Mexican Cattle.
Reports made to Albert Dean, live
stock agent of the Bureau ol Animal
industry, in charge at Kansas City,
show the importations of Mexican cat
tle in November to have been 14,858,
8gainst 14,2o3 in October. The cattle
were admitted at these ports:
Nov. Oct.
El Paso, Tex 5,611 4,816

San Diego, Cal

Totals 14,858 14,253
The above table shows plainly where
that buik of the cattle imported from
Mexico crossed the border and the
Mexican states which contributed the
supply. El-Paso, Tex., and Notrales,
Ariz., are the ports through which
the bulk of the cattle admitted from
Mexico have passed, therefore they
came from tbe states of Chihuahua and
Sonora.
Advices from the Mexican border
are to the effect that the importations
of cattle from Mexico during the win
ter months will hold up to the October
and November figures. The Corralitos
Cattle company, Britton Davis, man
ager, and Fenchler Bros , have been
the principal importers at El Paso, and
the indications are their importations
will continue for some time. The Cor
ralitos company's cattle have been
taken to the old Kentucky Cattle com
pany's pasture in Crosby county,
Tex , and which is located in the
northwestern part of the state. Kansas

Opera House.
There will be few dramatic produc
tions seen here this season which will
surpass that romance of realism,
"Darkest Kussia," which will be seen
at thf opera house tonight, tomorrow
matinee and night.
"Darkest Russia ' is a masterpiece
of stage construction, and the author,
Mr. H. Crattan Donnelly, has woven
around the plot a story of most absorb
ing interest. The play pictures every
phase of Russian life. The secret
police, the military and the nihilist, as
well as the noble, peasant and exile,
are seen in every type of character.
Although the play alone is one which
would command unbounded success,
the proprietors have, nevertheless,
mounted it in an exceedingly lavish
manner, ihe spectacular enters large
ly in the settings and the scenic display
is elaborate and beautiful. Everything
necessary for the production is carried
and the smallest detail has been given
careful attention. The company is a
large and strong one and all the char
acters are effective. Two of the most
prominent are the comedy role, Sep
timus Cobb, an American colonel from
Kentucky, and the Baroness von Rhine
berg, a vouDg French widow. These
cleverly drawn characters are great
favorites and by their merry fun mak
ing are most entertaining.

AR.ME'IAKIZ' ANSWER TO GAAL.
His Counsel Makeup a Brcnzv
Answer
to Which Defendant Hgns his Xame.
County Commissioner Juan Armen
dariz fifed bis reply last night, or
rather his counsel tdid for him, after
they had written up a document that
like a wife, is highly important if true.
Distinguished counsel read the docu
ment to Armendariz en espanol, and it
tickled him so that the old gentleman
well tnigh burst the buttons oil his
vest and demoralized his neck tie,
Juan in his exhilaration really forgot
all about the unkico cuts made earlier
in the day by Commissioner Courchesne
ana Robinson on the purchase of the
poor farm. Yes, the answer prepared by
too skillful counsel tickled him mighti
ly, so it did.
In the answer contestant especially
answers that the orJer of February,
1891, was in full force, ana rot the new
order, on tbe election of November 3,
1890; that contestee was duly qualified
and was a residentof the real and legal
precinct No. 3, but I. G. Gaal is not and
was not, and did not receive any legal
votes for commissioner of said precinct
No. 3, that he only received in precinct
No. 3 thirty-two votes all told, and
that each of them was illegal, while
contestee recei ved 179 votes therein.
Said 32 votes for contestant were illegal
in this, viz: Taose casting them were
not citizens or legal voters of said
commissioner s precinct JSo. S, and
said contestant Gaal was not aud is not
a resident citizen of said precinct,
county or state, and is not qualified
under the laws to hold oftioe; and that
contestee is duly inducted into said
office in a legal manner.
Further on, contestee declares that
said new order was not a valid, legal
and voluntary one of the majority of
the commissioners' court, but said
order was the outgrowth of fraud, and
duress in this that W. J- Harris, one of
the commissioners, was charged or
accused by J. A. Smith, H. B. Stevens
and R. F. Campbell and others with
being directly or indirectly interested
in a claim or account lor roaa work,
which claim had been presented to the
commissioners' court ana allowed, aid
the payment thereof temporarily en-
oined by said J. A. Smith, et al, who.
acting1 in collusion and concert with
others, stated in substance to said
Harris that unless he, said Hams,
would consent to vote for an order re-
precincting said county so that the
central street of the city of El Paso
should be the dividing line between
precincts Nos. 1 and 2, they would
ause him. said Harris, much trouble
and would cause him to be indicted on
account of his interests in said road
bill, would have him prosecuted and
would endeavor to convict him upon
aid accusation.
To which demand said Harris, as
contestant "understands and charges,
by reason of said threats and duress
and idluenced by promises of favor
and concessions and the dismissal of
said injunction suit consented, but
there was Dothing said about, the time
aid order was to take effect, and when
said Smith's attorney prepared and
presented the order, said Harris con-
ulted his attorneys and was advised
bv them that the order could not be
come operative till after the election,
.November .J, is!ib, &c., and that the
next commissioners court should thev
eem it proper, could repeal the order.
And with that understanding and in
tention he, the said Harris, voted for
aid order and F. L. Hunter then
county judge and Chas. F. Slack, com
missioner, also voted for it. While
ontestee and the other commissioner
Toted against it. Wherefore, &c,
contestee claims said order Is illeiral
and invalid, &j , &e." Hit especially
the "and so forth."

