The BORREGOS RESPITED
The President Grants a Respite to
the Condemned Men Until
March 23.
TELEGRAM FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL
While Preparing for Death Message
from Attorney General Harmon
Changes the Program for the
Men Condemned TO Die.

great many of the relatives and
friends of the four men condemned to
death and now in the penitentiary, we're
permitted to see them this morning for a
final leave taking. The four men were
found firm and quiet, and the talk of con.
fession and the like has no foundation in
fact whatever. Francisco Gonzales made
speech over an hour in duration, in
which he stated that he and his brother
and Valencia and Alarid were innocent of
the crime of which they were convicted,
and that there was nothing to confess and
he would not dishonor himself even in
this dire extremity for Communication or
any other favorable consideration. He said
that he was sure his attorneys had done all
mortal men could do in defending them /;
that he and the other three men honored
and respected Mr.. Catron and Mr.. Spiess
for the noble work they had done for
them, and he told his friends and relatives
to stand by Oatron and Spiess always,
and that no money fee could repay the
services rendered by them and he further
advised his relatives to lay down their
lives in their service, if necessary.
Considerable excitement was manifest
ed through the day, the sub ect of the
condemned mon being discussed every
where about town to the exclusion of all
other matters. Early in the day the gov
ernor ordered company B, LIST infantry,
to report to the superintendent of the
penitentiary at O'Clock this evening
for extra guard duty, and the members
of the company were preparing for duty,
when shortly after O'Clock telegram
was announced from the encouragement,
which put the matter in a new light.
This message was as follows:
H. s. Kinsell, Sheriff Santa Fe County, N. M.
Washington, D. G., Feb. 20.-President
has granted respite in case of Francisco
Gonzales y Borrego, Antonio Gonzales y
Borrego, Lauriano Alarid and Patricio
Valencia, until March 23. Will forward
warrant to U. S. marshal. Acknowledge
receipt of this telegram. HARMON,
Attorney General.
The message occasioned great rel oicing
among majority of the people, and es-
pecially among the friends of the con-
demned men, who had about given up
hope. Several people, among others
Senator Spices and Col. Frost, had an
intimation earlier in the day that a
respite would be granted, but to most
people the message came as big sur
prise.

THE NAVY PERSONNEL.
A Determined Effort to Eject Its Re-
organization.


There will be a most determined effort
made in the Fifty-fifth Congress to in
crease the efficiency of the navy by adapt
ing the organization of the personnel to
existing conditions. The first naval bill
Of the session was introduced by Represen-
tative Wilson of New York. a member of
the naval committee of the last House.
The measure submitted by Mr.. Wilson was
formulated by him with the assistance of
naval experts. 1t recognizes the fact that
a navy to be efficient in time of war must
not only have an engineering reserve to
draw upon, but that intelligent and
patriotic crew must be provided for Pro-
vision has. therefore, been made whereby
enlisted men cannot only secure commits
sions in the naval service, but it will be
obligatory upon the part of the naval Off
Gals to give practical encoura cement and
assistance to deserving men in the effort
to fit themselves for higher duties.
A remedy is provided whereby progress
sive increase is made in the undermanned
engineer corps of the navy. An official
rank and status commensurate with the
duties and Importance of the naval en-
gineer are accorded the scientific experts
of the service
By reason of the unwillingneSs of the
cadets at the Naval Academy to volunteer
has been given the chronological schools
of the country to train men for the navy
BY this means the cadets at the Naval
Academy will be brought in competition
with young men from civil life, and the
navy will receive. as engineer officers the
elect of 10th Institutions.
Not only the chronological colleges, but
the various industrial organizations con-
nected with the mechanical trades, are di-

the streets about The Star buildings get
full details of the fight as rapidly as cleo
tricity could communicate them, but the
community generally quickly inform
ed through Star extras promptly issued
Extra Stars announcing the result and Civ
ing full details of the fight round by round
were issued and newsboys were flying
through the city with them before other
newspapers seemed to have discovered that
the fight was over. The Star. besides its
usual news services, had two special wires
running direct into the office from the
arena at Carson City, and every movement
OF the fighters was reported instantly.

THE NEWS OF THE FIGHT
How the Star Gave 1t to the People of Wash
ington.
A Graphic Story Told to Vast Crowds
Through MegnphOnes-Rapfd
Work With Extras

The interest that Washingtonians took in
the great fight was well shown il the i'm
niense crowds that gathered about the
bulletin boards and in every place where
the returns were received and made public
Several of the local theaters received the
returns, which were read at intervals from
the stage. The news also received at
the various clubs. But the biggest crowd
Of all gathered about The Star Office as II
vas sccn discovered that the promptest
ard fullest news was to be obtained there
The arrangements made by The Star for
receiving and announcing the news proved
most satisfactory.
1t was not long after neon when men be-
gan to gather about The Star Office anx-
icus to secure desirable positions near the
bulletin boards. There they stood patiently
until the news came that the men had en-
tered the ring and were ready for the word
This was a few minutes after 3 o'clock
and in the meantime the crowd had grown
TO enormous proportions. 1t was the largest
crowd that ever gathered for d similar pur-
pose in this city, and when the news Of the
fighting began to come in there must have
been at least 5000 people around the corner
of 11th street and Pennsylvania avenue.
That is conservative estimate. and it is
probable that the exact number was sew
eral thousand in excess of that. Between
Tie Star office and Brentanos the crowd
Wss packed in like sardines, stretching up
1lth street half way to E street. and out
into the avenue beyond the cable car
tracks. The crowd was informed of all the
details of the big fight within a very few
seconds of the time each blow was struck
nearly 300 miles away. Upon the steps
on the tn street side of The Evening Star
buildings a small platform had been built,
ard on this was placed a big double black
board. The beard swung on pivots, that

an idea of the fight If he had made the
