WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-Regarding
the published statements accredited to
French papers to the effect that the
Austrian government had made a de
mand on Admiral Dewey to confirm or
deny his alleged statements to the effect
that cur next war would be- with Ger
many, state department officials point
out that it would be great breach OF
the diplomatic proprieties to communi-

naval officer directly and outside of a
lawful course. 1t would, moreover, be
a matter of complaint should Austria
have addressed Admiral Dewey on a
matter relating entirely to Germany
and the United States.

RUSHING TROOPS.
Mexican Government Takes Gar
risOn From Mazatlan.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mexico, August 8.
The rebel Yaquis forces are now
thought to have been swelled to 5000
or 4,000'men. The government has de-
cided to reinforce General Loranzo
Torres with the Seventeenth infantry,
which sailed yesterday from Mazatlan
on the government transport Oaxaca
for the mouth of the Yaqui river, leav-
ing Mazatlan entirely without garri-
son. General Torres now has his forces,
consisting of the Fifth cavalry,
Eleventh and Twelfth infantry, mObil-
lied in the Yaqui valley and probably
will not attempt forward movement
until he receives reinforcements. Up
to the last accounts the Mayo Indians
were remaining tranquil.

PiccassO Held to Answer.

The preliminary examination OF
Antoine Piccasso resulted in his be-
ing held to appear before the Grand
Jury on the charge of assault with
intent to kill. Piccasso was brought
to the county Jail last night by Sher-
III Campbell. His head is very sore
from the beating he received. DIR.
Hood was called to attend him this
forenoon. The DR.. found three bad
cuts on Piccasso's head from half an
inch to two and half inches in
length, made by some blunt instru-
ment. The DR.. dressed the wounds.
1t our account of ihe ARRAY pub
lished yesterday, we omitted to mem.
ton that after the cutting Mrs. Puett
armed herself with a revolver and
went in search of Piccasso. Piccassa
took refuge in the cellar of the Rail-
road hotel and remained there until
Mrs. Puett was disarmed. Constable
Mcltosh yesterday found the knife
with which the cutting was zone. 1t
was hid i'll the cellar where Piccasso
hid himself from the vengeance of
Mrs. Puett. 1t is an L X L knife,
sharp on both edges ut the point and
pretty well back on the blade. The
blade and handle were covered with
blood when found. Piccasso claims
that the knife belonged to Puett and
that the stabbing was done while it
was in Puett's hands. Piccasso was
held in $500 bonds to await the action
OF the grand Jury. John r. Wheeler
has been retained to defend Piccasso.
He looked after his interests at the
preliminary examination.
A dispat oh received from DIR. Gard
ner at o'clock this afternoon stated
that Puett's condition was slightly
better, but there were very few
chances for his recovery.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflaned you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness ia the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by

famed condition of the mucous sur

Tho Argument Begins.

This morning the argument in the
Gubernatorial contest in the Supreme
court was begun by respective eoun-
sci and will probably consume two
days.
While considerable time has been
consumed in the trial OF the case and
the argument OF the pleadings, the
contention just now will be in the
main as to which one of the two can
didates actually received the larger
number Of legal votes for the office of
Governor.
Counsel for Mcmillan began their
argument with the introduction of a
classified brief of all the objections
interposed by both sides. 1t was
done for the purpose or clarifying the
attitude, at least assumed by McMil-
lan's attorneys and fully setting out
their claims. The court was present
ed with three copies of the brief and
tollowedit during the course OF the
argument. In brief, McMillan's at
tornoy claimed in open court this
morning that laying aside the objec-
tons by both parties to the individu-
al ballots. the result Of the case shows
this significant condition.
Certain votes must be declared il
legal where the proof has been estab-
ished that voters cast their ballots
away from their home precincts. 1t
has been ascertained that declaring
such votes illegal and disregardlng
them in the recount, Mcmillan would
have majority Of two votes. This
result suggests the thought that if
the popular will is stiIl to be adhered
to and no ballots thrown out for bad
marking, Mcmillan has still shown
that he has majority of the votes
cast for tue Governor at the last cleo
ton.
McMillan's attorneys submitted to
the court that they had prepared their
tabulated statement upon the basis of
the decisions of the court regarding
the ballots already passed upon. By
this process of analogous reasoning
and submitting too that there was
possibility of inacuracy, the state
ment shows that McMillan's attor-
neys claim his election by one hun
dred and fifty seven.-News.
