation of one of
the finest thoroughfares in South Wash
ington by steam cars. In this effort he
can depend upon the support of every pat
ron of his road. and he will doubtless soon
be Joined by the officials of the Metropoli-
tan line, whose interests are as greatly en-
dangered as these of the newlyformed
Capital Traction Company. If these two
corporations should join hands and fight
the case not only in the courts. but before
Congress- then indeed would there be some
prospects of solution of the grade-cross-
ing question that has so long vexed the
community

Another Phase of Sackville's Case.
1t may be that the State Department can
take no official notice of the attack by Lord
Sackyilie on our ambassador in England
and on the American people class.
The course of the department is always
dictated by diplomatic usage ana, techni-
cally the act of Lord Sackviile may be
that of merely a British subject, for which
the British government cannot be held to
an accounta bility. That Lord Sackville has
been nursing a grievance was known, and
it might be expected that il. his private
Intercourse he would dwell upon his i'm
aginary wrongs. But when, with the delib
Grafton of print, he circulated among the
diplomatic corps at the court of st. James
u pamphlet of the character which has just
been given publication, purpose to dis
credit uur representative is clearly dis
closed ard grave offense is given to this
govern ment. If Lord Sackville Is an ire
sponsible person, If his action while min
lister at Washington destroyed his useful
ness in the British diplomatic service, and
if his retirement on pension placed him in
disgrace, a friendly sentiment toward the
United States should dictate to Lord Sails
bury the propriety of promptly disavowing
any sympathy with his calumnious utter
ances. The failure to make such a dis
evowal must leave the impression on the
American mind that Lord Sackvile has
expressed something more than his own
sentiments. The tone of the editorial COM
ments in London seems to warrant this
impression. London Truth" says:
Whether it courteous or judicious
fer Lord SackVille to publish this attack
when Mr.. Bayard is ambassador in London
is a debated question to which it may,
however, reasonably be replied that Mr..
Bayard immeasurably more discour-
teous and injudicious in his behavior toward
Sackville-West when the latter was at
Washington. Mr.. Bayard therefore, would
be mean to complain Of this point. But
the matter acquires exceptional interest
when it is considered side by side with a
recent dispute regarding the race for the
Americas cup. 1t should be remembered
that SackvlleWest was the victim of an
election trick.
AN indiscreet expression of opinion upon
his part was exaggerated for the purpose
of exciting anti-English agitation. The
trick successful and Sackville-W West
was handed his papers. England in the
person of her envoy, was grossly and wan
tonly insulted. Mr.. Cleveland, however
failed to secure the election
II this is a truthful expression Of British
sentiment toward the American people, the

matter is worthy of more serious consider

matter is worthy Of more serious consider
alton than slander by a disgraced and
retired diplomat would otherwise receive.
The comments Of the British press on the
yacht race fiasco were for the most part
mean and offensive and based on an un-
truth. If the British public are considering
the Sackville pamphlet, as Truth" sug-
gestso side by side with the recent dispute
regarding the race for the Americas cup"
then the American public may be excused
for considering the comment Of the British
press on that event side by side with the
comment on the present episode. Consid-
cred in this connection, it discloses a spirit
of most offensive unfriendliness. The rea-
sen for this may be found without scratch
irg very deep under the surface. The
attack of Lord Sackville is on Mr. Blaine as
well as on Mr.. Bayard; on the republican
party as well as on the democratic, and on
the American people as well as on their
public servants. In associating Ir. Bayard
with Mr. Blaine as an upholder of American
dignity he may bring our ambassador closer
to the affections of tie American people.
Mr. Bayard has for some time been regard
ed as altogether too feeble in his American
ism. The patriotic sentiment of this country
has always approved of Mr. Blaine in this
Bayard to dismiss Lord Sackvile after the
writing of the Murchiscn letter, if the con-
siderat!on of public sentiment overcame his
natural amiabil,ty toward those holding
America in contempt, it was entirely credit
able to him. even though, as Lord Sack
ville's statements imply, his first impulse
was timid. 1t Is healthy public sentiment
which impels a man to courage. The
writing of the Murchisoh letter by Lord
Sackvile was offeEse demanding his
dismissal regardless of its possible effect
on the political prospects of Mr.. Cleveland
and his party. But the question worthy of
most serious consideration is, how far the
British foreign office may be served by
having the American representative dis
credited among the diplomatic corps at
London Is it possible that Mr. Bayard
has, after all. been more vigorous in deal
ing with the question of British encroach-
ments on this continent than the public
has supposed? Has Secretary Olney really
adopted a vigorous foreign policy, and is
Mr.. Bayard truly representing that policy?
1t Is to be hoped so. The weak point in the
present administration has been it's man.
agement of foreign affairs, and nothing
would help so much to reinstate it favor
ably in public opinion as the display of
little robust Americanism by our State
Department in matters where the interests
of the American people are concerned.
