Needs of Navy-Famine of Teach
ers Feared in Kansas.

One purpose of the administration in
ordering the big naval demonstration on
the Pacific coast next winter is TO impress
Congress with the necessity of making
more adequate provision for the national
defense. 1t will be shown that our pres
ent fleet is incapable of dominating in
both the Pacific and the Atlantic. While
Admiral Evans armada is in Pacific wat
ers, the eastern coast will be practically
at the mercy of a European foe, should
such Unexpectedly arise. And, not only
are more ships needed, but increased naval
and docking facilities. especially in the
Pacific. The Navy Department contem-
plates the establishment of one of the
greatest naval stations in the world at
Olongapo. harbor north of Manila. The
initial work on this project already has
been done, but a large sum of money is
needed TO complete it. Another part of
the naval program is to construct navy
yard at San Diego, Cal. Steps already
have been taken for the establishment Of
a coaling station there, but this is only
the beginning of more ambitious designs.
San Diego is more than SEQ miles south
of San Francisco and no more strategic
point for commanding the western exit
of the terminus of the Panama canal
could be chosen.

Holds Three-Day Celebration.
The people of the lower Pecos valley
made the Fourth of July the occasion
for celebrating the opening of the Carls-
bad irrigation project, just completed BY
the United States reclamation service.
The celebration began with the turning
on of the water, and continued until Fri
day night. All the farmers of the lower
valley and many citizens from the arte-
sian area and the irrigated area around
Roswell were in Carlsbad, n. NJ. The
enterprise is a reconstruction and restora-
ton Of a system constructed some years
ago by a local association, watering lo,-
600 acres. This was washed out repeat
edly by floods until the government took
it over in 1906 and now, constructed OF
cement, iron and rock. at cost of $780,
600, it will endure forever. 1t will re-
claim about 10000 acres, 10000 of which
already have been selected by the gov
eminent Farming was resumed under
the new arrangement in March, and this
season the valley is green with growing
crops. The project embraces two large
reservoirs in the Pecos river and ce-
neut dqueuuCl dCEOsS lie river, VIII &c
ment siphons and canals. The project,
and one at Hondo, opened in the spring,
are the first to~be completed under the
reclamation act of 1903 The Hondo
reservoir is an artificial lake In the plain,
formed by cement and paved dams, catch
ing the floods of the Hondo river, which
takes its rise in mountains of perennial
snow, 120 miles away.

CRIPPLE RoUTs SIX BANDITS.
Colorado Stage Robbers Put to Igno-
mfnfous Flight.

Six masked men, armed with rifles and
revolvers, attem oted to rob the Boulder
Nederland stag about 6 o'clock as it
was returning from the Tungsten Camp,
to Boulder, Colo, filed with passengers.
Brave before unarmed men, the whole
gang was put to flight by the timely APP
pearance of r. e. Huggert, a cripple, the
riding boss of the Colorado Eastern Pow
er Company. Drawing his revolver, Hug
gest charged the bandits and drove them
In fight up the rocky walls of the canyon.
The daily Nederland stage, driven by j.
T. Carmack of Boulder, was coming down
filed with passengers, all carrying
large amount of cash. The horses round
ed bend at gasop, when six masked
men stepped out from behind the bushes
and, surrounding the stage, ordered the
driver to halt and the passengers to dis
embark. All complied with alacrity and
lined ~ with their hands above their
heads. 1t was just at this point that
Huggert appeared on the scene, and the
robbers fed in terror.

Rones Of Prehistoric pear.

Director w. j. Holland of the Car
negie museum at Pittsburg, after a thor
ough examination of prehistoric animals
found in cave near Holidaysburg, Pa,
announces that the bones were those OF an
immense bear, unlike any now in exist
ence, and which must have lived 10000
years ago. The smaller bones found in
the cave, and which were supposed to
be the offspring Of the bear. DR.. Holland
says are those of the mammoth's young,
which the great bear must have captured
in raid upon the mammoth herds. Here
tofore it has been assumed that no ami
NAL was powerful enough to prey upon
the mammoth. Besides these bones, there
were in the cave the bones Of numerous
gigantic squirrels and other animals
which are now extinct. Another similar
cave has been found near Greensburg,
Pa, and it is to be dynamited.

Agrarian outbreaks similar to those
Of last year are occurring afresh in the
rural provinces of Russia. Official adj
vices to the government show several
provinces are afame with an anarchistic
propaganda that has led to murders, in
cendiarism and horrible outrages perpe-
trated on land owners Outbreaks which
have occurred in several localities, 1t is
feared, only mark the beginning of
widespread campaign of terrorism. Proc
lamations issued by the various parties
in the recently dissolved douma are re-
garded as responsible Pacards posted
throughout the country districts read ::
Burn your landlords grain. Now is
the time to strike" These instructions
have been carried out literally by the
peasants. Untold loss has been caused.
In the Skopin district of Ryanzen prov
ince peasants destroyed every house on
the estate of NJ. Goloshtchapoff, mill
ionaire, killed all his sheep, and slaugh-
tered over 1000 horses. Members OF the
millionaire's family had narrow escape
from death at the hands of enraged peas
ants. Another outbreak in the same dis
trict resulted in a sharp clash between
peasants aad troops. Peasants attacked
mill owned by NJ. Ussof, in the vii
lage of Siekirin. Cavalry charged the
peasants while they were looting the
place, killing five men and wounding
twenty-three. The governor of Ryanzan
province arrived on the scene and de-
manded the surrender of the ringleaders
When the peasants refused to give them
up he ordered another charge, in which
eight persons were killed and twelve Sc

JAP INSULTS UNCLE SAM.
Official Washington stirred bS Slurs
of Mikado's Admiral.


of Mikado's Admiral.
The highest officials now in Wash
ington have been stirred to strong in
dignation at the gratuitous insult hand
ed out to the United States by one Of
the chief officers of Japan's navy and
man who stands close to the Mika-
do, in an interview printed in the
Hochi at Tokyo. The slurs expressed
by Admiral Sakamoto on the American
navy in this interview are angrily re-
sented by the military and naval chiefs
and, it is believed, will add force to
the .ill-feeling that is being engendered
against Japan all over the United
States.
Both military and civil officials of
high rank, who, of course, refuse to be
quoted, admit that the insulting utter
ances of one Of the Mikado's chief Off
GERS have greatly intensified the gray
ity of the situation between the United
States and Japan and increased tie
possibilities of war between the two
countries.
The text of the interview as printed
in the Hochi is as follows:
SHOULD hostilities break out between
Japan and America, the result would
be indecisive, owing to a want of proper
bases of operations. Such bases as
exist are too far distant for practical
purposes.
Even the nearest bases-namely,
the Pescadores, Cavite and Manila
are at a distance of GOO miles from one
another. Even if the Washington gov
ernnient should decide on war, it is
doubtful if the Americans serving in
the navy are sufficiently patriotic to
fight
American naval officers are brill
liant figures at balls and social gather
ings, but they are very deficient in pro-
fessional training and experience. 1t
is too much to expect burning patriot
ism in the American naval service in
case Of war with Japan. 1t is very
likely that most of the crews would
desert and leave the Ships
Admiral Sakamoto commanded the
Inflated battleship Yashima when she
struck mine and sunk off Port Arthur
in May, 1904 Subsequently he was
made naval commandment at Dalny for
the Port Arthur operations.
The transfer of the American battle
ship squadron to the Pacific coast has
caused storm. A significant feature
of the affair is that all of the vessels
will be stripped as though for battle.
and will be supplied with a full supply
of ammunition and Srms.
