WASHINGTON, J une 1.—The feeling is that while war may be prolonged. for some time, the Spaniards are already as good as defeated. With the Manila fleet annihilated, Cuba surrounded and Cervera in a miserable plight, Spain has nothing left but her reserve fleet and that is not as hoa de as has veen represented. “TIMBLY SUGGESTIONS, Hints For the Red Cross Society and the Volunteer Soldiers. A private letter received from San Francisco by a lady in this city contains some timely suggestions in regard to the work that is most necessary to be performed by the Red Cross societies. The writer says: “All day the ladies of the hotel. have been sewing on bags and bandages for the soldiers. There are thonsands of -bandages to be made, and all will not be done in time if they are left for one city. It would be a fine thing when g -. the Nevada City and Grass Valley companies are called if they came already supplied. On account of dangerous . diseases of the bowels and other troubles General Merritt says each soldier must have two flannel -bandages; and let them know before coming to San Francisco that it is cold, very cold, out in those tents and men are suffering for want of warm clothing. Bring something warm to wear while here. They do not want to freeze on the way each mother or sister would send her son or brother off with two flannel bandages—good, strong gray flannel— half a dozen’ safety pins, and a bottle of strong eucalyptus oil (for vermin) with his other necessities it would be a great help to the Red Cross Society and a‘comfort to the soldiers. I'll send you a pattern of bandage and sample of flannel-used by us, to give you an idea of what we are doing “TI do not believe people e the city know how exciting this war business has become. It is growing awfully serious. When I think of those three black-painted ships we saw sail out through the Golden Gate I cannot keep the tears back. As there are no accommodations—no places for bathing, etce.—the soldiers at the Presidio’ and Bay District are already troubled with vermin. I hope all of our Nevada county boys may go as well prepared as they can and run no risk of going off without the necessaries above men-, tioned.” MINING DECISIONS. Gases Decided This Week. The Supreme Court of the United States on yesterday affirmed the judgment of the U. & Circuit Court and the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of A. Walrath vs. the Cbumpion Mining Company. . ; In the case of the Carson City Gold and Silver Mining Company vs. the North Star Mining Company, the same court denied the writ of certiorari applied for by the petitioner, thus practically settling the case in favor of the. . North Star Company. In that of Walrath against the Champion the question of an end line between the Champion and Providence mines was involved, and the Champion won in all three courts. The North Star case was an action to recover $825,000 damages for a trespass alleged to have been committed by the North Star: Company in following its ledges under the Irish-American ground. In this case the courts hold that the North Star Company had followed the ledge within end lines drawn through the apex of the croppings in the North Star ground and had committed no trespass. The Supreme Coart of this State has just affirmed the decision of the Supérior Court of Nevada county in the case of the Scadden Plat Gold Mining Company vs. Elizabeth Scadden, administratrix et al. This was an. action. involving the title and right to possession of the Scadden Flat quartz mine situated near Boston Ravine. This decision confirms the title of the Scadden Flat —_ Mining Company to the property. » a Will Use His Influence.
