STORAGE RESERVOIRS.

Denver, Col, Dec. 12.-Capt. Chit
tenden, of the corps of engineers of
the United States army, has arrived
in Denver and called at the Office or
State Engineer Summer to look over
the typographical advantages of Col
orado, with a view of selecting site
for n great water storage reservoir.
Capt. Chitenden's mission is one of
extraordinary importance to the ag-
ricultural interests of Colorado, and
marks the commencement of federal
interest in western irrigation projects.
The idea is to establish a government
storage reservoir or lake in the noun
tains on the eastern side of this di-
vide, which will save huge volumes
OF water which is now going to waste.
The project will, when completed,
open up vast tracts of arid land and
put it in a condition to work.

theological tenets are such as are
readily accepted by all evangelist

cooperate in all Christian work. The
stars and stripes have been adopted
as the banner of the organization and
will be carried in all parades, side by
side with the national emblem of the
Volunteers.

TURKEY TALKS.
SAYS THE MISSIONARIES INOITE
REBELLION IN TURKEY.
Strong Protest to the American Govern
ment and Intimation That Some
thing Must Be Done.

New York, Dec. 12.-The Worlds
Washington correspondent, speaking
of the charges alleged to have been
filed against American missionaries,
together with the protest of the sui
tan against Cleveland's message,
said: The allegation against DR..
Meyers Hamlin, is that he was identi-
fed with the famous political organ
ization whose avowed object was to
overthrow the present Turkish en-
pire. DR.. Hamlin is accused of assist
ing in the formation of this party and
assisting it in 1898. He told the Ar
menians that the European powers
would relieve them from the tyran-
nous work of Turkey.
Doctors Dwight and Washburn,
the Turkish government, claims have
wilfully misrepresented facts during
the massacres and are to a great eX-
tent responsible for the bitter feel
Washburn is thatcmfw yptharodarth
ing against Turkey. The charges
against Drs. Dwight and Washburn
are that they represented that the Tur-
kish guard especially delegated by the
sultan to protect Roberts college dur
ing the massacre, took part in the
slaughter, which charge, it is said,
against these guardsmen, upon inves-
tigation. proved false, as they were
not even found guilty of misde-
meanor.
In regard to these complaints Mus
fpy hn to, e..I a. 4, n
n voluminous amount of documen-
tary evidence to show that the Arme-
mans have been melted to rebel
lion against their lawful government
by missionaries, among whom there
are many Americans.
The distinct assertion is made that
the sultan has found that the princi-
pie conspiratOrS in every part of the
empire have been with a few eycep-
| tons either students or former stu
dents Of Roberts college.
The Turkish government concludes
| that the missionaries work has been
| more of political than of a religious
| nature and that instead of laboring
| to ameliorate the condition of the peo-
pie they have devoted their efforts
/ W thNli law
| full government.
Secretary Olney was surprised at
the vehemence of the Turkish minis
| ter and the protest of the sultan, al
so at the complaints.
He asked the Turkish minister if
it were not true that many thousands
of Armenians had been killed by the
| Turks. The minister replied that
some Of the Armenians had fallen
victims to the fury they had raised
and he said that President Cleveland
must make known to the American
people the nature of the terrible af-
fairs that had aroused the Turkish
fury. The minister then said that the
Sublime Porte was preparing in Con-
stantinople n strong note of protest
which would be sent to him and by
him delivered to the secretary of
state. The minister hoDed that il
would he given respectful considera-
ton and that the incident would not
disturb the friendly relations Of the
two governments.
Secretary Olney understood from
| this that if something is not done,
Mustapha Bey will be recalled.

THE PARADE.

The beginning of military operations,
the grand street parade, took place
exactly at 2:10 p. m. The column
moved from Avenue + and Avenue ID
led by the mounted police and chief
Marshal Watts and the Fifth cavalry
band. The route of the parade was
down Houston street to Avenue C and
through Travis street and st. Mary's
up to and through Houston street to
Alomo ploza. Around the plaza the pa
rade wound Until Commerce street
was reached and the length of this
street was traversed until Main and
Military plaZas were entered and then
the procession moved over to Dwyer
avenue to Gilbeau street from where
it entered South Flores street and pro-
ceeded to Mitchell street. From
Mitchell street the procession passed
to the San Juan road and entered Riv-
erside park by the old gateway south
of Mission Conception.
In the parade were the infantry, ca
valry and artillery of the United
States post, the officers of the state
militia and Belknap Rifles. San An
tonic Zouaves, and West Texas Ca
diets. Madame Candelaria occu-
pied a carriage in the line and was
followed by the Sons of Hermann
lodge. the Texas Confederate Veter-
ans and General Santa Annals sol
diers. The parade in point of num-
bers and military and civic bodies
participating was rather disappointing
to the thousands who viewed it, and
the absence of visiting militia was
generally commented upon. No acct
dent married the progress and except
the dust encountered upon the road,
the march was not unpleasant.
