We were asked a few weeks ago

We could go into further details,
aside from the attempt of the Sec

unnecessary. Now, concerning the

Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1898-06-18

July &, promises TO be a gathering of
representative men interested in mining
in the United States and will prove of
great benefit to the western states.
New Mexico, having vast mining in
%terests, particularly in precious metals,
should be represented in a manner fit
ting the Importance of her mineral
wealth, and Governor Otero has done
what he could toward advancing the dew
elopment of the mineral industry in the
territory by appointing 80 delegates to
attend the session of the congress at Salt
Lake. 1t now rests with the delegates
named to make that gathering spread
the fame of New Mexico into all parts
of the country.
At the Transmississippi exhibition a
magnificent exhibit of mineral and ores
from the territory has been installed,
and much attention will be attracted
among miners and mine investors by it.
but the effect of that display can be
greatly augmented by the attendance of
the delegates appointed to the congress
for the purpose of presenting the ad-
vantages of New Mexico as a mining
country to practical miners. Doubtless
the majority of the delegates present at
the Salt Lake meeting will attend the
exposition before returning to theil
homes, and by having had attention
called to the exhibit by men who know
the country from whence it came, the
beneficial effects will be more thar
doubled.
1t is to be hoped that every one of the
| 80 gentlemen named in the list of dele
gates will find it convenient to attend
the congress, and while there no oppor-
tunity should be lost to speak a good
word for the mines and minerals of New
Mexico.

ChivaIrous Spanish Officials.

Once more is the bravery and gal
lantry of the Spanish commanders
exhibited to the world, and that
is in the manner and place in
which the heroic crew of the Mcr
rimac is confined. 1t will be remem-
bered that after the sinking of the col
lier in the channel of the entrance to
the harbor at Santiago de Cuba and the
capture of Lieutenant Hobson and com
| panions. Admiral Cervera, under a flag
of truce, sent word to Admiral Sampson
that out of admiration for the bravery
of his prisoners, they would be well
cared for until they could be ex-
changed, and then the Spanish gentle
man s%traighway incarcerated them in
MORO castle for the express purpose of
keeping that fortress from being battered
down by the American fleet.
This may be in keeping with the Span
ish idea Of kindness and chivalry, of
which so much has been heard since the
Cuban war began more than two years
ago, but it strikes the average barbarian
as being the quintessence of cruelty.
The time may come when ever the
presence of the brave Americans in
MORO castle can no longer prevent an
| attack on the structure. In that event
| eight Of the bravest men who ever en-
tered the service of their country will
be at the mercy of flying shot and shell
and falling walls. The people of New
Mexico and Arizona once thought the
Apache Indians were experts in the arts
of cruelty to prisoners, but their great
est efforts in that line were as nothing
when compared with the refined kind
ness of Spanish naval commanders.

Learning Lessons From the Yankees.

Already the lessons" Of the war be-
tween the United States and Spain are
being heard Of, and the nations of the
world are preparing to profit by the ex-
perience of this country in war prepare
tons and equipments. The lessons
which have been learned by the naval
powers are somewhat varied in char
acter, but they all point to the same
conclusion, that preparation consists in
having on hand something more than
a miscellaneous lot of ships which once
were considered equal to the resistance
of the armament of other countries.
| No less a parsonage than Rear Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, of the navy of
Great Britain, makes a statement con-
corning the fleets of the mistress of the
seas, which, in many respects, is fatter-
ing to the United States navy, in which
he says:
1.-The war between the United States
and Spain has taught us useful lessons.
1t has taught us the absolute necessity
of complete and thorough organization
previous to war, instead of trusting to
chances. 1t has taught us the value of
a proper supply of cruisers and the in
effectiveness of obsolete guns against
the range and accuracy of modern wea-
pons.
.'No other nation has a ship on the
effective list armed with mu~zzle-loading
guns, whereas England has As. Any
nation that sent men to fight on blue
water, or relied for harbor protection
on such weapons, would certainly get
short shrift."
1t would seem from the authority of
n of the recognized naval experts in
the world that after all the real strength
Of a naval power does not consist so
much in the number of vessels pos
sessed, as in the effectiveness of the
guns on board of perhaps a few well
appointed warships. To that factor
must also be added the skill of the men
who handle the cannon. In that par
ticular the United States Is probably
the first among the nations of the world.
The accuracy with which the fire from
the great rifles on the warships and
cruisers has been directed against
Spanish Notifications and ships by
American gunners has been a revela-
ton to the gunners aboard the vessels
of foreign powers, and has astonished
the nations with the possibilities of a
great gun when manned by men who
thoroughly understand their business.
Another point to which Lord Beres-
ford directs attention, is the absolute
necessity of having a sufficient number
OF swift cruisers to act as scouts and for
open sea fighting. First-class battle
ships, %ponderous and almost impreg-
nable, are indispensable in battle and
for purposes Of defense, but when it is
necessary to harass al enemy's COM
merce and TO strike telling blows in un-
expected quarters, the swift cruisers are

