c Q ~ e e . Q e z q Q . . Q z z Q 2 ( fine dispatch describing the fight from the bridge of the New York.
 It is a far cry from Matanzas to Key West against a strong north west gale, and the Somers N. Smith sailed most of those eighty five dreadful miles under water. While she fairly tunneled her way the Herald-Call'S reporters penned the story as best they could, and o'clock (New York time) this morning found them filing about 4ooo words at the cable office.
 The wires were clear and that is why the readers of the Herald=CaII had the news of this most impOr- tant event since the blow ing up of the Maine before them at their breakfast table.
 Some of the newspapers here who did not cover things thoroughly and knew nothing about the engagement learned of the event through the indiscre- tiOn of a telegraph mesSen- ger, These papers hastily faked dispatches, which were printed in New York as having been written by correspondents on the spot. At 8 o'clock this afternoon not a newspaper fin the United States except the Herald and The Call had a single line about MatanZaS brought in from the fleet by it's cOrreSpon- dents.
 :, The behavior of our men-of-War in action was splendid. The news got from the flagship that the men were just as cool as though they were at target practice. This is also true of the Puritan and the Cincinnati.
 1t is also true, however, that the men on the Puritan and Cincinnati Wept during the ten minutes when the New York was engaged alone, while they had to wait for orders.
 Then, while the Puritan engaged and there still came no orders for the Cincinnati to fire the grief of Captain Chester's crew was al- most unbearable.
 Finally, when the Cincinnati got orders to engage, she steamed at first broadside on and then took position where the Rubal Cava batteries could not strike her. She fairly enfiladed the batteries and her men exclaimed with every shot:
 !" Take that for the Maine."
 There was no rejoicing, no

 ST. VINCENT, Cape Verde Islands, April 2S.-Spain's fleet is still coaling here, but it is now probable that at least several of the ships will sail tomorrow. The vessels which compose the fleet are the torpedo-boat de- stroyers Proserpina, Osada and the torpedo-boats Roamosa, Hudam and Orion. The paymasters of the boats have been settling up accounts to-day.

 There was no rejoicing, no cheering. Everything was carried out with an earnestness of pur- pose which showed sensation of which joy was not part. The men felt the pleasure of conflict pulsating in their veins, but not the pleasure of killing for killings sake.
 Too much cannot be said of the gunnery of the men on the ships, nor can too much be said in praise of the discipline which prevailed.

Dvea, Alaska, Nov. 18th, 1898.
Mr.. AND Mrs BENNETT
The moving why of this letter is
to let you know that we are again
united AS u family. Will returned
two weeks ago, and Mr.. Perkins a
few days later = both come by
way of Skaguay. rhe latter, dur
ing his visit in the city of Skaguay,
bad the very good fortune to meet
the Col. Parker party, of Sierra
county, New Mexico. A few DAYS
later i was my privilege 10 90 with
Mr.. Perkins to SkAguay and meet
Col. Parker, Harry Chandler, viii
Reilly aud Mr.. Greeley. The
health OF the party is excellent.
They have fine boat and are well
equipped for the winter and the
trip into the interior, The Pefk-
IDS family are not alone in their
desire TO see THE ADVOCATE oh
no There are others. THE
ADVOCATES that had not been sent
to the Pine Creek district during
the last four months were speedily
gotten together and given to the
Col. Parker party. We read of the
contemplated Reunion" with a
great deal Of interest, being "Old
Timere." We would like to have
been there.
The weather at Bennett and as
far as Miles Canon, nearly half the
distance to Dawson, was very fine.
There was one foot OF snow at
Bennett and nsarly two feet on
White Pass. The pansies are still
in bloom here, although we look
and are prepared for colder weath-
er. Sincerely,
Mrs. j ID PERKINS.

The value of the November
output of gold from the dry washers
of the Hillsboro gold placere, did
not reach the figures predicted by
Ahis paper few weeks ago, owing
partly to the Thanksgiving holI
day and an unexpected snow storm
Instead OF amounting to $4,000 as
We thought 1t would, the Novem
Der output of gold amounted TO
hut 50, $50. 1t WAS purchased by
Keller, Miller & Co, T. G. Long,
and Robins g. Crews
Generally speaking, a mill test
is more for the purpose of deter
the beat way to work the
ore, while the assay is to determine
the value of the ore. ln the Hills
boro district, however, the exper-
fenced miner relies more on the
mill run than the assay values as
de demonstrating the value OF his
product in general.
