ing that Colonel McCord is the recipient
of a telegram from Washington advis.
| ing him that this regiment will not be
mustered out. The ultimate destina
ton is said to be the Philippines. where
garrison duty will be performed, thus
discharging the specific duty for which
the regiment was recruited.
After being advised of the plans for
the future, 40 members of the Albu-
querque company signed petition di-
rected to Secretary Alger praying for
their discharges OH the ground that
they did not enlist for the purpose of
doing garrison duty, and that their
families, gardens and other truck at
home were not being properly looked
after by the neighbors. In considera-
ton of their foresight, Captain Borra-
daile read his command that portion of
the articles of war relative to insubSrd-
nation and requested the designations
of all non-commissioned officers who
signed the petition. The disgruntled
volunteers now think of writing Presi-
dent Mckinley a personal letter de-
manding the removal of Albuquerque to
some point not far distant from the
post. Failing in this, they will implore
General Weyler's typewriter to defer
SPANS defeat until their term of enlist
ment expires.
A farmer, who resides IA short dis
tancc from Prescott. requests the New |
MEXICAN to ''gye their Santa Fe felers
the devil for stealing chickens" and !
adds. Il wouldn't care so much. but
they took all my fancy bred chickens
and left the scrubs.
His reasonable request should be com
piled with. No one is needed to kindle
fires in the Office at this season of the
wear, and the New MEXICAN can doubt
less spare its devil until cold weather
sets in. A change in ownership and
pasturage might improve the temper of
the devil and not seriously impair his
future.
But the farmer is doubtless in error
about the identity of the thieves for
the members of Company c, to il man,
Indignantly deny the imputation-witk
straight faces, too. The chickens con-
'umed by the boys were probably let
'ut on shares to them by the Ladies Aid
society of Tesuque.
