AGUINALDo's FORCES MAY
GIVE US MORE TROUBLE.
More Troops May Be Needed There
Rebels Are in Control Of the Island
OF Luzon.

NEW YORK. Nov. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Major Simpson, Of General Merritt's
staff has just returned from Manila.
and though personally he does not seem
to fear serious trouble with the forces
o. Aguinaldo. he says there is distinct
sentiment among the United States
troops that there may be more trouble
and that more troops may be needed.
Agulnaldo's force is reckoned at about
10000, and Major Simpson freely admits
that the rebels are in control OF the
island Of Luzon.
The recent attack on Iloilo by the
forces Of Aguinaldo recalled to Major
Simpson the fact that Aguinaldo had
some transports and that about 500 OF
the Luzon troops had been carried to the
island Of Pinay.
On the island OF Mindanao, the situa-
ton is not understood, as the inhabitants
are mostly mohammedans. Little or no
investigation of the situation there has
been made there by our army Back in
the hills of Luzon many tribes are all
most unclvilzed and have never felt the
force Of either the insurgents or Span
iards
To compllcate the situation the priests
are intriguing to make the rebels discon-
tented with Agulnaldo and to set up an
other insurgent chief. Should all the
islands pass into the hands OF the United
States. the situation might be one OF
surprises. The fact that Aguinaldo's
troops attacked Iloilo, according to Ma
jor Simpson. shows that Agulnaldo has
not acquiesced into the decision involved
in the fall Of Manila.

Saturday, March IF, 1898.
NOT POSTED ON CUISINE.

Commenting upon Governor Nc Cords remarks on the difference in appearance of hotel walters, as set forth in THE OASIS recently, the Gazette remarks:
 Tn Mexico, as in most good hotels, the dressing is served with the turkey, not placed on the backs of the walters. Few walters get more than dollar day and board in the United States. That amount, with privilege of "tips,' is above The average. It is an old saying, a true one, too, "You cannot judge man by the cut of his coat. 7 The governor is, himself, a plain man, and it is difficult for his friends to believe he would cease thinking long enough to use such argument. The sentiment is far beneath his usual utterances.
 Which goes to show that the the Gazette editor is not posted on Mexican cuisine, or he would have asserted that dressing is served with the enchiladas. " But tue Gazette cannot break the force of the Governor observation. Every 1hing is on different scale ill the United States, and will be so until Mexico goes to gold basis or should the United States adopt a silver basis (unlimited free coinage at I6 to I) in which event the con dition and style of American work ingmen would more nearly approach that of the Mexican by the leveling down process. A gold standard for Mexico would level up.

 IS6o-6I, there was a rush to organ- ize regiments with high sounding names, enlisted from the tough element, the known fighting stock of the country. There were Els worth S Fire Zouaves, recruited from the 6remen of New York; Billy Wilson S Zouaves recruited from the Bowery and Five Points regions; and score or more of similar or ganizations were quickly organized and marched to the front. But in the four bloody years that followed not one of those phenomenal or ganizations made a record. The Fire Zouaves were mustered out of the service i'll disgrace because Of their insubordination; so were Billy Wilson's Zouaves. The rank and file could not submit to discipline, and it was impossible to, bring them to that state of efficiency where an entire regiment, brigade, division or army moves as machine. In- dividually the men were fine fight CTS; but collectively they were worthless on the field of battle. On the other hand the regiments which made records were recruited from an entirely different class of men. The regiment which showed the heaviest per cent of loss in all the war was the Second Wisconsin, re- cruited from clerks in stores and farmers boys; close second was the Twelfth Massachusetts (the re- giment in which General Miles did his first soldier duty as a private consisting of Boston dry goods and grocery clerks; another regiment with record was the Sixth Wis consin, farmers boys, miners and lumbermen; the sixth regiment 1T the list of heaviest losses in battle was the Fifty-fifth Illinois, consist

