snowfall in the mountains" table.
The general snow fall has been
deficient, and the indications are
that the Rio Grande will be lower
in June and July than at any time
in the past 25 years. Unless the
water supply is augmented by
heavy rains, the outlook is serious
for the San Luis valley.

IN POLICE CIRCLES
Evil Doors Admonisiled of the
Error Of Their Ways

X. B. Smith, the gentleman of
color who was accused of target
practice with pistol. using as
target the leg of Dell Mansfield,
another brunette, was discharged
this morning on the motion of the
district attorney who could not
gather evidence sufficient to con-
vict. Mansfield declined to prose-
cute and was not even put on the
stand. The shooting by which
his leg suffered occurred "across
the tracks"
M. ID. Sullivan was committed
for trial on charge of indecent
exposure. Two little girls and
boy testified clearly against him
and he did not have any defense.
The two temporary sojourners
in town who were arrested on sus-
picion of committing the robbery
at Smith d. Duffy's saloon, were
discharged, there being no evi-
dence against them.

SAILORS ARE SULLEN
At THE LONG DELAY
General Dissatisfaction on the
Ships of fwo Fleets
HAVE LOST THEIR SPIRITS

Washington, April S-A new
and serious condition is entering
into the situation and giving con-
cern in naval and administration
circles. 1t is the effect that the
delay in action has had upon the
morale of the men on the ships of
the fleet off Key West and of the
flying squadron.
The sailors know little and care
little about Cuba, but they are all
eager to avenge their murdered
comrades of the Maine.
On Wednesday, when orders
were expected momentarily to
move on Havana, the sailors were
alert and full of spirit. Nothing
but immediate action was antici-
pated. Now the reaction is Sc
verely felt.
The mere announcement that no
message would be sent to Congress
until Monday affected the men re-
markably. They were sullen and
took it MS betrayal of their de, d
comrades and themselves.
A lowering of tone is marked
and officers look forward to Mon
day with apprehension.
A high naval officer remarked
that it is not human nature to bear
disappointment such as the tars
of our navy have borne without
deep resentment. Should further
delay occur it will, he said, clinch
the impression, already beginning
to be prevalent among the men,
that the country is not worth fight
ing for if it will not avenge such
wrongs as the Maine explosion.

New York, April S-Several
buildings in course of construc-

six men We're taken from the ruins
seriously hurt. One man will not
recover and two men are still in

The injured were completely
buried in the debris, and their es-
cape from death was miraculous.
The collapsed buildings were
being razed to provide a site for
the new Hall of Records for the
use Of the city.
The buildings were old and the
accident was caused by the sup

or the Maine explosion the casus
belli.
To strong party the humani-
tartan impulse to relieve suffering
does not appeal SO much as the
idea of vengeance.
Commodore Schley has chosen
for the battle signal for his flying
squadron "The Memory of the
Maine" and many in Washington

cry of the country. vengeance
before relief is their sentiment.

the peace party in the Senate is
