The Fall Of SANTIAGO.

The surrender of Santiago de Cuba by
the Spaniards yesterday was a brilliant
close of a brilliant campaign against the
land forces of Spain. From the moment
the American troops landed at Baiqueri
the advance on the objective point. the
city of Santiago, has not stopped. Posi-
ton after position has been taken from
the enemy and occupied; concealed bat
teries, superior numbers and heavy ar
tillery have all proved inadequate to stay
the fall of the city. The task has been
difficult, but it was accomplished, and,
from appearances, the war with Spain
is practically at an end. That monarchy
will doubtless attempt to maintain a
semblance of hostilities in the vain hope
of securing aid from some of the Euro
pean powers. but the hard fighting is
over, and the appearance of a strong
American fleet off the coast of Spain
will bring peace negotiations in a short
time. In another way, the surrender of
the city comes at an opp0rtune time.
The rainy season in Cuba has set in,
yellow fever has broken out in the
American army, and were the invading
forces compelled to remain in the
trenches reeking with disease and flood
ed with filthy water, the death rate
would become something terrible. But

City, Deming and Lordsburg are placed
on the tax roll. The assessor has been
in the habit of putting on the roll the
lots that were returned to him, and
those that had been on the rolls the
previous years, and paying 10 attention
to the other lots. OF course some of the
other lots belong to the towns in trust
for the school funds, but there are a
large number of lots in each town that
are not assessed, simply because their
owners do not return them. If a person
wants to buy one of these lots he will
find it held at a fancy figure. 1t is easy
to hold property when you do not have
to pay taXes The assessor says he has
not the time to hunt up the books in
the recorders office to find out who
owns each lot, but some folks who know
how well the assessor is paid for the
little work he does do think otherwise,
and say they can see no objection to the
assessors putting all town lots on the
tax roll, and if he does not know the
owner to assess them to unknown own

School Lands for New Mexico.

The act of congress donating public
lands to the territory for school and
university purposes, and for the estab-
lishment of permanent reservoirs in the
improvement of the Rio Grande river,
was approved by the president and be-
came a law on the 21st of June last. In
the act it was provided that all these
grants of land should be selected by the
governor, solicitor general and surveyor
general of the territory acting as a
commission under the direction of the
| secretary of the interior. Immediately
| upon the passage of the act and before
it was approved, the commission realiz-
ing the necessity for prompt action be-
| fore the desirable lands were taken up,
| addressed a letter to the secretary of the
interior asking for instructions, informa-
ton, etc, as to their method of organ
ization and procedure under the act.
To this he replied, stating that the COM
missioner of the general land Office had
been directed by him to take appropriate
action in the matter, and on the 9th of
| July the commissioner wrote that sin
structions will at a very early date be
prepared for the guidance of the local
| officers of the several land districts,
| when you the commission) will at once
be advised in the premises" This was
under date of July 5. In the meantime
| the commission has written to Senator
Elkins asking him to see the secretary
| of the interior and represent the neces-
sity for immediate action. which he
wrote he would do. From all this it
| seems that the commission named in the
act has done everything possible to make
it available, and that any delay in carry.
ing it into effect is caused in the genera.
land office at Washington. 1t is to be
hoped that the office will take the neces-
sary action very promptly as the desir-
able lands in the territory are being
taken up very rapidly, and unless the
selections for school purposes are made
before long, the liberal grant by con
gress will prove of very little practical
hanaGt
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1898-07-15

the object of the expedition has been ac-
compIished. Ceryera's fleet has been
destroyed, and the Spanish garrison
captured and disarmed. Nothing now
prevents bringing the United States
troops back to this country and quar-
tering them in northern ATTITUDES until
they have recovered their health, are
thoroughly recuperated, and the rains
have ceased. Then, if it is necessary to
again invade Cuba or occupy Puerto
Rico, the dangers from disease will no
longer exist and the men will be in a
condition to rush matters.
The situation in the Philippines is
also gratifying. Admiral Dewey is be-
ing rapidly REINFORCED by the arrival of
ships and men, the foreign ships no
longer show an aggressive attitude, and
the day when Manila will fall is not far
distant. The taking of Manila will end
SPANS control of the islands, and this
government will then have time to take
a breathing spell.
The capitulation of Santiago and the
surrender of the Spanish forces in the
province of Santiago de Cuba will have
a greater effect upon the Spanish gov
eminent. and on the whole of Europe
for that matter, than a three months
campaign of marching and counter
marching and skirmishing. 1t was the
third great and decisive victory of the
val which has been accomplished with
in less than two months, and the old
saying, Third times the charm" will
undoubtedly be verified.

new MEXICO FARMING NOTES

The corn crop at Anthony will be i'm
mense.
The wheat coming in at Socorro is of
a superior quality.
New Mexico has no competitor in the
fine quality of wheat.
Threshing of wheat in Socorro county
is proceeding nicely and new wheat is
being sold.
A good stock range is certain for
the coming fall and winter in south
Santa Fee county.
The grape crop was partially ruined
and the alfalfa crop badly injured by a
hail storm at Anthony.
A ten-inch limb from a 3-year-old
Missouri Pippin taken from r. f, Bar
nett's orchard near Roswell contained
25 apples.
Pennington has been visited by album
dant showers. These have proved ad-
vantageous to the farmers in that Vi
entity.
A celery specialist at Roswell is set
ting out his plants in rows four feet
apart, four inches between the plants.
He has 25 acres in celery.
The crops in the vicinity of Rincon
promise to be heavy. The Cooks Peak,
Florida and Mutt districts we're blessed
with a fine rain during the past week.
The recent rains have been a blessing
in Colfax county. The earth was need
ing the rains for the maturity of crops
and the proper development Of the grass
on the ranges.
A beet pillow said to be so arranged
that by the movement of a lever, a knife
can be instantly regulated to cut the
beets at any desired height is a late in
vention. If it stands a practical test it
will probably revolutionize sugar beet
culture.
Manager Cutler, of the Beet Sugar com
pany at Lehi, Utah, after whiting the
sugar beet fields in the neighborhood of
Eddy, expressed himself more than
pleased with the prospects. Mr.. Cutler
says that even in Europe, where sugar
beets have been long and extensively
cultivated, the crops will not be larger
or better.
