JiulffeColdwell oa tin Tax Situation
A Herald reporter called on Judge
Coldwell this noon for his views on
the present tax suit situation: and he
said: Ever since I have been a mem
ber of the city council, I have persist
ently urged that vigorous steps be
taicen ior tne collection of the taxes:
ana in me, great majority of cases have
neen over-ruled bv the citv council
ire next term or tne district court
begins the first Monday in January
and lasts two months. It has already
oeen sei ior civil jury cases, and prob
ably tbe entire time of the court will
ba consumed in trying these cases.
vur tax suits, wunout exception are
cou jury casis. They therefore can
not come up until the April term, and
the first six weeks of that term will be
consumed in trying criminal cases.
that is, judging the future by the past.
1 ue re 1 ore notning can be done In the
tax suits of any importance to the
public until about the middle of May
L!y that time, a new council will have
beea installed whose duty it will be to
eiecc a city attorney.
Messrs. Stewart and Roberts propose
to have our $1500 city attorney do sub
stantially nothing, and then hire out
side counsel to discharge duties that
are properly incumbent on the city
attorney, wny not let the council
elected in April elect a citv attorney
who for $lo00 per year will discharge
an eiuues 01 a city attorney, and snare
the city the expense of addition-
alcounselV To my personal knowledge
the best lawyers in El Paso will take
the position of city attorney, if it can
be secured without unseemly scram
bling. The city is in a bad wav finan
cially as well asotherwise. Not count ng
bonds we are s-io, 000 in debt, and the
debt is still increasing. We have a
large staff of officers all highly paid,
who ought to be able to discharge
any duty that may presumably arise.
But notwithstanding, our troubles are
increasing, and something has got to
be done. The difficulty arises from the
indifference or incompetency of our
present city officials. Now what is the
remedy proposed? The usual remedv
of the politician, viz , to
create a new oflice and attach
to it a fat salary disguised
under the name of a commission. I
confidently assert that if the business
of the city of El Paso is attended to on
business principles, the back taxes can
be collected wherever legal, bv the
ordinary processes and machinery pro-
viueci ny law ana the charter. The
taxes for I3'.o have been collected by
thousands of dollars cleaner than dur
ing any preceding year. Why is this?
Because the assessor and collector
used one of the remedies provided by
aw for the collection of the taxes of
which the council did not permit
him to employ for the collection of
taxes of other years.
J. he report of the majority of the
committee made Thursday night, is a
tissue 01 misstatements on all material
points, originating doubtless in ignor
ance, but which is certainly conducive
to harm.
I n conclusion the proposed contract
is manifestly illegal, and will be en
joined at the suit of any citizen who
has the spirit and patriotism to resent
the outrage, and to assert his own and
public rights.

Meetings are being held all over th
United States in the interest of Cuba
independence, enlistments continue as
usual in fact, a little more than usual
and congress threatens to do something
radical ijext weeiv.
At St. Louis, Kdward Hastings has
the names of twenty recruits who have
joined his company and thinks he will
have 100 men before the end of the
week. Hastings visited the city hall
to learn if the authorities would inter
fere with him. He was told that the
blind could not see, and if he organized
his company quickl3', and did not make
it too public, no one could either Eee or
hear of tbe movement.
A Sterling, Kans., man named Ham
ilton, who claims to have 6erved five
years in the regular army, has written
the junta for the necessary authority
to raise a company of recruits to go to
Cuba. He already has quite a list of
names of young men In hi9 vicinity

office, unfurled the Cuban flag alongside
tne stars una stripes ana issued a call
for ;j00 volunteers to take the field for
Cuban independence. Over thirty
men are said to have joined the move
ment. 1
Already over 300 Cuban recruits have
been enrolled at Kansas (Jit v. and Col.
S B. Harriman, head of the local Cuba
libre movement: stated that there were
as many more in Kansas City and vicin
ity ready ana wining to go to the
front. The men average in age between
18 and 35 years, and are generally un
married.
The Dodge light guards cf Council
Bluffs, Iowa, have passed resolutions
denouncing the cowardly assassination
of General Maceo by the Spaniards
and volunteer service, if necessary, to
resort to arms in upholding any action
tne united states government may
tatce.
A petition to congress to put an end
to the revolution in Cuba has been
signed by the aldermen of New York
city and a copy forwarded to Washing
ton. T.he petition is as follows:
"We, the undersigned citizens of the
United States, do most respectfully
petition your honorable body to use your
intluence to stop the barbarities and
inhumanities now being practiced upon
the people of Cuba by the monarchy of
spain.
ihe civilized world stands aghast
at the atrocities committed there under
the guise of law, many of which were
committed upon citizens of this coun
try, and therefore call for action on its
part: and do respectfully request that
the congress of the United States take
cognizance of the fact that war is bo
ng waged there that the people thereof
may enjoy the liberties of civiliza
tion and self government. T'
The Itocky Mountain Cuban volun
teers of Denver, have decided to start
Dec. 26, on the march for the
Florida coast where they expect to ship
for Cuba. Col. MeAndrew, command
ing officer, received scores of letters
from all parts of the country offering
material aid.
Judge Asa A. Story, commander of
Humphrey post G. A. R , of Twin
Brooks, S. D., writes his post will join
the movement in a boay, members
furnishing their own arms and mounts.
Senator Cuilom writes Col. MeAndrew
thanking the volunteers for endorsing
his recent speech on the Cuban ernes
tion.
"what are you going to do with it?"
"I. for one," said Senator Morgan,
"while advocating this recognition,
want it understood that I am opposed
to annexation."
"How, then, would you maintain its
independence?" asked the secretary.
"How would you, for instance prevent
Spanish domination over the island? '
"I would," replied the Alabama
senator, "establish, if need be, a pro
tectorate. I would follow much the
same policy we are pursuing with re
gard to Hawaii, and I would Bend an
army of occupation to the island, if
necessary, as we did in the'ease of Mex
ico. ' '
The secretary made the impression
upon some of the members of the com
mittee, by the way he pursued this line
of inquiry, that while he was disposed
to hold out strongly for the president's
prerogative, he was not 60 strongly
opposed to Cuban Independence as he
bad been a year ago, and would be
entirely reconciled to it if satisfied as to
the future course to be pursued. He
did not dissent strongly from a point
that his own report showed suflicieat
cause for action, and he admitted that
a state of affairs which permits the kill
ing of American citizens and the de
struction of American property was
deplorable.

