The city council did not act on the
levee Improvement matter last
night as anticipated. although Aid.
Gall of the special committee re-
ported that an ordinance had been
prepared in accordance with the COM
mittee's suggestion and was ready for
consideration. The COMMITTEES has
devoted . great deal of time to this
project during the last week, with
the result that . practical and COM
Prehensive plan has been placed in
the form of an ordinance. This ordi-
nance which would have been read
last night but for the fact that it was
the annual meeting of the council
and there were SO many reports to
dispose of that the aldermen felt in
no mood to tackle any exhaustive
subject. SO they adjourned the mo-
ment the levee ordinance was sug.
gested by Aid. Gall. At the next
meeting the long delayed matter will
come up, however, and then it is be-
lievsd the council will act upon it.
The General Plan.
The general plan of the improve
ment, which involves the paving
with brick Of Fifteenth from Second
to First. and the paving of First
avenue proper from Fifteenth to
Twentieth, the paving of the street
Intersections Of East Seventeenth,
Eighteenth and Nineteenth from the
north line OF the avenue to the low
water mark with Anamosa stone, the
planking of the railroad tracks aud
the macadamizing of the portions
between the streets and north of the
railroad tracks to the low water
mark. This will insure first class,
fine appearing levee. The cost to
the city of such an improvement
would be $4,000. OF this the Rock
Island & Davenport Ferry company
has agreed to pay $4,000, and the
railroads having volunteered to do
their part may be counted on for q
similar amount each, which would
reduce the city's part to Is, 500.
which it ought not to hesitate about
appropriating for such a much
needed project.
We will see q new First avenue
and new johbing and Wholesale
district as soon as the city does its
duty there-and the time to do it is
now

A NEW INVENTION.
W. G. Altenburgh Perfects a New h.
 Strument

Messinger & Altenburgh, the pho tographers. have perfected an inven- tion that will revolutionize photo graphy. Their invention cannot be explained in detail until protected by letters patent.
 The invention is diaphram which controls the lens and is capable of taking a view in the thousandth part of a second. The plate during the brief exposure is completely illuminat- ed and the focus is not concentrated on one spot as in all instantaneous lens. Another feature of the instru- ment is that a clear and sharp picture can be taken as far as the eye can reach.
 MT. Altenburgh is devoting consid- erable time to the perfecting of the instrument and by experiments has found that the working of the dia- phram is practicable to the smallest detail. He expects to have the instru- ment patented and on the market in three months.

THE NEW SURVEYOR GENERAL.
Hon. Geo. J. Roskruge Receives the
 Appointment for the Office.

By an Associated Press dispatch it is learned that Hon. Geo. J. Roskruge has been appointed surveyor general of Arizona and that his name has been sent to the senate for confirmation.
 In commenting on the appointment, the Tucson Star says: ''He has won his place by gradations and is per haps the only general in the United States who has done so. He walked into the territory in 1872 and has been continuously connected with some branch of the surveying depart ment ever since. His first position was packer and cook for a government surveying party He next became axman, then chairman and then com- passman, all the time mastering new details of the profession. In July, 1874, Hon. John Wasson, then sur- veyor- general, attracted by the char acter of some work which had come in- to his office. offered MT Roskruge a position as draughtsman. He accept ed it and came to Tucson where he has since resided He remained in this position until 1880 when he resigned to go into business for himself, but was soon after appointed deputy min eral surveyor. In June, 1893, he ac- cepted the office of chief clerk under his predecessor, General Manning. Upon the latter's resignation some months ago MT. Roskruge and several ether gentlemen became at once prom inently mentioned in connection with the vacancy. By reason of his long connection with the office and his rec ognized high qualifications, his ap- pointment from the beginning was al most foregone conclusion"

