County Treasurer Beerbohm

County Treasurer Beerbohm re-
ports that the collections for the
last day on the second installment
of taxes this year exceeded the
total of collections in any one day
in the history of Otero county,
amounting to SIS, ,5S4.47. The total
amount of taxes collected on the
first and second half up to August
I, 1897, was sos, $50. 81. The total
amount collected this year for the
same period, ending July 81, 1898,
was $50, ,72S.I6, a difference in
favor Of the present year of $I5-
368.7o. This is but one of the evil
dences of improved conditions in
Otero county, and it is likewise
one Of the most conclusive, and
ought to be convincing to the most
rampant calamity howler in popu-
listic circles.

Notwithstanding the billion do

Notwithstanding the billion dol
lar congress and an expensive war,
the cash balance in the United
States treasury is assuming vast
proportions. Tuesday it stood at
S254.S32,S27. OF this the sum of
sISe,43i,1eI is in gold. 1t is clear
that there will be no necessitv for
issuing the remaining bonds pro-
vided for by congress or the SIoo, :
600, 900 of treasury certificates. If
the war tax be maintained until
January the government can pro-

A new freight tariff on the Santa
Fe from Denver to points in the
southwest was effective August rst.
This was the result OF systematic
work by the Denver freight bureau.
The Missouri river jobbers have
heretofore monopolized the terri
tory and the case was plainly
stated to the Santa Fe officials,
who finally agreed to the changes
requested in the tariff sheets. The
new tariff enables Colorado manu-
factured goods to be laid down in
New Mexico as cheap, if not cheap
er than Kansas City can lay freight
down at that point.

Trinidad lost two of her daily
newspapers last week, but what is
Trinidad's loss is also her gain.
The Advertiser and Sentinel have
combined and will henceforth is
sue as morning paper under a
hyphenated title. The News and
Chronicle, to be in the fashion, al
SO consolidated and will issue an
evening paper in the future. The
consolidation Of the four news
papers places two enterprises on a
business basis, and they announce
that they propose to make money
in a legitimate way. The pro-
prietors and the people of Trini,
dad will both be benefited by the
change.

officers visited the cemetery. Just after
Generals Wade and Butler had left the
Hotel Trocha for the cemetery, carrying the
floral crown made by the committee of
young Cuban girls who had asked the privi-
lege of paying this tribute to the dead,
carriage was driven up to the hotel with
representatives of the Cuban Club, who
brought an immense floral cross to lay
upon the graves. On learning that Generals
Wade and Butler had already gone to the
cemetery the Cubans followed and over
took them in time to place both offerings TO-

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov 3.-At 2 a. m.
there has not been the general resumption
of windowglass factories that was expect
ed. All Of the pot plants have their fires
lighted in anticipation of going to work, but
enough blowers and gatherers are loyal to
President Simon Burns to make the ques-
ton of resumption doubtful one Several
of the factories on the South Side started
at midnight but with a limited number of
men, The Chambers factory at New Ken
sington is in partial operation, but at the
r. G. Schmertz plant, at Bellevernon, not
man responded to the whistle at midnight.
Another attempt will be made there Thurs
day night. At the d. o. Cunningham fac
tory, this city, there was great excitement.
Men and women were out in force to see
who would disobey Burns A number of
men were in readiness, but when the word
was given to start Burns got on the inside
and ordered idleness. Some obeyed, but
few remained and were made the subject
of jeers by the crowd outside. The police
finally dispersed the mob and no one is al
lowed near the premises of the factory. At
the Phillips plant, just below Cunningham's,
seven blowers are at work and the firm
expects to be in full operation soon.

THE CUBAN ASSEMBLY,.
1t Has Not Yet Organized Owing to
Luck of Il Quorum.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2-President Masso,
OF the provisional Cuban government has
cabled from Santa Cruz del Sur to Senior
Quesada, secretary Of the Cuban delegation
here, saying: Assembly has not yet met,
owing to the absence of quorum" This was
called out by an inquiry from Senior Quesada
as TO reports coming by way of Santiago
representing the Cuban Assembly as in ses-
sion at Santa Cruz del Sur, and engaged in
considering important questions relating to
the future of the island, the disarmament
of the Cuban army and cooperation be-
tween the former insurgents and the United
States authorities. 1t has been stated that
the Assembly organized by choosing General
Garcia as presiding officer, indicating that
the military element under Garcia would
dominate the Assembly. Senior Quesada was
considerably surprised at these reports, as
he was likely to be notified of the conven-
ing of the Cuban Assembly, particularly as
ne has been chosen member Of the Assem-
bly,, representing one of the districts of the
important province of Puerto Principe. He
accordingly telegraphed President Masso for
information, and the foregoing answer was
received.
There are evidences that President Nc
Kinley and his Cabinet have assurances that
the action of the Cuban provisional govern
ment will not be antagonistic to the policy
at Washington. but rather in sympathy with
the execution of that policy. Senior Quesada
is satisfied that this will be the course of
the Cuban Assembly when it begins work.
and it is probable that he made this view
known during a recent interview with Secre-
tary Hay at tho State Department. In the
event Of his leaving Washington to attend
the A Sembly at Santa Cruz del Sur it will
be with the special purpose of securing CO.
operation between the authorities there and
here and Of overcoming frictions which may
arise.
Speaking of the Cuban Assembly, Mr..
toward regular and constitutional form of
government, and it will give way later to an
Assembly truly representative of all the
people of Cuba. For the present President
Masso has called together this provisional
body which is necessarily crude because of
the unsettled condition of affairs in Cuba.
1t is, however, not a military assembly, only
eight or ten out of a membership of forty
eight being from the military ranks The
others are from civil lfe-doctors, lawyers
and planters-and represent the best ee-
mentS in the community. This Assembly
will not form q constitution but will pro-
vide for a constitutional convention, which
will take up the important work of framing
a constitution and establishing permanent
government for the island"
With this programme in view it is hardly
expected that the question of anneXing Cuba
TO the United States will assume large pro-
portions for the present, but will remain in
allegiance until the Cuban government is suf-
ficiently Well established to permit it to ex-
press the wishes of the people Of Cuba on
the question of annexation.

tiles in the Pennsylvania regiment known to
have been caused by the misdirected fire
of a detachment of the First California
