the fact that some strange superstition in
vested the spot, theory which is in part
substantiated by a vague legend which
which has come down to US. The strange
body of water, situated at this remarkable
altitude and in its weird natural basin,
has an air of mystery at twilight which
might easily provoke superstition and the
awe of the ignorant.
The surrounding formation is igneous
rock. In little canyon above the lake a
curious natural transformation is taking
place, the water which flows through it
being so charged with lime that the en-
tire gulch is being slowly but surely filled
up with the deposit that it leaves. Mar
velous echoes can be called forth from the
surrounding peaks in early morning and
evening and curious fogs rise from the
waters surface on warm nights, taking
fantastic shapes.
The petition, which has gone on to
Washington, asks for the reservation from
settlement of two sections of land sur
rounding and embracing the lake. Upon
this land two squatters are located, but it
has only just been surveyed, and no entries

ment of the people that these settlers
should receive some small compensation,
this compensation would be slight mat
ter, as lands of this quality in this region
are now taxed for not more than couple
ofdollars an acre, and could with difficulty
be sold for anything at all, while they
yield but meager return for arduous toll.
Already some of the noblest tree growths
have fallen before the settlers hand, and
a few years ago former settler burned
over large extent of woodland in the
vicinity to provide more pasture"
Should the Federal Government grant
the prayer of the people, the forest growth
in the vicinity of the lake will be zealousiy
preserved, pleasure-boats will be placed
on the water and every effort be made to
contribute to the comfort and pleasure of
those who seek the spot. Its elevation

The Fate of Captain Dreyfus.

Dreyfus Is undergoing his sentence on
the lie du Diable, an arid, desolate rock,
one of a group of three small islands sit
uated fifteen miles northeast of Cayenne,
in Guiana. The island is about half a
mile long by 800 yards wide, the last exile
there having been Delescluze, the French
communist. am told that Dreyfus, who
is the only prisoner on the island, will not
long survive the rigid discipline and terri
BILE monotony of his captivity. He is per-
mitted TO see no one but prison doctor
from the mainland. and while he is
never for a moment out of sight, by
night or day, of one at least of mis-
warders, all are expressly forbidden
under pain of Imprisonment to converse
with him. Escape is impossible, for Drew
fus is kept under lock and KEY when not at
exercise pacing up and down a measured
100 yards by word of command. Supplies
are brought daily from the adjacent lie
Royale, where there is large convict
establishment, but it is only in very fine
weather that landing on the He du
Diable can be effected. To further euard
against escape any boat not flying the
cipher flag is at once fired upon, while a
telephone now connects Dreyfus' place of
exile with the neighboring islands. A
swimmer would stand no earthly chance,
for the sea swarms with sharks. Drevfus
is much changed in appearance, and las
grown old and careworn almost beyond
recognition. Nine. Dreyfus still firmly
believes in her husbands innocence, and
the report that she had taken another
name is absolutely unfounded.-Pall Mall

Curiously enough, although there are
many indications of the prehistoric tribes
in the mountains close by, there is
nothing in the immediate vicinity of the

grassy sward, some FIVE acres in ex-

wooded, and plunges into what is
known as the "Sink." This Sink has
been fruitful cause of disappointment to
many strangers. 1t lies just below the
lake, and may at some remote period have
been connected with it, for it is apparently
the bed of an ancient lake, and is fine
sheet OF water in flood season, but dries
with stiff mud bottom and a single,
small starveling pool of water in the sum-
mer season. The traveller is often dis
posed to consider it the end of his quest,

far to see has all dried up. People have

petitioning the Federal Government to

a National park.
High up in the heart of the mountains
this charming body of water lies, nesting
in great bowl-shaped hollow at the foot
of Zaca Peak, whose triangular shape dis
tinguishes it along the serrated crest of

ZaCd Lake Needs Federal Protection.

The people of Santa Barbara County are
very appreciative of the natural beauties
of the wild mountainous region which lies
back of the fertile coast valley and which
comprises very nearly two-thirds of the
county's area, but for years they have
been tamely submitting to having barbed-
wire fences strung across their most at
tractive trails, and many of their most de-
ightful canyons and mountain passes
have been closed to travel by speculative
individuals who, for the sake of gaining a
doubtful title to an uncertain water right,
or to snatch bit of wild pasture which
may in the very distant future attain some
marketable value, will thus bar public ap-
proach to localities worthless for settle
ment but abounding in scenic attractions

the coast. One who has traversed it many
times remarks that although heavy teams
are often taken over it it is sort of road
that an Eastern man would crawl up on
his hands and knees, and that it fairly

turesque, as such roads always are. Some
times it loses itself in shadow under over
arching sycamores, sometimes it emerges
on bare and rocky hillside or penetrates
a lovely glade where stately white oaks

THE STATEHOOD BILLS.
They May Be Reported ito the House
 for Action.

