Why Bail For Oliver Lee Was Not
Accepted.

(Dona Ana County Republican,
''Oliver Lee offered to give bail in any
sun up into the thousands; why didn't
Judge Parker accept it?n
We have actually heard this weighty
question p%ropounded.
Has it come to pass when courts of
Justice must compromise with the ac-
cused?
If Lee had not been afraid of the evil
dence would he ever have placed him
self in position of such a fragrant con
tempt of court!
We say no to both questions. The
very foundation of courts of justice
contemplate acting upon the guilt or in
nocence of the accused only on the
evidence adduced at the trial. 1t was
entirely out of the province of the court
TO accept Mr.. Lees magnanimous offer
of giving himself up on condition he
was given bail and released, therefore
there is nc m of Judge Parker's
hesitancy for one moment about the
proposition. Judge Parker is a good
lawyer and personally a fair-minded
man-consequently a just judge, as his
official acts attest, however, had he
been only a day laborer, exalted to the
bench, he would have done Just as he
did-ignore such an overture.
As to Lee or Gilliland's former guilt it
will, certain as that the stars shine, be
brought out in court, and each success
i've crime and act of outlawry only
strengthen the chain of bloody guilt.

Wonderful Progress Of the MescaIeros.

Captain V. E. Stottler, U. S. army,
who has Just been relieved as acting
agent of the Mescalero Apaches in
southeastern New Mexico, was one of
the best agents in the service He had
charge of the Mescalero Apache Indian
agency for three years and d half and
during that short space of time the
Mescaleros made more and better pro-
gress toward civilization, decency and
education than during the 40 years be-
fore that time. Captain Stottler turns
the agency over to mis- successor, DR..
William Nc. M. Luttrell, in first-class
shape; every child of school age is at
school; every Indian, man or woman,
wears civilized clothes; every family is
provided with permanent habitation;
r%ations, except beef, have been cut off
and the Indians are compelled to work
for a living and improve whether or no.
No squaw paints her face and no Indian
wears long hair. Poligamy has been
abolished. From being insolent, saucy
and lazy, the Indians are now obedient,
respectful and do lots of work. Tizwin
making, drunken orgies and savage
dances have not taken place for three
years. About every acre of available
agricultural land on the agency is under
ditch and in cultivation. The Mescaleros
are now herding sheep and making
blankets. They haul their own supplies,
run their own sawmill, erect their own
log houses and fences, construct irriga-
ton bitches, cultivate land and do lots
of labor. They raise an abundance Of
grain, alfalfa and vegetables. They
have made wonderful progress indeed.
In reluctantly consenting to Captain
Stottler's relief, on the captains own
application, the secretary of the interior
addressed a letter to him, in which he
complimented the captain very highly
on his efficiency and success as agent
and expressed his great regrets at los
ing such a valuable officer from the In
dian service.

| allowed to decrease to very small num-
bers, but the increase in prices the past
II months has caused a revival of inter
est in sheep raising in that section and
the farmers are DESTROYS of increasing
their holdings. making IA demand for
ewes which will require not less than
100000 to fill. These must come from
the west, and because of the superiority
of New Mexico sheep. a well defined de-
mand for yves from this territory has
set in. On the other hand there is a
disposition on the part of the sheep
raisers of New Mexico to retain all ewes
for breeding purposes, and this feature
of the market alone will force prices up
very materially.
The outlook for lamb feeding next
winter, as is usual at this time of
the year, is problematical. In Colorado,
as the feeding season approaches, the
majority of the buyers and feeders will
endeavor to secure New Mexico lambs.
as past experience has shown that lambs
from this territory are generally of a
medium grade, not thick pelted, the
flesh has not the oily taste of the finer
grades and commands a better price
when fattened and placed on the mar
ket. In addition to bringing more
money, New Mexico lambs thrive better
On feed and are more quickly placed in
condition for selling. The increase of
lambs the past spring will average
about 90 per cent, but the number kept
on the ranges this fall will be much
larger than last. The demand and the
reluctance to sell will insure high prices.
This promising condition is offset ONE
what by a determination On the part of
feeders not to pay the prices which OBJ
tanned last fall.
The results of last winters feeding
were satisfactory, showing an average
profit of so cents per head, but buyers
feel that the returns should be larger.
However, contracts for fall delivery are
now being made in the territory, rang
ing from $1.25 to $1.75 per head and
those prices will increase when it be-
comes certain that owners of lambs are
not anxious to sell at prices less than
those of the past year. While it is not
the intent to give advice, the New Mex
IcAN believes that sheepmen who hold
their lambs until September will make
no mistake.
The returns from the spring clip of
wool SO far show that the crop is fully
equal to that of last year in quantity,
while the quality is above the average.
The prices range from IA to Is cents on
the ranges, and will pay the tlockmas-
tiers a handsome profit.

