San Antonio, Texas. Oct. 81
News reached this city ye,ter-
day of a bread riot in the town OF
Puruandius. Mexico, October %,
in which twenty people were
wounded, many Of whom will die
The riot is the result Of a corn
famine which has prevailed in
that part of Mexico for months,
and the action Of mOnOpOlies in
advancing the price of corn to a
figure that prevented the poor
classes purchasing enough for
their needs.
Some time back the Mexican
government, on account Of the
famine, removed the duty on
corn from the United States, and
shipments from the States for a
time served to relieve the Situa-
ton. Spectators, however, GOT
hold Of all the corn shipped into
the Puruandias district and at
once advanced the price 100 per
cent.
The natives, many of them be
ing women and children, adj
vanced on the corn warehouses

doors, finally breaking them in.

Washington, Oct. 3l.-The long
ordeal to which Admiral Schley
has been subjected since Monday
morning ended yesterday after
noon when his cross examination
was concluded. When the Judge
advocate finished the cross X-
animation shortly after 3 O'Clock
the court prOpounded to the ad-
miral Il number of queS tions pre-
pared by nemb ers of the court.
These ques lions touched many
points of the campaign OF the
lying squadron, but mainly cen
tered about the difficulties en-.
countered in coalins and the
reasons for the retograde move
M t. Not one of them related
to the battle off Santiago.
me Judge advocates cross -eX
aminatiyn today covered the re-
tro grade movement, the recon
naisSance of May 81, the loop Of
the ,,Brooklyu and the alleged
colloquy with Lieutenant Hodg-
son about the Texas.
One of the interes ting features
OF the day was the development
OF the fact that the report of the
battle written by Admiral Schley
July 8, 1898, was not the original
report. The original report has
never been published and in ac,
coraance- with q previous decis-
ion the court today d ee:cc:1ITTTc-1tT to
allow it to go into the records.
Admiral Schley was allowed
to explain, however, that Admit

the first report because it did not
mention tho presence of the New

II felt that the victory" said
Schley in explaining the
"was big enough for all,

Of interest to Rice Men.

Among the decisions handed
down By the circuit court Of APP
pealS last Tuesday were two in
the Frazer G Mason canal cases.
These cases have been generally
watched by rice men and people
are pretty familiar with their
general trend.
In the case of Frazer & Mason
VS.. James z. Nicholas, the plain
tiffs demanded a certain rent
(one-ffth Of the crop Tor furnish
Ing water for defendant crop
fog the season of 1899 The de-
fenElant made a re conventional
demand for damages because Of
the failure of plaintiffs to furnish
sufficient water to make a good
crop. The court in deciding the
case upheld the view of the lower
court that irrigatlng companies
can collect only for actual Dene-
fits conferred on the farmer, and
are also subject to bear their
part Of the loss inflicted by Il par
tiiI faiiuac to furnish water.
The Judgment OF the lower
court was affirmed with costs.
The case Of Frazer & Mason VS..
Henry Nicholas, while based upon
the same sort of deal, took tt diff.
ferent course. The court held
that as defendant had made no
effort to dispose of his rice, but
showed a desire to reach an ami
clble settlement, the writ of
seQuestration should be dis
missed. with an allowance to de
PENDANT for attorney fees. The
500 damages allowed him on
such writ, however, were re-
iected. The lower court was
overruled on question of default,
the circuit court decreeing thata
demand by the defendant in the
presence of one witness was a
legal demand, the defendant him
self being a competent witness.
The jul gment of the lower
court excluding damages IN re-
convention because no demand

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed
another band of counterfeiters and Sc
cured large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleyerly executed that
the average person would never sus-
pect them of being spurious. Things
of great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators but
no equals for Indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, nervousness and general
debility. The Bitters sets things right
in the stomach, and when the stomach
is in good order, it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength and
vitality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware of counter

iets-inlets to and outlets from these
reservoirs where they are off the line
of tie stream; the construction of main
high-line bitches so as to bring the
stored waters to a point where they
may be available to the settlers; and
the expenditure by the settlers them
selves of from $25 to $50 an acre in the
bitches and side bitches nee essary for
the reclamation of the land.
Now, the purpose of the irrigation
movement is simply to enable the Gov
ernment to bring these waters to a
point where they may be available by
private enterprise or by cooperation
of the settlers for the reclamation of
the arid lands. And with reference to
that | will say the storage of water
costs on the average about So per acre
foot, and that if : acre-feet of water
are required for every acre of these
10000, 900 acres it means 150,000,000
acre feet; SO that, assuming all the
water for these 75,0O0,000 acres were
stored water, it would cost $3.50, ,00O,-
600, or 81, 500, 900 annually for a period
of one hundred years; but this water
would not all be stored water The
stored water would simply be used to
supplement the flood waters. The
latter would be ample for all during
the early months of spring and sum-
mer, and the stored water would only
be used to perfect growth toward the
harvest season. And so it is probable
that 10000, 900 acre-feet OF stored water,
costing about $150, 900, 900, would, with
the aid OF the unstored flood waters,
reclaim these $4,000, 900 acres. But in
addition to that, the settlers who re-
claim these lands will spend an amount
aggregating many times that much,
and will to that extent increase the
wealth of the country.
Now, let me say that the reclamation
question is not one of large proper
tions 1t will be undertaken very
gradually, and there is now pending
before this body, reported by the Com
mittee on Arid Lands, and pending be-
fore the Senate, reported by the Com
mittee on Public Lands, a measure
which provides simply that the West
shall reclaim itself; that the proceeds
of the sale of public lands in that
region shall be put into a special fund,
to be called the "Arid-lands reelama-
ton fund.-" giving the Secretary of the
Interior the power to go on and con-
struct storage reservoirs and hydraulic
works essential for the reclamation of
the arid lands; that the fund itself
shall be the limit of his operations.
He can make no contract except when
the money is actually in the fund.
That for fourteen years, or twenty
years, may say, we have been press
ing this question upon the considera-
tion of Congress, and whenever we
have pressed the question of construc-
ton Congress always says: "We do
not know enough about it. Let us in
vestigate more. We will deny you
half a million or million dollars
which you ask for construction and we
will give you 100000 for investiga-
ton" And SO we have gone on for
years spending, as the gentleman says,
nearly $l,800,0o0, and | venture to say
that double or treble that amount
would have accomplished all the stor-
