As the smoke lifted II was seen that
the flag ship Maria Reina ChrirtinA was
on fire. The vessel WAS completely
burned. In the interval between the
two engagements Commodore Montrio
moved his flag from the Christina to
the smaller cruiser lsla de Cuba. To
the fact that be made this change he
doubtless owes bis life.
The cruiser Castillo, next to the flag
ship, the largest and most powerful Of
the Spanish squadron, WAS also burned
The cruiser Don AntoniA de Ulloa and
the MindSnao were also badly damaged
in this encounter.

Night.

Ansbach, the German magician made
last evening a very enjoyable one for
many members of the Athletic club,
who got together at the club rooms to
witness his clever tricks. His hands
moved with the rapidity of lightning and
among other lnystifying things, he pro-
duced eggs from seemingly no where and
at. last brought out the large hen who
must have laid them. Cards passed mys-
terioIsly from pockets to pockets. lie also
gave an extra mind reading feat, by sug-
costing that if someone would secretly
write sentence of four words, exactly
the same words would appear on the
blackboard at his own bidding-and
they did so in a most literal sense
When tho joke was discovered it evoked
much laughter.

"Why, what do You mean?" asked

"Why, what do you mean" asked
Jim in surprise.
"Well, you're the third. Two fellows
came down by the midday from London,
and commenced to fly around and ask n
thousand questions about this Kalocz-
sky. Blow Kaloczsky. l say"
WHO were they? DO you know"
"Oh, detectives, they said, but don't
know. They're in the station masters

but no signs of our late companion. /
requested permission to interrupt their
conversation and told them what l
wanted.

past II What are you talking about?
We're the only detectives who left
Scotland Yard this morning, and we
came by the midday. Kaloczsky was to
travel by it, we were told, but he never
turned up"
"Well, I've brought another detect
i've, l tell you'll answered, "or some
one who said he was a detective. So
now you know"
"What sort Of a man was he?" asked
the other. I fancy he began to have a
suspicion of the truth.
"Short, close cropped hair, sandy
whiskers and eyes like o ferret's," l re-
piled laconically.
"Kaloczskv himself, by all that's sa-
cred! My man, you've been instrument
tai in assisting the biggest rogue in Eng
land to escape"
He pulled out his watch angrily.
"Six O'Clock. Yes, he's now on board
the New York liner and just half al
hour away from Liverpool, and by
b time We could get after him it
would be useless. Goodby, Mr.. Robson,
l congratulate you. He's fooled you all
around"
And SO it was. Some time after l got
q letter bearing the New York post
mark. 1t ran something after this fash
ion:
DEAR Mr.. RoBsoN-I dare say you've dis.
covered by this how you have been taken in.
I must ask your pardon, hut really it was the
only method l saw Of e~ffecting my escape

upon which l must renew my congratulations
and thanks, was one Of my assistants. He ap
pears to have played his part very capably.
At any rate, things turned out just az l had
anticipated. In a fit of righteous Indignation
you refused to have anything to do with the
scheme and rushed on to Scotland Yard with
your precious information. I think between
us we put the detectives on a very nice false
scent. The little mishap which occurred to

it's. Arizona is on the up grade. and investors who embrace present oppOr- tunities undoubtedly will be well satis- fled. While Arizona's claims to state- hood are likely to be ignored for some time to come, the solid, substantial people of the territory are not discour- aged. Statehood will come just as soon as the financial clouds clear away from the country. A few demagogues in Arizona are crying for home rule that is, the privilege of electing admin istrative officers instead of being gov erned by appointees of the president. Home rule of this character, if granted by congress. would put an end to the statehood idea for twenty years at least. "-C Chicago Chronicle.

 c. c. Randolph of Phoenix, Ariz., editor of the Arizona Republican, is staying at the Auditorium annex. Mr.
 Randolph was formerly Washington correspondent of the New York Times. and is on his way to Washington to attend the annual dinner of the Grid iron club. Mir. Randolph speaks with pardonable enthusiasm about Arizona.
 There are great mining and grazing and agricultural areas in Arizona" he said. 'sand they are attracting the Jzttention of the investing world-the United Verde is in Arizona. Some of our gold mines are famous producers. In recent years railroads have pene- trated rich mineral districts and others opened up by new roads. Arizona's climate is so eauable that mining may be carried on every day in the year. The interest excited by the gold dis coveries in Alaska is certain to help the nearer at home gold producing regions. Many eastern capitalists are now engaged in investigating the op- pOrtunities that exist in Arizona for money making. It is surprising that more Chicago capitalists do not turn their eyes in the direction of our treas- ure territory. Legitimate investments in Arizona are absolutely safe. Our territorial warrants are now selling ut par and territorial bonds are in de- mahd. One big Chicago company is now negotiating for big block of our bonds. The total indebtedness of the territory is only about ssOO,0OO. Our banks have several millions in depOs-

f1ate to Part With Other
Territory.
MADRID, July 10. % a. m,-The pos
sibility of peace with the United States
is being widely discussed in the news.
papers and by the public. The Con.
servative papers declare Spain is pre-.
pared to accept peace, provided it
implies only the loss Of Cuba. But,
they assert, Spain would prefer war
q l'outrance if the United States should
claim Porto Rico, the Philippines, or
an immense indemnity which would be
impossible for Spain to pay.
The Correspondents asserts that
General Correa, the minister for war,
does not disagree with the other cabinet
ministers so seriously as is generally
supposed, and in view of the gravity OF
the Cuban situation, it is possible he
will mo- longer oppose peace, provided
the conditions are not too onerous
The public connects the recent con.
ference between Duke Almodoyar del
Rio. the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs, and the French ambassador
here, N. Patenotre. with the report
that the French ambassador at Wash.
ington, NJ. Cabron. have been instruct.
ed to ascertain the lightest conditions
upon which peace is obtainable.

Brought ont by Newspaper Controversy.
Secretary Long has been in receipt
of kilograms OF personal nature from
Commodore Schley. and it is believed
from Admiral Sampson as we'll. 1t is
supposed they have been called forth
by the newspaper controversy over the
credit of the victory over the Spanish
squadron, controversy which is most
earnestly deprecated by the officials OF
the navy department. Secretary Long
declines to make public these cable
grams, though it is believed that they
tend to demonstrate the existence OF
good relations between the two officers
and disposition on the part OF both to
be adjudged strictly according to the
canons of naval law.
Admiral Sampson has cabled to the
department that he believes the wreck
ing plant which is now on Its way
down to Santiago to endeavor to save
some of the Spanish ships Is sufficient
for the purpose, so far as the question
of mere capacity is concerned. The
naval officers are particularly DESTROYS
