Three New Mexicans who we're officers
Of the Rough Rider regiment have been
given commissions in the volunteer
army for servicein in the Philippines. They
are Lieutenant Dame, Captain Luna and
Lieutenant Coleman.
Lieut.. w. e. Dame. Of Cerrillos, who is
made a captain, enlisted in Troop b
Rough Riders, as a sergeant, and for
heroism at San Juan bill was promoted
to a lieutenant. Capt. Dame has repre-
sented Santa Fe county in the territorial
legislature, and in 1885, was the gold
democrat candidate for congress in this
territory
Maximiliano Luna, who ia made y frst
lieutenant, is known to nearly every per-
son in New Mexico. In addition to his
splendid record az the captain Of Troop
+, Rough Riders he has been sheriff OF
Valencia county and speaker of the lower
house Of the New Mexico legislature.
Lieut.. Sherrard Coleman, another Of
the first lieutenants, has the reputation
Of being one Of the most popular as well
as one OF the NEST efficient officers who
went through the Cuban campaign with
the Rough Riders, he being lieutenant
In Captain Muller's troop. He is a!
present employed in the surveyor gen
erals Office
The Albuquerque Citizen properly
says that the administration is Ger
tainly deserving Of great credit for the
impartiality exercised in the selection
Of these officers. Dame is golC
democrat, so no one can honestly charge
that politics or favoritism had any thing
to do with the appointments.

that at any time prior to the morn
ing of the 10th, if the hackers Of
the wheel want to postpone the
match to a later date, he will give
his consent, conditional that they
post an additional 500 on the race
against a like amount Of his own.
There is little likelihood that this
arrangement will be made, as the

willingness on Mr.. Cillespie's part

the result, published last week, was
far from complete, but the trouble
is there are some who seem to look
on both sides of the case with equal
favor. Our friend Jake Ross of
Flora Vista, on the contrary,
handed out an opinion without any
fuss. He says he don't know of no
reason why ne shouldn't be sur
prised if the horse doesn't happen
to win, and he isn't any too sure
but what it mightn not do it. His
meaning may not be clear, but pos
sibly that is the way he intended it.
