A letter, dated Santiago de Cuba, on
July 6, has been received by Deputy
Postmaster H. s. Kaune. The epistle,
which is written on a scrap out of a
memorandum book which was found in
an old house by the writer, is from Cap
tain Fred Muller, of Troop E, 1st U. S.

Muller tells how the victory was won.
He says further that the troops have
often to go without food, because they
leave the provisions behind them when
they go into battle and when they return
the Cubans have stolen everything in
sight. Troop E has had a very hard
time of it, but is standing the hardships
and privations well.

LLEWELLYN'S LETTER.

Santiago's Fight.


Governor Otero on yesterday received
a letter from Captain w. H. Fl. Lew
ellyn, of Troop G, 1st u. 5. volunteer
cavalry. The letter is not dated, but
was evidently written after the battle
of La Quasina, which occurred June "a,
and just before the desperate charge
made up San Juan heights, on July q
1t is as follows:

east, and in plain sight of Santiago de

fight and ran the beggars out of their
strongly fortified position. l tell you
it was Il hot time. Hafner, from Gal

killed. The others in my troop who
| were shot were from other states. Our
wounded are doing well and are all back
at Juragua.
This is a beautiful mountain country;
| fine as silk, and the scenery is simply
grand.
All the New Mexico boys are well and
anxious to give the fellows another
whirl. We feel pretty big, since 16
troops of General Young's brigade num-
bering 900 men. ran off 1000 Spaniards

we all feel fine as fiddlers. Our troubles
will be over soon. Will be killed,

Thomas H. sargent's Untimely Death

Thomas H. Sargent's Untimely Death.
The following account of the death of
Mr.. Thomas H.. Sargent, which occurred
on July ID, has been received from his
home at Ell Rito:
Mr.. Sargent attended the celebration
at Chamita on the 18th and the next
morning left that place for home, going
alone. 1t is supposed that when within
about seven miles of Ell Rito a storm
came up, and the horse he was riding
became frightened at the lighting or
rain and became manageable, jumping
over a bank more than 20 feet high. In
the fall Mr.. Sargent's neck was broken,
his chest crushed in, and several other
injuries received; the horse was also
killed. The body remained at the foot
of the bluff from the 14th to the 18th. His
absence caused no uneasiness for the
reason that on leaving home for Cha
mita he stated that he would probably
visit Santa Fe before returning. On
Sunday the body was discovered by
some people living about a mile distant,
and taken to Ell Rito. The scene of the
accident was some little way from the
public road and the corpse lay in a
position where it could not be seen by
persons on the road.
The dece Used was a son of Mrs.
Maggie Sargent, and was born in
Wisconsin on November 10, 1871. In
1878 he came to New Mexico with his
mother and three brothers settling at
Ell Rito. He was a nephew of Hon. T.
d. Burns and John H. Burns, two prom
inent citizens of New Mexico, living
at TERRA Amarillo. For some years
past he had been engaged with his
brothers in a mercantile, cattle and
sheep business. Mr.. Sargent was one
of the most popular young men in the
territory, and in his death New Mexico
loses n of her substantial, generous
hearted, upright citizens.

sleeve, against the board of county COM
missioners of Santa Fe county, for the
recovery of money alleged to be due the
plaintiffs on contract, were closed Wed
nesday night before Judge McFie. and
the case taken under advisement,
This cause dates back to 1887. when
VIM. II. Coler, Jr., and others, brought
suit against Santa Fe county to compel
the payment of the interest on certain
bonds and coupons, amounting to $780,
900. On September II, 1887. the board
of county commissioners entered into a
contract with Thomas Smith, N. B.
Laughlin and G. H. Gildersleeve TO de-
fend the county in the suit, agreeing to
pay them the sum of $4,000 for their
services. Six thousand dollars of the
amount was paid them in county war
rants, but the county having been
beaten in the District and Territorial
Supreme court, the county commission
ers, rather than to incur any more ex-
pense in taking the case to the higher
court, settled the matter by a compro-
mise with Coler, ct al. The balance Of
the money stipulated In the contract
was eve paid to the attorneys, and no
demand was ever made for it until the
Bateman law took effect, then the
plaintiffs began action to recover $14,-
600 and interest on that amount at 6
per cent from 1891.
In presenting their case, the plaintiffs
INT roI,,ooI q, oy;lo,oo Tho oo,o -
tered into with the county commission
erS and established the fact that q bal
ance of $14, 900 was still due. The de-
Tense claimed that at the time the con-
tract was made, Marshall A. Breeder was
the district attorney, and the legislature
having provided the county with an at
torney, the board of commissioners had
no authority to engage other counsel,
therefore the contract was null and
void. 1t was also shown that at the
time the contract was made Santa Fe
county was in debt to the mount of
$4S3, 600; at the time the last assessment
was made before entering into the con-
tract, the assessed valuation of the
county was Sc, 500, 900; the contract was
void because it was made in c%ontraven-
ton of the act of congress which limited
the amount to which a municipality in
the territory could become indebted, or
incur Indebtedness, that limit being 4
per cent of the assessed valuation of the
property in the county. including the
existing Indebtedness.
Judge McFie has taken the case under
advisement and will his deci-
sion in due time. The plaintiffs in the
suit were represented by Judge Laughlin
and G. H. Gildersleeve; Hon. C. A.
