STATE LANDS

Austin, Texas Sept 15-About g.
100000 acres Of state lands. situated
in various parts of the state, and
heretofore mostly under lease for cat
tie grazing purposes, were placed on
the market for actual settlers under
a law passed by the, last session of
the legislature, today. The cattlemen
have been strongly opposed to the
sale of these lands and predict that
the withdrawal of them from pasture
purposes will work great injury to
the cattle industry of this state.
Under the law which goes into ef-
feet today, the state lands are to he
sold to actual settlers in tracts of
from one to eight sections. The price
is 81 an acre, payable in four annual
installments, with per cent interest.
Each purchaser must live upon the
land three years TO acquire a title.

will still own about 12,000000 acres,

Qualifications.
MILITARY PARADES WILL ABOUND

Mexico City, Mexico, Sept. 15.-
President Porfirio Diaz celebrated the
18th anniversary of mis- birthday to-
day. His birthday is really on Sep
tember 80, but for the sake of con-
venience the president has been in
the habit for many yeas of celebrat-
ing his birthday on the 18th of the
month, the day before the great cell
ebration OF independence day. AS was
usual, the president received a delega-
tion from the army, headed by the
minister of war, in the yellow room of
the palace this morning. Delegations
from other departments followed, and
then came representatives of the vari-
Gus states.
The meeting between the president
and the delegation from his own state,
Oaxaca, was quite touching. Later in
the day the president received the
members of the diplomatic corps, all
of whom rendered to him the congratu-
lations of their monarchs or govern
ments.
At II O'Clock this evening President
Diaz will go through the traditional
ceremony of ringing the liberty bell
on the balcony of his palace. An
enormous crowd will be assembled in
front of the palace to witness the GER
emony. The united bands will play
the national hymn, under the direction
of the composer, Jaimo Nimo. At mid
night Nine. Diaz will hold gala recep-
ton at the palace.
Tomorrow, the anniversary of Mex
ico's independence, will be celebrated
by a military parade and review of
public festivities. Congress will be
convened by the president tomorrow
evening, when President Diaz will read
his annual message. Both days are
observed as holidays all through the
country and everywhere popular
feasts I'D other popular
amus6 the program for

enlarged, little suspect.
The Citizen, while discountenanc-
ing the absurd and sometimes mali
cious reports that the elected ON
cials would retain their positions,
even if force and arms had to be en-
ployed against the appointees, has
never failed to say that the end of the
contest was not yet II looms up
largely among the possibilities that
the supreme court of the United
States may yet review the whole mat
ter.
The Citizen has also thought it i'll
timed and improper to haudle tbs
controversy which is now in the hands
OF the court for settlement, as though
It had already been settled, the power
Of the governor in the premises estab-
lished, the legality of his appoint
ments confirmed, the guilt of the elect
ed officials proven, and their punish
ment appointed by the courts. Yet
such has been the course many pap
ers in the ter itory have-ddopted, say
the friends of the elected officials,
their dOgmatic utterances concerning
a case of the merits of which they
know nothing, having every appear
ance of being inspired, and having no
other tendency than to injure the good
name of Thomas and Frank Hubbell
and Eslayio Vigil.
The arguing of the injunction and
mandamus suits brought by the elect
ed officials, which had bsen set for
today, will probably not come up be-
fore Monday, owing to the absence OF
Judge Abbott, and the filing of the
damage suit, report says, will proba-
bly, not be reached before the middle
or latter part of next week.

MASSES OF WoRKMEN DE- D..
MAND UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE

Buda Pest, Hungary, Sept. 10
Dense masses of workmen marched
to the lower house of the diet today,
for the purpose of making a demon
stration in favor of universal suffrage.
Strong cordons of police were posted
near the building. Herr Julius Justh,
president of the house, received the
deputatiOns, who presented their petit
tions setting forth the demands Of the
people. Justh begged the people to
await quietly the decision of parlia-
ment. No disturbances occurred up
to the time of filing this dispatch.

1t Is believed that one of the con-
spiratols, dissatisfied with the amount
of money that fell to his share, re-
vealed the plans of his confederates.
The filibuster had been warned and
they all left Hongkong.
The place where the guns and am.
munition are was not known to the
person who gave the information to
the police. II is probable that when
the coast again becomes clear the
gun runners will again attempt to
ferry their war materials across to
Samar. The shipping Authorities have
been told by the police to be on the
watch.

Hongkong, Sept IS. - Somewhere
about Hongkong is hidden a ship load
of rifles and ammunition, assembled
to be smuggled into the island Of
Samar for the use of Filipinos in
guerrilla warfare against the United
States.
The detective bureau Of the Hong
kong police learned of the conspiracy
in time to prevent the shipment but
has been unable to locate the hiding
place of the arms. The police refuse
to reveal the names of the cOnspira-
tors all of whom escaped arrest.
The chief conspirator is said to be
a German. He arrived from Manila
last month with a commission from
the Filipino insurrectionists at Samar
to secure for them a boat load of war
munitions. He was to secure a com
mission of 100000 for his work, and
he said the Filipinos were prepared
to spend 100000. He sounded a num-
Der of people as to the practicability
of purchasing guns and cartridges,
and said that rifles were wo4 tn their
weight in gold TO the Filipinos and
that they would pay 1000 per cent
above the market price for ammuni-
tion.
The German was compelled to work
very quietly. The Hongkong law re-
quires that every man possessing a
rife must have a license for his rife,
while a weapon cannot be removed
from a ware house without a special
permit from the government. No arms
or ammunition can be shipped from
Hongkong except by authority of the
government.
Natives Up in Arms.
These drawbacks did not bother the
German, however. He got into touch
with men who had had experience in

LETTER FROM PANAMA
TELLS OF HARDSHIPS

San Francisco. Cal, Sept l5.-A
letter received from Edward Slayback,
a carpenter in Panama, tells of the
conditions existing along the canal
zone, which tends to substantiate the
stories that the mechanics engaged
in the construction of the canal have
much to contend with, and endure
many hardships which were never ex-
pected.
He says that the place is disease
stricken, and that plague exists in
Panama and no one is allowed to
leave or enter the town.
Board costs S25 a month and prOYi-
sions and other necessities are from
two TO three times higher than in this
country. Slayback says that the work
ingmen are treated very badly by the
canal officials.
