to Send Some.

washington, March 4. = Admiral
Dewey is again pressing on the navy
department the urgent need Of vessels
of light draft as a means OF commIni-
cation among the numerous small
islands Of the Philippine group. To
this end the gunboat Vixen, which
figured bravely for q vessel Of her
light caliber at the outset Of the Cuban
campaign, has been ordered to be i'm
mediately fitted out at the Norfolk
navy yard for sailing for Manila.
This will take about a month, and IL
will probably be three or four months
before she joins Dewey's fleet.

Eddy in the columns of the HERALD

terdsy General Manager Greig
said: "Things certainly look
very bright at present and
we feel safe in saying that the coal
fields will be tapped on or about July
first of the present year. Good & Com
psny have the contract for the con-
struction of the main line and they are
preparing to make the dirt fly as soon
as it is possible for them to do 30. 1t is
the intention of the contractors to
complete the road TO the coal 6elde
June first and this will give US one
months time in which to put coal On
the market at this point. 1t will be q
great thing for Ell Paso as all the sup
plies will be purchased from this point.

medy, and I think with considerable
success, only being in bed 3 little
over two days against ten days for the
former attack. The second attack 1

How To Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that Pneu-
monia always results from q cold or
from an attack OF Ia grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted IN
pneumonia, It was observed that the
attack WAS never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts any
tendency of q cold or Ia grippe to re-
suit in that dangerous disease. It is
the best remedy in the word for bs
colds and la grippe. Every bott'e
warranted. For sale by all drug

Mayor Phelan's Welcome
To Lord Beresford

Mayor Phelan spoke briefly and to
the point. AS if in anticipation of what
was to be said by Lord Beresford, he
outlined the subject that would be dis
cussed by the English admiral, dwell
ing on it's great Importance, and point
ing out the fact that by reason of his
Investigations Lord Beresford was in
a position to throw much light on the
subject of the future trade of this coun-
try and that his words of advice should
be attentfvely listened to and given the
greatest consideration.
The Mayor was followed by United
States District Judge w. w. Morrow,
who on behalf Of the judiciary warmly
welcomed Lord Beresford, and at the
same time dwelt on the great impor-
trade with the East. He alluded brief
Iy to his Lordship's record as an officer
and a statesman, and he paid him high
tribute for his bravery, sterling quail
ties as a man and astute reasoning as
a director of affairs of the great ma
ton that he represented.
Horace Davis of the Merchants
Association followed Judge Morrow.
He briefly outlined the growth of our
Eastern trade up to to-day, and
pointed to the necessity of properly
looking after it's future. When he had
concluded. Mr.. Newhall rose and in
troduced Lord Beresford. AS the dis
tinguished officer came forward to bow
his Acknowledgements to the assem-
blage he was given a perfect ovation.

to say even before he spoke. First, it
was evident that he was Of that sturdy
Anglo-Saxon stock. though born in
Ireland, that has been in the habit
of conquering everything that it
comes in contact with. He is of the
average height, well built and holds
himself as erect as an arrow. He pos
sesses genial happy, open counte-
nance and keeps his face clean shaven.
His brow is high and ponderous. His
mouth indicates that firmness of char
acter that he has exhibited on more
than one occasion. He has a pair Of
gray eyes, that while they are gener-
ally sparkling with good humor, have
at the same time that certain power Of

fact that he means every word he ut

distinctly. He stands squarely on his
feet and uses hardly any gestures For
the most part he kept his arms locked
behind him, and whenever he wished
to emphasize a particular statement
he did so by leaning forward and
punctuating his words by slowly plac-

out the Americans to a place where he
