EDDY, NEW MEXICO. SATURDAY, APRIL %, 1898.


New York. April 20.-The Lone star
line is a thing Of the past. The Mat.
towan IL now loading for Europe, ana
tho Menomsha and the Merrimac have
been sold to the government. The
Miami IL now on her way here from
Galveston. and she ia scheduled for q
tramp trip TO Mexico with steel rails II
war does not prevent.
For the present the line will not be
re-establlshed either TO Galveston or
New Orleans, but the chances are that
II Il should be ro-ostabllshed New Or
leans would be more apt 70 get II than
Galveston, as specific guarantees have
frequently been offered by New Or
leans for the lines business which the
railroads could not interfere with,
such as local business OF New Orleans
and the river trade. The local busi-
ness OF Galveston, II Ia said, Is not
sufficient to support line. The Lone
star line had practically all OF II. At
least SO per cent. but the railroads cut
them ont Of the state by demanding
local rates and prepayment thus pre-
venting the steamers from competing
with the all-rail lines, as the local
flrst-class rate from Galveston 20
Texas common points was o5 cents.
while the steamers we're hauling 70
Galveston M low as cents.
But since the decision against tho
Lone Star line, and the support OF
that decision by all the railroads out
OF Galveston, II would be folly for the
Lone tsar line to attempt TO do a state
business. II has been possible all along
TO do business through Galveston
with Kansas, Colorado and Nebras-
ka, but the most fertile part OF Calves
toms territory, the state OF Texas. was
cot on by the railroads from the start
almost, aud OF course since the de-
cision everything Is ct on but tho CAL
weston local business.
Messrs, Hogan & Sons have not yet
made any announcements. and they de-
cline TO talk us TO their plans for tho
future. II Is likely that they have
not yet definitely decided what they
viii do, but II seems that the Calves.

Yankees will not take Havana. but

"The times are 80 grave and the
circumstances are 80 exceptional that
acts aud not words are necessary 20 face
the present dinlculty. Attempts are
being made to sully the glorious history
OF Spain by an Infamous caiumny. The
present Spanish government have done
their utmost 10 avert the war to which
we are being provoked. We have now
reached the limits OF concession, com
patible with honor and territorial in
tegrity.
I'VE consented TO the last concession
at the instance OF the pope and the
powers. We yielded IN fact but now
attempts are made upon our honor and
menaces directed against our territory.
That Is a thing to which Spaniards will
never consent, tApplause) This is
