Abandonment of wh,pple.

The following is a copy of ar Associated Press telegram sent from Washington March 2S:
 "Major General Miles issued an order today transferring the head. quarters and six companies of the Eleventh Infantry, now in the De partment of Colorado, to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, and also directed the commanding general of the Department of Colorado to order the headquarters of the staff and band of the Fifteenth Infantry from Fort Bayard, N. Nj, to Fort Hua. chuca, Ariz, and one company ol the Fifteenth Infantry from Fort Bayard to Fort Apache, Ariz.
 Orders were also issued discon- tinuing the post at Whipple Bar racks. Although they do not seem to do so, the orders may have bear ing on the proposed reported con- centration of troops for use in pos sible emergency"
 On reading the above, the JOURNAL MINER telegraphed to Hon. N. O. Murphy in Washington for information concerning 1t, and in reply he confirmed the report, saying tte order for abandonment had been issued by Secretary Alger.
 From that it would seem that General Miles has at last accom- plished his long cherished plans of averaging northern Arizona for it's love of that brave soldier, General Crook, and has succeeded in the present emergency In using Secretary Alger as the means for venting his spite.
 Influence is, however, hard at work to secure a countarmand of the order, and hopes are entertained that 1t may succeed and that troops may be ordered to garrison the post again,

The citizens of Flagstaff have is- sued an invitation to Governor Me. Cord, Secretary Akers and the governors staff, with their respective wives, to pay visit to the skylight city and be entertained. The in- vitation was accepted on behalf of the governor by Secretary Akers and the party will probably leave for the northern city in a few days, the date of the reception being for the 3lst of the month. Elaborate preparations have been made for the reception of the gubernational party Herald.
 It will interest the ladies partic- ularly to know that NJ. Goldwatsr & Bros. will have their spring of '9S millinery opening on Thursday, March 3l. The firm has hundreds of hats and bonnets-no two of which are alike-for the ladies to select from. But they tell about it in this issue of the JOURNAL MINER. The ladies should all read their ad- vertisement.

ANIMPARTIAL OPINION.

The article found below, taken from the St. Louis Republic, from tue pen of Riply D. Saunders, one of the most forcible of democratic writers, will be found in pleasing and patriotic contrast with some of the sereeds recently published in Ari- zOna by small fry democratic would be politicians:
 Never yet, at a critical moment, have the people of the United States found occasion to blush for an American President, in so far as the matter of his Americanism was the point to be tested.
 As a democrat, I can, of course, tie one hand behind me and point out defects as thick as black berries iu President Mckinley as the stand ard bearer of the republican party. l would be but a measly sort of a democrat if I could not, because that Is one of the first and easiest accomplishments of a party man on either side of the fence. But for al least two weeks now I have been studying NIT. Mckinley as an Amer jean, and if 1t will give him any pleasure to know it, lift my hat to hIm in that capacity.
 From the day following the de- struction of our war ship Maine in -tttt1TSQs harbor, I believe the Presi> dent haS@Seen convinced in his own mind that the disaster was due to Spanish treachery. From that day, almost until now. MT. Mckinley has proclaimed to the world-and es- pecially to Spain-that he inclined to the accident theory as the e1 pla- nation of that tragic occurrence. From that day he has hastened with all the power at the Presidents command the arming of this coun- try for war-the gathering of our navy. the preliminaries for the con- solidation of our regular and volun- teer armies, the strengthening of our coast defenses. Il do not think for a moment that the President of the United States was double laced in thus acting. Until he received the report of the Naval Board of Inquiry, upon which 1 alone he was to base his open decis- 1 ion ID the Maine case. he was iusti> l -ea in giving Spain, publicly, the l benefit ot the doubt as to the com mission of such an awful crime. ] His own conviction as an individual was his own private business. But, awaiting the moment of final decis- ion and national action, it was his | duty 10 see that this country was put upon a war footing. Surely be has done this as vigorously as though | he began each day by proclaiming l from the house tops the firm belief | I1 the guilt of Spain"

