We wish to state to the good people CT
Las Vegas and vicinity, that the means to
build the Sanitarium have been provided
for. but we are without means to furnish
the building. We have concluded, there
fore, to hold q fair during Thanksgiving
week, to raise funds with which to furnish
the building. We are dependent on the
generosity Of the public to accomplish this
purpose; and desire to state that we do not
expect to get the necessary amount by
large donations, but by the mite from the
many. Hence, we hope that none will re-
fuse to assist US. This is q public institu-
tion by which all will be benefited, and in
which all should feel an interest.

STATEHOOD will come in time, prob
ably DON enough. The people of New
Mexico need not get the idea into their
heads that with statehood, the means
have been accomplished to obtain the
desired end--wealth. 1t is folly OF the
worst sort to attempt to legislate our
selves rich, this only comes by the time
trodden path, of industry and frugality.
So many of the new states of the west
have lost eight of this, that it is we'll

OUR latest Battle ship
The Massachusetts Will Soon He
Placed in Commission.
AN UNOFFICIAL TRIAL. SOON
The Delay in Completion on Account Of
Arinor and Gmus A Sister OF the
Indiana-Other Ships to
he Launched.

Philadelphia. March l2.-The United
States navy will soon be strengthened
by the addition of another powerful war
vessel. On Tuesday next the battle
ship Massachusetts will sail from
Cramps ship yard on her builders trial
trip. AS the trial is for the private in
formation of the Cramp company, no
guests will be aboard, nor will the
government be officially represented on
the trip by any navy officers.
The trial will be made over the course
always used by the Cramps in the I'M
official tests of their ships. This course
is between the two lightshipS anchored
about twenty miles off the Delaware
capeS, and the distance is a trifle short
of 10 knots. The trip will consume
about four days. but the best part of
this; time will be taken up in descending
to the capeS, and ascending the Della
ware river To the ship yard If the trial
is satisfactory the official trial of the
vessel off the Massachusetts coast will
take place in about six weeks.
The Massachusetts was launched over
two years ago, and. hut FOR the delay
in the completion of the armor and
guns. would have been in commission
long ago. The vessel is now practically
finished. and. if necessary. could go into
commission in few weeks.
The delay for several months past has
been due to the non arrival of the -four
big l3-inch rifles which form the MaSsa-
chuSetts main battery. Two of these
guns are i'm place in their turretS, and
one is now on it's way here from the
government proving grounds at Indian
Head. and the fourth will be shipped
from Bethlehem in a day or two. With
the mounting of these guns the ship will
be practically completed The MaSsa-
chusetts has been lying in the water for
over two years and her bottom is prob
ably very foul. Now that the big dry
dock at Port Royal is finished, ii is
likely that the Massachusetts will he
sent there and docked. and her bottom
clcun ned before her official trial.

The Massachusetts is a sister ship Of
the Indiana. The big cruiser brooklyn,
which was launched last fall is rapidly
approaching completion. ana will have
an official trial about the middle of next
July.
The sea going battleshp Iowa will
be launched about the end of this

Dcfeut by Abyssinians and Declares


Rome, March l2-According to the
Agenzia DItala, 10000 DerVishes are
investing kaSsala, the town which was
captured from them some time ago by
the Italians. General Baratieri, who
was lately superseded in the command
of the Italian forces in Africa, in an
interview at MasSoWay on his reasons
for attacking the Abyssinians at Adowa
said that infOima ton he had received
led him to believe that ii would be easy
to occupy the positions he assailed. He
reckOned that the force of AbNsSinians
would retreat. Instead Of doing SO they
had inflicted IA defeat ON the Italian
army and he was ready tn submit to the
consequences.
The Trihuna publishes an interview
with General Baratieri in which he de
nies that the government urged him to
attack the Abyssinians. but he adds
that all his generals favored the max
ing of the attack. n victory for the
Italians had been partially won and was
virtually assured, when the ma alive bat
