RAILROAD SCHEME
To Give the Gulf Shore .an Outlet
to the Coast.
Special Dispatch to the Herald.
San Antonio June 6. There is
every reason to believe that the Gulf
Shore railroad while now only extends
38 miles east of here will shortly be
extended to Cuero where It will form
a junction with the Aransas Pass and
give a direct outlet to the coast. Both
these roads are Huntington property
and as the Gulf Shore does not pay ex-
penses at present the extension idea
Is quite feasible.

Meet At San Antonio In Annual Con-

al Association of Railway Postal
Clerks opened their annual convention

brought their wives with them.

certs carriage rides trolley rides

CITY WATER WORKS
Now Contemplated To Be Supplied
From Wells On the Mesa.
Mayor Magoflla proposes; to establish
a municipal water plant south east of
Ft. Bliss near the G. H. wells.
The mayor says the bills for sprink-
ling the city at the present time are
near $1000 and that sum would be ade-
quate to meet interest on bonds which
would bs issued in order to establish
the plant. Ia eighteen months the
contraot with the water company will
expire.
The mesa where the wells are to be
sunk is an ideal plaoa for the purpose.
Water there is free from alkali so that
Deming water will not be necessary.
The mesa is several hundred feet above
the city and as the water will rise la
the wells to within eighty feet of the
surface the pressure will be sufficient
without pumps.
The idea is to put the mains eighty
feet below the surface at the wells and
gradually decrease the depth as they
near the city.
As to the money question Mayor
Magoffin said "El Paso has a right
to increase its present bonded indebt-
edness to the amount of $174000 and I
intend to take advantage of it for the
benefit of the city." Tee mayor has
instructed CUy Engineer WimtGrIy
jrun.Jl7Sr'levels to determine
the elevation. Major Wimberly will
begin work at once.

blic Are Outlined in
Brief.
AN ARID OCCUPATION
Will
Leave No Chance For
Any
General Uprising
On The Part of The
Boers.
London June 6. Lord Roberts re-
ports his formal ocoupation of Pretoria
yesterday afternoon in a brief dis-
patch: "Pretoria Judo 5. The oc-
cupation of the town parsed off satls-
faatdrlly. Tha British fljg now QU
over the government ofiicas. The
troops were given an even more en-
thusiastic reception then 1 bad anti-
cipated.' The Boers who retreated - before
Roberts's advance passing through
town probably drew off by way of the
railroad eastward toward Mlddleburg.
Roberts's dispatches do Dot suggest
that he planned to cut off their re-
treat although part of French's and
Hutton's forces might have been de-
spatched for that purpose.
It is expected that the first step to-
ward pacifying the Transvaal will be
the issuance of a proclamation by
Roberts promising Immunity to these
burghers who lay down their a-mp and
tike the oath of allegiance.
At the same tim i profiting by the
experiences at Bloemfontein the field
marshal will probably not relax mil-
itary precautions against a revival of
the federal cause in the pacified dis-
tricts. Thesecondstep.lt is believed will be
the despatch of an expedition against the
Boers who are supposed to be rallyng
in the north.
This force will perhaps
bave the cooperation of General Car-
rington's troops in Rhodesia which are
preparing to patrol the northern
border of Ihe Transvaal.

CHINA'S GREAT CRISIS
Civil War Has Commenced
And Who Can Tell When
The Thing Will
Stop.
Washington June 6. The eitua
ticn in China has assumed a most eetl
ous aspect from all reports received

in on Pekin and that the lives Dot only
of Americans but of all foreign reel
dents are in danger.

out is certain. Admiral Kempff in

been a colllstion between native troops
and Boxers.
