washington, July 27.-In his official
report on The engagement with the
Spanish fleet July 9, Commander Vain
wright, of the auxiliary cruiser Glouce-
ster, which engaged and sunk the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyers, says:
"All the officers and nearly all the
men deserve my highest praise durlns
the action. The escape of the Glouee-
sfer was due mainly to the accuracy
and rapidity of the fire. The efficiency
of this fire, as we'll as that of the ship
generally. was largelysdue to the intel
ligent and unremitting efforts of the
executive officer. Lieutenant Harry r
Huse The result is more to his credlt
when it is remembered that large
proportion of the officers and men were

he was on the bridge, and carried out
my orders with great GOODNESS. That
we were able to close in with the de-
81 rovers-and until we cid so they were
not seriously injured-was largely due
to the skill of Passed Assistant Engi-
neer George w. McElroy. The blower
was put on, and the speed increased 10

their lives repeatedly in boarding and

VALUATION ON SHEEP.
County Commissioners Appear Before
the State Board.

County Commissioner Eyer and Coun-
ty Assessor Epson of Beaver county,
appeared before the state board of
equalization yesterday in reference to
the proposed raise in the value of sheep
from $3.50 to 81 per head and of per
cent on real estate. They agreed to ac-
cept the increase on sheep. The report
of the auditor showed a decrease of $780,
900 on real estate. Mr.. Eyer and Mr..
Epson claimed this was an error, and
that instead of the real estate being
S254,920, as reported by the auditor, it
was $S29,57 They will Immediately
have the figurs raised and a correct
report sent in Meanwhile the question
of the proposed raise will be postponed
until the new report reaches the board.
County Commissioners Blackenburn
and Watkins, of Box Elder county.
made a corrected report to the board
as to the total acreage assessed in Box
Elder county. The first report showed
an increase of 1000 acres over last year,
without corresponding increase in
valuation. The correction shows that
there was no increase in acreage, but
merely a mistake in addition.

Pressure of the Sea.

Chicago Chronicle: There are spots in
the ocean where the water is five miles
deep. If it is true that the pressure of
the water on any body in the water is one
pound to the square inch for every two
feet of the depth anything at the bottom
of one of the five mile holes would have
pressure about it of 1920 feet to every
square inch. There is nothing of human
manufacture that would resist such a
pressure. That it exists there is no doubt
1t is known that the pressure
on well corked glass bottle at
the depth of 800 feet is so great that the
water will force its way through the pores
of the glass. 1t is also said that pieces of
wood have been weighted and sunk in
the sea to such depth that the tissues
have become SO condensed that the wood
has lost its buoyancy and would never
float again. 1t could not be even made
to burn when dry.

will most probably pass a supplement
airy act. which will allow our land sys-
tenn to go on. This. it is probable, from
my knowledge of affairs, will be carried
out. Senator 'Mogan said, when he was

Morgan is one of our best friends.
THE news of annexation consum-
mates the efforts and the main policy
of the present government from the
time when it was initiated as 'Drovis-
icnal, through the time when 1t was
recognized by the great states of the
earth to the time when it has been re-
ceived into the bosom of the greatest
republic and one of the most powerful
states that the world has ever known.
The council of state has pardoned more
than 200 prisoners, most of whom were
under sentence for taking part in the
uprising of 1885. The men have had
liberty under parole. The pardon re-
stores their civil rights.
TWO THOUSAND COOLIES.
The board of immigration has agreed
to allow the planters to import 2.lI5
Japanese laborers. Most of the men
will be for new plantations. The plant
ers are in doubt as to the stand Japan
will take nov that Hawaii is a part of
the United States. Some believe her
officials will not allow any further i'm
migration TO this country.
A member of the cabinet was asked
what effect annexation would have on
the Japanese immigration middle, and
what was its present status. The re-
ply was that the whole matter had
been transferred to Washington some
time ago; that it was probable that the
Hawaiian authorities would hear no
more of it.
Mr.. Shimamura, the japanese minis
ter resident, left for Yokohama on the

MORE SPANISH NEVIS.

There is only one thing as magni1-
 cent as Spanish honor and that is
 Spanish ignorance. The other day
 General Weyler assured an interviewer
 that with 50,00O soldiers landed on American shores he could in one weeks time march from Boston to San Fran cisco" General Correa, the Spanish
 minister of war, recently said: "The war will not be confined to Cuba. What is to hinder us from taking our army to the United States some night and investing the capital at Washington next day?"
 Fl Heraldo de Madrid furnishes this accurate information concerning the United States and it's army: All the troops of the Yankees are in the far western part of the country, many thousand miles from the Atlantic
 coast. There are only few thousand
 men all told, and they are i'll paid and i'll fed, and not willing to fight. To utilize this force it will be necessary to bring it to the eastern seaboard. There | is but one railroad by which it can be | transported, and that is an old and
 poorly constructed affair. At one place this railroad passes over Niagara Falls, a cataract 1000 feet high, near I4abra- dor. At last accounts the bridge at | this place was in very dangerous con- dition. It need surprise no one to hear that some agency had made it still more so.
 to us that Buffalo Bill, notorious out law and leader of band of half- l breeds, has risen against the American government, and is burning towns near
 his birthplace in New York" Fl Diario remarks: Tt will no doubt surprise our readers to learn that the Yankee
 President, Magginly, is a naturalized Chinaman, having been born in Can ton." And Fl Pals draws this beautiful pen picture of the United States: The country is not fit to live in. The eli-
 mate is execrable. When it is not sleeting or showing the heat is almost
 unbearable. Avalanches are frequent at all times, and these threaten the | principal cities. As for the people, be- sides the few whites engaged in busi- | ness along the eastern shore, the re- 1 mainder of the country is one vast
 plain, covered with Indians called cow
 boys, and great herds of roaming cat | tie.
 No wonder the Spaniards don't know ] when they are licked
