Interior Custom Houses Abolished.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The
adjustment of Mexican custom
houses in the interior of the
country, to take effect July l, next,
the beginning of the new fiscal
year, is announced in a communi-
cation to the postoffice department
here, from the director general of
the postoffice department of
Mexico. Hereafter, the Mexican
custom houses will exist only on
the frontier and at all the ports.
This notification is directed to
secure the cooperation of all post
masters in this country, in for
warding only "unsealed" parcels
as post packets, though this gov
eminent, ever since the parcels
post treaty was entered into, has
never allowed the transmission Of
such across the border.

Bows Hand Cut.

A Mexican named Jose Garcia
was fined $40 by the recorder today
for disorderly conduct by cutting
the hand of ten-year old Mexican
boy with butcher knife. The
offense was committed last night.
Garcia works at the chile stand on
Paschal square. The boy held the
blade of the knife in his hand,
when Garcia, in a fit Of anger,
ierked 1t out Of his hand. The
blade was very sharp and cut the
child's hand to the bone. While the
wound was being dressed at Camp
BELLS drug store, Garcia hid the
knife The affair might have been
explained as an accident had it not
been for the adverse presumption
created by this act.

ing, but which work was stopped on rep
reservations of Judge Callaghan and Mr.
Kampmann, will be removed and the
work on the building suspended.
The city public i'm Drovement committee
has received word from Mr.. Mobley, the
state building superintendent, advising a
suspension of the work until Governor
CulberSon can make personal investiga-
ton. which he says, will be in about from
80 to 60 days, when the governor will visit
San Antonio.
In support of Rev. Roses and the pub
lie improvement committees idea regard
ing the removal of the blue stucco or
calsomine placed on the walls by the late
Mr.. Grenet, copy of Raines, Biblio-
graphy of Texas has been secured, which
shows a photograph of an old drawing
on file in the state archives at Aus
tin, of the Alamo as it stood Just
photo is the only official one eXtant and
shows the Alamo with the stones bare as
Mr.. Rose intends they should be made
after the work has been completed. The
top of the front wall is rough and jagged,
and the interior, as shown in another
view, is very much wrecked. There are
a great many more exterior carvings
shown than exist In the present structure.
A lady who is in the city today remem-
bers the Alamo nineteen years ago, when
she came here, as of sky blue color,
with a row of blue barrels placed along
the top OF the front wall, by Mr.. Grenet.

THE TOURIST HOTEL.
APPRAIsEMENT OF THE MENGER
PROPERTY.
Business Mems Club Directors Recognize
The Investment Officially and Rec
ommend It to Investors.

A meeting OF the Business Mems
club directors was called yesterday
afternoon and the report OF the
appraisement committee on the
tourist hotel proposition was re-
ceived.
The following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas, the necessity for a
new and modern hotel in San An
tonic is unanimously admitted,
and,
"Whereas, the appraisement of
the Menger hotel property, ex-
elusive of good will, as returned
by the appraisement committee
of the Business Mems club is as
follows:
"'The committee appointed to
value what is known as the Men,
ger hotel property beg to report
the following:
"The property consists of an
entire block with the exception of
about 50x70 feet fronting on
Crockett street, near the back end.
1t has a frontage of about 900 feet
on Alamo Plaza by a depth of over
800 feet. We place the value of
property without improvements at
$l32, 600 We find it very difficult
to. arrive at the value of the i'm
provements, furniture and equip
ments, which can be utilized in
the proposed new building.
"'After a careful calculation from
data accessible we place the value
of the improvements which are to
remain on the property at $4,000,
and the value of material from
buildings to be torn down, which
can be utilized, at $4,000. We
place a value on all the hotel
equipments of $l7 400, making the
total value of the property to be
$215,000.
"'E. B. CHANDLER,
GET. G. LAMBETH,
"ANEL MEERsCHEIDT,
"HENRY PAULY.'
Therefore, be it resolved. That
the proposition submitted by Mr..
Kampmann to the citizens regard
ing the proposed new hotel be and
the same is hereby recommended
to the investment public and the
hope expressed that the requisite
encouragement will be extended"

Peculiar Engineering.

To the Daily LIGHT:
AT the crossing of Com merce and
Navarro streets there Is a 40-inch
main sewer. This 40-inch main
sewer continues down Navarro and
Garden streets, where, at the inter
section Of Garden and South Alamo
streets, a 24.inch sewer unites with
the 40-inch. Then the combined
contents of the 40.inch and the a.
inch are run into one 3S.inch
sewer. 1t gets small by degrees
and beautifully less.
Below there, on Garden street,
another 3S.inch sewer, from the
Flores street and trans-San Pedro
districts, unites with the 3S-inch