THE GREATER MORALES TICKET AND
 PLATFORM

In another place in this issue of THE OASIS there appears an account of the proceedings of the mass con vention held at the Nogales opera house Thursday evening, the ticket nominated and the declaration of principles upon which the candi- dates stand, which will be the rule and guide to their conduct of the town after election.
 The candidates are well known citizens, several of whom have served the public faithfully and we'll, and the ticket comments itself to the people not only in the sterling worth and substantial character ot the nominees; but in the open and above board method of their nomi- nation and in the public declara- ton of principles which they rep resent. Here was mass conven- ton of the people, gathered upon a call issued by large number ot their fellow citizens, all substantial business men and taxpayers, which convention was organized in due form, with everyone who desired giv- en ample opportunity to present his views and advocate his candidates. The entire world can know who were present at the convention and who were the gentlemen selected as the officials to conduct its delibera- tions. Contrast with this the method employed ill nominating the alleged taxpayers ticket" Called in secret, attended by but few, no publication to show who presided or who assisted otherwise in the con duct of the meeting, no declaration of principles, nothing but ticket, and many of the candidates are now mortified by the assumption Of a prominent federal official and head of the Nogales Water Company that they are carried ill his pocket, and were put upon "my ticket" to serve his own ends. It has since leaked out that of the dozen men present four never paid cent of tax in the town, while three more pay no taxes save in the names of their wives and the chairman of the meeting is neither taxpayer nor a business man.
 But it is in the declaration of principles that the Greater Noga- les ticket comments itself most strongly to the voters and taxpayers. It first pledges the town to progress. The improvements of the past two years are to be continued. But the main issue is the water question. It is and has always been an open secret that the Nogales Water Co., desires an illegal, exclusive fran chise to supply the town of Nogales with water for a period of twenty five years. Two years ago the rep
 resentative of the company asked the present board to grant such franchise and was refused. Nov

The Vanderbilt interests will be in
control of the Chicago & Alton road by
the first of the year. This is the prophe-
cy made from Chicago, and in the light
of recent development of railroad events
there does not seem to be anything i'm
probable in it. The Vanderbilts are
already in practical possession of a
through line between New York city
and San Francisco over the New York
Central & Hudson River, the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, the Chi
cage & Northwestern. the Union Pacific
and the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton Company, the latter including
steamship connection between Portland
and San Francisco. This having been
secured, the Vanderbilts are reaching
out towards the Gulf of Mexico, and the
first step, Kansas City connection, has
been secured through the Chicago & AL
ton. The next is to secure the Kansas
City, Pittsburg & Gulf line, and there
are indications to show that this road
has been absorbed into the great com
bination. So here is a great letter Y
with Port Arthur on the gulf as a ter
minal of the southern arm. traffic from
the Pacific and the gulf being drawn in
to Chicago and handled eastward over
the Lake Shore and New York Central.
This is the day of vast conquests and
combinations of capital. noticeably in
railroad lines, and the contamination of
this pet project of the Vanderbilts will
be watched with much interest.

many of the damaging statements
which have been made regarding the
territory and her people in the past, and
there is every reason to believe hat
those efforts will be successful in a
large measure, With prejudice removed
and a clear understanding of conditions
as they exist, favorable action by ON
gress on statehood for the territory will
not be much longer delayed. The COM
ing session of the Legislature can aid
the cause in no inconsiderable degree in
anticipating the action of congress by
providing for the holding of a constitu-
tional convention the coming summer,
for the purpose of drafting a constitu-
ton for the new state, and it's submits
sion to a vote of the people next NoVem-
Der. Nothing succeeds like success, and
if the attempt to draft a constitution is
successful that success will be ratified
by the voters, and then, when the seth
congress meets next December, the
matter will be in good shape for pre-
sentation. A year is none too long in
which to prepare for the supreme eff
fort to secure statehood, and the men,
bers of the legislature are certainly pos
sessed of enough foresight to recognize
the Importance of providing in advance
for that which will bring growth, ad-.
vancement and wealth to New Mexico.
In regard to the laws governing the
assessment and collection of taxes no
one can gainsay the necessity of amend
ments to the present law, and perhaps
the passing an entirely new act, which
will make assessments more equitable
and the payment of taxes certain. The
experience of every county in the ter
ritory in the past, in ~endeavoring to col
lect the revenues which are justly due
and necessary to the maintenance of the
taught every thinking mar that radical
change in present methods is impera-
tive. There are many ways in which
this much desired change can be
brought about, but it is not required
here that those ways should be explain
ed, any one of the many able lawyers in
New Mexico can draw a bill which will
cover all the points wherein the present
law is weak, and a bill of the kind
should receive the unanimous support of
both houses of the Legislature.
If the 33d legislative assembly should
pass the necessary appropriation bills,
provide for the holding of a constitu-
tional convention and correct the evils
now existing in the matter of providing
revenues for the counties and the ter
ritory, ignoring everything else brought
before it. it will have done much toward
placing New Mexico in the position in
which she properly belongs, and the ap-
prevail of the people generally will meet
the members when they return to their
homes. In doing these three things the
legislators will discharge their duty in
a creditable manner and acquit them
selves with honor.
