has charge OF the enlistment at this
place, has not as yet signilied the loca-
tion Of his Office. The lieutenant is now
at Santa Fe, where Re has opened head
quarters In the old armory building on
the Fort Marcy reservation. He is
accompanied by +. A. Hazen and A.
Levenson, enlisted men in the thirty
fourth. He will be in Las Vegas We'd
nesday or Thursday.
Lieutenant Coleman is quoted as say
ing that recruits are arriving on almost
every train at Fort Logan, but the gov
ernment is especially anxious to get as
many recruits from New Mexico as
possible, because many of them are
able to speak Spanish. This will be a
