FLEETS EVENLY BALANCED.

London. April 1s.--Sir Charles Dixie Is
quoted in an interview on the Spanish
American crisis as expressing the opin-
lon that the two opposing fleets are about
evenly balanced. adding: Therefore,

over; II Spain wins II will be the begin
ming OF q long struggle which must end
In the crushing defeat Of Spain"
Continuing. Sir Charles ridiculed the
idea of the Spaniards shelling cities,
pointing out that It would be OF no ad-
vantage to Spain for her to do SO. He
then expressed the opinion that both
sides should be allowed access to British
coaling stations, allowing "a hours to
elapse between the departure Of one ma :
tion's ships and the arrival Of their
enemy to coal. He also said that he
anticipated considerable trouble from

that the United States was quite right
In interfering in Cuba. adding AL

Piute Warriors Dance On a Bed of
Live Goals.
NJ. Shores Meigs, in San Francisco
Chronicle: So much has been written
of late years about the various dances
OF different Indian tribes, that it recalls
to the writer a curious incident relative
to this custom. Some time in the fall
of 1864 a party of miners from small
town in Nevada started northward, to
establish themselves in some newly dis
covered mines in southern Idaho. Ow-
ing to the general insecurity of the
times, we Travelled after the usual i'm
migrant fashion, hating wherever night
overlook US. In the course of our jour-
ney we encamped one night on Queens
river, near the boundary line of Ne
vada and Idaho, then the domain of
the Piutes. At that time they were
generally regarded as a half-friendly

fear.
The weather had grown bitterly cold,
and on this particular evening we had
built q rousing fire, the rudy blaze of
which streamed through the dusk OF
evening, lighting up that naked region
until orr situation was visible from
every point.
Evidently the flame of our encamp-
hlent drew attention, as soon after dark
three Piutes appeared in camp. The
CHEF, leaving his followers in the back
ground, drew near our fire and offered
us the usual salutation of Heap hun
cry" He was given cold biscuits, after
which he proceeded to make himself
comfortable.
AS he stood warming himself we were

tiVe-saving the customary clout and a
blanket of fur skins on his shoulders,
ne was destitute of clothing.
Shortly before turning in for the
night, some of the boys began begging
him to give us the war dance. and after
some time. tired perhaps of their i'm
portunities, or seeming possible grub,
he thought better to yield.
Without giving a sign of his inten
tions, to our establishment he leaped
into the blazing bed of Goals, and, cast
ing his blanket from him. began dane
ing in the most vigorous manner, whirl-
ing, leaping, bounding high in air,
again circling with dizzy speed, fling
ing his arms wildly about him, and all
the while uttering a succession of such
whoops ard yelis that fairly rang in
our ears for hours The live Goals
hoped and flew. but he kept it up,
never quitting his hot bed for fully
three minutes; then, ceasing, he resum-
ed his stOiid demeanor and his blanket,
and for the remainder of the night re-
posed by the fire Il was startling
feat, entirely out of the ordinary by
way Of exhibition. but just what man.

fire dance, ghost dance or whether It
had any signification in savage life, /
