TO DEEPEN SABINE PASS.
The M., K. & T. Company to Expend $250,-
at Once.
The directors of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas trust company met yesterday
afternoon and voted to expend $250,000 in
deepening the ship channel from Sabine
Pass to Port Arthur. The work of dredg-
ing the channel will be begun early next
month and will be completed in about four
months. The channel will be 125 feet wide,
26 feet deep and five miles long. The Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas trust company is
going ahead with the work because the
government appropriation is not available
just now. The company expects that the
government will reimburse it for the
amount expended.

Austin, Tex., Jan. 21.—In the house this
morning the bill prohibiting Sunday base
ball was passed to engrossment, and
among the bills introduced was one au-
thorizing the establishment of state banks,
with a capital of $10,000, or upwards.
In the senate a bill appropriating $6000

Another big land deal was made in Gal-
veston today. This time the United States
government has purchased from the
Adams heirs 100 acres of land on Bolivar
point, more or less, at $300 an acre, the
whole aggregating $30,000. This land is to
be ceded to the government and a modern
fort, which will form part of the system
of defense of Galveston, will be erected.
Just how soon work will be actually com-
menced on the fort proper is not known,
as there are many formalities to be gone
through with even after the land is form-
ally ceded to the government. The land
bought is south of the light house and on
the extreme end of Bolivar peninsula.

SMALLPOX IN CUBA.
Havana, via Key West, Jan. 21.—The epi-
demic of smallpox here continues and the
daily death rate from all diseases is 35 per
cent or more.
It is calculated that there were 5000 cases
of smallpox in Havana some time ago.
All the physicians paint the picture of the
sanitary condition in awful colors. The
mortality is frightful and for several days
past has increased to 45 per cent. Geruco
also reports an epidemic of smallpox, with
many victims.
Consul General Lee wrote to Gen. Wey-
ler asking that Henry Delgado, the Amei-

Dr. Burgess could give him assistance.
Gen. Melquiseo, reconnoitering’ in the
province of Pinar del Rio, found a band

Gen. Piu notified the Cienfuegos planters
some time since to prepare their sugar es-

ler transferred Piu’s command to Manzan-
illo and ordered Gen. Palata from Matan-
zas to take charge of Piu’s command.
Gen. Piu has become suddenly ill and
asked leave to return to Spain.
It is generally expected that in eignt
days Gen. Weyler will give orders of a
general character looking to the resump-
tion of the grinding of cane on the whole
island.

THE INDIAN PLAGUE.
New York, N. Y., Jan. 21.—A special to
the Herald from St. Petersburg says: The
feai’ of the Indian plague reaching here
grows rapidly. The Novoe Vremya says:
“With England’s present methods in per-
mitting the population of the stricken dis-
tricts to emigrate, the plague will very
soon be rife all over the country.”
The Mirovie Eotgloskl says: “Italy,
France and Austria have taken precau-
tions. History has shown that Russia is
always the country that suffers most from
the pest. Russian doctors should at once
go to the plague stricken districts and
find out the truth and study the disease,
as we can not rely on the reports of the
English, whose commercial interests have
eaten into the humanitarian instincts of all
nations. The world should unite to form
a cordon around the plague district.”
Doctors have been sent to keep a-proper
guard on the Persian and Afghan fron-
tiers.

