ton suggesting to Cameron
county land holders the ad-
visibility Of an organized en-
deavor to interest the emigrants
now passing through this coun-
ty Into Mexico. The idea is a
good one. THE HERALD has
previously suggested something
similar, when other parties of
migrating farmers have passed
this way. There have been
many in the last two years who
have gone into Mexico, attract
ed thither by the glowing re
ports Of the great profits to be
made in coff+e and fruit cul
ture. There is indeed no reason
Why our land owners should
not, at least, make an attempt
TO induce these em:grants to
invest fu Cameron county, in
stead of casting their lot in a
foreign land, where difference
in language and custom will be
such 3 great drawback to them.
Here, on the bank of the Rio
GraDde, are as rich and fertile
soils as may be found anywhere
in Mexico. The climate speaks
for itself. True, we usually ex-
perience here few cold spells
during the winter, sufficient to
kin the malaria germs, and in
cure the health Of jewellers of
this region. These emigrants
must see for themselves, as
they drive along the roads of
this sun-kissed region, the
green fields and pastures which

It will tap the Sabino at it's mouth, the ditch at this point being about ten feet deep to bed rock or as close to same as possible, coming down the creek distance of about a mile and half, when 1t will reach the surface, and down the valley a short distance where 1t will reach Mir. Sicocau's field. Mir. Slcocan intends to have another ditch excavated on the other side Of the river, which will cover one or two hundred acres of very fine land, in- surlng water during the dry season, which is from April till about the middle of July. Each ditch will be four feet wide at the bottom, thus in- curing a plentiful supply for all pur- noses in that part of the valley. It Is expected that with these ditches most of the vacant land in the val ley will be brought to high state Of cultivation.

CATTLE MAN FAILS.
Grant GiIlett of Kansas Owes Over n NJ /

non
Abilene, Kan, Nov. 25.-A failure
involving cattle interests throughout
the southwest was precipitated here
to-day when an attachment suit for
$4,000 was filed against Grant c.
Gillctt of Woodbine by the Gillespie
Commission Company of Kansas City.
Gillett controls thousands of cattle
on the southwestern ranges, and his
liabilities are believed to be over u
million dollars.
1t is now known that Monday of the
present week Gillett made an assign.
ment and deed Of trust of all his hold
ings to ID. w. Naill. Gillett at once de.
parted for Texas. Naill, however. re-
FUSED TO accept the trustceship aud ttp
papers We're not filed.
This condition of affairs becoming
noised about, Gillett's creditors came
down upon him in droves. Men repre-
senting twenty-five commission firms
In Kansas City arrived mt Woodbinc
today ON Il special train. and immedi-
ately began n search for Glllett cattle,
which are ranging over central and
western Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian
Territory and Texas. How many
there are none of the creditors seem to
know, but II is stated that there are
about 5000 head on Gilletts Wood
bine ranch.
Some idea of the extent OF Gillctt's
liabilities was gained at the county
registers office here, where fully ST.
Wo,OO of his paper is recorded.
About one-third of 1t Is blanket and
unreleased mortgages. while the re-
mainder covers cattle now being fed.
Most of Gillett's paper is thought 10
have been held by Kansas City banks
and commission firms, hut the firms
who are represented here on the
grounds claim TO be amply protected.

FATAL POWDER EXPLOSION.
BOX IN Reina E;attcry, Havana, Kills o

Havana. Nov. 2S.-A box of powder
exploded this morning near the Reina
battery. killing or injuring thirty-cighl
persons.
The explosion occurred on the Ave
nue. Infanta. between the Santa Clara
and Reina batteries. Many boxes OF
powder Were stored in n private house
which also contained five rooms full
of Mauser and other cartridges. The
careless handling of one of the boxes
of powder or of one OF the boxes OF
cartridges caused the explosion.
The presence of such large quan.
tity of cartrdges-known to have been
brought recently from the artillery
depot-in an out-Of-the-way house,
where they We're stored roof high. has
not been explained. Most Of those EN-.

MARINES LAND IN CHINA.
VIII Act as Guard Over the American l.
cation.

cation.
Washington. Nov, 2G.-rhe United
States navy has landed marines in
China.
dispatch was received Mt the Navy
Department to-day stating That the
captain of the Boston had landed his
marine guard at Tien Tsin. The dis
patch was taken Immediately TO the
White House by Acting Secretary Al
len.
Secretary Hay was called into con-
sultation, with the result of rcassur-
ing the officials and allaying their first
FEELING of apprehension. II seems that
the marines We're landed. not because
of any information of rioting or AT
tacks upon American missionaries, but
solely to act as guard for the United
States legation at Pekin.
The Boston was dispatched to the
mouth of the Pei IIo river several
weeks ago mt the instance of United
States Minister Conger TO provide II
guard for the legation. The minister
represented that nearly all of the le-
cations of the European powers Were
provided with marine guards, and he
did not care to be exceptional in this
case. After lying at Tangu for n while
the Boston worked her way up the
river to Tien Tsin, about the head of
navigation for vessels of her class and
distant about fifty or sixty miles from
pekin.
1t is believed mt the Navy Depart
ment that the marines will he sent
forward from that point in launches
or small river boats.
