RIO GRANDE WATERS.
A Tale OF Woe from Down the Val
ley-They Want Water.

Washington, Mch. 2. - Mr.. Charles E.
Weshe, acting United States consul at
Paso Del Norte, Mexico, has told in a
pathetic' way through report to the
state department some of the sufferings
of the people of that section through
drouth brought on by the diversion of
the waters of the Rio Grande by the agri-
culturists of Colorado and New Mexico.
He recalls the fact that Mexico by
treaty consented to an equal share with
the United States of the waters of this
river, and shows how vast tract of
Mexican land, which formerly produced
great crops, is now barren as result of
the operations of the irrigation companies
in the upper river and tributaries in
Colorado and New Mexico. Attention is
called to the recommendation of Presi-
dent Cleveland that "mixed commits
sion be created with power to build 8
great reservoir at Paso del Norte tJ store
the winter flood waters for use in irri-
eating the lands on the lower river, which
for ten years has been made dry every
summer"

WISDOM OF PRESIDENT DOLE
Death Sentences COmmuted to Fine
and ImprisOnment-NO Execu-
tiOns in Honolulu.

San Francisco, Mch. 2.-The steamship
Australia arrived to-day from Honolulu.
Among the passengers are thirteen exlles
from the Hawaiian islards, put on board
by officials of the republic at the last
moment before the sailing of the steamer.
Among the number are only few &C.
cused of actual completely in the recent
revolution. The others are mostly
Britishers and Germans who made them
selves obnoxious to the republican gov
ernment by too much talking. Among
the exiles, who became known as sup.
porters of the revolutionary party, are
Wundenburg, Creighton, Peterson, Rath-
ernil, Brown and Fitzsimmons. The
most important news brought by the
steamer was the decision of President
Dole and his cabinet committing to thirty
five years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine
all death sentences imposed by the court
martial upon Wilcox, Seward, Rickard
and Gullick, the leading rebel plotters.
This means that there will be no execu-
tions as result of the recent revolution.

SOME MORE HISTORY.
How it Happened that Confirmation
of the Executive Appointments
Was Secured.
The Governor and the Council Acted
Promptly to Take Advantage of an
Opportune Moment.

There seems to be some question in
the public mind as to who organized and
planned the coup whereby the executive
nominations were confirmed by the legis-
lative council on Thursday of last week.
1t has come to the New MEXICAN that Mr..
Felix Martinez, the self-constituted party
boss from San Miguel, is making loud
boasts as to his connection with this
clever piece of political legerdemain;
indeed, he has given it out that he was
the prime mover in the affair that se-
cured this victory to Democracy. But
the cold steel of truth finds no difficulty
in puncturing this claim. The facts are
that Martinez was not Sin it" at all. He
didn't even have an inkling as to what
was going on. His presence on the out
side of the council chamber, with the
locked-out Republican members, at the
critical moment, was 80 noticeable and
his blank expression of countenance so
painfully apparent, that a group of
Democrats standing near, Florida county
men, observed his dilemma and ono Of
them remarked, ,sarcastically, "that's where
Martinez belongs"
To ascertain the facts in the case
New MEXICAN representative was COM
missioned to call on President George
Curry. He SAID, in substance: "When it
became apparent to the six members of
the council who had voted to 90 into ex-
ecutive session that the five Republican
members had walked out with view to
hroa b iprr ~
the sergeant-at-arms to bring in Council
man Desmarais. A moment later Gov.
Thornton, who had been apprised of the
situation, came to the council chamber,
knocked and was admitted. Addressing
the members of the council the governor
said sour opportunity has arrived, and he
requested Mr.. Bunker to prepare the
resolution confirming all executive nom
inees then before the council, except the
three over which there was some contest
among Democrats, and urged that as
soon as a quorum could be secured the
council should 60 into executive session
and pass the resolution.
"The governor then retired and thus it
happened that when Mr.. Desmarais was
brought in by the sergeant-at-arms the
quorum was complete, and the five Re-
publican members arrived two minutes
later to find themselves locked out and
the Democrats in the act of confirming
the appointees."
In addition it may be stated that Felix
Martinez followed the governor into the
,ounoil chamber, and, overhearing his
suggestions as to the opportuneness of the
moment, went out Immediately to again
join the crowd outside and loudly boast
of his shrewdness in planning the coup
when, in reality, he, "like the flowers that
bloom in the spring, had nothing to do
with the case"

A Oueer e.ilyer EDisOde.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Mch. 2.-Presi1ent
Angel and the silver students attending
the state university have been involved
in jangle over the use of the university
hall. free silver club embracing nearly
500 students has been formed, and wanted
the hall, the largest in the city, for vari
GUS addresses by Senators Wolcott and
Teller and Representatives Bland and
Bryan.
President Angel refused permission
on the ground that the regents had de-
cided that no political meetings should be
held there. The students claim a free
silver propaganda is not politics and
have all appealed to the president. They
assert that opposition to bi-metallism in
the faculty is the real cause of the presi-
dert's refusal.
