'AVoung Brook #Bound Over
For Trial in the Supe-
rior Court.
Captured yesterday by Jeweler Austin of
Wall Street.
Deputy sheriif Kemper of Westport,
came to this city last evening and took
charge of the young man who, as stated
in these columns yesterday, was appre-
hended by Jeweler Austin on suspicion
\of being a. thief.
The fellow attempted. to dispose Of
the watch, a gold one, to Austin at the
price of old gold. The watch was re-
cognized by Austin who became sus-
' picious that all was not right, hence
the arrest.
The fellow told conflicting stories as
to how he came in possession of the
watch. It was later learned that it
belonged to a party 1n Westport and
had been left at Courtner’s jewelry
store in that place for repairs.
The fellow went into the store and
called for the watch claiming that he
had been sent for it by the owner.
Thinking nothing wrong, } Courtner
gave it to him.
Two diamond rings and quite a sum
of money was found in his possession
when arrested.
He was confronted with Courtner
but denied having ever seen him. The
latter, however, positively identified
him. .
He gave his name as Weiss and his
home Brooklyn, ‘but later on gave sev-
' eral other names andfladdresses as
belonging to him, and on being asked
as to how he had so many aliases said
that some of them were his stage
names.
He was given a hearing before J us-
tice Smith, of Westport, who placed
him under $300 bonds for-trial before
the Superior court.
His description tallies with that of a
party. arrested by Chief Vollmer- about
a year ago at South Norwalk, Who was
,attemptingto sell a .3150'g01d9W9i39hI; .
which it was found had been Itstolcn'

trade on N orwalk merchants.

' MIRRORS FOR SEARCHLIGHTS.
slvo Torpedo Baht,
The strength of the Spanish army in
torpedo boats makes it necessary that
all United States vessels and IOrts
shall be provided with searchlights,
and it is found that it is no easy mat-
ter to purchase a. sufficient number of
searchlights in an emergency. A large
number of the finest searchlight mir-
quate supply of them cannot be had.
Having mirrors the electric companies
could turn out the lightsin a brief
time.
The mirror is an essential part of the
light, and its manufacture is a. dell—
cate operation which needs care and
time to finish it successfully. It is not
an ordinary reuector. which may be
cast and molded, but has ’to be ground
accurately and highly polished. It is
really a. concave lens, backed by silyerI.
and hardénéd vulcanite. Machines for
grinding the reflectors have been
made which facilitate the work, but
it requires about a. week to make a.

Natural. Gas at Waldron.
Natural gas has been discovered in
England. The discovery was made at
Waldron, in Sussex-County, and like
the first in America was accidental.
Charles Dawson, the geologist,
boring for water. When the lower
strata had been bored to a depth Of 377
feet work was stopped, a strong smell
of gas having been noticed. A light
was applied to the top of the, long _tube
of the bore, and a flame immediately
sprang up to the height of fifteen or
sixteen feet. It burned with great fury
until it wasput'ou‘t by means of damp
cloths being thrown over the top of the
tube. An iron cap has been fitted to
the top of the‘tube, with a vent allow-
ing an escape of‘gas "to take Dlace con-
tinuously. This cap and vent have now
been fixed for flft ecu months, and the
gas can be lit at any time, and shows
no signs of diminution. There appears
at present to be an ample supply for

plant were erected, and the supply, as
far as can be judged, seems to be pretty

MADRID BEING DECEIVED.
The Spaniards Think Ccrvera and Hit
, Squadron Escaped.
M9 drid, July 6. —The general public 01
the Spanish capital, at this hour, still
believes Admiiai Cervera and his squa~
dron have escaped frOm Santiago (ls
Cuba, thanks to the official dispatches
"given out by the government 'and the
interviews granted by the ministers. A
dispatch from Captain General Blanca
says:
“Cervera’ s squadron, at 11 O ’clock on
Sunday morning, broke the center of
the line of the American fleet and pro-
ceeded at full steam in a. westerly di-
rection. ”
The Spanish minister of marine, Sen-
or Aunon, is quoted in an interview as
saying:-
“I am highly pleased with the feat of
’arms performed by Admiral CervcraI's
squadron, which left Santiago the mo-
ment Admiral Cerveia. judged it Oppor-
-tune to do so.“
After eulogizing the Spanish admi-
rat. the minister of marine added:
“The squadron could only leave the
harbor at a given moment, and when
the moment arnived Admiral Cervera.
seized it. have never doubted he
would do so. But, of course. it is diffi—
Icult to foresee the result. The Ameri‘
can sqaudron was taken by surprise.
After attacking us, the Amenlcan ad-
.miral detached five of his best ships,
which steamed for some time comet
of ours; but'they Were soon left" astern;
Only the Iowa. and Brooklyn were able
to follow our fleet, but it is certain they
will not do sofar, for fear of reprisals
on our part. Admiral Cervera deserves
great praise.”
. Not one of the cfiicial dispatches re-
ceived from Cuba up to this hour make
mention of the destruction of Admiral
Cervera’s squadron, and, consequently,
the American accounts of the battle
cause immense surpri 51: and sensation,
though they are discredited by Span-
ish oflicials. ” .
, Everyone is anxiously Waiting for
neWs of to-day's expected bombard-
ment of Santiago de Cuba, and it is
anticipated that the fighting will re-
Sult in appalling blOodshed. The Span-
iard-s doubt whether .1theI Americans,
even if they destroy the city, will sue-
ceed in penetrating into it, as their
losses are confidently expected to be
enormous. The arrival of the Spanish
reinforcements at Santiago de Cuba.
will, according to the people here, ena-
Ible Santiago to make a more tenacious
defence than would otherwise have
been the case.

Officers here an. additional burden to

They must provide food and supplies
for the large number of prisoners that
have fallen and will fall into lthe hands
of the land and sea forces of the Uni-

already engaging their serious atten-
tion. One of the great difficulties of
