Two years later the bubble had burst
nnd tho canal company was hopeless
lyinsol*ent. Ithad furnished much work
and little pay to Fred and to hundred
other settlers as unsophisticated as he.
The canal was Incomplete; not drop
of water had ever reached the parched
soil upon the little knoll they called
their home. Even the customary rainy
season had failed them, aud the EFFORT
to raise crop Of grain upon their small
holding had resulted only in loss Of Ia
Dor and of seed. The wife Ind been
hopeful and helpful until the baby came
to the cabin for little time and thence
to neighboring cemetery. Now she
was very i'll. and Fred was impover-
ished
The old farmer had foreclosed on his
blanket mortgage. and already with
his gang plows was restoring the big
field to its former aspect The cabins
that dotted I, here and there. IL not re-
moved by The settlers. were torn down
when the plows reached them. and only
ragged board piles and mounds Of earth
where cellars had been dug marked
their former sites.
Fred took his wife TO hospital in the
county town and she died there.
In few months the winter rains will
transform all the landscape into fields
of living green. Then. out Of the nban-
honed colony, the little cellar mounds
at each cabin site will look like sodded
graves.

From ex-Gov. Anson Rudd, of CafioI

From ex-Gov, Anson Rudd, of Canon
City, The Mail is in receipt of copy of
the High School Yell, a handsome little
paper gotten out by the students. Its
initial piece is poem on Christmas,
written by his granddaughter, Edith
irma Rudd. The poem is well written
and thoughtful, and, as the governor
himself is poet of no mean ability,
it must be pleasing to him in the 18th
year of his age to know that his grand
children are giving such excellent
promise for the future.-Pueblo Mail.

1t was in the month of September
that Fred Fisher and his wife first saw
their California fruit farm.
They were among the first arrivals in
the new colony, and the big field of
stubble still had few other settlers than
the wary jackrahbit and the whistling
quail. row OF white flags on laths
showed the line of survey for canal.
and parallel intersecting burrows at
regular intervals indicated the streets
and avenues. BY the aid of the map
furnished purchasers our clerk ideDti-
fled the choice" selection which he
had made. and knew so little of the re-
quirements Of irrigation that he was
rather pleased to find 1t upon little
knoll Busy days followed: the cabin
which was to serve as dwelling until
more pretentious house should be built
from the profits OF the orchard was soon
put up and occupied. Many other new
corners were building near them.

day; "that is. IL we can make living

estimated that the troop transports
might be considerably delayed by Gen.
Anderson stopping to coal, not desiring
to reach Manila with empty, bunkers,
as would be the case if they were driv-
en- at full speed across the Pacific. Lat
er on there would be plentiful supply
Of coal at Manila, as United States
Consul Haywood at Hong Kong has
succeeded in purchasing 25,000 tons,
some of which will be Immediately for
Narded to Manila.
The publication of the semi-official
note referred to in the English newspa-
pers, has caused no disquietude here,
nor is it calculated to affect the situa-
ton. 1t is stated here that there have
been no negotiations between the gov
ernments of this country and Germany
as to the landing Of German marines
at Manila, and the publication Of the
semi official note confirms that state
ment and shows that the same state
of affairs exists.
NO EXCUSE FOR GERMANS.
The statement in the German note
Of the Intention to land marines as
'soon as it becomes necessary to pro-
tect German interests is nothing more
than a reiteration of the conditions
existing under the neutrality law.
However, there will pe no occasion
for such landing If the requirements
of neutrality are to be observed by
Germany and of that the state depart
ment feels no doubt. Nevertheless it
is not denied that the administration
will feel greatly relieved when all the
military forces have arrived and taken
up the occupation of Manila There
are now af1oat 10000 United States
soldiers destined for the Philippines.
The last Of these left San Francisco
the day before yesterday under COM
mand CT Gen. Macarthur. Gen. Mer-
ritt, who has been designated military
governor Of the Philippines, sailed to-
day from San Francisco, with his staff,
on the Newport. 1t Is thought to be
very probable that no serious question
Of jurisdiction will arise at the Phil
ippines between the insurgents and
Americans before the arrival Of Gen.
Merritt, and his formal taking possess
sion Of the islands.

WATER PIPES NOT CUT.
Santiago Is Still Supplied From It's
AQueducts.

