Transit OF EmiSrants through Antwerp.
The Belgian government has recently pubahed
statistical account Of the emigrans embarked in Ant
werp during the year 1915 the following extract Of
which will perhaps not be without interest TO this
community
The emgrants embarked during the said year. were
ll073 in number, while in 1874 they were only 2 96l,
and in lS45 622l That number inferior yet to those
OF the two preceding years Q31S7 in 1916 and Il $50
in lS47) proportonae decrease is observable in the
other ports of emigration such Bremen, Rotterdam
and especially Havre and may be attributed to the
itica events that ut the beginning Of the
son OF departure in France and Germany. 1t may be
said however, that the number for the present year
according to appearances is likely to show again con-
increase Most Of the emgrants embarking at
Antwerp are Germans hitherto very few Begans have
cmgrated The vessels employed for their transpora-
ton were GO In number, mostly bound to New York
Antwerp affords great advantages and facilities for the
embarkation of emigrants coming from Germany Since
1913 their baggage is carried free the Belgian rail-
way ana the same privilege has been recently extended
to them on the Prussian railway from Cologne to the
Belgian frontier besides reduction eff thirty cent

the tarin OF the Rhinsh steamers of the society Of
Cologne The Belgian government has adopted various
other measures for the benefit and protection of emf
grants special commissioner has been appointed in
Antwerp to act in behalf of the emgrants and
them from being imposed upon otherwise vexed

their complaints and procuring them just redress this
institution has already rendered them great service
At the same time, the judiciary authorities and police

themselves agents, commissioners of engrants who
are unavoidably to be found in all ports emigration
Most Of these people foreigners who have come to
Antwerp with the view of ombarkng and have finally
settled there for want of continuing to live at
the expense OF their countrymen whom they intercept

INTELLIGENCE FROM SANTA FE.-The Santa Fe
RCpu6ticdn OF the 10th of February last, says
Notwithstanding all the treaties OF peace which
have been made with the various tribes of Indians
about and among us, the Naviios have again re-
commenced the exercise of their thieving propen-
sites. number of these red-sknned allies of
ours, recently made a foray in the vicinity of the
town of Tome, and drove off some two or three
goons stationed ut Tome had become so much re-
duced IN numbers, from various causes, as to be
unable to give immediate pursuit AS soon, how
ever, as the fact was reported to Lieut. Taylor,
commanding at Albuquerque, he promptly des-
patched party in pursuit; but the depredators
had by this time gotten start Of some thirty-six
hours, 1t is feared that the pursuit will be unsuc
cessful.
From the reports of the party Just arrived from
the Rio Abajo, with the paylnaster, we are in
formed that IN crossing the Jornada del Muerto
(at the Lagrna) they found two wagons loaded
with Paso wine and brandy, the animals of which
the liquors also appeared to have been destroyed
The party took possession of the remainder, and
brought 1t to Socorro, where they found the own
ere, and delivered the property. A number of
men (Mexicans) who had accompanied the wa
gems, were found scattered along the road between
the Laguna and San Pedro.
1t is to be hoped that government will soon send
us sufficient force to enable to compel an OBJ
serance of treaties with these border robbers
No treaty with them will ever be efectual that is
not based originally on sound flogging and the
certainty Of repetition of the punishment on re-
petition OF the offence.

came paper says:-The attention of many persons
is being turned to the gold mines and placers so
abundant IN this territory. We have heard the
most f1atterng accounts of the abundance of gold
mines, about eighty miles north of Don Fernandez
de Taos, and we have seen the sworn declarations
OF some of the most respectable citizens of Taos
valley, as to their visits to these mines which af
ford the most ample evidence of their great wealth
Orlbees, respectable citizen of the Arroyo, Don
Carlos Ortves on visit TO these mines, worked
three days with nothing but wooden shovel, did
not dig more than half yard, and obtained eighty
three, brought in five hundred dollars in gold DUST
after ten days. work. The great difficulty which
has heretofore prevented the working Of these mines
has been the war between the Utas and Mexicans,
and since the entrance of the Americans, the war
with the Apaches; but, since treaty with the
Apaches has been made by Gov. Washington, we
hope to see them actively worked and explored.
The proprietors OF the Sangre de Criste claim, and
are poor men, without capital to work the mines,
and have empowered Captain ST. Vrain, of this
place, to form company for working them If
this ls done, we have no doubt that it will greatly
have the promise Of more information in relation
to these mines, which, at a future time, will be
presented to the readers of the Republican,.

from Don Fernandez de Taos. He will leave SO
soon as the remainder Of his party shall have join

destination. We regret to learn that Mr.. Fremont
has lost ten men out of thirty-six, the original
number with which he started, by cold and hum

further prosecution OF his project. He will leave

health will admit.
