newsboy Is years of age, and brought
out the fact that Wilde took the boy
to Hotel Brighton.
"Why did you seek the boys soci-
ety." asked Carson; WAS it for an in
tellectual treat?"
''Oh, he was a bright, careless, anus
ing creature replied Wilde.
Carson here produced a silver cigar
cite case, a handsome cane and a book,
which Wilde admitted he had given
the newsboy. The cross-examination
then touched upon Wilde's relations
with various boys and men,, and the
questions were SO pointed as to be I'M
printable. Wilde. however, emphati-
cally denied he had done anything inn
proper, but he was troubled and con-
fused under the terrible cross-examina-
ton. He seemed ready to faint, and q
chair was placed inside of the witness
stand for his use. The Marquis of
Queensbury stood facing him and DID
not take his eyes off the man.
Cross-eXamination of Wilde was not
finished when the court adjourned at
p. m.
A large crowd assembled about the
Old Bailey to see Wilde leave.

Captain John r. DeLamar is back at
his old quarters at the Knutsford and
last night parlor A was the Mecca for
many mining operators who had bus
mess with the captain or who were in
dustriously endeavoring to interest
him in some of the many propositions
which are now being f1oated. But the
gentleman was too busy with his Camp
Floyd district deal to pay much at
tention to anything else. For some
time past Captain DeLamar has been
figuring on the purchase Of the Golden
Gate group near Mercur, considered to
be one of the most promising properties
in the district, and a corps of experts
made a thorough examination of the
mines. 1t is understood that the re-
ports made by the gentlemen were ia
vorable and upon their showing the
captain has devoted the past two days
to personal inspection of the Golden
Gate and one or two other mines in the
district, returning from the camp last
night AS is always the case With
mining men who return from their first
visit to the Camp Floyd district mines.
the captain is greatly enthused over
the splendid prospects of the new gold
district and last night expressed tho
opinion that it would speedily become
one of the heaviest, if not the heavi-
est, producers in the territory. He
previously had no idea of the great
showing there. The ore bodies of the
Mercur were surprises to him on ac-
count of their extent and evident rich
ness.
When seen last night by a Herald
reporter the captain stated that the
Golden Gate deal had not been closed
and everything would depend upon re-
turns received during the next day or
two from the assays of samples of ore
from the properties. An inspection Of
the group had shown to him that it is
a good piece of property It is antici-
pated that the deal will be closed
within the next few days. It is now a
question of values. The Golden Gate
group is owned by Mr.. Butts and asso-
ciates. 1t is located a little northeast
of the town of Mercur and almost east
of the Marion and Geyser. Assays re-
ceived from ore taken out of the work
ings have always given high values
There is an over-abundance of ar
senic, however, but it is said that this
Objectionable feature can easily be re-
moved. by roasting the ore. Should
Captain DeLamar decide to interest
himself in the Camp Floyd district. it
VIII mean much for the future OF the
camp, for he always goes in for the
very latest things in mills and ere
treatment, regardless of the cost. He
is of the opinion that the best is the
cheapest
Upon his return to this city the cap
tain received another dispatch from
his superintendent at DeLamar, con-
veying the information that the mill
is now operating to its fullest capacity,
sixty tons, and the values in the ores
are being saved to fully 961a per cent
with the chlorination. Just as soon as
the work can be accomplished the
plant is to be increased to one hundred
tons capacity. All of the necessary
machinery has already been ordered.

That owing to change IN the carrier
system all houses must be remembered
and that he furnishes the numbers at
20 cents apiece, which must be paid
by the occupant.
In several cases he has obtained
money in this way, in the instance re-
ferred to, getting so cents.
Of course his story is an unmitigated
falsehood and when he calls the house

a policeman can be found.

CUBANs ELATED.
They Arc Delighted Over the Insur-
gent Victories.

gent Victories.
Key West. Fla, April 3.-Private ad-
vices to prominent Cuban, per
steamer Olivettef last night, state the
Cuban insurgents numbering 1000
under General Masso, on the 18th ult.,
met a Spanish convoy of Fnule teams
with provisions and ammunition for
the Spanish forces. After a short fight
the escort, numbering 500 soldiers, sur
rendered to General Masso. The fight
took place at Holiquin, near Santiago.
The convoy consisted Of sixty-nine
teams, chiefly laden with provisions.
The CubanS here are elated over the
news. It is certain a large army Of
Cubans and negroes are 10 be organ
lied in Florida within few weeks.
This army will be dispatched from
either an Atlantic or Gulf port of
Florida. 1t is expected that quite a
number of Cubans from Tampa, Ocala
and Key West will join this movement.
A convention of Cuban leaders will
convene in Jacksonville in a few days
to devise plans for conveying men Co
Cuba. The opinion of well-informed
Cubans is that they must get their men
and munitions into the island before
General Martinez Campos, ordered
from Spain, reaches the island. The
Cubans fear General Campos more
than any of the Spanish generals. He
is familiar with the country and the
Cubans say he will put a Gordon of
vessels around the island ands make it
impossible to land expeditions.

z. H. Terry. who is operating quite ex-
tensiyely in the Blue Mountains. near the
Grand river, is in the city. He brought
with him samples of sand taken from
some newly discovered placer fields and
assays made of the sand yesterday at the
Office of Korty, Mayne & Co, gave re-
turns of $50 10 the ton. The gentleman
stated that there are millions of tons of
the sand awaiting treatment, and he is
now negotiating for the purchase Of a
machine which he thinks will take care
of the values. Mr.. Terry has for some
time past been working some rich placer
its which have recently attracted atten-
ton, and he brought up with him some
specimens of the gold found there. Speak
ing of the new placers the gentleman
stated that there is plenty of water and
an abundance of other necessary adjuncts
to a successful district.

Where is He2

Havana, April 3.-Much speculation
is INDUCED in here as to the move
ments of Antonio Maceo, the mulatto
insurgent leader, who was recently re-
ported as having sailed from a Central
American port for the purpose of TAX
ing the field in Cuba against the gov
eminent. 1t is the general belief that
he took passage on board an American
steamer, his intention being to land at
Cape May. 1t is surmised that he
landed at Fortune island, where he
wrote to his colleagues notifying them
of his failure to land in Cuba. His
movements subsequent to landing on
Fortune island can only be guessed at
There are not lacking IN government
supporters who charge that Maceo was
on board the American steamer Alli-
anca when she was fired at by the
Condo Vendito off the east end of
Cuba and that he would nave been
landed at Cape May If the warship
had not been there to prevent it.

Brutality Treated.
Ell Paso, Tex, April Be. P.
Thresher of Cambridge, Mass, with
his family, arrived here today from
Aguas Canentes, Mexico, where they
have served a term in Jail.
Mr.. Thresher is indignant at his
treatment and proposes to make the
matter one of international investiga-
ton. His story, which is said to be
verified, is that he stopped at the
Palace house, kept by George King.
When he prepared to leave, it is al
legged that King charged him double
the rate agreed upon. He refused to
pay.
King had him, his wife and three
children put in Jail, where they re-
manned until Consul Dwight furnished
bail. Then the mayor of the town
suddenly discovered that the whole
business was a mistake and released
the Americans with most profuse apol-
ogies. Mr.. Thresher went to Los An
geles, where he will leave his family
and return east for the purpose of
laying the matter before the state de-
partment with a demand for satisfac-
ton. Mrs. Thresher was Frustrated by