Australian Hunters Are Skillful Hand-
ling the Lasso.
Chambers’ Journal.
The Australian herds of wild horses
number from 10 to 12 animals each, made
up of mares and one stallion. No stallion
will allow another stallion in his herd,
and stubborn fights frequently occur be-
tween horses owing to this. The beaten
males, after being expelled, join herds ex-
clusively of stallions. On any herds being
sighted by hunters, a good idea can gen-
erally be formed by the experienced man
as to which route the animals will take in
their way to the rugged hills, for which
they invariably make when disturbed. A
scheme is mapped out to cut them off if
possible, and’ the party scatters, each to
take up his allotted position. Of course,
while doing this, every advantage is taken
of the natural inequalities of the ground,
so as to escape observation. When the
alarm is given, however, all need for cau-
tion is at an end, and each hunter puts
his steed in a full gallop. The stallion, the
head of the herd, boldly comes out to meet
him, and endeavors to distract attention
from the rest.
In some rare instances he is lassoed and
captured at once, but he generally man-
ages to rejoin his wives, which by this
time have trooped into single file with
his favorite mares in the lead. Should
the herd be turned and get into difficulties
the stallion takes up his position in the
van, and the great object is to shut him
off from the rest. Should this be acconi-
plished, both he and the mares become
confused, and the lassoers often manage
to make two or three per man. Instances
have been known where horses have been
thrown to the ground by the hunters giv-
ing a violent jerk to the animal’s tail
when it was making an abrupt turn.
When his quarry is brought down, either
by this method or the use of the lasso,
the rider jumps from his steed, whips a
“blinder” (a handkerchief is used when
there is nothing else procurable) over the
prostrate horse’s eyes and straps up one
of his fore legs securely. If this is proper-
ly done the animal may be safely left
“until called for,” for no horse thus se-
cured can stray far.
A Spanish Fort Surprised and Captured
by the Insurgents.
New York, N. Y., Jan. 21.—A special to
the World from Key West, Fla., says:
Ranchuela, in Santa Clara province, gar-
risoned by 500 Spaniards, was surprised
10 days ago by a Cuban force under Maj.
Gerio with 300 men. One fort was cap-
tured before the garrison had time to
rally and the other surrendered.
The Cubans began sacking th-e town,
but the Spaniards soon received reinforce-
ments and drove off all the insurgents ex-
cept about 50, who barricaded themselves
in the stone church.
The Spaniards finding they could not
take it by storm, managed to mine one
end and blow it up, killing 25 Cubans.
The insurgents returned with an increased
force and routed the Spaniards.
More than 75 Spaniards are said to have
been killed and 38 taken prisoners. Maj.
Gerio was wounded in the head. Several
Spanish officers were killed.
The Cubans captured 100 stands of arms
and some provisions. Three of their pris-
oners who were Cuban born were hanged.

PORTER FOR WAR SECRETARY.
New York, N. Y., Jan. 21.—The Press this
morning says: Gen. Horace Porter, presi-
dent of the Union league club, who is to
be grand marshal of the McKinley inau-
guration parade, is now formally a candi-
date for secretary of war. His appoint-
ment has been recommended in writing by
Republican leaders to Maj. McKinley, and
although Edward Lauterbach did not rec-
ommend him in behalf of the regular- or-
ganization on his visit to Canton, he is
credited with having said that Senator
Platt would not oppose Gen. Porter’s se-
lection.
Gen. Samuel Thomas has telegraphed
to Maj. McKinley urging the appointment
of Gen. Porter. Maybr Strong, William
Brookfield, Cornelius N. Bliss and Gen.
Anson G. McCook have joined in recom-
mending Gen. Porter.
A representative of the Union league
club has been dispatched to Canton, ac-
cording to report, to present formally the
name of the club’s president.
The Presence of Brush in New York Sets
Gossip Going.
New York, N. Y„ Jan. 21.—The Herald
says: John T. Brush, president, of the
Cincinnati base ball club is in the city, and
the fact that he had a conference with
Messrs. Abell and Byrne of the Brooklyn
club, at the Hoffman house,, has set the
wiseacres to talking again. Byrne and
Brush had come on from Cleveland, where
they had met F. D. Robinson, president of
the Cleveland club, which was the cause
of the various rumors being started that
deals were on for the disruption of the
league.
Every one maintained the strictest si-
lence as to the meaning of their secret con-
ference. As is the practice of base ball
magnates who do not jyish the pub-
lic to know what they are doing, they said
their meeting-was purely accidental. Mr.
Byrne remarked that his visit to Cleveland
was for the purpose of securing an ex-
change of one or more “spiders” to Brook-
lyn, but that he had been unsuccessful.
Each denied the story that if the “Big
Five” refused to agree to Sunday base
ball, the “Little Seven” would draw out
and start a new league, or that such a
thought had even entered their heads.
Messrs. Abell and Byrne called upon their
attorneys, Messrs. Redding and Kiddle,
during the day, which gave rise to the ru-
mor that the affairs of the clubs were in
a chaotic condition, and that efforts were
to be continued to force the minority
stockholders of the club to either put up
their share of money or be forced out. It
is’surmised that Messrs. Abell and Byrne
may apply for the receiver, with a view of
downing the minority. One of the minori-
ty stockholders, who did not wish to be
quoted, said that the minority would re-
fuse absolutely to put up any more money,
and if the club was taken away from East-
ern park they could not help it.
Mr. Brush, who has been accused of be-
ing back of Amos Rusie in his stand
against the New York club, refused to dis-
cuss the matter, but said that if any one
made a direct charge that he was egging
the “Hoosier” twirler on to fight the New
York club in the courts, he would be right
on deck to resent it.
Regarding internal dissensions in the
league, he said that there were rumors in
the corridors of the hotel at the Chicago
meeting of the league, that if a program,
as outlined, went through, which it did,
some of the clubs would quit the league.
It was all corridor talk, he said, and he
had heard no magnate speak of a split.
All the clubs had had enough of war, Mr.
Brush thought, and it would be the height
of folly for any clique to break loose and
start another league, for the reason that
there would be a recurrence of the fight of
1890. Players’ salaries would then go up,
and all the clubs would get their fingers
badly burned. The present 12-club circuit
was satisfactory to all.
“Buck” Ewing, according to Mr. Brush,
will play first base for Cincinnati next
year, providing he is -well and able, and if
not he will manage the team from the
bench.

