Something About Report Of
the Wainwright Board.

Washington, Oct 13.-The publication
Of what purported to be the report Of
the Wainwright board of parts taken
by the respective vessels of the United
States feet In the destruction Of Ger
vera's squadron, has caused consider
able commot!on in the navy depart
ment.
In view of the fact that the report
had not reached Washington at the
date of the publication, an inquiry was
set on foot by the department to ascer-
tain, first, whether the publication was
accurate and, second, who was re-
sponsible for the discourtesy involved
in the publication of an official report
before it mad reached the navy de-
partment.
Commander Wainwright, the head Of
the board, arrived in Washington yes
terday, and very promptly disclaimed
any knowledge Of the publication. He
said he had left instructions that the
report was to be transmitted by the
recorder, Lieut.. Capehart, to the COM
mander Of the North Atlantic station,
Commodore Philip.
The commodore, in answer to an in
quiry, sent the following dispatch, di-

The man who goes to any considerable Arizona town with the idea of the South west derived from novels, or from ''The Anzona Kicker" will be greatly mystifed lie will ind as many churches as in towns 0t corresponding size in Pennsylvania 2r Ohio; and probably more schoolhcuges. He will find plenty of liquor-shops. too. and -gambiing houses, and dancehouses. and vel he will see little disorder unless he hunts

 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali foruia catches Of Arizona is that of the picturesque town Of Yuma, which is snug3y situated in the embrace of gentle rolling b.lls, upon whose crasts and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowdipg the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose unde9eloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and e such, .r is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- aljzed. But coupled with her Ceographi- gal position we find that she is the center of country whose agricultural possibiii- fics are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become g paradise of bloom.

Is IT TAPLACE FIT TO LIVE IN?

This depends on what one expects in q
 huge, parsely settled Territory of mount
 aims and deserts. The man who looks fo1
 either the beauty or the seductive excite.
 ment of Monte Carlo will not find it. As
 little will he fad the historic remains or
 the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusements and luXuries of our own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But 1t has two transcontinentaI lines Of railway with numerous feeders; it has fast mails and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbino with the intense life of the splendid West.
 The two principal towns in the south ern portion, chiefly sought for their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson. Each Of them has ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have tue electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches.

Eig Attractions and Advantages as 2
 Place of Residence in Winter,

Whitelsw Reid, owner and editor of the New York Trbane, who has spent the last ! two winters in Arizona for the benefit Of bis health, writes entertainingly and in s5ructivoly concerning that part of the cou4try. Mir. Reid says;
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as a place for winter residence. and there appears to be such dear.h of pre- else information among many who are vitaIly interested, that 1t seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during the day, Of course there were a good many days which weather observer would de scribe as "cIoudy," and some that were ''sho8ery; but during these five months j1rom November, 1895, to May, IS90) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt. any. where north of Luxor, Arizona is the land of sunshine. As to details:

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of sr
 era of wonderful social and industrial de
 velopment. There can't be a doubt about
 the fact. The dawn for which she ha.
 waited so long is breaking at last. There
 is every promise of day of great pros
 perity and permanent upbuilding just be-
 fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among
 her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her Q full share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists
 1 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunburst of energiaing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the con- pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny ill her own hands.
 Tie population of Arizona is Mexican. This is mistake of great Importance fro,n the moral point of view. There Is but one center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ont the pred0minating element. It think l 1t IS certain that Arizona has not to-day l nearly so large a Mexican population as | Colorado and not above one-tenth as much | IS New Mexico. -''Fitz- Mac," in Denver 1 News.

The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Pctraea. It is much drior than in the parts of Morocco, Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air OF the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somewhat cooler.

ACTUAL HUMIDITY.

This IS extremely slight, everywhere in Arizona, as compared with any eastern climate in the United States. The air is dri9St on the high mesas, remote from snowclad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri. gation has been begun. Wherever irripa- tlon is carried on on large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to an eastern visitor it is scarcely perceptibIe. The same Government observations aI- ready cited show relative humidity. at Phoenix or Tucson, averaged for weeks. from morning and evening readings, at less than half the usual humidity on dry days in New York. General Greedy, in a pnb ication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from I1a to 1 grains per cubic foot.

An EXrRAoRpINARY STORY.


The Italian papers are filed with de.
tails OF an extraordinary incident Of ST.
Gillian life recently brought to light, the
Imprisonment for four years Of a lady
and her daughter in their own house
by the steward charged with the adj
ministration OF her property. To this
man, Cannella, the Princess Carini had
cOntided the management Of her affairs
on her judicial separation from her hus'
band with a salary Of 5000 francs yeaf
in addition to free quarters in her pal
ace. Incredible as it sounds, he found
means to lock her and her daughter IN
a room, from which he gradually re
moved all the furniture except a wretch
ed mattress, often leaving his victims
to suffer from cold and hunger, so that
they were glad to beg a piece of bread
from the gardener and coachman who
they sometimes saw by stealth. Mean
time Cannella, who was inYested with
full powers over the property by legal
instrument gave ordePS to- the porter
to say that his mistress had left home
Hts final act Of tyranny was to force
the princess to sign a will making over
the estate to him as guardian OF, tina
Younger daughter who was blind from
birth The suspicion that this move was
preliminary TO her murder, drove hef

should NOT have taken earlier, that OF
writing to her lawyer, sending the let
ter by means Of the coachman, and max
ing known the violence to which she
had been subjected Even on the arrival
OF the police to search the house, Can
nella's mother who had the key OF the
princess room, refused to surrender IT.
and they had to effect an entrance by
escalading a kitchen window. The Cor
riere describes the Joy of the prisoners
at their release as beyond words, and
the spectacle presented by them as most
pitiable when they emerged, miserably
clad. pale, emaciated, and shtvering
with cold. All Cannella's papers We're
seized, the porter was arrested. and the
palace left in charge of four officers or
The police. The chief criminal was pre-
sugnabiy away, as no mention is made
of his arrest, but that of several accom-
plices is spoken of as probable. SO mel
dramatic an incident can only be ex-
planned by the terrorism exercised by
the Malta the all-pervading criminal
association of South Italy, whose work
ings are so wildly portrayed In Mr.
