R0RTO RICAN THIEF CAUGHT.
Stole Public Funds and Made His
Way to France

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The state de-
partment today received a dispatch from
Ambassador Porter at Paris stating that
Jose Castro Garcia, fugitive from ius-
tee from Porto Rico, had landed at
Havre; had confessed to the charge of
embezZing public funds. and had CON
sented to extradition. The American of
ficers had been on the lookout for Gar
cia for some time. He was one of the
tax officers of Porto Rico and, after the
American occupation, disappeared and
was charged with embezzling public
funds He came first to this country.
The officers learned on which ship he
took passage for Havre, where he was
apprehended. He at first denied his iden-
tity. and the Spanish authorities inter
ceded in his behalf An accurate descrip-
ton was sent, however, and this probably
brought the confession and consent to ex-
tradition which Mr.. Porter announced to-
day.

WAS ALMOST A WATER FAMINE.
Dcadwoods Acdun Pura supply ~
sadly Deficient.


The inadequacy of the city water
supply Is the sole topic of conversation
ut Deadwood just at present during
the past two weeks. during the dry
spell. ii was demonstrated beyond a
doubt that the Homestake Mining
company had not the facilities TO fur
nish the city with all the water that 1T
might need. especially during a long
dry spell. Before the recent rains
many lawns were partially dried up.
owing to the fact that there was no
water with which to sprinkle them.
In many sections Of the city there was
Just water enough for ordinary use.
There Is now some talk Of the city
erecting a pumping station down the
creek ard supplying the city with wa
ter when the mining company's supply
is insufficient All are agreed that the
conditions as they existed during the
dry spell, cannot be gone through
many times more.
So short was the water supply at one
time that it was impossible to sweep
the streets. and the wind blew the dust
over the city in great clouds.