Buckner Orphans’ Home is
Defeated.
for a
Mr. B. H. Peters, the secretary and
treasurer and general manager of the new
Galveston brewery, was considerably ex-
ercised. this morning over the statement in
The Tribune yesterday afternoon that a
local beer war was impending.
“We are not going to inaugurate any
beer war,” said Mr. Peters.
“But you are going to start the ball by
cutting the price $2 a barrel. What about
that?”
“It is true, we are going to sell our beer
at $8 a barrel, whereas the present price
is $10 a barrel. But we can afford to do
this, and will make a fair living. It cost
about $3 a barrel to bring beer to Galves-
ton and return the empty kegs. This
freight and ice money is what we pro-
pose to give our customers the benefit of.
But we shall rely most upon the excellence
of our product to introduce it. Of course
we shall count, too, upon the local influ-
ence of our home institution. But we
shall inaugurate no beer war by
means.”
“Suppose the other brewers go you one
better and reduce the price still further to
cut under you. What then?”
“In that event, there would be but one
thing to do, and that is to meet the cut.
But we would regret to see them take such
action. The history of all beer wars made
to strangle local brewers in Texas has
been that the home breweries won in the
end, and we shall do so here. A fight of
this kind would cause a temporary loss
all around, but this loss would finally be
made up, as The Tribune said yesterday.
As has been said before by President Rey-
mershoffer, the principal cost of the brew-
ing of beer is found in the labor. Outside
brewers have the additional cost of freight.
We can furnish a better article, because
we have the facilities to age it properly,
have all the latest machinery and are em-
ploying only the most skilled labor in its
manufacture, and our beer will not dete-
riorate in long transits. With this idea
in view we shall make our fight for favor
with the quality of our product, and shall
not go into any war of prices which would
result disastrously to all alike in the end.
If, however, we are forced to fight, we are
prepared to do so.”

This is the way the friends of Dr. John
Grant of Texas project him into the ring
of cabinet possibilities: “It was he who
pierced the gloom of Texas, broke down
the barriers between political serfdom and
emancipation and led the Republican hosts
into the clear light of day. It was he, like
the magnet, drew the scattered fragments
into one and made the thing of weakness
into a tower of strength.” Dr. Grant may
be a first rate gloom-piercer and magnet
and tower builder, but as we recall the
vote of Texas, there will be a shining op-
portunity for him to keep right along in
business at home for the next century or
two.
Constipation in its worst forms, dyspep-
sia, sick headache, biliousness and de-
rangement of the liver are readily cured
by DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. These
little liver pills never gripe. Small pill,
safe pill, best pill. J. J. SCHOTT.
