ton was a grand success. The
Merchants brass band in their
new white duck uniforms led the

Dixie. Then the Declaration of
Independence was read by Mr.. T..
NJ. Cox after which MIR. j. c..
Crisp addressed the people and in
a few well chosen words aroused
the emotions OF true American
patriots and then touched upon
some practical topics of interest to
the people Of Beeville and Bee
county.
The barbecue was a decided sue
cess. Everybody was satisfied
and an abundance remained.
In the afternoon the prize races

GLARkSON'S OPINION.
Mckinley VIII Lead at st Louis, but
Allison Will Wtn--ImpOrtanee
OfSilver Vote.

st. Louis, March 3l.--"Nobody will
enter the Republican convention with
votes enough by about 100 or $50 to
nominate him on the fret, second, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth
or tenth ballot. The nominee, therefore,
will be the second choice man. McKin-
ley leads to-day in the matter of instruc-
tions and will hold the lead. Allison is
the strongest second choice and will gain
in strength right along. !, therefore,
predict Allison's nomination" said James
s. Clarkson, of Iowa, member of the Re-
publican national committee, who is here
with other members Of the sub-commit-
tee looking after convention matters.
II have just returned from trip
through the west" continued Mr.. Clark
son. In all the region west Of Nebraska,
the sentiment is yet Uniformed as to the
man. The people of the Pacific coast
and the mountain states are discussing
the great issue, that Of money, and not
men. They will send to St. Louis in
June eighty or 100 delegates instructed
solid for silver, without reference to any
man. That that vote 80 massed will have
to be reckoned with, and that seriously,
nobody of pretensions to political fore
signt or acumen can doubt.
II am assured that Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada and Utah will send
delegations to the convention instructed
for pronounced free silver advocate,
such as Teller or Cameron"

CIVILIZATION IS DISGRACED
Havana Witnesses the Most Shameful
and Sickening Spectacle in
Modern Times.
SPAIN HAS AMPLE REASON TO BLUSH
Five Cubans Strangled in the Most
Awkward and Brutal Manner
The Executioners led-Object
Lesson for the World.

Havana, March 31.--Eever in modern
times has there been more siekening
spectacle than that which to day attended
the public execution of FIVE Cubans, con-
demned to death by garroting as "murder-
ers, violators and incen 1iaries."
The troops we're drawn up in hollow
square and in the middle were placed the
chair and post. Rulze, the pubic execu-
tioner. had deputized an assistant to con-
duct the affair.
The condemned men were brought into
the square. One had confessed his guilt
and affirmed the innocence of all others,
who also protested that they we're guilt
less.
The frat man took his seat in the chair
calmly, the iron collar was fixed about
his neck and the cap drawn over his face.
Then the executioner undertook to ap-
ply the screw, but he was SO excited that
mis- hand slipped repeatedly.
Th, victim died by slow stranguation,
emitting the most distressing cries.
The second execution was accom- pished
with even more distressing Rwkwarkness,
the executioner being almost on the
verge of collapse.
A protest of the officers and priests
forced Ruize to undertake the third exc.
cution, but he did little better than the
assistant had done.
Rniz literally fed from his post, Ieav-
ing the assistants TO put to death the
fifth unfortunate Cuban, who suffered the
same agoniz,ng experiences as the others.

MISLEADING INFORMATION.
Geological Survey Expert ON the lrri.
apttOn water Supply Uf New
Mexico,

Washington, March 30--The agricul-
tural possibilities Of the states and ter
ritories between. the Missouri river and
the Pacific coast have been given exhaus-
tive investigation by the government.
The conolusicns ara embodied in re-
port just completed by the geological
survey. These conclusions do not point
to that future development which has
been freely predicted. 1t ia the opinion
of the expert, Mr.. Newell, that the natural
water supply available to irrigation is
now under employ. There are grave
difficulties in the way of artificial increase
OF this supply through reservoirs. Here
and there new irrigation systems may in
time be developed aud new communities
may be added to the population. But it
appears that, agricplturally speaking,
these states and territories have about
reached their growth.
Seven-tenths OF New Mexico 54,593, ,28O
acres, is still pnblic land. The greater
part Of the vacant laad ls 10 the southern
and southeastern PORTIONS, adjacent to
Texas, also in the northwestern portion,
near the Navajo Indian reservation.
Through the center of the country the
Rio Grande flows.
."This is the principal river says Mr..
Newell, "and is notable not only from
this fact, but from the interstate and in.
ternatioual questions which are becoming
more and more pressing each year. BY the
losses of water bV evaporation in passing
through the broader valleye, combined
with the large diversion of water from
its sources in Colorado through New
Mexico, it's bed is often dry in summer. Az
a result the canals on either side of the riv-
er, rendering habitable the country
about Ell Paso, and the Mexican towns,
do not obtain sufficient supply; and
with the continued diversion above, the
prospect for the future of these towns ia
not bright unless water can be obtained
in some other way or held by storage
DAMS"
"The aggregate water supply of New
Mexico available under ordinary circum-
stances" Mr.. Newell says. "has been esti-
mated to be sufficient for about 10000 900
acres, or about one-ffth Of the land now
in private possession. II is probable
that by the development of wells and by
storage systems considerable area of the
public lands may be reclaimed. The
greater part, however, will probably have
its best use for grazing purposes, and
for the production of frewood and tim
ber."

NATIONAL POLITICS.
THE REEp-m'x1N1EY FIGHT.

Washington Joseph H. Manley, sec-
retary of the national Republican com.
mittee, has sent letter to W. Murray
Crane, of Massachusetts, defining the Re
publican situation ''at the close OF busi-
ness' on Saturday night. He says:
At the close of your convention there
will have been thirty-nine delegates elect
ed. Gov. Mckinley will have 1862 dele
gutes, provided you assign to him the en-
tire delegation from Wisconsin, Indiana
and Minnesota. But there should be
taken from this number twelve delegates
from these states, who have declared since
their election, in favor of Mr.. Reed, and
as they we're not instructed, they should
be taken from the Mckinley column aud
placed in Mr.. Reeds. This gives Gov.
Mckinley $50 delegates, Mr.. Reed ",
Gov. Morton Ga, Senator Allison 38, Sen
ator Quay 26, Senator Cnllom 10 and con-
tested 36.
You will see that this gives Mckinley
$50 delegatessagainst 210 anti Mckinley
delegates.
The situation is precisely as it was
twenty years ago. You will reDemher
that three months before ths convention
met at Cincinnati we were confident OF
MIR. Blalne's nomination. He stood then
as the apostle of protection. but he had
opposed to his nomination Senator Oonk
ling, of New York, Senator Morton, of
Indiana, Secretary Bristow, of Kentucky,
Gov Hayes, of Ohio, and Gov. Hartranf',
of Pennsylvania. We felt 80 sure Of Mr..
Blaine's nomination that we regarded it
as settled, and yet he was defeated in the
convention, and the Maine man went
down before the Ohio governor.
History will repeat itself at st. Louis.
Gov. Mckinley is and will be the leading
candidate in the convention, but he will
have opposed to him as candidates Gov.
Morton, of New York, Senator Allison, of
Iowa, Senator Cnlolm, of Illinois, Senator
Quay, of Pennsylvania, and Mr.. Reed, Of
Maine. You will find that the tables will
be turned and the Ohio governor will go
down before the man from Maine.
