Rev. G. S. Madden has returned from

The Albuquerque Citizen of last
evening contained the announcement
that Captain Max Luna had received a
cablesram from General Wood, order
ing him to report in Santiago for duty
at once, and that he would leave in a
few days for Cuba. Captain Luna is at
present in Santa Fe, and the Informal
ton concerning his movements, in the
Citizen, is all news to him. The captain
was elected a member of the 33d legis-
lative assembly last month and expects
to take an active part in the delibera-
tons of that body during the session,
which begins next month.
County Commissioner Mclaughlin, of
Golden, returned to the camp this after
noon. He says the johnson dry washer
is more than fulfilling what is expected
Of it, and the only hitch is something
that hardly any mechanism
car provide against, viz, lack
of water. However, this will
be remedied by an apparatus which
saves the water after using, and sends
it back into the main machine for use
over again. The camp is doing very
well for thist time of year, and the Santa
Fe Copper Company, for instance, has
20 men steadily at work.
Parties from the south say that there
was the worst wind and rain storm in
Albuquerque and Las Cruces yesterday
that hat section of the country has

Kansas blizzard raging over Texas, and
that the blow and snow fall in this city
are the tail end Of the Texas meteoro-
logical blowout.

offered by the Guild. At the children's
table, besides fancy articles, will be
home made candy, cookies and popcorn
and a variety of pretty trifes at the
small price of 5 cents.
This has been a very quiet day in
town. The snow storm Of last night and
today seems to have cast a gray pail
over the whole situation, and the gen.
eral social and business atmosphere has
