the United States land Office at Santa
Fe for the fiscal year ending June 80
has been made up and forwarded to the
general land office at Washington. The

more satisfactorily prove the growth

joyed during the year and is enjoying

previous year was G., 2,S9014, as against
a total of 101, ,607 acres for the year Just
past. For the previous year the home
stead entries covered 5403563 acres.

Graphic Account of the Chinese Trouble by
Former New Mexico Residents.

Rev. Robert COltman, frequent Wis
itor to Santa Fe in former years, when
he was at the head of the Presbyterian
school for Indians at Albuquerque, and
having many friends here and through
)ut New Mexico, reached San Francis
GO few days ago from Pekin, China,
accompanied by his wife. They We're in
the thick of the Chinese troubles, and

stances. Their son, DR.. Coltman, has
been in China for a number of years,
md has served as physician to Ii Hung

kim my son told me that there were
lbout 300 foreigners in the city. Minis
'er Conger told us that we need not be
ime without fear Of trouble. Sir Rob-
'rt Hart was very certain Of the pro-
-ection of the empress dowager. Such
nice old lady she was, he said. She
hasn't done much to protect the for
,igners. wrote my son from Tlen Tsin,
md his answer showed the danger of
he situation. 1t was very critical, he
said, but all had hope of the cloud
blowing away.
'He said he would join us as soon as
he could get out, but in the light of
later events 1t would seem that he new
er got the chance. His children are, or
were, six in number: Robert, aged 49,;

us more nervous.

The Monocacy was to our left. She had
on board number of refugees, and the
forts fired at her repeatedly, and once,
as you know, hit her. We saw that shot
from our steamer.

shells bursting over us and around us
with danger on every hand, sleep was
out Of the question. 1t was as danger
GUS below as 1t was on deck, and fan
cy I was less nervous out in the air
where I could see everything that was
going on.
"It was awful to think what execu-
tion those shells were doing, but 1t was
grand to see them. They burst over us
in front OF us, and all around us, and
pieces from one struck a vessel near US

the people on our steamer were Chinese

JAPANESE IN HAWAII.
Blikado Believes They Are Being III
Treated and Stops immigration.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 22.-Ad-
vices from Honolulu say that F. Hirai,
secretary of the trade bureau OF the
foreign department of the Japanese
government arrived here by the
steamer America Maru, being specially
sent to inquire into and to report to
this government on the question OF
losses suffered by Japanese subjects,
in connection with the quarantine and
sanitary fires during the plague epi-
demic and the accidental fires follow
ing them. There is feeling in Japan
that the japanese in Hawaii are dis
criminated against in measures adopt
ed to stay the plague and in the mat
ter Of compensation to be allowed for
their losses.
The Japanese government has taken
steps to prevent any further immigra-
tion Of their subjects to the Hawaiian
islands while the present situation
lasts. There are at present more than
a thousand Japanses in Honolulu with
out employment.

ENGLAND WILL ACCEPT,
Is Willing That the United States Shall
Have Same Rights in Nicaragua
Canal She Has I'm SueH

NEW YORK, March ga special to
the Herald from Washington says;
There are good reasons now for be-
lieving that Great Britain will accept
the Davis amendment TO the Hay
Paunoefote treaty under which the
United States will have the right to
place the same safeguards around the
Nieanguan canal as the British gov
ernment enjoys in respect to the Suez
canal.
1t was strongly ntimated to your
correspondent by diplomat usually
well informed. that Great Britain, with
some show Of reluctance at first, will
in the end accept the amendment. The
informant also expressed the opinion
that all of the European nations will
join in the neutrality agreement con-
templated by the treaty. notwithstand-
ing the Davis amendment.
Senator Davis will urge considera-
tion OF the treaty at an early date, as
IL II illS htilCA AilAN NiNdA blitNIl VIII

The object OF the Davis amendment
is in effect To place in the hands of the
United States the same authority for
the control OF the Nicaragua canal
which Great Britain enj )ys in respect
to the Suez canal-that is. the United
States shall have the right to take
measures it may find necessary for Sc
curing by its own forces the defense
Of the United States and the mainten-
ance of public order

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

The recent wonderful accomplish
ments in wireless telegraphy bring to
mind fOrcibly the value Of electricity.
1t is probable that much work will be
saved by means of this subtle fluid.
There is no limit to its possibilities.
Applied to material objects, it causes
them to move as with life, while with
out 1t the human body cannot be strong
and healthy. The best means Of filling
the body with vitality, is by the use
OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Lack
Of life in the stomach causes indiges-
tion, dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness and malaria. Any Of these symp-
toms means the bitters is needed at
once. Just now, when the seasons are
so variable, it is particularly valuable,
and regular dose will keep the bowels
active and healthy.

that the railroads in this section had
not paid much attention to legislation
at Washington in recent years. and

would be made to the interstate COM
merce law.
Changes in the law" said the sena-
tor. would not affect us much and
we could earn a living under almost
any law that could be made. But I
understand that considerable opposi-
tion has developed among Western

In view Of Mr.. Depew's close asso-
citation with the Vanderbilt system.
his statement is taken TO mean that
the Vanderbilt interests are rather in
favor Of the proposed changes. In fact
it is generally believed that Senator
Depew may be counted upon as one
of the champions of the proposed
changes
Directly opposed to these views is the
attitude of some Of the Western lines.
Vice President Clough, of the Great
Northern. is quoted as saying that his
line did not approve Of the amendments
on the ground that an uniform classi-
fication could not well be maintained
on account Of the different demands
OF different sections of the country.
Shippers. too. are not of one opinion
as regards the proposed changes.

cent meeting. adopted and recommend
