LITTLE HEARD At WASHINGTON
Brief Dispatches Received From PER-,
and McCrea,

Washington, Nov. 27.-A cablegram
was received at the navy department
from Commander McCrea of the Ma
chlas, at Colon, announcing that the
Colombian government gunboat Pin
zon, which left Colon for the east
Monday, had returned.
A brief dispatch was also received
from Captain Perry of the Iowa, now
at Panama. The captain simply
stated that he was in communication
with Commander Delano of the gun
boat Marietta, stationed on the Colon
side of the isthmus, which fact leads
the authorities to believe that tele-
graphic connection between the two
places continues uninterrupted.

TIE NEW MEXICO CONTEST.
Governor Otero Here to Press His
Claims Before the President

Governor OterO, Of New Mexico, was at
the White House today in company with
Solomon Luna, the Republican National
Committeeman of the Territory. They are
here in the interests of the Governors s
candidacy for re-apDointment. but were
unable to see the President today on ae-
count Of Mrs. 8IcKinIey's Illness
Governor Otero's term Of Office expires
within a short time and considerable op-
position has been aroused in the Terri
tory TO his denomination.
1t is said that numerous charges have
been made by mis- political enemies and
sent to Washington, in the hope that the
President may reject his application for
reappointment-
It IS alleged that he has been instrument
tai in inducing the Territorial Legislature
to make large and unwarranted appro-
priations. which has made necessary the
doubling of the tax rate. and that there
have been frauds in the matter of deal
ing with the Territorial lands In addi-
tion to these accusations Governor Otero's
alleged misconduct while a minor officer
of the State has been revived for political
purposes
George Otero declares that the charges
made against him are false and made with
malice by his political enemies in New
Mexico. He says he is fully prepared to
answer the allegations, and as his conduct
of Office IS understood to have been salts
factory to the President IL Is thought that
the charge will be ignored and that he
VIII be renOminated-
Governor Otero stands well with the
Administration and is said to have the
support Of the leading men of the Terri
tory Mr.. Luna, the National Committee
man. who accompanies him IS q member
of one of the oldest families Of New Mex

TRACTION BONDS IN DEMAND.
Heavy Purchases ANA Higher Prices
On the Local Exchange


There was strong demand for the
Washington Traction and Electric bonds
on the local Stock Exchange today. and
the price advanced sharply, more than a
point The purchases were said to be
nearly all for New York account and the
inference in the street is that the same
party is buying that has made the exten-
sive purchases every day since the com
pany defaultcd on the interest last week
President Young. of the United States
Mortgage and Trust Company, the chair
man of the reorganization committee, is
said TO be very friendly to the bonds and
it is rumored that h. and his friends are
buying them He IS understood to have
said a day OF two ago that he considered
the present price not too high, in view of
the earnings of the company ard the out
look under reorganization.
There were no developments at the Of
fec OF the receiver of the company THIS
morning and in New York nothing was
given out by the reorganization commit
tee. 1t was said by a director OF the com
pany yesterday that the reorgaufzat ton
plan Is likely to require several months
for its development.
The fact seems fairly well deveEopeI
! that u large portion of the stock of the
company has been acquired recently by
new interests These interests are thus
supposed 10 be in control OF the company
! Their position, however, must he second
, to that of the bondhoIders as long as the
company is in default on its interest pay
ment on the bonds. The supposition that
there is a difference of opiaiou between
this new stockhoIdinS interest and the
controlling interest of the bondhoidsrs is
said by those in authority to be without
foundation.

Terry Dorticos. through his attorney,
II r Webb. Of this city. placed in the
hands Of ex-senator Chandler. Chairman Il
Of the Commission. 4 claim against Spain
for over half a million dollars. The pa
pers allege that the Spanish Government

BRISTOL X. I, June 5.-The Ameri-

towed into this harbor at o'clock this
morning by her tender. the steamer
Mount Morris. a crippled sembIance of
her graceful self. The water was as
smooth as glass and the two boats
came slowly up from Newport like a
funeral procession and dropped anchor
off the Herreshoff works
\ derrick Hoat vas at once towed out
to the damaged yacht and the work Of
clearing away the mass Of rigging and
sails on her deck began. The great
weight Of the steel boom on the after
deck brought the boat weH down by the
stern. The gaf hung suspended over
the edge Of the deck on the port side
while the bUckIed mainmast looked like
an inverted V The stub Of the broken
topmast proUuded a foot from the
masthead, but did not reach within
three feet OF the deck
The spinnakar boom was put off the
deck into the water and fioated to the
stern Of the Mount Morris, where it
was tied and LEFT to float. The crew
then unlaced the mainsau from the
gaf and main boom and the gaff was
lifted and placed on the float alongside
the yacht The sails were then rolled
up out Of the way on deck and all
hands devoted their energies to unsl.ng-
ing the nlainboom and laying it On
deck
The steam deTIIok tug Archer IS ex-
Pected here this afternoon to lift out
the mast As soon as the boom had
been UnslLng, the broken end Of the
mast was carried forward and lasked
to the standing portion Of the spar on
the port side. The work is being pushed
with great vigor under the personal
supervision Of Capt Nat Hereshoff and
the dead calm which prevails greatly
facilitates operations.
It is estimated that the mainmast can
be made as good as new in less than
week, and il is thought that there IS
no other damage except the topmast.

There are now pending on the United

Owing to the large number Of causes

done and the court make them special the
