A special dispatch to the Denver Re-
publican, from Washington, under date
of January .. says:
Though serious charges have been
filed with the senate committee on ter
ritories against Governor Otero, with a
view of defeating ais confirmation in
the senate, only one man, Col. w. NJ.
| Berger, appeared before the committee
this morning to present the charges
verbally. Governor Otero was present
and there appeared in his behalf a
dozen prominent officials of New Mex
in the territory.
Colonel Berger asked for a continu-
ance in presenting his charges. which
included improper and unjust increase
of the tax levy from mills to 17.75
mills, without any corresponding in
crease in benefits, the adoption of spe-
cial legislation increasing the govern
or's own salary and that of certain
state officials, and the adoption of leg
islation with view of building up and
maintaining a machine having for its
object the plundering of the territory.
The governor and his friends denied
the charges in toto anu opposed furth-
utldy Ill Tue case. btIStT
was called upon by the committee to
produce certificates in support of his
charges, but he was unable to do so.
Phe committee at once voted unani-
mously to report the nomination fav-
orably and confirmation will undouot-
edly follow when the senate meets
Monday. The committee also voted
favorably upon nominations of Gov
ernor Ferguson, of Oklahoma; Secre-
tary Reynolds. of New Mexico, and
Secretary Stoddard of Arizona
Governor Otero, speaking today of
,le reported readjustment of the diff
ferences between himself and ex-Dele-
gate Catron. said he had sought no ad-
justment. Overtures were made to
him by those opposing him, but he mad
not accepted them. The Catron oppo-
sition faded out until nothing was left
of it at the hearing today but the vague
charges of Berger. Catron himself left
the city several days ago.
