Will Establish Absolute

Unless Colifomia Takes Some
Strict Measures to Con-
trol the Spread ctthe
Alleged Plague.
According to the official reports from
Austin and San Francisco and the or-
ders that have been received in El
Paso by the quarantine authorities the
bubonic plague situation in California
is becoming serious.
Yesterday John R. Mobley. btate
quarantine officer here received orders
from Dr. Blunt at Austin to enforce
a strict quarantine against Bakers-
field California and to make more
stringent rules regarding San Fran-
cisco. '
This order came following a report
from the authorities at Bakersfield
stating that a plain case of the piague
had developed in that city.
Mr. Mobley said this morning that
he was not in position to discuss the
matter and from personal knowledge
he could say nothing of the situation in
California but from his orders he be-
lieves that the matter is becoming more
serious. "Like every one else in El
Paso" said Mr. Mobley "I am sorry
that the thing has gone so far and am
opporcd to any unnecessary quaran-
tine but I must enforce the orders of
my superiors and must credit the re-
ports as they come from good as well
as authoritive sources. I cannot tell
what the result will be but I am now
enforcing a strict quarantine against
San Francisco and Bakersfield."
Mr. Mobley would not discuss the
probable action of the Texas authori-
ties but it is known that Dr. Blunt and
Governor Sayers are watching the sit-
uation and If the state of California
does not take immediate steps to pre-

the real Dlague exists Texas will take
steps to force California to action.
Tsui Hrtea not seem to be alone in
this matter and will be assisted by a
number of western states that are like-

the plague.
it Is said on good authority that Dr.
Blunt and Governor Sayers will soon

of California to take some action in
th matter or out on a granite wail

litical differences In Caiirornia are
crarded as an unfortunate thing by the
Texas authorities and so far this state
has resDected the opinions of the two
factions and accepted a compromise
suggested by Texas authorities as me
best method of treating the case. Now
however since the plague has appeared
outside of San Francisco a more de-
termined stand Is to be taken by Texas
and something of a complication is
likely to result.

to be governed accordingly. It is en-
Hrelv Drobable that every train from
California whether from San Francls-
fr or anv other part of the state win
be held up at El Paso and neither
r-otirht or nasseneers be allowed to en
ter the state if the California author
ities do not immediately cooperate
with Texas and the other states in pre-
venting the spread of the disease. It
a still a auestion whether the disease
is bubonic plague or not but the ma
rine officials state that it is and tne
authorities of the other states take
their report as true. Against this tne
state of California has fought strongly
but the disease whatever it may be.
is spreading and the Texas authorities
are now preparing to move.
VI Paso is bound to suffer more man
any other city in the country and
should urge that something be done
immediately. If all passenger and
freight into this city from the west
o atnnned it will be more serious than
can be imagined and it is more than
nrohahle that this will be done in a
few days if the governor of California
does not give up the fight and endeavor
to stamp out the disease with the for
eign authorities.

Representative Mann today. "If the
treaty should be accepted by Great
Britain I have no doubt the state will

I do not like the treaty because it doe3

CAPE TOWN

Boers Continue to Advance
Despite the tfforts

ARE UNCHECKED
British Fortresses Are Man.
ned By Civilians But the
Enemy Has no Intention
of Attacking Them
CAPE TOWN Jan. 25. Despite Lord
Kitchener's scheme to drive all the
Boers out of Cape Colony by deploying
his forces across the country in a
great semi-circle and closing in on the
enemy by concentrated advances the
Boor commanders are making progress
in their invasion.
The forces under the Boer leaders
are now spreading throughout the
south of the Colony and coming near-
er to Cape Town.
At present they are branching out
through the district to the west of
Kritzinger and are menacing Oud it-
shorn. All the British forts are well de
fended at present and civilians loyal
to the British cause are aiding to man
the fortifications but thus far this has
been only wasted energy. The Boer !
commandos have no intention of un-
dertaking the hopeless task of attack
ing these defenses.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 25 A beau-
tiful young woman giving her name
as Mrs. Daisy Littlewllder of Oraeara
entered the city prison this morning at
9 o'clock and asked that she be locked
np because she is a bigamist and knew
that if the man she had deserted found
it out he would surely kill her.
-She says she is 25 years old and was
married twelve years ago to Littlewlld-
er at her home in Davenport Iowa.
They lived together two years in Colo
rado and New Mexico and then she
ran away from him and came west.
Afterward she met John O meant and
married him without observing the
formalities of a divorce from Little-
wilder. "I know" she said "if Omcara ever
finds this out he will kill me. I saw
a constable looking at me and I was
sure he was going to arrest me so I
ran away."

THEY ARE
CRYSTALS
Not Diamonds According to
the Noted txpert At
Tiffany's
BUT ARE PECULIAR
Enough to Excitate Curiosity
and May Perhaps Lead
to Other Dis-
coveries George F. Kunz the diamond expert
of Tiffany's New York says that
the crystals found and supposed to be
diamonds at Capitan New Mexico are
not diamonds but very good quality
crystals. He admits that the crystals
were formed by same heat necessary
to forming diamonds but says that
those found so far are nothing but
crystals.
Mr. Kunz was seen by a New York
Tribune representative last week and
gave out the following interview:
"None of the reports which I have
received show the existence of new dia-
mond fields in New Mexico. It is
quite probable that errors have been
made. The diamonds which are sup-
posed to have been found are probably
minute crystals of quartz of a quality
peculiar to certain parts of Arizona. In
these crystals the prism is almost en
tirely absent so that the two pyra
mids make up the entire crystal. .Thus
the crystal is twelve faced instead of
having eight sides. In spite of this
fact' the stones strikingly resemble the
octahedral diamond. Over a score of
these specimens have been sent to me
for examination. The fact that these
crystal bits are found in decomposed
volcanic rock is one of the chief rea
sons why amateurs believe them to be
precious stones."
Mr. Kunz when asked if there was
any detailed information to be had re
garding the reported diamond disco v
eries in British Guiana several years
ago said:
"Not many months ago a company
was organized to search for diamonds
in that country. A party left George
town British Guiana and reported that
they had secured 1812 diamonds in
the region of the upper Mazaruni riv-
er. An English company is now being
formed to exploit this region. The fact
that the De Beers mine now controls
more than 95 per cent of the diamond
output of the world has led prospec
tors to search vigorously in India Bra
zil and Australia. As yet the results
of these Investigations have ' been in'
significant."
It is evident that Mr. Blow who
made the discovery thought he had
diamonds for he sent the stonea to
New York to have them examined and
even after the expert passed on them
his faith did not fall. He is still work
ing in the . vicinity and it is evident
that he yet hopes to find something
valuable if he does not find the real
diamonds.
