 lust before reaching this beau tiful arcade I met an elegant car riage drawn by two fine animals in which was a party of gentlemen, travelling through the country upon business trip. The chief of the party was MT. Schuster, general agent for the New York Mutual Lite Insurance Company, his ex- amining, surgeon, Doctor Brosas, and Mir. Demetrio Velasco of Noga- les, who was accompanying the party as an interpreter. They were en route to Ures, but intend return ing over the same route.
 At the end of the arcade, which shades the road nearly mile, the traveller ascends a little eminence and he is in the town of Arizpe, the old time capital of the Spanish "intendentes" who from this seat of empire ruled in the name of the King of Spain all that vast region now comprised in Sonora, Sinaloa, Lower California, Arizona, Calif- ornia, Nevada and parts of Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.

 At Arizpe resides Doctor Johnson from Silver City, New Mexico, who established in the practice of his profession in Sonora in December last.

 Remaining at Banamichi over night circulated around consider ably, making acquaintances among the business men. It is quite a little town, and when the Santa Elena mine is in operation 1t is a very lively place, for large part of the population find steady em- ployment at good wages, and of the large amount of money thus put into circulation the business houses of Banamichi all get good ly share. They are now all hoping that he reported impending resump- ton of operations at the mine may materialize.
 The principal business house in Banamichi is that of Corella & Mo- lima Brothers, who conduct large  general merchandise establishment, and flour mill. The latter is of the old fashioned burr stone variety. The firm also own the two fine haciendas at the juction of the lower Santa Elena road, -Bacache and La Mora. They are enterpris- ing, progressive gentlemen, and respond readily to any proposition for the advancement of their region.

There is but one town-Sin- oquipe- and that is very small. Oc- casionally the canon widens out aud there is an area of cultlvable land, which is occupied by small ranche. One of these is irrigated by an acequia that is said to be fully two hundred years old or more, having been built by the Jesuit fathers early in the Spanish occupation of the country. The acequia skirts along the precipitous walls of the canon above for dist ance of several miles, and is oi solid masonry, built up against the rocky cliffs in the most solid, subs tantial manner.

proportion to their numbers the Amer

Second Amnesty Order for L 200 Prisoners

Manila, May S.-The liberation of
another 1000 prisoners to celebrate
Gen. Tinio's surrender will begin this
week and the liberation and transpOT-
tatiOn to their homes of the 1000 Fill
ipinos who were set free by Gen. Mac
Arthur, to signalize the issuance Of
Aguinaldo's proclamation, is nearly
completed.
Several of the Filipino officers who
have surrendered have sent a petition
to the authorities asking that a mixed
American and Filipino command be
organized to proceed against the Ia
drones and volunteering their services
against these thieves and outlaws. 1t
is probable that some of the former
rebel leaders viii be employed for this
purpose, as they are familiar with the
customs of the outlaws and know their
hiding places.

Death Rate BAT Per 1000.

Washington, May IA comparison
of the annual death rate per 1000 in
habitants of Manila, with that of
some of the large tropical cities, and
some of the populous centers of the
United States, as shown by papers re-
Gently received by the division Of in
sular affairs of the war department,
will be of interest. The annual death
rate per 1000 Of Manila for 1900 was
34.47; Hong Kong, 1888; Mexico, 81;
Bombay, 51.36; Rio JaneirO, Bill; New
York, 2O.53; Philadelphia, 1888. a
comparison Of the respective causes
of death shows that there is Practi-
calIv no cause for alarm in the
plague figures, but the number of
deaths attributed to other causes
is in some cases rather high. All over
the world, one-seevnth of the deaths
are from pulmonary tuberculosis, in
spite of all epidemics and plaques.
Next to infantile diseases, the highest
number of deaths are recorded under
the head of pulmonary tuberculosis.
For instance, Manila's vital statistics
for the month of December recorded
1O8 deaths from pulmonary tubercu-
lOsis, and $50 from infantile diseases.
As violence of the seriousness with
which pulmonary tuberculosis has
come to be regarded by health author
tiles all over the world, it may be
stated that San Francisco has institu-
ted a quarantine against all cases of
consumption which enter that port.
The disease is extremely common all
over these islands, due to the climate
and the peculiar susceptibility of the
native constitution to the disease. Tt
would seem that there is more 10
fear from an increase of this COM
plant than from an epidemic of
plague. There is no record that the
Philippines were ever visited by big
epidemic of bubonic plague, and it is
most remarkable that while the dread

AN INTERNATIONAL ASPECT.
At FL Paso the Representative OF
Two Republics Took Part in
the Mckinley Reception.

FL Paso, Tex, May THE Ameri-
can and Mexican flags were inter
twined in the decorations Of the plaza
where the official greeting Of Presi-
dent Mckinley and his cabinet took
place here yesterday morning. The
presence on the stand of Gen. Herman
DEE, personal representative of Presi-
dent Diaz, and the governor of the
state of Chihuahua, gave an interest
ing significance to the event. There
were thousands of Mexicans in the
vast cOncOurse of people to whom
the president spoke and their enthu-
siasm was almost as wild as that Of
the Americans. Gen. Hernandez adj
dressed the president on behalf of his
president, extending the latter's con-
gratulatiOns, and President McKin-
ley IN his response paid a high trib-
ute TO the president OF the Mexican
republic and charged his emissary to
convey to his chief his warm regard
and personal esteem with his best
wishes for the continued prosperity
Of our sister republic.
The presidents speech was very
happy and was especially notable on
account of his injunction to the PeO-
pie not to be alarmed about imperial
ism. There was, he said, no imperial
ism except the imperial power of the
sovereign people of the United States.
