A VOTE FOR ABAsD.
Mr.. w. w. Harris Would Like 70
See One Organized.

Bryan, Texas, August II, 1898.
TO Tine Eagle: | am indeed
glad to see through the columns Of
the Eagle one Of our citizens is
awakening to the fact that a braTS
band in our city is an essentit
feature in the make up Of a town.
| would be glad TO see another
good band organized, provided it
could be organized aud managed
on business principles and main
tanned by the citizens, which Is
done in other towns, and not by
one or two members Of the band, as
was the case in the organization Of
our last band. To properly equip
a band Of fifteen members, four or
five hundred dollars at least, will
be necessary. Music without first
class instruments cannot be made,
and first class instruments will cost
at the lowest calculation not less
than s]5 each. InadditiOn TO this
uniforms will likely be wanted
thou IN not absolutely necessary
which will take 5000 more, so you
see. at the least calculation, five OIL
six hundred dollars will be neces
sary to the equipage OF such q
band. | am willing to become q
member Of such an organization
even if composed Of tin horns, be
cause Of my love for music, but an
not willing to shoulder more thar
my share Of the expense as shown
| believe fifteen patriotic men car
lbe found who are willing TO become
members, but | very much doub
liz fifteen citizens can be found VIII
would subscribe more than % cent
each to such an organization.

The Tribune from Gibraltar says;
The reports circulated by the Span

that troops had been sent back from Gar
nero aud adjacent ports to Algincas,
whence they were being drafted to their
homes, are without foundation. On the
contrary, measures for defense actively
continue and tho 1900 men who garrison
the line Of forts from San Rogue TO Car
nero and GuAdalmina have just been 70.
inforced by an entire regiment Of noun
tain artillery, with 40 guns and are en-
oamped ON the heights ,bou, San Rogue.
The armament Of the three batteries
recently completed at Punta Carno and
ON the Isle Of verte consists for each
battery Of four quickfiring ordonez guns
Of IS oentimetres caliber and two 2t.con
timeter caliber Ordonez guns. Twenty
hveor 20 guns OF smaller caliber, but alss
Of the Ordonez pattern, are in barges neal
the water batteries, apparently waiting

To military observer IL is perfectly
evident at the fortihcAtions recently
completed by the Spanish engineer OF
fcers and now receiving :heir armAmen
are especially directed against any OF
fensive movement from Gibraltar. Tn
Spanish government Is thus not onl,
taking serious precautions against an.
possible Anglo American combination

Spanish-America.

Every true American heart
should throb with sympathy at this
time for Mexico at the mention of
the days September 18th and 10th,
which are the same to Mexicans as
July 4th is to Americans. These
are Mexico's two greatest holidays.
President Diaz was born on sep
tember 18th at If o'clock at night
and one hour later September

therefore that the Mexicans love
these two holidays, which represent
so much to them. On the night OF
September 10Th at exactly 1 o'clock
from every city, town, hill and dale
over the great Republic, one mighty
shout issues from a million free
mems throats, "Viya Mexico!

In Mexico the day is celebrated
with great splendor. Nearly a
quarter Of a million Of people take
part in the festivities and the scene
rivals anything ever presented on

So Yankee troops cant land.
