Chief Engineers.
AB0 PASS FAVORED.

f. NJ. Jones, chief engineer of the
Santa Fe surveying corps, doing work
on the proposed Santa Fe cut on,
stopped off between trains this morn
ing while en- route from Belen to his
home at Las Vegas. MIR. Jones is re-
turning from a two weeks trip by

survey over AbO Pass to Belen. His
missien was To investigate the timber
and water resources of the country

of fine water at different places along
the route and that an abundance of
coed tie timber can be found in the
ManZano mountains.

Reports of the California Earthquake
Damage were Overcrawn.

Lompoc, Cal, Aug. 1.-The clost Sc
we're earthquake shock here since
Sunday night, occurred shortly after 7
O'Clock last night. While the populace
Is in state of extreme anxiety and
considerable damage has been done in
various localities, it is the impression
of the Associated Press correspondent
on the scene that the reports from Los
Aamos have been overdrawn. A great
deal of damage actually done must un-
questionably be attributed to faulty
masonry and the unftness of struct-
ures to Withstand even the slightest
earthquake. Since the initial shock on
Sunday last, vibrations have continued
with unaDated vigor at close intervals.
There is no panic here yet. Heavy
landsldes are reported from the noun
tains north of here, with no damage
done beyond the closing of two roads.

all visitors.
After receiving the official notifica-

General Smith retired to his cabin

breaking down under the severe strain
to which he has been subjected in the
recent months. His sealed orders re-
quire him to report to the adjutant
general at Washington and it is likely
he will lose no time in starting east
Repeated efforts made during the
day to induce General Smith to discuss
his campaign in the Philippines and
the court martial which followed as a
sequel to his work, failed entirely. He
even declined to take up the subject
with intimate friends. The transport
