. WHITE DEVIL Of VERDE y
A NEW NOVEL OF ABSORBING
INTEREST.
Takes Modern Day Conditions as They
Actually Exist and Develops Out of
Them a Strong Story.

Bret Harte, with his Luck of Roar
ing Camp" and other stories of thirty
wears ago, created in literature what
might be called mining atmos-
phere." He threw the spell of his
genius over that craze for gold which
developed into an empire the western
half of the United States, and Great
ed, for all time perhaps, the ideal of
a mining camp, and the ideal gold
prospector. He threw the glamor OF
romance over the men among whom,
as Eugene Field puts it. 'You never
| asked man what his name was in
the states" Other writer's followed
in his footsteps with greater or less
ability, until his characters and the
conditions he suggested became con-
ventionalized Seeking for originality
or novelty. other writer's have with
| more or less success carried his con-
ventionalized characters into the
rough and tumultuous life of other
sections than the great Sierra Neva-
da region, where Harte found the ORR
ginal and idealized him. and into that
equally rough and reckness struggle
for wealth, cattle raising on the great
ranges of the west and southwest.
But times change and we change
with them. Other rich mining
STRIKES" have been made since Bret
Harte wrote, and other scenes of ex-
citement have been enacted in which
the characters were as wide-gathered
as reckless and as unrestrained as
were those of Roaring Camp. But
| whoever has been in new mining
camp of late years expecting to find
any of Bret Harte's characters or con.
ditions has been disappointed. Condi
tons have changed and his characters
don't eNist-if ever they did.
Lucie France Pierce, in The White
Devil of Verde" which is just from
! the press of Dillingham;, New York
has seized conditions as they exist
now in Arizona. where mining camp.

ity, as distances are gagged there
and with perception as true as Bret
Harte's, to see the real motive and

story of intense and absorbing inter

from the conventional treatment OF
mining camp and cowboy theme and
I given novel that is fresh, clear cut
and attractive.
1t is love story, but it is a virile
strong, natural one. The incidents
grow as naturally out of present day

actions of every day life about Us
grow out of the conditions i'm which

Washington, May 13.-Sad news came
to the navy department on Thursday
morning from the blockading fleet on
the Cuban coast, telling of the death in
action of five American sailors, the first

the following named men were killed on the
torpedo boat Winslow:
Worth Bagley, ensign, u. S. NJ; John

"(SigneO REMY."
1t is known that the American boats
made furious havoc with Cardenas harbor
and town. The captain of the Hudson said:
Il know we destroyed a large part or
their town near the wharves, burned one
of their gunboats, and think destroyed
two of her torpedo destroyers. We were in
vortex of shot, shell and smoke, and
could not tell accurately: but we saw one
of their boats in fire and sinking soon
after the action began. Then a large
building near the wharf, I think the bar
racks, took fire, and many other buildings
were soon burning. The Spanish had

of their batteries they would move them.
think their guns were field pieces. Our
large boats could not get into the harbor to
help us on account of the shallow water"

Sagnsta Defends His Policy.

Madrid, May ~. In the chamber
Wednesday night Senior Sagasta replied
to Senior Salmeron's attack on the pres
ent regime, retorting that the state of
anarchy which existed in Spain during
the short-lived republican regime under
Salmeron made Spain the laughing
stock of the world. The premier de-
Tended the policy of the government in
doing its utmost to avoid war while
the Yankees were playing foul game"
He repeated his appeal for union, add
ing that whoever sowed discord was not
a patriot. He concluded his speech by
declaring that the government would
prosecute the war.

Admiral Bermejo, minister of marine,
and Count Xiquena, minister of pub
lie works, are also said to have resigned.
The retiring ministers offered various
excuses, such as illness and WEAKNESS,
for their withdrawal. Senior Sagasta
begged them to remain until the in
demnity bill had been passed, but at
Thursday nights cabinet council the
designations became definite. II turns
out that Admiral Bermejo, on learn

Sagasta that he must resign, owing to
the delicacy of his position, though he
felth that he was not responsible for the

IOWA STATE NEWS.
Unconstitutional.

The transportation section of the
Iowa prohibition law has been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court
of the United States. This section
made it crime to transport liquors
through the state. This was intended
to prevent the hauling of liquors in
wagons from one town to another, and
the railroads from transporting it from
one point in the state to another, or
from outside OF. the state. The rail-
roads have paid no attention to it what
ever, believing that the supreme court
would decide against the state and
claiming protection under the inter-
state commerce law. Their trust was
sure, for the decision was on the basis
that the Iowa law was interference with
the interstate commerce law.
