Das,ardly Crime.

Dean-an-i, an Indian, committed rape upon the l2-year old daughter of Mormon rachman by the name of Howard about ten days ago, and the red devil has thus far eluded the 0tfi- cers who have been on his track.
 The little girl victim was on her way horseback from Moen-Ava to Tuba City and was overtaken by Dean-an-i who attempted to lassoo her, but failing in this he lassooed her horse. After ac- complaining his purpose he run of the horse of his child victim then galioped away over the hills.
 The little girl walked to Tuba City where she informed the citizens of the criminal act which had been perpetra- ted upon her, and the men of the set clement started immediately in pur- suit of the Indian. The officers of the law at Flagstaff were notified as soon as possible, but the fugitive aborigine, bssibly being aware of the punishment usually meted out by the white man to villains of his class, has sought very safe hiding place, and it is moi probable he will ever be captured.

 New York, July ?. Auxiliary cruis- CT Saint Paul arrived this morning from Santiago. As guest of Capt. Sigs- bee was Lieutenant Nant Hobson. who had the honor of carrying Sampson's report on Santiago naval battle to the president. Crowds of people followed and cheered the hero from where he landed to the station where he took the train for Washington. Hobson refused to be interviewed but said the Spanish warships with the exception of the Oquendo he thought would be saved.
 Washington, July 2. Lieut.. Hobson arrived at the Navy department this evening. where he was given an en- ihusiastic reception. As he entered the office of Secretary Long it was fonnd necessary to lock the doors to keep the crowd back Samson report will probably be made public to-mor- TOW.

Quiet In Comparison to the Sunday
of Last Week.

Washington, March 13.-Today unlike
last Sunday when the published state
ments of the desire for the recall of Gen
eral Lee and the protest of the Spanish
government against sending war vessels
with relief supplies to Cuba caused much
excitement among official circles. was
comparatively quiet. There had been no
information bearing on the doings of the
court of inquiry on the Maine explosion
received during the day or any other dis
patches calculated to cause conferences
between the heads of the various deDart-
ments. There we're a number of experts
of the war department ordnance office at
their desks for short time during the
morning to attend to some pressing mat
tiers. while at the navy department the
board on auxiliar-r cruisers held a final
meeting preparatory to the departure of
the special board TO New York
Secretary Long was at the navy DEPART
ment for a short time. He stated late in
the afternoon that there was no news of
any nature for the press. and added. in
response to a specific inquiry. that moth
ing had been received from the court of
inquiry.
Secretary Long tonight made the state
ment that the matter of the purchase of
the. two Brazilian ships had not been set
tied.

ALL ABOUT ToRPEDoEs.
But There Is No Such Thing As a
Newport" Torpedo.

Newport, r. L, March 1S.-Lieuten-
ant Commander Mclean was inter
viewed at the torpedo station in regard
to the report that the Maine was
blown up by a Newport torpedo. The
commander is authority for the state
ment that there is no such thing as a
Newport torpedo.
The station here is largely for ex-
perimental purposes in the way of try
ing and testing torpedoes, and it has
at various times experimental with
the Whitehead, Howell and Cunning
ham torpedoeS. The Whitehead tor
pedo,. which is the projectile in general
use in the United States navy (al-
though the Howell is used to some eX-
tent), is an automobile device. In the
center of the projectile, which is made
in sizes of 16 and IS feet in length, is
cylinder for the reception of COM
pressed air, which feeds the mechan-
ism in the tail of the torpedo. In front
of the cylinder for compressed air is
placed the war-head, which usually
contains in the neighborhood of 300
pounds of gun cotton. When the tor
pedo is prepared for action it is placed
in a firing tube. The firing tube, being
discharged, throws the projectile a dis
tance of 10 or 20 feet, and the COM
pressed air in the tank is released and
SdAfpl4Co ll4G POHEI 1OI lllC
mechanism in the tail. Enough COM
pressed air is stored to carry the tor
pedo 1,600 or 1880 yards.
The distance which the torpedo is in
tended to travel may be gagged by
the adjustment of the mechanism in
the tail of the projectile, and when the
projectile strikes an object, the gun
cotton is exploded by defamation by
means of charge of illuminate of
mercury in the form of a cap. The
force of discharge of 220 pounds of gun
cotton is sufficient, if properly placed,
to sink warship, as was demonstrated
in the Brazilian Instruction, when a
single torpedo destroyed four COM
partmentS on the battleship Aquida-
ban, sinking that vessel, although she
was able, under her own steam, TO get
from her mornings to the dock, a few
hundred yards away.
The Howell torpedo differs from the
Whitehead only in the mechanism,
while the Cunningham torpedo is pow
erful and destructive, but unreliable.

M'KINLEY'S MINISTER.
Parson johnson Says We Can Whip
All the Latin Nations.

Washington, March 13.-President
Mckinley occupied his pew at the
Metropolitan church this morning and
listened to q sermon by DR.. Hugh
Johnson, his pastor, which dealt at
some length and quite directly with the
problem which most thoroughly en-
crosses the presidents mind. He took
the Spanish question for the text, and
during his discourse said:
''One thing is certain. We shall not
have war unless there is absolute JUS
tihcation for it. The dignity and honor
of the nation shall be upheld, and
American loyalty and bravery remain
untarnished as ever; but the calm and
firm attitude of the chief executive,
assures US that neither by preju-
dice, passion, popular clamor, hys-
terra nor ambition, viii this ma
ton be involved in deadly strife
Secure from invasion, with inexhausti-
bic wealth and resources, with a people
full of martial spirit and able to put
ten millions OF soldiers into the field
and cover the seas with battleships.
what have we to fear from a bankrupt
nation that cannot even subdue 90 900
or 10000 ragged, ill-fed and poorly
equipped Cuban insurgents? Or from
an alliance of France and all the Latin
nations against us2 Come the three
corners Of the world in arms, and we
shall shock them
"But this power is controlled by in
telligence, patriotism and Christian
principle, and only stern duty to its
humanity and civilization, just rela-
tions with our fellow men. and national
honor will lead US to let loose the dogs
of war. Desiring and praying for
peace, let us hope that the extent and
yigor Of these war preparations viii
avert the conflict and assist the cause
of peace"

FOREIGN PRESS OPINION.
American Events Treated By London
NeWSDapers.

London, March 1.-THE Daily Tele-
graph editorially suggests this morn
ing there is time still remaining that
can be utilized to negotiate an agree
ment to refer the Maine matter to arbi-
tration, to ascertain the true facts, -
and to decide as TO the nature of the
indemnity, if any be due to the United
States. England" says the Daily
Graphic, would sympathize with a war
for the liberation of Cuba, but if the
United States goes to war il must be
in just cause and after every effort to
secure an honorable peace has been ex-
hausted.'
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Mail declares French support of Spain
would not exceed platonic sympathy"
and that there is no likelihood that the
friendship of Austria or Germany
would extend farther
The Times, commenting upon the cor
diality of the interview between Presi-
dent Mckinley and Senior Polo Ber-
nabe, the new Spanish minister TO
Washington, and commencing the
presidents policy, says:
mfr. Mckinley cannot more surely
tranquilize American opinion and Sc
cure fair field for his pacific endeavor
than by convincing the American peo-
pie that he is prepared for all contin-
gencies."
