Bold Bad Men From Bitter Creek.

Two men, mounted on sad. weary
looking plugs struck II. M. Porter's
ranch in western Socorro county the
other day, and helped themselves to four
fresh horses without so much as saying,
by your leave please. Porter objected,
but was told he was fortunate in not
being sent up Jacobs ladder; and
further was notified that if he did not
get out of the country in three days his
name would written be Mud. The men
departed unmolested, and are no doubt
the same men who have been holding
up ranches down in Grant county.

cuba until thoroughly Injured to the
hardships of actual military life, and
that probably the regulars would be

IN AT THE DEATH.
With the flagship New York, after
the hills of Cuba had been sighted and
she had started off at a 20-knot clip
to capture the Spanish steamer Pedro,
the Dauntless veered and followed, and
was in at the death. Those on the
Dauntless saw the first hostile shot
fired, and as the flagship swung around
for her chase after what proved to be
a German trading steamer, they gave
the New York the first cheer. But all
these things were seen by a lot of cor
respondents. wet from head to foot

DAYS FITTING END.
The Associated Press dispatch boat
DaHntless was asked through the
megaphone to tow the Spanish prize
to Key West, which was a fitting end
to the day. It was an example of the
grim irony of fate which gave TO the
famous ex-filibuster the first opportun-
ity to tow a Spanish prize to the United
States, for which the thanks of Captain
Chadwick were received. As the Daunt-
less passed under the lee of the New
York she received the heartiest of
cheers from the blue-j jackets, while the
officers clapped their hands, the mega
phone roared some encourag ing words
and Admiral Sampson lifted his cap
in answer to the salute of the CORE
spondents.

which the spray dashed violently; the

mainsail set, her smokestack belching
forth thick smoke, the snaky hawser
leading to where the schooner, heavy
laden, was rolling with her scuppers

the case, is covered with a haze. No

At 1855 a. M. with her anchor apeak,
the Danntless got under way with
plenty of steam up, and with deter
mination among those on board not to
be the last to pass the Sand Key light:
She passed out with a 12-knot rate Of
speed. Then she squared away for the
fleet, not even the smoke of which was
visible at the time. The Daun1ess
dashed ahead until 9 o'clock, when
many black streams were seen making
parallel lines across the southern hori-
zon Ten o'clock, and the vessels Of
the fleet could be counted, even to the
torpedo boats. The maneuvers Of the
squadron were noted, but, of course,
their purpose was not understood.
All IL o'clock the Dauntless passed
the cruiser Wilmington, at the rear of
the long-strung line, with its tor
pedo boat fiankers. Until noon there
were more or less exciting brushes with
one or the other Of the newspaper
boats.
At 1890 pm. the order was given to
slow down, the Dauntless then being
TO the eastward and abeam of the
flagship New York, and ahead of the
long line of newspaper tugs and yachts.
