the island for a distance of 800 miles
from east to west gives the chief cities
of Cuba direct railroad communication

I'VE were given a warm reception,
said Senator Andrews, this morning
THE Roswell people are enthusiastic
over the proposition. The proposed eX
tension will be built. Captain Lee
showed us over the country and it is
as fine a farming country as | even
saw. The soil is fertile and with lit
tie water, will bloom. Ii is a great
fruit country, too. Apples grow large
and have an excellent flavor. | Wis
tied some of the large apple and al
falfa farms and few of the big stock
ranches. The Milne-Bush people have
an exceptionally fine ranch.
Mr.. HGpewell is returning TO Santa

Pardon Granted to Officer Who
Fought a Duel.

Los Alamos, Cal, July 31.-The most
severe earthquake in the history of
this place occurred at 1:2O this morn

lives are known to have been lost.
though there were many narrow es-
capes. In nearly every house windows
were broken. The Presbyterian church
was razed. also the general store Of
w. s. Wickenben, both brick buildings.
The shock seemed to have a spiral mo-
ton. Goods were hurled from shelves
in the stores and no chimney was left
standing. All brick walls were badly
damaged, while frame structures gem
orally escaped serious injury. A drug
store and saloon was flooded with
liquor from broken bottles. There
have been several light shocks since
July 27, but the first this morning ex-
ceeded in violence anything yet exper-
fenced. 1t lasted thirty seconds and
threw people from their beds. Los
Alamos is town of about 900 inhabi-
tants in Santa Barbara county.
+ The people are panic stricken and
many are leaving town. Three dis
tinct shocks were recorded between
7:25 and 1880 this morning and these
iutST disturbances dQueu muCn TO the
terror of the inhabitants. President
Wheeler. of the University of Califor-
mia, advised the people to quit the
town as soon as possible. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate the financial loss with
any accuracy, but it is believed disturb
ances of the last three or tour days
have damaged at least $50 900 worth of
property. No loss of life is reported.
The Western Union Oil company is
the heaviest loser, two of its immense
storage tanks being demolished, re-
leasing thousands of gallons of oil
Shortly before 8 o'clock two more
distinct quakes were felt. Word comes
from Lompoc and Santa Maria, each
distant about twenty miles from Los
Alamos, that the disturbances last
night were but slightly felt in the vi
cinity of those towns, showing this
place was the center of disturbance.
Los Alamos is the center of large
oil producing territory. 1t is situated
in Los Alamos Valley, wheat, olives
and citrus fruits being produced in
abundance.

Ladies and Gentlemen: 1t gives
me great pleasure, and | consider it a
great honor and privilege to introduce
to you your delegate in congress who
has served in the legislative halls at
Washington for the past eight months
Laales and gentlemen, say to you, in
introducing the gentleman who is
present tonight, that he has done his
work as faithfully and honestly as
anyone we could send from the terri
tory of New Mexico. There has
not been a delegate in congress since
the territory of New Mexico was an.
nexed to the United States from the
republic of Mexico that has done SC
much work in so short a time as the
delegate present before you tonight.
delegate present before you tonight.
will not extend my remarks further for
the reason that the delegate is present
here before you. He will explain in
as short time as possible the amount
of work he has accomplished for the
people of New Mexico.
By the efforts of the delegate, fel
low citizens, the territory of New Mex
leo is better KNOWN throughout this
great nation; the people know more OF
the vast resources within its limits
than they have known in the last forty
or fifty years that we have been ter
ritory.
Fellow citizens, | wish to say this
much more, and present the gentleman
to you. that while he has been there
only a short time, the people of New
Mexico and elsewhere appreciate his
services in the congress of the United
States. For that, gentlemen, we are
glad that the people of Albuquerque
his home town, have turned out anC
hOnored his presence, and you have
appreciated and shown that the people
of the territory of New Mexico and the
city OF Albuquerque can do honor to a
man who has done something for theil
benefit. In closing | introduce to you
our delegate in congress, Hon. b. S
4.uuey."
