First cavalry, returned today from ten
day march on FIVE days emergency rations
The march was made as a test. The troop

Osborne, one day behind, with relief de-
tachment in case of trouble. The troop was
accompanied by Colonel Charles f. Smart,
surgeon, detailed from Washington TO make
a report on the trial. The troop as II came
into the post this morning looked well and
hearty except for the usual wear and

demonstrated that body OF men can march
ten days on these prepared half ratlons and
be as well equipped physically at the end

THE ENCHANTED MESA.
Not Single Trace of Evidence That
It Has Ever Been Inhabited
bv Human Beings

Albuquerque, N. M, Aug. 3.-The ia
NOUS Mesa Encantada, which was sue
cessfully assembled by Professor Lib
bey's party a few days ago, is an IT.
regularly shaped bluff of red and gray
sandstone, which rises abruptly from
the surrounding plain, to a height of
500 feet. The top of it was apparently
at one time a part of the bottom of a
prehistoric lake, as the soft sandstone
conglomerate is filled with a great va
riety of water-washed pebbles.
By erosion during countless ages past
the softer sides of it have been grad
ually worn down, forming the sloping
hills that now encircle it. The largest
part of the top is at the northwest end.
At this point the mesa is about 700 feet
in width. 1t extends fully 1000 feet to
the southeast but narrOwS down very
materially near the middle and at the
southeast end is narrowed down to
simple reef of rock in some places not
more than 20 feet wide and crossed by
fractures that seem to extend almost to
the base of the cliff. The sandstone on
top, with its strata of varying hardness,
has been worked by the winds into
many forms as fantastic, although on
a much smaller scale, as those in the
enough scattered among the rocky
points to support considerable Vegeta-
ton consisting of two or three varieties
of grasses, dozen or more kinds of
flowers and a few small bushes. Be
sides this, there are Is or 20 cedars, a
half-dozen of which might be called
trees.
There is not the slightest trace that it
was ever inhabited. A very thorough
and careful search failed to reveal the
smallest fragment of pottery or any
thing else that would indicate that it
had ever been the home of man. There
are no markings of any kind on any of
the rocks and there is nothing around
the sides of the precipitous table that
would lead one to suppose it had ever
been assembled by man by any ordinary
means. Professor William Libbey of
Princeton was beyond a doubt the first
man who ever put foot upon the top of
the Mesa Encantada. After his ascent,
Gordon Pearce of Albuquerque. N. M,
and Matthias Knapp of Oakland, Call
went up. The top will not exceed IS
acres in area and was carefully search
ed for any evidence of former human
habitatiOn, without success. The only
mammals to be found were the COM
mon mountain rats and the small liz
ards usually called swifts. Ravens and
cliff swallows have nests around the
craggy sides of the mesa and numerous
smaller birds fitted around the top
Mosquitoes, gnats,' flying ants and 9th
ef insects were too plentiful for COM
fort These are the only living things
on top of the enchanted mesa at pres
emf.

SMALL TO OWN A KELLEY.
He Will. Also Teach the Young Idea
in DelaWare

Dover, Del, Aug. 3.-Rev Samuel
Small, the evangelist, who contemplates
settling permanently in Dover, has
made partial arrangements to purchase
the residence owned and formerly oc-
cupied by Thomas W. Wilson, now
of Philadelphia. On Wednesday Mr.
Small is to arrive here to lecture and
preach on the temperance issue at Cam
bridge Union camp, a few miles below
Dover
When Mr.. Small was in Dover a few
weeks ago he was attracted by the ad-
vantages offered for the establishment
of a sanitarium and Kelley cure, and
at once entered into negotiations with
the proprietor of a prominent hotel
here.
In regard to the projected home for
orphans, the idea advanced by Mr..
Small is to purchase about 40 or SO
acres of land and erect thereon small
buildings, each having accommodations
for about eight children.
When the children arrive at a GER
tain age, each is to be given a small
garden to till. and those who raise the
most meritorious products are to be
given prizes.

WHITELAW REID EXEMPT.
New York Customs Officials Scarcely
Glance at His Noun tain of Baggage.

New York, Aug. 3.-That portion of the
new tariff law which prohibits. passen-
gers from bringing into port free from
duty more than 800 worth of personal
property was not impartially applied on
the arrival of the st. Paul yesterday.
Whitelaw Reid, for example, found
himself bigger man than the law, for
though he and his family brought back
something like forty-two trunks and par
cells, their baggage was scarcely looked
at by the score of inspectors
Mrs. Reds Sc, 600 dress, which she wore
at her husbands costly reception to the
Prince of Wales was in one of the trunks.
but it was not exposed to view, the round
chalk circle of a customs officer pre-
venting many women on the wharf from
seeing something worth looking at, from
a feminine point of view.
Al Hayman, the millionaire theatrical
manager, and Mrs. Hayman found them
selves indebted to the government for
very nearly $500 when the inspectors had
tossed about their personal effects. Mar
Gus Mayer, also theatrical, paid over $40.
Joseph Stickney, the coal magnate, got
off with something like $500. In all about
81, 500 was collected on personal property.

