Key West, April 26, 1:S0 p. m.-The

morning with the richest prize OF the
war thus far. The captive was the
Panama, Captain Quevedo, big trans

HOW IT WAS DONE.
The Mangrove, under Lieutenant
Commander William H. Everett, who
came down from the photographic Of
flee a few weeks ago to take her, was
cruising along the Cuban coast, navi-
gated by Ensign Palmer, shortly before
o'clock last evening, about 20 miles
north of Havana. At 5:45 p. m. she
sighted the Panama. The only other
ship of the fleet in sight was the bat

Lieutenant Commander Everett scented
a prize and scudded toward the stran-
ger. When the latter came within
range. shot from the Mangrove's 12-
FOUNDER was sent across her bows but
the Spaniard ignored the challenge and
went on. Another shot followed with
out result, but the Mangrove was
drawing nearer the strangely who
calmly proceeded on her course, appar-

SPANISH CAME TO.
When the third shot was fired the
MangrOve was within a hundred yards
of the Panama, and Lieutenant Com
mander Everett shouted to the deck
officer that if she did not surrender he
would sink her. The Mangrove's Off

Lieutenant Commander Everett re-

on board the captive. They then pro-
ceeded to the flagship, where a formal
report was made and Rear Admiral
Sampson ordered Lieutenant Com
Everett to convoy the prize to

Especial to The Herald.)

Vernal, Utah, April 26.-There is some
uneasiness felt here over the disposition
shown by the Indians since the troops left
Fort Duchesne, and it is possible that be-
fore the troops arrive that have been or
dered here to take their place, there may
be trouble. The Indians have not become
reconciled TO tha settlement of the af-
fair over on Snake river, in Colorado.
last fall, and they have manifested a dis
position since the evacuation of. the post
to take matters up and settle them In
their own way. The opening of the IN
compahgre reservation and the efforts
that are being made to open the Uintah
are causing no end of dissatisfaction and
discomfort, which are accentuatsd by the
absence of any force of troops.
A number of the more turbulent mem
bers of the tribe have been outSpoken
of late and express an intention to play
even with the people oBer the state line.
Threats have also been made against
parties who are working along White
river on the gilsonite beds to the effect
that they would be forced away. 1t is
reported that number have declared
that they would cut the ears off any white
man found on the lower White river
country.
LEFT FOR COLORADO.
Indian Agent Captain Cornish tele-
phoned to Vernal last evening that the
Indians were restless and uneasy and that
several had left with the express inten-
ton of going over into Colorado. He re-
Quested that a sharp lookout De kept, as
the Indians might mean mischief, and in
the absence of any troops he would be
powerless to hold them in check.
Parties were at once armed and sent
out to scour the country. Sheriff Preece
with one deputy started for White river
with a supply of guns and ammunition
for the whites scattered along White
river in the vicinity of the asphalt beds.
The troops that were ordered to Du-
chssne from New Mexico were reported
at Price last night. rumor has been
circulated here since yesterday that they
have been ordered to the front, but the
troeth of this has not been verified. If
this be the case, however, it is not i'm
probable that IIintah county will be in
terested in holuIng the Indians in check
while Uncle Sam deals oua justice to
Spain. 1t is feared that if Gle redskins
commit any overt act across the. line
that the affair will terminate In some
thing serious, as the Colorado people are
known TO have no love for them, and the
settlement of the Snake river tragedy OF
last fall, may possibly result IN the set
tlement of the Indian problem, as far as
the UteS are concerned.
Indians reported this afternoon that
small band was seen crossing the north
ern edge of the valley a Few days ago
headed east. Agent Cornish this after
noon notified the department of the Colo

HER CARGO.

9 The Panama carries a valuable cargo
of general merchandise, including a
large quantity of corn Much of it was
meant to provision the Spaniards in
Cuba and the cargo, with the ship
itself, undoubtedly makes the richest
prize thus far taken. Under the
regulations, however, the battleship
Indiana will share in the prize money,
as she was in sight when the capture
was made.
This makes five steamers thus far
CAPTURED in addition to a number of
schooners and small craft. The entire
fleet have been on the lookout for the
Panama for several days, as she was
due at Havana yesterday or today

WATER STORAGE.

Readers of The Republican will find much of interest in the following Cairo dispatch to the Boston Traveller relative to water storage in Egypt. The Egyptian government appreciates the necessity of storing the flood waters of the Nile and the work now project ed will be of inestimable benefit to the country. In reading this interest ing description residents of the Salt River valley can form an accurate idea of the good that would result to this region through the construction of one or more of the storage dams already projected. With system such as that which the Nile valley is to have the Salt River valley would be the most attractive place for homes on the American continent:
 Cairo, Feb. 20.-The khedive in council has approved contract just concluded with Messrs. John Aird & Go. for the construction of the long talked-of Nile reservoirs. The work, which consists of a dam across the Nile at Assuan and another at Assiut, is to be completed in five years, and the contractors accept paymsnt by an nual installments of $500, ,000, extend ing over thirty years, and beginning on the completion of the dams. The great dam forming the reservoir at As suan will be constructed upon the
 granite reefs of the cataract, and will be composed entirely of granite ashlar
 solid in section and pierced with sui fcient openings to permit the passage of the Nile in flood, with 8 very mod crate heading-up. In the autumn months, after the silt-laden water has passed off, the sluice gates will gradu- ally be closed until the reservoir is full, which, in an ordinary year, will | be in January or February. From
 April to the end of August, when the river runs low and the demand for water for the sugar, cotton and rice | crops is at the highest, the gates will gradually be opened, and the supply in the river will be supplemented by
 the water stored in the reservoir. By
 the time the reservoir is emptied. the
 new flood water will have arrived Thus no break will ocur in the fri gation system. The dam will be some seventy-six feet above the river bed

SAYINGS OF GEORGE ELIOT.

In every parting there is an image of death.
 I desire no future that will break the ties of the past.
 Veracity is a plant of paradise, and the seeds have never flourished 1 cyond the walls.
 I've never any pity for conceited peo- pie, because I think they carry their comfort about with them.
 When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.
 The greatest of painters only once painted mysteriously divine child; he couldn't have told how he did it and we can't tell why we feel it to be divine.
 The golden moments in the stream of life rush past US, and. we see nothing but sands; the. angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.
 Errors look so very ugly in persons of small means-one feels they are talk ing quite a liberty in going astray; whereas people of fortune may natural Y indulge in a few de,inquencies.
Arizona republican., 1898-03-18

The Republican must apologize to its readers for devoting so much atten- tiOn of late to the Gazette It is inev- 1table that controversy with a paper that is deaf to argument and keen to misrepresent can be acceptable only to those who delight in personalities The Republican does not believe in becomes necessary to fight fire with fire. The Gazette, as we'll as other popocratic papers of this territory, has frequently gone out of it's way to inn pugn the motives of The Republican, with the sole idea of making a little political capital. There is to be mu- nicipal election in a few weeks, and next fall a congressional delegate is to be elected. In the absence Of an issue the Gazette has now undertaken with true dema gogical zeal to turn public sentiment in the direc- tion of its selfish ends. The Republi- can has found it necessary several times in the last two years to take its esteemed contemporary over its knee and administer a sound spanking Tn this particular case the culprit has displayed much more "ornery" spirit than usual, and this accounts for our prolonging the unpleasant episode The Gazette has demonstrated it's in ability to be decent for any length of time, and undoubtedly we shall be obliged to repeat the dose from time to time, but we promise that the jot shall be done with as little injury to the feelings of our clientele as pos sible.
