NO CHANGE IN A. 6. p.
The Road is to be Bought in by the
BondhoIders.

San Francisco, Jan. 14.-Charles w.
Smith, who for nearly year past has
filled the position with the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad as receiver is here on
business connected with the road. His
visit at this time, he says, has no sig
niffcance. He is simply looking after
few matters of routine business and in
few days will depart for A1buquer-
que, N. M.
He says all rumors to the effect that
the Southern Pacific and the st. Louis
& San Francisco road were anxious to
secure the road were without founda-
ton. The Atlantic & Pacific railroad,
according to Receiver Smith, will be
bought in by the first mortgage bond
holders. A reorganization will be eff
fected and the road will then start out
with a new lease of life.
Under the new mana cement he de-
clareS the policy of the road and its
relations with other lines will remain
exactly as they are now.In other words,
the Atlantic & Pacific will continue to
| serve as an important link in the Santa
Fe system and will be operated under
a traffic arrangement with the Santa
F'e as it is now.
1.-THE first mortgage bonds of the At
lantlc q Pacific amounting to SIG, DOC, 900
are held by a very few people he said,
and these comprise the reorganiza ton
committee. There is now in the hands
of a conference committee of the senate
and house a bill granting to the Allan
tic & Pacific railroad a franchise almost
similar in every respect to that held by
the existing company, the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad company. 1 have rea-
son to hope that congress will pass the
bill before the expirat ton of the coming
month. The date of the sale will then
be fixed and the new company will buy
the property.
There is a second mortgage of S.
100000 on the road, held by the Atchi-
| son, Topeka & Santa Fe and the St
| Louis & San Francisco roads. This will
| be satisfied by an issue of preferred
| stock The existing owners of common
stock will not be overlooked in the re
| organization, although this is by no
means compulsory. They will be given
a certain amount of the securities of
the new company and the claims of all
interested parties will thus be amicably
| and satisfactorily settled ."

PINAR DEL RIO SUBDUED.
Peace is Said to Reign in the Pro-
vince.

Havana, via Key West, Jan. IA
correspondent of La Lucha, writing
from Pinar del Rio under date of Jan.
9, gives a vivid description of the de-
destruction witnessed during his trip
from Artemisa:
All the tract traversed by the rail-
road from Artemisa to Consolation
del Sur, has undoubtedly suffered most
from the rigors of war. The fields are
laid waste and abandoned The huts
are destroyed and the stone houses in
which in other times were happy
homes, have been converted by the
hands of the rebels to heaps of
ruins which are heaps of black"
Continuing, he says:
1T is evident that we still have reb-
els in the field and consequently an alb
solutely normal condition does not
reign in the province. But, discussing
the case logically, it must be agreed,
because this can be seen by anybody
that the revolution is completely an
initiated in Pinar del Rio for the lack
of men and ammunition. The western
railroad, the penal road of the province
runs trains daily without interference
From Consolation del Sur to the city of
Pinar del Rio, the fields are planted
with tobacco, countrymen tilling the
soil and people travelling alone through
the country. There is calmnesS every
where and the greatest tranquility is
in all homes.

The Las Vegas Optics railroad reporter
has learned that the circumSt anceS which
led up to the dismissal of Passenger Con-
ductor M. c. Drury, were as follows: He
and Engineer Young, also dismissed from
Nolan station, up the road, short time.
Owing to some difficulty with the brakes
on one of the coaches, the train failed to
make Levy station for special, Drury
ing point, and in plain sight of the APP
preaching special. However, the engineer
of the latter failed to see Drury's train
just ahead of him, on a straight track
Conductor Drury would, perhaps. do the
same thing, under similar circums tanceS-
indeed, it would seem to have been the
only thing left for him to do. He knew
what he was doing, where he was ''at -
and had in mind, all the time, the oncom-

Levy.

WILL GIVE 1T TO HUDSON.
Little Doubt That All the State Print.
ing Will be Ordered From Him.

E. H. Snow is still carrying on the
contest over the state partnership. He
has made a demand of the printing
committee of the executive council that
they recognize him as the printer in
stead of Major Hudson. When the
new state officers went into office they
were compelled to have some stationery
for immediate use and the secretary of
state ordered some letterheads ard
other things from Major Hudson. Mr.
Snow made a claim Immediately there
after that the council recognize him
and give him the orders in the future
Since the first order was given nothing
more has been done in the matter 1t
is probable that final action will be
taken tonight when the council gets
through hearing the applications of the
candidates for engineer of the state
house. There are a great many jobs
of printing that it is necessary to have
done at once, and as yet none of the
printing for the legislature has been
sary for the council to take action i'm
mediately. The members of the coun-
Gil refuse to discuss the question in any
manner, but a prominent Populist and
a man that is very close to some of the
members of the council said that he
thought there was no doubt that the
council would recognize Mr.. Hudson
and let him serve his term out
1t is said that in case this is the de-
cision of the council that Mr.. Snow will
go to the supreme court and ask it to
reopen the old case and reinstate him
in the state printers office.