Senor Sagasta pats Blanco on the back for saying that the Maine was not blown up by dynamite.
 The verdict of the Maine board of inquiry will be taken as correct by the civilized nations of the world.
 With her recent experience with fires, Chicago will hereafter limit the construction of buildings to ten stories.
 O'Higgins has been ruled out oi the prospective war with Spain Chili does not propose to part with this famous war ship.
 The great prosperity of Kansas has given an impetus to the bank robbing industry in that state. The robbers are envious of the farmers.
 Judson Lyons, the negro national committee man from Georgia, is said to be slated for register of the treas ury, a position occupied by the late B. K. Bruce.
 Secretary Long has finally de- cided to overhaul the eight old monitors which did service during the civil war and get them in con dition for active service.
 If the Maine court of inquiry has decided that a torpedo destroyed that gallant war ship, 999, ,999 out of every million Americans will not need to be told that Spaniard did ! it.
 England appreciates the gravity of the present situation in the United States. nnglish maritime companies have cabled notices to all of their agents to insert war clause in all contracts.
 With reasonable assurance of the success of our proposed water stor- age enterprise, there should be no difficulty experienced whatever in securing a two thirds majority of the votes for it.
 It makes fellow shiver and fills his heart with foreboding, when he reads that scientific men have esti- mated the worlds coal supply will be exhausted in 346 years.
 According to late news, a shooting epidemic has broken out on the Klondike. Shooting a partner full of hot lead IS one way to keep him out of his share of cold gold that has been adopted in that section.
 Enlistments for the regular navy are being made slowly, and it Is thought that some delay will be occasioned in securing a complement of men for the two new vessels winch are now ready for service.
 A Madrid paper, in discussing Americans, very excitedly inquiries; "What do they know about noble and generous feelingsi Did they ever hear of any such thing7' 4 feeling of candor compels us to admit that they never did, as being possessed by Spaniard.
 Bismarck says that President Me Kinley has shown superior states manship by calming the public over the Maine disaster. This is high compliment, coming from such a source, but it is only a | sample of similar ones from states men abroad, as we'll as statesmen | and citizens at home.

NOW. THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

NOW. THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
 A special telegram received b,
 the JoURNAL-MINER on Monday stateC
 that President Mckinley favored aE
 armistice in Cuba till October, ana
 also favored arbitration of the Main,
 affair at some future tune. The fol
 lowing Associated Press telegram
 furnishes a complete denial of this
 and this news will be hailed witl
 delight by every patriotic Americal
 citizen. It is dated Washington
 and reads as follows:
 Concerning the reports of al
 armistice, it can be positively stateC that there will be no agreement or the basis of an armistice for eight months or for any other period. The
 United States government presented through United States Min. ister Woodford, at Madrid, a carefully prepared note dealing with the distressing condition of affairs m Cuba, making it clear this govern ment cannot much longer withhold such definite action as will bring the present struggle and suffering it is Occasloalng to a close. The note was submitted to the Spanish gov ernment the latter part of last week. A brief cablegram was received from Minister WOodford last night, but 1t is not believed to have conveyed the Spanish reply, as it was confined largely to the inquiry. It can be stated positively, however, that the Spanish answer has been made, and It cannot be doubted it is in the hands of the authorities here."
 There IS no time like the present to settle all differences between the United States and Spain. The JoURNAL-MNER deprecates war and sincerely hopes that a peaceful solu- tion of all troubles may be arrived at. It does not want peace, though, at the sacrifice of national honor. That the Maine was blown up through treachery not of the Spanish government of that of 8 Spanish citizen-has been fully demonstrated. This government has failed to fix the individual responsi- bility. This should be an easy mat ter for Spain to do. It seems abso- lutely impossible that a mine should b. placed in Havana harbor, that could produce such terrible destruc- ton and could be fired of without Spanish officials having knowledge Of it. Spain should be made to pay dearly for this fendish act of treachery, and no other nation but the United States should have a voice in determining the punish ment. If the United States is not big enough and strong enough to Vindicate its national honor in this matter, we should seek adoption from some first class power that would be able to protect us.
 The JoURNAL-MNER has an abiding faith iu President Mckinley and in Congress, and believes that they will settle these questions satisfac> tory to the American people.

CAMP VERDE SCHOOL.
Interesting Closing Exercises of Very Successful Term-Other News
 From the Valley

