BIsBEE, Ariz.. May l9, 1898. Editor of THE ORB:
 Please express my heartfelt thanks to the Tucson citizens tor their hospitality, generosity and courtesy shown the visiting members of the Arizona Medi cal society. Their beautiful homes adorned by lovely women and children, carpeted, velvety and verdant lawns so pleasing to the eye, their polite hotel keepers, their brilliant and affable lawyers, all cause scintillation and sparkling in our cerebral con volutions as acutely as their champagne did in our gullets and stomachs at the elegant banquet, though no less pleasing than the satisfactory signs and symptoms of duty we'll done shown by the doctors of Tucson. Wined, dlned and ban queteds hown the splendid University 50 nicely kept and so ably managed and largely attended by students, greeted on all sides by cheerful smiles, hand some and sweet bouquets of flowers and good wishes by all as individuals and as a scientific body of workers, with deep sense of realization of the appreciation of our Tucson brethren, with favorable prognosis for repetition of such de- licious feast of good will, profit and joy, who is it who would not feel grateful God bless Tucson's doctors, lawyers, druggists and citizens.

The Meeting.

In response to the call published in THE ORE for mass meeting of the citi- zens at the school house for the purpose of deciding whether or not we should have 8 celebration on the Fourth of July, quite number were in attend ance. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Sweet of the last commit tee, who stated the object of the meet ing. By a unanimous vote it was agreed that our national holiday should be fit- tingly observed. In accordance with the plan of last year chairman was elected who will choose his executive committee of ten. V. R. Stiles was elected to fill this position. Allie Sowles was elected chairman of the ro- liciting committee. B. J. O'Reilly was appointed secretary of the executive committee, while Lewis Williams was unanimously elected to fill the position of treasurer, which he has so faithfully filled on similar occasions for three years past.
 It was the sentiment of the meeting last night that the celebration this year bs held entirely in town this year, and the sports that have heretofore been held below town be dispensed with on account of the trouble on last Fourth. The executive committee will be chosen this week and will begin at once the work of arranging the celebration.

Gravel Flying.

The first work on the proposed exten' sion of the Nacosari railroad was com. msnced yesterday at mile post ~, neal what is known as Deer Point, by some thirty or forty grading teams. The first four miles of tho road will bs pushed rapidly, this being the distance to the international line. Whether the work beyond will be started soon we arc at present unable to state. The old rails that have been taken up from tho road between here and Fairbank will be used on the new road. The railroad will cross the line at Naco, and already the ground adjacent thereto has been located ios half . mile on both sides. Naco is bound to become . tbriving city, as both custom heuses will bs moved there, and with the railroad will give consid>xable revenue to the place.

Fever is not dangerous with ordinary
precautions. The roads are utterly bad

Light cotton underclothing should al

PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION.

Tashlngton, June 4.-The Washing
ton Post this morning says: There is
absolutely no doubt in the minds OF the
naval officials In Washington that the
sending of the collier Merrimac into the
harbor was all a prearranged move on
the part of Admiral Sampson. The use
of a collier, the unusual hour OF the
morning, the necessity Of blockading the
channel so as to relieve some OF tie
ships of the squadron from remaining
stationed off Santiago, the Importance
of discovering whether the mines were
effective-all these reasons make II GER
tain that the Merrimac was deliberately
guided to her destruction. 1t was not
Spanish victory; 1t was cleverly ar
ranged scheme on the part OF the Ameri-
can admiral, and 1t was successful.
"The eight men In Spanish prison are
the real heroes OF the wer. II the Merri-
mac went In under her own crew, ii is
interesting to know that her complement
OF officers consisted of Commander J. NJ.
Miller Lieutenant w. w. Glmer, execu-
tive officer; Ensgns J r.. Y. Blakely and
j. M. Luby and Assistant Engineer r.
X. Crank. Miller is from Missouri, Gill
mer from Virginia. Blakely from Penn

sCHLEY MAKES REPORT.

