MEXICAN COLONIZATION.
Rules That Govern the Admission of
 Settlers

As there are now many Americans looking toward Mexico as very land of promise, the laws of the republic bearing on the subject of the repub- lies colonization laws are a matter of general interest.

SCANDAL CAUSED IT.
Trouble in Wilheim's Court Over
 Anonymous Letters

BERLIN, April 11.-Baron Won Schrader's wound was operated upon during the day and physicians in at tendance came to the conclusion that there is no chance of his recovery.
 Emperor WiLliam has been notified of the duel It is said Von Kotz will not be arrested until his majesty has been heard from the scandal which gave rise to his series of duels. They began nearly five years ago, when high court personages, male and fe- male, old and young, began receiving anonymous letters or postal cards, call ing their attention to this or that es- capade upon theiI,-yn part, or on the part of relatives or friends. Various wives became separated from their husbands, and mothers and fathers discarded their children, nearly every body of importance being scorched more or less by the venom of the anonymous writer, who was evidently a person thoroughly familiar with all the details of court life, and soon began to look askance at their best friends.
 Suspicion fastened itself upon Count Von Kotz, one of the court chamber lains. Finally a volunteer spy de- nounced him to the court authorities on the ground that on plotting paper pad of letter packet used by the count he had found a clear reproduc- tion of one of the anonymous com munications.

ARMOR PLATE FRAUDS.
The Senate Inquiry Reaches No Con-
 c.usion.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The com miutee on naval affairs in the senate had a secret session today for the pur- pose of considering the testimony taken in connection with the armor plate investigation.
 The only definite conclusion reached was not to interfere with the secretary of the navy in making contracts for armor for the Kentucky and Kear- sarge, but to allow these to be given to private firms as heretofore. These vessels are so far advanced that any interference would cause delay in their completion and this the committee is not willing ito be responsible for.

Insurgents Destroy Valuable

HAVANA, April 11.-General Oli- yer, near Camajuani, Santa Clara, had a severe engagement with 600 insur- gents under Jose Gonzales, resulting in the defeat of the insurgents, with loss of thirty killed and many wound ed. The troops lost fifteen killed and twenty-six wounded.
 The insurgents drew the troops into an ambuscade in densely wooded ra- vine. Behind earthworks, completely masked with brush, the insurgents awaited the troops. Scouts sent for ward by the Spanish commander were allowed to pass, but when the troops were well inside the ambuscade a dy- namite bomb was suddenly hurled into their ranks, killing several men and wounding a number of others, besides almost causing panic. At first the Spanish infantry gave way, being tak- en completely by surprise and seeing many soldiers falling, without being able to do more than fire, apparently into the bushes, from which came flashes of flame which told of the pres ence of insurgents.
 Later, however, the troops were ral- lied and made splendid dash over the earthworks, driving the insurgents before them alt the point of the bayonet and shooting them down as they fled Thus the enemy was quickly silenced
 The insurgents have burned the ma chinery house of the central planta- tions of Diana Borbon near Moralito the approximate loss being $1, 300, ,000 The insurgents have also burned 9O,OOO tons of cane on plantation near Santa Gertrudes belonging to An tonto Gonzales Mendoza.

born politician, wildly enthusiastic and patriotic and upon this particular election seemingly hinged the very liberties of the constitution of Hidalgo.
 Not unnaturally there were two par ties at the election, both local, as the event was purely municipal. One of the parties got out early in the morn ing and captured the ballot box and polling place, displacing the regularly appointed officers of election.
 The elections down 'Jlhere, it seems, are conducted upon plan not widely dissimilar to the Australian ballot system. The tickets are in the hands of only the election board. So, when a voter would materialize to him would be propounded the question: ''What ticket do you want?" If the ticket de- sired were that of the opposition, the citizen would be informed that that ticket could not be voted at that poll ing place and that he had better hunt up place where it could be deposited Of course there was no other legal place i'm town.
 About noon telegraph message was sent the governor of Sonora that a large portion of the citizens of No gales were being deprived of the elect i've franchise by means unfair. The answer returned was peculiarly Mex ican. It advised the voters that they could go to Magdalena, sixty miles distant, and there their votes would be received and counted as though at home A special train was forthwith chartered on the Sonora railroad and run at perilous speed ito Magdalena where the excursionists cast 3S0 votes 1 for their ticket and returned, conf dent of triumph, for in the whole town only a few more than 400 voters had been registered.
 But the tourists had not figured thah the party so adroit at taking the polls might be as good at counting. The ballot box at Nogales yielded no Jess than 800 straight ballots and the Mag. dalena ticket was thus ignominiously defeated. The matter is understood to have been taken up with the state and national governments, but no re suit has been reached and to the vic tors still appertain the spoils.

A PRECIOUS BLACK THING.

The largest black diamond ever seen was found by digger in July last in the diamond fields of Bahia. It weighs 2O73 carats. Its hardness is greater than that of a brilliant and for this reason it has great industrial value. It presents a surface partly smooth and partly corrugated. The three largest of the species previously found weighed 62O, BIO and 1700 carats, and the latter was not free from flaws. The present specimen is as big as large pear and is apparently perfect.

An expert is now making close inspection of the Oregon Short Line and it is known that Vanderbilt now owns the Oregon & California, and the purchase of the Union Pacific would give Vanderbilt exclusive control of a line from New York ito San Francisco.

