\ Large Concourse Greet the Bishop-His
Efforts Successful.
The Bishops visit extended from
Friday last until Monday and was the
most interesting time, from an Episco-
palian point Of view, eve known in the
town. Saturday evening a very large
number attended to hear a lecture upon
confirmation, and at this service
the Bishop baptized the remnant
left by Rev. j.. j.. BOwker, who
baptized eleven adults the previous
week. Sundays confirmation the Bish-
OPP speaks of as the most remarkable,
everything considered that he can re-
member in the diocese, ten men were
included in the number confirmed.
There is no doubt whatever that if
Pony had not been practically miners
ed by the rain, others would have been
confirmed, who gave their names. The
church was beautifully decorated.
Mrs. Adkin and Mrs. Bowker joined
in the musical part of the services.
The addresses by Bishop Brewer
were, if possible, more impressive than
ever.
The Bishops itinerary in this d.
rection is as follows: Confirmation at
Virginia City on Thursday evening
next week at 1880 p. M; at Ennis Sun
day morning the 9th at II a. m. At
the evening service in Virginia City on

A LURID FAKE.
Daily Item.

Daily Item.
The information comes from
Key West, Fla, that the Spanish
authorities are plotting the de-
struction of that city "by the sea-. /"
The details come through the
usual channel; a letter written by
a "well-known and reliable gentle
man to a FRIEND" which, in this
instance, is evidently an attempt
to put human credulity to the Sc
verest test.
The motive which prompted
Weyler, the Spanish commander
at Havana, to thus violate the laws
Of neutrality and burn a city in
Cleveland's domain, and right I'M
der his very nose, in his desire to
destroy at one fell swoop this nest
of "insurgent snakes"
Weyler has, according to this
latest information" concerning
his intentions, developed a new
theory in the art of war, which if
startling has the virtue of origin
atty. "If," says Weyler-or ra-
Their the latter says he says
key West and Tampa were laid
| in ashes l would soon be able to
settle the rebellion" Might The
Item inquire at what time Weylel
and Spain would be ready to "set.
tie" with the United States.
If reports be true, and Weyler'l
military conduct would lead us to
believe them reliable, he is a long
range fighter, more inclined t.
CAB with his mouth than jab will
a bayonet, and as Dick Taylor
said of an officer under his com
mand during our war, has a tropi
cal fertility of promise and al
arctic sterlity of execution. Be
ing thus thusly, The Item is in
clined to believe that there i
more wind than fire in Weyler'
threat to burn us up in Florida il
order to str ike terror to the rebel
lous hosts within an hours marcl
of his outposts in Cuba.
