SOME TEXAS Politics
Crane In Denton County.


Denton. Texas, March Silt seems to
be the consensus OF opinion among most OF
the leading politicians OF Denton county
that Crane Will carry this county by a
large majority. To illustrate how popular
the attorney general is here poll OF the
various precincts has been taken in the
county, with tho result that ii shows franc
TO be far in the lead, he having. by the
estimates above mentioned, nearly twice MS
many votes as his nearest opponent, Colonel
Wynne Of Tarrant county, while at some
of the places so great are the majorities
for Crane therein that the ones who took
the poll found II unnecessary to say any
thing more In making their reports than
that Crane is the man.
Savers and Jester stand about even. but
Crane has nearly four times as many fol-
lowers as both Sayers and Jester together.
From this 1t seems easy 10 deduce who
will be the winner in Denton county for
rdyarnOr

New York April IA dispatch to the

cral Woodford, which lasted about an hour.
your correspondent saw one of the mem
beers of the cabinet. His face was smiling
and he said: 81 firmly believe that peace
is assured. Spain in a note drawn up per-
sonally by Senior Sagasta has made eror-

peace She has given away in every pos
sible manner, only drawing the line when
her dignity as nation has been violated.
We are sure the president OF the United
States, with his fairness OF mind. Will see
how anxious we are for peace.
ION all points we agreed with the propo-
sitions OF the United states. but 1t is now
a question of how they should be applied.
1 believe General Woodford fully appreci-
aied our attitude. II the president OF the
United States is strong enough. as We
firmly believe. what we suggested means
peace of the highest kind. IL the LIMOGES
have their own way. 1t simply means war.

firmly convinced that we are going 10 have
peace"
Minister Woodford Immediately after the
conference retired to the legation and
wrote out lengthy cipher cable 10 the
president. Most remarkable during the
whole day has been the entire absence OF
any excitement. Nobody here looks for
war.
The minister above referred to appre-

and the press and the people treat II as
such. General Woodford II was noted.

MOVED To FORT POINT.

Battery G., First artillery, has moved
bag and baggage to Fort Point The bat
terry arrived here yesterday morning and
ing. They made themselves at home. and
in remarkably short time had put their
house in order.
But they were not destined to remain
under comfortable roof very long. This
morning Captain Best received some tele-
grams. II Is not known what information
or orders the kilograms contained. But I.
is known that the order TO move followed
thick and fast.
The command was busy breaking camp
this afternoon. Ammunition was being
piled on the sidewalks preparatory to being
moved to the fort and the command was
all ready to move.
Captain Best was AT the fremont hotel
getting dinner. A reporter called on him
there and asked him why the sudden move.
I'VE are going out there" said he, "in
order to be close to the guns"
In answer to question as to what reg
ulations and drills would govern the camp
Captain Best said he did not know, for the
very good reason that he had so far
thought only of making the move and get
ting settled in the new quarters.
Fort Point Is eminently the proper
place for the camp 1t Is absolutely nects-
sary to have the troops near the forts. and
in case OF a declaration of war they viii
have to do hard work In order TO familiar
ize themselves with the working of the
big guns.
There are enough men here now to man
the big gun and one or two OF tho mortars.
But If it We're necessary 10 work the whole
battery it could not be done with the
present force. II takes about forty men to
man one of the big 10-inch rifles and