 THE SISTERS HOSPITAL A Local Institution of
 Merit. Caring for Those Who Lack
 Homes. Work of the Devoted Women Who Constitute the Sisters of Mercy,

In Churchill addition, in the north eastern part of the city, stands a sol- idly built structure, brOad porched and square -roofed, built and now occupied by the Sisters of Mercy as a hospital. The work of this order, devoted ever to the purpose of humanity, is unob- truSive, yet few are there in Phoenix who do not know their deeds of mercy, in keeping with the name the order has assumed The Sisters, black robed and sedate, are yet even the more womanly and pitying by their sacred connections, and he who is n1inistered unto by them soon learns what is meant by divine compassion.
 Till the hospital was established there was no place in the city where sick strangers might be properly cared for, but now a glimpse at the spotless c0unterpanes and comfortable rooms is enough to show that even a greater comfort than that of many a home may be found at a public hospital. At present the hospital has accommoda- tions for only fifteen patients, mainly in separate rooms, though several ward rooms have been provided Al most at all times every bed ts occupied and the good Sisters hope that matters may soon be so shaped that 8, large addition may be made to the present structure and the work thus be ex- tended to meet all demands upon them The staff of the hospital corps con- sfsts of Sister Mary Lawrence and four assistants, all in turn under command of Mother Paul, mother superior of the | order in Phoenix, though immediately in charge of the convent and school on Monroe street. All are of the cheeriest and the visitor who believes that a r. ligious profession inelines toward mel ancholy is in them agreeabgy disap- pointed. The hospital, too, is not con- ducted on prominently relisiosls lines, end it is probable that three-f fdllrths of the patients are of diverse faiths from
 that of the Sisters.
 1 It would seem that these ehheery sur- roundings must have an effect upon the
 patients. They are to be folnd in convalescence upon the broad porches
 in all attitudes of comfort, interested ever in the view that now in the i spring+time is one of unusual beauty,
 with the town canal flowing below,
 fringed by giant cottonwood trees and
 to the north the open country that
 ends in the purple haze of rhe distant
 hils.

OVER THE HERRING POND Another Consumption Cure Discovered. Emperor William Visits His
 Peers. A Serious Scandal Tn the German Court-The South African
 War.

BERLIN, April 11.-Intenlse interest has been. aroused in medical and other circles here by the announcement of a young physician, Erich Langheld, at the international physicians congress at W.esbaden today, that he had dis covered new remedy for tuberculosis, named ''anti- -Microbia." It's principal ingredients, it appears, are ozone and codliver oil, applied by subcubaneous injection
 In his experiments of lthe past five years, he explained, the greatest diff ficulty to overcome was that of keep ing the ozone pure and easily avail able. Of ninety cases of tuber culosis he located in the Moabite hospital dur ing the past year, all have been cured.
 Professors Gerhardt and Senator fully confirmed the foregoing state ment.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR PLANTERS AS
ISOLATION.

Agriculture is the solid founda-
ton of the prosperity of these Isl
ands. 1t is also the foundation of
the prosperity of all countries
which are on a solid basis. What
we can by care get from the soil
is what is lasting. Any manufac-
ture may die out, but the product
of the soil never disappoints.
\ fair example from our own
history may be taken. During the
fifties these Islands depended upon
the whaling industry. Agriculture
for profit was practically at a dis,
count. a few men struggled with
the agricultural problem, but the
bulk of the population conferred
their thought upon the whaling in
dustry. In 1871 that came to an
abrupt close. 1t had dwindled for
years, but the loss OF thIrty-three
ships at one fell swoop drove over
thousand sailors out of employ
ment and cost Honolulu an income
of over 100000 a year AgricuI-
ture stepped in and gave the conn
try its present prosperity. The
whaling industry was ephemeral,
the agricultural industry is solid.
OF the agricultural industries of
the country sugar is and must re
main for years the chief staple.

place as second in rank, but it IS

putting the cable fortunes eXclu-
sively in the hands Of either one.
Hawaii wants a cable, but why
should this little country be called
upon TO give mp its body and soul
and await the pleasure or success
Of d private corporation! Hawaii
has headed the cable agitation for
the last quarter century. Every
capitalist knows our people are
prepared to be more than generous
with anyone Offering a definite
guaranteed proposition. Wouldn't
it be well for the capitalists TO
storm the legislative citadels Of the
nations on either side of the Pacific
before making such sweeping re
quests Of this country!
Geographically Hawaii Is SUI
fcientIy strong to make Its own
terms, and only political considera-
tons should influence the Govern
ment to withhold from drawing
general franchise that shall beopen
TO the first applicant. The Repub-
lie has taken upon itself to assist
in the maintenance of the strength
of American power in the Pacific,
and it is almost a national neces-
sity that the cable, when laid,
should be controlled by Ameri-
cans. But no American corpora
ton has the right to ask that the
Government should dance attend
ance on one exclusive combination
for the next five years, with the
possibility that it may still be
dancing and have nothing but dis
appointed hopes to show for it at
the end of that period.

objects were to determine the pitch

interval between the two notes of its

served. and occasionally the call was
treble instead of double, three distinct
notes being heard; but the conclusion

of two notes the interval is minor
