The Instruction Has Stop
ped Cattle Shipments
FROM HERE TO CUBA
Probably Win Be No Revival This
Sedson-Mexican ! Cattles4 Are
Getting Thin-The Total Ship
nonfC

Perhaps the best posted man in El
Paso on the cattle shipping question
is W. J. Cox, who has this season
shipped many thousands OF Mexican
cattle to ba via Ell Paso.
Concerning the late slump I'm the
Havana market which has vitality
affected Ell Psso shipments Mr.. Cox, in
An interview this morning. advanced
a novel and undoubtedly true
theory.
1.-THE cause of the fall in prices in
the Havana Market said Mr.. Cox. sis
the extensive and unprecedented i'm
portations of live stock from Venezue-
Ia Right now Venezuela is In the
throes of q revolution and the insur-
gents are meeting with some degree of
success. They operate principally In
the mountains, aud the wilder portions
of the country, and, since they have no
regularly organized commisssrlat, tney
simply come across herd OF ex-
cellent cattle, and live of them.
"As a result the cattle owners down
there are selling their stock at almost
any price, aud it is an actual fact that
they are disposinp of fine beef cattle at
as low prices as 81 to S5 per head.
SIT is question OF that or nothing,
and they prefer the small return that
the Cuban market brings to the GER
t8lnGy OF ln6lr 6LOck USluS sdCIiuooo w
the Insurgents. Shipping facilities
are so poor comparatively that it is.not
an easy matter to get the cattle over
to Cuba, and this is another considera-
ton which brings down the price.
The ports of Venezuela reall are
not much farther across from CUBA
than the nearest ones OF the United
States and Mexico.
'sThis state of affairs explains, in
great measure, 1 think, the fall in
prices in the Havana field. We are
Shipping nothing more from Mexico
except a present shipment which am
handling today over the T. & z. and
do not see that there is much opening
for the immediate future.
1.-THE late snow storm presaRed the
beginning of the end in Mexican
shipments for this season anyway, be-
cause the cattle in chihuahua are be-
ginning to lose flesh, aud any hard
weather like that of q week or 80 ago.
only hastens the process and thins
them out in weight rapidly.
"There will be little tallow on these
cattle shortly, and no market for them
until next season."
Mr.. Cox goes east with this ship
ment and will not return to Ell Psso
until after the National Live Stock
convention at Fl. Worth.
The other shippers of Cuban cattle
also have ceased operation in the Ha-
yana field.

Night before last John Sullivan

poor beast. A veterinary surgeon

ASTATEMENT OF FACT.
And an Example OF Live Newspaper
ACtion-A Herald Account OF
Dec. Fl At Last Reaches the
Hard Times.

On Dec. q, the day of the return OF
President @. B. Eddy, of the Ell Paso
and Northeastern, from his eastern
trip, the HERALD published an au-
6horlzed and authoritative interview
with him, in which he made these
statements:
From the knowledge | have gained
of the railroad situatiun on my eastern
trip, and as result Of conferences
with various railroad afficials and with
the people interested in our own road,
I am prepared II predict that within q
year an extension to the north and
west will be made or making with the
Ell Paso and Northeastern"
Now to begin with" said Mr.. Eddy.
1.-THE White Oaks road will under no
cir cumstance nor condition extend it
self. AS we have repeatedly said and
shown, the directors of the company
are too we'll satisfied with the road as
q paying proposition as 1t Is, and be-
tween ourselves, it is now OF far more
advantage to this city in developing
territory tributary to Ell Paso than it
can ever be as a part OF through
line system"
These statements were clear and ex-
plicit.
The following day, Dec. p, the sub
stance of the interview was repu olished
10 a morning paper, the Hard Times.
Mr.. Eddy denied his interview in the
HERALD. That same day Mr.. Eddy
reiterated what had been said in the
HERALD.
The statement was sent out the
night of Dec. p, bv a correspondent
of outside papers, that FL Paso people
expected northeast connection and
were consequently jubilant. That
same statement was published in a
Fort Worth paper, and on Saturday
last, Jan. 6. it appeared in the st.
Louis Globe Democrat as a telegraph
dispatch from Fort Worth, along with
an article concerning an increase in
Mexican rates which had appeared in
the HERALD of Dec. %.
This morning the Hard Times
of Ell Paso copies the
Globe Democrats distorted dis
patch, with a misinterpretaGion of
its purport. and has following an in
terview with Mr.. J. A. Eddy, who had
nothing to do with the original inter-
view.
This sort of thing seems an absurd
ity.

A BIG CAVE-IN.
Will Delay the Anticipated Entrance
OF the Santa Fe Into Frisco.

VI the SdnId re TITO fT1SCO.
The Santa Fe will not get into San
Francisco for long time yet, and any
change in time affecting FL Paso will
not be made therefore for many
months.
The biggest cavern that has been
recorded in railroad construction for
years happened in the three-mtle tun-
mel the Santa Fe is constructing on its
way to Point Richmond, where ex-
tensive docks have been built and
from where trains are to be taken on
immense barges across the bay to San
Francisco.
The San Joaquin Valley line had
been utilized to it's northernmost point,
and from there work began six months
ago with a great force of men to ex-
narrow strip of bay. Although the
amounts offered were tempting, the
Santa Fe had not been able to purchase
terminal facilities in Oakland or ter
ritory north of that city, the Southern
Pacific, at that time, bitterly contest
ing every foot of the way.
A barrier of mountains doomed up
between the point and the San Joaquin
extension and after surveying grades
aud solving several difficult engineer
ing problems, it was decided to tunnel
through.
The tunnel was the last remaining
work to be accomplished. The barges
were ready and the rails were laid
from the point to the western end of
the tunnel. Then the great tunnel
caved in before the engineers ad an
opportunity to strengthen 1t. Among
local Santa Fe officials doubt Is ex-
pressed as to the course the engineers
will now pursue to reach the point. 1t

The extent of the cavern caused a
temporary pause, and 80 days, it is now
given out from headquarters, will be
consumed before the great bore can be
cleared.

The Boston & Maine.

President Lucius futile, of the Boston &
Maine Railroad, issued a statement yes
terday in which he says he had suggested
TO the president of the Fitchburg road that
a mutually advantageous arrangement be-
tween the Boston & Maine and the Fitch
burg could be made IL the Fitchburg peo-
pie were willing to accept guarantee of
5 per cent. on their preferred stock, which.
of course, carried guarantee of per cent
on common stock, most Of which Is owned
by the commonwealth of Massachusetts,.
The Fitchburg people, President futile
said, now have the matter under consider
ati@n. The statement was called for by re-
ports concerning Boston & Maine affairs.
Among the stories was one that the Van
derbilts have acquired control OF the Bos-
tor & Maine, or, by controlling the Ameri-
can Express Company, the Vanderbilts
practically are in control of the Boston
& Maine. President Tuttle says: 81 wish
to say and to say emphatically as Ian
guage can express it, that all the stories
about the Vanderbilts directly or Indirectly
controlling the Boston & Maine stock or
Boston & Maine management, or having a
large ownership In Boston a. Maine. are
absolutely without foundation. The Ameri-
can Express Company does not control the
Boston & Maine, nor Is the express COM
pany SD controlled by the Vanderbilts.