After all, the New York yellow jour
mails can not hold a candle to Captain
General Blanco and the Havana news
papers. From a recent number of Ell
Progresso, a leading government organ,
published in Havana, it is learned. that
New York is starving and the citizens
are only kept alive by soup kitchens;
Boston has been bombarded and the in
habitants have fed into the interior;
Mr.. Mckinley is besieged in the White
house by insurgents; New York and
Philadelphia are full of barricades and
bloodshed; the Philippines have been
retaken; the American feet has been
sunk; the United States is suing for
peace. In consequence "the greatest
enthusiasm prevails" in the City of Ha.
vana. What a great soldier and states
mar General Blanco is, to be sure.

THE SUN SHINES more hours i

a popular idol of the people and they
demanded vengeance. Doughty is now
shoveling coal for an enterprising firm
down south in a tropical country.
That the people Of Texas appreciate
the services of their ranger heroes is
evidenced by the following which APP
peared in the Fort Worth Gazette sub
sequent to the resignation of Captain
McMurray
captain McMurray has really re-
signed the c%apraincy of the Ranger COM
pany stationed here, to the regret of
everyone who knows him. 1t will be
next to impossible to get as good an officer
as Captain McMurray."
There are many other noted charac-
tiers that formerly linked their d~estinies
with the rangers and are now retired
from active service. Down neal San
Antonio resides one who is known as
big Foot Wallace" He is six feet two
inches in height and is entitled to big
feet, so he does not object to the Ok
pressive, if not euphonious "handle."
Wallace came to Texas from Virginia in
1886 to collect toll as he expressed it,
for relatives killed in the Fannin mas.
sacre. He was captured in the Meir
expedition and taken to the City of
Mexico, where he did public work for
the city. He was very much attached
to a ball and chain and wore II con-
stantly. Finally the squad of prisoners
o~verpowered the guards and escaped to
the desert. They were saved from
death by thirst by being recaptured and
in payment for their pleasantly with
the guard, Santa Ana ordered the squad
''decimated." or every tenth a shot,
the victims being decided by black
jar from which the prisoners drew their
fate. Wallace did not draw a prize
and was later released. For a>number
! of years he carried the mail between Ell
Paso and San Antonio through a howl
| ing wilderness. At one time he laid 13
] days by a water hole on the desert wait
ing for a broken leg to mend, and sub
sisted on a prairie wolf which he man
aged to shoot.
Captain McMurray thinks that rs or
100 rangers scattered over New Mexico
would cause a more wholesome respect
for law and order and would o 0 effect
the determination of the outlaw bands
operating along the southern border.
But unfol tunately the finances of the
territory will not permit it and Governor
Otero's endeayors to have the expense
of such an organization borne by the
government, have been futile so far.
The captain pays a glowing tribute to
New Mexico's volunteers in the Cowboy
regiment by the words: "New Mexico
should be proud of her prompt and ef-
ficient work in the matter of furnishing
recruits in the present war. And the
young men who went to the front are to
be especially commended, for it is such
spirits that conquer barbarity and set
humanity. peace and justice on a firm
or footing. Indominitable. courage and
~tenacity of purpose are born in these
young men and it needs but service
that will innure them to hardships to
place them in condition for campaigns
that will win the plaudits of the nation
and force the foe into submission. l
look for great things from the western
boys in this war"

form the work satisfactorily.
The nations of Europe are learning
these lessons at the expense of America,
but at the same time Americans are not
losing sight of the fact that the SUI
periority of Yankee ships and gunners
and guns are teaching other lessons to
the world, the principal being that
this country is a%bundantly able to take
care of itself in almost any emergency
which may arise.
