WAsnINGTON. Feb 20 delegate Ga
ron of New Mexico il greatly dis
pleased ovcr the assertion that nc has
been acting under the advice of Gov
erDor Thornton OF New Mexico in his
efforts to- prevent prize fighting in the
Territory. Mr.. tatron not only denies
that he has received the governors
cooperation. but makes the direct
charge that the Governor abetted
Dan Stuart in his efforts to pail off the
fight.
Mr.. Carton gave the following TO
the press. ''Ihc statement has been
published substantially that the action
taken by me on the prize lighting bill
was on the advice and AZ the request
Of Governor Thornton. Governor
Thornton never consulted with me,
never advised me nor requested me to
Ito anything IN regard To- that subject.
From information which ! have re-.
ceived from New Mexico | believe
that Governor Thornton, while
pretending that he would like
10 stop the fight. was actually
acting in collision with Dan Stuart in
order to have the fight come off; had
advised Stuart that there was no law
in New Mexico which would enable
him or the authorities 20 stop the
iight and substantially informed
Stuart that the fight might go on,
although he conld not openly consent.

Consul General Nifquain Makes ~ Re-
port to the state Department.
WASHINGTON, Feb 10 "A report has
been made to the State department by
United State Consul General Nifauain
at Panama, upon the business of the
Panama railroad and the prospects of
the cana !. lie shows that there is a
small hut steady increase in the num-
Der of American steamers anchoring
at Panama. They carry twice as
much cargo rs all the other steamers
In five years the number of arrivals of
American vessels has increased from
tifty-tive To cighty.onc, while the ar
rivals of English steamers in the same
time increased from scvcnty.two to
only eighty-four.
The consul general says the trade
across the isthmus would be much
larger il the railroad rates were lower.
Mr.. Nifquain says: Under n foreign
ownership and "A foreign management,
the American corporation known as
the Panama Railroad company will
continue to thrive whether there be q
canal or not. greatly TO the detriment
Of American interests, commercial and
international, inasmuch as European
tendencies seem bent. either for self
preservation or International jealousy,
to undermine and destroy the United
States prestige i'm this part of the
world. My firm belief is that there
will be a canal built within the next
decade"

hension and the gravity of the situa.

stated. There is "A conccDsus Of opin-
ion that a crisis is at hand. Gen. Wcy-
Ter has left Porto Rico for Havana.
il is not alone the approach of the
new commandcr.in chief that causes
anxiety and intensitics feeling, but
the general consciousness that the
military. political and financial strain
is too severe to last long.
The Spanish opinion is that real war
is about to- be made. and that in a
brief campaign IL will be shown that
the march Of the insurgents through
the island could not have happened IL
the regular army had been actively
handled
The Cubans claim that they grow
stronger in the field and that the
rebel forces are being strengthened
10y bands from the east that will
balance the additional troops from
Spain. 1t would be vain to assert in
dividual views as to the value of these
claims. one thing is certain, the on
ccntration of the armies in the Prov
incc of Havana promises combats of
increasing importance and decisive re-
suits before the end of March.
The cN%citability Of the svm%pathiAers
with the insurgents about General
Wcylcr is almost incredible. His com
ing is a nightmare to the Cuban
autonomists. who anticipate relentless
persecution and are largely. according
to their ability, taking refuge in the
