SIMPSONS SUCCESS.

So much has been written about th. bombardment of San Juan by the fleet under command of Rear Admiral Samp son, with varying accounts of how little was accomplished. that it is refreshing to read the report of the English consul general at the scene of the engagement. He says:
 "The Americans steamed into the harbor in single l.ne formation. The flagship, of course, was first, then came their heaviest aimorclad (.he Iowa), followed by lauother of the same class, the two monitors and the lighter ships tDet'oit, Montgomery and Ma,blehead), |, with double turreted monitor closing up the rear of tle column. At the first shot from big gun on the advanced armorclad Uowa) the entire brick ami stone front of the Moro was simply wrecked.
 ''l WAS watching the works with glass, about 200 Wards from the fort. l wanted to observe the effect of heavy cali CT in the high owered gunnery upon brick and stonj masonry. Well, 1; saw the shot stfike before heard the roar of the l3.inch gun that fired it, anl l give you my word, twenty-five feet of the trick and stone front lifted into the air and fell back, just a mass of bl oken brick and stone. The gunnery of the Americans was superb in It's deadly accuracy. The range was from 2,70O yards to 1000 as the vessels closed n. Though the soldiers ran away, there were admirable bledtsylays of courage.
 "Gov. Machias (governor. of the island) never left his residence, which is not ovrr d quarter of mile from the works that were demolished, and his handsome daughter, Pauline, stood calmly by her fathers side through it alL Of resistance there was none. It vas not possible, for the fo''ss h | ,th. ing capable oi returning su:!i a fire as they were under. It was an awful sight, yet magniti ;ent, to see tn. resist. less power of the modern bltileship. It was all wrong, upp ,se, but co ,l rot help thinking in my he e.rt ,"ths, are our kin, the soas of the strol. mln. child England besot h'yond the sai4.'
 "The American admiral conducted everything in the slriclcst accord with tEe usages of mo lem wir. He gave full notice that he would shell the works, and confined his fire stri:tly to tha armed de;enses. The city p'stoM ;e, being part of the government buildings, was ,le nolisheI.

THE ston Journal, in speaking of Arizona says: "Arizona stands today. viewed from business and commercial standpoint, very much where Colorado did two.score years ago Its present conditions and its future outlook are lnuch the same as were those of Colo rato in the 70's, The time has come when ridicule and criticismis ceasing to have it's effect. These comparatively trivial things cannot possibly weigh much longer against the pfpgress of a territory of this character. The people outside are already beginning to realize what is here and what can hellt ne here, and, always ready to grasp spportuni- ties, they are bound to come ere and improve the same. It is land of great promise, of enormous resources and of delightful climatic conditions. This combination of factors, properly used and dbectel, can only result, as it has done so many times in other sections, in a magnificent and widespread devel- opment and prosperity"

RuMoRs from the Philippine islands present anything but satisfactory con ditior of affairs. The rebels, who have Teen carving on war against tho sianiards for nearly two years, are not able to restrain themselves when the chance is offered for them to wreak vengeance on their enemies. The result is that riots, murders and i,cepdiarism are rife at Manila, which Admiral Dewey is wholly unable, with the force at his disposal, to check.

To the reader ofordinary intelligence who stops to think of the past and present action of the Cuban Insurgents, the conclusonis forced upon him that the Cubans are people of very narrow gauge and of small appreciation. A few months ago thay wers imporin. ths government of the United States for as sistance, let it be in any form whatso- ever. They were starving; tho non combatants were being crowded into pens like SO many sheep; disease bal attacked them and the work of exterm- nation was going forward with great rapidity; their fighting numbers were being daily depleted from the ravlses of war and disea e,,nl thror.h all they kept up bold front anl throu.li their protestations led the outer world to be. lieve that they werea little blna ot un- tullicd patriots who would die in the lsst ditch, and who were bound to win at last. Yet to look over the situation calmly and without prejudice it is plain to Ge seen that for them to win, unas- sisted, was an utter impossibil,tv. The pressure upon our government was 70 strong that we took up their fight, and the result is foregone conclusion. But flonl the day of the declaration of war l,y this government against Spaic--the lower which was and had been oppress- ing the Cubans--a coolness came over the spirit of their dreams and they looked with suspicion on our actions and motives, and today, with a few honorable exceptions, the Cubans, if reports are to br credited, would turn and smite the people that would save them.

Few people have any conception of the ore bodies or the unlimited amour of mineral that lies in this basin. The Copper Queen Company has been operating here for eighteen years and are down only 500 feet, simply because they found sufficient ore be tween there and the surface, to keep them Tn constant operation. It is said by parties who have the oppor tunity 10 know, that they now have sufficient ore ia sight to maintain their present output for l5 years withou. having to sink another foot; and what is true of their property must be true of this Company's property when developed.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The Ad-
ministration today decided to send
fleet against Spain and into the Medi
terranean. The three vessels selected
as colliers have already started for
Newport News to take on a large sup
ply of coal.
The determination to send this
squadron against Spain was the out
come of direct official advices reach
ing the State and Navy Departments
squadron. These advices gave a list
of the Spanish ships now nearing the
Suez canal which differs somewhat
from the list given in the press dis
patches and by LIoyd's The official
list is as follows: Pelayo, Carlos V,
Audaz, Osada, Prosperpina, Patricia,
Rapido, Buenos Ayres, IsIa de Paney,
Colon, Covandonga and San Francisco.
The additional information comes
from official sources that this squad
ron is at Port Said and expects to take
on board 10000 tons Of coal before en-
tering the Suez canal 1t discloses that
the Admiral expects to make a long
sail and is doubtless headed for the
Philippines, a point which the officials
here doubted at first.

Navy Department as the Eastern

Captain Sigsbee reports that on
Wednesday afternoon, while off San
Juan de Porto Rico, he was attacked

Terror. The Terror made a dash,
which was awaited by the st. Paul.
The st. Paul hit the Terror three
times, killing one officer and two men
and wounding several others. The
Terror dropped back under cover of
the Notifications with difficulty, and
was towed into the barbor in a sink
ing condition, where she is now being
repaired. Later a cruiser and a gun
boat started out, but remained under
protection of the forts"
The torpedo gunboat was an untried
quantity in naval warfare up to this
time. SWifter than torpedo boats,
seaworthy and possessed If the arm
ament of which the torpedo boat is
void, the torpedo gunboat has been a
terror in imagination to all naval men.
Now Captain Sigsbee has shown that

with only 5-incn guns, tne torpedo gun
boats are not to be feared, at least not
in daylight.
