A HINT TO OFFICERS OF II NEW MEX
ICo NATIONAL GUARD.
1t is reported that officers of the Ma
tional Guard of New Mexico in Albu-
querque and probably one or two other
places are taking it upon themselves to
criticise the acts of their superior Off
GERS and OF the commander in chief.
Such acts are military otfenses and
liable to punishment by court martial.
The law under which officers and en-
listed men of the New Mexico National
Guard are enlisted Or commissioned. is
amply strong for this purpose and Off
GERS should remember that Governor
Otero is commander in chief and as such,
from a military standpoint, his acts are
above criticism or cavil. No foolishncSs
will be allowed or tolerated, and the law
and regulations will be rigidly enforced
in such cases as come before the notice
of the officers. The officers who have
so little conception of military law aid
conduct that they take the liberty OF
expressing opinions regarding the ac'
tions of superior officers will be taught
a lesson.
MEDICAL EXAMINERS.
DR.. j. M. Diaz, of Santa Fe, has beer
appointed acting assistant surgeon
United States army, and he and DR.. J,
A. MaSsie conduct the examination Of
recruits. The examining board fol
surgeons and hospital stewards consists
of DR.. Diaz and of Drs. J. H. Sloan anC
w. Eggert, Of Santa Fe, the latter two
appointed by Governor Otero. The eX
animation of recruits is very rigid anC
strict and as laid down by the Uniteo
States army regulations. The proportion
of men rejected is quite large. and the
men accepted are fine specimens o.
physical manhood.
