1t is claimed by the leaders of
the movement to send troops
from Colorado to fight for Gu
ban independence that more
than 1000 names have been en-
rolled.
John McAndrews, middle of
the road populist candidate for
attorney general at the recent
election, has been chosen COM
mander, with the title of col
onel. In ref, renee to their plans,
Mr.. MeAndrews said: The
volunteers will not leave Den
yer in small bodies and by
stealth, as was originally pro-
posed, neither are they likely
to go to The gulf coast on rail
road trains. Instead they will
move overland on foot or on
horse back. picking up the trib
utary armies along the line
of march, until reaching Flori
ia, they will have swrlled 10
such a mighty host that The
United States authorities will
not care to interfere with their
embark ment for Cuba"
Colonel McAndrews further
asserted that interference with
their plans would, lie believed,
preeipitate a revolution in this
country.

IF II BE TRUE.

Ouce it be clearly proven
that Weyler has added to bis
already odiUus reputation that
of treachery, by the assassina
ton of Maceo while under a
flag of truce, there will not re.
main an honest man in the
world who would willingly
touch his blood-stained band.
IF it be true that he has resort
ed to such low means TO ac-
complish the downfall of a
brave Joe, Spain herself must
repudiate the deed, and instead
Of promotion for the instrument
through which it was done, dis
grace must be his punishment.
Surely Spain must weep for a
deed which casts such odium
upon her cause. And indeed,
if the charge be true, she will
have cause to weep for more
than the blot upon Der honor,
for, if Antonio Maceo has fallen
through treachery, by the as
sassin's hand, his blood, will
incite the Cubans and their
sympathizers to still greater
efforts in their fight for liberty.
1t will add to their cause a
thirst for revenge which will
only be quenched by victory.

owned some coal lands at San
Tomas, IS miles up the Rio
Grande. The late A. G. Hunt,
ex-governor of Colorado, then
connected with the Mexican
National, leased these lands
and built a narrow-guage rail-
road from Laredo to them.
That road and the mines are
now operated by Mr.. c. B.
Wright, jr., of Philadelphia.
He furnishes coal to several
Mexican and Texas railroads.
The San Tomas vein of
coal extends across the Rio
Grande to the town of Colum-
bia, and south and west to the
town Of Juarez, Goa, and down
the Rio Grande to Camargo.
1t is doubtful if there is
another state in the republic
that is as rich in coal as Tam
aulipas. Coal underlies the
surface of the ground from Col
umbia, on the Rio Grande, to
Reynosa, on the lower Rio
Grande, and then south to the
San Nicolas and San Carlos
districts, and along the eastern
and northern boundary of the
state of Nuevo Leon.

and his associates broke

and Victoria, the capital of the
state. That road was to
pass over the rich coal fields.
After grading 10 miles
and laying three mics of
track work was suspended,
and few years later the depot
and warehouses at Nuevo La
redo and the completed track
and material on the ground
were sold to the Mexican Ma
tional. Last year the govern
ment granted a concession to
American capitalists to build a
railroad from a point in Chi
huahua to Nuevo Laredo, and
from there down the Rio Gran
de to Matamoros, then to Soto
la Marina and Tampico. The
line of this road is practically
the same as that of the Gould
party. If it is built it will open
up some of. the richest coal
fields, agricultural and fruit
district in Mexico.
