Las Vegas May AIsD Take Hand In the
Location of the Capitals.


Among those who have signed the
El Paso statehood call, setting forth
that "We want from ten to twenty
delegates to be sent here from each OF
the counties in New Mexico and
Texas etc are Messrs. J. S. Reynolds
and Felix Martinez, of Las Vegas, both
of whom have large business interests
in Ell Paso. The problem presented is
a momentous and complicated one, and
the promoters of the scheme viii meet
formidable opposition in every direc-
tion. As was recently shown by the
Bridgers' resolution, the Texas politi-
clans are unit against the idea of
dividing Texas, and doubtless they will
be as strongly backed by the New Mex
ican politicians of the sections left out
of the new deal. In addition to these
opponents, are the preponderant senti-
ment Of Texas people against division
and the jealousies that will be felt by
inhabitants over the location of the
capital but let the G ,ntest come. At the
proper time, when this capital scrap
comes ons Las Vegas will be in the race
and will be in to the finish.
The Eel Paso convention should be to
form two new states. Nothing else
goes in this section. II our brethren to
the south think of making state In
the south leaving Territory to the
north they will get left. If they want
to unite for the creation Of two new
states, northern New Mexico will meet
them half way and discuss. Go on
with the convention at Ell Paso,~ and
then adjourn to meet at Las Vegas

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Regarding

Dewey is breaking down aud cannot

health, as far as IT could be gauged
from his Appearance, appears about The
same as it has been for The past year,
yet the officials ap res that the private

fact. 1t is not denied by naval officers
that the admiral
HAS AGED IN APPEARANCE
notably during the past year. Dewey
will be sixty-two years old next
DecemUer, and for many years he
has not been strong mahi Mean
time he has had most severe exacllng
duties. 1t is said by prrsnns familiar
with The Philippfne climate that the
second year is hardest to bear for
caucasian. Dewey will soon begin his
second year there. In addition, he
labors under the drawback Of having
mndergonr a severe surgical operation
for the relief of his liver A man
needs sound liver iD the Philippines
of all places. These facts lead naval
officers to believe the rtperts Of D-wey
