MINES SHUT DOWN
FOR LACK OF WATER

STOCKTON, Aug. 31.-Reports from
Calaveras and the southern mining re-
gions show that nearly all the principal
mines are shut down for lack of water.
Several closed the first of the week. A
few on the line of the new flume being
built by the Utica have made arrange
ments to buy water when this work is
finished. which will be some time In Oc-
tober. Other mines have to wait to get
the effects of the fall rains. In mining
towns actual drought In many instances
prevails.
Water is being sold in Valley Spring by
the bucket. There are but three wells in
Valley Spring that contain any water,
and the supply in these is quite limited
No water can be taken from these three
wells without the consent of the owners.
1t is estimated one-half the mines in
Calaveras are shut down or running on
q limited scale, but some hope to reopen
the last of next month where they are so
situated as to have access to mountain
streams.

MADE FAVORABLE IMPRESSION
A DELEGATION OF REGISTRARS
EXPLAIN TO COMMISSIONERS.
Opinion From the Attorney Solicited
Business Before the County
Board Yesterday.

Until County Attorney Van Colt rem
ders an opinion on the query of what
constitutes a days work in hours, the
board of county commissioners will
hold in allegiance it's decision affecting
the compensation of registration
agents. AT yesterdays meeting of the
board, much time was given to j. H.
Parry, f. J. Rawlings, Harry 7. Ball,
M. L. Perry and other registration Off
GERS, to explain the nature and extent
of their duties and the work performed.
At the conclusion of the hearing it was
evident the commissioners were so
much better informed on the subject
that it is safe to assume the registrars
will receive greater compensation for
their services than the board had been
inclined to allow.
Following. the consideration of this
matter, the board approved a large
number of claims filed by election
judges. The claims run from So to over
50 and the aggregate of the 264 claims
will be about $1,000.
Several matters relating to relief
from delinquent tax sales and alleged
excessive and erroneous valuations for
this year were passed upon, and later
the board made appropriations for a
big grist of current expense claims.
BY resolution of the board the change
in the boundary line between school
district No. SO, Mill Greek, and 2S, Big
Cottonwood, was made as petitioned for
last week by Samuel Cornwall and
others.

SPIRIT WRESTLERS COMING.
Prosecuted Russian Sect Will Settle
IN Manitoba

New York, Nov. 14-According to
Aylmer Maude, an Englishman. who is
in this city in behalf of the DonkhoJ
bortsi, or spirit wTestlers,' a persecutk
ed Russian sect, they will be taken To
the extreme west of Manitoba. Mr..
Maude has lived in Moscow for more
than 20 years, and, through Count Toll
stoi, became interested in these peas
ants. Last August he found that the
Canadian government would give free
land-160 acres to each family-becides
a bonus of Sc to each person, and shell
ter through the winter, for the 1900
persons that are expected to leave Rus
STA soon. The remainder of the sect,
ne said, would come over next spring.
The DonkhobortSi did not have
enough money to bring them to Cana
da, but what was lacking has been
raised in England, chiefly from Quak-
ers, and by the sale of story written
by Tolstoi years ago, but laid aside as
of no Importance. Mr.. Maude said that
the fund now being raised in this cOun-
try is wanted to assist in procuring
agricultural implements and horses
and cows. Mr. Maude said that it is
not true that the Russian government
has given the Donkhobortsi two years
in which to emigrate. The permission
to emi9rate was given last February,
and may be recalled at any time, which
is the reason for the haste to get these
people out of Russia. He said that the
dowager empress was mainly instru-
mental in securing this decree. She
was travelling through the Caucasus
and saw the sect. which excited her
sympathy Prince HilEoff, nephew OF
the Russian minister of railroads. and
who was banished for sympathy shown
! to peasants and SectarianS, is aiding
Mr.. Maude in this country.

City Is Practically In a State OF
Siege.
VOLUNTEERS DISBANDED
UNPAID TROOPS ARE T-EATED
WITH BRUTALITY.
Military Governor Murders An Inof-
Tending Guard-Army Is Utterly
Demoralized and Officers Have
Lost Control-People Alarmed By
Spread of Yellow Fever.

Havana, Nov. Is (via Key West, Fla,
Nov. 14).-The mutiny of the Orden
Publico forces, which for two days
threatened the peace of this city, has
resulted in the dissolution of that body
today, when, after the payment of some
arrears and the promise of a full liqui-
dation, the revolving troops laid down
their arms. Captain General Blanco
then ordered all the foot and mounted
regiments of the Orden Publico to be
diSbanded, that organization ceaSing to
exist from this date.
The Havana mutiny, which was
started Wednesday, was precipitated by
General Arolas, the military governor
of the city. whose fiery temper and
brutal treatment of officers is the
source of daily spreading discomfort.
About two blocks from the scene of
the mutiny, General Arolas party came
upon an innocent and unsuSpecting
member of the Orden Publico, who was
unarmed. Mad with fury, General Aro-
las drew his sword and savagely at
tackled the man, inf1icting on him Sc
we're wounds, from which the victim of
the assault died this morning. In the
miX-up, Lieutenant Malta, General
Arolas' aide-de-camp, had his head cut,
supposedly by General Arolas' sword,
as it was the only one drawn.
The city today continues to be pa
trolled by regulars, who are quartered
in the principal thoroughfares, parks
and squares of the city.
The uprising, which has been settled
on the only possible basis-that of cash
affords a palpable illustration of the
condition of affairs here and of the ut
ter decentralization of even the army,
where the officers have lost control of
the troops.
/ Although the possibility of further
uprisings is secuted among the military
authorities, there is reason to believe
that trouble is anticipated among the
civil, artillery and even other regular
forces, as proved by the fact that the
troops continue to be confined to their
quarters, and that the city of Havana
is practically in a state of siege.
Last night the guardia civile outposts
stationed at Arroyo Apollo, Jesus del
Monte Calvario and Managua, on the
outskirts of Havana, numbering about
! 200 men. gave indications of an inten-
! ton to follow the example of the Or
den Publico and come to the captain
generals palace to make demonStra-
! ton against the withholding of their
pay.
The military authorities, as q, meas
ure of precaution, sent a battalion of
regulars to the barracks, md a similar
/ precaution was taken al The guardia
/ civil barracks in Havana, no commun-
icatfon between the two detachments
! being allowed.
The United States and Spanish evac-
uation commissioners will hold a joint
session on Wednesday morning to de-
termine definitely the limits regarding
property which the Spaniards may re-
move and dispose of.
The alicante, with 900 members Of the
! Orden Publico and 20 officers and 900
soldiers of the regular forces, sailed
this afternoon.
