JAP SCOUTS NEAR SINGAPORE

Batavia, Java, April 12.-There has
been no movement on the part OF the
Rear Admiral Enquist section OF the
Baltic feet, which arrived OF the
Anambas group Sunday. The vessels
are stin at anchor 10 the west of Pulo
Manki. one OF the islands of the

coaling.
Rojestvenssy's Whereabouts UnsoIved
London, April 12.-The mystery Of
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's where
abouts is still unsolved. and specula-
ton on the possibilities OF the situa-
ton is OF the keenest The favorite
hypothesis OF the newspapers this
morning is that his six battleships
slipped past Singapore some night
with lights out
The Daily Telegraph's Singapore
correspondent cabling under date OF
April IL, says: "An reports 10 the con-
trary notwithstanding. only one bat
tleship, the Sissoi veliky. passed here
Saturday. No ships OF the Tsarevitcb
type were with the squadron"
A dispatch from Jibutil. on the Gulf

II is possible that this may not take

The dispatches from Singapore

Saturday are erroneous in several par

According TO the admiralty's infor-
nation. the Japanese have had an OBJ
servatiOn squadron in the waters of
Labuan, British BoTneo. where they
took the same advantage Of British
neutrality as Rojestvensky did OF
French neutrality at Madagascar. and
this squadron is believed TO have been
summoned by japanese scouts TO re-
main in touch with the Russians until
they go north 20 the Straits OF For
mosa. where. 1t is believed here, a bat
tie will occur. Considering the vital
nature OF the issue. the admiralty Is
Inclined TO think that Admiral Togo
will not dare to send ships To Vladi-
vostok or leave vessels behind him 10
cope with the Russian vessels at that
port and that the Japanese coasts and
the transport feet will practically
have TO shift for themselves until the
naval battle is fought
So far as ascertainable, Rojest-
vensky has no intention of putting in
TO Saigon. the entrance TO that port
being narrow, but il is believed that
he will remain In the open sea.

had brought them to the city and traded them for those he had found in the corral. The sheriffs office took the matter up and learned that the bur ros at Lopez's place had been brought there bv a young Mexican boy. Juan Encinas. who had arrived yesterday morning from Gillette. In coming he had passed Hardin's station. It is thought at the sheriff's office that the old man may be mistaken about the loss of his burros which may be still on the desert not far from the station; that when he could not find them he found the trail made by Encinas ami mals.
 The situation was further confused later in the day by a story which came to the sheriffs office of a woman rid ing a burro and leading another going toward the river on Seventh street A search was made for the woman but all trace of her was lost near the river. In the meantime the old prospector is waiting He can do nothing without his faithful companions of the hills and desert.

 He said he had been in the hills for long time and had come down to the station for few days rest.

He said he had little difficult ty in following the trail for one of the animals has a peculiar foot He fol- lowed the trail to the Kellner ware house where he lost it but hunting around in the neighborhood he dis covered two burros in a Mexican cor ral owned bE Antonio Lopez nearby.

THE HURLEY WATER SUIT.

70 the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir-I notice that most of the water users of the valley are very much in the dark as to the course they should pursue in regard to the water suit commenced by Patrick T. Hurley against Charles F. Abbott and others, including some 4000 defendants. Now there is no question about the U. $. government through its proper officers having requested that the amount of water to which each person owning land in the valley is entitled and the order in which they are entitled to receive the same should be settled be- fore some tribunal having the power to settle the same. IL is suit brought for the purpose of enabling every wa ter user to have the question as to his water rights settled and the gov ernment of the United States must know through a legal settlement of each water users rights who are enti- tied to the storage waters.
 Some lawyers have taken the posi- tion that the rights of each water user cannot be properly settled in that suit but that is erroneous. The title to the water to which each land owner is entitled and the older in which he should receive the same can be set 
 suit above mentioned. By filing q cross bill. each water user separately makes each and every other water user defendant to all intents and purposes and the court will then act as justice and equity require.
 I know very well that certain of the canal companies are going to contend that the title of the water for each land owner in the valley cannot and ought not to be settled through the medium of a suit brought for that purpose. But that is not to be won dered at as they have by making cer- tain rules and regulations. violated every natural and constitutional right that the land owners have to the ap- propriation and use of water and fore ed them 10 sign illegal contracts ar bitrarily.
 ] will say unhesitatingly that it seems that the suit referred to was brought in good faith in order that all water rights may be settled for all time with as little expense as possi- ble to the land owners and I believe that no objection is raised to the same except by those who are interested in keeping the farmers of the valley in a perpetual stew over future suits among each other and between them selves and the canal companies.
 It does seem that the people of the valley have been sufficiently plundered heretofore by paying large fees to at torneys who have landed them after the litigation was over just where they were before the litigation was insti- tuted. It is certain that there are certain fundamental principles con nected with rights to water that can not be abrogated by contract or other wise.
 I insist that it is necessary that ev- cry man owning land in the valley file in the suit named a proper answer and cross complaint that the water rights may be settled and he be relieved thereby from much veXatiOus litiga- tion hereafter. Each man should file a separate answer and cross bill as no other mode of pleading is strictly proper. Get into court right and you will come out right
