THE owners of the Sierra Madre
line have decided to defer work On the
extension Indefinitely. The extension
of the line into the mountains west OF
Casas Grsndes would have thrown open
a great and rich country to settlement
and development, and this new coun-
try would necessarily have been tri-
butsry to Ell Psso. It is very clear
that Ell Paso merchants do not appre-
ciate what promising market they
havein the.Casas Grandes country. Now
that the hope of extension lies in the
paying development of what the
owners already have in the ground, it
will be advisable for Ell Paso business
men to take an active hand in building
up the country to the. south of us. It
would be well for every man in Ell
Paso who has anything to sell u take
a train to Casas Graudes aud see what
is there.

ILL TIMED.

No newspaper in the United States
will have the temerity to charge thai
the dispatch from the correspondents
al Manila published in yesterday 3
HERALD was not written in entire
good faith, and sent to America in the
honest belief that it would do good.
Accepting it as such, let Us re-
lieye the letter of all sensational fea-
lures. Does it state any facts? Or
only opinions of men who are not mil
itary experts, whatever else they may
be? Again, has q commanding gen.
eral in the field, engaged in active
operations, the right under universal
rules of warfare to reserve whatever
class Of news he pleases for official
ears only? Undoubtedly. The rights
of individuals or of newspapers are
subordinate to those of the nation, and
if the commander has reason, or
thinks he has reason, to believe that
the full public statement OF the situa-
ton at any particular time would
jeopardize his plans, he is in duty
b ound to.suppress such news. Taking
the dispatch as q whole, it is seen to
be merely the statement of difference
of opinion between the military au-
thorities and the newspaper CORES
pondents as to what the facts are and
what they mean.

OUR letters from the Jarillas uni
formly discourage the small prospec-
tor, the visionary Spectator, from
stalking out claims there. There seems
to be no doubt that there is mineral in
abundance, but prospect holes are
worth nothing unless they are carried
deep enough to show conclusively the
worth of the nine. Development
work will bring back It's cost several
hole in the ground will sell for a for
tune. 1t does appear, however, that
for the man with q little capital there
can be no better place to put it than in
legitimate mining in the Jarillas.

strong in come aspects, for we are not
afraid of the truth.

But let the howlers remem ber-let
the democrats remember-that the
president, backed by a mass of expert
and sensible advice Of men who knew,
wanted one hundred thousand men for
provisional army. Who cut him
down to two thirds the number he and
his military advisers considered alb
solutely necessary? The democrats.
Who slashed the military appropria-
ready cut down to the safety notch?
The democrats. Who have tried in
every possible way in the congress of
the United States and elsewhere to
hamper the work of the president in
the Philippines? The democrats. Who
refused to ratify the peace treaty and
thus gave the Filipinos time to arm
and equip themselves after q style
they had never themselves dreamed
possible? The democrats. 1t is not
for them to cry 81 told you so." 1t is
their time tohide their heads in shame.
AS for the republicans, it is their
business at this time to uphold the
hands of the administration against the
cavilers. That does not mean to shut
our eyes to the truth or overlook err
rors. We are not afraid of the truth.
If the correspondents in the Philip
pines have told the truth, and General
Otis is shown to have Rarbled reports
and suppressed the truth in order to
hide his own utter Incompetence, as
many would have US believe, then re-
move General Otis summarily aud put
a better man lin his place. If more
troops are wanted, send the whole ar
my out of the countrys and depend on
volunteers to defend their homes. We
should say, let the people of the United
States know the whole truth about the
situation now: 1t cannot hurt. The
whole strength of the union must and
will be devoted, at whatever cost, to
putting down the rebellion in the Phi
nppines preparatory to any discussion
a. to the future of the islands.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-07-18

Thus, without attempting to contro-
vert a single statement contained in the
dispatch, it is certain that its import
ance is less than it appeared to be at
first glance, and until we, individually,
are convinced that we know more than
the president of the United States, and
are more competent to direct war in
the orient, we should at least withhold
Judgment.

IT will be instructive to watch the
outcome of the eight-hour dispute in

Now it is to be presumed that the
military officers in the field have kept
their .superiors at Washington fully in
formed as to the true situation. If
they have not they are guilty of one
of thesgreatest offenses an officer can
commit. But we have no reason to
believe that the president is in ignor-
ance of the facts. Consider that the
president is comm ander-in-chief Of the
army and navy. He is, it is said, di-
recting the operations in person 80 far

AS to General Otis, we know absolute
ly nothing. We know about as much
as the vast majority OF people in this
country who are so very glib in express

IL Incompetent. Creelman is not a safe
adviser. His expression of opinion as

: Finally, in. the face of the CORES
pondents' dispatch, let US remember
that this is the rainy season, that cam
paigning is suspended, that fifteen
thousand men are now on their way or
will soon be on the way to reinforce
Gen. Otis, that the president Is fully
informed and he Is responsible, that
from time unknown the military COM
mander in the field has ever had his
civilian critics, that the truth cannot
hurt, that the republican party has less
to lose than the democrats by the fail
ure of the present plans in the Phil
pines, If they should fail, and that the
correspondents chose q sensational
method and an unfortunate time to
send their dispatch, which after all
contains no new facts but merely ex-
pressions of opinion.

ton of $4,000 and is celebrated for its
markets. The Fllipinos made strong
resistance but were routed with great
loss. Their killed number 6S and 10
were wounded. The American cas-
ualties were 6 wounded. The Ameri-
can fire in this engagement showed re-
narkable precision and was the most
deadly of the war. The Americans
captured many prisoners, number OF
cannon and large stock Of rifles and
ammunition. The troops were landed
near the CITY and began the advance al
daylight. The Filipino outposts were
driven in and the main body OF the
rebels was charged. A hot fire followed
and the American troops gradually
drove the enemy back. a flank move

moralized tht Filipinos and their slow
retreat was turned into q rout. Tine
fleeing natives were pursued through
the streets of Santa Cruz and for some
distance into the interitc. Then Il halt
was called, guards were ed through
out the city and the men rested. An
other advance may be made later 10 the
day.

Thieves who attempted to rob the
store of Moseley Brothers, at Moseley's
junction, in Chesterfield county, had a
oovel experience Friday night. They
broke into the place without difficulty,
bored into the safe with much skill
and blew it open with dynamite. The
Messrs. Moseley keep in stock number
OF dynamite cartridges for the use of
railroad men. These are kept in the
safe and exploded when the safe was
blown open. Havoc was played with
money, papers and safe. The thieves
must have had narrow escape. Sill
yer dollars were blackeGed and so
twisted out Of shape as to be practical
ly yalueless. Paper money was ruined
rs was also paper securities. There
was very little money in the safe.
