secret consultation with the leaders of

is based on the ground that Hanna did
not receive a sufficient number of votes

The Rough Riders"
New York Times

The more the facts come to light about
the fight of June 23 last, the more clear
" appear the GOODNESS and bravery of
the volunteer cavalrymen. From the
regulars we expected no less, but what
General Shafter calls the "veteranlike"
behavior of the volunteers was evident
ly a surprise to him, as it would have
been to any professional soldier. We
believe there is no precedent for that
behavior, nc previous instance in which
a band of raw soldiers has confronted a
superior number of regular and sea-
soned troops without betraying confu-
sion, and not only confronted them, but
driven them off. This is the confession
of the enemy. General Shafter puts it
humorously in saying that reports
from Spanish sources from Santiago
say we were beaten, but persisted in
fighting, and they were obliged to fall
back"
As to the comparative number en-
gagged we now know exactly what the
numbers were. The Spanish report is
that 1000 S%paniards were attacked by
10000 Americans and driven back with
q loss of 265. The estimate of the
American forces is Il loose CaStilian OK.
aggeration, but the statement of the
Spanish force is doubtless accurate.
On the other hand. General Wheeler
reports that we had 964 men engaged,
almost equally divided between regulars
and volunteers, and that the total loss
wa 16 killed and SO wounded.
1t is evident that the volunteers be-
haved as well as the regulars. although
their loss happened to be somewhat
heavier. OF the l6 killed they lost eight,
and of the SO wounded, "a. 1t is really
an amazing showing. Of course it will
not do to reckon upon a repetition of
that which has no precedent. Though
not disciplined soldiers, these We're
picked men, and their performance
shows that in extreme cases men of high
individual courage, intelligence, and
self-reliance, led by men like themselves,
may be as efficient a fighting force as an
equal number of men who have been
drilled to respond to orders with the
precision of u machine.

American Availability.

A would-be humorist in IN eastern
paper, in an attempt to be funny at the
expense of the American soldiers and
sailors unconsciously pays a tribute to
the intelligence and bravery of the men
who are going to the front in the pres
ent war, in the following little squib:
''I've just found out" said the flag
lieutenant, 'what that gunner's mate
yonder did before he enlisted"
"What?' asked the quartermaster.
II happened to be standing near him
when he pulled the lanyard during the
bombardment this morning, and every
time he did it he yelled 'C-a-a-s-h!
Change in a minute"
As an instance of the adaptability of
the average American citizen, take the
"Rough Riders" as they are called. At
the present time both hemispheres are
ringing with praise of the bravery, cool
ness and utter disregard for the fire of
unseen foes shown by the members of
that organization; they are declared to
be equal to veterans and ever the
trained men of the regular service have
shown no more soldier-like qualities than
have the raw recruits now serving in
the 1st United States volunteer cavalry.
They had a reputation for these quail
ties before they were enlisted, based on
the childish reason that every man was
supposed to be a cowboy" The fact
is that Colonel Woods regiment is COM
posed of the following classes of young
men: Clerks, stenographers, college
boys, miners, printers, railroad men,
mechanics, %'tramps," a few cowboys"
and several New York 'dudes."
OF course it seems a little hard to dis
pei the romance which has been built
up around the regiment of which New
Mexico is so proud, but it is simply JUS
| tice to the average young man of Amer
lea to state the truth. 1t makes no diff
ference if he was formerly a dry goods
| salesman or a digger of ore or a punch
er of the festive western steer, when he
believes it is his duty to enlist in the
service of his country he shirks no
duty which he is called upon to perform.
1t takes but a short time to transform
him from u ''dude' or a ''hobo' into a
soldier who commands the admiration
of the world. In that respect the
American is without al equal in the
world. From childhood accustomed to
the use of firearms, ready to go any
where he is sent and anxious to resent
an insult to his country and flag, it is
nowise strange that the conduct of the
volunteer in the war with Spain has
astonished the warlike nations Of
Europe with his i%ntrepidity under fire.

In another column this paper pub
fishes a letter from the Rev. Father
John Roux, parish priest at Santa Cruz
in this county, branding q recent report
to the effect that he was a Spanish SYM
pathizer, that his parish followed his
opinions and that the Spanish flag had
been hoisted wei the parish church
there, as an un~mitlgated and unqualified
falsehood. The New MEXICAN takes
great pleasure in giving this letter space
IN its columns and calls attention to the
manly and patriotic language OF the
priest. The report has been widely cir
culated and has already proven OF detri-
ment to the people Of the territory and
Of injury to the clergyman interested.
Father Roux' statement is true. 1t Is
hard for truth to overtake q calumny
and a falsehood, but truth and justice
do In the end prevail In all things. 1t is

klondike.
culated.

The golden land of promise, the dream
of the prospector and placer miner,
Klondike. has at least been heard from,
but the news is anything but encourage
ing. The unlimited number of claims
which were promised to enrich all who
went to that inhospitable land has
dwindled down to 200 paying proper
ties. The many millions of dollars of
gold dust which were promised to the
people of the United States sin the
spring are now estimated at from s.
O00,0 900 to 81. 0O0, 900, and the greater
part of that is yet to be taken from the
ground; at Dawson the Argonauts are
dying from typhoid and pneumonia and
scurvey; the Yukon river is flooding the
narrow low lands along its banks and
w%recking the steamers; in fact the in
t~elligence brought from the far north
west by the vessel which sailed into
Vancouver Il few days ago indicates
that the steamship boom for the gold
fields in the Northwest territory has
collapsed hopelessly, from the want of
something inside of it..
If that is true, some one will have a
long account to settle with the deluded
thousands who have sacrificed home,
comforts, and in many cases health itself,
in the vein hope of lettering their con
dition by listening to the beguiling
songs sung last fall and winter by the
agents of railroad and steamship com
panies. That there is gold in that
country no one doubts, there is gold in
some quantity in the waters of the sea,
but no II has ever made any money
trying to extract it, and the question of
making fortunes by going to ice-bound
Klondike has undoubtedly been settled
for all time to come.
1t seems strange that the men will
pass by New Mexico, where there is
gold in paying quantities in almost
every range of mountains in the terri
tory, to make long and perilous journeys
to countries where life is a constant
struggle against the elements, where
nature has set her seal of disproval on
the very streams and forbidden their
navigation by rendering them impas-
sible only to the frail skiff or Indian
canoe. Some day the ambitious seeker
after golden treasure in the mines and
placers will learn that to make money
mining gold, capital is required. 1t is
true that in the early days of California
a pick and pan were the only requisites
for taking out nuggets, but in the min
ing history of the world California was
the exception which proved the rule.
A mining claim which is valuable does
not hunt long for a purchaser, and in
New Mexico the nan who is willing tc
| work one-half as hard as the men who
have gone to Klondike have and failed,
and put up with one-hundredth part OF
the discomforts of that country, will
| succeed in the end and have years left
to live to enjoy his wealth.
But is the old story of distance lend.
ing enchantment, and so long as men
live, the country beyond will be fairel
than that right at home. That is the
secret of the klondike boom, and will
make possible kindred hoaXes until time
is no more and that last sucker has gone
to his long reward.
