without any fortification. 1t has
possibly 800 Spanish families or
mixed bloods, and round about are a
number of Indian villages, in each
one Of which is a priest who con-
ducts the mission. There are only 80
soldiers in the garrison, poorly
trained and poorly armed. There are
some mines very near there, which
are not worked. There are others
in the province which are held in
the name of the king of Spain, and
from which the silver is transported
every year to Old Mexico by caravan.
''It seems by one of the letters at
tached, that the governors seize mer-
chandise which comes there. and
carry on the little commerce which
is done there, which the priests and
others would like to carry on.
"'The nation Lalitane spoken of in
the journal is not Christian, like the
other neighboring nations, but it is
at peace with the Spaniards. The
Canadians assert that the little mer-
chandise which they have distributed
to them has had great effect there,
and that this nation would be en-
tirely for US if we had some trading
establishment in the country.
"May first, 1740, the explorers,
seven in number, one having married
in the country, set out from Santa
Fe, with the design of finding the
Mississippi, and returning to New
Orleans by road opposite to that
one which they had taken.
"On the second they arrived at
mission named Pequos, where they
remained two days.
"On the 4th they set out from
there and camped on river of tho
same name They thought that the
river might be branch of the Red
River or the Arkansas. They fol-
lowed 1t on the 5th and left it on the
9Th. On the 7th they came to an
other stream running in the same di-
rection as the first which they named
River Jument Mare River]. They
left that and struck across the coun-
try, taking the direction which they
had in mind, and on the 10th came to
third river which they thought
must flow into the Red or Arkansas,
and which they believed was the
same branch on which they had en-
countered higher up, when going to
Santa Fe, the first evidences of the
Spaniards They were then about
100 miles from that city, and they
thought one would have to go as far
as that place when they returned, in
order to make certain this discovery.
"On the 18th, 18th, 18th, they fol-
lowed this river. On this last day

tion to come here. The same day
they met party of Laitanes with
whom they camped.
"On the 18th, following the same
river, they found river Of the Lait-
anes where they saw many horses.
There they camped. The Indians
made feast for them and gave them
some horses in exchange for knives
and other trifles.
"They continued following the
stream until the 22nd. The night of
that day they lost six horses. From
the 22nd to the 30th they went into
the land little more and this day
they met two male and three female
Padokas, whom they shook hands
with, but little time afterward
fear seized the Indians. who threw
away the meat with which they were
loaded and fled with their women
without it being possible to bring
them back.
"June 9Th they returned to the
bank of the river, which they fol-
lowed until the 14th. The 18th, 18th,
18th, 18th, and 10Th, they remained
in camp, and having deliberated
on the course which the river seemed
to take, they resolved to abandon
eighteen horses and to make canoes
of elm bark to travel in. This was
done, although they had only two
knives among the four. They had
travelled then $50 miles by land from
Santa Fe.
con the 2Oth they embarked in two
little canoes, and made 25 miles, the
river not having much current.
son the 21st they made the same
distance. They saw two fine rivers
flowing into the stream they were on,
which might have been the Pequos
and Jument which they had crossed
near Santa Fe. At length OH the
24th they were agreeably surprised to
find themselves on the headwaters of
the Arkansas. They had made then
1O5 miles with canoe. They found
below the fork a cabin of Canadians
who were hunting to procure meat
for sailing. AS they had nothing
left but their arms and some ammu-
milton, they went OH the chase with
the others, and loaded pirogue with
salt meat, with which they went
n f0 Ar,lyo from,
there to New Orleans. "

been baptized. They engaged him to
guide them, he hoping to secure his
liberty. He agreed to do so and they
travelled that day 25 miles to get
away from the Indians.
"On the 10th, they got sight of the
Spanish mountains, at distance of
more than 25 miles from them, and
on the 18th they camped at the first
mountain. The 18th they camped
with three lodges of Indians to whom
they made a small present
"On the 14th they found still an
other river. which they named Red
River, but which in all probability
is still another branch of the Arkan-
sas, and 53 miles from there they
found the first Spanish post, which is
mission called Piquouris.
"On the 18th they had met three
Indians to whom they had given a
letter for the commandant at Taos,
who had sent to them the next day
some mutton and very fine wheat
bread.
"While they were about three miles
from the first post. the commandant
and the priest came out to them
with crowd of people, who received
them very kindly and even enthusi-
astically according to their story.
"On the 21st, they left Piquouris
and at noon arrived at another mis-
sion called st. Croix. After dinner
they passed by another one called
Cagnada, and they camped at a
country village called Sainte Marie,
where they were very well received
by the Spaniards
"On the 22nd they arrived at
Santa Fe, having made 6621a miles
from the river Of the Panimahas.
The certificate hereto attached shows
how they were received and how
they lived during the nine months
they were there while waiting
for word from the viceroy Of Mexico.
it is not strange that they had to
wait so long because it is 1880 miles
by land from Santa Fe to Old Mexico,
and only one caravan a year makes
the journey.
"The reply of the viceroy was,
according to the report OF these
Canadians, to try to have them
remain in the country, and
they thought there was the de-
sign to employ them in making the
exploration of region, which, &C

NEVER soCRURL GOVERNMENT
Ambassadors White Declares Treat
ment OF Hebrews In Roumania
Not EQualled In history.

