Notes From Washington

From Our Regular Correspondent.
1t looks as though the existing
government in Cuba had forced
the hand of the ad ministration
to an extent which will render
occupation of the island neces-
sary. The latest news at the
War Department indicates that
President Palma. his cabinet and
all Of the members of the moder-
ate party in Cuban congress
have decided to resign. leaving
the island without a government.
There are two propositions open
one is that the mOderates in con-
gress may be induced to retain
their seats and patch up some
form of government on which
Cuba can limp along, and the
other is that the United States
will be forced to take charge of
Cuban affairs and that an army
will be landed on the island to
enforce the orders of the provi-
sional government. It is almost
a ertainty that if the United
States takes charge of Cuban
affairs at this stage of the game
it will be impossible for us to
let go, and the island will ul-
timately pass into the control of
the United States, leaving US
with another tropical dependency
on our hands.
The plans which are outlined
for American occupation are
almost as various as the papers
which print the stories. Every
thing has been suggested from a
temporary landing of 5000 mar.
ines and blue jackets, to the
transportation of an army OF
10000 men from the regular
regiments of the United States.
It is quite certain that no such
widely extended occupation is
contemplated. 1t will be re-
mem bered that when this gov.
eminent crushed the Spanish
power in Cuba $1,000 men were

all the forces ever landed in the
island up to the fall of Santiago,
1t is not at all likely that almost
twice as many men would be re-
quired to deal with the present
although it is possible
that quite large number would
be needed in view of the fact
that would have to be scattered
over a large extent of territory
and many interior plantations
and sugar factories would have
to be guarded.
It has been announced that
Pine GUERRA one of the foremost
of the insurgent leaders. has de-
tailed a large mum Der of his men
to act as guards for the outlying
plantations. 1t is we'll known,
however. that little dependence
is to be placed on guards OF this
character. Nearly all of the in.
surgent troops are negroes and
many of them are men who
have gone into the army because
it furnished them an easy means
Of livelihood without the necces-
sity for work. It is feared that
this class of soldier would prove
more a menace than defence to
the American plantations.
It has been announced that in
the case of American occupations
of the island General Frederick
Funston will not be invested
with the supreme command,
that going by custom to a gener-
al of higher rank. Colonel Lit
tleton W. T. Wallow, of the Ma
rine Corps will be in com mand
of the Naval detachment. The
mere fact that there is no ade-
quate transpor tation ready for
the land forces makes it unlikely
that anything hasty will be done
in the way of sending an army
to Cuba. There is only one
transport, the Sumner, now on
the Atlantic Coast, and alta pinch.
she could not carry more than
1900 men. Vessels would have
to be bought or chartered to
carry any larger number, and
fully a week would be required
before they could be obtained.
1t is just possible that if Amer
lea should be forced to run af-
fairs in Cuba, there would be no
serious trouble from either the
Liberal or the Moderate parties.
The liberals Who are now on the
Revolutionary side will not be
apt to offer any serious resis.
lance to American occupation.
The chef trouble to be appre.
hended is from the deserters
who would Immediately fall
away from the revolutionary
army and form bands of ladrones
similar to those which this gov
eminent had to combat in the
PHILIPPINES for several years. 1t
would take a tolerable large force
to smoke these robbers and loot
ers out of their hiding places in
the hills, but many of the law
abiding Cubans could themselves
be drafted for this service, which
would be similar to that perform

To furthur increase the efficiency of
the Ogden route, the Southern Pacific
has decided, effective November 18th,
to run No. 6 from San Francisco at 6
p. M, via Stockton, with coaches and
tourist sleepers to Ogden and one
standard to Sparks. No. 10, the fast
mail, will leave San Francisco at 8 p.
IN, and carry in addition to present
equipment standard sleepers and diner
through Omaha and east. The ad-
vantages OF this new arrangement are
that passengers from San Francisco
will have a later train out OF that city.
The two trains will meet at Sparks
and will be operated from that point
to Omaha over the Uuion Pacific on
practically the present schedule of
train No. 6, maintaining the present
connections with foreign lines at Og-
den and Omaha. The train will ar
rive and leave Ogden ten minutes later
than at present.