A Change of 15ase.
A deal has just been closed at El
Paso, Texas, by the terms of which W.
C. Reid", late of the business, editorial
and reportorial departments of the
Optic, becomes on the 1st of January
the editor and part owner of the Morn
ing Telegraph in that city. The name
of the paper under the new manage
ment will likely be changed to the El
Paso International News and those
interested in its publication propose to
make it an uptodate paper in every
respect, thereby filling a want long felt
in thatcitv. Mr. Reid has been con
nected with this paper for the past
eighteen months, and, along with the
other several graduates from The
Optic, he will not fail to achieve suc
cess in his jourr.a'.istio eflorts. He is a
popular and deserving young man of
talent, energy and standing, and his
integrity of purpose in anything he
undertakes for anybody, has never for
an instant been called into question.
The good wishes of Tne Ojjlir; will

Maceo Reported Alive, and Spanish
Festivities Stopped in Consequence,
A recent dispatch from Key West
savs that passengers just arrived from
Havana report that Antonio Maceo
alive and well and in the province of
Matanzas. Passengers say all festi
vitie9 in Havana to celebrate his death
have been ordered stopped since i
became known he is alive.
The enlistment recruits and solicita
tion of funds at St. Louis to assist Cuba
continues undebated and is carried on
without any attempt at concealment
But as this is in direct violation of
legal enactment United States
Circuit Attorney Anthony has felt
called upon to interfere. So Senor
Ramon Aquabel, active Cuban agent
has received note from the attorney
calling attention to neutrality law.
In all ages the flag1 of truce has been
considered sacred, and having de
bauched and defiled it with human
blood, Weyler stands before the world
as the most infamous and degraded
character in all tbe annals of war. It
is safe to say that Maceo's death will
greatly intensify the sympathy of the
people of the country with the cause of
tbe Cubans, and it may hurry definite
action by congress. Los Angeles Her
ald. Cuban agitation all through the
united States has become so acute
since the president's message and the
death of Maceo that Chairman Cragin,
of local Cuban relief committee at Chi
cago has decided to call a general
meeting of a committee of 100 promi
nent citizens at Union league club
Friday afternoon to prepare for contin
gency of congressional action in favor
of the Cubans. Mr. Cragin estimates
the number of young men who have
applied for enlistment in Cuban army
from Chicago at 500.
In the last few days there has been a
large increase. The committee is not
receiving applications because the laws
forbid 6uch enlistments, but it is well
known that there is almost daily an
exodus of men in small bodies, so that
no attention has been attracted.
Members of the Illinois national guard
are anxious to help Cuba as soon as
belligerent rights are accorded.
Captain General Weyler was banged
in efligy at Wheeling, W. V., yester
day. There was a great meeting at Dallas
in the interest of the freedom of Cuba.
Two thousand representative men and
a hundred women were present. An
drew Jackson Houston, a son of the
hero of San Jacinto.presided and made
a characteristic speech. The follow
ing preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
"First, That this meeting voices the
unanimous sentiment of Texas in the
declaration that Spanish dominion in
Cuba should beat once ended.
"The second resolution embodies the
resolution introduced by Mr. Mills in
the senate on tbe 10th instant, and
heartily and cordially indorses it.
"Third That the people of Texas
the children of the Alamo stand ready
to honor any draught made upon them
by congress acd the president for men
and material to end the bloody, cruel
