the use of the port batteries The
firing then became long reverberating
crash of thunder and the shells raked
the Spanish batteries with terrible ef-
feet. Fire broke out in Catalina fort
and silenced the Spanish guns. The
firing of the feet continued until /
o'clock, when the Spanish ceased firing
entirely, and Admiral Sampson hoisted
the "cease firing signal.
Generally the fire of the feet was
very destructive. Many of the earth
works were knocked to pieces and the
Estrel lla and Catalina fortificatious
we're so damaged that it is questiona-
BILE whether they ever will be able to
renew any effective work during the
war.
After the fleet retired the Spaniards
returned to some of the guns and sent
twelve shells after the fleet, but no one
was injured. One large shell fell close
to the collier Justin.
Throughout the entire engagement
no American ship was hurt and no
American was injured. The Spaniards
stuck to their guns, and their loss
must have been heavy.

to the state department by any of the

be hurried in order to insure its pos

HANILLA HE E:Ro DEAD.
Captain arIdiey o, the Olympia Dies Fr m
Injuries Received.

washington, June captain Charles
v. Gridley, COMMANDER of the cruiser
Olympia, and one of the heroes Of the
brilliant victory of Manila is dead.
The announcement OF his death was
received by the navy department in a
cablegram from Pay master Calf, of the
navy, dated at Kobe, Japan, June 4,
and directed to Seer retary Long. The
dispatch contains this simple state
ment: Captain Gfidley died today.
Remains accompany me on Coptic.
Captain Vernon Gtidley is the first
American officer of great prominence
whose death is direct result Of the
existing war with Spain. As the com
mander of Admiral Dewey's splendid
flagship, and one Of the admiral's chief
advisers, Captain ca idley achieved dis
tinction at the battle of Manila bay
and added to his previous laurels by
winning high praise from his superiors
In the service for distinguished gal
lantry and ability. He fought his ship
from the coming to wer, while Admiral
Dewey directed the movements OF his
squadron from the bridge of the vessel.
1t was not known for several weeks
after the engageuE Eent that Captain
Gridley had suffered from it, and even
now the precise nat nre of his trouble is
not disclosed.
Upon the arrival of the Zafiro at
Hongkong ON the 20 tn of May, the navy
department was notified that Captain
Gridley had been condemned by a
/ board of medical sur Hey and '.invalided'
home. Subsequent advices received
by the department indicated that
Captain Gridley was suffering from ths

TROOPS FoR CUBA.
The Bombardment of Santiago Opens the
Way for Them.

Way for Them.
Washington, June s.--The lombard
ment at Santiago will hasten the de-
parture of troops for Cuba. A suspic-
ion is entertained in some quarters
that Sampson was FASTENED in his
movements at Santiago by the news
of the intended departure of the troops
from Tampa. and made this attack in
order that the navy might have the
honor of effecting the occupation of
Cuban soil.
1t is likely that the first troops of the
regular army to take up a position
ashore win be the engineer battalion,
although they are so badly hampered
by the heavy siege trains they carry
that they must be greatly delayed in
making a landing. These guns, by the
way, have given infinite trouble, for the
transports that were hastily chartered
were so lightly constructed as to re-
quire great deal of strengthening be-
fore the great masses of steel could be
safely placed on them.
1t is now confidently expected that
the troops will be hastened to Cuba
and that actual warfare will begin on
/ the island at once.

Wa shington Authorities Believe She il
Preparing to Invite Terms.
Washington, Ju he THE belief Is
growing in the be st informed govern
ment circles. tina Spain is sincerely
anxious to make aaee, and that even
now she is seeking a favorable opper
tunity TO make evertures in that III
reetion. Numere us evidences Of this
have come to the attention of the au-
thorities here but up To this time NJ
actual move has been made toward as
certaining on W nat besis the United
States would con slider peace.
1t is said that he first step would be
toward having some disinterested
power make inc quiry of this Cove. n
ment as to what terms would be ac
cepted, after VIII 1ch, the terms being
stated, it would be for Spain to form
a commission and make a formal ten
der of peace.
The authorities here feel that Spai
i is feeling her way towards move
ment of this kind. One evidence of i
is the utterance bf the Spanish ambas
sador at London urging that peac
movement is opportune at this time
1t is thought to be highly improbabl
that a Spanish official of his ran
would make a statement of this kim
unless it voiced the view entertaineI
/ by the authoritits is at Madrid. Anothe
evidence is the sending of Senor Cas-
/ tillo to Paris, his principal mission be
! ing to enlist sy mpathy there.