Interesting Closing Exercises of Very
 sueeessful Tsrm-other NsWs
 From the Valley.
 CAMP VERDE, March 27.-[ Special Correspondence. l-The closing ex- ercises of the Camp Verde school took place on the evening of March p, 1898, and will not soon be for gotten by those who were present.
 Parents, patrons and friends came from all directions, in wagons, on horseback, and a foot, to the num- Der of fully POO. The exercises con- sisted of recitations, declsmations, dialogues, selected readings and singing. The pupils seemed eager to show their parents and friends that their time had not been idled away during the past six months. The teachers, Mir. J. N. Piper and his wife, were the recipients of many compliments for the able manner in which they have con- ducted the schools, and so far as my knowledge goes, they have given entire satisfaction. l believe the pupils of this district stand second to none in the county. The pupils performed the parts assigned them Tn very creditable manner, and to make special mention of any is rather a difficult conclusion to arr rive at; so I will say all did very well. After the exercises. the ladies brought forth their well-flled bas- kets and the contents were spread on the tables, and all partook of good supper. The school exercises lasted for about three hours; every one seemed to enjoy themselves, and l general good time was had by everybody.
 There IS an enrollment of over 90. | with an average daily attendance of ! over 40. Evidence that the Camp l Verde school and settlement IS | growing is shown by the increase in the enrollment and attendance for the first time. We have had two teachers at the Post school.
 We also have quite a church going people and denominations galore, viz: The South or Shouting Methodist; the Hard-Shell Baptist; the Christian, or Campbellite; the Presbyterian, and the Dunkards. We have a preacher for each de- nomination, and each Is striving to do some good-hOpe it won't be case of the survival of the Attest, for we like vanity. Your correspondent Is not very regular attendant, for the reason he is not certain which of the orders are on the right track.
 The health of the valley is good and tbe farmers are putting in crops. The past week or so of Chil- coot Pass weather has been bad for the fruit crop; although, if We have good weather, there is still fair crop of fruit left in some of the favored places. The apple crop is not hurt as yet.
 We expect to invite the Big Bug railroad folks to run a branch down from Agua Valley to Verde Valley, so We can ship the products of the valley to the mines and to Prescott. Times are fair. Cattle in fair but ranges are sadly in need of rain. hear of some cattle buyers coming into the valley aud offering fair prices.
 The assessor has been around taking account of profit and loss to help out on the expenses of the county and Territory. VERDE.

1 While in Washington, Governor McCord had an interview with Gen eral Miles regarding the national guard m the territory. In the event Of a war, the general said, the
 United States troops would be with drawn and the national guard would
 be called upon to occupy the four
 military posts. There are now 400
 troops in these posts. The strength of the militia is only 800, divided
 into twelve companies, but the com
 panies could easily be filled to the
 limit, making in all l,2O0 men.
 Whateve other force might be needed could easily be raised.
 Keely, of motor fame, is claiming public attention again. A quarter of century has passed since he introduced bath room contTivance, run by a stream Of water running through a goose quill. He called it hydro pneumatic pulsating vacue engine. IL was the first of series of machines, the latest of which is a vibrator, with tuning fork attach ments, supposed to disintegrste the air and release and etheric force.
 Keely has received at one time from his disciples as much as Sl00,OO0 for options aud stock. He is still on the verge of success, but not quite ready for the public demonstration
 Landsmen are becoming quite learned on the subject of modern fleets. They know, for instance, that a squadron must be composed of ships of all types, torpedo catch CTS 10 go ahead, torpedo boats to assail the enemy's big ships, fast cruisers for long runs, sudden raids and reconuoitering, monitors for coast defense and battle ships for heavy pounding and the supreme crisis in s sea fight. The cruiser may engage vessel of its own class but not battle ship. What the latter most drea1s is the little tor psdo boats close to the water and armed with torpedo tubes which shoot torpedoes under the water to distaLce of nearly half mile. As soon as torpedo boat approaches it must be assailed by torpedo catchers, the swiftest of all sea craft, armed with rapid fire guns. Nelson's style of fighting has gone out en- tirely, except his rule of going straight at the enemy as soon as sighted.
 The last territorial legislature, whose fame will go laundering down the ages on the pages of history as the "Tin Horn" legisla- Iure or ArizOna, passed a law doing away with the publication of the delinquent tax lists in the various counties of Arizona. Counties which | have tried to sell the property on l which taxes are delinquent have found it impossible to do so and the counties will be deprived of the usual revenues obtained from these sales. The measure was passed more as direct slap at the newspapers than anything else, for the purpose of keeping them from receiving the amount usually paid for advertising these delinquent lists. While the will probably worry along without this business, the

 The public will now have to wait till Monday. it is said, to hear that report. A Washington telegram says that as the report is very vo- luminous, it will not be given to the press and Congress before that date, as the President will require that much time for its proper considera- ton.
 The suspense existing throughout the United States at the present time over the Maine affair is very intense. The public is promised to be given the report on Monday. No public document emanating from official sources for years was eyer looked forward to with as much anxiety, or was ever read with as much interest as will be this.
 A Cincinnati school boy proposes a subscription in every school house in the land to build a monitor to be called ''The American Boy," which shall be presented to the govern . ment.
