BAD FOR new MEXICO.
Latest Information States That the English
Stockholders Have Abandoned Elephant
Rntta and Selden Dams.

Civil Engineer P. E. Harroun, of Al
buquerque, left over the D. & r. G.. yes
terday en- route to the irrigation con
vention to be held this week at Chey-
enne, to return next Monday.
On being questioned relative to the
outlook for the construction of the
Elephant Butte and Selden dams, by
the Rio Grande Dam & Irrigation Com
pany, Mr.. Harroun said he regretted
very much to state that from informa-
ton given him by Contractor Taylor.
who is working under ID. ID. Seerie, of
Denver, as well as from other sources,
he learned, the English stockholders of
the Rio Grande Dam & Irrigation Com
pany had practically sold out and thrown
the whole scheme overheard This will
deprive New Mexico of the use of $50,
acres of land which with the irrigation
promised would have added immensely
to the agricultural wealth of the terri
tory. Whether other capitalists will step
in and take up the fight ana carry out the
original scheme is what people in this
territory are awaiting to see. The
milk in the cocoanut" is the opposition
of the projectors of the Ell Paso dam
headed by General Mills, c. r. More
head, Mayor Magoflin and other promi-
nent Ell Paso citizens backed in most
substantial way by the Mexican govern
ment which wants water the worst way
for irrigation on the south bank Of the
river. Mr.. Harroun says there is plenty
of water in the Rio Grande for all the
dams. and he has been told that the
fight is made from Ell Paso by more than
one man ..for what there is in it,.

last night, until 8 O'Clock this morning,
Savannah was in the teeth of seething
gale. The wind blew from 80 to rs
miles an hour, and there have been gusts
when the maximum speed was exceeded.
SO far as was learned no lives were lost
in the city. The adjoining islands are

and street car systems made the streets
impossible for vehicles. The loss to
property amounts to 100000. The rice
crop will suffer especially.

SERIOUS SITUATION
Striking Coal Miners Growing Des-
perate-- Thousands Gathering at
Pana to Use Force.
ARMED ATTACK EXPECTED
Sheriff is Increasing Force Of Armed Dep
uties Operators Are Bringing More
Negro Workmen from the South
to Work the Mines.

Pana, ILL.,, Aug. 31.-More outside re-
endorsements for the lockout white min
ers here have been arriving today. BY
tonight fully 5000 extra miners are eX-
pected to be on the scene. On the other
hand the operators say they will have
300 more negroes here before the close
of the week. Sheriff Coburn has been
hourly increasing his forces in antcipa-
ton of trouble, bringing deputies from
Taylorville, the county seat. l6 miles
distant.
A serious encounter was narrowly
averted between the lockout miners and
100 deputies who were guarding the
Alabama negroes, at the Springside
mine. The clash could not have been
prevented had not the state and
national officers of the United Mine
Workers of America interfered by wiring
the district president, VIM. Topham, to
postpone action until after this morning.
pending an investigation of the condi-
ton of the Springsde mine, which is
alleged to be dangerous, being operated
without a pit boss and registered
engineer.
At the time the message was received
the miners were in secret session in a
large gulch between the Illinois Central
railroad and Pana Coal Company's reser-
voir near the north end of the city, lay.
ing plans to march on the deputies and
negroes at the Springside mine, and
forcibly compelling the negroes to leave.
The meeting was presided over by a
negro miner named Deane, of Danville.
1t was only by the most persistent
pleading and reasoning by President
Topham and other leaders that the
miners were prevented from marching
on the shaft.
The meeting was attended by fully
1000 miners, the only light being that
of the moon, and with guards and
pickets doing duty to keep out all save
United Mine Workers. 1t was pointed
out that the deputies at the Springside
mine were armed with Springfield and
Winchester rifles, while there were only
Two Winchesters and few shotguns in
vne mil.o. 5 crowd. All the men, how
ever, were armed with revolvers.

GARCIA BOUNCED.
Gomez Don't Like the Way He Acted Be-
fore Santiago; and Won't Have Any
Such Goings On,

New York, August 31.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Santiago says: Gen
eral Garcia has been relieved of his
command by General Gomez, acting un-
der instructions from the provisional
government. This is owing to theSdis-
approval of his action during the Shat
ter incident, and because Garcia is
persona non grata to the American
government. At the commencement Of
the war Cuban officers were ordered to
put themselves under the orders of the
American commander. and the letter of
General Garcia to General Shafter is
looked upon as breach of discipline
General Rodriguez will succeed him.

Up to the present time Territorial
Auditor Garcia has received but four
returns from county assessors, of the
assessments made for 1898. The law
provides that each assessor in the
territory must send copy OF the
assessment rolls of his county to the
territorial auditor by the second Monday
in September.
As it is absolutely necessary for the
auditor to have the rolls before making
the apportionment of funds, the
collectors will do well to make the
returns promptly.
