The Peruvian pressr accord

sfwses of Sandiar Carabaya and
Paueartampa It is declared
tfiat the Peruvfan foreign office

against this occupation- but
without avail. One influential
paper ri this connection says
"Matters of this serious charac

Ibe only remedy in the power

adopting the same measures
ss those adopted by the usuf
l.ffj0 strong detachment of

THE BATTLESHIP TEXAS

- Oft "the Coast of Texas
Today
Galveston Tex. Feb 15
At midnight .the battleship
Texas had not appeared in
Galveston waters. The pilot
boat and the revenue cutter
Galveston went out during the
morning. The pilot boat went
to perform her regular duties
of placing pilots aboard any
thing that came up.- The re
venue cutter went cruising for
the batdeship and got not even
a glimpse of the white destroy
er. She was back at her dock
at 6 o clock. Capt. Glass in
his latest telegram said he ex.
pected to sail on the 9th and
make the trip in about four
days. He sailed on the night
of the 8th. or the morning ol
the 9th and tomorrow will have
been out seven days from New
York here As Secretary Her
bert in his letter to the Galves
ton committee said he had
ordered the batdeship to be
here by the 16th it is not un
likely that her great white hull
will be seen growing up from
the misty horizon tomorrow
coming nearer and nearer to
the great State whose name
she beats.

Brownsville Cameron Gos Texas.
Cameron County is the extreme
southern county of Texas. It is
separated from Mexico by the Rio
Gratide oh the south and has about
100 miles o gulf coast as its east
em boundary. It was organized in
1848 and contains 3308 square
miles. Farming and stock raising
are the principal industries of the
people the location climate and soil
being admirably adapted for bothk
The greater portion of the soil is a
rich loam and produces an exceed-
ingly heavy yield of both cotton
and corn the chief farm products.
Two and sometimes three crops of
corn averaging from fiftv to seVen
ty bushels per acre are raised year-
ly while cotton will easily yield
from one to two bales per acres.
Grasses grow all the year and stock
find pasturae without being fed or
sheltered during the winter. But
the soil and climate of the Lower
Rio Grande Yalley are by nature
best adapted for the production of
vegetables and fruits. Vegetables
of all kinds grow all the year
around and northern people are as-
tonished to find tomatoes lettuce
spinach English peas etc. served
fresh from the gardens in midwin-
ter. This is undoubtedly the par
adise or track gardeners and so
soon as rail transportation is ob
tained Cameron county vegetables
by the car load will be shipped to
northern markets during winter and
early spring and will obtain the
highest prices as there will be no
competition. This is due to our
exceedingly mild climate. Fre
quently the entire Winter passes
without a single frost and there is
rarely eVer any cold weather before
Christmas. Fruit culture has not
been attempted in this county on a
large scale but there is one large
banana plantation on which this
delicious fruit yields most ahund-
antly and in the greatest perfection.
Grapes are also raised extensively
growing in almost every yard. They
ripen from two to four weeks ear-
Her than in any other section.
Many planters here make all of
their own table wines. Oranges
and lemons also grow in profusion
and this section could easily be
made to rival Florida in the pro-
duction of oranges. Sugar cane is
also one of the most important pro-
pucts of this valley. The Rio
Grande plantation of Mr. Geo. Bru-
lay and the Rabb Starck plantation
produce gre t quantities ot cane
wncn s a manufactured on the
makes sugar which is pronounced by
1 xuo.uranae iJianKunm nis cane
experts cone even superior co toe
. fc .Louisiana nroduct. Havana
tobacco has also proven a success
here Gol. J. Gr. Tucker having
made some most successful experi-
ments with itj his sanlples were
classed by New York buyers as
equal to the be3fc Havana.
The county is watered by the t?io
Grande with its ample flow along
the southern boundary and num
erou small streams ca led '"arroyaj"
and uresacas.'J
The population of Campron cnttii-
ty according to the census of 1890
is 13424. Brownsville the county
seat has a population of about
7000 Point Isabel the seaport of
the county has about 400 inhabi-
tants and Santa Maria a growing
little river settlement has a'nout250.
Improved lands sell for from 85
to 25 per acre unimproved for
from 2 to 86 per aore. The avpr-
iagp taxable value of land is 81.
