GILBOA DAM AWARD MADE.
Contract for se,sIe,sIO Goes I,
Hugh Nawn Company.

The contract for building the Gilboa
dam In Schoharie county was awarded
the Hugh Nawn Contracting Company
for s6,sls,slo yesterday by the Board of
Water Supply. The dam will be a part
of the new Schoharie watershed system
now being built by the city to supple
ment the present metropolitan water
supply from the Catskills.
This is the second time bids have been
received. Five were opened May\l4 last.
the lowest being one of S7,2o3,l75, from
Winston & Co. This figure was consid-
cred too high. as It was materially in
excess OF the estimate by the engineers.
All five OF the bids were accordingly re-
jected and new ones advertised for. The
action has saved the city $3S3,265. II
was felt that competition between the
hve original bidders was not as keen as
might have been expected.
The present contract, together with
the sixteen and a half mile tunnel be-
tween Shandakin and Prattsville now
being built. Includes the major portion
Of the new water development. Five
and half years are TO be allowed for
finishing the dam. II will deliver the
flow OF the Schoharie River from the
Mohawk and will divert Il southwark
through the tunnel into the new Ashokan
reservoir. The entire cost OF the de-
velopment will be SEE, 600, 900, but II will
double the present water supply besides
costing but one-sixth OF the CatskIil
system.

camp near Villa Ahumada. who arrived
here last night on an important mission,
declared.
. They also had a communication from
Gen. Felipe Angeles for Brig. Gen.
James B. Erwin, district commander
The communication asked the reason
why American troops crossed to the
Mexican side Sunday night The cou-
rier was sent back to his chief tonight
with the reply that Gen. Erwin would
have nothing to do with the Villa chief
tain,
There is but ono Government in
Mexico recognised by the United States
Of America, and II appears that you or
your principal are In no way connected
with OF claim to be connected with that
Government which Is recognised by the
United States Of America" Gen. Erwin 8
reply read.
II therefore decline to have any COM
munioation Whatsoever with you or your
principal on any subject related nNany
way to those Governments"
Gen. Angeles communication was for
warded to Major-Gen. Cabell, comman-
der of the Southern Department, who
sent 1t to Washington.
The courier said villa was afraid the
Carranza soldiers would fire into FL Paso
to force American troops to cross. and 1t
was for this reason that he remained
outside Of Juarez three days hoping that
the Federals would come out from the
town and give battle in the open.
The courier said the first Villa knew
of the American expedition was when he
heard bursts of shrapnel. whereupon he
ordered his men to evacuate the town
and leave for the foothills at once.
Villa was more than a mile from town
ut the time and left Immediately for his
bs sc near Samalayuca.
1t Is not reasonable, according to the
courier. to believe Villas men would
snipe across the border into FL Paso
when villa hesitated to attack Juarez
for fear bullets would fall In FL Paso
and bring about complications with the
United States.
The courier said Villa did not par
ticipate in the first nights nghting, but
led his men In person Sunday evening
and directed the hghtins in the streets

time. villa had 2.4o0 men In his entire