The Building Boom in Battle
Mountain.

The building boom has sure struck
Battle Mountain. The click Of the
hammer can be heard 10 all parts of
the town. E. E. Starrett is busy
erecting a new eight-rcom residence;
Frank Eaton has just had completed
q new stable; William Licking is
going to enlarge his residence; A. d.
Lemaire and l.. A. Lemaire intend to
erect three or four residences as soon
as the lumber arrives; M. w. Frary
will erect two cottages near the NJ. E.
Church, the lumber for the same hav-
ing been ordered; q new building
20xf0 is In the course OF construction
near F. A. Limbaugh's justice Office
and we hear of other buildings talked
Of which will probably be built short
ly. All this building goes to show
that u people have great confidence
10 the future Of our town for there is
no question but that 10 has q bright
future from the fact that our mining
opportunities never presented a bright
err aspect and we may be able to give
our readers some very interesting
news in the near future. We predict
great things for this section next year.

Railroad Service


New service to the Yosemite valley
in connection with the Yosemite Val
ley railroad will be instituted March
LIST. The new line extends from
Mercer Falls to the boundary of the
Yosemite national park and with the
opening up of same che eighty mile
stage ride will be a thing of the past.
From the boundary OF the park tour
lists will be conveyed either by au-
tomobiles or stage to the various ho-
tells in the park. Fifteen hundred
men are now at work and the last
rails will be laid by February 18th.
The hotels OF the park will be up to
date and constructed on the order of
the great stone castles of Europe and
will be of such exterior and interior
as to blend with the surrounding
country. They will be under the
management OF Frank A. Miller, who
has secured the permit to erect same
from the interior department. The
hotel plans have been approved by
President Roosevelt, DIR. David Starr
Jordan and others who know the val
ley. The new hotels will not be ready
for next season.

Distributing Poison TO Dogs.

Someone is distributing poison
around town, and they go so far as to
throw it into the yards Of the resi-
dehces to make sure the dogs get it.
Any person or persons that would be
guilty of poisoning a dog that has
never harmed anyone would be low
enough to commit any other kind Of
a crime if they were not afraid of
being caught.
The officers are leaving nothing
undone in the hopes of catching
the guilty ones. We were informed
to-day that the officers believe they
have been pnt on the right track to
catch the guilty person. 1t is an as
sured fact that il this low practice is
not stopped there will be something
doing. A great many of our citizens
are getting much enraged over this
nefarious work and they say II the
guilty person is caught they will be
dealt with severely. Whoever il en-
gagged in this dirty work had better
stop it. A word ITO the wise is SUI
ficient.

Coal Situation May Be Relieved.

Five hundred coal cars ordered by
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
will soon arrive, and the coal situa-
ton in the Western States will be re-
lieved. The output from the four
Utah camps will average about 5000
tons a day. The prospect for being
able to maintain this output is very
good, as the beef trade will soon be
over and the cars now delegated to
that service will be returned to take
care of the coal.

Do Not Publish the News.

One of our subscribers took us to
task this week for failing, as he re-
marked, to publish all that happened.
1t was fortunate for this particular
individual that discretion occasionally
demands the omission OF unpleasant
items.
Should we publish all that is told
to us we would be with the angels in
about twenty minutes after papers
we've mailed. We try TO print all
items that are news, or that will en-
courage, help or cheer any Of our citi-
zen along life's rugged road. We all
doubtless would enjoy reading "all
the news when It's about the other
fellow, but our policy is to turn over
to the gossips the spreading of scan
dals that only leave sorrows in their
trail.-Piocbe Record.
In many cases the same conditions
as stated above exists in Battle Noun
tain, and as we are not quite ready to
be with the angels that is the reason
we refrain from publishing all the
news that happens in this town.
When we are ready to shuttle off this
earthly coil" we will begin publishing
the news.

Office informing US that Mrs. L. D,
Huntsman passed away shortly after
l o'clock. We will have more details