:V mass meeting: was held at Little
Rock, Ark., la night at the broad of
trade rooms and resolutions adopted
urging recognition of Cuban independ
ence. The meeting was participated in
by many leading citizens.
A mass meeting of colored
men was beld last night at St. Marks
M. E. church, New York, to express
sympathy with the Cubans. A commit
tee was appointed to go to Washington
and urge the adoption of the Cameron
resolutions.

soldiers in the Pinar del Rio section

ness on the trocha and desertions made
reinforcements necessary there. Wey

Havana. News from Mantazas province
is disquieting.
fifteen hundred citizens attended
the Columbus, Ohio, mass meeting at
the city hall last night to express
sympathy with the Cuban insurgents.
Kesoiutions were aeiopted urging the
president and congress to recosrnize
the independence of Cuba. Consress-
rean-elect John J. Lentz was anions'
the speakers.
Two car loads of heavy artillery
passed through Little Rock yesterday
for the south, over the Iron Mountain
road. The conductor said the cars
were billed to a Texas port and con
signed to Cuban parties, but would cot
give the names nor the port to which
the cars wore destined. The conductor
stated the arms were for Cuban
triots.
Members of the senate foreign rela
tions committee are reticent as to
what Secretary Olney said to the com
mittee, but it is certain he advised
against action, like that contemplated,
as it would involve war with Spain.
One member of the committee said:
Of course Spain will fiht, hut there
is no danger of other countries getting
in our way. No other European nation
wants to light us, and we would wind
up a war with Spain in short order."
Secretary Olney makes two points
against the Cameron resolution, as
follow:
1. That the Cuban insurgents have
estabished no government.
2- That the right to recognize a
new state rests with the president,
Independent of congressional action.
He contended in elaboration of the
first point that the pretended govern
ment of the island was without inhabi
tants. "Suppose you recognize the

Hot Stuff" From Mr. Bassett.
O. T. Bassett says relative to the
present flurry on account of the non
payment of taxes, that he too believes
every citizen should pay his taxes.
But, there are taxes that are legal, and
taxes that are illegal. Taxes on the
water bonds, for instance, are illegal,
and he will not pay them. Moreover,
ne says tne city council sitting as a
board of equalization has got into a
way of taxing property for a great deal
more than it is worth. Mr. Bassett
attended a meeting not so very long
ago of the board to object to their jump
ing up his valuations without either
rhyme or reason. He saya he found
the venerable city fathers, some with
their feet cocked up over the desks,
other with their legs crossed compla
cently, and all leaning back in their
chairs with their thumbs in their vest
arm holes, smoking and taking things
very easy.
In response to his protests, the
venerable city fathers puffed their
cigars deprecatingly, and said: "Oh,
now Bassett, you can pay those taxes,
You know the city is poor and needs
the cash. Come on now, and pay up."
Mr. Bassett objects to paying what he
considers outrageously high taxes for
purely sentimental reasons, to say the
lea-t, and he just won't. He says there
are really about seven thousand people
n El Paso, while the city council Is
trying to do business on a basis of 25,000
inhabitants. Methods of administering
this city government need an overhaul
ing.and ajrearrangement.a readaptation
to existing conditions as they are not
as they ought to be according to the
aldermanic imagination.

The attraction at the opera house
tonight will be Lincoln J. Carter's
great scenic melodrama, "The Fast
Mail." It has been one of the great
est successes known to the stage for
years. It has a story of thrilling
interest, and the scenic and other
mechanical effects are said to be
marvelous. There is a representation
of an engine room on a Mississippi
steamboat with the furnaces under the
boilers in active operation. Avery
realistic train of cars shoots across the
stage, and the Niagara Falls scene is
one of the most elaborate acd daring
things ever undertaken in the drama.
It is described as a beautiful, vivid and
accurate representation of that stu
pendous marvel of nature.
The Falls are shown' by moonlight,
with the roaring and plunging waters,
and the mist that rises from the seeth
ing current. One of the most prominent
of the play's features is the complete
freight train of fourteen cars, with an
illuminated caboose, drawn by a practi
cal locomotive. The play itself has
thrilling situations in abundance,
plenty of humor to lighten its tone and
give it an agreeable flavor throughout.
Seats are now on sale.
