NO MORE HAY
TAX TROUBLES
President Approves Repeating
Act of Council.

The Interior department, and even
the judiciary, may have differed from
Commissioner Stanfeld regarding the
collection of hay royalty, but the pow
ers that be were with him.
The last Cherokee council passed an
act repeating this tax and the Presi-
dent has given the measure his sane
tion and it is now a law.
About all that this tax amountedito
of late years was pay for the United
States collectors and untold annoyance
to all parties concerned. Further, to
compel a man to spay royalty on hay
cut from his own allotment was un-
just, and practically none is baled from
the public domain.

THE PACKING HOUSE STRIKE.
One Independent Concern Gives In to
the Demands Of Union Men.-No
Settlement Yet in Sight.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-President Michael
ton, admitting that he was ready to
waive some of the demands that
caused deadlock in the IS .ock yards
strike, declared today that he does not
believe there is any prospect of imme-
diate settlement. He is willing to ac-
cept the intervention of Mayor Har-
rison, but does not believe that the
packers will accept any intermediary.
Fearing that the stock yards fever
would develop to a serious extent
among the thousands of cattle held un-
usually long at the stock yards since
the strike began, the Department of
Agriculture has introduced itself in
the Chicago situation and special in
vestigation will be made.

SHEEP MAN DISAPPEARS.
Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican
Taos, N. NJ, August 13.-The mys-
terry regarding the whereabouts of To-
bias Gonzales a sheep rancher, who
left the home of his brother in this
place on the night Of August fifth, is
still bothering relatives of the man
and the authorities. For four days,
twenty to fifty men on horseback have
been securing the valley, the noun
tains and the mesa, but no trace what
ever of the missing man can be found.
On the fourth instant, Gonzales start
ed ON horseback for Springer, across
the range, but after going several
miles up the canon was taken with
cramps in his stomach and returned
to the home of his brother a very sick
man. Medical aid was summoned and
by eleven o'clock he had improved suf-
ficiently to be left alone. In the morn
ing on going to his room the other
members of the family found that he
had disappeared and his horse was also
missing from the stable. No one had
been found who had seen him. Early
Friday forenoon his horse was discOv-
cred near the ranch house. The spurs
were carefully tied to one side of the
saddle, the rope, bride, and overcoat
to the other, and in one of the gloves
in, the overcoat pocket was carefully
tucked AWAY a considerable sum of
money he had carried the day before.
The saddle was properly cinched, and
the horse was in good condition. Con
zales has been troubled with slight
mental arrangement at different times
and the theory is that he became in
sane, saddled his horse in the night
and rode distance up the canon, dis
mounted, prepared his trappings as de-
scribed above, let the horse go, and
wandered into the mountains. If this
theory is correct, he cannot now be
alive. Another theory is that he has
been murdered by the Indians, and act
ing on this belief a posse of twenty
five men on horses started at five
o'clock this morning to search GER
tain canon on the road across the di-
vide to Springer, and in which he
might have been waylaid.

that the Russian losses are reported
to be enormous.
Japanese Humaneness.
London, Aug. 13-A dispatch to a
newspaper from Toxic says: Another
sign that general assault on Port Ar
thur is imminent is found in the fact
that the emepror of Japan has notified
Field Marchal Yamagata, chief of the
general staff, of his desire that non
combatants be allowed the opportunity
to leave the fortress. The chief Of
staff consequently instructed the jap
anese commander at Port Dalny to ac-
cord the necessary facilities for their
removal. Further details of the naval
engagement of August 10 indicate that
Admiral Togo's main attack was direct
ed against the Russian battleships and
while this was going on, the speedier
cruisers succeeded in getting away"

sells are in the harbor, in a disabled
condition. The German government
is not willing to name these vessels
and that details of their damage should
be published on official authority be-
cause such intelligence might be con-
sidered inconsistent with neutrality
and as affording Japan valuable infor-
nation. Instructions sent to Using
Chou permit the disabled Russian YES
sells to repair sufficiently to proceed to
another port, but repairs must be
strictly limited to making them sea-
worthy and not to increase their fight
ing capacity.

ment was caused here yesterday by the
news that four Russian warships had
anchored off Saddle Islands. During
the afternoon the Russian torpedo boat
destroyer Gozovoi steamed up the
river, having vainly attempted to make
Using Chou, being headed off by the
Japanese. The Grozovoi is very dirty
and unpainted and it's crew are black
with smoke and CRIME They had hard
steaming to escape the Japanese. La
ter the Russian cruiser Askold with
Rear Admiral Ouktomsky, second in
command of the late Admiral Witheft
on board, arrived at Woosung with the
fifth funnel gone close to it's deck,

der water. The pilots report that three
Russian cruisers are off the Saddle

cruisers and four torpedo boat destroy
ers, is watching outside to intercept
the colliers. The Japanese consul here
is urging the taoti to disarm the Grozo-
vol and Askold, but no decision is yet
