''It is the irony OF fate.'' said Mr. Harry
II. Pierce of New Mexico to a reporter
for The Times yesterday, that the first
volunteer army officer to get killed in the
first engagement between American SOL
diers and the Spaniards in which volunteers
were engaged should be the only officer
so far commissioned whose native tongue
was Spanish. He was Macmillan Luna
OF Valencia County, New Mexico. whose
father was a delegate in Congress from
that Territory some fifteen years ago.
Max Luna was one of the best known
of the younger New Mexicans, and while
but twenty-eight years of age, had acquired
a prominence in the Territory which bade
fair TO make him national character IN
the Immediate future had he lived TO full
fill the promise of his early manhood AL
ready he was prominent in the politics
of the Territory, having filled several i'm
portant offices.
when the now famous Rough Riders
were being organized. Max Luna set
about collecting troop of New Mexican
cowmen and range riders noted for their
dash and daring, and was given com
mand of the troop.
HE was a brave and impetuous man,
yet fully qualified to lead, and when the
detailed story of the fight at Baiquiri is
written. il viii be learned, l have no
doubt, that Max Lunas troop was in the
thickest of the fray and he fell at the
very front.
Nothing else could be conceived by
the New Mexicans, of both races. who
knew and admired the brave young fell
low, and many of whom will feel that
his untimely taking off is a personal be-
reavement.'

East to enter here. II the "boys in
