Those school Lands.

| The Denver uailies auu ssNeio
misinformed or malicious individuals
have been busy spreading great
deal of misinformation about the
proposed sale OF state lands to the
Great Plains Water Company. The
Times is the only one Of these papers
which has attempted to get any re
liable information concerning the
prices of lands in the vicinity, and
the interests of the school fund and
this section of the state, as well as
the opinion of the people OF the ter,
ritory where the company operates,
and the Times is in favor of the sale.
As regards the interests of the
school fund the price offered for the
land is ten times what the land Is
worth or would bring as it stands to-
day; it IS greater than the price at
which private individuals sell raw
lands under constructed ditchss, and
is seven times the present assessed
value of similar lands in this county.
Therefore no one can truthfuliy
charge that the school fund is being
robbed by the sale.
On the other hand the sale will
mean the development of that trac,
and many thousand more acres of
raw lands, which under other con.
ditions will be practically useless,
and will mean the adding OF several
thousand families TO our population
ia the next few years
The company which is asking for
the sale Is one that has spent over q
million dollars developing this par
of the state, aud is the only lSrg,
company that has operated here and
kept its every promise to the people
it has dealt with. Through its back.
ing and influence the evils Of the old
rotten management of the Henry
canal have been largely corrected
and a lasting benefit conferred on
our farming community.
The opposition is led by T. G..
Henry, the land shark, who for seven
years hung like leech to the farmers
Of the valley, keeping them down
and foreclo~ing on hundreds OF farms
which his own rascality had made
unprofitable- Every citizen of the
valley has suffered from the opera
ton of this swin1ler. The entirs
valley has profted, directly or .4rrii
rectly from the operations of the
Great Plains Water Company.
The members of the state land
board have visited the land and have
expressed the opinion that the sale
was for the best interest of the school
fund and the state. We hope they
will show the courage of their con
victions and order the sale without
waiting several months for the new
board to come in.

SPAIN'S NAVAL STRENGTH.
About Hundred Vessels Could be Pressed
Into Service

An interesting compilation of the ma
val strength available by Spain in case
of war has been issued by Colonel
Wagner. chief of the military informa-
ton division of the adjutant generals
office of the war department. 1t shows
the total number of ships, including
those now building and such merchant
vessels as may be impressed into serv-
ice by Spain, to be over 100. The COM
pilation, however, does not include
coast defense vessels proper. nor a
number of small special crafts employ
cd by the Spanish government In Gu
ban waters under special Circumstance
es.
There are II armored ships of an ag-
gregate tonnage of over $1,000, all of
which, except three, have speed OF 20
knots or more. There are 3S cruising
ships. which include cruisers proper,
gunboats. torpedo gunboats. gun ves-
sells, dispatch vessels and sloops OF war.
All except eight of these are of less
than 5000 tons. About two-thirds are
of less than 1900 tons. None of the
cruising ships have any armor except
two or three, which have a slight deck
protection. Thirteen of them have a
speed above IS knots.
There are three gun vessels and four
Gunboats designed "for service in Gu
ban waters" They are OF light tom
small steel gunboats for service In
Cuba, carrying each one six-pounder
Maxim -Nordenfeldt rapid-fire and one
one-pounder Maxim m-Nordenfeldt auto
matte gun. In the torpGSo boat de-
stroyer class there are s,1 vessels with
a speed of 2S-knots or over. There are
16 torpedo boats OF light tonnage and
a speed ranging from 8 to 25 IL knots
per hour.
The ships building include the fol-
lowing: Battleship, unnamed, 1000
tons, designed to make - knots; an ar
mored cruiser, unnamed. 10000 tons, 2l
knots; two protected cruisers, the Rel

Nature seems to be able to regulate
the births of males and females with
out the help of German savants, as
serts the New York Times. 1t may
be remembered that Buckle found
that the average birth rate the world
over was twenty-one boys to twenty
girls, thus giving every Jill chance
for Jack, after allowing for the
greater death rate among males. The
Springfield Republican is authority
for the assertion that in Massachu-
sets for forty years the male birth
rate relative to the female has not
noticeably changed, the number of
male births to each 1000 female births
in the last twenty years being 1858 as
compared with 1859 for the preceding
twenty years. In Europe, observa-
tions covering ten years indicate an
average of 1000 males born to every
1000 females, England being at one
extreme, with 1898, and Italy at the
other, with 1071.