A private letter written by Ambas-
sador White to Henry Selgman of
Frankfort-on-the-A regarding the
treatment Of Hebrews in Roumania
appears in the Frank urter Zeitung.
The letter, which was not intended
for present publication, is in part as
follows:
''The Roumanian atrocities are SIM
ply monstrous and startle the civil
lied world. l have just received tho
Roumanian Bulletin. No document
~ equals it in cruelty since the series
of laws with which Louis XIV. per-
secuted the Huguenots. But even
these, which have hitherto been re-
garded as the acme of cruelty, are
exceeded by those in the Bulletin. I
cannot believe that right-thinking
Roumanians or the civilized powers
can allow this condition of things
to continue. It appears to be open
defiance OF law, justice and common
decency."

TO CURB MENDICANTS.
Novel Method Similar to the Rogues'
Gallery to Be Adopted in
New York City. ...

In his annual report of the work
of the central council of the Charity
Organization society, of New York,
President Robert de Forest describes
a novel method which has just been
adopted for the purpose of detecting
and Furnishing professional beggars
and syndicates of mendicancy. It is
proposed to establish a record bu-
reau similar to the rogues' gallery Of
the police department, where detailed
records of beggars are accessible, the
object being to deter habitual mendi-
cants from plying their trade in New
York and other large cities.
After admitting that for 20 years
she had been sending begging letters
to prominent people, including re-
cent ones to high government Off
Gals, Mrs. Annie Mayors has been
sentenced to the workhouse for six
months. Agents of the Charity Or
ganization claimed to have about
1000 letters signed by the woman.

Giant Coast Defender LIS Sent from
Watervliet Arsenal to Sandy
Hook Proving Grounds.

The 16-inch coast defense gun, which
was manufactured at the Watervliet
arsenal, has been shipped to the Sandy
Hook proving grounds. The largest
crane in the world had to be pressed
into service to load the gun on the
boat.
Under the direction of Col. Farley,
commandant at the arsenal, the gun
was loaded on specially constructed
car weighing 34,27O pounds and slowly
moved to the arsenal dock, where, by
means of the crane and mammoth
derrick, it was swung onto the barge.
The following are the dimensions of
this great weapon of coast defense:
Length over all, 40 feet 80 inches;
diameter at breech, feet; bore, 16
inches. It's construction was begun
May IA, 1898, and it was finished June
10, 1902. Some faint idea of it's power
can be obtained by the statement that
it shoots a projectile weighing 1870
pounds distance of 81 miles. II

ROYAL MARRIAGE HELD WRONG
Present System Held n esponAible for
the Lnck of Male Heirs of
European Monarchs.

The recent birth Of a second daugh-
ter to King Victor Emmanuel of
Italy has suggested the idea to one
writer that the custom of European
royal families of intermarrying is
perhaps responsible for the unfor-
tunate lot of many reigning houses
in this respect.
Whatever the reason is the follow
ing are undeniable facts: The en-
perors and kings of Europe number
II. OF these IS reign under So
called Sale law. Of these IS no less
than fve-namely, the emperors OF
Russia and Austria, and the kings Of
Belgium, Italy and Wurtemburg, have
to-day to look for heirs outside Of
the direct line of succession, because
they have only daughters. Besides
these, Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
is as yet childless, and the grand
duke of Hesse is without a son.
The grand duke of Luxembourg is a
middle-aged only son who has
daughters, but no male heir. After
his death there are absolutely no col
lateral heirs in the male line. En-
peror William, with six sons, is the
best monarch in regard to this point
of view.
The Spanish throne rests on the
head of delicate posthumous youth,
and the only son of his father. King
Edward VII. has only two sons, one
of whom is dead. In Servia and 9TH

PRIEST WAS TOO REALISTIC,
duces Features to HeiEhten the
Effect and Creates q Panie

A priest while preaching in the
church of San Carlos, at Naples, tried
to impress upon his congregation,
which was drawn from the poorest
and most disreputable of the inhabit-
ants, with tie terrors of hell. With
the view of heightening the effect Of
his oratory he had placed behind the
altar in the sacristy confessionals q
man who, while the priest wildly de-
picted the torments, howled, walled,
groaned and ratified chains. The per-
Torrance was SO realistic that the
congregation fed in terror, and
many were injured in the crush at
the doors. The police have warned
the priest to abstain from his dan
perons theatricals:
Turkey is buying guns. We thought,
says the Chicago Kecord-Herald, the
Armenians were all killed off.
