THREE OF. the richest parishes OF
Louisiana have just been inundated by
a break in the western levee thirty-five
miles below Vicksburg. The wors t
feature OF the present overflow lies in
the fact that local planters say the
water will not subside and the ground
be in condition for raising crop this
season. This will cause great deal of
suffering, even if the overflow is not
followed by an epidemic OF disease as
Their result of decayiug organic matter
after the water disappears.

WHAT NIGHT HAVE BEEN.

"
What might have been the result on
the science OF government and on
human affairs generally had the Dutch
established q colony in California as
early as 1859 is a matter Of speculation:
yet that such an event did not occur
was due only to the disobedience of
orders by Dutch commander, Mattlys
Quasi, as is shown by interesting doc
uments in the national archives in the
Hague, just brought to light by Reinier
D. Verbeck, of Hearlem, Holland,
through the columns of the New York
Engineering and Mining Journal. Ac-
cording to these authorities the sue
cess of the Spaniards in obtaining
large quantities Of the precious metals
in Mexico and Central and South
America stimulated tho Dutch East
India company to search for similar
wealth. At the time California, Aus
tralia and the Transvaal lay subject to
their grasp. They actually sent expe-
pitions into the interior OF South Afri-
ca from Cape Town, but failed to find
the gold. In 1912, they discovered Van
Diemsn's Land and New Zealand, and
circumnavigated the continent OF what
was then known as New Holland, but
failed to penetrate into the interior,
where gold was afterward found.
In 1886 William Verstege wrote from
Japan to the governor general Of Bata-
via that many years prior to that date
a vessel sailing from Manila to Nova
Hispania New Mexico) WAS dismasted
in storm on tho Pacific ocean, about
374 degrees north latitude and $50 to
800 miles east of Japan. When the
storm cleared up the vessel sighted .
mountainous island, and put in for
repairs. The people on the island
were fair, we'll proportional and ex-
tremely kind. The crew of this vessel
afterward said that gold and silver
were SO plentiful on the island that one
could pick it up on the shore, and the
inhabitants used kettles and other
cooking utensils made from these me-
tails. The king Of Spain, having hoard
the story, wrote his viceroy in Mexico
to investigate it, and vessel WAS fitted
out and sailed from Acapulco for that
purpose.
AS the Spanish expedition and two
Dutch expeditions OF two vessels. each
sent out later 1889 and 1643) explored
the locality indicated without finding
any such island, and the fleets OF YES
sells passing theresbouts ever since
have never seen 1t, it Is probable that
the island subsidized beneath the seat
it ever existed.
The expedition sent out under Mat
tlys Quasi sailed from Batavia July 2,
1889, with orders to proceed to Japan
and thence along latitude 37} till .thsy
reached. They followed this course
about 900 miles east from Japan, and
then, on account Of sickness on board,
returned home. A second expedition
was sent out on the same quest in 1913,
but without the .order to follow the
line of the American continent. Had
Quasi followed out his orders he would
reach land somewhere In the neiRhbor-
hood oil San Francisco, and tho Dutch
East India company would doubtless
have established . colony on the rich
lands about the bay, and later on have
discovered gold in the streams of the
foothills Of the Sierra Nevada.

LATE dispatches from Athens as
sert thai sit was Germany that urged
Turkey to declare war" and that 1.-THE
German minister at Athens, Baron
Won Piesson, has undertaken to protect
Turkish interests in Greece during the
severance of diplomatic relations be-

whatever may be the designs of Eng

safe to predict that Russia, Austria

fair play until she beats d lite sense

New Demiu9 Road.

The Demiug correspondent of
the Santa Fe New Mexican writes:
Yes, and DeminG is to have q new
railroad, or at least the prospects are
very flattering for one. Some years ago
a roadbed was graded from here south
into Mexico, out the hard times caused
a cessation of work, although tho idea
was not abandoned. Concessions have
been obtained from the Mexican gov
eminent, eastern capitalists secured
large areas of land in that country, and
now the road is to be built. Captain
p. r. Smith Is in the east now complet-
ing arrangements, and his return is
anxiously awaited. Advices from him
have been very encouraging, and every
one here considers the Undertaking
assured. This road will open . vast
country, rich in natural resources, and
make Of Deming one Of the largest
ports of entry in the southwest. The
possibilities for this energetic little
city the bnilding of . southern road
will open up can hardly be enumerated,
and the good people here will take care
of every one of them in good shape.
Should the road be built in the next
two years, Albuquerque will find Q
rival in the territorial cap
ital market, and will have to increase
the cost of that capitol to $500, 600 or
more.
