WAsHINGToN, Dec. 19.-The Japanese
Legation here has received dispatch
from Hiroshima, sent through its Minis
ter at st. Petersburg, detailing the move
meuts OF the Japanese troops in China.
Following is the message:
"HIRosHIAIA. Dec l9.-The third di-
vision OF the first army took Hsi-Mo-
Chang on December 18th, and occupied
Hal Chong on December 18th. Both
places are on the route to and near Nai
Chang and Lao Chang. NIEssE."
At the legation it is said that the third
army is evidently on its way to Join
Field Marshal Oyama at Mai Chang. This
is an exceedingly valuable strateuic
point. The message gives the first au-
thentic information as to the movements
OF the third army, and shows thai it is
not preparing to menace Shanghai, as has

Twelve claims have been located. 1t lies
in blanket vein four feet thick and is to
be traced over an area of 400 acres. 1t is
situated on public land, between the
Manzano and Belen grants, twenty miles
east of Belen, the nearest railroad sta
tion. Near at hand soft coal cropping,
three and one-half feet vein, is also
now being opened. Mr.. Humphrey
says this copper can be mined for so
cents ton and on this basis he calcu-
lates that it will prove a bonanza. Six
miles from the copper claims, Socorro
parties are now opening very promising
gold, silver and copper deposits and they
claim that they have raised capital to

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
1t Stands SOlidly Back of the officials
Who Are Clearing Up the
Moral Atmosphere at
Santa Fe.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, Jan. 16.-I was sorry to see
the head lines placed over my letter in
Saturdays newspaper. They seemed to
attribute to ex-Gov. Prince, exclusively,
all that was contained in the communion
ton. The great mistake made by him in
Albuquerque did occasion the writing of
the article, but some things said by me
had no application, SO far as know, to
Gov. Prince. They bear directly upon
the conduct of other, politicians, in both
parties. For instances: I do not i'm
agine that Gov. Prince seeks Office for
emoluments. On the contrary, presume
he expended for the entertainment of the
public, and for other objects that lay
near his heart, much more, while he was
governor, than the salary of his Office
would justify the incumbent in spending.
Men have different reasons for seeking
office.
The chief points of the letter were
these:
/. A contradiction of the assertions
said by the Albuquerque Citizen to have
been made by Gov. Prince.
1t is not true that the best citizens of
Santa Fe disapprove of Sheriff Cunning
hams employment of Iuen qualified to
deal vigorously and successfully with out
laws and assassins. This knew before
l wrote the letter, but since its publica-
ton overwhelming evidence of the gener-
al appreciation, among good men and
good Republicans, of all that wrote has
come to me in volume that almost as
tonishes me. The people are in no mood
to tolerate word that will weaken the
arms of efficient officers of the law. Only
energetic execution of justice can save
us from lynch law. He is an enemy to
the public peace who would assist or re-
tard movements that aim to ferret out
crime and punish criminals. The most
determined investigation of the murders
committed in recent years should be I'M
ceasingly prosecuted. If it be possible
to apprehend, convict and hang the muir
derers of Faustin Ortiz and Frank Cha
vez, this city and our territory will be
the gamer, in respect of security and of
reputation, for such proceedings.
2. The good citizens of Santa Fe, of
both parties, are filled with intense indig-
nation against any managers or agents of
either party who have formed compacts
with political thugs and rewarded them
for political assassinations. That man
was suspected of completely with crime
should have deferred conventions from
nominating him for even the lowest
Office. 1t debauches public opinion to
consider such man as eligible to nomi-
| nation.
3. Leaders who wink at crime, or
screen criminals, the good citizens of
Santa Fe will desert, condemn and abhor.
Such leaders are the blacklist of all vii
lains, and should be openly branded as
such. Gro. G.. SMITH.

FATAL EXPLOSION in A Mine
Two Men Killed and Seven
Seriously Injured.
THE MINE IN A BAD CONDITION
A Miracle That the Fatalities
We're Not Greater.
Deadly Explosion in a Coal Mine Near
Kansas City, Moan Accumulation of
Gas Fired by Miners Lamp-Two
Killed and Seven Badly Hurt.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March 3.--Two men
were instantly killed, two fatally burned
and five others dangerously hurt last
evening, in an explosion at the Kansas
City Clay and Coal Cornpauy's coal mine,
near Leeds, six miles southeast of Kansas
City. The dead are Eugene Parker,
coored, aged 80, and Thomas Duggins,
aged 81.
The injured are 0. L. Wilson, aged IS,
fatally burned about the arms, body and
head; W. s. Slattery, aged %, legs fractured
and otherwise injured by the coal lift, has
family; William Fuller, seriously burned
about the arms and body; S. Farrell co.,
ored, fearfully burned about the body;
benjamin hardest, colored. internally in
jured. badly bruised by flying debris;
William Harris, colored, burned about the
body; William Murray. white, badly
burned on the back and will die.
The mine had been In an unsafe condi-
ton for some time and had been con.
demned by the State mine inspector. The
fans were out OF repair and stopped fire.
quently and yesterday evening they were
stopped for half an hour, just before the
explosion. A large amount of gas ac-
cumulated in the meantime, and 1t is sup
posed the explosion was caused BY one Of
the miners going into chamber which
was filled with the deadly gas.
There were IL men in the mine at the
time, and 1t is miracle that 80 few were
killed and injured, as they were all work
ing in the same level.
