DEATH OF LORD
PAUNCEF0TE
The British Ambassador Succumbsd Early This
Morning 10 an Attack Of Heart
Disease.
PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY
A Consultation Of Physicians Was Held But They Could
Not Stay the Hand OF Death-Pauncefote Was the
Dean Of the Diplomatic Corps at
Washington

Washington, May 24.--Lord Paunce.
fote, the British ambassador, died this
morning at $50 o'clock. About O'Clock
he suddenly developed very weakened
heart condition, and consultation OF
physicians was called. They were un-
able to rally him and he died peaceful
ly, not having regained consciousness
from the sleep he fell into during the
night.
The Right Hon. Lord Pauncefote of
Preston, first ambassador to the United
States and dean of the diplomatic
corps in Washington was born at Mu-
Mich, Bavaria, "A years ago. and was
the issue Of one Of the most ancient
British families. Educated as law
yer, his governmental service began at
and after much valuable colonial ex-
perience, he came to Washington in
1889, first as minister and afterwards as
first ambassador. His service here has
been one unbroken record of successful
diplomacy. The Bering Sea negotia-
tions are among his earliest works of
Importance. The arbitration treaty ne
gotiated with Secretary Olney was a
forerunner of the great work accom-
plished at The Hague. Then came a
number of reciprocity treaties The
task which Lord Pauncefote regarded
as his greatest accomplishment Of his
busy life was the framing of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty recently ratified.
The cause of death was asthma and
rheumatic gout from which he suffered
all through the past winter.
All through the past winter Lord
Pauncefote had been a sufferer from
intermittent attacks Of asthma and
rheumatic gout. In April came another
severe attack and from that time until
death the ambassador has been con-
fined almost continuously to his bed.

QUESTIONS ABOUT NEW MEXICO.
Some Are PuzzIers But They Are Answered By the
Bureau Of tmmIgration.

The queries which the Bureau of I'm
migration answers every day are many
varied and strange. Twenty to thirty
letters are received daily and some of
them, like the one which follows. writ
ten by apparently intelligent men. dis
close the absolute lack of information
which exists In many parts Of the east
regarding New Mexico, it's resources
and it's present status. The following
letter comes from New York and was
answered explicitly as are all letters.
hut the questions asked are certainly
puzzlers:
New York, April 10, 1902.
Bureau Of INN gration OF New Mexico.
| Santa Fe, New Mexico.
| Dear Sir I take the liberty to address
YOU in a matter of Importance to me.
and would kindly ask you for an early
reply.
II is my intention to settle on farm
ing land in New Mexico, and not being
familiar with the country, I thought 1t
advisable to ask you for information on
several points.
1. How many acres of land are allot-
ted to one person?
2. Is the land suited for agriculture at
Tucumcari, Guadalupe county?
3. Is the climate healthy?
4. Is it left to the settler to select his
land?
| S. Is the railroad crossing through?
Would the government advance
funds for travelling expenses and agri-
cultural implements to an able and ex-
perienced farmer?
7, Is there any opportunity to work
for the railroad now being built? Qn
accordance with information received,
there is plenty of work at good payo
8. Is food, such as meat or groceries,
to be purchased at reasonable prices?
| g. How far is 1t to the nearest city
where products can be sold and supplies
purchased?
10, Is the land at present rocky or is
1t woodland?
II. Is there sufficient lumber around
for building purposes?
Trusting that you will favor me with
your kind and soon reply, ! thank you
| in advance, and beg to remain,
The personal answers to letters re-
ceived and the sending Of printed lit
erature to persons who have become IN
terested in New Mexico, undoubtedly
bring many new and desirable settlers
to the territory.