WASHINGTON, June 29-No Off
cial reports have been received to con-
firm the story that Gen. Skaters
troops are in possession of the water
works supplying Santiago. 1t is not
doubted that the troops possess line
Of the aqueduct and can cut the water
supply Of Santiago, if desired to do
so. The opinion is that if the pipes
have been tapped by the American
roops it has been done with the main
purpose of supplying themselves and
stock with good drinking water 1t Is
not thought that there was a deliber-
ate purpose to cut off Santiago's water
supply, for, in the minds of persons
best posted on the situation, such a
method, while causing the population
of the town a great deal of discom-
fort, would be entirely Intellectual in
fastening the surrender of Santiago.

HOBsoN's ONLY DANGER.
1t Lies In the Treachery of Spanish
Volunteers at Santiago.

NEW YORK, June ga dispatch
from Madrid says: The Spanish gov
ernment and Capt. Gen. Blanco are
equally disposed to exchange the Mer-
rimac prisoners; in fact, an authoriza-
tion to exchange them was telegraphed
to Gen. Blanco, but the Havana and
Madrid newspapers made a row over
it, affecting to believe that it would
be very dangerous to liberate men who
have been close enough to the defenses
of Santiago to be in a position to carry
back important information. Accord
ingly, after much hesitation, the gov
erEment insisted upon Gen. Blanco,
Gen. Linares and Admiral Cervera re-
fusing to exchange, although all three
were in favor of an exchange.
According to Spanish advices, Lieut..
Hobson and the other prisoners were
confined only a short time in Morro
castle, and were then transferred to
O. vessel in the bay. They are believed
to be safe, as long as Linares and Ger
vera can control the situation. The
Spanish regulars are sure to respect
the rights of the prisoners. The only
danger is from the volunteers.

Lord Salisbury Talks OF War, Peace
and Civilization.
LONDON, June 29.-Lord Salisbury
the premier, addressing the United
club, in this city, this evening, said:
There is black cloud on the horizon.
1t does not affect us personally, but which
evokes large sorrow and our desire for Its
removal. 1t is the war of two great states,
between which we are neutral, one bound to
us by every tie Of kindred aad similarity OF
institutions and religions, the sother, the state
that fought ON our side when we struggled
with the threatening tyranny Of the first
Napoleon. Watching this terrible war, we
are bound to abstain from expressing prefer
ence or Judgment on either side.
We know that in both cases, the motives
were of the highest character. We know
that the United States are AM mated by elevat-
ed philantrophy and Spain is inspired by that
love of independence which was the greatest
pride of all ancient nationss 1 can only say
1 earnestly wish the day may speedily arrive
when = terrible slaughter between two ma
tions will cease and the world be restored to
peace.
With this exception the world looks smiling
enough to US politically. The convention with
France has removed the subject of conflict
between us and our greatest and most culti-
waited neighbor. The Soudan expedition, if
safely accomplished will be the greatest work
of civilization in which England has partici-
pated for two three generations.
The governments Chinese policy is to pre-
vent the Chinese empire from falling into
ruins, to invite it into the paths of reform
to give it every assistance in our power, to
increase its resources and foster its COM
mercial prosperity. We should have the same
influence as over India and Egypt, but l be-
lieve that so far as railways are concerned our
advantages will be fully equal to that Of
other nations. =,

delegates who came in to see what
there was going on were shamefully
neglected In this matter A whole lot
OF men with gaudy badges who came
from rural parts were going about the
Windsor in the afternoon complaining
loudly about their treatment One fol-
low remarked:~
We been here two hours and I'm

seen ut to ask me whether I have a

him off and bought him a drink to
keep him quiet.
The rotunda and second floor COR

day, but there were a hundred Ram

pin county people in the mob. OF the
rest there might have been a hundred
from the outside. Nearly every room

the door announcing somebody's head
quarters within. The lounges and
chairs in the corridor were filed at all
times and the scene was animated
enough. Eustis has the principal par

out with the tide. They consisted of
about 5000 men and their equipments
and subsistence.
This is only a small proportion Of
the reinforcements to be sent to Gen.
Shafter as at present determined, and
includes portion of Brig. Cen Sny-
der's division. From the fact that
they are in command Of Brig. Gen.
Randolph the presumption is that the
artillery batteries under his charge, or
at least a portion Of them, also have
been taken into this expedition. There
were six batteries in all under COM
mand Of Gen. Randolph, three Of
which were Of heavy and the remain
der Of light artillery.
At Key West the transports are to
be met by a convoy Of naval vessels
and escorted to Santiago. Other trans
ports are expected to return from
Cuba in a few days, and they will
take the remainder Of the troops as
signed to reinforce Gen. Shafter.