Is situated in a valley of extremely
low land, with hills s<irting IL In the
rear, and with a 25-foot levee in front,
running from hill to hill. The town is
very much I'm the position of q fortified
city, and when the levee gave way
mile above town under the pressure of
n very high river, the water shot
through a 25-foot opening and struck
the place like hurricane, sweeping
everything before II.
, Houses were turned and tossed about
like boxes. The people were not warned
of the break, and for that reason so
many were caught. Those at home
sought refuge i'm second stories and on
house tops. Those in the streets were
carried before the avalanche of water.
and probably majority were
drowned
Citizens came from the place by
sklffs to a telephone several miles away
and asked for aid from Evansville
These said that more than 200 people
were drowned and they had reason to
believe 1t would reach 500 or even 1,00O

Ii HUNG's HEAD WANTED.
China Now Has Not Even a Port in Which
to Anchor Her Warships.

II is announced that a person of the
highest rank has memorialized the en-
peror of China in the most vigorous
language. accusing the whole Tsung-
Li-Yamen (Chinese foreign office) Of
being In the pay of Russia. Hc asserts
that Russia expended 100000 taels in
bribery during the recent negotiations
regarding the cession of Port Arthur
and Ta-Lien- Wan, etc, and claima
that Ii Chung Chang's share was l.
500. 900 taels. Thereupon the parsonage
referred to demands full investiga-
tion and asks that Ii Hung Chang be
beheaded II the accusations are proven,
the memorializer offering to be exc
cuted himself If his charges are not
sustained.
The Chinese complain bitterly Of the
fact that they do not possess war port
for the five warships which are being
built for them abroad, and which are
due to arrive in Chinese waters this
summer. Unless Wei-Hai-Wei. occu-
pied by the Japanese. Is evacuated
which Is doubtful, the Chinese have no
place in which to receive their new

OUR DEMANDS CONSIDERED JUST.
GERMANY APPROVES.
sho Herself Has Grievance Against Spain
for Which Satisfaction Will
Soon be Demanded.

The sentiment in Germany, in Of
fetal and unofficial circles last week,
was that the Hispano-American crisis
has veered considerably during the
course of the week, and Is now decid-
edly more favorable to the United
states. This, IL Is asserted, Is partly
due to the moderation Of President Nc
Kinley and the conservative manner in
which the United States minister, Cen
eral Stewart l.. Woodford, has dealt
with the authorities in Madrid. and
partly to the bitterness engendered by
the alleged wanton attack OF a band of
insurgents upon the German sugar re-
hnery at Cannamaba, in the Trinidad
district OF the province OF Santa Clara.
Cuba, and the murder OF four persons
connected with the refinery on March
IS, which has taught Germany that
Spain Is unable to protect even the
lives OF foreigners in Cuba. The Ger
man foreign office Is demanding i'm
mediate and full redress for this out
rage, and a German warship VIII soon
be sent to Havana IL satisfaction Is not
Forthcoming in short order. The Span
sh ambassador here. Senor Mendez de
Vigo, has had lengthy conferences with
Baron Won Buelow. the German minis
ter for foreign affairs, who convinced
the ambassador that Germany intend
cd to have complete satisfaction, in
Guiding an indemnity for the property
destroyed and for the lives taken.
The ambassador was also informed
that unless the redress was forthcom-
ing; Germany would herself act, secure
damages and punish the offenders. AS
an incentive to quick reparation Baron
Won Buelow added that provisional or
ders had been cabled to the command
er of the German warship Geier to sail
in the direction Of Cuba. The Spanish
ambassador promised that he would
exert himself to the utmost to comply
with the German demands. The news
papers are also changing their tone
and now concede in the main the JUS
tice of the American demands, ac-
knowledging that Washington has act
ed with the moderation which. many
another government would not have
shown under similar circumstances.
