Kev West, May 6—The Lafayette, a . transatlantic liner registering 3394 tons, . which left Corrana, Spain, April 23d . for Havana, was ‘captured just off Havana last evening by the U. S. gun. boat Annapolis, commanded. by Cant. J.J. Hunger, while trying to run the blockade after having been warned off. She had a large number of passengers and an extensive cargo that is possibly con raband of war. She belongs at St. . Nazaire, France, and is a fine vessel . 844 feet long, 44 feet of beam, 28 feet deep and was built in 1864. : t The capture was effected shortly before sundown. The fact that she left a Spanish port two days after the declaration of war on April 21 seems to warrant her being held. On the question of the cargo being contraband of war the officers are reticent. In addition to her teing a mail steamer she ‘also belongs tothe French naval rererve and carries so many guns and such‘a numerous crew that she can be converted into a cruiser on short notice. LATER.

Our California county maps are good; such United States Geological i Survey sheets as those already issued of the Jacksonville, Smartsville and Nevada City folios, and, last, this of Downieville, are of great value; but even these are not wholly safficient for the needs of the miners today. This matter has been taken up by more than one State Miners’ Convention; but so far nothing has come’of it. Where the United States Geological Survey is in the hands of a director who evidently desires to bring his work in touch with the wants of the people, and where the necessity of the work Suggested herein is conceded on ali sides, it would seem the Government is ‘supposed to deal only on general prin ciples, and that what is being done now in this State— . mapping the entire Sierra gold belt and publishing it in such convenient and valuable form—covers its duty therein, and that to do more would be to encroach upon the business of the prospector and the engineer, yet the idea is to aid such men, as well as the ordinary prospector and miner, so that all alike may be benefited.

The Nevada City Milidamen Revolt Against Budd's Unjust Discrimination. The voice of Company O of this city is for war. They would like to have Governor Jim Budd in a corner for ebout half and hour so they could give a . him a piece of their mina. The cause of their wrath is the rank injustice of, his course in keeping them at home and sending new companies to the front to do battle against Spain. The last straw that stirred them up to a white heat of indignation was when the San Francisco papers arriving here last evening announced that Company I of Grass Valley is likely to be called out soon, but mentioning never a word ojabout our own boys. Company I is about a year and a half old, while Company C is the oldest militia organiza{ion on the coast. The latter has been in existence 85 years, has the senior captain in the State, and is made up of the kind of men who: had rather fight than eat. . : “It’s all politics ana pull,” said one of the officers today, “and we’re getting tired of it.

The Nevada City Milidamen Revolt Against Budd's Unjust Discrimination. The voice of Company O of this city is for war. They would like to have Governor Jim Budd in a corner for ebout half and hour so they could give a . him a piece of their mina. The cause of their wrath is the rank injustice of, his course in keeping them at home and sending new companies to the front to do battle against Spain. The last straw that stirred them up to

a white heat of indignation was when the San Francisco papers arriving here last evening announced that Company I of Grass Valley is likely to be called out soon, but mentioning never a word ojabout our own boys. Company I is about a year and a half old, while Company C is the oldest militia organiza{ion on the coast. The latter has been in existence 85 years, has the senior captain in the State, and is made up of the kind of men who: had rather fight than eat. . : “It’s all politics ana pull,” said one of the officers today, “and we’re getting tired of it.
