ing One.

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
MONTICELLO N. M, Dec 18.-Me-
lecio Garcia, the young man who dis
appeared on the night of the 18th inst,
was found alive.
The tale is this: Garcia worked at
the time with F. F. Smith, a grazier
who lives about fifteen miles from
going to Magdalena; each one had his
team. At night they camped. Dodds
went to a neighbors camp to get some
corn which he needed
While he was gone two men came to
his camp and asked Garcia if he would
let them sleep there. He agreed. One
of them said, Il want to see the brand
of that horse; the horse is mine"
Garcia stopped rubbing the horse
they wanted to see. when suddenly the
stranger caught him by the neck
He called Willie. but only once, for,
they bade him not to shout or talk
for they would kill him.
They made him walk away from the
camp into the San Mateo mountains,
a distance of two miles, when they
tied him to tree, head uown, and left
him.
After a while they returned with
two other men. They united him and
bade him walk, they whipping him and
treating him brutally
One of the men recognized him and
said, He is a Mexican"
Yes Garcia said, Il am pure Mex
ican.'
He would plead as best he could that
they let him live, he would embrace
and caress every one of them to coax
kindness from them.
They asked him if he was not work
ing for Frank Smith; he said yes.
Where is Willie?" they asked
again. Il believe he is at the camp
he said
After he had been walking and they
riding a while they tied his feet again
and reaching the plain they dragged
him about one hundred yards, when
one of them said. Let him lose"
And they did; but warned him say
| ing: Don't you work one day more
for Frank Smith, not one single day"
Each one of them whipped him good
and left. He dill not recognize them
but says they we're all Americans.
Garcia was out two days and three
nights without water. food. or shelter.
His limbs and feet got badly hurt by
the whipping and dragging so he could
hardly walk.
He crawled some time and then he
would go on crutches which he made
with poles and brushwood. Thus he
went the distance Of about twelve
miles. when he reached camp of
shepherds on Sunday morning
From there the people whs were
hunting for him received the news and
brought him to his home.
1t was a touching scene.
A great deal of shooting announced
his arrival. The whole town was
stirred. All assembled at the house
where the distracted mother waited
for her son, but no one entered the
house; forming procession all
marched to the church to thank God
for his watchful providence.

A STEERING
COMMITTEE
SELECTED
At Caucus of the Republican Mem.
bers Of the City Council Held
Last Evening.
DID NOT CAUCUS ON ENGINEER
As Had Been RumOred-cOuncil Will
Insist That the New Official
Be q Republican

Last night, in the chamber Of the Sec
ond branch OF council. city building, n
caucus of the Republican members OF
council was held for the purpose, pri-
,marily Of making nomination for the
bmce Of city engineer, n vacancy having
been, created by the resignation of En-
gineer White, which is in the hands of
me board OF public works.
There was some surprise that council
should caucus on engineer as the ap-
poIntment is made by the board of pub
lie works. with confirmation only by
council. This was explained by one of
the aspIrants for the office, who said the
council caucus action would be in the
nature of recommendation to the
board,
The principal business transacted was
the appointment of steering commit
tee OF four members. two from each
branch, which will outline the party
policy in council.
After the caucus adjourned at 9:4O
CLOCK, IL WIS StdNSu bihb VIC ht'hNNNt
of making a party selection for the Office
of city engineer had been without re-
suit, the caucus making no selection,
but will insist on the board selecting a
Republican.
The caucus 1t is stated, discussed the
situation with reference to the finances
of the city, and it is intlmated that ac.
ton will be taken shortly with refer
ence to placing the refund issue before
the voters for the second time this
spring. In both Republican and Demo-
cratic circles 1t is now believed the re-
fund will carry. for the reason that the
people realize that 1t must be u refund
along the lines of the last proposition,
or an Increase in the tax levy to meet
the $4,000 of the loar principal that
must be met in July
The caucus also discussed the action
of four Republican members of the sec
ond branch in leaving the council cham
Der short time ago and thus making 1t
possible for the Democrats OF the
branch to cleo. a Democratic successor
to Frank j. Gaus as councilman from
the Sixth ward. The caucus showed !:s
condemnation OF this proceeding in no
uncertain tone,

THE COST OF A
 MONTH IN PARIS
You Can Go to the Exposition, Hire Apartment and Live
 for a Song."

