OF the city of Augusta, stating that
the hshway around the dam on the

inspection OF the discussed fish
way on the Savannah river. 1t was
the opinion OF Mr.. Lyon that fish
would have to fly to get past the OBJ
structions.
At last the city Of Augusta,
through its commissioner, has assur-
ed South Carolina that the fshway
Will be constructed and thus will end
much discussed question.
In his letter to the Attorney Gene

TROUBLE IN NEW MEXICO.
Indians Resent EncrOacIlmcnts and
the Census Enumcrut0rs.

Taos, \. NJ, May 14.-Ranchmcn
throughout this section spent a sleep
less night, keeping vigil against d
possible organized raid by Pueblo In
dians, from the reservation north of
here. but at daylight no word of any
further movement on the part Of the
braves had reached this town. Fol-
lowing the raids Of yesterday and the
day before, in which the ranch Of L.
5. Meyers was attacked, the buildings
burned and the fences destroyed, and,
IL Is reported, the female members of
the family attacked, everybody arm
cd themselves and gathered in
groups for better protection. Troops
from Santa Fee and other points, or
dcred yesterday, were due to arrive
to-day, but in the meantime a gene
raj massacre was feared, as authentic
news came that 80 or more of the
warriors Of the San Juan and other
tribes were wearing war paint and
engaged in war dances. None Of the
Older bucks had donned the war bon
nets, but many Of the young ones
were reported as having Joined the
uprising.
Several causes arc given as the
possible reason for the outbreak Op-
position to census taking. and gene
raj dissatisfaction with the whites be
cause Of what the Indians believe to
be entertainments on their rights, are
generally accepted as the cause of
the trouble. The attack upon Mcy-
ers' ranch is explained by the fact
that Meyers had fenced a section of
land over which the Indians had en-
joyed undisputed reign for many
years.