THE CUBAN AFFAIR.
Sherman Gives Long Speech on the
 Question

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-A large crowd filled the galleries in the sen ate in anticipation of the continuation of the Cuban debate, the final vote be- ing set for o'clock
 Shortly after the session opened Representative Hit, chairman of the house committee on foreign affairs, joined Senator Sherman, chairman of the senate committee on foreign rela- tions, in whispered conference at Shrmans desk. Lindsay, Democrat of New York, then addressed the senate on the Cuban resolution. He said the conflict in Cuba was being waged with such desperation that only one or two results could come, either the com plete independence of Cuba on the one hand or the utter annihilation of the Cuban people on the other. The sen ator said he approached the subject from the standpoint of humanity rath- pathy would avail nothing to the Gu bans, declarations that they had pro- gressed to the stage of belligerents would avail nothing. If the United States intends taking any step that will avail these struggling Cubans that step should be in the direction of the ultimate independence of Cuba.
 At 1:15 Senator Sherman began his speech closing the debates. He said he felt that the time had come when the United States must intervene to put an end to crime almost beyond description. He referred to severa, pamphlets presented by Estrada Pal ma, representative of the Cubans in this country, and said the statement overcame the misapprehension that the Cubans were scattered, unorga- nized bands. It showed an organiZa- tion of legislature, of president, the latter a man of high character, and it was as complete an organization as the United States had during the revolu- tionary war. Senator Sherman in the course of his speech declared that he did not favor Cuba's annexation to the United States, but strongly favored its annexation to Mexico, a kindred people.
 At :55 Cameron offered his resolu- tion for Cuban independence as an amendment to the committee resolu- tion. Sherman accepted the amend ment. At o'clock White offered his amendment to the Cuban resolutions. Sherman moved to lay it on the table. Sherman's motion carried. Yeas, 57; nays, 12.
 The White amendment expressed the sympathy of the United States with the Cuban cause and expressed the opinion that the executive should recognize Cuban belligerency. Sen ator Allen offered an amendment in the form Of a joint resolution request ing the president to issue a proclama-

IN A STATE OF WARFARE Revolution in Full Blast
 in Nicaragua. The Entire Country Is Under
 Arms. A Struggle Between Clericalism and
A Struggle Between Clericalism and Liberalism in Central
 America.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, wis Calves ton, Feb. 2S.-The revolution is now in full blast and all the cities of Mica ragua on this side of the country are in arms and preparing either to sup port President Zelaya or contribute men for the march of his enemies up- on the capital, Managua.
 The fugitives who have reached this city from Leon, the old capital of Mica ragua, headquarters of the rebels, which is opposed to the Liberal, or Zelaya party on general principles, and as a result of the differences of long standing, the chief of which is the transfer of the capital from Leon to Managua, say that Leon is in arms to a man, and rapidly organizing an army with which to advance upon Managua. They have the advantage of possessing more modern arms and artillery, but the adherents of the president are not discouraged, espe- cially as the Granada Conservatives, concerning whose attitude as a body there was some doubt, declared them selves today in favor of Zelaya. This means almost half of the battle won, for Masaya will undoubtedly follow the lead of Granada.
 The military authorities here are working night and day and the popu- lace is wild with enthusiasm. In short it looks very much like a struggle be- tween Clericalism and Liberalism, which may involve other Central American republics besides Nicaragua. From the present indications Presi- dent Zelaya will lead his army in per son against the rebels.
 The leaders of the Leonists, of course, are leaders of the Clerical par ty. but the hea,, 4.S tke. movement is General Ortiz, an eX-president and a staunch Clerical. He has been an act i've politician for a lifetime and has been more or less prominently con- nected with all the revolutionary movements of recent years.

More than $1,OOO was spent in the lecture field during the year. The G. c. T. reported but one appeal and his decision was affirmed by the grand lodge.

 Several important changes were made in the bylaws, and others will be proposed tomorrow. It is probable that officers will be elected this after noon, though that has not been de cided yet, and installation will take place at the evening session. The evening session will probably be held in the district lodge degree.

ARIZONA MINING NEWS Several Important Deals
 On Foot. Big Offer Refused for the Con-
 greSS Mine.
A Mining Expert Gives Some Im- portant Items on the Large
 Gold Producers.

