There was an almost unbroken succession of conferences between otiicers and ofiieiaU of various degrees, and throughout both these branches of the war establishment the greatest activity was exhibited, Secretary Long before 10 o'clock had been obliged to retire to his private office and deny himself to all callers, in order to hold a conference. Senator Lodge was present, as well as ( hairman Hale of the senate naval Chairman iloutelle of committee; the house naval committee; Captain Bradford, chief of the equipand ment bureau; Captain Assistant See retry Iloosevelt; Chief Constructor llilchborn and Admiral Matthewes, chief of the bureau yards and docks, were also called to the conference by the secretary, to deal with special phases of the question under consideration. The conference hail to do with preparations for putting the navy at the highest state of ellic.iency. Secretary Long found time during the progress of the conference to talk a moment with Mr. Lane, who has submitted to the department proposals for the sale of certain warships now building in F.urope at private shipyards.

The first intimation of these steps came in a brief and explicit cablegram from Madrid. Prior to its receipt however, the authorities here had been fully conversant with the facts, although no intimation had been allowed to get to the public on either subject.

Leaders in congress all uphold the president. Senator Pavis said: "It is a circumstance which. added to the present, strained Conditions, makes things more vexatious. I approve the president's action iu every particular." senator IVttigrew said: "I certainly approve the president's course in the matter, I should judge the request to recall our consul general is somewhat nnsuual, and under other circumstances would be complied with, but the conditions precedent to this case take it out of the usual rule and justified the president's action. I think that, in view of the fact that it is conceded the Maine w as blown up, the president would be justified in sending battleships loaded with combustibles as well as food and filled with armed men. It seems to me we cannot accept any settlement short of the independence of Cuba." Senator Cullom said: "I regard the course pursued by the president in answer to the Spanish government as MINIXIJ NOTES. Another shipment of high grade ore from Chloride Poiut was made the first of the w eek. In a short time work will, be resumed on the shaft of the Victoria claim at Mammoth.

The average output of the Grand Central at Mammoth is now thirty-fivtons per day, divided between silver, lead and copper and gold ores.
