DENVER AND Ell PASO.
SECRETARY RAFF SAYS THAT WORK
MUST Soon BEGIN ON THE
New RAILROAD.

NEW lbAlLhOADs
There has never been a day for
many months past when the people
of El Paso have not been profound
ly interested in the building of the
railroad between this city and Den
yer. The movement for the road
was begun in this city and this city
has steadily encouraged its building.
FL Paso's promise to help that road
has been given, and when the condi-
tions of her promise have been met,
this city will come forward for the
redeeming of her pledges. 1t is even
probable that the proposed Denver
and FL Paso Short Line will receive
substantial encouragement.
From a letter received yesterday
it appears that prompt action will be
taken looking to the early begin
ming of work. Here is the letter:
INDEPENDENT RAILROAD COMPANY.
El Paso Times, El Paso, Tex.
LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, Aug. 13.-Dear
Sirs: Recent assurances as to the
placing of our bonds at the proper
time impel us to begin energetic
work at once on this end of the line.
We now desire to revive public
interest and TO wake up the cities
and towns along the road to its Incal~
culable benefit, its great resources,
its plans and the necessity for ener-
getic effort all along the line from
Denver to El Paso.
We are also anxious to learn what
may be the feeling of your people as
to making El Paso our southern ter
minus, and whether they are disposed
to do their share III assisting us to
construct the road.
All this being matter of public in
tereSt ana oil immense consequence
to your city, we bespeak your coop
Grafton in keeping the road before
the people by the publication of suit
able articles. With your permission
we will from time to time send you
matter for publication concerning the
proposed line and its progress.
Yours truly,

A SIGNIFICANT DEMOCRATIC CIRCULAR.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 2s.-
The text of a secret New York
Democratic circular was read with
great interest here today. The cir
cular was issued from Erie county
Democratic headquarters under date
of August II, signed by Secretary
John G. Collins and addressed to the
Democratic voters of Buffalo. 1t
affords remarkably clear view of
the Democratic situation in the
Empire State as viewed by Demo
Gratis themselves. The circular calls
a meeting to be held tonight, and
continues:
"The calling of this meeting at an
earlier date than was contemplated
is for the reason that the situation in
our party throughout the county and
state has become very serious.
There seems to be but one course left
for Mr. Cleveland's friends to pur-
sue, and that Is TO organize
thoroughly in every town, ward and
election district, independently of the
so-called regulars, and see to it that
our national ticket receives the sap
port to which it is entitled-a sup
port it certainly will not receive if
the campaign is left entirely in the
hands of Mr.. Cleveland's enemies.
Make it your business to attend the
meeting Friday night"
The circular provoked a severe
attack upon the county organization
from the Buffalo Times, the "regu-
lar" party organ. Cleveland's sup
porters are preparing, it is said, to
set up candidates of their own for
Assemblymen in various parts of the
state, and Republicans here imagine
they see fair chance for vigorous
reopening of the anti-convention
fight in the Democratic ranks.

LATE NEWS.
THE vrLAsco WATER LINE.

VELAsCo, Tex, Aug. 2s.-While
it is not possible to obtain for publi-
cation all of the particulars of the
deal in New York being made for
line of four steamships to VelSsco,
it is assured upon good authority that
these negotiations have been going
on for some time past, and that the
interest held therein by the ruling
spirits of the Missouri, Kansas g.
Texas railway was recently the cause
of the report that they had bought
an option In the .Velasco Terminal
road. The NJ, X. 81 T. some time
ago obtained an alteration in its
charter authorizing a line from Pat
tison or Leslie station to Velasco at
the same time that it would extend
its main line to Houston. The same
authority asserts that two of the
above mentioned steamships will be
started in the very near future and
the others added later. Parties the
most extensively interested in devel~
oping Velasco at the mouth of the
Brazos have been in New York this
spring and summer conducting nego-
tiations for this new Texas line, and
for obvious reasons have kept the
transanction very quiet.

again become violently disturbed and the
citizens thrown into state OF excite
ment, The trouble began yesterday
evening, when the prisoners confined for
various offenses at Fort Santa Cruz mu-
tinted and succeeded in overpowering
the guards and soldiers stationed at the
place. They advanced upon Forts Rico
and Iage, overcame the soldiers on
duty, and took possession of the two forts
and all the munitions OF war they con-
tanned. Flushed by their victories, the
prisoners, after perfecting all arrange
ments for guarding the forts, boldly de-
manded the restoration TO power of the
depOsed Dictator Fonseca. The Govern
ment hurried all available forces to the
scene of the uprising. Troops We're
placed to surround the forts on the land
side, while warshipS were stationed to
guard the harbor side
The order to advance was given this
morning, and the troops at once moved
to the attack, while the guns of the war
vessels began to hurl shells. The efforts
of the soldiers were directed against Fort
Rico. They made a combined attack on
the works, and after a show Of resistance
by the rebels the troops carried the tort.
In the meantime the gunboatS were bonn
harding Fort Santa Cruz and so effective
was their work that the rebels were soon
forced TO surrender. The troops finally
obtained possession of all the forts and
the prisoners again placed in cells. The
firing during the attack on the forts was
plainly heard throughout this city and
caused the greatest CONSERVATION. Many
timid persons sought places OF safety
and the storekeepers closed their places
of business and securely bolted the doors

A GRATEFUL ALLIGATOR.
Once Befriended, She Makes Anpuf
Visits to Her Benafacrnr

Visits to Her BenefacUor.
There is an old man who lives not a
dozen miles from Jacksonville on the st.
John River, who has what might be
called an alligator farm. lie owns tract OF
about twelve or thirteen acres, and in one
part is low, marshy place, which in wet
weather is fiiled with water. A ditch con-
meets this with the river.
one spring day TIE owner of the farm
While walking near the swamp, heard a
crashing sound IN the marsh grass, and
looking over to the center, saw large
alligator moving around. He stood still
and watched the saurian, and discovered
that 1t was throwing up mound of mud
and grass. Alter time, when the heau
had assumed shape not unlike that OF
hut such as the Esquimaux are pictured
as living in, the alligator lay on top. The
farmer came to the conclusion that she
was laying on her eggs, and not wishing
to disturb her, left.
The next day he visited the place again
and saw that the mound had been firmly
bedded all around, while the old gator
lay summing herself on log Each dav
he visited the place and carried food to the
old one III the shape of fish and meat, and
as the time went on she got so tame that
on a certain hour she was on the lookout
and came crawling up to be fed
One morning he was startled by loud
believing in the direction of the swamp.
and fastening over he found things in a
high state OF excitement. There lying in
a pool of water was the old mother sur
rounded by numerous little alligators,
some of which climbed upon her back
and then slid off, seeming to enjoy the
fun Immensely. At the sight of her
friend bright light beamed in her eyes.
and, after receiving q few carcsses, she
started off toward the river, followed by
her young.
Every spring after that the owner of the
place has watched for the old gator, which
has never failed to show up each year.
