Need Rangers There.

William Ferguson, United States
costoms inspector for the San An
tonic district, has returned from a
trip through the Big Bend coun-
try, commonly known as the
"Bloody Peninsula" of Texas. In
his report of his visit he says: "The
custom officers at Boquillas, in the
Big Bend country, have the lone.
Hest station in the southwest.
There are noJAmericans within
fifty miles of them. They are in a
country where every man sleeps
with one eye open and his right
hand near his six shooter. There
is necessity for precaution. Both
above and below Boquillas are
bands of renegades and ut.throats
who only await chance to steal
and murder without provocation.
They are barbarians. A year or
two ago these outlaws attacked a
man named Ayres and shot him
dead. His wife saw the deed, and
her grief was so eXasperating to the
murderers that they cut of her
head, set her body against a wall,
placed the severed head in her lap
and left the corpse in that position.
l talked with a gentleman from
Alpine, who helped to bury the
husband and wife. This horrible
incident shows the spirit of the
gangs that infest that country.
They live by stealing and robbery.
Cattlemen who formerly had cattle
in the lower part Of the Big Bend
were unable to raise young stock.
The thieves and renegades stole
them. Nearly all the stock has
been moved out Of that country,
and the owners are doing their best
to get the remainder out. should

NEW TELEPHONE DEAL.
A Mammoth Company, Which Will
Give Cheap Telephones.


CHICAGO, April 5.-The Times
Herald today reiterates that big
new telephone enterprise, in oppo-
sitiOn to the Bell company, backed
by the Sugar trust, the Standard
Oil company, the Croker interests
OF California, and the Pullman
company interests. 1t is stated
that this combination is behind
the cosmopolitan electrical ordi-
nance, which played such an inn
pOrtant part in the recent Chicago
municipal election. The new COM
pany is the Standard Telephone
company, of New York. The cleo
trical devices which will be used
are those of Allen II. Nye, who
made such a hard fight on the
original patent, covering the trans
mission of speech by means Of
wire. The company proposes to
put in telephones all over the
country at uniform price Of S25
per year. Nine local companies
have already formed east of the
Mississippi river, and ten other
companies are in process OF Organi-
cation, to cover the remainder OF
the territory, the United States,
British provinces and Mexico.

HOT TIME IN CUBA.
THE INSURGENTS SAID TO BE GAIN
ING GROUND.
The Spanish Troops Sick aud Re-
ported as Deserving.

HAVANA, April 5.-The streets Of
Havana and the fields and noun
tains of Cuba are filled with SOL
diers and revolutiOnists. The eX-
citement is most intense. This is
because the insurgent forces are
growing almost as rapidly as the
reinforcements of loyal troops, and
they are coming in on every mari
time vessel sailing in this direction
from Spain. In Havana the beat
Of the drums and the drilling of re-
cruits are seen from daylight until
far into the night. In the plaza
surrounding Hotel Pazaja there are
hundreds of gaudily caparisoned
soldiers marching up and down all
during the day. The mounted
police gallop over the city six
abreast, never stopping until their
animals are exhausted, when their
places are taken by fresh animals
and men. This is for the purpose OF
| awning those who are inclined to
join the insurgents and to excite
the loyalty Of the Spaniards.
Troops are being forwarded to the
front as rapidly as the government
can send them.
The Spanish boys, for they are
boys, do not tarry long at Havana
after they come here and are
marched off. No one knows exact
ly where the government is NOV
ing them to, and the strictest GEN.
sorship is exercised over all the
mail and telegraph matter. 1t is
known, however, that a majority
of the men are now being forward
ed to Trinidad instead OF Santa
Clara and to Manzanillo and San
tiagO de Cuba, in the State Of San
tiago de Cuba. From these ports
they are being showed into the
mountains beneath a boiling sun.
| Nearly one-third of the soldiers
imported from Spain have been
sick and many of them have died.
| They are unacclimated and the
food is not to their liking. 1t is re-
ported that a company of regulars
deserted the army and Joined the
| insurgents near Puerto Principe.
The MassO brothers, command
ing the insurgents at Holguin, are
reported to have gained a signal
victory on the Doth, defeating the
Spanish, killing s, wounding 132
and capturing l.. This story is
discredited by officials here, but at
insurgent headquarters, visited
under cover, it was said to be abso-
| lutely true.
Captain General Emilio Callejas
returns to Spain as soon as Gen.
Martinez Campos arrives, which
will be the middle Of the present
month. The captain general will

gent forces are marshalled.

general will be in the United States
