SPAN|ARDS TORTURE CUBAAS
SHOCKING BARBARITIES IN CEN
TRIAL CUBA.
One Cuban Officer Blown From Can
mons Mouth and Another Tortured
Cuban Official Arrives.

Washington, July captain Nicho-
las Perez Stable aide-de-camp of the
secretary of war of Cuba, Colonel Font
Sterling, has arrived here, and was in
conference with Major General Miles
and the officers of his staff. Captain
Stable comes directly from the seat of
the Cuban government, where Presl-
dent Masso and his entire cabinet, eX-
cept the secretary Of state, are located.
The secretary of state, colonel more
node La Tore, has come on to Iampa,
where he is staying for a time with a
sick relative.
Captain Stable wears the gray duck
uniform similar to that worn by the
United States officers. Coming directly
from the Cuban secretary OF war, ne
brings much information as to the sit
uation throughout the island, and his
visit is toward securing further Coop
Grafton between the entire Cuban forces
and the United States troops.
Captain Stable says President Masso
and his cabinet are strongly located at
Ell Esperanza, which is highland. They
have temporary quarters, and have
maintained themselves successfully
AGAINST frequent attacks by Spanish
troops. Captain Stable reports Tor the
first time the details of not engage
ment which occurred recently. The
Spaniards numbered 1900. while the
Cubans defense was maintained by
orly 500. Notwithstanding this discrep-
ancy, the Cubans lost only AZ killed and
wounded. while the Spaniards lost 30
killed on the field, indicating that their
entire loss in killed and wounded was
much greater. The Spaniards captured
two Cuban officers, first and second
lieutenant
Captain Stable says these officers
were subjected to the most cruel and
inhunan indignities. One of them was
placed by the Spanish commander in
front OF a cannon, and, at given sig
nal, was blown to atoms. The Spanish
then called for volunteer
to "degollado" the remaining officer
This consists of thrusting a bayonet
through the neck of the prisoner from
ore side to the other, penetrating the
windpipe. A Spanish volunteer stepped
forward, and the Cuban officer was
thus subjected to the torture of a slow
death Captain Stable states also that
two small boys, not over Ii years, nom
cCmbatants, who were driving cattle,
were also killed by the Spaniards.
Except by these brutal atrocities the
Spanish raid on FL Esperanza was flu
tile, and the Spanish force finally re-
tired; leaving President Masso and his
ca binet still maintaining their seat of
Captain Stable was sent on his visit
to the war department by Senior Juna-
yea. 1t is probable that these confer
erces will result in fuller understand
ing as to the cooperation when the
American army begins to make its way
west to the central part of the island.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Lord Odo Russell's Diplomacy and
Disraeli's French.


In collections and Recollections, by
One Who Has Kept a Dairy" whose
author is suspected to be G. w. e. Rus

Lord John Russell, occurs this anec-
dote about Disraeli When the con-

in the summer of 1878, cur ambassador
in that city of stucco palaces was the
loved and lamented Lord Odo Russell,
afterward Lord Ampthill, born dlplo-
rnatist, if ever there was one, with
suavity and affectionateness OF manner
and a charm of voice which would have
enabled him, in homely phrase, to whis-
tie the bird off the oough- on the
evening before the formal opening Of
the congress, Lord Beaconsfield arrived
in all his plenipotentiary glory, and was
received with high honors at the Brit
ISL embassy. In the course of the even
ing one of his private secretaries came
to Lord Odo Russell and said: Lord
Odo. we are in a frightful mess, and
we can only turn to you to help us out
of it. The old chief has determined to
open the proceedings OF the congress In
French. He has written out the devils
own LONG speech in French, and learnt
it by heart, and is going to fire it off
at the congress tomorrow. We shall be
the laughing stock of Europe. He pro-
nounces 'epicier' as if it rhymed with
overseer. and all his pronunciation is
to match. 1t is all as much as our
places are worth to tell him so; can
you help us?"
Lord Odo listened with. amused good
humor to this tale of woe, and then re-
piled: 'It is a very delicate mission that
you ask me to undertake. but then /

CAMP FLOYD MINES.
Finishing Touches Being Given to
the Daisy Mill.