Messrs. E. B. Gage, F. M. Murphy and IN. K. Fairbanks, owners of the Congress gold mine, have recently re- fused s2,000,000 cash offered by an English syndicate for their property.
 Over $9,0O0,00O worth of ore is i'm sight in this mine and it is the richest gold mine in Arizona. Preparations are being made to supplement the present 40-stamp mill with another 40-stamp outfit. A cyanide plant will also be added to have a capacity of 200 tons daily to handle the total out put of both mills.
 Work in the lower levels is being pushed as far as practicable to make connections with upper workings for a complete new ventilator Work is now carried on at the 1,40O foot level and better ore is being taken out at that depth than heretofore. It is learned on good authority that this ore assays from $1O0 to $500 gold per sack
 MT. Gage is also interested in the long talked of smelter to De located at or near Prescott, and but for the fac tion who wish to dictate, but put up no cash, he would have put it up on his own account, being satisfied it would net handsome returns.
 The White Tank mountains are again looming up. Recently two VI nc T, ai, suppressed visited these mountains and located two claims on a fifteen foot ledge of gold honeycombed quartz impregnated with oxide of iron.
 The average of thirty eight assays gave results as $9 per ton. Cleveland parties are now contemplating push ing the work on; these claims, and soon the busy miner and burro will be seen and heard in these mountains. The only drawback is a sufficient water supply.
 w. A. Clark, of Butte, Mont, prin- cipal owner of the United Verde Cop | per company, whose copper mines are located at Jerome, is now on visit to 1 Paris to complete a deal whereby the Paris syndicate will soon own the mine and properties of the United Verde Copper company. MT. Clark has recently, on the part of the com pany, refused $5O,0O0,0O0 for this prop erty. This same syndicate has re- gently bought secretly the big copper mines in Montana controlled by Jas. B. Haggin of San Francisco, and Mar GUS Daly of Anaconda The price paid was over $125,0O0,OOO United States gold coin.
 The Pearce mines in southern Ari- zona are being pushed as fast as the management can put men to work. They even contemplate putting in a short railroad of their own to con 1ect with the Southern Pacific rail- road to facilitate transportation of supplies and material to be used in the new mill which will have ca pacity of 150 tons daily.

MURPHY IS OUT OF IT His Name Will Not Be
 Presented. Destination of Our Delegate to
 Congress.
His Mind Is Apparently Fully Fixed Still Hopeful of State
 hood.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Delegate Nathan o. Murphy of Arizona will not be candidate for reelection. He has addressed a letter to a number of his friends and political supporters, in which he says: Having been writ ten to by several people who wish to know whether or not I desire a re- nomination for congress, I think it due my party associates to say that I shall not be a candidate nor allow my name to be presented for nomination under any circumstances. 1 make this statement at this early date to re- lieye my friends of any possible doubt on the subject, and I assure them I ap- preciate to the fullest degree the friendship and support which they have extended to me and will cheer fully and earnestly work for the nomi- nee of the Republican party and do all I can to help elect him. In the mean time, until the close of my term in congress, I shall do everything in my power to serve the best interests of Arizona according to my humble judg- ment and upon premises which I con- ceive to be right"
 MT. Murphy said that it was in no spirit of pique nor any distrust in his friends that causes him to take thas step. The life of a delegate in con- gress is not happy one at best, and his sole reason for withdrawing from the race is that he has had all the dela- gatorial honors he desires. MT. Mur- phy is still as sanguine of the ulti- mate success of the Arizona statehood bill, and is working just as hard for it as in the beginning of the session. He recognizes fully the fact that it is an uphill fight, however, and does not minimize in his calculations the in- fuence which is being excited by the gold men and Speaker Reed to prevent the admission of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma by this congress. Still he is encouraged by fresh assurances of support from member of the com mittee on territories who has hitherto been opposed to the measure, and he now feels confident that the bill will be favorably reported by the commit tee within a fortnight.
