DECLINE OF THE cOMSTOcK.

Four whistles. the Union, Chollar,
Overman and Alta are the only ones
that blow on the Comstock now, and
the people are rapidly leaving to seek
better places to make a livelihood. The
plan to resume deep level mining by
sinking a shaft to drain the whole lode
is not regarded favorably. Silver is
too low at the present time to warrant
such an enormous undertaking. The
mines are not yet exhausted but the
cost of extracting the ores is too great
to pay a profit.

SPANISH SPY.
Arrested at Washington and Plac-
ed in Confinement.


WASHINGTON, May 7.-An alleged
Spanish spy was arrested in this city
tonight, and is now confined at the
arsenal. The authorities are extreme
ly reticent regarding the details of the
capture and refuse positively to make
public the name of the man. 1t IS
known, however, that he is an Amer
lean, and up to within three weeks
ago he had been an enlisted man on a
vessel of the United States navy.
The arrest was made at a boarding
house by Chief Wilkie of the Secret
Service, assisted by Captain Fage Of
the Eighth Artillery, and guard of c.
Corporal and one man. The arrest was
made very quietly, and attracted no at
tention. 1t was a military procedure,
and the police authorities were not in
formed.
1t is stated that the evidence against
the prisoner is absolutely conclusive
and that complete cipher code and
other discriminating documents were
found upon his person. The prisoner
was Immediately escorted to the ar.
tillery barracks at the United States
Arsenal here, and placed in close con-
fnement under military guard.
Later it was learned that the pris-
oner has been known under the name
of Henry Rawlings He is 33 years of
age and an Englishman by birth. He
last served on the United States steam
ship Chicago.

lasted from 4 o'clock till $50 o'clock.
The Dupont's men say their shells top

erection, and they are sure that many of
of the Spanish soldiers were killed as
they afterwards saw wagons taking
away the dead or wounded The sur
viyors fled to the hills.
This morning the Matanzas fortifica-

shells at the Dupont and Hornet They
were line shots, but the boats had got

the two engagements the boats fired
about 200 shots.

The Manila Esplana Krupp 10-inch

The terms of capitulation are still
unsettled. Commodore Dewey fears
rioting by the rebels If he attempts .

trance to the bay capitulated, and were
dismantled on Wednesday The Amer
leans cut the cable, but the Spaniards

FLYING SQUADRON.
Rather Lively Day With Commo-
dore Schley's Fleet.

OLD POINT COMFORT (Va), May {.
Ion board the flagship Brooklyn, off
Fort Monroe)-The arrival of the An
napolis and the expectation that the
ST. Paul and the New Orleans would be
here during the day, made things rath-
er more lively to-day with the flying
squadron than they have been for some
few days. In fact, things have been
extremely dull here, the men chatting
over their enforced inactivity, although
going through drills regularly What
is most annoying to both officers and
men are the frequent lurid stories sent
out under Newport News headlines of
frequent scares and midnight calls on
the squadron.
The naval reserves at the Capes, who
are keeping night lookout, are also in
feet that they signaled a Spanish fleet
coming and caused a panic on the war
vessels. No such thing occurred. The
foundation for the story was that Ad-
jutant Philip of the local fort received
a dispatch saying that some vessels
without lights had gone out after dark.
He misread it as saying coming in, and
informed Commodore Schley. He was
told that the Scorpion was scouting for
the squadron, and would take care of
any strangers. There was no gun fired.
and no call to quarters.
The various kilograms announcing
that Commodore Dewey's fleet and men
had not materially suffered created
great excitement, but was received with
some doubt, it being deemed hardly
possible that a four hours engagement
and the loss of the entire Spanish fleet
could be accomplished in so easy a man
ner.
The Solstice, the hospital ship, came
out this morning and anchored with
the squadron and the gunboat Alliance
went to sea for practice.
The New Orleans had not arrived up
to noon.
The record-union., 1898-05-08

Commodore Dewey's victory filled him
with gladness. and he declared tha,
the Spanish navy would be, or should
be, the objective point Of the United
States navy, and the destruction Of that
navy the sternest aim Of our navy.
He deprecated the unwillingness OF
Congress in times of peace to make any
appropriations for the navy. He high
ly praised Commodore Dewey, and said
that if the official story Of his doings at
Manila confirms the report of his vic
tory there it will be said that Farra-
CUTS mantle of resolution and bravery
has fallen upon a most worthy and in
trepid successor.
Continuing. he said: 1--WE are told
that he has a quick temper; that he re-
sents interference with his conception
of duty and his prerogatives as COM
manding officer, but what man of af-
fairs who amounts to anything has not
a temper of his own? There is, YOU

old officers who are supposed to know
their business in handling and fighting
ships and fleets without side advice.
But it is said that Captain Mahan has
been ordered home to take a seat on
the Strategy Board. Fancy Dewey,
broad, able and dashing, splendid sea-
man and excellent commander, who has
won one OF the most UNIQUE and COM
plete signal naval battles Of the century,
taking advice on professional lines from
a mere writer of books like Mahan. 1t
is merely absurd.
"Mahan is a forceful and accom-
plished writer, but there is no Farragut
or Dewey sea genius in his make up.
Now, in my Judgment, the naval
strategy of the war is the hunting down
and destruction of the Spanish fleet.
That accomplished, the war should soon
come ia an end
In the course of his remarks, Admiral
Belknap pointed out the probability
that the German Emperor, when he has
a new fleet built, would want to meas
ure swords with the American Repub-
lie, inasmuch as the commercial in
stinct Of the German people made 1t
likely, and said the United States
should be ready to meet him.

tory to the best of judgment, the best

STEAMER LAFAYETTE.

HAVRE France), May THE off,
GERS of the French Transatlantic
Steamship Company say they do not
believe Spanish officers were on board
their steamer Lafayette, captured by
the United States gunboat Annapolis
when the French liner touched at Co
runna, Spain. They say it would have
been easier for the Spaniards to en-
bark on Spanish vessels and they ex-
plain that If such officers were found
on board they deceived the Captain of
the Lafayette in regard to their status.
When the Lafayette sailed from st.
Naxaire, though the war had not yet
been declared, her commander was
warned that if he learned hostilities
had commenced he was to obey all the
customary regulations. The French
company officials do not believe the
Captain of the Lafayette has violated
the neutrality laws.
