81 900 mon woro killed or disabled.
Thoro wcro lao, 900 soldiers in that great
struggle and IL was estimated that ono
man was other killed or disabled for
every 400 shots fired, counting both tho
artillery and rifle shots. In tho Crmean
war 05,Gl5 lives were sacrificed; and in
BorodinO, whom tho French and Rus
SLAMS fought, $4,000 mon wero left dead
on tho battlefield. Thoro woro 26O,0OO
troops in combat in that engagement.
OF tho 05,G16 mon who pcrishod in the

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-Captain
w. A. Nevills was arrested to-day on
complaint of Mrs. Elsie Williams, who
charges him with sending obscene let
ters through the mails. He gave bail
to appear for examination before Unit
ed States Commissioner Heacock on
June 18th, with Henry Wadsworth and
L. b. Pheby as SuretieS.
There are three counts to the COM
plaiht, each one based upon a letter
the mine owner had written. The first
was dated June II, 1891 1t was ad
dressed to My Dear Elsie Ann" and
was signed From Your Willie" The
second was dated June Goth. 1t was
addressed to Dear Elsie and was
signed From Will The third was
addressed Darling Elsie" and the sig
nature read, From your loving Will"
All the letters We're mailed in James
town, Tuolumne County, and We're ad-
dressed to Mrs. Elsie Williams, Fresno.
1t was not to the form of address
that the complainant objected how
ever. 1t was to the contents of the
missives which, she states in her com,
plaint, are not fit to be made part of
the pleadings in the case.
The case of Nevills VS.. Williams ct
al. has been postponed until June 18th
on account of the illness of Judge

The st. Paurs Commander Saw the
Spanish Fleet at Santiago.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The United
States auxiliary cruiser ST. Paul, Cap
tain Sigsbee commanding, came into
port early to-day. Captain SigSbee
went ashore and thence proceeded tC
the navy yard. Captain Sigsbee refused
to be interviewed regarding the recent
service of .his ship in the vicinity OF
Santiago de Cuba, at which port, it is
believed. Captain Sigsbee ran the ST
Paul into the mouth of the harbor and
obtained the first definite information
of the presence there of the Spanish
Admiral Cervera's squadron.
After visiting Commodore Bunce at
the navy yard Captain Sigsbee relaxed
from his reserve sufficiently to say to
reporter: Il have been at target
practice from the first day arrived
at Santiago. on May 22d, and while
none Of my men have been in the SER
vice long am well satisfied with their
work at the guns. We have not been
in any fights, but my men will give a
good account Of themselves. 1t was
on the 10Th when We captured the Res
tormel. / knew that the Spaniards
needed coal very badly, and 1 made
every effort to see that they did not
get it.
While off Santiago with Schley, ]

Schley saw two torpedo boats. There
is no question that they are bottled up
