1854 line from this point may bt
of interest. At 1890, to the minute
this morning, the ex-mayor drew his
lines over his new mustangs and point
ed their heads for Puerto de Luna and
the lower country. 1t was an idesl
morning to commence the trip. "Doc'
is on tour of inspection to the sheep
camps on the lower Pecos, with q visit
to Alf. and A.G Mills as the objective
point. AS he took charge of the
commissary. you may depend upon it,
ratIons are abundant, almost sufficient
to equip small army.
Nothing of note occurred until we
reached Romeroville, where we met
Lobato, the owner of the Lobato well
and ranch, who was galloplng to town,
as furiously as if he were on a cavalry
charge. He greeted us with the in
formation that he was off to enlist in
tue cavalry company for Cuba.
About Adlon's ranch The range is
fine, green grass appearing beautifully
in all directions. l understand the
Adlons have about 1000 acres among
them, all fenced; carpeted in green and
adorned with the pretty eyergree1s
seemingly set out in park like regular.
ity, the spot is one of great beauty.
At Anton Chico we found everything
quiet, Eduardo Martinez and Jim Aber-
crombie the principal merchants, had
closed the doors and struck out for the
sheep camps, I observed that the bridge
over the riversat that point is not used
and the understanding is it is In a
danger GUS condition. In the valley Of
the Pecos everything is lovely. The
green alfalfa, and the verdure Of the
new blooming trees contrast so pleas
ingly with the arid surroundings that
it seems like region of great beauty.
Ranch men are putting In large
quantities Of land and in many in
stances cats and wheat are making the
hills green. A days ride to this point
impresses one with the fact that the
Pecos Valley might be made almost as
productive as the region of the Nile.
Vegetation is much more forward at
Anton Chico and on down the valley
than at Las Vegas. AS / intended
only to dot line while "Doc"enjoys an
early sleep in the evening, and hoping
the war may be over by the time of our

The Matanzas pombardment.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Matanzas
lies at the head of bav about four
miles from the sea. This bay at its
mouth is three miles wide. On the
west side of the bay is Point Rubalcava
and on the east side Point Maya. These
points have very slight elevation above
the sea, but the configuration of the
harbor is such as to give the batteries
on them commanding position.
Stretching back from these batteries
are towering hills, and it was believed
the guns had been mounted somewhere
there concealed by the shruberry.
| But far more important than the
destruction of the Matanzas batteries ia
the conclusion about the future which
may be drawn from the bombardment
This conclusion is that Havana is alb
solutely at the mercy of the United
States fleet whenever we choose tc
open fire.
