MANILA THE DANGER POINT
Advlces From General Otis Far From

Advlces From General Otis Far From
Reassuring.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The advices
from Manila which have reached the
war department are far from reassur-
ing. It is understood that General Otis
reports an expectation on his part that
the insurgents are about to force an is
sue, and if this should be so the result
cannot be foreseen. Manila itself, and
not Iloilo, as might at first be suspected,
is regarded as the danger point just
now.
while the instructions to General
Otis have been to avoid any hostile clash
with the natives, SO far as that plan
is consistent with the maintenance of
his position, it is realized here that it is
within the power of any excited or in.

But it is felt that, if possible, a conflict
should be avoided just now, for the

realization of the true situation and
peacefully accept the American condi
tons.

Later information as to the demise or
Wilson Waddingham is that death was
instantaneous and due to apoplexy. He
had started to his bank at 20 Broad
street, New York, and ran upstairs at
his home for some papers. A servant
heard him fall in the upper hall, and
found him dead. Mr.. Waddingham was

worker, and remained up Monday night
until II o'clock, attending to pressing
business. He was up again next morn
ing at 4 o'clock, and a couple of hours
later had breakfast with a friend and
transacted some business at the same
time. 1t was soon after this that death
occurred.
Besides the vast mineral, land and
cattle interests in New Mexico referred
to yesterday, Mr.. Waddingham had
much property in Colorado. He was in
Denver a few weeks AGO., having come

Mr.. Waddingham's interests in Colo

The court of private land claims at

Is It Malaria or Alum
popular Science Monthly

Languor, loss appetite, indigestion
and often feverishness are the common
symptoms of a physiological condition
termed malaria All these symptoms
may be and frequently are the effect OF
the use of alum baking powders in food
making. There is no question 0
the poisonous effect of alum upon he
system. 1t obstructs digestion, pros
trates the nerves, coagulates and de-
vitalizes the blood. All this has been
made clear. thanks to physicians,
boards of health, and food commissions.
So ''highly injurious to the health OF
the community does the eminent head
of the University of Pennsylvania, DR..
Barker, consider the alumni baking.
powders, that he says ''their sale should
be prohibited by law
Under these circumstances it is worth
the while of every housewife to employ
the very little care that is necessary tc
keep so dangerous an element from the
food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that shoulc
be used, ought to cost about forty-1lvt
to fifty cents a pound. Therefore, |
you are paying twenty-fi cents or les
per pound the powder is certainly made
from alum.

THE GUAN0 CAVES.
Skeleton of a Little Indian Found in the
Debris.

The skeleton of a little Indian girl
was found at a depth of s feet in the
guano caves near Lava. Although the
body must have been buried for centu-
ries, the peculiar cloth in which it was
wrapped was well preserved. The qua
no beds are in lava ave n there are
but three openings to the caves, the
largest of which will barely admit a
man. The darkness in the caves is ter
rible, and an ordinary lantern Will not
dispel it. An immense coal oil torch IS
used by visitors in the cave, and that
will cast a glimmer no further than III
feet. The series of caves are connected
with each other, and are about S0o rect
long, 40 to 70 feet wide, and 40 feet high.
The caves are full of guano that
have been accommodating for 5000 or
5000 years. There are evidences thai
the deposit was once burned out and
the caves filled up again. The guano IS
deposited by billions of bats, n IS
very rich in ammonia. A natural ava
bridge is neal the cave, and the bats lily
under it in dense masses that look ike
clouds. The crater which threw up the
immense amount of lava, Of which the
caves are formed, is near the guano
deposits. The lava flow extends ten
miles to the Rio Grande river.

LOCAL LAND TITLES.
. Free Survey Can Now Be Made and
Owners Protected.

1t is a curious fact that few property
holders in Santa Fe city or township
hold a direct legal title to their real es-
tate. For years property holders nave
been under the impression that con
gress or the courts would legalize the
old Santa Fe grant, but the supreme
court as we'll as the court of land air
decided adversely, and that the City of
Santa Fe and the township in which II
is situated are government land. 1t Will
be in order, therefore, for every owner
to file small property holdings under
| the act of March 8, 1891, which says
that any holder of government lana
without title to it can procure such IL
tie through himself, his ancestors,
| grantors, or their lawful successors IN
| title if they have been in continuous
adverse actual possession OF any tract
Of land, or in connection Herewith oil
other lands, all together not exceeding
100 acres. in such townships, for twenty
years next preceding the time OF max
ing such survey. Any one holding less
than forty acres can have his property
SURVEYED and a patent made out for it
direct by the government without a
cent of cost to him. For more than for
ty acres a slight fee is charged.
Surveyor General Quinby Vance has
81, 900 of his annual appropriation still
on hand, and will return it to Washlng-
ton at the end of the fiscal year, June
30, 1899, if ~unexpended. This money he
is willing to expend for a survey OF
Santa Fe township, which has never
been accurately surveyed, if a sufficient
number of property holders file small
holding claims. AS the survey will not
cost property holders a cent, they
might and should establish their title
now, and have their land surveyed.
The time for filing such claims will ex-
pire before long, and property holders
may be involved in litigation unless
they establish titles at this time to the
land they occupy.
Another curious phase of this anon
alous situation is that the City OF San
ia Fe does not own it's streets or the
plaza. The law rules that no title can
be acquired to government and that Is
{ being used for public thoroughfares OF
other purposes. If the city wants to
have title to it's streets and to the plaza
it should file it's claim to them now, and
the law would probably be construed
in favor of the city, though later on
serious difficulties might arise if the
city laid claim to the streets and to the
plaza. The city car not collect taxes or
unimproved lands in the city limits be-
cause the land is government property
This is a loss to property holders and
taxpayers, for they are simply assessed
and taxed higher for improvements
they make on their land. There should
be a united movement, therefore, on
the part of property holders and the
city to establish legal title and get the
benefit of a free survey and the $4,000
, the surveyor general is willing to APP
propriate for that purpose If the de-
mand is made within the next few
weeks. 1t might be well on the part OF
, the principal property holders to cal
a public meeting to discuss the matter
and take united action.

Two Drowned in a Shaft.

Frank R. Lloyd, formerly of White
Oaks. the owner of a mine at Mineral
del Orc, Mexico, has been drowned in a
shaft of the mine. The mine had been
shut down six months awaiting the erec-
ton of new hosting machinery. During
this time the water rose 200 feet in the
shaft. On the day that work was re-

were lowered to the water level, but En-
gineer Faulkner lowered them IL feet
below the water surface, drowning both
of the men. The engineer. not cog

to hoist the cage. Indications are that
the two men i n the cage made a des-
perate struggle. to save themselves.

Seeking Treasure.

Several parties are at Coca digging at
the foot of the mesa, on the right bank
of Canon Largo at it's junction with Red
River, for buried treasure. They have
documents saying that a party of French
Canadians drifted to New Mexico in 1776,
during the revolutionary war, and were
killed by Indians. The Canadians, tradi-
ton says, buried a vast sum of gold at
the junction of the Canon Largo and
Red River.
