By Cable to the Age-Herald.
 Copyrighted by w. K. Hearst
 Paris, Feb. 26.-Queen Isabella of Spain received The Age-Herald correspondent this evening and made the following state ment over her signature to The Age-Her- aid: Aa
 ''It is an infexible rule of my life not to talk politics, but I can approach the sub ject you mention from the standpoint of humanity. If the Maine explosion was an accident, it is most deplorable. If the result of malice, it is dastardly. I refuse to believe that Spaniards could have done such cowardly deed. For humanitarian reasons wish the Cuban war were ended. My country is impoverished. Many have gone to early graves in Cuba. The eyes of Spanish mothers are red with weeping for their loved lost ones. do not like to con- template war between Spain and the United States Their past should prevent it. For the sake of suffering humanity, I wish from the bottom of my heart that war in Cuba was ended somehow"

IN CASE OF NECESSITY
McKinIeE Will Hesitate Before He Takes Any
 War-like Action.

Washington, Feb 26--A member of the cabinet in speaking today of the attitude of the president on the question of war with Spain, said:
 President Mckinley is giving careful and earnsst consideration to every phase of the Cuban situation as it appears, but he will not be jingoed Into war, or act in anticipation of events which occur. He fully realizes what war means. and will not go into this last direful extremity without the approval of his conscience, and after a conviction that such course would be right in the sight of God and of man. But, whenever the honor and integ- rity of the nation, or its people. become in- volved, the president may be depended upon to do his whole duty. and do 1t promptly"

AN ENGLISH EXPERT SAYS
 IT CAME FROM THE OUTSIDE. By Cable to the Age-Herald.

Copyrighted by W. R. Hearst. By Cable to The e-Herald-Copyrlghte by W. R. Hearst.
 London, Feb. 26.-Hiram Maxim, inven- tor of the Maxim gun, asserts that the evidence shows that the Maine was ex- ploded by torpedo or mine. He says: Notwithstanding what has been said in England about carelessness board American warships, l would say that am strongly of the opinion that still greater care Is exercised on American men-of-war than on English men-of-war. I believe that the hull of the Maine will show evi- dences that she was exploded from the outside. If it be found that part of the bottom was blown inward it will be demon- strated that the primary explosion was from the outside and this explosion might have set off some of the ammunition in the magazine of the ship. If the whole of 1t had been set off the ship would have been completely demolished"

The Inception of the Trouble

Rose Thomas a plain everyday negress. with @ "befor de wah" stamp on her countenance, was the leading character in the inception of the reign of the white cappers A. w Roland was then a mer- chant at Kennedy. Rose did tine washing for the Roland family. The Roiands had some children who terrorized the neigh bors' children. and especially every negro child in the vicinity.
 One of the Roland children persisted in playing pranlz5 on Rose. Rose kept her anger down for a long while but suddenly 1t broke loose one day and the Roland child received a resounding smack on the cheek, and immediately there were tears with accompanying facial expression and noise. The child told its parents, and the child's indignation was reflected and mag nified in the bosom of the father. Then it is believed, that Roland organized his band. On a dark night old Rose was beaten near to death. She had Roland ar rested and indicted, but it was not long be- fore Rose disappeared. She is now at Stein, Miss, and will be brought to Vernon to appear before the grand jury this week. There were other witnesses in this case.
 They were threatened and their huts riddled with rifle bullets. They needed no stronger invitation to get together fhelr belongings and skip. Things became so warm for Roland that he then left Ken nedy and went to Gordo.

 IA fair illustration of their methods is exemphfed by the actions of Walker Me Carthy, a negro man. Walker was wit ness against one of the band, and he was notified to leave the community.

Adamson and Stanley L. Conklin re-
ceivers and fixing the bond at $4,000.
Mr. Adamson filed his bond with the
Utah Title Insurance e Trust company,
John E. Dooly and w. S. Mccormick
as sureties, and will proceed at once
to take possession of the Ogden wa
terworks system and all the other
property of the defendant company.
The suit was filed several days ago,
but was not given out for publication
until the receiver had qualified. In
the bill of complaint it is alleged that
the company executed $500 Z per cent
mortgage bonds of the denomination
of 81, 600 each. on JAN l, 1895; that said
bonds are held by the plaintiffs on
behalf of numerous parties who own
them; that the bonds are secured by
trust deed in favor of these plaintiffs
upon all the property of the defendant
company, including franchises in Utah
and Idaho and the entire Ogden City
water system, and 4,4S0 acres of land
been made in the conditions of the
bonds, the plaintiff now exercises it's
right to declare the total bond issue
due.
1t is then alleged that there are
taxes and other charges against the
property to the amount of $1,000, due
and unpaid; that the defendant has so
managed its affairs that its franchises
are imperiled by reason of the suit of
Ogden City against this defendant.
The plaintiff then prays for decree
of foreclosure, the appointment of a re-
ceiver and for an injunction preventing
the defendant from disposing of any
of its property in the meantime.

TEL. sos.

Word comes from Rocky district, in
Beaver county, that there is a notice
able revival of activity in this promis-
ing camp and that the signs of the
hour indicate that the mines of this 10
cality viii pose as heavy shippers in
the near future.
Rocky district is located just west of
Frisco, on the Oregon Short Line, and
the main mines of that section are
within half mile or so from the road,
so that shipping facilities cannot be
complained of, while the leading pro-
ducers are most accessible.
AS is well known, the Montreal is
the most prominent mine of the camp
and the Indications are that it will
eventually come to the front as one
of the greatest copper producers in this
intermountain region. This mine is
being vigorously worked, while Jim
Kennedy is working a force of six
men in the operation of the Old Hick-
DRY, another noted property, and lit is
understood that DR.. p. A. H. Franklin
is developing a property in the near
vicinity on which he has a lease and

present war.
REFERRED TO IN PARLIAMENT.
London, May 16.-The speech of Jo-

To Deepen the Ajax Shaft.

The Herald is informed that the
Ajax Mining company. encouraged by
the successful results attending deep
mining in adjoining properties, and
especially so in the Grand Central
has decided to do a little deep mining
on its own hook, and with this in
view has given orders to deepen its
double compartment shaft, now down
to the 400 foot level, until it is demon
strated what is below the present
workings, the belief being that with
greater depth mammoth bodies of high
grade ore will be uncovered.
AS a surface producer the Ajax has
no rival or superior in that portion of
fintic district, and as the groupings
on the property are mammoth in their
proportions it is reasonable to believe
that with greater depth the company
will find bodies of pay mineral as large
and as extensive as those which have
made the Mammoth famous in the past
and which, at the present time, have
attracted so much attention to the
Grand Central.
