MILES STILL COMMANDER.

"This dispatch recognized Miles as
the commander and gave him author
ity to act. Shafter was entirely ig-
nored. In the face of this situation,
Secretary Alger, through General Cor
bin, sent dispatch to General Shafter,
assuring him that General Miles did
not come to Cuba to superSede Shafter
in any way. This dispatch General
Miles refers to as secret, for, he says,
/ he did not know it had been sent, not
having been notified from Washington,
and General Shafter saying nothing TO
him about it. After the surrender,
General Miles still retained control. He
authorized Shafter to appoint peace
commissioners, and, judging from
Skaters report, that all was over. he
instructed him as to the disposition
of the troops.

=" MILES,
"-sMaior General Commanding.

General Miles sailed for Cuba. On
July II, at noon, he reported his safe
arrival to the war department, and at
once assumed charge, reporting to the
secretary of war. All of the subse-
quent business of the surrender was
entirely in his hands, as shown by the
fact that the war department COM
municated with him direct, not even
mentioning General Skaters name in
the numerous dispatches. The follow
ing dispatch is an excellent example:
" Washington, D. c., July Is, 1898.
Major General Miles.-You may ac-
cept surrender by granting parole to
officers and men, the officers retaining
their side arms. The officers and men,
after parole, will be permitted to re-
turn to Spain, the United States assist
ing. If not accepted, then assault, I'M

fail. Consult with Sampson and pur-
sue such course as to the assault as
you two Jointly agree upon. Matters

HELD FOR nuRDER.
The Probable Solution OF Another
Arizona Murder Mystery.

Yesterday Angel Otero and wife were
held to appear before the grand jury
without bail by Justice Duncan on the
charge of murder. The prisoners are
accused of numbering Gregrio Cazares
whose body was found ten miles east OF
Ryan Bros. ranch. an account OF which
appeared in the Prospector. The sherin
and coronors jury were satisfied muir
der had been committed when the body
was examined. The matter was taken
In hand by the sheriff who thoroughly
investigated the mysterious case. 1t was
ascertained that the deceased and the
two prisoners left San Bernardino ranch
together; later they were at Mud Springs
and when the prisoners were arrested 1t
was found that they had a horse, burro
blankets and letters of deceased in their
possession The chain of circumstantial
evidence wound about the prisoners
makes matters look suspicious.
The Mexican and wife deny the charge
Of numbering their comnanion and in ex-
PLANTATION of the possession of the dead
mans animals and effects state that
they left Mud Springs ahead of the de-
ceased, taking the animals and pack,
with the understanding that deceased
was to catch up with them on the raod,
but the fact that the two continued on,
never waiting or inquiring for him. and
also taking a round about way when
passing through Tombstone enroute to
the river where they were followed and
arrested puts dubious aspect on their
story.
The prisoners are in Jail and will re-

seventy-two inches diameter are now be-

plant of it's own, where not only the
lenses are ground and polished, but the
special glass required is prepared In a
large sweating furnace heated with
crude oil vaporized by heated compressed
air.
The prepared glass is placed in fire-clay
molds of the shape of the rough lens and
the heat is gradually increased until the
glass sweats"d down between the halves
of the mold and the surplus oozes out
from the sides. The mold is then placed
in an oven and buried in redhot sand and
the temperature is gradually reduced

ROOSEVELT AGAINST QUIGG.

SCARE ENDED IN A BLOCKADE.
Cried for Protection From Spaniards
and Soon Got Too Much

Bangor, Ne, June 3.-Mistaken zeal to
protect the city of Bangor from the
Spanish has placed the Board of Trade
in rather ridiculous position, and
caused it and all the shipping people on
the Penobscot River untold bother this
week. A month or more ago timid peo-
pie, who had no knowledge of the facts
and conditions, got it into their heads
that Spanish fleet might come sailing
up to Bangor any day and blow the CITY
out of sight, and these people petitioned
the Board of Trade to bestir itself and
get some monitors or something to guard
the river. There were no monitors to
spare, but the Board of Trade got the
next best-they succeeded in inducing the
War Department to fill the narrows at
Bucksport, eighteen miles below Bangor,
with mines
When the engineers got the mines all
laid they issued set of regulations gov
erning the passage of the river and the
regulations were such that, on account
OF the strong tides and currents in the
river. they constituted a practical block
ade OF this port. Immediately went up
howl OF Indignation from the shipping
people. They could not sell any lumber
or ice If the vessels could not pass as
usual. All vessels Of good size have to
be towed, and under the regulations
promulgated by the government the tugs
could not move the vessels up or down
except when wind and tide were both
strongly in their favor, which happened
about once in twenty times. No steamer
was allowed to turn screw or paddle
within the limits of the mine field, and
that settled the towboats as well as the
coaSting steamers.
The upshot of the whole thing was that
the Board of Trade, finding that it had
succeeded in paralyzing Bangor's water
commerce, and that it was being roundly
abused therefor, hastily called a special
meeting and sent kilograms to Senator
Hale and Congressman Boutelle, asking
that something be done at once to re-
lieve the situation. Finally, after much
telegraphing and writing, it was prom
ised by the War Department that chan
mel 200 feet wide should be opened
through the mine field for steamers, and
the storm subsidized, while the shipping
people recommended that the Board OF
Trade disband or confine itself to such
harmless functions as its annual dinner
The mines have not yet been removed,
but soon will be, and meanwhile big
fleet of vessels is waiting for chance to
get to sea.
Much the same condition exists on the
Kennebec and masters OF vessels are re-
fusing charters to load ice on that river
The trouble is caused, it is said. by an
ARRANGEMENT of the mines according TO
plan made in 1872.