and barbarous reign of the Spaniards
in Cuba, and erect her into a free
American state. "
The resolutions were adopted by a
rising and unanimous vote.
After the meeting a permanent
organization was formed for helping
Cuba in every necessary way to throw
off the yoke of the oppressor.
May Come this Way.
A warrant is out for the arrest of
City Clerk Chas. F. Haney, of Min
neapolis, and Haney is on his way to
Mexico by devious routes. The charge
is bribery in connection with the city
fuel contracts. Haney wa3 expected to
go to Mexico Jan. 1, having been
ordered by the physicians. He left
very suddenly last Friday night, and
although the local authorities have
made every effort to arrest him before
he crossed the border, they have not
yet succeeded. The grand jury is now
in session and is now investigating a
number of aldermen charged with
boodling in paving, sewer and other
contracts. It has leaked out that at
least two indictments have been found,
and some thirty others are promised.
Orange Imports.
Up to December 3th there have
passed through El Paso, from various
points in Mexico 43.3 ear loads of
oranges to the United btates and io
cars more to other gateways making a
total of 510 cars exported to different
cities north of the llio Grande thus
far. These figures will be increased
by 100 additional cars by the 20th inst ,
making an increase over last year's
exportations of upwards of 200 cars.
On Saturday evening, Dec. 19th, the
doors of the opera house will swing
wide open for the great scenic produc
tion of Lincoln J. Carter's "Fast Mail."
The railway has often been used bv
the dramatist, but never before to such
an extent as in Carter's famous play.
A freight train with fourteen cars, a
lighted caboose and a full sized loco
motive, with engineer and firemen,
crosses the stage in the most realistic
and noisy manner, while later in the
play a great Mississippi river steamboat
with bells and whistles and engines in
full operation, moves In and explodes
with terrific force. A great scene is
also given of Niagara in real tumbling
water. The company is a most efficient
one, and there is a great deal of fun to
go with the sensational effects. A
special car for tho scenery is used, and
every detail is carefully looked to in
the stage production of the play.

The Texas.
The battleship Texas appears to be
the victim of a foul conspiracy which
seeks to descredit and condemn out of
pure malice.
Rear Admiral Brown, who has taken
ip the cudgel in defense of the battle
ship, says ''the Texas is the finest
tighter in the navy today,"' and that
everybody outside of the yard in which
she was built is jealous of her because
they did not built her.
He says the slanaers upon the Texas
began before she was ever launched
and have been continued ever since.
"She is not faulty and not unsea
wortby," declares the admiral, "but
has simply had bad luck, and everyone
of her mishaps has been magnified."
In a recent hurricane the Texas be
haved beautifullv, plowing ahead with
all ease, her sun platforms the stead
iest in all the fleet, while another battle
ship againt which the voice of slander
has never been raised was having trou
ble to weather the storm.
Texas newspapers should not join in
the slanders upon their state"s name
sake without giving her a chance.
Robbers Caught.
Special Officer Harris, of the Santa
Fe railway, came in from the south
last Saturday night, where he had
been on business connected with the
i obbery of the section bouse at Hockett
sixteen miles west of Rincon. Francis
co Morales, Jose Iarnacio Garcia, Jeno
vtva Borronetti and Francisco
Navarretti were captured and some of
tbe stolen goods, amounting to about
$150 taken from the commit-sary store
kept by Section Boss Ei. Sloan were
recovered. The prisoners were turned
over to Deputy Sheriff Meadows and
are now in jail at Las Cruces. New

