TO TAKE CENSUS OF CUBA.
Administration Has Decided on Such
Step.
WILL DETERMINE WHO ARE
CITIZENS AND ELECTORS

Is Preliminary TO Establishing a Repre-
sentative Government--wEI Direc-
tion OF Military Authority of the
United state
Washington. March l3. .-ghs admins
tration has decided TO take census OF
Cuba as complete and careful as that
taken in the United States. A census Is
found necessary to determine who are
citizens and qualified electors, before an
election is held to establish representa-
tive government. This census will not be
taken through or by any organization
claiming TO be representatives of the
Cuban people, but by the authority and
under direction Of the military authority
OF the United States government assisted
by such officers as may be necessary to
carry on the work.
: The government of the United States
has not recognized any assembly or or
ganization, person or faction in Cuba as
authorized to speak for the Cuban people.
They will continue to deal with ndividu-
ais and municipalities as 1t finds them.
No government has been recognized and
none will be until one has been consti-
tuted which Is representative OF the citi-
zenship of the whole island.
The action of the Cuban assem- bly,"
has given the government at Washington
no concern, whatever. 1t is known that
the 50. 0O0, 900 now on its way to Cuba
will be acceptable 10 the soldiers of the
Cuban army. 1t matters not whether
Gomez has been deposed or not, or
whether he accepts his deposition. The
COVER nment will deal with the individuals
of the Cuban army nd the money will
be paid to the soldiers by United States
officers Gomez has BEEN the agent
through whom the negotiations were car
ried on. The acquiescenoe of the "Cuban
assembly" WAS not sought nor In any
way considered. The payment of the Is,
Goa, 000 to the Cuban soldiers Will form II
basis of the proposed census as consider
able information concerning the Cubans
Will be taken at that time. The name,
residence, proposed residence and other
personal history of each Cuban soldier
will be taken when he gets his money
and gives up his gun. This Information
also will be OF use in the future, should
it happen that the men who were thus
paid failed to keep their parole and main
tain the peace. The muster rolls ami
papers connected with all the Cuban
organizations also will become the
property of the United States and be
retained for future use. When the com
plete census Is taken, the same informa-
tion concerning each citizen will be OBJ
taintd as that from each soldier.

GRANT COUNTY PRISONERS.
The Cleanup of Criminal Business by a
Four Weeks Term of Court.

Sheriff j. X. Blair and d. c. Hobart,
of Silver City, the latter acting as the
sheriff's deputy, brought three prisoners
to the p~enitentialy last evening, con-
victed at the recent session of court in
Grant county. One was Victoriano Ri
vero, sentenced for 50 years for murder
ing an old woman named Antonio Sala-
Ear. He is quite a wit, and amused his
companions on the way here with jokes
| and stories. He is an industrious indi-
vidual. and asked that he be put at
some trade in the petiitentiary at which
he could stay as long as ne lives. He
refused to ask for a second trial, telling
his attorney that he deemed his SEN
tence good enough.
Another prisoner was John Peace,
found guilty of rape, and also tried for
incest. He was accompanied by his two
sons, who will be placed in the Brothers
school here. The two little urchins were
a pathetic sight as they loitered in the
office of the Claire hotel. They were
poorly clad, and seemed very bashful.
The third prisoner was Ray Brown,
sentenced to one year in the penitenti-
airy for assault with a deadly weapon.
Sheriff Blair had 80 persons in the
Grant county Jail when court opened,
but now has only 16 prisoners in the
Jail. Court lasted four weeks, longer
| than usual, but there was a large
amount of business to be transacted,
Much credit is due to Judge Parker and
District Attorney Barnes for the eff
cient and satisfactory way in which
many of the important cases were dis
posed of by the court. =.
At this term of court 27 indictments
were found and all of these cases were
disposed of except three, by convictions
or acquittal, and the defendants in the
three cases are out on bail. The 16 in
mates of the jail are serving short sen
fences for petty offenses.

New and Original Advertising

1t is interesting to watch the newideas
always to be found in the advertising Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The present line
Of advertisements is especially unique,
each beginning with a familiar proverb
and leading up to the good qualities Of
this famous medicine. The argument
in every case is clinched by condensed
testimonials from people the medicine
has cured. 1t is gratifying to see the
continued success of an article of genu-
inc merit. While other preparations
come to the surface and after a short
time disappear, Hoods Sarsaparilla has
steadily maintained its place in public
confidence.
