Interest from the date of their issuance
and will be cold to the highest bid
der.
1t will probably take q month to
have them autographed and submitted
to the state authorities at Austin for
approval. Bids will be called for and
no doubt the usual number of bankers
and brokers will come forward with
their bids, as Ell Paso securities are in
great demand throughout the country.
Already the city officials have
received four letters of inquiry con-
corning the bonds, and the outlook is
that the entire $4,000 issue will be
gobbled up with the greatest avidity
by eastern capitalists.
In all such cases the state retains
the right to invest the surplus school
funds in municipal bonds, paying
therefor at the price offered by the
highest bidder.
Several of the parties, who have al
ready written letters of inquiry, wanted
to know IL private bid would be &C.

strong opposition developed ag ainst the
issuance of the city hell bonds, but it
was not sufficient to defeat the project.

Special Correspondence of the Herald.
LAREDO, Texas, Oct. 23.-The past
week has been one of excitement here
and not without it's sensational fea-
lures, so much so in fact that Judge
McLane of the district court has been
obliged to reconvene the grand jury.
The immediate cause of this action
lawful action of some of the negro SOL
diers at Fort Mcintosh of the U. S.
military post here.
Every time the soldiers are paid off
here some of them come into the city,
and after tsnking up, proceed to do
thetown In regular "hOodlum, fashion.
This has caused q number of encounters
between them and the local policemen
of the city, many of whom do not un-
derstand American any better than
the negroes do Spanish, and the latter
claim these policemen have handled
them pretty roughly in making ar
rests. Some time ago the negroes
threatened that there would be 's hot
time in the old town" the next time
the police interfered with them in
their lawless pranks. The occasion for
the carrying out their threat presen ted
itself on Wednesday sevening, when
having been paid off again some of
them came into the city and after hav-
ing gotten glorious drunk proceeded
to do the town as heretofore, making
it very dangerous for law-abiding citi-
zens to be out on the streets, neither
old or young, male or female being
free from their insults.
One IF the American policemen,
Willie Stoner, one of the most efficient
on the force, noticing huge butcher
knife sticking out of the
pocket of one of trio of
the disturbers, arrested them
stngle-handed and alone ana took the
murderous weapon away from the
negro, starting with him to the city
hall. The other two broke away and
running to the post, returned with q
number of their comrades. among
whom were two non-commissioned Of
fcers. The party overlook StOaer AID
his prisoner before he had landed him
in the lookup, and the officers promis-
ing to be responsible for the prisoners
appearance in court next morning,
Stoner considered discretion the better
part of valor. aud the officers word as
good as his bond, and turned him over
to them on their promise that they
would get the negroes to go back to
the post and cease their disturbance.
Instead of doing this they all congre-
gated at Troy Johnson's negro saloon
on Hidalgo street near the Interna-
tional railroad depot and between
drinks prepared to do up the police
force according to recent threats, and

HIGH RENTS
Many Resident Landlords Bent On
Getting All the Revenue Pos

S1bIe.
One thing that causes high rents
in Ell Paso," remarked merchant this
morning, us the fact that the city
board of equalization has run tax as
sessments sky high. The property
holder has to retrench himself, of
course, and the only way be can do it is
by raising rents.
Another thing that probably In flu-
ences nonresident landlords to squeeze
their tenants is the fact that the new
papers all over the country and at
home are constantly emphasizing the
assertion that FL Paso is on a boom.
AS soon as the nonresident owners of
rental property become inc bued with
this ideatheir consciences begin to hurt
them and they fear that they are not
getting as much income from their
property as might be derived. They
Immediately notify their agents to
raise rents and there is nothing for
him to do but carry out intructions.

GOVERNMENT MAY HAVE TO gle Z A
SMALL LOAN.
1t viii be on Account Of Increased Ex

Gates of Deposit.

