In fact. in residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat and they recovered. Their condition, however. was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of 110 degrees is not as oDfJres- give as 80 degrees ia St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference befwaau the apparent and sensible temperature to bs fulls 30 degrees At nearly all times there is pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the Warnsst days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardeas of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or mora old,
 UNTOUCHED BY FROST.
 Orange and lemon trees require slfght pro- tectiou during the winter for a year or two until the wood is sufficiently hardened.
 While it is popular thing for one to say that h5 Is mot here for his health i it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- rnents no climate on earth is equal to Soutb- ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but n few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is something better than n a health resort.
 That portion of the great Casa Grande valley lying along the line of the Southern Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa 5randa and Ar izola IS at present, and with good reason considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari-

Senator Wilson's Brother Would

in Utah.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Mr. To-
mas Estrada Palma, the diplomatic
representative of the Cuban republic
to the United States, arrived in Wash
ington yesterday and joined Mr.. Ben
jamin Guerra, the treasurer of the re-
public, who had preceded him, and Mr..
GOnzalo de Quesada, the charge daf-
faires. Mr. Palma declined to be inter
viewed on the subject of his visit here,
but there is no doubt that it will have
an important bearing on the future
policy of the Cubans in this country,
who are striving to secure action fa-
vorable to them from the United States
government.
The present administration, it is now
believed, intends to preserve an atti-
tude of strict neutrality between Spain
and the Cubans, and will not favor one
side or the other so long as there is
not open and fragrant violation of the
of nations 1t is understood that the
Spanish minister has been plainly in
formed of this policy, and that he did
not relish the Straightforward manner
in which the information was impart-
ed to him.
The impression seems to prevail in
well-informed circles tha.N the senti-
ment of the present Congr%s in favor
of justice being shown TO >de Cuban
revolutionists is even more p >unc-
ed than that of its predecessor, and
many expect that when the House fin
ishes it's consideration of the tariff
bill and the measure goes to the Sen
ate that the affairs of the island will
be made the subject of discussion by
the lower body of CC-~snsa The ac-
tion now being taken ,@8 state
legislatures, and powerful organiza-
tions and associations demanding some
definite settlement of the war in Cuba
will be the means by which the atten-
tion of Congress will be called to the
matter.
The Cuban representatives now here
seem to be even more confident, if
possible, of the successful result of the
revolution than they have been hereto
fore, and declare the prospects for free
dom are growing brighter every Gay

VOLCANO IN UTAH.
Great salt Lake Effected by Submarine
Disturbances

Great salt Lake Effected by Submarine
Disturbances
The Washington Star says that what
appears TO be a genuine volcano recent
ly has burst forth in Great Salt Lake,
a short distance southwest from Pro-
mOntory station. on the Central Paci-
fic railway. The phenomenon first ap-
peared recently in the form of small
cloud lowering over the water about
a mile and a quarter from the shore.
1t gradually increased in dimensions
and shot up so high In the air that it
is now visible for a great distance
and the water in the immediate vicin-
'ity boils and seethes and the spray is
thrown upon the air for hundreds of
feet.
The volcano is situated in the big
arm of the lake on the west side of a
long range of mountains, and is dis
tinctly visible from Brigham City. The
phenomenon is accounted for by the
fact that for the last six months there
have been felt several slight shocks of
earthquake in these regions, and it is
supposed the fire and lava which have
been confined in the subterranean
depths have now found an outlet and
are spending their force.
A number of people have witnessed
the phenomenon, which has caused
considerable alarm in the vicinity.

CRUISERS ARE SPEEDY.
United states Naval Officers are Proud
of Their ships.

tn1ted states Naval OiltcefS are Proud
of Their ships.
San Francisco papers say that in
view of the assertions that have been
made with frequency in congressional
debates and elsewhere that the trial
trips of our naval vessels were made
under such artificfiiaI conditions fa-
vorable TO the ship that their records
could never be repeated without spe-
cial preparations, the Navy Depart
ment officials are feeling much COM
fOrted by the reports coming in from
some of the captains of our cruisers
who have been, putting their ships
through their PAGES, just to learn how
much they have deteriorated.
The San Francisco had just come
out of dock in the Mediterranean when
Admiral Selfrie.se ordered her to make
run for few hours. The vessel rush
ed away at eighteen knots speed and
kept this up for ten hours without
stop, making a record of high efficien-
cy for ship of her class There was
no hitch or heating of journals or
other fault to be found with the ma
chinery, and while the speed average
was not as high by a knot and a half
as that made on the trial trip of the
San Francisco. it is the general belief
that the ten-knot record under service
conditions is far better than the record
made on the trial trip, which lasted
l3ur days.
Captain Schley of the crack cruiser
New York started away from Hampton
Roads for New York the other day and
giving the signal to let out the ship
she steamed along for four hours at
eighteen knots. and that without re-
sorting to forced draught which is
used on speed trials In each case the
runs were made without any addition
to the fire.

TO REVOKE FORESTRY ORDER
Western Senators Petition the Presi-

Western Senators Petition the Presi-
dent to that Effect.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. March IL
Senator Wilson of Washington is try
ing to secure the revocation of the or
der of President Cleveland setting
apart forest reservations in different
states. An opinion has been rendered
by the assistant attorney general for
the Interior Department that President
Mckinley has the power to declare void
an order made by his predecessor. A
letter has been prepared by Senator
Wilson and signed by himself and by
Senators Carter of Montana and Clark
of Wyoming in which the urgent ne
cessity for multiplying the recent order
is set forth. These matters will be
presented TO the President at an early
date. President Cleveland's order was
issued on the recommendation of the
national forestry commission. It covers
over 20 900 600 acres. The ground for
the demand that the order be revoked
is that many settlers are within the re-
servation and will lose their homes.

When ill-health precedes maternity, death
rocks the cradle. If woman suffers from
neglected disease or weakness of the dis
tinct1y feminine organism during the period
preceding motherhood, she not only risks
her own life. but that of the unborn babe.
Thousands of women suffer in this way be-
cause their natural modesty will not permit
them to undergo the humiliatirg exarlina-
tons and local treatment upon which nearly
all physicians insist
This is entirely unnecessary. An eminent
and skillful specialist, DR.. r. " Pierce, for
thirty years chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, NJ Y, is the discoverer of
wonderful medicine for all troubles of this
nature without recourse to obnoxious local
treatment The medicine is known as DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t acts di-
rectly and only on the delicate and import
ant organs that make wifehood and mother
hood possible. 1t makes them strong,
elastic and healthy. 1t fits a woman for
motherhood and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless. An honest druggist
will not try to substitute an inferior remedy
for the sake of extra profit.
Mrs. William Vincent, of S;dnaw, Houghton
Co. Mich, highlands Camp tBoX b, writes:
"When first began 10 take your l'avorite Pre-
