A MAJOR MURDERED.
Killed BY "a Captain Because of a
Court-NiartiaI.

San Diego, Cal, Dec. 11.-By the
steamer Pacheco, which arrived from
the south yesterday, news was re-
ceived Of the murder of Major Thomas
Alvarado, of the Twelfth infantry.

Captain Vicente Gotta. a descendant of
famous family in Mexico. Captain
/ Gotta had been undergoing a court mar
tial for alleged characterization, the
charges being preferred by Major Al
varado. The superior officer alleged
that on short campaign against the
Yaquis Captain Cola was insubordinate
on several occasions, refusing to go
over certain route on the way to the
Sierra Bacatete, failing to detail GER
tain men as ordered for special duty
and using language toward his SUI
perior both in defiance of orders and in
an insulting manner.
Gotta was furious when ne learned Of
these charges. He was kent closely
guarded during the progress of the
court martial, with two soldiers at
either hand and his own weapons taken
from him. After several days, how
ever. the vigilance was relaxed. and

Gotta on the head with their carbines

an outbreak was averted. The can

Miss Hattie's condition became so seri-
Gus that she was obliged TO rest. Her
trouble was nervous Drostration, and
fits OF depression were frequent
Mrs. Cooper recently expressed the
fear that the worst might be expected
in Miss Hattie's case, and had declared
that her own heart trouble was of
such nature that she would be unable
to survive the shock of her daughters
death. With this in view, Mrs. Cooper
and her daughter both prepared their
wills, and arranged everything as
systematically as possible. Perhaps no
more fitting obituary of Mrs Cooper
could be written than that penned by
that noted agnostic, Colonel Ingersoll.
Presenting Mrs. Cooper with a copy of
one of his famous books attacking the
religion of the churches, Colonel Inger-
soil penned on a fly leaf an inscription
which was at once a compliment and a

CHANGED OPINIONS.
Message More satisfactory Than at
First Glance.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Semi- official
advices from Madrid today, state that
government circles, as well as the con-
sentative element generally, are en-
tirely satisfied with the feature of the
presidents message which relates to
Cuba The first impression created by
the meagre reports cabled to Spain was
not satisfactory, and produced some ir-
ritation. When the full text of the
Cuban chapter appeared in the leading
papers of the kingdom, there was, it
is reported, a complete revolution Of
sentiment, and the presidents courte-
Gus and considerate treatment of the
subject received general approval. The
presidents utterances are taken, on the
whole, to indicate a better understand
ing between the two countries. These
advices contain the further informa-
ton that it is the intention of the Span
iSh government when certain of the
provinces are pacified, to give home
rule TO Cuba on the lines indicated in
the presidents message. Little fear of
Intervention is now felt.

of 200 100000 francs for constructing

owing to the objection of Admiral Bes-

objection TO NJ Lockroy's scheme grew

from eight to twenty feet in thickness
and is remarkable for its continuity;
surface openings have proven that the
main contact continues with great uni
formity for the whole 5000 feet Of the
mine. This ore is all free picking and
can therefore be taken out at cost of
81 per ton.
Two mines that are attracting great
deal of attention at present are the
Ajax" and its extensions and the "Red
Bandanna' group. A brief description
of the former is as follows: 1t is sixty
foot vein or ledge of minerali7ed lime
stone carrying 1875 in gold, of which
about half is caught on the plates and
balance is in the tailings which are be-
ing saved to concentrate. This mine
was discovered in the past year and the
present owners have repeatedly refused
sums of S25O,OOO and higher for the
property. There is over 100000 in sight
up to the tunnel breast and no reason to
doubt it's continuity. 1t is at present a
very profitable paying concern and was
decidedly poor mans" proposition, as
the present owners were men OF small
means who managed to gather enough
together to get up small stamp mill,
upon which they are adding very great
ly to the supply of what may be the
future only money standard.
There is smelter likely to be erected
in the near future in the Moreno valley
and no point presents better field for
the same as large vein Of hematite iron
ore carrying from four to twenty dollars
in gold; an abundant supply of lime
stone, much of it carrying good value
and plenty of copper ore in the imme-
date neighborhood, all suggests the
natural elements for smelter; and as
abundance of water and cheap fuel can
be had it seems astonishing that a smell
ter has not heretofore been located, but
it must surely come in the near future.
A superior quality of coke could doubt
less be put on the ground for seven or
eight dollars per ton, as fine coking coal
from good strong vein is found within
twenty or twenty five miles of the camp
over fine freighting wagon road.