Captain Max. Luna.
albuquerque Citizen. J

Persistent efforts have been made in
this territory to Islander Captain Max.
Luna, of Troop F, Colonel Rooseyelt's
regiment of volunteers. He has been
slandered by men who should have been
his defenders. Since landing in Cuba
Captain Luna has been constantly at
the head of his company, has participat-
ed in two hard fought battles, and he
and his company have been right at the
front of the American line of battle.
Captain Luna deserves great credit for
his patriotism and bravery, and else
where in this paper it may be seen that
he has received the unqualified com
mendation of Brigadier General Wood.
The Citizen helped Captain Luna to
enlist his gallant troop in this city and
is proud of the heroic deeds of the cap
tain in Cuba, and will give 500 reward
for information that will lead to the dis
of the person OF persons who
have put in circulation the ISLANDERS con-
corning Captain Luna.

Some time ago a colored man hung
out a sign on his house which read,
For Sail"
He happened to be at the gate when a
white man came along and said:
you'll never get an offer for your
house with any such spelling as that"
The owner of the place was greatly
puzzled to improve the photography,
but finally took his wife's advice and
made it read, For Sell"
This seemed to be all right for a day
or two, and then a schoolboy halted and
said:
"If you don't fix that sign, all the
children will be laughing at you"
There was another convention of the
family to see where the mistake came
in, and the sign was made to read, eur

1t had not been up an hour when an
old colored man came along and queried:
"Does you mean dat dis place am fur

A New Era in Cuba.

The order that has been issued to the
Cubans by General Shafter, that the
residents of the surrendered country,
and particularly the Spaniards. must
not be molested and the insurgents must
abandon their guerrilla warfare in the
territory under the control of the Unit
ed States, opens a new era for Cuba.
For years past the island has been har-
assed by wandering bands of rowing,
irregular armed men who, between the
masters they served, destroyed the plan
t%ations, burned homes and murdered
the inhabitants Unfortunately. Life
nor property were safe and cultivated
fields became again a part of the primal
wilderness. The unfortunate people
were forced to flee to the g%arrisOned
cities and towns to save their lives, only
to become the victims of starvation.
Resulting from a policy of extermina-
ton the city of Santiago is today filled
with beggars and for some time to come
the United States will have to furnish
thousands with food. But that condi-
ton is only temporary. So soon as it
becomes positively known that the
dangers of fire and murder have been
removed by the invading army, the
former farmers will return to their
lands and begin again to make homes
for themselves and families. restore the
fields to their old time productive state
and will soon be self-supporting. Assured
that never again so long as this gov
eminent has control of the eastern part
of the island will it be necessary to flee
for their lives, the people will take cour
age and make advancement in material
wealth never dreamed of in Cuba. Nor
is that all. The wonderful productive
ness of the soil, the diversified products
and the opportunities for investment
will attract American settlers and
American capital, land will be taken
up, industries opened and the pos
sibilities of the province of Santiago
de Cuba will be developed to such an
extent that poverty in its abject forms
will be banished forever. So fast as
other parts of the island are surren-
dered, like conditions will obtain in
them.
The city of Santiago has been under
the control of the United States only
one week, but in that time the change
for the better which has been wrought
has satisfied the residents that the ban
ishment Of the Spaniards has been a
blessing. Merchants confidently pre-
dict better business, physicians expect
better health among the people and the
coming of peace and quiet has brought
a sense Of security never before known
in the city. The wise measures adopted
for the comfort and safety of all the in
habitants by the American commanders
will do more to compel the surrend-
er and evacuation of the island than
months OF fighting. The Spanish SOL
diers are Starving and discouraged; the
Cubans and their sympathizers will
carry the news of the conduct of the
Americans toward prisoners into the
fortified towns, and there will be no such
desperate resistance offered to the ad-
n of the invading army as there
was before Santiago.
