further informed that the court was re-
quested by the department to come
back to Key West at this time in order
that the survivors at that place might
at once be examined, so that they could
be assigned to other vessels, where they
are needed
1t is declared by the department Off
Gals that 1t is not known whether it
will be necessary for the court to re-
turn to Havana. In any event it's re-
port is not expected in Washington be-
fore the latter part of the week and it
may be delayed still longer. If the court
does not return to Havana it may be
accepted as a foregone conclusion that
the members of the court are already
convinced that the Maine was blown up
by an explosion from the outside. Their
return on the other hand would indi-
cate they have not yet reached a final
conclusion and wish to avail themselves
of further evidence from divers and
wreckers. The impression among naval
authorities with whom 1 talked is that
the court A,ill return to Havana in
order thai - cry scrap of evidence may
be obtained before they finally put their
conclusions to the Navy Department.
While as anxious as anybody to have
the facts at hand at the earliest pos
sible moment, the President on account
Of the gravity of the question wants
the investigation made just as thor
ough as the circumstances will allow.
All of the officials insist that up to this
time they do not know what the final
conclusion of the board will be. It is
true that they have had the opinion
officially expressed by Consul General
Lee that everything pointed to an out
side explosion.
The Herald's dispatches and private
letters from officers who were on board
the vessel at the time of the disaster all
indicate that the vessel was blown up
by some exterior agency. The Presi-
dent has declared. however, to even his
most intimate friends that he would re-
serve his judgment as to what actually
caused the disaster until he had the
official facts to go upon. Secretary
Long insists that no dispatches from
either Captain Sigsbee or the Court of
Inquiry, which have related In any way
to the cause of the disaster. have been
| concealed from the public. But not
withstanding the absence Of official in
formation on the subject 1t may be
stated that none of the authorities an
ticipate the report showing that the
fundamental cause Of the catastrophe
was accidental
The Herald's Key West dispatch pub
lished this morning showing that the
armor belt was blown inward; that six
inch powder cases were crushed longi-
tudinally, and adducing the additional
evidences that the keel was forced in
ward, has tended to greatly strengthen
the conviction in official circles that the
explosion came from outside of the yes
sci. Every step taken in the direction
of emergency preparations and In con-
sideration of presidents for formulat-
ing demand upon Spain indicates that
Spain is to be held responsible for the
blowing up of the vessel.

Delegate Smiths Report.
(Gagette.l


 Delegate Mark Smith has positive views on the Indian question, and does not heitate to express them. A few days ago he made vigorous speech in congress In opposition to the continuance of the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa.. arguing that such schools should be maintained In locations close to the homes of the Indians.
 After he bad concluded his speech a "down-east" gentleman who views the Indian question from the standpoint of J. Fenimore Cooper novels, interroga- ted the delegate as to his personal views on the subject.
 "You don't mea nto say," asked the eastern man, "that if I were riding along in the Apache county. and would not annoy or interfere with the In dians, that they would shoot me down?" "Oh, mol" replied MT. Smith, looking the questioner over critically, "An h. dian has superstitious horror of kill ing an idiotor an insane person."
 It will not be out of place to state in this connection that on Wednesday the house voted to continue the Indian school at Carlisle.

Five Hundred Short.

Rosalio Candelaria, of Concho, on last Saturday made one of his period icaI visits to his sheep herd, now rang ing about twenty-five miles north of this place, in what is known as Hard scrabble draw. As is his usual custom he had the herds punched, and then proceeded to count them. He was rather surprised to al cover that the total result was about five hundred sheep less than it ought to be. What makes the loss more surprising is the fact that the present season has been very favorable for stock, and what was left of the herd were in prime condition. Upon questioning the herder as to what had become of the sheep, Don Rosalio received the usual satisfactory answer, "Quie1 sabe."

On Fire Again.

A dispatch from Williams, Ariz, dated the 18th inst. says: Shortly after Il o'clock last night, the tunnel at John- sons canyon was ready once more for the passage of trains. when the timbers again caught fire from the heated lime- stone and spread with such rapidity that in an incredably short space of time the whole tunnel was, raging mass of flames, mounting high in the air at both ends of the tunnel, and with such intense neat that the work man could not approach. Work cannot be again resumed until the flames have spent themselves, which may take sev- ersl days. Fortunately there were no workmen in the tunnel at the time and no fatalities are reported as in the for mer burning.

JOE BARGMAN
Has a Fight With Outlaws on
 Canyon Creek.

The following article from the Hol- brook Argus gives the details of the recent occurrence on Canyon creek. All the participants are well known here. and it IS q surprise to no one that Err nest Gentry and Art Farrel should be concerned in a play of this kind. For the past four or five years, both of these gentlemen have either been in jail, hid ing out, or under bonds. the greater part of the time. They run up against & hard game when they resist arrest from such an officer as Joe B&rgman. The only thing we blame Joe for is mis- sing Farrell:
 Under sheriff Joe Bargman returned last Sat urday evening from his trip to Pleasant Valley and Tonto Basin He had warrants for Ernest Gentry and Art Farrell, who are wanted by the authorities They are hiding among the Indi- ans on the reservation, Gentry being quite inti mate with them He lives with them a large portion of the time, having a squaw and pap poose. Joe was unable to locate them, but finally w. w. Walker came in for provisions, and upon his return Bargman trailed him to their camp, which was located on canyon creeK, near tne ranch of John Dazen, the Apache chief. Barg man struck the camp on the 16th inst, at 10 o'clock a. m, but on account of the nature of the ground he could not get close to them There were five men in the camp-Gsntry, Far rell, Walker and two others, besides several In dians From an open bluff near the cathp' Barg man single-handed, c He'd upon them to sur render, but was answered by a shot from Gentry which was the signal for general fusilade- 1he men in the camp rushed for their horses Barg- man sent bullet after Farrell, but missed him. Another followed young Walker, striking him | him in the side and sent him headlong from his horse. Another leaden messenger struck Gen ' try in the abdomen as he was mounting his horse, and the Indians report him badly wound ep. To chase them was impossible, as a large band of Indians was close by, and it would have been suicide for Bargman to have followed. He, however captured Walker the next day, who was taken to Globe and held to answer a charge of horse stealing, as he was riding horse be- longing to Frank Ketcherside.
 Joe Bargman is one of the nerviest officers in Arizona. and his recent exploit more than justi 1es this reputation.
