HAVANA, via Key West, Dec. 27.-
The Christmas saturnalia was brought
TO close by a serious riot. which was
ouelled by the police, who used their
swords.
In accordance with their custom the
Spanish population gathered in the
Parque Central to celebrate Christmas
by dancing and singing songs peculiar
TO various provinces Of Spain. Almost
all were armed with knives and clubs.
fights being frequent between groups
from different provinces. A large force
Of police was present, but there was no
interference with the festivities until
most OF the crowd became frenzied
from drinking aguardlente, and hostile
cries were raised.
Death to Americanslv Down with
autonomy" Down with Blanco!"
"Viva Weylerl" "Viva los Voluntariesw
were some OF the cries. Then the police
closed in, and a squadron OF mounted
gendarmes, drawn up in front OF the
German club, charged with drawn sa-
hers.
A panic ensued the mob. in which
were many women, fleeing In every dl-
rection, but the crowd was hemmed in
on all sides by the police, mounted and
afoot. who struck out savagely with
their swords. This continued until the
mob was thoroughly cowed, many be-
ing wounded, and then the police form
ed a Gordon around the square and pro-
ceeded to make prisoners OF the ring
leaders Of the demonstration.
over 200 prisoners were marched to
the prefectura Among them were many
officers OF the volunteers. on four Of
the officers were found bundles OF cii-
culars declaring Spain's honor had been
compromised by granting autonomy
and calling on all loyal spaniards TO re-
sist to the utmost. Copies Of these cir
culars were also found scattered in the
streets.
II is reported that General Gomez is
again IN the saddle and using all efforts
TO prevent the grinding Of cane. Work
on sugar estates Is practically suspend
ed. The proprietors Of the Caracas es-
tate, the second largest sugar planta-
tion In the world, have been notified
that the slightest attempt TO grind VIII
be the signal for the total destruction
OF this valuable property. The Spanish
troops are chiefly in garrisoned towns
and are unable TO afford adequate pro-
lection. Six estates IN Havana province
were burned last week.
Last evening Captain General Blanco
gave a banquet to the officers Of the
German corvette Stein. Forty guests
we're present, including the Spanish ad-
mlral, the mayor OF Havana and other
naval and civil authorities. Congress

province have been hanged in conform.

| that the entire flow will be taken
| One would imagine from all that has
been said about this, that the one OBJ
ject of the Elephant Butte Dam, was
simply to stop the water and hold
it there, Did it ever occur to you that
wha ever the quantity stored, the
company doing so VIII, in all probabi
lily, turn il loose again in irri @ alton of
the valley beloN il order to get some
return for the large sums OF money
spent in storing it:
If any one engaged in agitation of
this matter does not yet know that
there is more than enough water to ir-
rigate the whole valley from Elephant
Butte to Fort Quitman. Texas, ana that
it may be done from sufficient stor-
age at the former place, the interests
of the valley demand that he at once
inform himself about the situation.
Relying on technical objections, the
opposition has demanded that every
interest of all citizens of New MeXi co
and Colorado to any water in the Rio
Grande be subordinated to the claims
of MeXico-claims which have never
been conceded by any body except the
aliens and their supporters. The opposi-
ton Is not consistent. 1t unwarranted-
ly assumes from the exaggerated
statement in the prospectus of the En-
glish company that the Rio Grande
Dam aid irrigation company will alb
solutely monopOlize the who flow of
the Rio Graude. This it condemns of
course. But 1t unblushingly proposes
in the next proposition to transfer this
monopoly from Elephant Butte to Ell
Paso.
Until compe led to do 50 in self de-
Tense we had nothing to say relative to
the construction of the International
dam. 1t is true that it would reduce
by nearly one half the area proposed
for irrigation by Us; not including 25.-
600 acres in the reservoir site at FL
Paso.
But we have never considered that
there is any proba bility that the Ell
Paso dam will be built. We have al
ways proposed to irrigate the valley
below Ell Paso if the FL Paso dam is
not built. In any case, there was never
any reason, so far as quantity of water
is concerned, for the opposition by the
projectors OF the international dam. 1t
would now be much more favorable
for the latter ii it had not occurred,
In our opinion, the present action of
the government in seeking TO secure an
injunction against US will result in alb
solute confirmation of our rights by
the courts.
The whole case now rests on the
question of the navigability of the Rio
Grande.
AS before intimat the question of
navigation, the poiut at issue to be de-
termined by the hearing at Silver City
on June IA, was avoided in the article
in the Times referred to. The whole
space Is devoted to irrevela1t matter
calculated to prejudice the company's
case. The people are eXhorted to win
the fight and Il mass meeting is sug-
gested. And for what. Well sir, TO
l. IL.
is navigable.
This is the desperate measure now
necessary to head off the blilding OF
The Elephant Bate Dam. Every hing
else has failed. So this will.

THAT CRITICAL SITUATION.
Engineer Campbell Answers The
Times Article on the Dam.

To the HERALD:-In the Ell Paso
Times OF June + h under the caption of
"A Critical Situ4Jion,' 1t appears that
there are a few persons who are quite
anxious to prostitute the functions of
national government to the defeat of
the enterprise OF the Rio Grande Dam
and Irrigation company-an enterprise
that has received the sanction of that
government and tae laws OF New Mex
leo.
The weakness of the fight that is be-
ing made against said company is evil
dent in the fact that the ground on
which the suit for injunction is based
has been avoided in the article referr-
ed to. The effect of the latter, if it has
any, is to prejudice the public against
the company. No exception could be
of the Rio Grande Dam and Irrigation
Co. The objections to the articles
of the Rio Grande irrigation and Land
company are not pertinent to the point
involved in the suit for injunction
The latter company is the Lon1on or
ganizatiOn that has leased the rights
and property of the former. The
claims OF its prOspectorS are subordinate
to the articles controlling the opera
tions of the Rio Grande Dam and Irri-
CATION company. An investigation of
all public re lords of the latter compa-
ny will show that all its actions aud
intentions are within the limits grant
ed by law. IT DOES NOT CLAIM THE
RIGHT AND HAS NEVER PROPOSED TO
CONTROL THE ENTIRE FLOW OF THE
RIO GRANDE. 1t could not do the lat
ter even had it the right and desii e.
There is too much water. In the
appIicat ons OF the Rio Grande Da IN
and Irrigation company to the interior
de partment for its dam and reservoir
rights full and specific data and atfi-
davits of the capacity OF the reservoir
and the quantity of wa,e~ desired for
appropriation are given. 1t Is Il mat
ter OF simple ca cuIdtioHs to prove thas
the annual flow of the Rio Gcaude is
four times the volume required to fill
the proposed reservoir at Elephant
Butte. 1t is only fair to presume that
tt esq are fdciS that have escaped the
close scrutiny that Col. ILLS and 9TH
ers Interested in tue building of the
International dam have given the af-
fairs of the Rio Grande Dam and Irri-
CATION company. They Yet appear to
e under the delusion that the Elephant
Butte dam will forever stop the river
