A Priest Spy.

A Bulgarian army officer now in
New York tells the story of priest
spy in a small Bulgarian town near
the Turkish border. 1t is in this re-
gion that many Macedonian bands Sc
cretly organize. Shortly after the
appointment of this priest to his par
ish, many arrests followed in Mace
donia. 1t was only through a curious
accident that suspicion finally rested
on the priest.
A young Macedonian refugee was
out wandering over the hills one day
when he finally lay down to rest. Be-
low ham was a road, and on one side
OF the road stood a wooden cross. TO
which all passers-by, according 10
custom. made the sign OF the Cross
The young exile was well hidden in
the bushes. Presently he observed
the parish priest approach and. as he
reached the cross. he slluted II, but
not as a Christian. He made the sign
Of the Mohammedan appeal 20 Allah.
The boy reported what he had seen
10 an insurRent leader.
The priest was called away from
his home one evening shortly after
by a ruse and his house entered by
Maoed0nianE. This was an act that

rection in that district First, two of
our leaders were captured, and one
band was surrounded as it was leav-
ing town one morning and almost an
initiated. Then caches of arms and
ammunition were discovered and cap
tured, and some of the most active
members of the local committee were
thrown into prison and tortured into
confessions.
Suspicion finally centered on a
young Servian. He had been out with
the bands several times and had dis
tinguished himself as a fighter. He
once attacked two bashi-bazouks sin
gle-handed and killed both. This deed
had made his comrades reluctant to
suspect him of treachery. But it fin
ally became impossible to deny that
he was always near when discoveries
were made and suspects arrested.

Macedonians then fired upon the de-
tail of soldiers and drove them back

Women as Spies.
The Turkish spy system includes
great number of women. The basis up
on which the Turkish police work is
that a beautiful woman may learn the
secrets of Allah himself AS a matter
of fact, their most useful information
comes from women.
A wealthy Albanian who was leader
of several rebellions against the
Turks, was one time, during period
of peace. presented With a beautiful
the Pasha of the province. The AL
bantam was immensely pleased and
made the woman his favorite wife,
which position she held for over
year.
Meanwhile, it became known among
the Albanian revolutionary leaders
that some of their most important Sc
crets were mysteriously reaching the
ears of the military authorities. They
appointed several of their number to
track down the source of the leakage
of information.
One evening one of the Albanian
spies observed a small Nubian boy
leaving the headquarters of the khai-
makam. He recognized the boy as the
attendant of the woman who had been
given as a present to the Instruction
airy leader. The spy reported his dis
covery and the Nubian boy was watch
ed. The spies caught him one even
ing going down to the town and
searched him, but without result.
Then, according to the Albanian
merchant in New York who tells this
story, they proceeded to torture the boy,
and learned that every time he was sent
to the office of the Mammalian, his fez
was taken away from him and return
ed after long intercal. The Albanians
Immediately examined the boys fez
and found letter in the lining. They
took this and let the boy go, threaten
ing him with a terrible death if he re-
vealed their identities.
The Albanians, not recognizing the
handwriting of the letter. at once sus-
pected their leader himself, not think
ing that the boy was the exclusive at
tendant of the leaders favorite wife
When they reached their headquarters
in the mountains ii was only to learn
that their leader had been arrested
and was in prison, while the favorite
wife had fed.
Such is one of the favorite methods
of spying employed, not only by
Pashas. but by the Sultan himself.

Trapped in IA Cave.
Zone night the local committee met
and sent him with a message. While
he was gone they discussed plans to

they were ready. The president then
informed the committee that in GER

The Security Mining and Develop. ment company, known as the Elkhart Mining company, has been reorganized under the name and style of the Ari- zona Bullion Mining company. It is said to be the intention of the com pany to sink the main shaft of the mine to depth of at least 1000 feet and thoroughly exploit the ground above that point. It is the belief of many mineralogists and geologists that the ores of the Chloride country below rim rock will run largely to gold. So far there has been a gradual in. crease in the gold in the ores of that country below water level and the as- sumption is that this increase will con. tinue until the permanent change in the character of the ore is reached.

In the federal court at San Francis. co, I. B. Blake has brought suit against Capt. De La Mar for the sum of more than five million dollars Some years ago Blake took an option on the Jim Crow group of mines at Lelamar, Ne. vada, and it is supposed that these op. tions were transferred to De La Mar, and it is out of this transaction that the present suit grew. Isaac E. Blake promoted and built the road from the main line of the Santa Fe at Blake to Manvel, Cal, and also built mill at Needles. The road was projected to tap the great lead camp of Good Springs, but the panic prevented the raising of money and the scheme fell through. Blake was also interested in the Keystone mine, in the Yellow Pine mining district, Lincoln county, Me- vada, and the National bank of Nee- dies, Cal. In the crash of 1893 he went to the wall and all his holdings passed into the hands of creditors. He was a hustler and had many friends among the moneyed class of the east. The outcome of the suit will be watched with interest by people of his acquaint. ance in this country.

