Mr.. Hawkins Not A Candidate

Hon. W. A. Hawkins, late of Ell Psso.
has informed The Alamogordo News
that he is not candidate for sem
atorial hOnors, neither in New Mexico
nor in Texas. Some newspaper friend
of his, he says, started the ball rolling
purely from motives of good feeling to-
ward him, and Texas newspaper
friend took it up in a spirit of fun,
and real bona-fide senatorial boom
started which caused Mr.. Hawkins
considerable annoyance.

PROSPERITY FOR Ell pASO.

While every man interested in the
general prosperity OF the country reloi-
ces over the existing condition of af-
fairs and ithe great promises for the
flu ture, yet the rejoicing of Ell Pasoaus
must be tempered with regret from the
fact that this city cannot point to large
orders from abroad for its manufac-
lures. The greatest need of the city
is manufacturing plants and the chief
work of the cham Der of commerce will
necessarily be to supply this need.
What Ell fPaso wants is one thing:
what she needs is an entirely different
thing. She wants everything that
contributes to the greatness OF city
she needs-pressingly needs-the first
thing that will aenable her to supply
those wants.
That need is manufactures.

A SIGNIFICANT illustration of the
prosperity of the country is the fact
that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad is
so pushed with traffic that it is obliged
to borrow locomotives from another
road. In consequence of the great in
crease in business enjoyed by this rail
road, which is common, in a greater or
less degree. to the experience of traffic
lines all over the country, the BAlti-
more & Ohio ordered some time ago
sixty-6ve locomotives from the Bald
win Locomotive works. It was big
order, and so busy have the works
been that they have been unable to
turn out the engines as fast as required.
The Great Northern railroad, which
is unusually well equipped with motive
power, has loaned the Baltimore &
Ohio twenty engines until the COM
pany's new locomotives are on the rails.

REPORTED.

The rain and wind storm yesterday one
of the heaviest this city has experienced this

1876 inches, been exceeded. and the wind sew
eral times yesterday equalled in velocity that
any previous day. seventy-two miles an
hour. The rain did the earth in the country a
great deal of good. as it was steady and per
sistent. 1t also added to the available water
supply of the city. The wind while brisk did
not do a great deal of damage. After the rain
ceased It quickly dried the pavements and blew
the clouds from the sky.
The storm broke about 3 or 8 o'clock in the
morning. 1t began in the Gulf of Mexico two
or three days ago as a gentle wave of warm air,
giving little indication of creating an at
mospheric disturbance of any consequence. 1t
crept innocentIy to the coast of Georgia, and
then began to grow. It spread over nearly every
State east of the Mississippi River. giving them
all dash of rain. Its centre had reached North
Carolina yesterday morning when rain began
to fall in this city. The centre then tore up the
coast at sixty mile clip. reaching this city at
about o'clock. when the barometer registered
29.O5. its lowest point in this neighborhood.
The passing of the centre was manifested by
several interesting phenomena. The wind which
had been blowing at a velocity ranging from
forty to seventy-seven miles an hour, dropped
TO about ten miles. and changed from the east
to the southwest. and then TO the northwest.
The temperature began 10 drop. and the wind to
increase in velocity again. AT $40 o'clock it
was whisking along at a speed of nearly seventy
miles an hour The sky quickly cleared under
the influence of the wind, and the moon shOne
out. The wind will probably continue to-day
and tomorrow; gales are promised. The storm
is likely TO trouble incoming vessels. In fact, it
almost completely stopped yesterday the move
ment Of shipping in and out Of the harbor.
Steamers going out anchored in Sandy Hook
Bay and none entered after the early morning
but the Old Dominion liner Jamestown, from
Norfolk which passed in Sandy Hook at 1:15
p. m. There not a sailing vessel in sight ex-
cept the coasting schooner Henry l.. Peckham
which ran in from outside for harbor in Sandy
Hook Bay. The same harbOr also sought
by the tugs Cumberland, towing two barges
and the Tamaqua. towing three barges. which
had found the sea too rough to proceed with
safety along the coast.
Among the steamers which anchored in the
Lower Bay were the HOra, the Katahdin. the

weather will be colder to-day.

HOW THE YOSEMITE SANK.
ABANDONED ONLY AFTER AN HEROIC
STRUGGLE
MEMBERS OF THE CREW TELL OF THE
BATTLE WITH THE STORM
COLONEL HAMS.

BATTLE WITH THE STORM
Manila. Dec. 1.-Two members of the crew OF
the United States auxiliary cruiser Yosemite.
which recently foundered during typhoOn of
the Island of Guam have arrived at Cavite on
board the United States transport Alava. which
left Guam on November % with seventy-fve
marines who had been transferred TO Cavtte
from Guam The names of the two Of the
wrecked vessels are John Barry a carpenter
who was about TO be relieved at the time OF
the disaster. and Henry Colligan, a hospital ap-
prentice who came on board the Alava to attend
some Of the sick marines.
Barry had much to do with rigging UP the
steering gear and in other attempts to save the
Yosemite A boom fifty feet long and foot
thick which was rigged over her stern, snapped
off when attempts were made to steer with IT,
BY the time a stouter arrangement was effected
what was left of the propeller was almost out OF
the water and the steamer was constantly set
ling lower by the head. No progress was pos
sible and all on board thought their last mo-
ments had come. The discipline board was
good.
After the Yosemite had drifted shoreward from
her anchorage she pounded On reef The wind
shifted with extreme suddenness and terrific
fury, ard carried the vessel outward through
such a narrow outlet in the harbor that no
one understood how she got through. 1t was
very dark and thick The spray binding
and the wind threatened to sweep the men into
the water at any moment.
When asked whether there was any criticism
among the upon the officers action in
abandoning the ship. the two men interviewed
replied that practically every man conceded that
all had been done that practicable. and the
abandonment Of the vessel was the only course
left. The official reports asserted that the sea
valves were opened finally to expedite the sink
ing.
Barry and Congan said they knew nothing as
to that point out the attempts of the United
States collier Justin to tow the cruiser were
useless and the YOse mite would inevitably have
sunk The two said they believed there
was son,e difficulty with the pumps IN getting
water out of the forward compartment, but the
hole in the bottom so big that the cruiser
must have sunk. no matter what had been done.
Several marines who were at Agana, Guam,
during the typhOon. said that three-quarters of
the town was under water. and that all the
dwellings, were destroyed excepting those having
tile roofs. The corrugated iron roofs surmOunt-
ing the Government buildings and residences
were for the most part lifted bodily.
The marines waded about and assisted women
/ and children to places Of refuge. The natives.
after their losses. made only feeble efforts to
repair the damage
in the Judgment of naval officers the abandon
rnent Of the Yosemite was the only course feasi-
BILE the feeling being that the Justin might have
stood by longer. but that the result would have
been the same.
