Mexico City, Dec. 2S-Correo Espanol,
the organ of the Spaniards here, in speak.
ing of the New York Worlds article re-
garding the possible war with England or
Spain, says that Spaniards will greet with
great enthusiasm a war with the United
States, having many wrongs to revenge
there. This paper says the United States
is not military power, having no navy
nor disciplined army, that it would be
better for her to make peace with both
nations and pay indemnity for the dam
age done Spain during the Cuban insur-
rection.
The National Home Orphanage school

tinent, and are much more wonderful than
Kentucky's Mammoth caves.
Both Guatemala and Mexico are highly
pleased at the acceptance of Minister Ran

TRAVIS COUNTY ROADS.
COUNTY JUDGE M'FALL HAS
SOMETHING TO SAY ON

ROAD WORK PROGRESSING NICELY

w. A. Nolen as to the Work Done

b
1--WE hate to see Mon Sawyer leave"
said Judge McFall to Statesman report
er yesterday. "He is one OF, the best
practical road men in the State. He has
been with the county for several years
now and his work shows what he can
do. He leaves us with our best wishes
for his future success. The force he
leaves will go right on with the work he
has mapped out on the Manor road. We
are pushing the cause of good roads and
do not intend to let anything swesyer us
from this course. The annual reports of
Mon Sawyer and w. A. Nolen. filed re-
Gently, show the quantity and quality of
work done since we came in. Besides
this, we began working the county con-
victs on the road early in the summer.
Mr.. G. H. Hewlett, who is in charge of
the force has done some excellent work
on the main Round Rock road just be-
yond the county poor farm, continuing
the macadamizing where it was left off
about two years ago. This force is oper
ated at small cost and does very substan-
tial work. / think we will be able to
keep three forces at work from now ON
and with these good roads all over the
county is a matter Of only q few years.
The following extract from Mr.. Mot
Sawyer's report shows in detail what
work he has done during the year ending
December /, 1895:
During the past year / have graded
and macadamized about two miles on the
lower Austin and Georgetown road and
put in seven cement pipes on the Manor
and Webberville road, built approaches
to the iron bridge across Big Walnut
creek on the Austin and Ptiuggerville
road, ripprapped and macadamized the
same, made a 6-foot cut through rock on
north side of creek and 6-fOot cut on
south side, also graded four miles and
put in five pipe culverts and graded about
One-half mile on the same road, graded
about seven miles and graveled about
| two and one-half miles and put in II
pipe culverts on the Austin and Cameron
road, graded two miles on New Sweden
and Taylor road two miles on New
Sweden and Elgin road, two miles on
New Sweden and Manor road and put
in one pipe culvert, graded two miles on
New Sweden and Austin road and put
in two pipe culverts, made 5-foot cut
on the Hamilton Hill Continuation of
East Eleventh street,, also put in pipe
and made 5-foot fill on same street,
graded and repaired road from Bertram
place to Radam's garden and worked
three days on the continuation or East
Twelfth street."
The report of Mr.. w. A. Nolen, who is
in charge of the force on the south side
of the river, shows that during the same
period he has graded three miles and ma
cadamized one and three-quarter miles on
the San Antonio road, graded and ma
cadamized one and three-quarter miles
on the Fredericksburg road. graded ana
macadamized two and quarter miles on
the Lockhart road and graded three,
quarters of mile on the Austin ana leo
Rock road and the same distance on the
Iockhart road south of Creedmoor.

the most for the privilege gets it. The
collector must make his Office yield a
personal revenue, as he is entitled mere
ly to what he can make out of his con-
tract. His position under n government
run by intrigue and corrupt from centre
to circumference is precarious, and he
must make hay while the sun shines
The Armenians have money. To extort
it from them is the easiest and best meth
cd by which the collector may become
enriched. If he become too extortionate,
he can hide his rapacity by ST.. ing up
riot and turning the wild tribes on Ar
menian villages. Such are the. reasons
alleged for the Armenian troubles by a
man who denies that Islam is religiously
fanatical.

WHY TURKS HATE ARMENIANs.
A Liberal Mohammedan View On the
Turbulent Question.

In a roundabout way there has come
to the West liberal Mohammedan'
view of the Armenian question, and it re-
minds one of the anti-Semitic feeling that
runs turbulently into the politics of Rus
STA, and even of Prussia and Austria.
This Mussulman's explanations were
published in a Crimean newspaper, from
which his statements have been render
ed into English in the columns of the
American periodical. 1t is not, he thinks,
the revolutionary ambitions of the Arme-
ians; it is not their connection with
Christian nations either by virtue of their
own ancient church or through the pres
ence of English and American missiona
ries, who keep the sympathy of foreign
nations aroused for them, that this peo-
pie have become odious to their Moslem
neighbors, and especially to the ha Sew
ilized Circassians. and kurds. "The Ar
menian question:" he urges, sis not po-
litical; it is economical" These people
are along the Bosphorus, the Aegean and
Black Sea ports what the Greeks are on
and in the west of Turkey-namely, the
shopkeepers, traders and bankers. Be
sides this, they have opened commercial
houses and exchanges in various parts of
the world. Hence they have grown in
INDUSTRIAL importance all over tne more
civilized parts of the empire of the Sui
tan. They have also the best schools in
Turkey; they send their brighter or
Weather youth abroad to be educated;
they start new industries and control
them; their frugality and industry have
enriched them. Their prosperity stirs the
envy and rapacity of their Mosem neigh
bors. All through the Caucasus to the
Caspian and in Asia Minor the Georgians
and Tartars and Kurds, who are natur-
ally inert, see their vineyards and pas
lures, their herds and caravansaries, their
wine and trade, passing into the posses
sion of the Armenians. Of these Chris
tians they borrow money; they believe
them to have boarded treasures, and they
are ready on small provocaton to apply
to them the rudest methods of socialistic
equalization. The feeling of the Moslem
toward these people is that of the anti
Semites of Berlin toward the Jews; and
the reasons for their attitude are sub
the same. The Armenians are
also in a way separated as a distinct class
from Islam, as they are exempt from mil
itary duty.
A further complication is found in the
abominable revenue system of Turkey.
The collection of the government income
is farmed out, and the man who will pay