WASHINGTON, March 26. - The statehood bills for the admission of the territories of Arizona and New Mexico will be again passed upon by the house committee on territories at the meeting next Thursday.
 Today the committee decided with out any formal vote to take the bills up next week and vote upon them a second time.
 It is claimed by the advocates of statehood that the two committeeme who voted against reporting the bills have come to the opinion that the best plan will be to lay them before the house and let the whole house take the responsibility of passing or re- jecting them. This course has been advocated by some of the party Lead CTS in the house.

The Maricopa and Phoenix Tele- graph Line Will Retire in It's Favor.

The news given lately in The Re- publican of the passage to the Postal Telegraph company of the telegraph line of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix company was accompanied by the prediction that the move would at once force the Western Union company to extend its lines into Phoenix. This prediction has been verified.

Masten, of the Arizona Telegraph company and Marieopa & Phoenix railway, in formed a Republican reporter that he has been for several days in communi- cation with the Western Union man. agers touching upon @ transfer of his company's line from Maricopa to Phoe- nix to the great telegraph corporation and that the change would be soon made We have made money out of the line to Maricopa,' said MT.

 It will be noted that lIhe Western Union is alert concerning the invasion by the Postal of a territory that here tofore has been controlled almost en- tirely by the former. From Prescott it is learned that the Western Union

 graph line soutlhward from Ash Fork and will continue it on to Phoenix,

ANNIE M'GRATH'S DEATH.
Fear of Exposure May Have Prompted
 Suicide.

PHILADELPHIA, March 26.-An- other theory regarding Annie Me Gralth's death is to the effect that the girl being engaged to be married to a young man whose name has not yet appeared, attempted to sever her rela- tions with Samuel R. P. Langdon, that the latter threatened to reveal their in- timacy If she did so, fearing such a disclosure, attempted ito kill him and then committed suicide.
 This supposition is borne out by statements made by Mss Addte Grif- fiths, friend of Armies, who was with her the day before her death. She then told Miss Grifiths that Lang don was to meet her that Saturday. night, adding, ''I'm not going to have anything more to do with him. I'll tell him when I see him that I won't keep his company any more" On the same occasion Annie complained of the tooiyhache. Miss Griffiths went with her to a drug store and she asked for some chloroform.

BUROPRAH COAPL LEGATION Threatened by the Nile

 Prot sst.

CAIRO, March 26.-The commission of the Egyptian debt met here today and decided ito advance the $500, ,000 necessary to the expenses of the Brit ish-Egyptian expedition against Don gola. Of the sum needed e2OO,O00 is available immediately.
 The English, German, Italian and Austrian members of the. commission voted to advance the money required. The Russian and French members voted against the proposition, and left the meeting after protesting against the use of the reserve fund for the purpose of the British-Egyp- tian expedition up the Nn.e.
 AS soon as the action of the major tty of the commissioners became known representatives of the Paris syndicate of Egyptian bondholders took steps to institute proceedings be- fore the Egyptian mixed tribunal against the debt commissioners and ministers responsible for the reserve fund.

SOUTH AFRICAN REBELLION
How It Concerns a Former Resident
 of Phoenix

The Matabeles are Geographically reported to be murdering settlers and miners around Gwelo, Matabeleland South Africa. It is near this point that Edward Rebstock, an old Ari- zonan, has a large farm and extensive mining interests. He and about @ hundred other Americans were mem bers of the first invading column sent from Salisbury ,Mas!honaland, against the Matabeles, and it was supposed the natives had been thoroughly subju. gated Thousands of them were en- ployed in the newly opened gold mines at the most pitiful wages and with the jharshest treatment, and it would ap- pear as though they had rebelled against their unwelcomed taskmast- CTS.
 The country is not properly under British government, being the prop erty' of the South Africa Chartered company, of which Cecil Rhodes is the head and after him the country has been officially named Rhodesia. It is this company that sent forth Dr. Jameson on his ill-fated expedition against the Boers.
 Thus another trouble is added to the British cup, already brimming with tribuiations.

SPANISH PATRIOTS.
Urge Their Government ito Prepare for
 Possible War With America.

MADRID, March 26.-A majority of the newspapers here print pessimistic comment upon the Cuban discussion at Washington and point to the fact that three senators upon the joint committee have distinguished them selves by showing ill will for Spain. These newspapers claim this is not a reassuring symptom and urge the gov ernment to prepare for every eventual ity. They declare that while a vote on belligerent rights has not been finally carried, the conflict continues. The press also refers to the fact that the Spanish squadron remains in Spanish waters ready to depart at any moment. The official press, however, takes more optimistic view of the situation.
