polluted, or have been polluted in the
past, the large amount of nitrate in
them will lead to some solvent action
of the lead. AS a matter of fact lead
pipes are seldom used with these deep
ground waters.
THE class of waters that most
readily attack lead in this State is the
ground water class, comprising the
waters from springs and from the
ordinary dug well, and this, outside OF
the public water supplies, constitutes
the largest single class of waters in
this state. From the results of this
analysis of the above 1174 samples
which have been found to contain
lead it may be stated that lead pipe
unless lined with tin, is not safe
pipe to use with any of the well and
spring water supplies Of the State.
owing to the fact that we have ne
waters in the State which naturally
contain lead we do not run lead tests
on any samples unless they are
marked as coming through lead pipes
or unless there is no mention Of the
kind of pipe used. If the water Il

Getting away early. the party made
quick progress down the valley and

FEDERALS Fight OFF
REBELS near SALTILL0
Skirmishing Party Halted by Hot
Bombardment- City Is Com
pletely Invested.
ATTACK TO COMMENCE SOON

Rio. Coahuila, Mex, May .17.-After a
day spent in skirmishing, the constitu-
| tionalist army has completed the invest
ment of Saltillo.
An Unexpectedly vigorous opposition was
encountered a few miles south of Pare
don, an exceptionally large force of fed
erals having been met at Flora. The
federals were well supplied with artillery
and began vigorous bombardment,
which temporarily checked the constitu-
tionalist advance until artillery could be
brought up and so disposed as to rake
the federal positions The loss on both
sides is believed to have been heavy. but
no figures are available. The artillery
fire on the part of the federals ceased at
nightfall, and it is believed a retreat
was made under cover of darkness. Con-
stitutionalists swarm over the entire
country for miles on both sides of the
railroad tracks.
Paredon, Mex, May 1.-THE invest
ment of Saltillo and its environs, is COM
plete and the army of 1850 constitu-
tional soldiers are resting on their arms
awaiting only the bugles giving them
orders to open the attack The last of
the besieging army left this place last
night and this morning detrained several
miles north of Ramos Arizpe nine miles
north Of Saltillo, where the famous
Zaragoza brigade drove a federal out
post to the southwark.
Reports coming from Saltillo by desert
ers are persistent that the federal gar
rison is evacuating the city, little cred

The liner Ypiranga arrived here this
morning from Tampico with III Spanish

as soon as she came to anchor and learn
ed that the cargo of arms and ammuni-
ton which started the trouble here, is
still on board and Is to be brought back
to Hamburg.
1t appears from the stories told by
passengers just arrived from Tampico
that the victorious rebels already have
tired of the effort Of living up to the
Golden Rule program proclaimed by the
leaders when they entered the city.
Three wealthy men have been arrested
without apparent cause and thrown into
jail. 1t was hinted that the object was
to force them to contribute to the rebel
war fund. s -
The German consul and local steam

against these arrests and insisted that
foreigners be permitted to leave the city
without restrictions. They were informed
that they too would be Jailed IL it should
