The LeVee.

Work on the levee is still progress

Paso and Northeastern railroads. part,
the only work suspended was the lay
ing of the mating at the extreme
eastern end by the city. There was
no official protest from the Mexican
government on the matter, but the
engineers thought it be to wait until
the foundry was fully settled, which
will be about Saturday as Minister
Romero has telegraphed Mr.. Mill to
have the convention meet and settle
the question as soon as possible, for it
is now delaying work on both sides
The railroad company has finished the
embsnkment as far north as Stan ton
street and are now laying track on that
portion in order to haul material for
further construction.
The city commenced their portion of
the dirt embankment this morning.
under the supervision of Engineer
Wimberly, and will probably finish
laying the mating by Saturday if the
boundry question is settled in few

goodly number of citizens went on the
fnancia' war path late yesterday after
noon. and quickly raised the where
withal to give the officers of the de-
parting command banquet at the
Vendome. A special train was sent
up on the hill later on, after the post
had been notified,and the city's guests
were brought to town. Covers. wei

that nun Der were present EX-CoIlec-
tor Charles Davis was toastmaster, and
he presided with his usual dignity and
grace.
A speech was made by Cap ain Beall
in response to the toast of Dixie. He
referred elOquently to the prospects OF
var with Spain and the dastardly blow
ing up of the Maine, and said that The
regular troops would be backed by the
voIuters, and then the Un1ted States
would show the world thai our flag
could not be insulted with impunity.
Colonel Van Valzah, the commanding
officer at the Fort replied to Captain
Beall's patriotic expressions, and said
we are prepared for the fray. and there
can be but one result. In alliance with
Mexico and our other sister republics
we will be prepared to defy the world.
To the toast of"Our Sister Republic, !"
Collector Bsuche responded. He said !:
II am please to have the OppOrtuni-

Van Valzah and his brilliant corps Of

Editor Hart of the Times responded
to the toast of "DownTrodden Cuba"
In the course of his address be sad:
cit has been said that the pen Is
mightier than the sword. This may
be true, but there are times when the
pen will blot the paper and we must
resort to t. e sword to wipe out dis
