Show HONOR OF OCR FLAG. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GUARDED FROM INSULT. Some War Preparations That Followed. Cat.es Sot Wholly Unlike That of the Maine John Hull Haa Invariably Been the Chief Offender. There are a large number of precedents which might aid in shaping action in the Maine case when the facts are fuliy established. While none of the cases show the fearful loss of life caused by the Maine explosion, yet they include many instances in which the United States had adopted energetic measures to redress the killing of American citizens in foreign countries. In a genet al way these methods of redress have included demands for indemnity, proclamations excluding war ships of the offending nation from the Unite.. States harbors, diswithplay of force, drawal of the minister, reprisal and blockade. Some of these steps border closely on war, although they are regarded as movements just preliminary to actual hostilities and as amounting to a threat that force will follow if reparation is not made. The case of the Water Witch is considered to be the most nearly analogous to that of the Maine, should It be established that the Maine disaster was not the result of accident. The Water Witch was a United States ship engaged in 1855 in surveying the entrance to one of the rivers of ParaWithout warning, and by orguay. ders of President Lopez, of Paraguay, a force of troops opened fire on the Water Witch, killing one man at the helm and wounding others. Intense feeling was aroused in the United States when the facts became known. mode t.f A VERITABLE FOOLS PAR ADI9S Monte Carlo and the Great Profit ot MIXING NOTES.

(Cruising in Cuban Waters.) He also ships from American ports. caused energetic protests and demands to be presented at London. The British authorities promptly disavowed the action, recalled the admiral under whom the outrage had been perpetrated, and without request tendered an indemnity sufficient to support the wives and families of those who had been killed and wounded. In a later case the American ship Prometheus was fired on in the harbor The ship had declined of Greytown. to pay excessive port charges imposed by the king of the Mosquito territory, then controlling the territory under a British protectorate. The king called the Casino Company. We hear at intervals of the man who broke the bank of Monte Carlo, and more frequently of unfortun&tts whom that institution has broken. Everybody Is familiar v. ith the fairy-lik- e aspect of the place, through innumerable descriptions, views or stage pictures. And the realities are tangible enough, when we read the periodica! reports of the toy principalitys business or the pamphlet lately published by the Casino company relative to its dealings with the prince of Monaco. The prince lives upon the annual subsidy he receives from the gaming establishment, and his principality a tract of le3 than ten square miles with about the population of a small American town is maintained from the same source. In other words, the gambling spirit of polite Europe is here concentrated, organized, administered and run with handsome profits by the joint stock company that leases Monte Carlo and its concessions. What these profits amount to may be gathered from some of the figures of the statement of expenses given In the shareholders pamphlet. Last seasons expenditure of the principality apart from the maintenance of the Casino, which was $1,170,000 amounted to Of the latter sum the prince $650,000. received $250,000; the courts, police, etc., absorbed $100,000; clergy and schools, $45,000; charities, $30,000; prizes for sports, $55,000, and the Notwithand losses, $10,000. standing these expenditures $2,880,000 was paid out in dividends on shares. Summing up, therefore, we find a total revenue of $7,700,000, representing the amount left at Monte Carlo by the fools of the world for a seasons pleasure. A large portion of the balance of the Casino companys expenditure not accounted for in the above items is action. The Chesapeake was proceeding to sea when she was hailed by the commander of the Leopard with a demand that British deserters said to be in the hold of the Chesapeake be surrendered. The American commander refused to comply, whereupon the Leopard first fired a shot acrcs3 the bow of the Chesapeake and followed this with two broadsides. The American commander was severely wounded, three sailors were killed outright, and many were wounded. Being unprepared for action, it being a time for peace, the American commander hauled down his colors and surrendered. It Was a British Outrage. Tremendous excitement prevailed in the United States over this outrage. President Madison sreedily issued a proclamation excluding all British war post-offic- e Connection has been made on the vein by a winz in the Valeo, Park City, and there is a splendid showing of good ore. It is expected shipments of high grade ore will soon be made.

Jesse Grant has returned to California after having made an examination of asphaltic lime near Ivyune in southern Utah. No deal was closed, but it is probable there will be. Development of the deposits is being pushed. The Charley Ross mine at Deer Lodge has been closed down owing to differences of those who were operating it. The property is looking well and is considered quite promising. Arrangements are now being made to settle the difficulty. According to the Challis, Idaho, Messenger, the big copper mines at Cliff, and smelter at Houston, will be put in active operation soon, and it is also said tliatW. A. Clark, the great mining man of Butte and Arizona, has purchased this property.

Work will now be confined to pushing the lower tunnel which bears a vein of free millore. ing shipping A letter received from Tom Lloyd, late coal mine inspector of Utah, who is now in Klondyke, says a coal deposit has been discovered about fifty miles from Dawson and arrangements have been made to work it. The discovery is important as wood is worth $20 a cord. There is no food famine as has been anticipated. Foreign nations are responding to the invitations sent by the International Mining congress asking the appointment of delegates. So far, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Belgium, Guatemala aud Mexico have acknowledged the receipt of the invitation sent the ministers and ambassadors in Washington. Word comes from the Johannesburg, on the west shore of Utah Lake, that in the drift being driven on the foot-waof the vein from the bottom of the shaft, the face of the workings has exposed 39 inches of ore which carries fair values in gold, and that as work progresses the chute is grovving larger, while the metallic values are increasing. At San Francisco's late Stock Exchange quotations the shares in the entire list of mines on the Comstock lode, Virginia City, could have been purchased for about $1,000,000, a less sum than the cost of the pumping plant at the Union Consolidated shaft or several others of equal capacity now lying idle along the lode, not to mention the expensive steam hoist plants with which most of the mines in operation are equipped. The demand for manganese ore for steel work is rapidly increasing, and Colorado mining companies are making daily shipments of manganiferous ores to the Illinois and other large steel works. Manganese is also used extensively to neutralize the green color of glass. In England there are 30 patents involving the use of manganiferous ores in iron and steel. Salts of manganese are used as tonics in nervous diseases and its uses are increasing so that a few years ago what was comparatively worthless is now valuable. Nevada has some deposits, and prospecting for manganese is being done in ll 75-fo- ot THE THIRTEEN INCH GUN ON THE BATTLESHIP INDIANAS AFTER TURRET. The President reported the facts to Congress, and in his message asked authority to make a demonstration re-of force which would insure suitable dress. In response Congress authorized him to use such force as is necessary to secure ample reparation. Accordingly an armed fleet was hastily assembled reon a scale which was regarded as The expedimarkable for those days. e tion included nineteen ships, twenty-fivfive thousand heavy guns and two Achundred sailors and marines. were civilian fleet this companying plenipotentiaries prepared to present the demands of this government and enforce them by calling on the fleet.

When the facts tion were reported to Congress, the President said that the dispatch of this formidable naval fleet had had a saluthe world, tary influence throughout nations that convinced foreign had and the United States would protect the lives of its citizens with all the force at its command. The case of the firing on the United States ship Chesapeake by the British ship Leopard is another case affording a precedent as to the governments the British warship Express to sustain his demands, and the Express promptly sent a broadside into the No one was killed, but Prometheus. the United States made a prompt demand for reparation.

Thii means, as the Monte Carlo philanthropists frankly explain in their pamphlet, that it is absolutely necessary to expend large sums in securing the good will of the continental press. Some of the alluring but Imaginative tales of vast winnings and bank breakings may be traced to this source. It is also a fact that some of the stories of suicides at Monte Carlo are the inventions of envious journals that do not come in for a share of the spoils. Gave Her a Good Time.
