KEEP UP II BARS.

The dispatch from Carson, pub
lished in Wednesdays INDEPENDENT,
came as a thunderbolt out Of a clear
sky TO the cattlemen. No n seeued
able to express any opinion as to
what Governor Sadler expected to
accomplish by calling the cattlemen
OF the State together at Carson next
Monday. All here ousidered that
the Governors positive declaration
against permitting cattle from Cali
fornia to come into this State settled
the question and that no further
steps wonld be necessary.
The call for a meeting Of the cat
tlemen at Carson on the 18th seems
to indicate that the Governor is con-
templnting a move in opposition to
the wishes OF the cattlemen a. here
totore expressed upon which he
wants their advice and cooperation.
II this be the object he has in view.
he will doubtless DO disappointed.
The cattlemen are practically a unit
in demanding that the present policy
be carried out and that all cattle
from California shall be excluded
from this State go long as n OF
them are affected by u contagious
disease. They see 10 good reason
why their interests and the welfare OF
Nevada should be jeopardized merely
for the purpose OF assisting the
wealthy cattle owners OF California.
The cattlemen of this county are a
unit in demanding that Governor
Sadler shall enforce the quarantine
laws OF the State. In this they are
backed by the unanimous sentiment
OF the people. The present policy
suits them and they will hold up the
Governors hands in enforcing it.
The matter IL one OF momentous
interest to Nevada. A great many
cattle are already contracted for
future delivery in this county and
should cattle from California be
shipped in here and Nevada placed
under tho quarantine regulations Of
the Department Of Agriculture iIn.
mense loss and trouble will result.
As an evidence OF this we are inform
ed that the cattle shipped from here
last week to Montana, by Mr.. Kruse
were held up and detained by Mon
tana officials until they we're satisfied
that no diseased cattle from Califor-
mia had been permitted 10 enter this
State. '
The Elko County Cattle Associa-
ton will send representatives to the
Carson meeting with instructions To
insist upon the rigid enior cement OF
the present policy. They are safe
under its working, while ruin may
follow any modification that will per-
nit even inspected cattle from the
infected districts OF California TO ell.
ter the State. In union there 10
strength and the cattlemen Of every
section Of the State should insist
with one voice that Governor Sadler
shall stand firm and protect his own
people in this grave crisis.

or INTEREST TO srocKMES.

Governor Sadler has issued an invi-
tation To the stockmen Of the State to
meet at noon Monday, April 18th. at
his Office ut the Capitol. This has
been deemed necessary in view OF the
threatening attitude OF California
cattle owners who want to ship their
stock to Nevada ranges. Ii Is stated
on reliable authority that I'M attempt
will be made to ship cattle from the
infected districts into y vada. This
attempt. il successful, will result in
placing Nevada under the ban Of re-
strictiOp and cattle from this State
will not be permitted to enter Utah,
Colorado or any Of the eastern States,
north OF the national quarantine line.
That would cut off the eastern mar
ket for Nevada cattle and result in
great damage to the stock interests OF
the State.
Under the act OF Congress to pre-.
vent the spread OF contagious dis.
eases among live stock. the Secretary
OF Agriculture established u quaran.
.ine lie from the Atlantic to the Pa
citic. Nevada is ont side the quarau.
tine line and the Secretary OF Agn-
culture telegraphed Governor Sadler
that he would maintain that line sc
far as it concerns Nevada and would
not permit cattle from the infected
district TO be shipped to Nevada un,
less the State authorities gave CON-
sent. aud IL they should assent to the
proposition they would have to in
cur the risk. and have the State in.
Guided in the quarantine district. The
stockmen Of the State are opposed TO
raising the quarantine, and the Gov
ernor stands by them and will not
consent.
The situation is this: Feed is so
scarce and stock are starving i'll Cali.
fornia. The cattle are affected with
the Texas tick. which produces splen-
etc fever. This fever is contagious
and in one instance i'll Donglas county
a small band OF cattle from the in
ftcted district OF California caused
the loss OF nine-tenths Of a herd OF
native cattle with which they came
III contact.
1t may seem harsh to prevent starv-
ing cattle from the quarantined dis
trict from coming into the State, but
seemingly harsh measures are adopt
ed TO prevent the spread Of contagious
diseases among human beings. 1t
cen int uman to quarantine healthy
persons FROM IA fever stricken locality.

CUBANS TO BE ARMED.
Militia and Regulars Not to Go to
Cuba at Present.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Secretary
Sherman said to-day that it was his
expectation that for the present and
the immediate future the insurgent
army would do the greater part of the
fighting in Cuba He added the state
ment that there was no intention OF
taking the militiamen and new recruits
into Cuba until thoroughly Injured to
the hardships of actual military life
and that probably the regulars would
be held in this country until later in the
season. The Secretary expressed the
opinion that Admiral SIMPSONS fleet
would take the first opportunity to form
a junction with GOmeZ's army, and that
thenceforth there would be perfect CO.
operation between those two organiza-
tions in conducting the war against
the common enemy. The insurgents
are the best men for this service at
present. said the Secretary, and they
can be trusted to do serious work Wi.C
we'll armed and we'll clothed. He said
it was his understanding that this
Government would furnish the arms
and munitions of war toefit out several
regiments of the Insurgents in good
shape, and to put the entire Cuban army
in good fighting trim
He would not discuss the reports that
he would resign from the Cabinet short

excited by the actions of an Arkansas
family, the members of which the un-

A PEACEFUL BLOCKADE.
It Is Not at All to the Tastes OF
the United States Navv

ON THE FLAGSHIP NEW YORK,
off Havana, April 23.-10 p m.-The
second day of the war has come to a
close and the fighting squadron has no
casualties to report.
After the excitement this morning
over the Italian man-of-war and the
capture of a schooner by the torpedo
boat Porter, nothing occurred to mar
the peaceful routine. Opinions as to
the length of time the blockade will
continue places it variOusly at from one
to six weeks. Admiral Sampson has so
far evinced no disposition to take the
offensive against the Spanish batteries
1t is certain that the insurgents are
by no means inactive at this critical
period. Naval engagements between
the formidable fleets would be much
to the liking of the officers Of the fleet
AS body they are anxious to put to
test thousands of theories to which they
have been devoting their time since
entering the Naval Academy, apart
from the fact that their fighting blood
is up.

excitement of occasional chases.