The Mercur Mercury, in it's weekly
roundup of mining news, says:
The old Surprise shaft, on the Golden
Gate ground, which has been aban-
doned for a number of years, will now
| become useful in the operations of the
big mine. A hoist has been put in the
old shaft house, and pipes connecting
it with the air compressor. laid A
force of men is at work timbering the
shaft, which is $50 feet deep AS soon
as the work of timbering is completed,
The shaft will be connected with the
workings in the mine.
The Daily mill has reached the stage
where finishing touches are in order
This work is necessarily, slow, but it
was hoped the trial run would be in
progress by July l. 1t will take a few
days longer, however. and no attempt
viii be made to start uD until after
the Fourth. The hoist is running all
all right and everything about the
mine is in condition to furnish all the
ore necessary
Charlie Charleton, who has been in
the east for some time, is back to Utah
again and reports that he found many
people in Chicago and other points who
are already interested in mining prop
erty in this district, and they were so
we'll satisfied with their investments
that it is highly probable considerable
money will be invested from the same
localities this season
Fred Redmond was in town Wednes-
day and reports matters at the White
Pine, above the Ophir Hill mine. as
working smoothlv. Over a carload of
high grade silver ore is sacked and
next week the COMPANY will make a
two-car shipment to the smelter.
Superintendent Charleton's arrival
will probably soon be followed by an
increase oc the force at work on the
Snowstorrn, it being the intention to
continue development work on the
property with a view to having it

THE OLD HICKORY.
Jim Kennedy, the Veteran, In From
Beaver Lake District.

Jim Kennedy, the veteran miner and
mining operator, is in from Beaver
Lake mining district, where, for the
past four or five months, he has been
in charge OF the development and oper-
alton Of the Old Hickory mine, a prop
erty that had quite a reputation as a
producer Of high grade copper ore in
the early days, and which bids fair to
surpass all former records in this line
under the able superintendency of Mr..
Kennedy. as he states that since taking
hold Of the proposition he has opened
up a splendid body Of mineral, from
seven to eight feet between walls,
which will carry average values of 9
per cent copper, while through the de-
post there Is a, zone of high grade
truck, the sorted ore for shipment run
ming 30 per cent copper, besides carry
ing good values in silver and gold.
Mr.. Kennedy has a force of nine men
at work in the operation of the mine,
end within the next two weeks expects
% be in the market with a shipment Of
rich stuff, TO be followed hereafter by
regular consignments.
According to Jim there is consid-
cradle activity in the camp at the pres
ent time, and a number of experts and
representatives of capital are making
I careful examination of the district,
tying up promising properties, among
he number being Ben Hampton
and p. 4. n. Franklin, who will return

TRAIN ROBBERS BIG HAUL.
Secured All the Cash On a Texas G.
Pacific Train.

st. Louis, July "A special from
Dallas, Tex, to the Post Dispatch says:
General Agent Thorn of the Texas &
Pacific railway today made the follow
ing statement about the train robbery
on his road near Stanton last night:
six robbers, all masked except the
leader, tagged our No. g. westbound
express, at 10 o'clock last night, ten
miles west of Stanton on the Staked
plains, between the Colorado and Pc
cos rivers. one of the most desolate
spots on the line.
THE robbers covered the engineer
and crew with Winchesters, cut the
express car loose, 70 CD the trainmen
to move it onto s.letrack and then
blew it up with dynamite. Nobody
was hurt, but the car was wrecked,
the sides and bottom being blown out.
The robbers then blew up the through