DEPENDED ON CLEVELAND.
And He Signed & Paper Indorsing q
| Saloon at Princeton

Princeton, N. J., Aug. 3-Grover Cleve-
land, by signing his name to a paper,
has provided Princeton university with a
saloon. Twelve names were necessary to
keep open the saloon, the license of which
expired on the first of May, and Mr..
Cleveland was the twelfth.
princeton Inn was opened six years
ago by stock company consisting OF
wealthy university alumni 1t has been
run a headquarters for visiting friends
Of the university. Rev. Mr.. Shields lives
next to the saloon. He signed first. Prof.
lockwood and Prof Marquand followed.
Prof. Scotts mother signed for him and
Mrs. Charles Mcmillan signed for her
husband.
The action of Mr.. Cleveland and the
others who signed the petition for new
license is the talk of the town outside of
the university, but the murmurs are not
allowed to disturb the university. Occa-
sionally Princeton has voted for prohibit
ton, but it is a license town. The
action of the university men may result
ia driving the city to the other extreme.

miles north of this city, early Sunday

CHER LADYSHIP' Is SPORTY
She Also Seems to be Quite Crooked
in Financial Matters.

London, Aug. 3.-The summons issued
to Herbert Sanguineti against Lady
Jessica Skies, wife of Sir Tatton Skies,
the well known Yorkshire baronet, her
ladyship being charged with obtaining
by false pretenses checks to the value
of $500 and also with converting to
her own use 200 shares of stock, was
withdrawn at the Marlborough police
court today, the prosecution stating
that explanations had been received,
and that Sir Tatton Skies was prepared
TO meet all the liabilities of his wife.
1t appears also that the misunder-
standing was occasioned by the fact
that her ma jesty's broker had not kept
her acquainted with her exact position
in regard to certain transactions.
This is not the first time Lady Skies
has been before the public as a result
of financial disputes. Early in Decem-
Der, 1896, Sir Tatton advertised that he
would not be responsible for his wife's
debt Lady Skies had then been the
cause of a quarrel between her nd
and Lord Marcus BereSfOrd. Her lady
ship commissioned the latter to pur-
chase the famous mare, La F1eche, at
the sale of Baron Hirsch's studs in Ju-
", 1896, and Lord Beresford secured the
racer at the sum of $69, 445. Later, how
ever. Sir Tatton, after refusing to pay
for La Fleche, relented and helped her
ladvship out of the difficulty.

WAR ON A BIKE ORDINANCE
It omits NLadies Over 16" and "Men
Over CO."

Bristol, Pa, Aug. 3.-Bristors amaz-
ing new bicycle ordinance is to take eff
feet in few days, and the boroughs 700
cyclers have declared war upon it. Among
other things, it provides such incongru-
Gus restrictions that citizens have sug-
gested as additional consistent sections
these: THAT ladies more than 16 years
of age are prohibited from participating
in any acrobatic feats," and male riders
over 80 years of age must not use the
pedal mount in bestriding their wheels
Some of the wheelmen propose to or
ganize to contest the validity of the or
dinance in the courts.

LONG TALKS ON ARMOR.
He Doesn't See Why Uncle Sam Can't
Manufacture His Own at the Rate
of $500 a Ton.

New York. Aug. "a blue flag with
large white anchor in the center,

anchor off Tompkinsville, S. L, today
was the official notice served upon Ad-
in-chief of the North Atlantic squad
Long had arrived.
The reporter who boarded the Dol
pfin last night found the secretary of
the navy in the best of humor. With
out hestat ton he told of his plans and
of his views respecting naval matters.
The most important matter discussed
was in relation to the armor-making
plants in the country and the POSSIBLE
ity of the government establishing
mill of it's own for the manufacture of
armor.
Whether this government should
tary of the navy, lis a question of the
greatest Importance. In accordance
with an act of congress a board of Of
hcers is to be appointed to look up the
matter and report to me, and through
me to congress, as to whether we can
build a plant"
DO you think the charge of $3.50
ton for armor by the Carnegies and
other armor-rna king esta bIishments is
exorbitant?' % asked the reporter
Il think $3.50 a ton for armor plate is
entirely too much" replied Secretary
Long.
do you think the government could
build it's own armor for $1,000" asked
the reporter.
THE matter has been looked into"
said the secretary. Congress will not
permit the navy department to pay
more than $500 for a ton of armor for
the new ships. L see no reason why
we could not build armor for that
amount"
