1 the electrical connections at these forts. Gen. Greedy was directed, if i he found that any of these connec- tions was uncompleted, to order that | it be completed immediately. One of the most important of the electrical connections in coast forti- | f1cation is that between the range finder and the gun pits. The range l finder is tower, provided with a tele- scope. As soon as the operator sights ship he determines it's distance and position by means of the range finder and then communicates the result of his observations to the gunners in the pits. The proper guns are then ele- vated and aimed to conform to the directions furnished by the operator
 in the tower.

Philips & Colwell are working on their Buckskin claim, very promising ledge owned by them.
 Dr. F. D. Hendricks left for his home in St. Paul, Minn., after a two months sojourn in Santa Maria look ing after his extensive mining inter- ests here. He is president of the Swiss Belle old company and has great faith in his Santa Maria mines, hay ing just let 250 foot contract on com pletion of which the company will erect a large plant to work their ores, their present mill being too small.
 John Roberts has commenced work on an eighteen inch ledge which is free milling and goes $30 per ton-the Ida May, as it is called, which is all right.
 Col. Dougine is pushing work rap idly on the Sultan and Wyandotte Girl, two very valuable claims he has under bond from Harry Ashton, J. R. Beatson and others. Both claims are looking we'll as to quality and quantity in all the workings. The colonel has several other rich claims under bond among which are the Turnbeaugh, Pocahontas and Trout, on each of which he intends to put force of men the coming week. The colonel is all right if his mules did run away.

 The Santa Maria Gold company of which J. c.

HOW TRYING.
Spaniards in London Break Of Rela-
 tions With Americans.

London, May 6.-Much amsuement has been occasioned among the mem- bers of the diplomatic corps by the attitude assumed by the secretaries of the Spanish legation towards the members of the United States en- bassy Until recently the most cor dial relations prevailed between them, but since the outbreak of the war, the Spaniards, when they meet Americans at the clubs or in society. merely rec ognize them by the most frigid and most formal bows. Naturally, the Americans are obliged to reciprocate with similar greetings, while smiling in their sleeves at this display of Cas- tilian hauteur. The other diplomats consider the Spanish tactics as de- cidedly childish.
 A prominent Englishman, who be- lieves in the justice of Americas cause, and who is also of the opinion that the United States will certainly have a walkover. Is Lord Wolseley, the commander-in-chief of the British forces During a dinner party con- versation Lord Wolse1ey drew paral- Tel between Cuba and Crete. saying:
 While England interfered in Crete on moral grounds, the United States has both moral and material justifica- tion for intervention in Cuba"
 ''I believe the quality of the Amer ican army and navy is so much su- perior to Spain's that the Americans will have no difficulty in defeating Spain's ships and land forces, which are their equals or superiors on paper only"
 The weeklies, except the Saturday Review, continue to favor the United States and have great faith in her success.
 The Statist thinks that if the con- tinental powers threaten to intervene Great Britain ought to veto their ac- tion, and urges the government to make this clearly understood.
 The Saturday Review pursues it's attacks upon America, and the follow ing extract will indicate the tone of it's comments: American action un- fortunately suggests the attitude of the huge and boastful bully attack ing an effete, but gentlemanly, old roue, with whom one cannot help sympathizing, especially when the bully, not content with thrashing his feeble old opponent and stripping him of his valuables, bellows cut with tears and protestations that he does 1t unwillingly and with the highest moral purposes"
 The Times today devotes consider able space to combating the state ment Of the Associated Press from this city that public opinion here is veer> ing toward Spain. It says:
 Our sympathies on the main ques- tion are with the United States, as they are held to be in the right. But on the matter of form we are not so clear or unanimous"
 In spite of the Times assertion, the facts are cabled. The government and most of the important newspapers are friendly to the United States Individual opinion and the sympathies of large majority of the British are undoubtedly anti-American. It is evident to any one having any inter- course with the people.
 The St James Gazette this after
Arizona republican., 1898-05-07

noon publishes a letter from Ernest VizetelIyl in which the writer says:
 Public opinion in London embraces two strong currents, one in favor Of America and the other in favor of Spain. These currents are as antago- nistic as our two great political par ties, though curiously enough, I have found staunch tories supporters of America, while ardent liberals have surprised me by marked sympathy with Spain. I know, too, that at least one Irish home ruler would have been now en route to Cuba to fight in be- half of Spain if the Spanish ambas- sador here had been willing"

W. A. CLARK AT GALLUP.

W. A. Clark, the great copper mag nate, is developing fine coal mine at Gallup, N. M. He purchased 3 large tract of coal land there about three months ago and has been at work op- ening it up since, and within a very brief period now he will have it in shape to commence the shipment of coal. His primary object in purchas- ing and opening up the mine is for the purpose of supplying fuel from it for his big works at Jerome and for his beet sugar factory in southern California. He is opening up the mine in the most systematic manner and will have it lighted by electricity besides using electric motors in the mine.

tiles and he now believes that he could put his system into effective operation.
 He divides the average fatal area exposed by the battleship by the area Of the target presented by the cruiser, and finds that the latter is contained in the former at least 100 times. One cruiser, he argues, would therefore be able, on an average, to destroy 100 battleships. MT. Maxim admits that this is an astounding figure, but he says it is based on such foundation of fact as to at least warrant placing them in a category of practical prob abilities
