Water Rights

bitches taken outof the Arkansas
river have one or more priorities.
and bitches taken out of its tribu-
tary have two or more, one of which
is the Arkansas river priority. the
other its tributary priority, and
each tributary is turned down to
the river, according to the priority
of its bitches.

DEGREES on Newlin creek are of the
latter class. One dated April 30,
1878. and is Hardscrabble 90 and
Arkansas river III, and calls for
one-half foot of water for such
time and times as are necessary to

other decree of later date and same

Arkansas river $50, and parties
holding such DEGREES are required
by law, after sufficient time to irri-
gate said land has expired, to re-
turn the water back into the nat
ural stream for the use and benefit
of the next oldest priority. BY
this system the water can be used
to a further advantage for irrigat-
ing purposes. However, there is
no question but what man can
transfer whatever right he may
have decreed and no more; that is
to say, that if any water is discov-
cred by development or an under

Later Reports say Firing is Going on
Inland
PoVIsIoNs DID NOT REACH SOLDIERS

Minneapolis, Oct. 6-The Wild
est reports have been coming in
today regarding the Indian situa-
ton on Bear Island. A report re-
ceived at 10 o'clock states that
General Bacon and his entire com
mand of eighty men have been
wiped out of existence. Later re-
ports come of firing inland, and
that the firing is Enthusiastically
that of Krag-Jorgensen rifles.
A boat with provisions, amuni-
tons and camp outfits, which went
north last night, was not able to
meet the soldiers. The boat sig
nailed as it passed by the island,
but received no replies.
Washington, Oct. 6-No official
news has been received from the
Indian uprising. The report of
the entire humiliation of General
Bacon's troop is generally doubted.
General Miles, however, is inclined
to believe the report, but is very
anxious to hear from General Ba-
con direct.
Walker, Oct. 6-The third jexpe-
dition to Sugar Point marched
this morning. 1t was under the
command of DR.. Camp, an old In
dian fighter. The boat which car
ried DR.. Camps command was
loaded with coffee and provisions.
The troops have had nothing to
eat since noon yesterday and have
no whiskey to stimulate their fast
failing strength. The night was
cold, and the soldiers must have
suffered terribly. Reinforcements
have been repeatedly.wire for, but
none have as yet reached the
troops.
The situation is desperate to
degree. Every man in this town
slept last night with winchester
across his arm.
Minneapolis, Oct. GA des-
patch to the Journal from its
special correspondent in Walker,
says: Firing was resumed on
the islands soon after 9 o'clock.
From the reports of the Krag-
Jorgensen rifles I think the troops
are inlanu IL tHlS Is inc case
they can hold their own against
the Indians. Each man was pro-
vided with 100 rounds of ammu-
milton. The reinforcements should
have reached here this morning,
bat have not yet arrived. Every
moment is ten years at this stage
of the affair.
The Indian agent and a United
States marshal say they are in
clined to believe that Bacon's
command has been wiped out.

WOULD LEAD A SQUAD.
Gen. Lee Ready to Serve in Any
Position.

Richmond, Va, April %. 1t is UNDER
stood here that General Lee will unques-
tionably be made a Major General in the
United States volunteer army and will
lead division or corps IN Cuba. He will
leave for Washington Sunday if not Or
dered there sooner and Immediately upon
receiving his commission Will select his
staff of nine men.
When asked If the Virginia troops
would be attached to his command he
stated unhesitatingly that they would be,
and it has leaked out that he wired to
Secretary Alger today suggesting that the
troops destined for Cuba be uniformed in
the lightest possible clothing. When
asked if he would accept anything less
than Major Generals commission
General Lee referred to his telegram, sent
to the Washington authorities from Key
West offering his services for any duty he
might be called upon to perform, and
said: 81 am anxious to return to Cuba
to put to rout the Spanish troops, and I
would accept lieutenant's commission If
it permitted me to lead as much as @
squad in Cuba.

BLOCKADE ONLY.
No Hostile Shots To Be Fired Into
Havana For Awhile.
ESPECIAL TO THE PKEss.l

Washington, April %. The House will
meet tomorrow forenoon two hours earlier
than usual for the purpose Of expediating
the reorganization bill, which is designed
to put the regular army on the three
battalion plan, which is the organization
OF modern armies. 1t is calculated that
this bill will allow an increase of seven
teen thousand regular soldiers without
large increase in the number OF officers.
1t is believed that it will be much wiser
to add these regular than to use an
equal number of volunteers. The high
officials of the army are very much op-
posed to sending volunteers to Cuba at
this season, although Fitz Hugh Lee who
has lived at first class hotel in Havana,
declares that volunteers will be all right
there.

IMPORTANT STEPS.
Blockade Of Cuba and The VoIun.
ateef Dill.

