NEW MEXICO'S HISTORIC CELEBRATN
Santa Fe, the Oldest City in the United
States-I Interesting Historical Points.

wv
A significant celebration will occur at
Chamita, a little station on the Rio
Grande road. thirty-five miles from
Santa Fe on Wednesday, July IS. 1t
will commemorate the first location by
white men within the present borders of
New Mexico, and the second within the
borders of the United States. st.
Augustine was founded in 1865. That
is, the Spaniards built a fort there and
subsequently abandoned it. While the
claim may be put forth that it is the
Oldest settled point in the United States,
that claim must be modified by the fact
that the settlement was not continuous.
Cortez conquered Mexico in 1890 and
from his forces and Spanish settlers in
Mexico came the expeditions up the
valley of the Rio Grande. There are
traditions that these expeditions reached
the locality of Santa Fe as early as 1881.
The best authorities now would seem to
place the date at 1898, a settlement be-
ing made on the exact spot where this
celebration will take place. Six wears
later, or in 1904, the municipal records
of Santa Fe begin. These settlements
have been continued. The assertion is

Fe is the Oldest continuously inhabited
city in the United States. These dates
are very suggestive. The pilgrims did
not land at Plymouth rock until 1920,
or 22 years after the settlement at
Chamita, or 16 years after the organiza-
ton of the municipality of Santa Fe.
Among the prominent persons at this
celebration will be Governor OterO of
New Mexico and Governor Adams of
Colorado, Ex-Governor Prince of New
Mexico and Judge Wilbur F. Stone of
the United States land court. All of
them are well versed in the romantic
history Of New Mexico. particularly ex-
Governor Prince and Judge Stone. The
event is one unsurpassed In historic
interest, and will doubtless attract wide
spread attention.

weather and crops of all kinds growing
nicely. The first crop of alfalfa now
being cut, and is an average yield.
Good rains in the mountains, and rivers
are high. Stock is fat but the ranges
need rain. There is some complaint of
apples falling on account of the cold
nights. Cherries are ripe; the fruit is
large and fine but the yield medium.
Prospects for a better market for all
kinds of fruit this season.

How General BIanco Does II.

General Blanco's typewriter is still
working, despite the blockade and cable
cuttings, and Madrid is still blythe of
heart and free and easy of spirit. The
Spanish ministry and the people in Ma
drid, Tin the provinces they say, this is a
Madrid war; take a great deal of stock
in the captain generals report.
This is the way it is done:
A commander Of a Spanish fort tele-
graphs the captain general as follows:
Fort attacked. Terrible bombardment
lasted one hour ten minutes. Fortified
tions destroyed, all our guns dismantled
and unfit for use. Loss seven officers
and ITO men. Our guns replied gallant
ly until dismantled. American loss I'M
known. No American ship struck.
Enemy's squadron consisted of one bat
tleship, two cruisers, one monitor and
four gun boats"
AS o o as the captain general re-
ceives this dispatch, he calls his pretty
typewriter girl and dictates the follow
ing dispatch to Madrid: ''Enemy's fleet
consisting of 1T warships, all heavily
armored battleships, cruisers and mont
tors, made a desperate attack on our
Notifications at San Juan de (any old
thing of a name does well.) lombard
ment lasted five hours. Our skilled and
courageous gunners replied with admir-
able GOODNESS, courage and precision. En-
emy's feet was compelled to retire in
great confusion with a loss of IA ships
sunk, Is blown up and nine disabled, SO
that they had to be fired. 1t is report
ed, enemy lost 271 officers killed and
wounded; 2,001 sailors killed and 9,OO3
seriously wounded. AS there were no
ships of our gallant and fearless navy
in the vicinity, the victory could not be
followed up. Loss on u side: One
lance corporal and three gunners killed,
n bugler and three marines slightly
wounded, one mule injured. Forti-
fications in better shape than prior
to attack. Again has the unbound
ed honor and eternal fame of the
Spanish flag been Thoroughly indicated
and the world renowned skill, abil-
ity, %gallantry, technique and esprit de
corps of SPANS officers and soldiers
shine with renewed and greater luster.
Another great and glorious victory is
added to the ever green and never
perishing laurels of our illustrious army.
l have decorated and congratulated the
gallant defenders of our honor. Viva
la Reina Regente. Viva Ramon Blanco.
Viva Alfonso XIII. Victoria, victoria,
victoria.
(Signed) "RAMoN BLANCO,
Captain General"
AS soon as this gets to Madrid there
is intense and great rejoicing. An extra
bull fight is put on, notes are imme-
diately sent to the concert of European
powers announcing this great victory.
Captain General Blanco receives an
other decoration, and all is well that
ends well.
