1 few drops of rain were falling In one of the empty adobe buildings shelter was had for the night. But although l the big fireplace was piled high with dry yucca wood it was impossible to keep warm. The wind came in through broken windows and cracks in the roof and along toward morning each gust brought with it a cloud of fine snow. When day broke the prospect was anything but a pleasing one. Fog and clouds hung over the mountain peaks and gentle snow was falling and cov- ering the face of nature. The air was bitterly cold.
 In spite of these obstacles the party started out The trail lay toward the north and was mostly down hill, so that 1t grew warmer as the descent was made. This, however, was not much of an advantage. for the snow turned to rain and soaked clothing and camp outfit thoroughly. Good pro- gress was made, however. The way lay along the base of Clark's Peak and by noon Valley Wells was reached. This place is only water hole at the lowest point in the journey.
 From here the trail began to ascend again and was very steep. Two hours of slow travelling brought the party to small turquoise camp, where it was decided to stop for while.
 At this time the party was ninety six hours out of San Francisco. The camp was at an altitude higher even than Manvel, so that winter weather prevailed. The thermometer was 10 degrees below freezing and a fierce snowstorm was raging. Although some of the mines, and hieroglyphics were near by it was impossible to examine them, so thickly was the air filled with the falling snow. There was nothing to do but stay in camp, make an effort to keep warm and wait for morning.
 The snowstorm ragged until nearly midnight, when the wind died down and the clouds dispersed. When at last the sun rose it was in cloudless sky. The air was a little cold, but otherwise there was nothing to be desired.
 From a casual typographical inspec- tion without scientific instruments of this locality it appears that at one time there was a center of volcanic action at a certain point. Here there are dog ems of extinct craters with fairly we'll preserved walls Toward the north ward the lava flowed and formed the country as it is to-day. This country is cut up into canyons and valleys of the widest description. Vegetation Is scarce and small in the number Of plants. On the sides of the canyons are high cliffs filled with caves.
 In examining this country The Calls expedition started from one of the low points in the canyons, and worked up- ward toward the craters.
 1t is in the valleys between the caa-

In order to reach the locality it was necessary to take the railroad to Blake, a small station on the Santa Fe road about twenty-five miles this side of the Needles From here there is plug road that runs to Manvel. supply sta tion in the mountains. To reach this point consumed forty-four hours, and the journey had just begun. Here a team and wagon were obtained and the start to the mines was made. J. w. Stine became one of the party at this point to act as guide. By wagon trail (roads there are none) the distance to the mines is said to be sixty miles.
 The fact that Manvel is nearly 5000 feet above sea level made the weather very cold. A wind came from the north that cut like a knife and drove the clouds of sand raised by the wagon into eyes and ears with relentless fury.
 Six hours travelling, through noun tain canyons. down and across the Ivanpan Sink and up into the noun tains on the north brought the party to Mescal, an abandoned silver mine. A storm had come up by this time and a

would ln some manner make public his views, but not on the floor of the Sen ate just yet. The facts are that the speech was made according to a careful ly arranged programme. Senator Proc tor wrote out his speech. He read 1t to Assistant Secretary of State Day. Then he read 1t to the President, who cut out certain humorous passages Thus the speech had on 1t sort of semi-oficial stamp
 The speech tends to confirm the view previously advanced in the Herald that the administration regards the inde- pendence of Cuba as inevitable Com ing as 1t did, and when 1t did, and from whom 1t did, the speech will go far toward allaying the suspicious of the jingoes that the President is in league to cheat them out of war, no matter what may occur.
 Another discordant note has come from Madrid, or at least note regarded as discordant in official circles. This is the semi-oficial utterance that Spain knows the Maine was blown up by an interior explosion and that If the United States demands indemnity on the ground that it was an external explosion the demand will be indignantly repelled by Spain.
 This seni-official utterance does two things, 1t was pointed out to me to- night. It shows that no matter what the naval court reports, Spain is ready to stand by the interior explosion theory and will be angry if indemnity is de- nianded
 It was believed that Spain was assert ing that the explosion was within the ship in order to throw the matter into international arbitration. The intimation that our request for indemnity would not be well received will not be condu- cive to international harmony.
 have no reason to change the opin- ion previously expressed in the Herald that the hitch in the negotiations for indemnity would speedily lead to the recognition of Cuban independence. The prospect Of this being done, how ever, IS not so serious since the Spanish Minister says such action would not necessarily be casus belli. I am told there is no change in the policy at the White House. The President expects to have the report of the Maine Court of Inquiry in his hands within the next forty-eight hours. Then he will make up his mind what he will do. He wants the country meanwhile to feel that he is not unmindful of his duty to it. The sit nation regarding possible hostilities is being very closely watched. How close ly 1t Is being watched may be guessed from the fact that the disposition of war vessels, which was made in orders issued to-day, was fully discussed at the cabinet meeting last Tuesday
 Members of the Cabinet heard with ill-concealed satisfaction of the holding of the Spanish torpedo fotilla at the Canary Islands.