Washington, April 22.-There were to-
day two further important steps in Wash .
ington towards actual hostilities, not to
mention the overt act involved in the
seizure of the Spanish vessel Buena Ven
tura off Key West.
The first was the issue by the President
of his proclamation announcing to the
world blockade of number of Cuban
ports, and the second was the signing by
him of the bill providing for the utilizing
of the volunteer forces in war.
Then in addition there was a notable
retirement from the Navy Department in
the case of Captain r. B. Bradford, chief
of the equipment division. Captain
Bradford is not only an officer of high
scientific attainment, but is we'll equipped
as well in great practical experience in
naval matters. Although he has not held
his present office long and by custom is
entitled to nearly three years of further
service here, he. has become so impatient

But the army officers point out that the
volunteers will not live in hotels but out
IN the open air in climate where it is
often death to a northern man to get wet
80 the skin by the rain. The regular
soldiers are seasoned campaigners who
know how to take care of themselves in
an out of door life. They can probably
campaign in Cuba with somewhat Of the
same immunity that attended tho opera
tions of Scott's regulars around Vera
Cruz. But to send volunteers to Cuba at
this summer season would be to send
them to their grave.
1t is expected that the plan will be to
seize some part of Cuba like Matanzas
and hold 1t as a base, whence ammunit-
ion, arms and supplies may he passed to
the soldiers of Gomez, who will do the
land fighting
An authoritative statement of great i'm
portance was made by cabinet mem ber
this afternoon.
1t was that those people who are expect
ing an immediate bo1nbardment of Ha-
vana and bloody fights at once are likely
to be disappointed. The orders to the
Key West feet are simply to blockade Ha-
vana and such other Cuban ports as can
be conveniently covered by che fleet. No
hostile shots are to be fired into Havana,
for a short while at least, unless the fleet
is attacked in any direction.
The official statement is made that the
from the Spanish fleet now at the Cape
Verde island. The President does not
believe that this fleet will ever move to-
ward Cuban waters. "Spain would not
send this feet over to be swallowed - are
tho words of high official. When the
same official was asked if he Thought
this Spanish fleet would come to Ameri.
can waters to make an attack on any
port he answered in the negative.
"It would meet the same fate as if it
went to Cuban waters, - he said.
He intimated strongly that the Flving
Squadron will be held in reserve to take
care of any Spanish fleet coming in this
direction.
These plans are based wholly upon the
belief that the Key West fleet will not be
attacked by the Spaniards. The war is
to be bloodless one if such thing is
possible.
| In short time, however, when suffic-
lent troops are ready forward move
ment will be made by both the navy and
army. In the meantime it is believed
by the administration on we'll founded
information that the insurgents will har
rass Blanco and his soldiers to despera-
tion.

FLEET DISABLED.

Galveston. Texas, April %. 1T is re-
ported by Capt. Barnes of the British
steamer Astoun, which arrived here today
from Las Palmas. Canary Island that
the delay of the Spanish torpedo feet at
that place which was attributed to the
rough sea, WAS in fact due to the delib-
crate disabling of the engines by the engi-
neers, who did not want to cross the sea,
Repairs it was said, were mado by local
machinists, as the engineers could not be
trusted.
Captain Barnett arrived at Las Palmas
March 81 two days after the Spanish tor
pedo fotilla left that port.
! Captain Barnett says the fotilla did
not want to encounter United States
fleet if it could be avoided.
A disabled barkentine at Las PaImas,
from Philadelphia was undergoing re-
pairs by Spanish dry dock men, but the
latter were delaying ths work in the hope
of seizing her upon the outbreak of the
war.
Her captain is Mr.. McDonough. He
carried crew Of nine men and had his
wife with him. Great crowds Of Span
iards would gather about the American
craft, hurl vile epithets at tho crew and
captain and insult the United States and
it's flag. The only Americans at Las
Pairas are the American captain and
those aboard his ship. Captain, Barnett
expresses fears for their safety.
While there 600 troops arrived to pro-
tect the island from invasion. A lot Of
fine guns for coast defense also arrived.
A big Spanish ship with troops on board
took on large quantity of coal. She
remained at Las Palmas but one day and
left Immediately westward. Another
Spanish vessel was expected to arrive
within two days to take on coal. She
was said to have on board number of
Spanish volunteers destined for Cuba.

Paine's celery compound, the remedy
that makes people well, is within the
reach of all.
AS frequently happens in THE spring
the entire family begins to feel ''run
down." and to suffer with the hardest
disease in the world to diagnose-the
trouble they have when they say, Doc
tor, I don't feel we'll" The advice of
hosts of competent physicians is to use
Paine's celery compound, the one known
spring remedy that restores lost nervous
,snergy, creates an appetite, purities the
blood, and builds up the strength of the
entire system.
Nervousness, headaches, thinness, pale
faces and poor appetites among children
come from the same causes that produce
rheumatism, neuralgia and debility in
older persons-from poor blood and in
sufficiently nourished nerves. Paine's
celery compound is the first, last and only
remedy used in intelligent, prudent
homes. where pains is taken to get only
the best in SO vital matter.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1898-04-23

The pre-eminence of Paine's celery com.
pound over all other remedies, especially
as spring invigorator and blood purifier
for every member of the family, from the
youngest to the Oldest, could not be bet
ter illustrated than III the case of the
Prendiville family of Worcester, Mass.
1t is 30 be remem bered that not one
tenth of all the magnificent cures fairly
due to Paine's celery compound ever get
beyond the knowledge of the immediate
family; that, in fact, few people have
any appreciation of the number OF fami-
lies throughout the United States where
Paine's celery compound is kept con-
stantly on hand, and is being taken. or
has been taken, by some Of its members.
Paine's celery compound has already
done an enormous work. 1t has saved
lives. 1t has savsd health. 1t has saved
homes.
1t is not beyond the reach of the most
modest household, while much greater
expenditure will procure nothing else so
effective.
