SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 2l.-The
Texas Veterans and the Daughters of

that it was a frost and that they are
afraid 1t will injure the fair this fall.
The flower bstsle and trades display

the proposition by the business men OF

business interests Of the community is

Speaking ON the subject today, A.
w. Clifford, manager of the Orion Min
Ing company, said: II am d crank on
the point that El Paso's present and
future success depends upon the de-
velopment of her surrounding mineral
resources. They sre equal to those cf

OF q mild and most desirable climate,

of transportation on low grade ores.

age it by investing few dolsrs) say
yesterday, Real estate Is about as high
as we can expect it to go unless some
thing is done of a substantial nature 20
back up our building boom of the first
year. 1t can't be manufacturing until
the question of cGeap fuel is solved and
the only tangible thing is our mining.
All OF Us, men, women and children,
should take hold of mining, encoursg-

CUBAN RUMORS
Engage The Attention OF the Cdbi
net And Secretary Root.

Engage The Attention OF the Cdbi-
net And Secretary Root.
WASHINGTON, April 21,-It is said
that the resolutions introduced yester-
day by Senator Bacon providing for
an investigation into the rumors that
army officers 10 Cuba are receiving
paw from Cuban funds as we'll as from
the United States treasury, and that
some of them are dwelling in palaces,
luxuriously fitted, at government ex-
peuse, folling in elegant equipages, for
which Uncle Sam pays, and otherwise
disporting themselves in regal splen-
dor, will expose a condition of affairs
in Cuba which will give rise to mum
Der of scandals.
Secretary Root has made some sd-
missions on the subject which senators
do not care to discuss st this time. he
said, ga half dozen or so officers of the
army are drawing Cuban money" He
would not specify, because, as he says
he desires to reserve this information
for the senate.
"Thls matter has received careful
consideration by the admin istratiop
and by the cabinet" he explained,
''and 1 am going to make more allow
ances when the list is ready for me to
examine

for the making of Ell Paso what it
should be, and must be-tho greatest
mining and smell ing center Of the en-
tire southwest.
Said Mr.. Clifford: Il was please to
hear this expression from q real es-
tate man. 1t was evidence to me that
people were beginning to think and
dealers, and even business men, are
calculating on the production of cab
bages, beets and turnips, or upon fruits
and grapes for FL Paso's future great
ness, they mig ght as well balance up now
to failure, for we are short on water
and long on drought. And because Of
this condition for three hundred miles
surrounding Ell Paso, 1t is neither an
agricultural or stock country, but on
the contrary, it is great undeveloped
mining country, capable of employ ing
thousands OF men, who when employed
will become consumers OF such vege-
tables and fruits as can be produced
through expansion irrigation"
"Of course we want United States
mint and every thing elsa we caa ge t
that will encourage mining. And a
N int would do more for Us just now
than anything else we could get. It
would be far reaching in its benef to :.
1t would benefit the big smelters as
we'll as the small miners. 1t
would bring other smelters
here. 1t would bring refners which
would soon make Ell Paso great
smelling center and this would bring
thousands of miners here with their or e
for treatment who now go elsewhere.
"Our Chamber of Commerce., our
bankers, and our enterprisiug business
men should be as unit in asking for
q United States mint. Ask and you
shall receive.''

Special Dispatch to the HERALD.
HOUSTON, Tex, April 2O.-The
Trans Mississippi congress adjourn
ing. Just before adjournmen en'
the following resolution, offered
several days ago by b. D. Slater, OF El
Paso, was unanimously adopted;
Whereas, 1t is proposed to construct
by the joint action OF the United States
and Mexico, an International dam
across the Rio Graude at Ell Paso, and,
Whereas, the riparian residents in
Colorado and New Mexico claim tbas
the construction of such dam would,
unless Otherwise expressly provided,
seriously affect their water supply for
irrigation purposes,
Therefore, be it resolved, that It is the
sense Of this congress that the proposed
international dam near Ell Paso
should be constructed without un-
nee essary delay, in order, frst,to settle
the vexed international dispute that
has long been source of friction be
tween the states and territories OF the
Rio Grapde valley in the United
States and the northern portion OF
Mexico, and, second. to afford relief 70
the people of the Rio Grsnde valley
a. and below e. Paso, that have suffer
ed greatly from lack of water: but
We DID emphaiicaliy that no provis-
ion should be made by treaty or by
statute that would operate to deprive
the people of New Mexico or Colorado
of their rightful proportion Of the
water of the Rio Grande.
Other important business today wss
the adoption OF a plan for the orgsniza
tion of the congress on permane nt
basis. Before adjournment the ex-
ecutive committee reported plan for
a permanent organization which WAS
adopted. Under this plan the follow
ing officers in addition to those already
elected were named: Chairman OF the
executive committee, E. K. Moses of
Great Bend. Kans., vice chairman, A.
S. Goetz of Carlsbad, N. M, secretary,
Robert G. Morris of New Orleans,
treasurer, George r. Harrison, ir, of
Glasgow, Mo.
On the Nicaraguan canal, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
THAT we note with deep regret the
delay in the passage of measure of
such supreme Importance to the best
interests of our country as the Nicara-
guam canal, and we accordin ely would
respectfully urge upon the national
congress the enactment into a law of
the bill now pending before congress-"

SOUTH AFRICA
The Operations Of the Week Of No
Striking Interest.

LONDON, April 2l.-Nothipg furth er
has been received concerning the fight
ing at Glen, north of Bloemfonsein.
a fact nothing of Importance from
South Africa has come through.
There is increasing speculation as to
the line Roberts will take in his ad-
vance. Iii is not known whether the
field marshal will steer straight for
Pretoria or will first move eastward to
Wepener, where the Beers are again
reported to be defeated.
Just what the third and eighth divi-
slous are doing in the eastern part of
the Free State is a mystery. They have
been there over week and, according
to dispatches from Oorloogspoort. near
Dewatsdoprt, they have effected q
juncture at that place. It would az
pear that the objective point of these
forces was Wepener, but if they are
planning to bag the Beers there, they
are taking what looks like stupidity
long time to do it.

notable work in India and Afghanist-
tau. Other missionary workers OF note
who were conspicuous figures about
the conference headquarters today
were Bishop Thoburn of India, Henry
Japan, George e. Post OF Syria and
Fl. N. Barnum OF Turkey.
The inaugural session of the congress
