the territory are loath to admit it, that part
OF the country is in the throes OF race
war thar is becoming more apparent each
day. The beginning Of the trouble dates
back at least fifty years. when the Mex
leans were virtually the lords of the terri
tory. Gradually. as the Americans have
come in and taken! the reigns OF govern
ment and industry into their own hands.
the power and prestige of the Mexicans
has declined. Once wealthy and proud
families are now reduced to poverty and
daily association with those were once vir
tually their vassals.
BIZ bv bit conditions have become more
and more in,olerable for large part Of
the Mexican element, and now despera te
effort is being manifested on the part of these
people all through the territory to regain
their Influence both in political and busi-
ness circles. In some sections, notably at
Las Vegas, the war is being waged
relentlessly.
The opinion is expressed by many that
the removal of Judge Mcmillan was
brought about for the purpose of fostering
the schemes of those who hope TO benefit
by the race war

The Eagle sees no necessity TO reviewing

Deen selected to take his place. However.
the introduction of the race war into the
case as lever to lift himself above the mire
is great injustice to the native element
of the territory and while there may be
bad blood among the politicians Of Las
Vegas, we doubt if it arouse from the caus-
es alleged in Judge McMillans statement
in the foregoing And as to the opinion ex-
pressed. by many that his removal was
brought about for the purpose of fostering

fitted by the race war. that is not true
and is gross insult to New MexicaDs.

Gas Explosion.

AtII O'Clock last Friday night terrific
explosion of gas occurred in the Du,chman
mine at Blossburg. causing the instant
death of six. John Bell was Immediately

far when the second explosion took place,
seriously injuring Bell. Musselwhite and
an unknown man. They were rescued by
others of the party. who were near the
entrance, aud escaped injury.
There has been much trouble from gas
in this mine since it was opened. but until
Friday night no casually had occurred. An
immense ian, propelled by two powerful
dynamos, has been sufficien, 10 keep it
nearly clear OF gas. but during a heavy
storm a week ago one OF the dynamos was
burned out, and the speed OF the fan has
not been as high as before. However.

candidate for appointment to the position

department was so dense, the influence OF

impressed by it, that when the only afida-

Judge Mcmillan states that the allega

band of disappointed and unscrupulons
office-seekers and their followers. The
men who made sworn statements against

CUBAN TRADE FALLS OFF.
Annual Report Of Consul General
Steinhart.

Steinhart.
The Department of Commerce and Labor
has made public the annual report Of f.
Steinhart United States consul general at
the port of Havana. The report indicates
the United States is neglectng Its export
business to the new republic, and that If it
should take advantage of opportunities 1t
could greatly increase Its commerce to
Cuban ports
Mr.. Steinhart says that while, since 1880,
the imports into Cuba from the United
States have fallen off most perceptibly it Is
noticeable that the imports from Germany
and other European countries have been
largely on the increase. He intimates that
the Cuban field for American commerce Is
not fully appreciated, and adds:
Large shipments Of hardware, both from
England and Germany, are constantly
being made to this republic, and inquiry as
to the cause for such shipments brings out
the fact that many of our manufacturers
refuse to devote portion of their output
for export, and Cuban buyers, finding that
they are unable to get their orders filled in
the United States, naturally turn to the
European market.
IF at some time in the near future our
home market shall have been supplied and
manufacturers are forced to turn to other
countries to find an outlet for their produc-
lions d1hculty Will be experienced in divert
ing the trade Of Cuba from established
channels, and the Undertaking will be
found both expensive and doubtful of sue
cess. 1t is to be hoped that the American
manufacturer will anticipate this situation
and take prompt steps to remedy the fall
ing off in trade between the United States
and Cuba.
IF pending treaties between the United
States and the republic of Cuba are rati-
fed large influx of Capital Is expected.
improvements will continue to be made,
which naturally carry with them employ
ment for those now unemployed"
In dealing with the general condition of
affairs in Cuba Mr.. Steinhart presents fig
ures showing comparative state OF PROS
perity in the island. His report shows that
from May 20, 1902 the date when the re-
public was established, tot December 81,
1902 there was an exesss OF revenues over
expenditures of 81, 626 S6l,

WELL PROTECTED.
Portland's Defenders, Now Ready for
Attack of the Enemy.

Portland, Me9 Aug. 1S.-The search
llShts which have been stationed all
about Portland harbor for the war
game, were tried, tonight, and the har-
Dor was brilliantly Illuminated. The
forts We're also signalling by the Ar
dois system of red and white lights and
at the torpedo station at Fort Gorges
rockets and bombs were being used.
The spectacle was watched by thou
sands in the city and at the various
resorts about the bay.
One of the important signal stations
will be that at the easterly end of Long
Island and, today Major Straker took
a detachment of 106 men to the place
to guard it. A detachment of IS men
also went down the bay to Orr's Island
and another detachment went to
JEWELS Island. These troops will be
able to warn the forts of the approach
of hostile ships from the east.
The two companies at Fort Levett
were also reinforced by more regulars
and later the four companies of Mas
sachusetts Heavy Artillery and one
company of infantry from the I'd Maine
Regiment will be stationed there. The
signal station at White Head on the
easterly end of Cushing's Island is pro-
vided with searchlight and is also
connected by the cable with the har-
Dor forts.
The torpedo company at Fort Gorges
is preparing the dummy torpedoes
which are to be located about the har-
Dor. but these cannot be sunk accord
ing to the regulations until war is
declared which will be at midnight,
Sunday. The work of locating the
buoys to mark the course by which
merchant ships may avoid these mines
has already begun.
