Port Au Prince, Hayti, Dec. 1.-The
people of Port Au Prince have revolt
ed against the government. They are
now in possession of the city. There
has been no fighting with the govern
nfent troops. A provisional govern
ment has been established and Cen
eral Legitime has accepted the presi-
dency of the new administration.
The events of this morning came
before they were expected. An un-
easiness was noticed throughout the
night. but it was not thought an out
break would occur so quickly, nor
that the movement would be success
full without bloodshed.
Alexis Minister Fears for Lives.
The deposed president, Alexis, is
still at the Royal Palace. Members of
the diplomatic corps held conference
this morning to take mesures to facili-
tate his departure from the republic.
All ministers of the government with
Alexis military officers have taken
refuge in the various legations. These
are the same men who nine months
ago protested vociferously against
granting the right of refuge to unsuc-
cessful revolutionists by foreign rep
resentatives. Today they are only too
happy to seek such protection.
Coup Remarkably Successful.
The coup was remarkably success
full Final preparations were complet-
ed last evening and in the early hours
of this morning bands of citizens took
possession of the various points Of

MEETING OF
CATTLE SANITARY BOARD

Albuquerque, N. M, Dec "A spe-
cial meeting of the New Mexico Cat.
tie Sanitary Board is in session here.
E. R. Manning, Of Maxwell City, pre-
siding as president, and E. G. Austen.
of Las Vegas was at his post as Sec
retary. Others present are Colonel G.
L. Ballard, of Roswell w. C. McDon-
aid of Carrizozo: Victor Culberson. Of
Fierro, and Cole Railston, of Magda-
lena. The board is meeting for the
purpose of devising ways and means
to combat the disease of glanders
which has broken out among the cat
tie of Roosevelt county and perhaps in
other parts of the territory.
The first appearance of the disease
was reported several weeks ago, but it
was not considered serious. Farmers
and horsemen failed to recognize the
nature of the disease until horses be-
gan to die. DR.. lines Of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry made an investiga-
tion and found that the disease had
spread over an area from ten to twelve
miles south of Portales to a point
north well into Quay county; that
Roosevelt county is permeated with
the disease and that it has appeared
in Quay county. A quarantine will be
placed on Roosevelt county as quickly
as possible and the board Is now CON
sidering even more radical steps which
may be found necessary to check the
disease. n VI M ss u

PLANS FOR NEW
DEPOTS RECEIVED
Blue rints Show
They Will Be
Handsome
TO Be OF MISSION STYLE
Understood Work Will Begin
Next Week.-.Material
Now Enroute.

The blue prints of the plans for the
Lamy and Santa Fe depots to be built
during the next two months by the
Santa Fe System have arrived, and the
first impressions are very favorable,
both as to the beauty and the interior
arrangements of both structures.
While the Lamy depot will be the more
pretentious, the Santa Fe depot will be
more chaste in outline. Both will be
in Mission style, the Lamy depot to
have clock tower similar to the tow
ers of the Alvarado at Albuquerque.
Both structures will be built of con-
crete and the material for both is
now en- route from Hutchison, Kansas.
the expectation being that the work
is to commence next week, and if the
weather permits, to be completed by
the time the legislative assembly
meets on January 20.
Their Dimensions.
The Santa Fe depot will be 73 feet
long and 25 feet wide. The main
floor will contain a mems and a wom-
ems waiting room, each 19 by % feet,
ticket Office II by 16 feet, a lobby
connecting the two waiting rooms Z
by 13 feet, and two lavatories GX9 feet
each. A wing to one side will con-
tain the baggage and express room,
16 by 19 feet, while to balance it on
the other side will be wing with an
open or summer waiting room. In
front there will be wide corridor
under heavy mission arches In the
interior of the structure the floors will
be cement, on the platform, the open
waiting room and the baggage and ex-
press Office, the floors will be of brick
Many large windows provide light and
there are many exits on every side
of the depot. The roofs will be of til
ing and steel. The interior arrange
ment of the depot at Lamy will be
identical with that of the Santa Fe
building. 1t differs in the exterior
only, through the addition of the clock
tower, which will have a large clock,
Illuminated at night by electricity.
Will Be Handsome Edfices.
All in all, the structures will be such
as both the Railway company and the
citizens OF Santa Fe may be proud of.
They will add immeasurably to the
convenience of the travelling public
and certainly will please the people OF
Santa Fe, whose Board of Trade, to-
gether with the Daily New Mexican,
have worked so tirelessly to have the
present unsightly, antiquated struc-
lures replaced with depots that are
beautiful and modern.
The blue prints of the front, rear
and side elevations of the exterior, as
we'll as the plans of The interior OF
both depots may be seen in the edlto-
rial Office of the New Mexican by all
those interested.

CAUSE OF DECLINE IN
THE PRICE OF SILVER

New York. Dec. 2.-The recent
steady decline in the price of silver
to AZ rs, the lowest level in some
years, is ascribed briefly to the fall
ing off in the demand for this metal
at home and abroad. In the domestic
market the demand has been greatly
reduced by the industrial depression
of last year. In India, which always
was an important market, the revolu-
tionary movement has served to i'm
part speculative tone in the opera
tions of the silver market, while China
has bought comparatively little bar sill
yer for months past. A further de-
cline occurred today, when silver was
quoted at AZ 5-8.

vantage. The movement was directed
by General Canal. A remarkable fact
Is that not shot was fired. The
soldiers of President Alexis saw the
rebels had the upper hand and made
no resistance.
The presence of American and
French cruisers undoubtedly had a re-
Nnaining influence. AS soon as the
success of the movement was estab-
lished a number of prominent citi-
zens held a meeting and formed a
committee on public safety and main
tenance Of order. Port Au Prince is
now in the hands of that body.

against Alexis and the Palace was sur

upon him to leave the country. Al

Armed sailors from the two Ameri.

landed at half past one o'clock this
afternoon. They are guarding the re-

a short time, and was allayed by the
news that the former president had
embarked on a vessel for a distant
port.