A new oil process is being tested by mining men of Mineral Park. The treatment of ores by this new process is said to have been surprisingly sue, cessful, the metallic values in arsenous, antimonial and iron pyritic ores being saved to nearly ninety per cent. The oil used is specially prepared and it's use is exceedingly economical. It will be fully tested here and if it is found capable of handling the ores of all classes successfully it il more than probable that plants Ill be installed at various places in the county.

George Kislingbury, the noted min- ing expert, has been sued by William Baily for the sum of 25,O0Os. The com plaint alleges that, an agreement was entered into between the parties that if Kislingbury found the mine Baily would find the money. After this agreement Kislingbury went to Baily with the Gold Road mines and stated that the price of the properties was 250,OO0$. For his share Kislingbury was to have ten per cent. Later it was ascertained that the price paid for the mines was 225,O0O$ and that Kisling- bury received a commission on the sale of 25,O0OS. It is for this commission that the suit is brought. The suit is brought iD the federal courts at Los and promises to be warmly contested. .. 5n". ... ......

PRINCE STRIKES WITH CANE.
AssaiIant of Count Damsdorff Believed
TO Be Insane.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-The
reports of an attack upon Count
Lamsdorff, Minister Of Foreign Af-
fairs have their foundation in the per-
sonal assault committed on Monday
evening by Prince Dolgorouky, dis
appointed office seeker. The Prince is
an opponent of Count Lamsdorff's pol
icy and is said to have become insane
through brooding over his alleged
grievances.
The Prince met Count Lamsdorff in
the street on Monday evening, and
without warning struck him on the
head with a walking stick. In so do
ing he is said to have calmly announc-
ed that he chastised the Foreign Min
lister in the name of the whole Rus
sian people. Police agents rushed to
the scene and seized the Prince, who
Immediately handed them a card, say
ing it was a private affair. Neverthe-
less he was placed under arrest.
The Emperor is highly indignant
over the episode and has directed an
immediate medical examination of the
Prince in order that it may be legally
determined whether he is sane. If he
is pronounced insane Prince Dolgor-
ouky will be placed in an asylum. If
he is responsible for his actions he
will be punished.

painful impression has been pro-
duced by General Kuropatkin's in
sistence on the necessity of making
timely provision for a retreat to Har-
bin.
No confirmation has yet been re-
ceived of the reported heavy fight
ing near Port Arthur or with General
Kuropatkin's army, although the lat
ter Is not regarded as improbable.
Rumors persist that court influence
at St. Petersburg is being actively ex-
ercised to induce General Kuropat-
kin TO assume the offensive in an en-
deavor by a victory to retrieve the
Russian military reputation. The
Daily Telegraphs st. Petersburg cor

"A recent council of war decided that

this judgment, even going so far as to
authorize the dispatch of troops from

to save Port Arthur"

confirmed rumor has reached here from
Mukden that the Japanese battleship
Full is aground on a reef off the Mao
tao islands. between the Kwantung
and Shantung promontories, where she
is being guarded by torpedo boats.
The following dispatch from Viceroy
Alexieff to the Emperor, dated May 81,
has been received here:
Rear Admirals Wittsoeft and Orig
orovitch report that up to May 2S num-
erous Japanese mines had been discov-
cred and exploded in the roadstead OF
Port Arthur The Japanese evidently
have replaced the fire ships, which
they formerly used, by mines, sown by
merchant steamships in their service" &"
The Emperor has received the follow
ing dispatch from General Kuropatkin,
dated May 81:
"All is quiet in the direction of Feng-
wangcheng. Siuyen has not been oc-
cupied by Japanese detachments. Ine
Japanese were observed retiring from
the Sedsykho and Salitsipuo valleys,
in an easterly direction
"On May 80 two camps of Japanese
infantry and thirty dragons advanced
along the Takushan road toward Ona-
lassi for the purpose of turning the left
flank of our outposts. Our scouts dis
covered the movement and fighting en-
sued, in the course Of which one Cos
sack was wounded and one horse was
killed.
THE Japanese detachment which our
cavalry successfully engaged on May
80 is now stationed four versts from
Vagenfuchu, fortifying its position.
There has been no further Japanese
advance from Saimatza toward Feng-
chowling Pass on the Liaoyang road. F"
The War Office does not believe the
report from Toxic that a Japanese
division has embarked for Northern
Korea to check an alleged advance OF
Lieutenant General Linevitch's army.
A high military official points out that
Linevitch would have to march 300
miles over difficult roads and to assure
supplies for that distance before he
could get within striking distance of
the japanese army.
This authority admits that such a
task is impossible and not worth at
tempting, since it would imperil the
Japanese supplies in Manchuria, which
are coming by sea. The Japanese are
more likely to reinforce their armies
in Southern Manchuria, on the Lao
tung Peninsula, where it is believed
they are concentrating every available
man.
The admiralty attributes the failure
TO destroy the crippled cruiser Bogatyr
to the absence of Japanese warships
near Vladivostok

May "a, says that on good authority
General Kuropatkin then had 14O, 900
men ready to take the field
