THEY ARE SAFE,
=" LA HEY FUEGO."
The Law Under Which Mexican Political
Prisoners are Shot Down without
the FOrmaIity of Examination.


Special to the Gazette
SAN ANTONIO, Ten, Oct. H.-Seven
miles below Rio Grande City, Tex, and on
the opposite side of the river, the body of
the nephew of Julien Flores, a suspected
revolutionist, swings to tree with nine
teen bullet holes in it. He was arrested
some days ago, and left for Victoria under
a guard of soldiers. The corpse is rotting
away. but no one is bold enough to cut it
down. Felipe Salinas, another member of
GarZa's band, was caught on the Sth inst,
and has been removed in the same way.
The soldiers excuse the death of these men
by stating they were killed under warrants
of the state which are called ''la hey fuego. -
1t is a law permitting the shooting of pris-
oner who attempts to escape. By its war;
rants hundreds of men have been executed
i'll Mexico wishin the past five years. A
political prisoner is given to understand
that he must make break for liberty, and
that if he does not he will be shot anyway
The svictin is allowed to put some ten
yards between himself and his captors, and
is then tu1nbled on his face with bullets
through the back. 1t is noticeable these
escapes never occur in thick wood OF
brushy country where the fugitive would
have some chance to dodge. The military
watch instituted by the Mexican generals
along the Rio Grande since the Cara out
break IS an exceedingly strict one. and the
people are afraid TO be seen in groups of
two or three.

Most people know what The Burlington
Route is-some people, perhaps, do not

West. The Burlington Route is the name
of first-class railroad from Chicago, PEG
ria and st. Louis to and between the prin-
cipal cities and towns of Illinois. Iowa
Missouri. Wisconsin. Minnesota, Nebraska
and Colorado. The 1000 miles of this great
road pass into and through the best farm
ing regions of these great states. reach
Deadwood. So. Dakota. and the new MINING
country of the Black Hills. Along the lines
of the Burlington Route are the best oppor-
tunities in the West, Northwest and South
west, for the farmer. the manufacturer.
the merchant, the miller, the miner and
the pleasure seeker.
The Burlington Route runs through pas
senger trains every day in the year between
ST. Louis, Chicago and Peoria, Kansas
City, AtchiSon, St. Joseph. Council Bluffs,
Omaha, Lincoln, Denver, st. Paul and Min
neapois, making connections at these
points with all Eastern and Western roads,
and giving the travelling public uneGualed

For speed, safety, comfort. character of

The Commissions W DIRK.
Special to the Gazette.


AUSTIN, TEX, Oct. 12.-The railways, or
some of them, are again evading the COM
missions ruling concerning fiat and COM
pressed cotton. 1t is now charged that
some of them refuse cotton for compressage
in transit and insist on hauling it fiat to
Galveston. The steamship lines decline to
receive it fiat the roads have preteXt for
COMPRISING it and charging the expense,
10 cents per bale, to the shippers, increas-
ing by that much the commissions rate on
fat cotton. This practice, the commission
charges, is violation of rule of the cot
ton tariff and clear evasion of its intent
and purpose. 1t has therefore notified the
companies guilty of the practice that unless
they discontinue it the present rate on COM
press will be made the same on all cotton.
Judge Reagan was alone to-day, Judge
: Mclean having been attached as a witness
and taken to Bowie county, and Mr.. Foster
being still in attendance on the Baptist as
SOciation at Waco.
There is as yet no change in the judicial
embroglio. Governor Hogg says that the
only point of dispute now is the demand of
the Waco litigants that the receivers
waive the right of appeal from Judge Good
rich'S decision as to the amount due for
grading the road. The governor appears to
think that this will be amicably settled. He
expects the attorneys of both sides to meet
here and come to an understanding about it.
They will be here tonight or tomorrow.
1t is probable that certain notifications
in the lumber tariff rulings will be made
that will give the Southeastern mills
chance at the Northwest and the North
eastern mills better opening at the South.

Cleared the Right of Way.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 12-The Union
Pacific to-day began the forcible eviction of
people and the destruction of dwellings on
its right of way in Kansas City, Kan. The
evicted families are ''squatters'' on Union
Pacific lands at this point, and have lived
there for years unmoleSted. Six of the
houses of the .'squatters'' on the right of
way We're torn down and scattered in all di-
rections. One engine with a construction
car attached. mass of chains and ropes
and about twenty men did the work. A
large heavy rope was run around the
houses, the other end of which was at
tached to the train. When the engine
started there was a crash, a shower of
splnters and the house had disappeared.
The place was the scene of the greatest eX-
citement. Most of the shanties had been
vacated for sometime. although the furni-
ture remained in two or three, and the own
ers refused to move.

Brennan could doubtless secure road to

Georgia is still in the lead having added
almost 200 miles on twelve different roads.
The new state of Washington comes sec
ond with 1927 miles on twelve lines, and
Pennsylvania follows with NIX miles on
seventeen roads-showing the small aver
age of only ten miles for each. South Caro-
lima reports 1T15 miles, Alabama 1891
miles, Virginia 1872 miles, and North Caro-
lima and Tennessee each nearly 100 miles,
showing that the activity which has for
some time characterized the central South
ern states is still continuing. There is also
healthy but cautious work in increasing
railway facilities going Oh in the middle
Western states, and even New England is
continuing to make some additions year by
year. In forty-one Of the states and terri
tories new track has been added in 1891,
the only states which thus far report no
additions being Vermont. Connecticut, Del
aware, Mississippi and Nevada. Kansas.
in which railway building was kept up at 4
tremendous rate for several years, barely
escapes being left out of the list by show
ing one little extension of two niles, while
Iowa and Nebraska, il which construction
had almost stepped, have each about TWEEN
ty-1ive miles more to report.
Although there are three months of the
year left, in which the Lrachlaying still in
progress on a number of short lines will be
materially increased. it now looks probable
that the total for 1891 will fall below 5000
miles. At present it is about $50 miles
less than at the same time in 1890. when
the total for the year reahced nearly 513S
miles. The yearly addition of new track
has not fallen as low as 5000 miles since
1855. but in that year it was less than 1900
and IN 1854 it was less than 1000 miles;
while in the series of six years from 1873 to
1878 inclusive the greatest years work was
less than 400 miles, anu in one year it
eached only little over 1900 miles. So if
the railway mileage of the country is
increased 1900 miles ia 1891 it will make
fair average. although far lower than the
totals of several of the years of great rail
way building.

desired. The Davis mountains shield the
Toyan valley from the northers and the
water is excellent being very abundant
and furnished by magnificent springs which
are numerous. One man has Il, 600 acres
in corn. the ears of which are Il foot in
length, and the stalks grow to a heighth of
ten and twelve feet. while all kinds of
vegetables grow luxuriously. He say he is
