A dispatch from Washington D. c. dated March 25, says.
 Major General Miles issued an order to-day transferring headquarters and six companies of the Eleventh Infantry. in the department of the Colorado, to Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, and has also directed the commanding general of the department of Colorado to order the headquarters staff and band of the Fifteenth infantry from Fort Bayard, \. NJ. to Fort huachuca, Ariz., and one company of the Fifteenth infantry from Fort Bayaad to Fort Apache, Arizona.
 Orders were also issued discontinu- ing the post of Wmppie Barracks. Although they do not seem to do so these orders may have bearing on the proposed reported concentration of troops for use in a possible emergency

Fire at Flags taf.

A special to the Albuquerque Citizen of date March p says:
 At I o'clock this morning fire was dis covered in the rear portion Of John w. WeatherfOrd' s residence. near the cen- ter of town, and, all though the citizens turned out and fought the flames, in about half an hour after the breaking out of the fire, it was beyond control, On account of the iron roofing the flames beneath could not be fought ad- vantagoOusly, and there being a west wind the flames communicated with the residence of Albert Doyle. immediately east, which also was totally destroyed; and it was with great difficulty that the residence of William Campbell, east of DOyle's. was saved. The citizens were on the alert with buckets of water for the square east of CampbelI's, drown ing Ou the live coals and sparks carried by the wind.

Sheen Law wilI hc rnfcrceI.

Sheen Law Uill bc Enforced.
 s,ookm TT
 There seems to be consi5erahleln- ! cuFs ae .a fna EkcHhroE of California , being able 10 snip part oI nc. @n->p to Arizona this spring. It is made abso- lutely necessary, owing to the drouth | there, to relieve the range of that state, and Arizona is looked upon as the most likely outlet for her fiocks.
 A large owner near Hollister, Santa Barbara county, has made inouiries as to the Arizona laws on the subject, stating that he can obtaln, or has ob- tained the necessary range in Cochise county, near Benson, and would like to ship his flock there, but before doing so. he wants to know just what will be required of him.
 He frankly acknowledges that their sheep are troubled to some extent with the scab, but as they do not contem- plate moving until after the spring clip, ahd after which the sheep will be dipped. ne does not consider that the matter of disease will be barrier to their admission to Arizona.
 We are also informed that Messrs. Sullivan & Mills. of Sellgman, have purchased 10000 head of sheep in Cal ifornia, for shipment to ther range in the vicinity of Seligman. These will be shipped in this spring.
 Bearing on this subject, it is given out that the sanitary board will stand flatly on the law as it appears on our statute books, which is sufficiently clear, and at the same time sufficiently strict to successfully keep diseases from be- ing brought into the terri tory by the introduction of focks from California or elsewhere.
 The statute governing such cases says that on entering any county, a flock will have to be inspected by the sheep inspector for that county, winch lnsp- ection is made at the expense of the person bringing in the sheep. The charge for an inspection Of the flock and granting a certificate by the in- spector, is S5, and l5 cents per mile for every mile travelled in making the in- spection. Should the band, or any part of them be found to be infected by any contagious or infectious disease the In- spectOT will direct what to do with them; the directions oi the inspector must be carried out, under heavy pen atty.
 In addition to the above, we believe the regulations to be such that no transportation company can enter the territory with stock of any kind until first inspected, or released by the ter ritorial veterinarian surgeon.

Another Hold-Up at Grants.

The Albuquerque Democrat gives the following account of another hold-up at Grants station, on the Santa Fe Pa- cifc, last Monday night:
 About midnight last night, just after NO. had left Grants, she was stopped by band of mask. ed men, who made straight for the express car Charles Fowler, a special gzard, opened fire up on them and hit one man This was evid antIy more than the wCulc-be robbers bargained for and they beat nasty retreat, taking with them the man that had been slot. The train backed down to Grants, and party was sen: to explore No traces of the band could be found, and the train prCceeged without further hindrance. If as is thought. these men are the same who hsld up Kenneny & Kitchens saloon in Gallup. Mar shal Green was eminently correct when he said that they would be heard from again.

WAR.

Are we to have war with Spain !? The prevailing opinion is that war cannot be avoided. and must come soon. It is evident that the administration is straining every nerve in preparation for the conflict, though officially express. ing hope that it may be avoided. As the country has wavered so long in re- gard to Cuba, and has postponed war measures till absolutely obliged to act, the majority, perhaps, of our public men regard peace talk as good strategy. But they feel that the end of 1t IS near at hand.

HE MAINE.
Report of the Court of Inquiry
 Sent 10 Congress.


 Report of the Court of inquiry
 Sent tO Congress.
 The following is a complete abstract . Of the report of the naval court of iu- i quiry which investigated the cause of the wrecklng of the battleship Maine. The report is made up of eight parts, as follows
 First--The court finds that at the time of tho explosion the battleship Maine was lying in five and one half to six fathOms of water
 SeeOnd--The discipline aboard ship was ex@ cellent, everything slowed according to orders ammun tiOn, guns, stores, etc he tempera- ture of the magazine at D. m was normal, ex- cePt in the after ten-ineh magazine, and that did not explode.
 Third-The explosion .cCurIed at 9:40 o'clock on the evening of February 15. There were two explosions with very short interval between them. The ship lifted on the fl -st explosion
 Fourth-The court can form no definite opin- ion of the condition of the wreck from the di- vers' reports
 Fifth-Technical details of the wreckage from which the court deduees that the mine was ex- ploded under the ship on the port side
 Sixth-Ihe explosion was due to no fault of those on board.
 Seventh-It is the opinion of the court that the explosion of the mine caused the explosion of the two magazines.
 Eight-The court declares that it cannot find evidence to fix the responsibility.
 The inability of the court to find evidence to fix the resp nsibility makes the report so guard ed in expression of blame that neither Spain nor the Spanish mentioned throughout.

THE INDIAN TALKS.

Even the Chippewa Indians, who say they "have long since buried low the tomahawk," volunteer a company of five hundred braves at once, with a thousand more to follow, and their full bIooded chief, Beche, sends greeting to the president, thus;
 Who has more right to fight for the United States than the man who was here before Colum bus sailed from Spain IT search of India Spain discovered us in 1492 and am constrained to remark that she will find us grown some if she sends anybody over to discover us at this late day. am fDr peace. but ruflcd peace is worse than war, and the dignity and honor of great nation must be preserved.

EurOpe's Two Gayest Capitals

 obliged 10 admire them from the gut

The streets of Paris are quite as full of soldiers as Ber- lin, but French soldiers are not impress siVe. They are undersized and badly dressed and badly groomed. Their trousers are much too long.

characteristic traits of the great 1n- ventor are told in series of anecdotes. Joseph Bonaparte's flight to America and sojourn here is recalled in an arti- ele, "When the King of Spain Lived on the Banks of the Schuyikill."

n favor Of free Cuba, six members of MT. McKinley's cabinet favor a policy on the part of this government that will result in the continuation upon some terms of the farce Of autonomy in Cuba, and the use of the power cf this govern ment to compel the Cubans to accept it. This seems too monstrous for belief, but it is seriously talked about in Washing ton, and is given to you for what it is worth.