A MYSTERIOUS CHARGE

The man from Harlem was coming
down town on his laborious duties one
morning recently with penetrating and
ineffaceable smile on his face that SEEM
ed to irradiate the whole car. People
noticed him who didn't know who he was
and they wondered how good breakfast
he had had.
At the boundary or in that neighbor-
hood, a man got aboard the car who
knew the radiant being, and he sat down
beside him before he noticed anything on
his person to provoke comment. But it
wasn't long before he did.
by George, old fellow he said, in
full sympathy with theentire carload,
..you look as if your ship had come in, or
YOU had escaped the draft, or something.
What is it?'
ssYou know what an eminently practi-
cal woman my wife is?' he responded
with chuckle.
The last arrival smiled affirmatively,
as II he knew what a joke in the family
that sentiment was.
"Wen," continued the husband, you
know 1 turned over a new leaf last
month, and gave her an allowance, and
she was to keep an account Of all she
spent. This morning the time was up
for the first month, and I went over a
book, and the first page as far as I re-
call was about like this: Shoes, ribbon,
silk, candy for Willie, G. o. k, papers,
stationery, G. o. k, parlor ornament. for
the poor, G. o. k. and so on"
What's the G. o. k.?'' inquired the
friend.
That's what 1 said," replied the hus-
band, land that's what makes me laugh
every time I think about it. She said
that stood for Goodness only knows,
and what do you think of woman who
will keep accounts like that?" and the
mans face broke into wreathes and
trellises and draperies of merriment as
though he loved that wife better than all
the money in the worid.-New York Sun.

DIAMONDS IN AMERICA.
New York Jeweler Estimates the Gems
at Over $500, 200, 900.

In no country are there more dia-
monds to be found than in the United
States, according to the population. 1t
is estimated by leading Maiden lane,
New York, diamond dealer that there
diamonds in this country. Moreover,
this vast amount is increasing year by
year.
Until quite recently diamonds were
| rarely cut in this country, but Ameri-
can inventors have developed a pro-
cess for diamond cutting which is
vastly superior to that done abroad
The loss in weight through cutting
is sometimes fully one-half, but the
value is increased probably more than
| twofold.
The Dutch city of Amsterdam has
been the great diamond cutting CEN
ter of the world from time immemor-
ial, and up to a few years ago over
10000 people in that place were, di-
rectly or indirectly, dependent upon
this trade.
But it was not reasonable to sup
pose that Amsterdam should continue
to hold a monopoly of diamond cut
ting. As one of the greatest import
ing cities of the world, New York
gradually offerd inducements to dia-
mond cutters, and the industry has
been gradually built up here that is
now fourishing and profitable. In
1858 Henry D. Morse of Boston, Mass,
invented a machine for cutting and
polishing diamonds, and since then
| Improvements have been made upon
it that are very important. The for

cry is largely used.
A famous gem expert places the
| total value of all the diamonds in the
world at over $1,000, GOO 900, of which
$3.50, 000, 900 worth are in the hands Of
dealers, carried in stock. ALI of the
other diamonds are in the hands of pri-
vate individuals, and the question nat
urally arises, who owns them? This
is not so easily answered, except in the
case of large and world-famous gems
| In order to make artificial diamonds
| it was first necessary to analyze genu-
inc ones, and even to dissolve them
The largest manufactured diamond on
| record is les than one-twentieth of an
| inch in diameter, while the majority
are only half this size. The chemist
did not hold his discovery secret-he
divulged it to the Royal society, and
members proceeded to initiate him in
his fascinating work. They took pure
iron and placed it in carbon cru
chile with pure charcoal from sugar

arc quickly melted the iron and mixed
it with the carbonate. An intense
