The New Mexican is in receipt of a
| copy of The Freedom of Manila, dated
| February II, from Musician Dan Schle-
| Finger, of the 18th infantry. The Free.
dom is a tri-weekly publication, of six
columns folio size, printed in plea and

| subscription price is VA per year in gold.
The staff consists of Don c. w. Musser;
editor: G. II. Fuller, business manager,
and w. w. Fegen, city editor. The i'm
| preston has a long patriotic leader on
the anniversary Of the sinking of the
Maine, interesting articles on the various
regimental commands. and news para
graphs from all over the United States,
as we'll as from Manila and local island
points. There is no danger of there be-
ing a lack of newspaper enterprise
wherever Americans are found.
New Mexico Rough Riders will be in
terested in knowing that something is
being done to perpetuate the memory OF
Theodore w. Miller, of Troop X, list
volunteer cavalry, who was fatally
wounded at San Juan hill. Miller was
a Yale '97 graduate, and a private in X
troop, commanded at first by Captain

Kane on Jenkins promotion to a majori-
ty. Members of Trooper Miller's class
| at Yale have raised $1,000 with which

Der. Miller came from Akron, O., was
a brother of Mrs. Thomas A. Edison,
was a substitute on the Yale university
crew and football eleven, and coached
two freshmen elevenS,
A naval veteran named Sutherland,
who was on the WinslOw when Ensign
Bagley was killed, and was injured by
the same splinters that hit him, is in
town for a short time. Sutherland's
spine was so badly hurt hat silver
plate bracing was necessary, and which
has made him able to work for a liv-
ing. He is a steeple painter N repair
er. He says he was trying to ecure a
tall chimney on the Antler's hotel at
Colorado Springs after the fire, and the
chimney collapsed with him. The fall
did not seriously affect him.
At the Republican ward meetings to
be held tomorrow afternoon and even
ing care should be taken to place in
nomination as candidates for council
men and members of the school board
men who will take a pride in admins
tering public affairs carefully and for
the benefit of the residents and taxpay-
ers of the city. The city must have good
government, and it requires good men
to give such an administration.
1t is imperative that in the future
Santa Fe should have a careful admin
~istration of city affairs, and the Repub-
leans will make the greatest mistake
in the history of the party if the candi-
dates nominated for the offices of may
or. clerk and treasurer are not taken
from among the best business men in
the city. 1t is thought no mistake of
the kind will be made.
A sea gull in this part of the country
is a great rarity. Consequently, the
shooting of one at Aqua Fria this morn
ing by Flaviano Lopez aroused a deal
of curiosity as the bird was brought in
to this city. 1t is not known as one was
ever seen in Santa Fe before. There are
a great many at the salt lakes in west
ern Texas, and Great Salt Lake in Utah
is thick with them, and it is supposed
that this odd specimen, a stray from
west Texas, was on a trip to the Pacific.
All the candidates nominated by the
Republicans to fill city offices must be
well-known citizens, capable and hon
est, and those who will take a deep in
terest in looking after the city's bust
ness and the conduct of the public
schools.
The Democratic city committee were
meeting this afternoon in General Eas-
ley's office as The New Mexican was
going to press, to arrange for calling
city ward meetings and a convention to
nominate municipal officers.
