We print elsewhere in this issue a dispatch from Holbrook containing particulars of the opening of Colonel Brodie's campaign yesterday at that place. Colonel Brodie was accorded a hearty reception, and at the meeting held in the public hall he made a short but forceful address which attests to his earns stness and ability as candi- date. While not an orator, Colonel BrCdie has the faculty of saying the right thing at the right time. He gave the people Of Holbrook a plain talk in which he dweit upon the grew ing interest in Arizona felt in the east, and pledged himself to work for the people of the territory if elect ed. Col Brodie is tireless worker and successful miner. As Arizona's delegate to con- gross he would give close at tention to the committee work bear body who knows anything about con- gressional life knows that the member who keeps close watch on the commit tses accomplishes more for his con- stituents than the enc who devotes his time to the sessions of the house Ari- zona needs an active, earnest man as her delegate to congress. Colonel Brodie is active and earnest. Arizona needs especially, in this republican year. to send a republican to the repub- lican congress. Colonel Brodie is the man of the hour, and Arizona will do g good stroke for itself by electing him. Happily the conditions all favor the election of Colonel Brodie. The sub stantial men of the territory, regardless of politics, sse the necessity of electing him. Colonel Brodie will continue to make friends during his progress through the territory, and on election day the voters will give him a subs-an- tial majority.

The people of Saltillo, state Of Ccah- uila, Mexico, have called the attention of the United States government to the fact that the bodies of over 800 Ameri- can soldiers lie in unmarked graves near that city.

A SELFISH MISSION.

The Journal-Miner gets in a body blow on General" Wilson in the fol- lowing reference to the generals" dis graceful pilgrimage to Washington in the effort to hold his job as attorney general by defeating the confirmation of Governor McCord:
 Colonel Wilson's gallant fight against the confirmation of Mo Cord was an anti-illegal bend fght," says the Courier. Every body in the territory knows that Cclonsl Wilson's gallan; fight against the confirmation of McCord had nothing to do with bonds legal CT illegal. According to his own admis- sions in Washington he was sent there by a syndicate from Phoenix for pure ly selfish and personal ends. Cover ncr Franklin, Treasurer Tom Parish and other democratic officials thought that if they could only prevent Me Cords confirmation the appointment would hang fire for several mcnths and they would continue to hold on to their offices. This is a matter of fact and history, and trying to boost Will sen into congress by making him a self-sacrificing martyr in this affair is too thin. The action of democratic of ficials in this matter for their own sel- fish purposes disgustea a great many democrats and they were outspoken in their opinions at the time. Wilscn went to Washington in the hope of be- ing able to hold on to his job. He failed and made himself the laughing stock, both of congressman and sena- tors, as well as of his democratic friends at home.

FERTILE SPANIARDS.
They Send Out Old Hulks to Entrap
American Ships In the Darkness

They Send Out Old Hulks to Entrap
American Ships In the Darkness.
Key West, May 22.-That fertile Span
ish brain which has been adopting all
sorts of devices to entice the blockading
ships within point blank range of the
Havana batteries has been adopting
new expedient to destroy warships.
The latest device is the sending adrift
of hulks made to resemble torpedo boats
after first loading them with dynamite,
in the hope that American ships would
ram them in the darkness. Several of
these hulks have been sent out of the
harbor.
One was sighted two mornings ago off
Cardenas by the tug Hudson. 1t was
lying motionless and appeared to be a
torpedo boat. 1t had two tunnels and a
gun over the bow. Signalling the tug
Leyden, That looks like one" the Hud
son steamed down and the Leyden went
along. The tugs opened fire at 5000
yards, and one of the shots knocked off
a smokestack, which proved to be a
wooden structure, for 1t blew into splin-
tiers. Satisfied that the boat was merely
a derelict hulk the tugs ceased firing.
similar hulk was sighted by the
Wilmington the next day. This was also
rugged so that it would appear at eve.,
short distance to be a torpedo boat d =
stroyer. The Wilmington blazed away
and sunk the hulk.
AS 1t was sinking the forward part of
the craft was blown out, and cans con-
tanning explosives were picked I'D after
the wreck sank.

Especial Dispatch to the Boston elobe.)

Especial Dispatch to the Boston Globe.)
Admiral Cervera must die like a rat in
trap or else he must make bold dash
for liberty.
In either event the result will be the
same. The Spanish feet will go down
before the storm of shot and shell which
will be hurled upon it by the unerring
marksmen of our fleet.
Up to the present time Admiral Cervera
has apparently not decided which fate he
will choose.
For nearly mile the channel is very
narrow, and from Moro castle to fort
Catilina, distance OF a quarter of a
mile, it is hardly more than 800 feet
wide.
At one point, where a shoal makes
out, the incoming and outgoing
steamers are compelled to hug a buoy
very closely, so that only one ship can
pass at time.
1t may be asked why he was not in
stantly attacked.
1t is not an easy thing to force him to
give battle.
The harbor of Santiago is probably
one of the best protected in the world.
The entrance is between two high
bluffs, so close that they are within a
stones throw of each other, with the
eastern hill crowned by an Anticipated
stone structure known as Moro castle

No News of q Battle.

1t was wildly rumored yesterday that
there had been battle and that the
whole Spanish fleet was annihiated,
with the loss OF two of our warships, but
these reports have not as yet been con-
6rmed.
A Washington special says that CT
pher dispatch has just been received from
Sampson and is now being translated.
1t is rumored that it is report OF bat
tie.
1t was reported from good authority
yesterday that word had been received
from Admiral Sampson Monday night
that he had the Spanish fleet bottled up
in the harbor oil Santiago de Cuba and
intended to lombard the town Tuesday
in the hope OF forcing fight. The bonn
bardment is therefore probably now on.
1t will be difficult thing to force the
Spanish fleet out OF the harbor il Cervera
does not wish to fight, for the land
locked condition of the harbor and the
precipitous character of the defences Of
the town make successful bombardmept
to some degree matter Of chance. From
this information it appears that the re-
port Of the humiliation of the Spanish
fleet already, which has been current, is
probably premature, although today
may bring an authentic account of bat
tie.
There are signs in Madrid that have
been noted at Washington seeming to
warrent the supposition that there has
been complete change in the Spanish
plan OF conducting the war. Indications
are believed to point to relaxation if
not total abandonment OF efforts to
conduct campaign in Cuba and the
West Indian waters.
The natural conclusion, if this premise
is well founded, would be that the Span
iards were going to concentrate their en-
tire energy to the defense of the Philip.
ines with the view OF retaining them in
the event peace is forced upon them, by
virtue of the principal OF international
law, which limits victorious nation in
indemnifying herself from the vanquished
to the territory she actually occupies
when peace is declared.
So the retreat OF the Spanish squadron
from the West Indies would be signfi-
cant, first, in the danger in which it
would place Dewey Immediately, and Sec
ond, in the hint it would convey that the
Spanish mind for the first time contem-
plates the possibilities of peace.

the deadly fire OF the heavy artillery
guns on the coast defense against
them, should they escape destruction
from the torpedoes round the forti-
fcations. They can also be utilized
to signal messages by cipher code
from one forti6cation to another.
In the experiment of the light pur-
chased from Germany, it was found
in New York city that they could
flash a message at least 70 miles.
Thus messages could be sent from
Sandy Hook to either of the forts
and they in turn could warn those in
the inner defenses of an approaching
fleet. Signaling between ship is an
old practice but only within a few
years has it become science. Swedes
and Danes have been employed often,
on account of their sobriety. The
long and short flashes execute dots
and dashes which can be read on the
sky or clouds sometimes 60 miles
away.
