A CASE OF LEPROSY.
The Optic Reports That Real Case
Of the LOathsOme Disease Exists
in New Mexico.

The territorial board of health has re-
Gently received a report of case of lep-
rosy existing in this territory. The vic.
tim is Mexican man living hundred
miles or so from any railroad and near
no large town. The case has been in
spected by clever physician who has
seen the disease in other countries and ls
sure of his diagnosis, says the Las Vegas

to be no way in which the case can be
isolated and properly cared for.
statute of six or eight years ago provides
for an unpaid health officer in each conn

! At this time, the best that could be
done would be for the county commits
sioners of that county to appointa local
health officer and themselves effect the
isolation of this sufferer.
1t ls doubtful if any of the few hospit.
ais in the territory could take in this
case, even if the people of the larger
towns would consent to its deliberate
bringing into their community.
That the case appears to be genuine
leprosy will readily be understood by
physicians, when it is stated that the
mans fingers and toes have dropped off,
that swellings characteristic of the dis
ease have occurred aud that various
spots of his skin are anasthstic, that is,
without feeling.
1t is not known whether leprosy has
been seen before in New Mexico, but it
exists iu Old Mexico, New Orleans, San
Francisco and other parts of the United
States. But it is the aim of modern sani.
tary science to prevent the establishment
of this dreaded disease in America, with
its horrors, as they prevailed in the orient

formation published from time to time
in the United States, many people come
or contemplate coming to this country
who ought never to have left or leave
their homes. Such action is detrimental
not only to the people themselves, but to
Mexico as we'll. The opportunities here
for some chances are excellent, for Others
they are not.
In order that truthful and accurate in
formation may be available to all such
persons, this paper will undertake to an
swer through its colums such reasonable
questions concerning the resources, ad-
vantages and opportunities of Mexico as
may be propounded, to the end that pros
pective immigrants orinvestors may learn
in advance the precise facts, and not
ascertain them when too late.
This information will be furnished un-
der governmental sanction, and its ac-
curacy and reliability will be unques-
toned. The managing editor of this pa
per, in personal interview with Senor
Ignacio Mariscal, secretary of foreign
affairs, was authorized by him to state
that the Mexican government will esteem
it kindness if you will give this com
munication publicity in your columns.

Effort Being NEade to Prevent Transfer

Federal Courts.

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 13.-Judge Henry
Keeler, of this city, who wasinstrumental
in securing the appointment of receiver

transfer of the case to the federal court.
He appeared before Judge Myers at

WARLIKE RUMORS ARE AWNING
Report That Army and Navy Are Max
ing Preparations for Possible
Trouble with Spain.
COAST DERENSES BEING STRENGTHENED
War Department Denies Story That
Conference Has Been Had with
Railroads As to oMoving Troops
sfPsA to Southern States.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: While
the navy is being placed on war footing
in anticipation of possible trouble with
Spain, growing out of the Cuban rebel
hon, the army is equally active in its war
like preparations, especially along the
south Atlantic coast.
Gen. Craighill, chief of engineers OF the
army, has just returned from hurried
inspection of the Notifications in the
course of construction at Galveston, Tex;
Fort San Philip, on the Mississippi river,
below New Orleans; Mobile, Alabama;
Pensacola, Key West and further inland
The works of coastwise defense have
been quietly but rapidly pushed toward
com pletion and Gen. Craighill has report
ed to the secretary of war that nearly all
of them will be ready for occupancy on
December Is.
DENIAL OF wARLIKE RUMoRs.
Concerning the report
that the war department, because of pos
sible trouble with Spain, has been making
inu uiries of the trunk line railroads, run
ming to the gulf coast and along the
southern seaboard, as to the facilities for
moving war supplies, it can be stated
that the only inquiry made the past year
by the war department on this subje
was one intended to ascertain the cost OF
executing the orders made about six
weeks ago by the secretary of war, look
ing to the annual exchange of stations OF
troops. OF course this had no warlke
purpose.
A fiat denial is also made by the best
authority to the sensational story that the
state department has warned Spain
against further outrageous treatment OF
American commercial agencies doing
business with Cuba.
DENIAL FROM SPAIN.
Senior Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish
minister, to-day showed the following
cablegram from the Spanish minister OF
foreign affairs: "Cablegrams from New
York and Washington, published in Lon
don, referring to the supposed notes OF
Mr.. Taylor and the Spanish government
are entirely false. There is not this
slightest foundation for such rumors
which are undoubtedly of filibustering
origin.

band of mercy. "The crimes with which
the world is cursed" "she said, "are crimes
of cruelty. Eliminate that hideous ele
ment and the worst crime wonld cease to
exist. We can do great deal of pre-
ventative work if we can reach the rising
generation and can educate ourselves"
Miss Flancis e. Willard, national pres
dent, called the gathering to order. She
was received with a salute of waving
handkerchiefs.
The executive committee reported that
it was decided to make March 2, the birth
day of Gen. Neal Dow, prohibition rally
day.
Miss Willard made an address. She
mentioned the previous convention held
here in 1884 and added: "We have
marched far since that; the alignments Of
parties have changed; the labor move
ment has taken on proportions so vast
that no one speaks lightly of it any more
The people are forging to the front, mis-
guided often into making pitiful paths il

Miss Willard said that the Worlds

colony in Cyprus for the women and
children.

THE CRIMINAL BUDGET.
Train Wrecked in Alabama by Ban.
dtts-Three Persons Seriously
Hurt-Escaped from Jail.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 13.-The 2:SO
train from Louisville on the Louisville &
New Orleans road, bound for New Or
leans, was wrecked this morning four
miles from this place, in very wild
country, by train robbers.
The engineer saw the obstruction on
the track too late to stop the train which
went crashing down steep embankment.
A rail had been torn up and nailed down
again three or four inches out of line.
The train, comprising two mail coaches,
a baggage car and two first-class coaches
was completely wrecked
Three persons we're seriously injured,
John Thawatt, of Atlanta, bound for Dal-
las, Texas, and W. G. McGovey, of Mon
roe, being the most seriously hurt.
Two other passengers, pinned under
the smoking car, were released only after
hours of hard work. Their names could
not be ascertained.
Blood hounds have been set on the trail
of the wreckers. Suspicion rests on a
colored track walker captured near the
place.
