Hampstead, Texas, June 27.-Houston
and the members of the Fourth regiment
of Texas Volunteer infantry, which will
! soon mobilize, are to be congratulated on
the action Of the Washington war DEPART
ment in ordering that the Bayou City shall
be the mastering place.
Every military man is aware that plenty
OF gooI wafer is the chief requirement for
camp of soldiers and in time of war the
first thing a commander looks out for Is
plenty OF good water for man and horses.
Austin Is pretty city and is surrounded
by unrlvaled natural scenery, especially
looking toward the valley of the Colorado
river. The air Is pure and the region very
healthy, but of late years the people of the
city mostly use river water, and when the
water in the river rises a little they are
compelled to use muddy stuff. The follow
ing EDITORIAL paragraph, clipped from the
austin statesman OF the Gath, confirms the
assertion that the water is not fit to use

If the Spanish Admiral Is Really rIaniIa Can Not
Get There Under Forty Days, and Then He viii

Spanish fleet today from Port Said,
where his ships have been seen, he has
stlll nearly 5000 miles TO 60 suppos-
Ing his squadron to travel at the rate
of 200 miles a day, which Is a liberal
allowance when the speed made by
Admiral Cervora's squadron Is taken

sci and the Monterey, both modern
monitors; the protected cruisers olym-
pia. Charleston. Baltimore, Raleigh

Manila now, aud the first detachment
of troops, accompanied by the Charles

this mouth.
IL Admiral Camara Is really bound
for Manila he will find the harbor and
