There was IL secret conference last night
between the governor, Cnited states Mar
shIl Hall of New Mexico and Ad Il. Gen.
Mabry or the Texas Rangers. THIS corIer-
ference was in the nature Of council OF
war, and it is certain that the details or
the campaign We're outlined.
Despite all these hostile movements OF
the Officers or The law the twelve pugiiist>
and their managers maintain IA ,oniidcnt
air, but there Is no use Disgusting the fact
| that they are worried. Dan Stuart appears
serene and happy, but the crowGing to-
| gethcr of SO many bayonets ana SIX
shooters and the stern majesty OF the
laws OF the Two republics, which is just
beginning to grow grave aud sinister to the
promoters of the carnival, have set the
big man thinking. He says, however, that
the fights will take place as scheduled.
AHUMADA SHOWS SPORTING BLOOD.
Gov Ahunada yesterday visited the head
quarters OF Fitzsinmons at Juarez and saw
the Cornish man put through his sprouts
He saw FitZSimmons go at Stelsner anu Nc
Coy, and then remarked that If the fight
occurred on soil other than under his juris-
diction he would like to see it. 4 ticket
To box at the opera house to witness Wal
colt and Dixon spar was sent 10 his cx-
cellency and he accepted.
Capt. Glori took Joe Walcott into sa.
loon yesterday and called fof a glass Of
Apollinaris. While the captain and Wal
colt were standing at the bar a half dozen
Texas rangers entered the place and be-
gan 10 abuse the cOlored lad.
Glori objected, and the spokesman of
the party, dra wing his revolver, told the
companion of WalCott that he had ten no.
tons to one to. blow the head off any
Northerncr that associates with niggcrs.
Glori took walcOtt out. and thus avoided
a shooting scrape. After the Barhadocs
man regained his breath he renla rked that
he had but one grievance in the civil war.
"Dey didn't burn down enough towns"
said he.
A telegram from William A. Brady an
nounces that he will not he AT the ring
side. but that Al. Smith would challenge
the winner on behalf OF Corbett.
SAID DIXON WAS "DoPED."
There was a story afloIt last night 20
the effect that George Dixon had been
''dop,d." to borrow an expression which
is used in the Chinese ard other quarters
of Ell Paso. This was denied.
Col. TaraveZ is in charge of Mexican
soSiiers now in and around JaureZ. There
are 250 soldiers at his command. including
the RuraleZ cavalry and Infantry at the
garrison. The Ruralez are mounted and
are the flower OF the Mexican n sollierv. The
RuralcZ are al points nine miles up the Rio
GraDde and six miles below Jaurez.
From the character OF the country II is
believed the fighters can cross the border,
bring Of the fight and get back /" some
territory before the Mexican soldiers can
reach the battle-ground.
Enoch Rector, the kinetoscope man, says
the fight will take place He says that
through the kinetuscope plan is the only
chance for him to get back his ST., 900 and
