NEW MExICO'S FAMOUS BANDIT.
Dpw He Started on His Wild Career Of Crime.
ChicaaO Record.

The most famous bandit ever known on
the Santa Fe trail was Espinosa, Span
lard, who at one time had great wealth and
lived in hacienda on the banks of the Rio
Grande near Santa Fe, like one of the Dukes
of his native country. He claimed descent
from a knight in the army of Cortez. and
the walls of his house were ornamented by
ancestral portraits painted by famous
artists of Spain. He had immense herds OF
sheep and cattle, and upon his Dukedom
ruled over several hundred poems, who re-
garded him as King.
After the American occupation of New
Mexico Espinosa fell into bad company.
The newcomers taught him new games and
played him ,lnfriendly tricks; They tres,
passed upon his hospitality. They invaded
his hacienda, lived in luxury at his expense, &C.
won his money at cards. He lost so much
that he became financially embarrassed,
and was compelled to mortgage his herds,
1t was a great modification to the proud
Spaniard, and when, it was too late he be,
gan to realize that he had been imposed
upon. "

A HUNTING TRIP
IN INDIA.
Devastating in the Satpura
Hills.
By DR.. J. HAMPDEN PORTER

After the rogue's punishment, our party
broke up. Those members returning to
cantonments took back the elephants lent
by depot quartermasters, and Smiths ami,
mails were dispatched to his own head,
quarters. All the soldiers thus departed,
leaving a pair of inveterate tramps behind
them who did not belong anywhere, and
now preferred to drift through the high
lands of Central India with some baggage
ponies and half dozen trackers. Respect
ing these latter, they were the refuse of our
gang: but there was no alternative choice.

CENSORSHIP Is
TOO STRICT
On War Correspondents
at Manila.
Newspaper Correspondents are
Not Allowed to Give News
of the War.

A dozen or more American News
paper correspondents in the Philip
pines, have entered protest 10 Gen.
Otis In regard to censorship excl
cised over them. They framed and
presented statement, to Gen. Otis
given below, which clearly shows
that the whole truth about the war
has not been given out, and that in
reality, the people at home know
very little about it. The statement
of the correspondents is as follows
"Tha undersigned being all staff
correspondents Of American news
papers stationed at Manila, unite
IN the following statement:
1--WE believe that owing to official
dispatches from Manila made public
in Washington, the people of the
United States have not received a
correct impression of the situation
in the Philippines, but that these
dispatches have presented an Ultra
optimistic view that is not shared
by the general officers in the field.
1--WE believe the dispatches incor.
rectly represent the existing condi-
tions among the Ahilippines in re-
spect to oissensions and demoriliza-
tion resulting from the American
campaign. and to the brigand charac-
tel Of their army.
We believe the dispatches err in
the declaration that the situation is
we'll in hand aud in the assumption
that the insuriection can be speed
lily ended without a greatly 'ncreas-
ed force:
y ave think the tenacty of the FIJI
ippipo purpose has been underesti-
mated, and that the state ments are
unfounded that voludteers are will
ing to engage in further service.
The censorship has compelled us
ITO participate in this misrepreseuta-
'tion by exercising or altering uncon
'troverted statements of facts on the
plea, as General Otis stated that
they would alarm the people at
home, or have the people of the
United States by the ears"