The orange crop of the current year
is to be no larger than last year in
California, and very small again iD
Florida. Xavels are scarcer in the
latter state than they are in 1S95 and
bring much higher prices. The grow
ers in Florida are in a position which
affords them little encouraeement, and
are reported to be generally convinced
that the state will never again assume
its pre-eminence in this industry.
California will prolit by the measure
of Florida's loss. So will Arizona in
due time. Eastern people who once
eat sweet Arizona oranges in Novem
ber, a month at least before the Cali
fornia fruit is ripe, will demand them
in future. There is a promising out
look for the Arizona orange.
The attention of the many eastern
capitalists is being called to the pos
sibilities of irrigation in this territory.
Practicability of storage reservoirs is
being carefully looked into and it is
more than probable that irrigation
schemes will bring more eastern capi
tal into the territory in the next few
years than can be had for the develop
ment and working of the mines here.
A Chicago gentleman who is interested
in mines in this county, and who
returned home last week, is quite
favorably impressed with the idea of
building storage reservoirs in this
section aud capital may be coming this
wav for this purpose in the near future

Further particulars of the killing of
J. D. Smith at Ft. Howie is difficult to
obtain. Zack Taylor, who is in jail
charged with the crime, refuses to
throw any light ou theatTair. A report
from Bowie today states that Taylor
had threatened Smith's life b3cause of
some trivial remark, a-ul on the night
of the killing entered Smith's house
and deliberately tired two shots at his
victim. Smith stepped forward and
grappled with Taylor, when the latter
succeeded in emptyiug his revolver at
Smith killing him instantly. Taylor's
examination will bo had on the. loth
when full partcalars will be had.

Piunpinq: Out a Lake.
Near Ishpeming, Mich., is Lake
Angeline, a body of water a mile long
and averaging half as wide. A few
years ago large bodies of iron ore were
found under it by means of a diamond
drill, and several mining experts
thoueht it worth while to pump it out.
Accordingly an immense centrifugal
pump was placed on a float anchored
over a deep part. The discharge pipe
had several flexible joints in it to cause
no delay as the water lowered and let
the pump down with it. In the summer
of '93 this enormous pump began to
discharge water at the rate of 10,000
gallons Der minute. It was kept work
ing continually for two months, having
completed its task in that time. By
careful calculation. Lake Angeline
was found to contain 800,000,000 gallons
of water. The ore taken from beneath
tbe lake has more than paid for its
removal, and large quantities are yet
The strange death in New York of
Millionaire Frank P. Arbuckle, of
Denver, promises some good, and that ia
the enactment of a law recognizing the
administration of "knockout drops"' as
a crime. As it is, the giving of this
colorless, innocent looking solution of
chloral hydrate to an unsuspecting
stranger, to his detriment, if not death"
can only be punished because of the
crime that follows robbery or assault.
It is now generally believed that Ar
buckle was doped, and the papers are
giving the matter their attention, in
the hopes of having this new crime cf
"petering,' as it is called, placed on
the criminal calendar. As there were
twenty-two murders in the past year by
means of the "drops," the suggestion
meets with favor; and of these dead
twenty two. a. scant half dozen were
ever identified, the others filling a
pickling vat oi- potter's field as un
known. Mourners of the "mysteriously
disappeared"' in other cities may find
the solution here. Ex.
