THE native population Of New Mex
SEQ, that is the people OF Spanish and
Mexican descent are not enlisting TO
any serious extent. Various reasons
are given for this sad state OF affairs.
IL is said that the priests in some Mex
lean towns are preaching against the
United States and telling the people
that Spain is their mother country,
aud they owe their allegiance 10 her:
that the tie Of language is proving
stronger than the tie OF patriotism,
and that q great many OF them will
not enlist because they are towards.
When the rough riders were being en-
listed Max Luna, one OF the most
prominent natives of the territory, was
given a commission and organized a
company, but he got only a few ma
tiyes in his company. When Cover
nor Otero started to enlist the four
Infantry companies that are now be-
ing organized he endeavored to get the
natives TO enlist. He offered a COM
mission to Perfecto Armijo, one Of
the most prominent members OF the
powerful Armijo family at Albuquer-
Que, II he would ecu native volun-
teers. Mr.. Armijo declined the COM
mission. The governors brother
Page B. Otero, one OF the most popu-
lar men In the northern part OF the
territory, went TO Santa Cruz, but
could not secure a single recruit. He
learned that the priest had been
preaching against the United States

Editor Atlanta Constitution: In your
issue OF Sunday last Bill Arp tells us
that 1t was General Zachary Taylor, "Old
Rough and Ready" who made use OF the
expression, "a hasty plate of soup" in
connection with some report OF his an
nouncing military success.
This is all a mistake. 1t was not Gene
raj Taylor who used these words; neither
can they be found In any dispatch re-
porting any achievement whatever
The expression was first made use OF
by Major-General Winfield Scott in q
note addressed by him TO the then Sec
rotary OF War to explain and TO excuse
his absence from his Office at a time
when that functonary had called TO see
him. In this hurriedly written note no
said, II am back in my Office. having
only stepped out TO take hasty plate Of
soup"
This Is the origin OF a phrase that had
much 10 do with the defeat OF General
Scott for the presidency. Whilst General

Balloons for the NAVY.
of the Dispatch:

40 the Editor or the DlSpatcn:
II our navy had in its signal-service
balloons. could IL not see into the har-
Dor OF Santiago the first fair day, and
know whether the Spanish fleet is there?
From 1851 TO 1856 considerable use was
made OF balloons in the army, and IT
seems that warships possess facilities for
carrying, lettering. and using them that
any army does not. By them an outlook
OF four or five hundred feet in height can
be had, and which might save many miles
of steaming, as well as give inside views
OF almost any harbor I'm Cuba, and that,
too. at a safe distance from shoreguns.
This idea is so simple and apparently
30 practical that I hesitate to print st.
as there certainly must be some such
provisions made, or the balloons have been
rejected for good reasons. unknown TO
any outsider. AS IL IS, let 1t go for
what IL is worth. G. G. Z.
Our government has not been unmind-
full OF the possible value of balloons. 1t
has had several balloons made in Paris,
and has also brought over for service in
our army or navy two famous French
aeronauts.