"A
Gates of Deposit.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Secretary
Gage and other officials of the Treas
ury Department are of the opinion
that the enormously increased expen-
ditures which will be made necessary
on account Of the increase Of the army
in the Philippines will not make it
necessary for the Government to in
crease the war taxes or to issue bonds
The only possibility of this kind that
any Treasury official is willing to adj
nit is that it may be necessary to Sc
cure a small loan by issuing certiti-
Gates of deposit, according to the pro-
visions of the war revenue act; but
even this contingency is not expected
to arise.
The Paymaster- General Of the army
has as yet made ne estimate of the
additional expenditures to be made
necessary for the army in the Philip
pines but the Treasury Departments
opinion as to the ability Of the Govern
ment to meet the expenses without
Embarrassment is based on fairly ac-
curate idea of what will be demanded
in the way Of funds.
Secretary Gage believes that the ex-
penditure will not be more than ST.
coo per man. II, therefore, every
soldier allowed by the army act Of the
last Congress should be enlisted the
cost on account of the army would be
/ 800, 900, 900.
The cost of maintaining the regular
army in time of peace was about $780,
900, 900 for 25, 900 men. Secretary
Gage expresses the opinion that the
income from the war revenue act will
be sufficient to meet the increased ex-
penditures on account of the army.

The Hottest Battle of the War.

During The big battle that followed,
when the main body was brought up
to support the two lone companies, our
men were without protection OF any
sort most Of the time. They were con
cealed little by a fringe OF bamboo
and scrub that ran along the river
bank and that lined the road But
there was nothing in any of, this STUFF
that would stop or even hinder very
much any kind OF bullet the insur-
gents had to fire. Our only protection
was the old and well-tried one of
well-directed and hot fire OF our own.
The roar Of the guns was incessant.
and all the afternoon the people OF Ma
Mia, ten miles and more away, knew
that the expected battle Of Zapote was
on. In a single ten minutes, out Of
about fifty men lying in a road behind
the approach to the bridge three were
killed on the instant, one was wounded
so severely that he did not live to reach
lie hospital, and six others were hit
more or less seriously. 1t looked for
little time as II nobody was going to

Tales Of the Big Battle Of zapote Told by
an Eyewitness. "..

At times the fighting on the island
has progressed very Slowly, II seems
to me, writes the Sun correspondent,
but business was taken up with vigor
and dispatch south OF Manila, after the
capture OF Las Piaas and Paranaquc,
1t had not been intended then to go
ahead as fast as We did, but there were
unexpected developments, and General
Lawton Is not the man to lose any ad-
vantage simply because it comes to
him when he isn't looking for it. Our
outposts had been established pretty
well down the road below Las Pinas,
perhaps a mile or little moro from
the center of the town where the
church is. One evening when Gen.
Lawton was out a little beyond the
southern outposts some insurgents hid
den in the woods few hundred yards
away took a few shots at him. That
set him TO wanting more than ever to
know just where they could be found,
and he started out the next morning
with two companies. c and i of the
Twenty-frSt, TO make reconnaissance
on his own hook. It was called a re-
connoissance in force, but the force was
mighty small for the work that degel-
oped for t. 10 do. AS Gen. Lawton
said, after It was all over, he started
out to find the enemy and he found
them by large majority.

long before the shell got even with him
and 1t never did get near him.
The first shell the rebels let go at US
came just over the heads OF the men
OF Kenly's battery, who had stationed
two three-inch guns and two of the
mountain guns just at the left OF the
road at the outpost, and burst a few
feet behind the guns.
There was such a row when II burst,
and so many things fell to the ground,
that at first we thought they were FIR
ing cobblestones at us. But when we
looked for the stones we found that
they were iron balls about an inch and
a half In diameter. Then We remem-
bered that there had been vast piles
Of such things in the Old navy yard
a. Cavite, and That was probably where
the rebels got their ammunition. There
could be no doubt that the thing they
were shooting was a smooth bore, and
inasmuch as in the first days OF the
row with Spain last year they were
permitted to take as many such old
relics as they wanted from the yard
in Cavite, 1t became apparent what
manner of ordnance they were using.
Their aim was all right and they had
the range down very well. The main
difficulty with their execution was that
the shrapnel were so old that the pow
der had all gone bad and the bursting
charge didn't work worth cent. When
the thing blew up instead Of scattering
those little iron balls all over a ten
acre lot, there was hardly enough force
to separate them one from another,
and they fell all together.
