santa Teresa and Her Marvellous
POwers-Capt. WestOn's Case--A
Correspondents Views.

| 1t is not improbable that Santa Teresa,
the Intelligent Mexican girl possessed of
such marvellous hynoptic power, viii
shortly journey from El Paso to Santa
Fe and remain here sometime. Mayor
Pedro Delgado, Hon. Amado Chayes ard
others have been at work to accomplish
this for some weeks, and if certain pre-
! liminaries can be arranged here there is
scarcely any doubt that this re-
| markabie woman will visit us.
! She is now at I'll Paso, where she sue
cessfully treats daily hundreds of visitors.
AS already reported in these columns, she
was practically forced to leave Mexico
because of her very great influence over a
certain element which the government
feared might rise IN revolt against those
who pretended not to believe in her
achievements. Ever since leaving her
native land she has feared that some i'll
fortune might overtake her because of
the alteration felt for her by those native
Mexicans, and she ha, expressed desire
! to get as far away from the border as
possible in order that any possible up
rising could not be in the least attributed
by the government to her influence, which
she protests, and her friends assert, has
always been of the most loyal nature so
far rs the Diaz government is con-
cerned.
Yesterdays press dispatches tell of an
uprising on the part of the Yaqui and
| Tomichi Indians of Chihuahua and So
moro in her behalf, and it is probable that
she will now more than ever desire to
quit the border for time at least.
| Speaking of Santa Teresa's power, a
writer in a New Orleans paper says:
| Capt. Isaiah Weston, of Ell Paso, Texas,
who was recently cured of paralysis of
| the arm and of partial paralysis of the
| leg by Santa Teresa, continues to receive
letters of inquiry from people afflicted
with diversity of diseases and 'the Saint
of the Mayo Tribe" continues, according
to report, to make remarkable cures.
Senorita Teresa Urea, lovingly called
"Santa Teresa" by the Mexicans, arrived
in El Paso from Nogales, on the Arizona
border, June Is last. l interviewed her
that night, and found her a pleasant-look
ing, intelligent Mexican girl. She looked
to be about IS years of age, but her faith
er assured me that she was 23.
Monday following the Saturday of the
maids arrival, Mexicans for miles around
began tiocking to see their living saint,
carrying their sick, lame and blind to her
to be healed, and to-day the open lot and
| yard around Santa Teresa's house is one
vast camp of invalids and freaks of hu-
manity.
At first Americans watched the ever-in-
creasing crowd and joked at the crsdulity
of the ignorant Mexicans and Indians.
But Santa Teresa made several wonderful
cures of we'll known characters around
the city, and then the Americans began
calling on her.
Among the first of the Americans to
call on the girl was Capt. Isaiah Weston,
agentleman well aud favorably known to
the citizens of Ell Paso. One of his legs
he could not control-that is, he could
not lift it up and place the foot where he
wished-and one of his arms hung help
less at his side. The day he visited Santa
Teresa met him as he was leaving her
house, and when he saw me he waved the
paralyzed arm above his head, and with
tears streaming down his cheeks: "LooH,
my boy! Thank God, Pm saved" To-
day he uses neither cane nor crutch when
walking, and ,an actually run down
flight of stairs.
| did not believe in Santa Teresa;
still had to believe that Capt. Weston
had been cured of paralysis; and several
other cures of minor Importance came
under my personal observation and
was told of hundreds of others, among
them being the cure of 81 Ryan, the pa
tron of Peter Maher, the pugilist, and
E.: M, MT %hn ntar f,f
pugilism.
81 Ryan Ia the proprietor of the Astor
house and stands gilt-edged in commercial
circles. Several months ago he was
stricken down with inHammatory rheu-
matism and a combination of other
troubles. After weeks of suffering he
chartered Pullman car, and accom-
panied by his physician and trained
nurse, went to Santa Rosa spring in Mex
leo. A few days ago he returned, his con-
dition unimproved. He had to be trans
ferred from the car to his room on cot.
Capt. Weston called on him, showed
him what Santa Clara had done for him,
and persuaded Ryan to try her. Ryan
did 80, and to-day is walking around
without pain, though he is only skele-
ton of the 22O-pound man he was four
months ago.
A few days ago received letter
from gentleman in New Orleans asking
me about Santa Teresa and the merits of
her curee. I called that day on Mr.. Ryan
and showed it to him.
"By all means," he said, as he handed
the letter back to me, "tell your friend to
come here and try Santa Teresa. See
what she has done for mel" and jumping
fl ON his chair Mr.. Ryan capered around
the room like boy playing circus.
| When asked to explain Santa Teresa's
treatm ent, he said: "The first time, was
carried to her one morning ana she
rubbed my legs as l lay on my cot. But
there was such suffocating odor arising
from the crowd of afflicted people COM
ing in and going out that could only
stand 1t few minutes. Since then [
send carriage for her and her father to
call on me at my room every morning,
aud now am aim ost as sound as ever.
When she rubbed my legs very long
felt as though pins were being stuck in
every part of my body; but whom she left
me there was no pain anywhere, and
could sleep as peacefully as child.
don't know what it is, My physician
says it is electricity; but whatever the
power may be, know it cured me, and
she declined to accept any money for her
services"
