Why the Spanish Were Defeated at

Juan de Austria, destroyed at the battle of
Manila, says that the Spanish commanders
were quite aware that fighting was hope

public opinion at Manila. He and other Of
ficers wished to steam out of the harbor to
meet the Americans, but Admiral Montijo
forbade that move. Captain Concha says
the Spanish fleet was in disgraceful con-

leaking and needed engines 10 keep the

not withdrawn by II o'clock the Spanish

RANDSBURG RfDIvIvUS
MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE
SINCE THE FIRE
The New Mill Of the Little Butte
Mine Is Now in Successful
Operation

RANDsi,URG, May 25.-H. C. Oakley of
Ontario, president of the Little Butte Min
ing and Milling company, spent the early
part of the week at the mine. Tuesday
afternoon the stamps of the new mill drop
ped for the first time. The machinery Is
all in place and working in good shape
but there are a few minor matters to
see to before the stamps will commence
dropping steadily on Little Butte ore. This
mine has large quantity of low grade ore
on the dumps and great deal in sight in
the mine, which can be worked in their mill
at a good profit. The stamps weigh 1000
pounds each and will drop 100 times in
minute. The mill is furnished with triple
batteries. 1t is thought that when in good
running order ore going u per ton
can be milled with small profit. Whether
this be so or not, they will be able to handle
very low grade ore. for the engine already
in use at the mine for hoisting purposes
will furnish the power for the stamps, and
the engineers and assayer already at work
in the mine can do the added work of the
mill. The high grade rock will be sent
away, as it will tax the capacity of the
two stamps to handle the low grade ore
already in sight at present. This is the
first mine in the district to erect mill on
their property, but before many months
pass others will have followed their ex-
ample.
The buildings in the burnt district are
steadily gaining in number. Several
houses have been moved in from other
places, some are being built, and some are
being moved from other parts of the town.
The skating rink is being taken to pieces
and will be rebuilt on Butte avenue near
Broadway. 1t will be enlarged and fitted
up in good shape and will be opened up as
the Carlton theater. The office and resi-
dence formerly occupied by DR.. Seibert has
been moved on to the site of the old Occi-
dental hotel and will be used by Messrs.
carson and James as a jewelry and sta
tionery store respectively. G. V. Fox has
built a neat Office and N. N. Miller has
been excavating for a fire-proof cellar on
the site of his old drug store. Within a
few days he will commence to rebuild on
the old site. M. A. Lee is building an
adobe house back of the new store he ha IS
just built on the old site.

NEW YORK, May 26.-A special to the

Investigation leaves no doubt that a

seen off the coast of Cape Breton. The re-
port of the sighting Of fleet of strange
vessels was sent out from there several
days ago, and it was at first discredited

develop the fact that they were seen and
that they must have been warships How
ever, no information has been obtained as
to their nationality, their exact number or
their purpose. Their presence caused much
excitement. No one knows where they
have gone. For several days the military

TIE GOVERNORS SPECIAL MESSAGE.

Governor Cpndler has sent a special
message to the general assembly brist
hing with interest on the subject of
the states finances, and looking to re-
duction of the rate of taxation.
Briefly, the governor recommends
that the appropriation for pensions be
be cut down so that it will only cover
the pensions of those pensioners who
are in INDECENT circumstances. In his
opinion, those who have an income of
their own, or who are able to earn a
living, can wait uutil the state is bet
ter able, to pay pensions in accordance
20 the very liberal pension policy now
in force.
He is 10th to interfere in any way
with the the public school fund, but he
thinks that the schools can get along
for a couple Of years, at least without
the extra 100000 added to the school
fund this year. He, therefore, recon-
m7nds that sum be left offfor the next
two years. AT the end of that time a
new taxing system or better times
may enable the legislature to restore
the extra amount to the fund. The
governor is also of the opinion that
the public institutions can stand some
reduction in the appropriations usual
Iy given them, because the cost of liy-
ing is considerably less than it was
when these appropriations were fixed
at the at the amounts the institutions
are now receiving