Washington. June "A brief bulletin
telling OF Commodore Schley's recon
Nuisance at Santiago on Tuesday was
all the information the navy department
had to contribute to the press yester-
day. This bulletin confirmed the dis
patches. 1t appears from the bulletin
that Commodore Schley conceptrated a
pretty good Gre upon the Spanish de-
lenses, and 1t seems probable that, had
he found conditions more propitious than
they were. he would have resolved the
reconnaissance into an assault In force.
The natural strength OF the Spaniards'
position and the formidable character
of their batteries as indicated by Com
modore Schiey have confirmed the naval
officials in the belief that they have been
wise not TO direct such reckless assault
upon the place I'm the absence OF proper
forces as has been advocated In some
quarters.

SINKING OF THE MERRIMAc.

Port-au-Prince. Hayti. June 4.-Yes-
terday morning the American squadron
again began a bombardmento of the forti-
hcations of Santiago, and lively can
nonade ensued for two hours. which
silenced the Spanish batteries. An
American vessel, the Merrimac. de-
scribed in advices from Santiago as an
auxiliary cruiser. making dash to force
the entrance, succeeded in passing the
first line of defense, but wat.atorpedoed
about 500 feet UP the channel. She went
down perpendicularly. An officer. an
engineer and six sailors were taken
prisoners. The number OF victims is not
known. Only the funnel and mastheads
of the vessel can be seen.
There is great excitement in the city.
A part of the populace assisted in the
fighting on the heights. Everybody is
astounded at the audacity of the Ameri-
can vessel. The American squadron was
cruising all the while in the offing.

TO BE DEFERRED.

Washington. June NAVAL officers
are giving out the impression that the
general attack on Santiago is 20 be de-
ferred until the troops arrive from
Tampa. III this is so then nothing can
be expected In the way Of an engagement
for some time to come, for IL was stated
at the war department that no troops
have yet boarded the transports, and
several days will be required to make the
passage from Tampa to Santiago.
The attention OF naval officers has been
attracted to the position in the harbor
occupied by the Spanish flagship. Cris-
tobal Colon, and the hulk. Reina Mer-
cedes. Lying in the narrowest part OF
the channel. the ships. when in danger
OF capture, might be scuttled and thus
absolutely prevent the entrance OF the
American ships. While this would also
prevent the egress OF the Spanish ships,
IL would tend TO make the reduction OF
Santiago an extremely difficult task and
one requiring a long time. for the Span
ish ironclads lying In the harbor could
be counted upon 70 repel any attack
coming from the land side until such time
as the troops managed to secure the sup
port OF heavy artillery.

Washington, June 4.-The navy de-
partment has found It necessary to ex-
plain the method 1t has employed of ad :
vancing on the naval list captains of
vessels engaged In the battle of Manila.
T9ere appeared to be great inconsls-
tency In the recommendation, Captain
Frank Wildes OF the Boston. for instance,
going up only five numbers. while Com
mander Wood OF the little Petrol Jumped
10. Admiral Dewey himself went up
only two numbers. The reason for this.
according to the department oGciaIs. is
that number In the higher grade is
worth much more than number ip the
lower grade. SO that what appears an
inequality is. in fact. exact equality as
near as calculation could make IL.
The advance OF these officers on the
navai list has caused very curious
skips.' such. for instance, as in the
case Of Captain Sigsbee, Captain Crown
inshield and Captain O'Neil of the ord
nance bureau. who were all passed over.

MOTHS IN BAY STATE.

Boston, June 4.-Friday the senate
refused to reconsider the vote by which
1t passed to be engrossed the bill to pro-
hibit the dissertation Of the flag OF the
United States, but did reconsider the
vote engrossing the amended bill rela-
tive to reinsurance contracts. At l2:l5
the senate adjourned, to accept Senator
Putnam's invitation for an outing in
Lowell.
In the house an order was offered by
Mr.. Stone of Springfield, providing that
the week beginning June shall be con-
sidered the last week of the session. This
makes operative the rule that bills acted
on in the house shall not be held over "a
hours before being sent to the senate
for reconsideration.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for the
determination OF the brown-tail moth
and directing the state board of agricul-
ture to carry on the work caused some
debate. Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Phillips de-
scribed the devastations Of the pest in
Somerville. Mr.. Patton Of Leonainste
did not take the gypsy moth seriously,
He discredited the work OF the present
gypsy moth commission and said that
personally he was opposed to all kinds
of bugs. particularly humbugs. The
brown-tail moth was first cousin ia
the gypsy moth. which has cost the state
81, 100000. The bill was passed with an
amendment that the money be taken
from the moth appropriation.
