Consideration of Proposed Revision Of Mining Laws
Abruptly Closed.
A RESOLUTION BY ALLEN OF UTAH

The Adjustment of Extra Lateral Rights Recommended
Milwaukee Chosen For the Next Meeting.

Consideration OF the report of the
committee on revision of the mining
laws, the most important question be-
fore this session, came to an abrupt
termination at yesterdays meeting of
the Mining congress, by the adoption
Of a resolution submitted by ex-COn-
gresham Allen, recommending that
the present laws be SO amended as to
abolish extra lateral rights in mining
claims.
The action was not altogether a sur
prise. though many who voted in favor
of the resolution labOred under mis-
apprehension as to its real purport.
The relative strength of the opposing
factions developed when a motion was
made to reconsider. resulting in a tie

MILES SAILS FOR CUBA.
Commander Left Charleston Last
Night. On the Yale.

Charleston, S. c., July S.-The cruis-
ers Yale and Columbia, with the Sixth
Massachusetts and one battalion of the
Sixth Illinois aboard, lie off the light
ship at the entrance of the harbOr to-
night and probably will sail before
daybreak for Cuba.
The embarkation of the troops began
at midday. They were marched to the
wharf, where the steamers Commodore
Perry and Planter were in waiting.
The men went on aboard and amid
the cheers of the spectators and the
men of the other regiments, steamed
down the harbor in the face of a heavy
rainStorm. The work of tranS-Shipping
the soldiers was accomplished without
mishap. By some mistake, one com

left on the wharves when the steamers
started. Adjutant Butler Ames
promptly chartered a tug and took
them out to the transports.

arrived in the city at $50 p. m. and
went out to the Yale. The expedition

Spaniards Given No Quarter By In
surgents at Ell Caney.

Copyright. 1898. by the Associated Press
Before Santiago, July 7.-One secret
of the determination of the Spanish
sOldiery in Santiago to fight to the
death was the belief which prevailed
generally among them that prisoners
taken by the Americans would be put
to the sword.
1t is known that after the fall of FL
Caney, on July I, the Spanish soldiers
who escaped along the foothills, march
ed directly into General Garcia's meE,
posted to the north of Santiago. They
fought desperately, but were shown no
mercy by the Cubens, and we're ma
chcted to the last man. General Dele
rine, who was in command, was hrU
tally mutilated. The knowledge of this
massacre found its way into Santiago
and prompted the Spanish resolution tic
die rather than surrender.
The voluntary surrender of some Of
the wounded Spanish officers and men
has dispelled the delusion and is help
ing to induce General Toral to consider
the proposition to capitulate. After
the fall of FL Caney the Cubans sacked
the town. Information of the two out
RACES was promptly sent to General
Shafter, who issued orders that any
Cuban found rifiing the bodies of dead
or wounded Spaniards would be
promptly dealt with. To prevent the

tiago when it capitulates, it has been
decided to forbid the Cubans entering
the town.
MAN WHO SHOT LINARES.
1t was Sergeant Mckinney, COM
pany B, Ninth infantry, who shot and
disabled General Linares, the COM
mander Of the Spanish forces in San
tiago. The Spanish general was hit
about an hour. after San Juan hill was
taken, during the first days fighting.
Our men saw a Spanish officer, evil

staff, riding frantically about the

Sergeant Mckinney asked Lieutenant
WiSe's position to try a shot at the
officer, and greatly regretted to find
the request refused. Major Bole was
consulted. He acquiesced. with the
injunction that no one else should fire.
Sergeant Mckinney went for she'll,
slid it into a rifle, adjusted the sights
for 1000 yards, and fired. 1t fell short.
Then he put in another, raised the
sights for another thousand yards, took

Mckinney, as he saw that his ball

Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, July S.-A Spanish soldier, terri
bly, emaciated and so weak that he
could hardly walk, was picked up by
men from the United States gunboat
Annapolis today at a point near the
entrance to the upper bay. He had no
rifle. for he was too weak to carry it.
According to his story there are many
Spanish soldiers in Guantanamo in the
same condition OF starvation. He says
there is absolutely nothing to eat there,
but that the Spaniards are daily told
that if they surrender to the Ameri-
cans they Will be murdered.

Baracao came into the bay today in a
small sail boat and were picked up by
lhe cruiser Marblehead. They were Os-

There comes to the Metropolitan on
Tuesday evening. the 1st of February,
and seats will be on sale this morning,
one of the NOSE enjoyable and thor
oughly entertaining low comedies ever
seen upon Sacramento boards, THE
Man From Mexico" is one of the very
few pieces Of its order one desires TO
see more than once. 1t was our fortune
to witness its performance in its fourth
week at the Baldwin Theater, San Fran
cisco. We do not recall any low comedy
OF the farce order, or indeed of any other
order, that gave it's audience such in
tense fun-pleaSure. 1t runs counter 10
the rule that steady appeal to a single
emotion throughout a play is inartistic
and tiresome. and defeats the best dra-
matte end. This comedy appeals to but
one emotion and that continuously, and
to the utmost of tension, yet no auditor
has been known to complain of it. Jubin
the great French -dramatist, insists
that the emotions must be varied in a
play-that either long continued fun or
long continued terror is too great a call
upon the sensibilities to be risked by the
playwright. "The Man From Mexico"
defies this French wisdom. In construc-
tion the plot is very simple and does
no more than concern itself with the ad-
ventures of a young husband and his
mature widower friend who go upon a
jamboree," resulting in one of them
bringing up for thirty days on Black
wells Island for resisting the police. In
cidental to this is the effort to keep the
family Of the offender blind to the truth
and this iS Gnna hyro ha cfp
that the man has gone on a trip to
Mexico. The attempt to make the fic
ton and the reality consistent with each
other is the hinge of the play. But it is
the art of Willie Collier, the foremost
actor in the cast, and the oddity of the
character assumed by him, the central
one of the play, that makes "The Man
From Mexico" so successful We can
not conceive of it's achieving so much
in other hands. The intense seriousness
with which he assumes the role of the
derelict head of household, his smile
less wit and sober humor are new to
the stage, new to dramatic art and all
wholly his own. There is SO little ap-
pearance of effort on his part which
means that naturalness is his charm,
makes his personation so ridiculously
sincere that it simply eonvulses the
spectator with mirth. Miss Louise Allen,
as the wife Of the Man from Mexico,
is a charming figure in the play, but
save a graceful Mexican dance has very
little to do in contributing to the mirth
OF the performance. Martyr Arbuckle,
late Of the Frawley Company, is a chief
figure in the cast. 1t is the first time
this society actor has been taken into
low comedy roles. He essays the new
order well, and proves what fine dra-
Eiatic training means to the accomplish
ed actor. THE Man From Mexico ought
to draw here several nights full houses.
That it will be given but one night is
regrettable, a judgment we will war
rant all who see it when it comes will
join in. 1t is more than droll, it is more
than merry; it is more than a farce and
yet less than a comedy; it is a clever
story, a revel Of laughter, carnival of
fun, and yet without single feature in
it that vii offend the most exacting
auditor