Located in the Renotest Wds of San Bernardino County and Marked by
 Strange FierogyphiCs
Vast Deposits of Bright-BIue Turquoise That Cover Many Acres of the Earth's Surface-DoctOr Eisen Calls It One of the Greatest Dis
 cOveries Made in California;

Archaeology has been immeasurably enriched by the discovery just made by an expedition sent by The Call to the remote wilds of San Bernardino Coun- ty There have been found the mines of the ancients, long lost to knowledge, and so the secret source from which the Aztecs drew their supply of turquoise is no longer a secret locked in the mists of the past. The beds of precious stones have been located, and more interest ing still the tools of the miners, left in the pits they dug with implements of stone, were picked up where they had been laid by hands that had for centu- ries been forgotten dust. With some inkling of the importance to be at tached to the results The Call request ed that Dr. Gustav Eisen of the Acad- emy of Sciences become a member of the expedition and from scientific standpoint analyze the bearing that whatever developed might have on arch geology, a study to which he has de- voted years and concerning which he is ranked as one ests he ni ghe4t author tiles. In his own ciear-cut language Dr. Eisen presents his views.
 Down in the northeast corner of San Bernardino County are the abandoned turquoise mines of prehistoric peo- pie.
 This fact has been settled beyond doubt by an expedition sent out by The Call to investigate the matter, and the discoveries made by the party must be conceded to be the most important, from an archaeological point of view, that have yet been made In California Much light is thrown on the lives of the aborigines of the Pacific Coast, and it would appear as though a few mys- teries had been cleared up. At any rate rift has been made In the clouds of the past, and no doubt future scien-

tific research will make all as clear as such matters can be made.
 The tales the prospectors had told were glowing in the extreme There were miles and miles of volcanic rock carved with strange signs; there were hundreds of caves that showed evil dences of having been inhabited long long ago; there were extinct volcano craters, strange springs of water, mys- terious passages cut through the rock, ancient implements lying about, and hundreds of acres of the earth's surface covered with outcroppings of turquoise And all that the prospectors had told

considers that a great diplomatic victory has been gained by what has thus far transpired and that there is now hope of settlement of not only the Maine disaster but of the entire Cuban ques- ton without hostilities.
 The principal victory, the officials consider, is the decision of Spain to keep her fleet at the Canary Islands. From strategical standpoint this would seem to be big gain for the United States The presen of Spanish tor pedo hotilla in Havana harbor would make the task of our rova1 fleet much more serious and dangerous one if com ing events should make it necessary to attempt the capture of that place.
 At Hampton Roads the American fleet will be only thirty-six hours sail from Havana At the Canary Islands the Spanish fleet will be four weeks from Havana By this agreement the United States has the Soanish Govern ment in a position where the further westward movement of the torpedo fo- tilla could be considered an act of war, which would justify this country in in tercepting the fotilla at sea and thus prevent 1t ever reaching Havana harbor.
 Carrying out its part of the bargain, the United States battleships Massachu- sets and Texas have been ordered to Hampton Roads and the remainder of the fleet will probably be ordered north within the next few weeks, unless new conditions should arise as a result of the receipt of the report of the Maine Court of Inquiry.
 Spain has likewise held to the bar gain and has retained at the Canary 1sl- ands the torpedo fotilla. which arrived at that point to-day from Cadiz
 Senor Don Luis Polo Bernabe, the Spanish Minister, has made a statement as to what Spain might and might not regard as cause for war. Senor Polo Bernabe was talking to- day about the relations between his country and the United States and ex- pressed the hope and belief that war would not come He was asked whether Spain would regard the recognition of the independence of the Cuban insur- gents as casus belli
 No" he replied, such action would not necessarily be regarded as such. It would of course cause great indigna- ton and result in the relations of the two countries becoming very much strained"
 But, suppose the United States in tervened to end the war?"
 T presume the only intervention that could be attempted would be armed in- tervention That would certainly be casus belli.'
 Until the Spanish Minister spoke the general impression was rfat the recog- nition of Cuban independence would bring the two nations into conflict. Senor Polo de Bernabe intimates that there are conditions in which. it might pass without serious trouble.
 But there have been other notes struck to-day which are discordant and yet which may have only momentary The speech of Senator Proctor, who has been to Cuba, with his Yankee eyes open, was entirely un- expected. It was presumed that he
The San Francisco call., 1898-03-18

has been found to be true by The Calls expedition. In fact, the prospectors greatly underrated the importance of the things they had told about
 The Calls party left San Francisco about two weeks ago and have just re- turned, after having spent several days in the locality. The out-of-the-way To- cation of the mines and the lack of travelling facilities made it a difficult matter to go and return, so that most of the time was spent on the road. But the trip has amply repaid for the effort and the hardships necessary. to undergo to obtain the information.

 Behind all this is what amounts to practically suggestion from Spain that the United States use its good offices to bring about peace in Cuba, The par ties concerned in the negotiations which have brought about this status Of af- fairs are all extremely reticent as to just what Is contemplated. There IS no doubt, however, that the frequent con ferences between Assistant Secretary Day and Senor Polo y Bernabe. the Srariisl, Minister coupled with the lengthy cipher cablegrams which have passed between the State Department and Minister Woodford. have been for the purpose of averting hostilities and with a view of bringing a speedy end to the Cuban rebellion.

 Cuban independence the President considers to be written in the book of fate, and if the good offices of the ad- ministration are used to bring about peace in Cuba they will be used in this direction