Paris, April 10.-"How much can I live upon in Paris?
 This is the question which comes by every mail in letters written by Americans to their friends here.
 How much will it cost me to live in Paris two weeks during the Exposition?' is another form of asking the same pues- tion.
 Others are more ambitious, and desire to hire apartment for the entire season, with view, no doubt to renting rooms to Americans abroad.
 To all these one can only say: Tt de- bends upon yourself"
 If you are wiling to live as the art students live, in little room, with fire place no bigger than a pocket, and a fire so small that you wonder if it will boil a kettle; if you are willing to take your meals out and consume the simple, though healthful, dinner of the tiny French restaurants; if you will burn candles and do without water for bathing purposes; if you can crowd up and down a narrow staircase and sleep in a curtaned bed heavy with the dust of generations and

BELMONT TALKS OF ADMIRAL DEWEY Says His Candidacy Cannot Be
 Regarded Seriously. NOMINATIONS ARE MADE Says Silver Will Not Be the Prime Issue in Coming Campaign on
 Account of Congress
 Recent Action.

New York, April go. H. P. Belmont returned yesterday on the Lucania from an eight weeks tour in Europe He said to reporter:
 T was astonished to hear of Admiral Dewey's candidacy. I do not think from any standpoint of politics that the admir- ars bid for the presidency is important as exceedingly sorry that he should have been led in so unfortunate a situation.
 As a matter of fact, I think the nomi- nations are already made. The respective tickets this year will be headed by the same men as in 1S96-McKinley and Bryan. It is my candid opinion that should Ad- miral Dewey run as an independent can didate he will draw more votes from Me- Kinley than from Bryan. As between Bry- an and Dewey no true democrat would vote for Dewey, for it Is we'll known that Dewey is a republican at heart.
 Much has been said in my absence con- cerning the delegation of silver to a minor position in the campaign. I do not regard finance as an issue in the presidential struggle of this year; it is purely acade- mic The matter has been practically shelved by the action of the present con- gress.
 "I do not think public interest centers on the financial question. It rests rather on imperialism and the trusts It is upon this line that the campaign of 1900 will be fought.
 T am very strongly of the opinion that the attitude of the administration toward Porto Rico will prove injurious to the re- publican party as well as to Porto Rico So also the war in the Philippines is de facto, a mere republican invented market to sell such products as Armour beef, Car negie steel, ammunition, etc., and the manufactures of other republican pets to the extent of S2OO0O0, 900 a year.
 These are the people who furnish guns, ammunition, clothes, beef and so forth, and it is for their benefit that the repub licans are spending $zU0 900 per annum."

TOBACCO LAWSUIT
Blackwell Durham Company Lose the
 Big Case

Raleigh, N. C., April 29.-The decision of Judge Simonton in the Blackwell Durham Tobacco company case was received here yesterday. It Is in favor of the American Tobacco company on every point-making the receivership permanent, and ordering the sale of the property.
 This is a suit, brought by officers, di- rectors and employees of the American To- bacco company, who are also large stock holders in the Blackwell company, to have receiver appointed for the Blackwell company and close up it's affairs
 The suit was against Blackwells Dur ham Tobacco company and minority stock holders in 1t, and was based on an inter- view with Major W. A. Guthrie, one of the minority stockholders, in which Major Guthrie declared his intention to ask the legislature to repeal the charter of the Blackwell company on the ground that it was a trust. As soon as the interview ap- peared, the president vice president, sec retary and several directors of the Amer ican Tobacco company went before judge Simonton at Charleston and asked that receiver be appointed The petition was granted, and P. S. Hill, secretary of the American Tobacco company was named as temporary receiver.
