Mr.. Westervelt, agent for the Santa
Fee and postmaster at this point, while
on bunting and pleasure jaunt with G
party of friends visited this remark able
group of cliffs and gathered therefrom
collection of unique and gruesOme
relics and curios in the ruins ard
crumb bling cliffs tottering from age.
The collections consist of arrows,
painted pottery and crockery, corn
pieces of flint. One noticeable feature
of the strange find is the shortuess of
the arrows, the sticks being made of
willows and tied together, by what ap-
pears to be the gut Of some animal.
The arrows are but a foot and half in
length and contain an eagles claw en-
cased in the woodwork at the extreme
point. The shortness of the srrows
again demonstrates the posi- bility of
the owners being of the dwarf or pygmy
class. The crOckery, ware, pottery,
and arrows are of an unusual weight
and resemble petrified wood or stone.

NAVAL BILL |MPER|LEO
An Absolute Decrease IN the
Revenues OF Germany.
IT MEANS MORE TAXATION
Berlin Fears Gold Exports From the
Strained Condition OF the London
Money Market - Great
Pressure Expected.

Berlin, Dec. s.-The government has
been expecting that the growth of the
empires revenue would yield the Iunos
required by Emperor Williams project
thus avoiding additional taxation. In
this possibility is the chief ground 1or
the governments hope of carrying the
naval bill. II, however, the present de-
crease in receipts continue, the pas
sage of the bin will be imperiled. For
several months there has been relative
or absolute decrease, that for October
being $500, 900 marks, when the receipts
for the month are compared with those
of October last year. The government
had expected an increase of 30,O0O,0o0
marks annually, but the total increase
during the last nine months has been
only 100000. The opposition newspa-
pers forshadow a strong insistence
for consideration.
Empress Fredericka has just pur-
chased the Villa Brenzonia, on the pro-
montory of San Vigilio, Lagoidi Grada,
the lacus benacus OF the Romans, larg-
est of the North italian lakes. The
villa stands in a very secluded spot,
but commands one of the most beauti-
full views.
+ The chamber Of commerce will pre-
sent petition to the imperial chancel-
Tor, Prince Won Hohenlohe, requesting
the government, in view of the dis
turbed conditions in Venezuela, to pro-
vide increased protection for German
property there.
The Rhenish winters have dubbed the
1899 vintage THE Esterhazy Vintage"
because it is so mean and poor.
11-o iV,t he nj of n Of
rate dominates the attention of the Ber-
lin money market. At first it was sup
posed that this would not have an i'm
mediate effect here, the British balances
having been much reduced of late. The
near approach of London exchange TO
the gold point yesterday has increased
the fear of gold exports.
The statement of the Reichsbank
showed increased discounts to the
amount of 2s,3o0000 marks and loss
of metal to the amount of 19.600,00o
marks. IT is much more unfavorable
than the statement for the correspond
ing date last year Great pressure is
expected toward the end of the present
month
Reports from the iron and coal CEN
tiers justify the general strength of the
market. A rise in iron prices is looked
for and the same is expected for coal
and iron in Belgium.
Professor jesse OF Berlin university
has invented a method of increasing
the power of steam engines which
! promises to revoluttonize steam engi-
neering. He conducts steam generated
, in an ordinary boiler into a cooling
| tank and then treats it with sulphuric
acid, increasing its power from one
third to one-half. A factory ut Char
lottenburg has been using the inven-
ton for three months and has obtained
6s per cent above the indicated horse
power of its engines.
