 VANCOUVER, June 1.-The City of Ieattle, which arrived tonight, brought letter from Captain lily Woodside, who is camped near Wrangel, which contains a. report of a wonderfully rich quartz find on the northwest coast of British Columbia, south of the rich Ommenica country. The"letter states: An Indian to-day (27th inst.) brought nto our camp wonderful specimen of Iuartz, the richest in gold. ever. seen in his country.

|: NEW YORK, June 1.-The Herald S Washington correspondent telegraphs: :: Rear Admiral Sampson arrived off Santiago de Cuba this afternoon, and, in accordance with his instructions he at once relieved Commodore Schley in command of the entire force of vessels in front of Santiago de Cuba and the Spanish fleet, assigning that officer to the command of a division composed of ships formerly attached to the flying squadron. Fifteen warships are at Simpsons disposal to pit against six men-of-war flying the Spanish flag. They include the first-class battleships Iowa, Oregon and Massachusetts; sec ond-class battleship Texas; armored cruisers New Yo~k and Brooklyn; pro- tected cruisers New Orleans, Marble head and Minneapolis; gunboat Nash vile, torpedoboat destroyer Scorpion, dynamite cruiser Nesuvius, torpedo boat Porter, auxiliary cruisers Harvard and Yale, and auxiliary gunboat Eagle.
 With such force blockading San tiago de Cuba, naval experts who have heretofore contended that Cervera had a fighting chance. to escape, now con 1. cede that his positi ,n is absolutely hopeless. The concentration of such a formidable force at Santiago Is re- garded in some circles as presaging inn portant and immediate action by the American feet.
 Careful inquiry, however, developed the fact that Rear Admiral Sampson before he left Key West was notified of

Up to a late hour tonight the Navy Department had not received any of ficial advices confirming the: press re ports describing the bombardment.: of The Notifications at Santiago. ;.
 Credence is given by the department, however, to the most important feat ures of the newspaper dispatches It is believed that Schley has pounded the batteries of Morro, Socapa and Punta Gorda, largely with a view of develop Ing their strength and the range of their guns. It is also thought likely in official circles that if the Crfstobal Co., ion steamed into the mouth of the har- Dor, as stated in the reports from Span sha sources, Schley's gunners may have made an effort to sink her, and thus the attack may have developed greater importance than the American com nander anticipated at the outset. Secretary Long took occasion to- night to repeat with emphasis his state nent quoted in these dispatches last night to the effect that he believed the report that Commodore Schley had given battle to the Spanish fleet was in correct, though he admitted that 1t was possible. that a single Spanish cruiser had been engaged:
 The increduhty of the Navy Depart nent officials concerning certain feat 7fes.of the press report from Santiago IS very. significant as indicating that Commodore Schley is under positive in structions not to enter the harbor of Santiago, nor to risk. his ships by any lttempt to destroy the. Spanish fleet at close. range. The bombardment of the 3efenses of the harbor appeared to have been hardly more effective than the at lack aon San Juan, Porto .-dco, and serves to emphasize the disadvantage lnder which a: fleet of vessels labors when attacking Notifications located on high elevation: @r. s.s

Fnat Time to Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
st. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
Iished over the Wabash-Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash train
No. 3, at $40 a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at HOO, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at IL. 80
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between st. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. m, and ar
rive at St. Louis the next evening at els.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only un.
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the. Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on APP