damaging it's contents. What money
was in the safe they took. Mounting

Word was received from Lion Hill
yesterday that at the Columbia the day
before, the mer at work in the winze
from the drift from the Rosa shaft
had taken out and ~ ked for ship
ment 40 sacks of high grade mineral,
and that arrangements are being made
for a consignment of hot stuff from this
property at an early day, and The Her
AIDS informant also stated that the
body OF ore in which the men are
working is gaining in size, the iadica-
items being that it will widen out into
a large pipe of high grade ore very
similar in character to those disclosed
in the workings of the Chloride Point,
the near neighbor of the Columbia,
which is believed to be continuous
ledge or deposit between the two prop
critics, the showing in the Rosa shaft
being only 1,200 feet from the bodies
of mineral exposed in the Chloride
Point, while it is believed that the Co
lumbus shaft, which is on a line be-
tween the two workings, and which is
down a depth of 100 feet, will break
into the Chloride Point ore zone,
within 80 or 80 feet more, as the indi-
cations are now very favorable.
Quite a force is now employed in the
development of the Columbia, a portion
Of which is engaged in taking out pay
GRE in the Rosa workings, and in push
ing development work in this direction,
while at the same time the Columbus
shaft which is we'll timbered, is being
pushed downward as rapidly as pos
Sible, and it is the intention of the
company to make a great showing in
the property before this time and the
first OF the year, when it is believed the
mine viii take rank as a proposition
that will justify the erection of a mill
for the treatment of low grade ores,
while in the meantime frequent con-
signments of good shipping mineral
viii find their way to the Salt Lake
market.
The 8Iercur Mercury, in speaking Of
the Columbia, says:
At the Columbia everything is look
doing his best to develop q. mine that
the company has the right man to find
the ore in that locality, will be readily
admitted, for Mr.. Clark has worked on
the hill almost from bOyhood. The
ground is being opened up at two diff
ferent points. On the Columbia claim
a shaft is being sunk, the depth reach
ed is $50 feet, and has recently been
timbered in a. substantial manner. In
the Rosa the drift at the bottom of
the 60-foot shaft has been driven a
distance OF 65 feet on the vein, which
is steadily increasing in size. The ore
averages 80 ounces silver and 80 per
cent lead. About ten tons of this high
grade ore are on the dump, and a ship
ment viii be made about July 10.

DEFICIENCY BILL CONFERENCE.
House Will Probably Agree to Pacific
Railroad Amendment.

Washington, July 2.-The rconferees
on the general deficiency bill today
reached an agreement on everything
except the Pacific railroad amendment.
Chairman Cannon has promised vote
in the house ON this matter before any
agreement was made. The principal
items of amendment which remain in
the bill are:
The Canadian commission; relating
to the compensation of gaugers of spir
its; relating to the government of SOL
diers' homes; to pay forest inspectors
100000; payment of board of townsite
entries in Oklahoma.
All senate amendments for the war
and navy are retained in the BILL also
all certified claims. The senate amend
ment appropriating s145,000 for the pur-
chase of land adjacent to and dredging
the entrance of Pearl Rarbor was elm
mated. The impression is that the Pa
cific railroad amendment will be agreed
to in the house, which. with the adop-
ton of the conference report, would
pass the bill. ~

LAST WEEK.
Government Funds From Bond Sub

week.
In the last 90 days the loan expansion
has been s25. 900 900 and the total is now
about the same amount Under the ex-
! traordinary high point attained February
8. Deposits, however, surpaSs all previous
records by s12, 600 600. and in view of the
special operations of the treasury will
probably attain within the next month
total far above anything yet recorded.
The current statement is confusing and
does not balance, but the operations
which are bringing about the changes are
well defined. and will continue to show
for some weeks to come.
The important point is that surplus
reserve seems to have attained its higher
average. As high as treasury expenses
are, in view of the war. they will hardly
equal the receipt on boad subscription ac-
count and while a large part of the extra
money will go into specially designated
banks, the operation will tie up more
or less money. In the meantime there
is no cessation of the demand for funds
on the part of mercantile and crop Dor
rowerS here and elsewhere and these re-
quirements will have to be met After
July IA the allotments of the large bids
will call into question d great deal of
money now lying idle.
All these circumstances will have
tendency to keep money employed and
while no one looks for anything ap-
preaching a stringency. money will not be

that the country possesses something
like SIZE. 900, 600 of specie and other cur
