A GUANO FAMINE.
The Dawson Dealers Not Able to
Supply the Demand.

Notwithstanding that there are
two companies in Dawson that mix
and sack the scented crop nourisher
and four or five dealers besides they
have not been able to supply the de-
mand of the farmers for guano, and
as result there has been a famine
in this popular commodity for ten
days. The result is that many of
the wagons form the farms have re-
turned home empty.
The mixers and dealers have hur-
ry orders out for more of the goods, ~
and hope to be in position to supply
their customers in the next day or
two.
The farmers of Terrell county
have always been heavy users of fer
tilizers, and it seems that the con-
sumption this year will be limited
only by the quantity they are able
to get

SLAUGHTER OF DOVES.
Thousands of the Birds Are Killed
On Baited Fields.

Every day or two parties from
Dawson go on dove shoots in this
and adjoining counties, and the
slaughter of the innocents" is
great
Wherever shoots take place the
fields are we'll baited, and of course
the birds are congregated in great
numbers, so that thousands are
killed. AaSE
The law allows forty birds to the
bag, but it is a law that is probably
kept much more in the breach than
in the observance, as with the birds
massed together as they are it is
impossible for a man to tell how
many he is killing, and in the ex-
element of the moment he would
hardly be apt to stop to count.

AMBASSADOR WILSON
IN UNHAPPY SITUATION
American Representative TO Mexico
Believes a Plot Exists TO Embarrass
Him in Discharge of Duties.

Mexico City April 13.-Henry Lane
Wilson. newly-arrived American am
bassador to Mexico, believes a plot to
embarrass him in the discharge OF
duties of his office exists in this city.
He does not venture TO name those
upon whom his suspicious rest, but
declares that in due time the exact
character OF the intrigue, which il
one not only hostile to the embassy,
but 20 the interest OF the American
government as well, will be known"
His discovery Of the alleged intri-
que grew out of the receipt Of FL
impartial. leading Spanish daily
here, Of a New York special recount
ing the publication in that city Of a
sensational story under a Mexico City
date Of ofenses which the ambassa-
dor is alleged to have given the
Mexico people in a recent speech at
banquet given in his honor by the
American colony.
Mr.. Wilson is said TO have "suc-
ceeded," as has no other diplomat be-
fore him, in exciting the Latin blood
Of Mexico through a historical re-
ference to the empire Of Charles v.
OF Spain, which, he said, enslaved the
bodies and souls of the people of two
hemispheres IN the name OF God. and
attrlbuting TO the Aztec and Toltec
blood IN large degree the rise and
Development Of Mexican civilization.
Even the Americans present we're
said to have received his words on
these subjects with great astonish-
ment.
The ambassadors words were criti-
cized editorially by FL Correo Espan-
ola, newspaper of limited
circulation among the Spanish resi-
dents here. and this was made the
basis Of the story telegraph from
Mexico City and published In New
York.
El impartial, regarded as the re-
preventative publication Of Mexico
as well as number Of lesser Mexi-
can dailies. commended the utterances
Of the new ambassador As for the
Americans present, the reference
passed almost unnotiCed. The entire
speech, which was response to a
toast, was warmly applauded.
OF his own words on that occasion,
Mr.. Wilson said today:
MY speech was intended as a COM
pliment to the Mexican people and,
believe. was 80 received by them.
Only a distorted Imagination Of
malicious intention will be able 10
discover any purpose 20 offend or
discover any absence of courtesy.
since I arrived here. the Mexican
people and the vast majority Of the
Americans have been most courteous
and kind. but there seems to exist as
vet underlined. but none the less active,
an intrigue furthered by high in
terests which did not welcome the
coming of the present ambassador.
In due time the exact character of this
intrigue. which is one not only hostile
TO the embassy. but TO the interests
OF the American government, as we'll,
will be known"
