General Situation Unchanged.

1.-THE general situation througout the
island continues practically the same.
Not a single mill has yet reported having
stopped grinding. and in not a single case
has it come to the knowledge of the
authorities that nalcontents have been
able to inf1ict any damage on property.
Wherever any groups have attempted to
make a stand they have been Immediate
ly attacked and routed by the small de-
tachments into which the rural guard
has organized for the purpose of dealing
more effectively with the parties at large.
Absolute quiet prevails in Pinar Del
Rio. Havana and Matanzas. In the Arst
of these provinces a small band, thought
TO be captained by Baldomero Aepsta,
Guas and Pino, is being so closely pursued
that it Is thought not many hours can
pass before it falls into the hands of
authorities"

preme authority.
My dignity and self respect are
above any insinuations that you and
your friends may dare to make with
the avowed purpose of forcing me to
abdicate my constitutional rights in

mans name of scandal. His journey
is interrupted by political gangsters
who are endeavoring to caluminate
the woman in order to defeat her can

succeeded in vindicating her reputa-
ton he discovers that she is his own

rated from his father because of the

URGENT NEED TO
CARE FOR WATER

Winnemucca faces a temporary, but
serious water shortage. An accident
to the large motor which ran the
pumps has necessitated the use of an
auxiliary gasoline engine of only half
the power of the motor. Water has
been shut off from side streets for the
last three nights, but this curtailment
of service is not sufficient.
Beginning today, and continuing
until repairs are made (probably next
Tuesday or Wednesday,, water will
be shut off from the side streets from
/ to o'clock in the afternoon, also
at night.
BY using a little attention. citizens
may help materially in conserving the
limited supply of water, and thus in
protecting the town. Faucets should
not be left running. They should be
closed as promptly as the necessary
water is drawn. Sprinkling of lawns
should be curtailed or dispensed with
for few days.

The north drifts on both the 800

ore and the ninth level has been
opened up to such an extent that we
cannot determine the size of the ore
body, as there is ore ON the top, bot

Wednesday of this week a bullion

for the first twenty days of this month
was made. At the present price of

value of this shipment is approx
