SAN ANTONIO, May 23.-The trial of
Pablo Munoz, who is alleged to have
occupied the position Of Colonel IN
Catarino Garza's celebrated Mexican
constitutional army, was resumed in
the United States court this morning
at 10 O'Clock. The greater part OF the
forenoon session was occupied in pre-
senting law in regard TO admitting as
testim ony the proceedings in the lower
or commissioners court. 1t was final
ly decided to allow such testimony
to be given and United States Com
missioner Downs of Rio Grande City
then presented this testimony. He said
that Pablo Munoz was brought before
him last December by United StaIes
deputy marshal When arraigned
defendant pleaded guilty, but at that
point his son arrived with an attor-
ney, who advised defendant to make
no statement. On cross-examination
witness stated that he knew nothing
of and escapades of Capt. Bourke and
United States troops in that section of
the border.
Manuel Bedada, very intelligent
looking Spaniard, was the next
witness called. He testified that
he knew defendant. Witness
and other federal and military officers
met Munoz on the road. The latter
started to run, but was overtaken by
Sheriff Shelly. The prisoner was
taken along with them, and they soon
saw some horses in field. They
went into the field and captured eight
horses and saddles, besides some arms
and papers, the riders escaping over
the fence on the other side.

erty?" asked Judge Boarman.

"The utmost ignorance of the law
was shown by both you and Lieuten-

Attorney Evans asked? "Did you
take any paper from the prisoners"
Eyes Sir"

ment written in Spanish as follows:

Owing to the merit and
services of the citizen Pablo Munoz,
the rank of full colonel is conferred

whom he may be returnable, will

Witness testified that he found
the above commission on the
person of the defendant when ar
rested. Other papers were also found
in the abandoned camp of the revo-

COMMISSIONER GENERAL LAM
OFFICE.

Hon. James S. Shepherd, of Colo
RADIO, Tex, has been, we see, brought
forward as a prominent candidate for
Land Commissioner, and there is prob
ably no man in the state more eminent
ly fitted for the position. Long expe-
rience in the land business, combined
with ripe judgement and thorough
knowledge of the land system and
policy of the state, will commend him
to the Houston convention. Known
throughout the west as practical
surveyor and land man, and CONVEX.
SAINT in every respect with the needs
of the West, the interests ofthe State
would be kept well in hand, as the
bulk of the State university, and
Asylum lands lie in the western por-
ton of the State. Mr.. Shepherd is a
man of unsullied reputation and is
we'll known in this part of the State
having lived for number of years in
Austin The State would be proud
of such public servant.

Mr.. Dashiell was born and raised in
Washington county, and after gradu-
ating from the high school at home
came here to attend the University,
where he made a distinguished re-
cord as student and debater, repre-
senting his literary society (the Rusk)
as final orator in 1888. From here he
went to Leon county, began the prac-
tice of law and was elected county
attorney. He is an original commits
sion man and has the interests of the
people at heart.

A FEW years ago one Ignatius Don

that the world would turn upside

Cryptogram. But time takes it's re-

The world still reads Shakespeare

Bolton, Tex, May 23.-Governor
Hogg spoke here this afternoon to a
large and enthusiastic audience. The
opinion seems to prevail that he made
good impression. His speech in the

that he had been in favor of a COM

If the Baltimore sailors claims keep

impelled to put an attachment on the

At this rate it is mighty fortunate we
were not compelled to go to war with
Chill. The loss of a few ships crews of
such sailors would have bankrupted
the nation. Cleveland Leader.
The CHILEAN drama closes with cool
demand by our government for dam
ages. Those people probably regret
that the United States steamer Baltl-
more ever anchored in their waters. -

1t looks as though Chill would have
to move out and give quit claim dee d
of the republic in order to meet the big
claims for indemnity made by Specu-
latiye lawyers on behalf of the inter-
ested victims.-Detroit Free Press.
The demand for over 50, 000, 900 indem-
nifty from Chill by. the hirty-four sail
ors of the Baltimore is in keeping with
the magnitude Of President Harrison's
spread-eagleism. If such claims are
countenanced by this government it
will look like the determination of
bully to pick fuss-Toledo Bee.
The sailors of the Baltimore,' whose
claims against Chill for indemnity range
from SAC, 900 to $50, GOO, are by no means
modest in their estimates OF the damage
done them. If Chill has seen these fig
ures it is not to be wondered at that she
feels too poor to stand the expense Of a

There is nothing small about the
Yankee tar when it comes to putting
in claims for damages. The Baltimore's
sailors want over S2.000,000 from Chilli
for the Valparaiso outrages, and the de-
mand has caused sensation at Santi-
ago and created agitation in the ex-
changes. But probably Uncle Sans

the claims trifle.-Troy Times.

GROWTH OF CITIES.

1t is not difficult to remember the
period when there may have been
harder problems for the youth in the
schools than to name all the towns in
the United States that exceeded 800 or
1900 population. IL it was now re-
quired of the railway postal clerks few
of them would pass the ordeal. Now
about $4,000, 900 people, we'll toward
One-half the total population, live in
There are 3,715 of these. More than
half of the 26,000,00o live in cities that
have $4,000 or more population. Ac-
cepting the recent census in New York,
and there are four cities that have
million Or more people, seven have
100000 and upwards, and twenty-one
have between those figures and 10000.
The towns are gaining enormously in
the agricultural regions, and the present
indications are not favorable for any
early change in this tendency. The
Impression has been that the centers of
trade and population could grow only
as the country was developed tributary
to them. In New England, New York,
Pennsylvania and some other states the
agricultural districts have been stag
nant, finoteven falling away. Illinois has
its increase nearly confined to Chicago.
This has not been the fact with the
Twin Cities to any considerable extent.
They have hardly kept pace with the
growth of the country within their COM
mercial radius. The vast regions be-
yond are taking on new proportions,
and it is evident that the opportunities
for the expansion of their trade centers
will be of large dimensions. They need
to be but properly utilized.