While the war now in progress be-
tween this country and Spain may have
the effect of checking the flow of east
ern capital westward for investment in
mining properties and mining securi-
ties, the fact still remains that this will
be one of the most active seasons IN
the mining line that the west has ever
witnessed, and already nearly every
Utah camp is feeling the influence of
the magical results of earnest and in
teIiigent labor and the carrying out of
enterprises planned and inaugurated
during the winter when deep snow pre-
vented successful operations in many
of the leading districts of the state.
To offset the restriction placed on the
eastern money market, however, the
effect of the war so far has been TO
enhance the value of lead and copper,
and to cause an appreciation in silver
quotations, and so steady and regular
have been these advances of late that
the mining business has been materially
stimulated, and as a result the leading
producers of the state have been an
creasing their output, abandoned mines
have been reSurrected and almost every
prospect of promise has received atten-
ton at the hands of owners and lessees;
while, as to gold propositions, there
never was a time in the history of min
ing in Utah when there was such dill
gent search being made for the yellow
metal, and never before has success in
this direction been so marked as is the
case today.
In the early days in mining in this
state silver and lead were about the
only metals sought for. Now, how
ever, the situation is different, as the
production of gold and copper now
commands almost equal attention with
that of the white metal and lead, and,
strange as it may seem, splendid de-
positS of gold and copper have been
found of late in old mining camps,
while during the past five or six years,
this section can boast of the discov-
cry of d number of gold camps, in
Guiding Mercur, Gold Mountain, State
line, Newton, the La. Sales, Blue Noun
tain and Park Valley, and during this
period a number of important copper
finds have been recorded, so that it
would seem as if Utah, as producer
of mineral wealth, would soon be near
the head of the list in the galaxy of
bonanza states in this inter-mountain
region, and the indications are that in
due time the magnificent naturalization
of the state, practically untouched so
far, will receive the widespread atten-
ton it so justly deserves.
In nearly every mining camp in Utah
q spirit of progress is noticeable. The |
opening of new mines, the development
Of prospects, the erection of numerous
hoisting works and mills and the con-
summation of gigantic enterprises is
the order Of the day, and it is believed
that before the dawning of a new year
it can be said that this has been the |
most prosperous season in mining cir
cleS that the country has ever enjoyed. /

THE MINING CONGRESS.
SPECIAL RATE OFFERED BY
TRUNK LINE ASSOCIATION.
1t Is an Important Concession-The
List of Delegates-More Sections
to Be Represented.

The Trunk Line association has Of
fered to make special rate of fare
and a third for the round trip to the
mining congress here. The only con-
dition is the agreement of the Western
Passenger association to honor the
trunk line certificates, and since the
Western has already done this with the
Southeastern association it is taken
for granted there will be no question
about similar action in this case. The
Importance of this concession lies in the
fact that the trunk roads are the Penn
sylvania, Baltimore & Clio, Grand
Trunk, Chesapeake & Ohio, Lehigh
Valley, Central of New Jersey, New
York Central and other great systems
in the mining regions from which a
large portion of the eastern delegates
to the congress will come.
As the time for the congress draws
near the mail at headquarters bears
evidence of increasing interest in the
affair. Notices of delegate appoint
ments were received yesterday as fol-
lows: c. S. Nield, B. F. Gray, ]. D.
Black, John G. Matthews and J. ].

Der of prominent mining people there

sentation from there. ]. V. Pierce of

ing town. writes for information as to
