GARzA IS NOT DANGEROUS.
Colonel WheeIand Explains Why the
Bandit Has Not Been Captured.

Bandit Has Not Been Captured.
Colonel j. NJ Wheeland, of Ft. Stanton, N.
NJ, passed through the city last evening
bound for New York. He said he was born
in Pittsburg, and always approached this
city with considerable sentiment. The
Colonel has spent. the last 30 years on the
frontier but the life is growing tiresome
since there are no more Indians to fight.
"GarZa is giving some trouble along the
Oorder," he continued, ''but great many
stories about his revolution have been writ
ten. Only the reports sent out about the
military operations are correct. The state
ment that Garza had applied to DiaZ for a
pardon for himself and some of his leaders
Is not true. He was the editor OF a news
paper in a small town near the border. His
following is not large, but he has gathered
around him q lot of disgruntled Mexicans
and few Indians. People who know any
thing about the country will readily

high sage brush, and 90 600 men wouldn't be
able to find 1,000 unless they saw them. 1t is
very difficult i'll the underbrush to run him
down, and he will probably continne his
depredations for some time. GarZa is try
ing to stir up revolution against President
DiaZ. He might cause trouble If he appeared
in some of the towns and levied tribute on

cred serious.
"Yes, am glad there will be no war with
Chile. The old men who fought from 1860 to
'64 had no desire to enter into second con-
test. The young fellows in the army were
anxious for brush with the Chileans for
the prospect of promotion it would bring"

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, MONDAY. FEBRUARY s.
MR. BLAINEs WITHDRAWAL.

The much agitated question of James
G. Blaine'S candidacy for the Presidency
is settled by the short letter, published in
this issue, by which that gentleman an
nounces that he will not permit his name
to he presented to the Minneapolis con-
vention. The reasons which impel Mr..
Blaine to this positive declination of a
nomination Of which he was assured by
the enthusiastic support of the great mass
of Republicans are subjects of conjecture.
The uncertain state of his health probably
had great weight in this conclusion, while,
on the other hand, the still greater uncer-
tainty of support from the friends of the
administration in the campaign, as stated
in our Washington correspondence yeSter-
day. may have turned the scales.
1t is more satisfactory to think that the
former reason was the sole effective one,
as withdrawal delayed until it accrues
chiefly to the benefit of those suspected by
the latter theory of prospective treachery
would not be an ideal one. 1t would GER
tainly have been far better if Mr.. Blaine
had announced this conclusion months
ago. His friends were entitled, if he
reached this decision, to know of it in
time to fully mature their choice of other
candidates. Ii he retained the hope that
his health would permit him to make the
race, and now finds the opposite to be the
case. he had, of course, no alternative but
to decline. Any other theory of the delay
OF his withdrawal presents very discour-
aging view of politics.
The declnation, of course, leaves PreSi-
dent Harrison far in the lead as the only
candidate about whose name any positive
organization is centered. But in the four
months that intervene between this and
the day of the convention it is possible that
opposition 10 his nomination of decided
strength may develop. There are too
many active politicians at outs with the
administration and too general recogni-
ton of President Harrison's weak points
for the expectation of nomination by ac-
camation. The politicians will be likely
TO gravitate to the support of Alger; but
Mckinley presents an ideal candidacy, not
as an opponent of Harrison, which his
pledges would prevent, but as a cOmpro-
mise, if the opposition should, as is not i'm
possible, render it necessary to seek
dark horse.
The next four months will be pregnant
with events that may decide the fate of
RepuhlicaniSm. 1t is clear that the Re-
publican party will need strong candi-
date this year The decision of the COM
ing sixteen weeks is likely to involve the
question of defeat or victory.

BIG GOLD AND SILVER FIND.
Excitement Intense at Ute Pass, Colorado,
and Property Climbs Up.

Excitement Intense at Ute Pass, Colorado,
and Property Climbs Up.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COL, Feb. 7.-[Specia. i
Considerable excitement exists in this city
on account of the discovery of gold at Green
Mountain Falls, 16 miles west of here, in the
Ute Pass on the line of the Colorado Mid
land. 1t has long been known that gold ex-
listed in Ute Pass. but it has never been
found in paying quantities. A month ago
Prof. Kimball, of Sacramento Cal, whose
invention of u magnetic to discover the
presence of minerals threatens to revolu-
tionize mining, visited the pass and located
heavy veins or both gold and silver, in and
adjacent to the town. The town company
was skeDtical, but to prove the truth of his
declarations, sank two or three shafts at
points he indicated. In every case they
found well. defined veins, and assays made
to-day gave returns OF $fG0 to $500. Five
ounces of rock reduced by chemicals showed
"A very fine button of pure gold.
Prof. Kimball declares that within the
town limits is the greatest silver deposit in
the State. Encouraged by their investiga-
tions thus far, the company is preparing for
extensive developments under the direction
of Mr. Kimball. Already the hills in the
neighborhood have been prospected and To-
Gated for claims. GJeen Mountain Falls
stock has jumped from S6 to SlJ n share, and
property there is in great demand. The
charming summer resort of the Ute Pass
seems to be on the verge of developing into
q thriving mining town.

NEW FISH FOR THE OHIO.
A Quantity OF Black BASS and the First
Pike Ever Placed in the River.

STEUBHNvILLE Feb. 7.-[Special. 1.-The first

sentimentalism which often leads the pub

that was possible to palliate her offense, and
since the principal sufferer from the crime

letter declaring that he is not a candidate
comes just six days earlier than the Florence

columns; but the shorter one leaves no room
for the doubts and reservations that were
alleged to exist between the lines of the let
ter of four years ago.

BOWERS GREAT IDEA.

Mr.. Bowers, of California, who last
week undertook to instruct the Demo-
cratic majority in the House as to their
proper course, presents himself in the
light, not only of our old friends Right
and Left Bowers, but also the Joker Mr.
Bowers is Republican, but, in his Demon
stration to the majority of the policy which
they must pursue, he makes the humorous
confession that as he has abjured the hope
of shaping the national policy he will be
content with placing himself in position
to rally around the old flag and an appro-
priation.
Mr.. Bowers seeks to impress upon the
Democratic mind that what the people
want is appropriations Especially the
popular hunger is for liberal appropria-
tions to complete the survey of msur-
veyed lands, to improve the harbors Of the
Pacific coast, and for other purposes es-
pecially calculated TO interest the Pacific
slope. The popular demand, speaking
through the voice of the Republican
Bowers, informs the Democratic majority
that if they will give the people plenty of
appropriations their political future will
be assured
Yet notwithstanding this assurance
there may be Democrats who are stolid
enough to doubt the grateful news.
Bowers own party tried that in a legisla-
tive body not so long ago that we need to
have forgotten the name of the Billion
Congress. The popular Endorsement of
that policy was not so overwhelmingly en-
thusiastic as to convince the Democrats
that Bowers game will take all the tricks.
