CUSE.
Reply to Charges Of Neglect of
American Prisoners.

Durango, Mexico, July 30
John Fl. McCaughau, United
States Consul at this place, has
just prepared an extended re
ply to the charges recently
made against him by the State
Department, at Washington, in
relation TO his action in the
case of several Americans in
Jail here, charged with robbery
from the works of the Iron
Mountain Company, of this
place, with which concern Mr.,
McCaughan is connected.
Mr.. McCaughan states in
answer to the charges, that
when the men were arrested he
turned the matter over to the
Vice Consul here, and says
that he was not responsible for
the delay in bringing the ac-
cused to trail. The prisoners
have now been in Jail for near
ly two years, without trial.

PORT OF TAMPICo.

Superintendent of Texas rail.
roads in local newspapers on
the present status Of the Tam
pico improvements Of the Mex
lean Central. We publish the
main part of Mr.. Davis re-
marks, as being the latest in
formation which we have seen
of the results of the deep water
improvement at Tampico.
The jetty work begins at the
mouth Of the Pauuco River and
extends a distance Of two miles
to the Gulf bar, giving a depth
of % TT. of water at low mean
tide. 1t enables any class of
ocean vessels to come up TO the
wharves at Tampico and dis
charge cargoes without the ex-
pense Of lighterage or transfer
The Panuco River is as wide as
the Ohio, and from so #. to So
#. deep. 1t is navigable for
200 miles from its mouth. Reg
ular lines of steamers and sail
ing vessels ply between Tam
pico, New York, New Orleans
and European ports. Tampico
is the only inland harbor on the
Mexican Gulf. It's situation
renders it free from storms and
protects shipping.
The Mexican Central Tam
pico branch connects with the
main line at Aguas Calientes
and extends through a good
agricultural and mining dis
trict, and gives a direct counec-
ton with the city of Mexico.
This road does a large freight
traffic to and from Tampico, 12
to Is trains per day arriving
and departing from the port.
The Monterey & Mexican Gulf,
from Monterey to Tam
pico, connects at Trevino
with the Mexican Interna-
tional for Eagle Pass and
San Antonio, thus giving 8
short line from deep water, al
ready established to Colorado,
Kansas City and st. Louis, with
cheaper rates than to the north
ern seaboard. The Mexican Cen
trail has just completed survey
through The rich coffee and
vanilla lands of the state of
Vera Cruz from Tampico to the
City Of Mexico. This line will
be several miles shorter than
the present route via Aguas
Calientes, and will add greatly
to the corlmercs that goes
through tbs port Of Talnpico,
and promises TO make That city
one OF the leading cities OH the
Gulf OF Mexico.

DEMoCRATIG DUTY.

LIZ N OC1EA1 II ~ L I.
There is whole lot of rot in
the newspapers as to whether
a sound money democrat should
vote for Mckinley, go fishing on
election day or support the free
silver nominee of his party.
There ought not to be any ques-
tion in the mind of any true
democrat who understands even
the rudiments of his party's
principles. A man who, while
claiming to bs democrat, votes
fer he republican nominee is
guilty of political treason. This
is The mildest term that can be
Used. The country is broad
aud there is no picket guard
on the road out of any political
party aud a man can very easily
sever the ties that bind him 10
any political organization, but
sdoh't let BIN sail under false
scolors. That is piracy.
( Again, it is the duty of every
legal voter in these United
Estates to vote. By doing so
she assumes the responsibility
(which devolves on him by vir
tue of his citizenship. & man
who will hide out in order 10
escape such responsibility is a
coward. Citizenship seems TO
be out poorly understood by a
large number of our country
men. It's privileges they do
not appreciate; It's blessing they
are not. willing to take any
trouble. TO secure, either for
themselves or their children.
They do not seem to know that
the ballot box is their only
pon,offensiYe and defensive,
TO maintain their rights and
liberty.
Il is granted that the Chicago
bbatform is not in accord with
; The sentiments Of sound money
sz1eu. They greatly fear that
the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver, at a ratio OF 10 to 1 /,
will prove disastrous, but ma
Jority of the people Of this
country seem to want TO try
the experiment. A gentleman
of nnimpeachsble character
and distinguished ability heads
the presidential ticket. Consi.
dering The manifest will of the
majority of our fellow citizeus,
we sound money democrats
should vote the ticket and do
what we can to secure its sue
cess aud no sound money man
will stultify himself by taking
chat course.

make me 200 sivler dollars. Anybody
can do this as we'll a. myself under your

silver dollars to any Of Of our ElkpOint
banks, say 90 in silver-or all of it for
that matter-and ask the bank to let
me have gold dollars-dOllars for 1t.
