The Fourth of July and Havana.

If the government can be Deweyized even to a moderate and conservative extent the Cuban problem can be fully solved and the Alabama soldiers. sun-browned and ser vice-hardened returned to their homes by the Fourth of July. This is not asking the fleet to smash at sight the defenses of Ha- vana as Dewey did those of Manila, but it simply involves a speedy and heavy ad- vance by land and sea upon town only one hundred miles from this country-one hundred miles by transports. the easiest and readiest method of moving troops.
 There is no need of excessive caution second-class country. It is not above the third class, and the preparations and de- lay in meeting Blanco in Cuba are wholly dispropertionate to the facts of the case. This is the same Blanco who has not been able to whip the insurgents when they did not possess field gun, and had few good rifles, and who were to consider every cartridge as something almost beyond re- placement. This country has the fnsur- gents as allies, and extensive preparations for meeting Blanco. who has no fleet to support him. and no hope of victory in the long run, are altogether superfuous.
 Nor is there any need of skirmishing over the outlying provinces of Cuba. When Havana falls, all Spanish power in the
 
 agricultural provinces, and even of the lesser ports, will not insure the surrender of Blanco and of Havana, but the surren- der of Havana will hand over to the United States the entire island at once, and no more fighting will be necessary. A battle must be fought at Havana, and the quicker it Is fought. the fewer troops from this country will be sacrificed to the deadly fever of the wet season. A strong, speedy continuous movement against Havana will accomplish the task, and nothing else will. An energetic campaign from Matanzas, three days march from Havana, or from some similar point of vantage, would in- sure the fall of Havana in thirty days time. Over this proposition there is scarce- ly room for doubt, if Havana be made the chief point of aggressive effort, leaving movements in other fields to follow at the convenience of the fleets and armies
 If this be done-and the indications are that it will be-the war will be practically ended by the Fourth of July, and the Ala bama boys will be at home again. That would make the national holiday great occasion, and there should be in Alabama towns, not only displays of patriotism, but public expressions of gratitude and thanksgiving that will render the day gIo- rious and memorable W

DEWEY JOINS THE HERO GROUP.

From the New York Dspatch.
 In recognition of his triumph over the Spaniards at Manila, Commodore George Dewey's portrait will be placed in the pic- ture gallery and reception room of the navy department by the side of those of men who in years gone by have achieved fame in de- lending their country on land and sea, and whose names are synonymous of patriotism and valor. Secretary Long has recently commissioned an artist to execute like ness of Commodore Dewey, but pending its completion a large crayon portrait will oc- cupy prominent place in the gallery. This was received from Boston and was placed in position. It shows the bust, head and shoulders of the victorious commander of the Asiatic squadron.

EASY FOR HIM.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
 ''He is lost!' they cried as the cannon ball whizzed toward him. But, no; they were wrong.
 In another minute he was lowing and smiling holding his hat in one hand and the ball in the other.
 s'It is nothing" he said; nothing at all for the famous shortstop of the Podunk baseball team.'
 Then they recognized him and cheered themselves hoarse.

DEWEY BABIES

From the Washington Post.
 The naming of babies for the victorious admiral of the Asiatic squadron has ai- ready begun. Representative Adolph Meyer of New Orleans had a telegram yesterday from one of his admiring constituents an- nouncing the birth of a son. He would have named the youngster solely in honor of the Louisiana representative, but in view of the great triumph at Manila he deemed 1t advisable to honor Admiral Dewey also. Therefore the son will bear the name of Dewey Meyer Hommadger.

to obtain it either by his own labor OF
by the hire of the labor of Ross or any
other enterprising bona fide resident
or citizen who made business of fur
nishing ii for the purposes mentioned
and conditioned in the statute. Ross
died in April and the suit abated as to
him. but the company has felt that it
should. and it will do so, defend his
name against any charge of wrong
doing
Another strange thing in this case is
the fact that it was the first time in the
history OF this territory that woman
has addressed a jury in United
States court Miss Sarah Herring
made speech of over an hour in
length, altogether on the law points in
yolved and the counsel for the gov
eminent do not hesitate to award to
her the credit of having faced them
with legal posers and of being to a
great extent responsible for the verdict
given. She proved, if it needed prov
ing, that woman with mind and
viii to back it may occupy high place
Il the legal circle, and it is predicted
by many members of the profession
who listened to her in Tucson last
week, that the old male attorneys OF
the territory who have been going
along feeling easy of interference with
their records of victories, that MISS
Herring will in short time cause
many of them legal humiliation.
Here in Phoenix there is general
feeling of rejoicing among all miners
and mining men over the verdict In
the Copper Queen case. OF number
interviewed on the subject the express
sion was such that it can be all summed
I'D in the words of Col. Lum Gray,
who said: 1.-The government gave the
privilege to miners and every miner
is interested in seeing to it that the
does not take it away.

AT THE HOTELS.

From Railroad Pass, in Cochise
county, to the Chiricahua mountains,
running in a course that a son of Nep-
tune would call SOU b. souwest, to the
boundary line of Mexico, is distance
variously estimated from seventy to
eighty miles. 1t may be more 1t
may be less. But for the purpose of
this story any distance is sufficient
when we know that it is nearly all
IN mineral and in districts. There is
lewiston, Dos Cabezas, Brannock,
Wilgus, Powers, California, Swiss
helm and others, the Sulphur Spring
valley stretching its trail almost in a
straight line from the pass to the line
at Don Luis, or McNahrs. Along
down the valley in the Chiricahua
range are several passes through which
man and beast find ingress and egress
to and from Sulphur Spring valley.
Man, regardless of his color, beast, no
matter as to size, kind or sex
In the early eighties the valley, the
passes, the creeks and canyons knew
little of the human kind other than the
long haired fiends of the same color
as the mineral Astounding so plentifGlly
in that section of the country, the
dread and dreaded Apache.
In 1887 Daniel D. Ross, an intrepid
frontiersman, pushed his way throUss
into that part OF COchise county now
N question, and into the canyon
known as Rock Greek. One of the frs
things noted by Ross in this solitude
was the excellence of the timber ana
fits easy eonvertibilitE to valuaurU use
mining and domestic. Inc next thing
he stumbled upon was an old golc
rocker and the bones OF two human
beings who had evidently prospec1ef
for and washed their last of gold lus1
where they fell. The evidences Of
an Apache visit were not wanting il
that scene, and Ross rested by the
side of the rocker and pondered the
situation. There was but one result
for a man OF his kind. He would not
turn back Here was a future for him
If he could cling to his scalp. He re-
manned.
1t took labor. 1t took time But
these were his own and he soon
had a sawmill erected, a monument
over the last resting place Of the two
dead prospectors. Indians? Yes
plenty and often. Ross survived them
and the saw mill performed its work
daily and often nightly.
Miners came in, located and deYe1-
oped properties. The Copper Queen
Consolidated company by contracts
with Ross increased the capacity oil his
saw mill plant and his means Increased
proportionate with the influx OF 1ndl-
yadual holders and corporate owner
with ever swelling pay rolls. Towns
sprung up by the way and became OF
more or less Importance. The bac1lll
of Bisbee received its first introduc-
ton at the hands of Ross. 1t now
boasts of 5000 inhabitants and is one
of the credit spots of Arizona.
