Something the Matter wnh New Mexico
There is certainly something the mat
ter with New Mexico.
There is no indication Of the condition
Of a state more reliable than the ap-
pearance Of its newspapers. We have
been receiving half a dozen or more New
Mexico newspapers as exchanges for the
past twenty years, and they were always
a poor dull lot. You could open any one
Of them. glance over 1t, take In Its entire
contents in about two minutes, and
realize that the town Il came from was a
one. horse sort OF a place.
But in the last two years there has
been a %pereeptible and gradual increas.
ing change, and now all these New Mex
leo papers reflect on every page the new
growth OF yigor and hope. 1t isn't only
the ability Of the local editOrs-nOt many
reporters can keep a paper full OF news
when there isn't anything going on.
Now and then there ia one who can do it,
but when all these papers show the same
progress II e a good deal. They are
publishing items OF news about exten.
sive progress In agriculture. They con-
tain frequent mention Of notable events
In mining-both lode and placer mines.
They describe big things in the way of
fruit growing. More people are coming
in and the population ia increasing-a
fact that Pueblo business and mannfac-
turing houses should bear In mind

THE FIGHT OFF MATANZAS.
Dupont and Hornet Had Brush
With Batteries.

Key West, May THE torpedo boat
Dupont came in tonight and reported a
sharp engagement off Matanzas last night
and this morning. The Dupont and aux
iliary cruiser Hornet We're cruising near
the shore last night and when about 600
yards from land, were fired upon by a
body Of cavalry about 200 strong which
was spread along the shore on the look
out for tlibusterers. According to the
Dupont's story both vessels returned the
fire, scattering the Spanish troops and
then bombarded the NIatanzas fortitica
tions. There were in the nature of sand
blockhouses, nine i'll number. The bonn
bardment lasted from 4 o'clock to $50
The Dupont men say that their shells
toppled over the barlicades in course cf
erection and they are sure that many of
the Spanish soldiers were killed as they
afterwards saw wagons taking away dead
or wounded. The survivors fled to the
hills.
This morning the Matanzas fortifca-
tions opened fire, sending three S-inch
shells at the Dupont and Hornet. They
were lineshots but the boats were out of
range. The dupont and Hornet then re-
sumed the bombardment and continued
it until $3.50 o'clock. The Dupont men
think they have effectually silenced what
the big fleet left of the Notifications there
and that in the two engagements the
boats fired about 200 shots.

On the Castillo 100 were killed and &C
wounded.
Snnnish IOsxex Over 1000.

The Spanish losses aggregate more than
a thousand. There were no casualties
among the Americans except that six OF
the Baltimore's crew Were slightly wound
ed by one of the enemys shells striking
shell on the deck and exploding it
There were three shot holes in her upper
works, five in the upper works OF the
Olympia and whaleboat smashed on the
Raleigh. No other damage was done any
where.
The disparity between the injury in
ficted on the Spanish fleet and that s,ls-
tanned by the Americans is due to the
superior guns of the later and the super
ior craftsmanship at long range.
The Manila Esplanade Krupp lO-inch
guns were fired continuously, but the
Americans avoided replying and the bat
terry showed a white flag afterwards.
Capitulation Still Unsettled.
The terms Of capitulation are still un
settled. Commodore Dewey fears rioting
by the rebels if he attempts lombard
ment.
The forts at the entrance to the bar
capitulated and We're dismantled on We'd
nesday. The Americans cut the cable,
but the spaniards refused to permit them
to use it pending the surrender of the
city, and it is therefore not known what
is tlanspiring on shore.

DISORDER THROUGHOUT SPAIN,
The People Are HoxvIins and Fight

Madrid, May 9.-Disorder in the Span
ish provinces is increasing Riots have
now broken out at Cadiz and Alicante
and the trouble is expected to spread to
parts of the country which have hitherto
been quiet.
At Martos, men, women and children
have been parading the streets crying
Death to the thieves!'
Serious rioting occurred at Linares yes
terday. The mobs attacked the town
hall, tore out the windows and threw
everything movable into the streets.
Conflict between the civil guards and
rioters resulted, it is said, in the death
of IA people, 60 wounded Renforcements
were asked for.
Later the mob made another attack on
the town hall and routed the civil guards
The rioters We're well supplied with am
munition and kept up a hot fire, at the
same time yelling ''Down with taxes!'
Serious disorders occurred at Bronos,
at which place the village priest was
stoned to death The latest report says
the fighting is still i'll progress.
The political situation here is unchang-

Searching for the Spania rds.

Swift auxiliary cruisers are cruising the
ocean in serach of the Spanish fleet
These facts all point to the theory that
there is to be a union of the armored
ships under Admiral Sampson with those
under Commodore Schley at a point in
the ocean previously agreed upon, and
that the scouts are to report to them
there the location and direction Of the
Spanish ships.
1t is not believed to be possible that the
Spanish ships will be able to avoid all
Of the scouting vessels. As soon as Rear
Admiral Sampson learns the whereabouts
of the Spanish fleet and the direction in
which it is sailing, he can get under way
to intercept it, throwing his scouts out
in front SO as to cover a wide eXpanse
Of sea and following with his armored
vessels in line of battle and ready to
tact with the enemy.
Opinions differ somewhat in naval cir
cles as to the destination of the Spanish
fleet. Many naval officers can scarcely
conceive it to be possible that the Span
ish admiral would be so rash as to bring
his vessels within reach of such an over
whelming force as that which Admiral
Sampson could bring against him. They
believe that if he has held westerly
course, he counts on being able to reach
Puerto Rico and get his vessels safely
into the harbor Of San Juan before he
can be attacked by an overwhelming
American force.
When Nillami left st. Vincent the
American force was divided. Rear Ad-
