MUST BE ENFORCED.
Gov. 0tero Instructs District Attor-
ney That Law Must be 0beyed.
GOVERNORS LETTER.

Considerable public interest having
been aroused and many inquiries hav-
ing been made concerning the action
of Governor Otero in answer to the pc
tition of the business men of Santa Fe
concerning the enforcement of the
Sunday law throughout the territory,
and II being understood that District
Attorney T.. G.. Abbott had received
certain instructions regarding this
matter from the governor and upon
representing to the district attorney
that it was a matter of great public in
terest, Mr.. Abbott consented to the
publication in the New Mexican of the
letter in question, which is as follows:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
Hon. E. C.. Abbott, Santa Fe, N. M.
Santa Fe, N. M. Feb. "a. 1902.
Dear Sir: There has been petition
presented to me signed by nearly all
the business men in the city of Santa
Fe calling my attention to the fact
that Section 4-6S. Compiled Laws of
1897, commonly known as the Sunday
law is not and has not been for num-
ber of years past enforced except in
the First judicial district; that the en-
forcement of this law, especially in the
city of Santa Fe. works a hardship
upon the business interests of said
city. especially when the same is not
carried into effect in neighboring
towns. and kasing me to take official
notice of this state of affairs and see
that the law is enforced in every
county in the territory in the same
manner that it is in Santa Fe. AS you
know, this section has been construct
ed by the supreme court to prohibit the
selling of liquor on Sunday.
You as well as | have taken an obli-
CATION that we will uphold the laws of
the territory, and so long as they are
upon the statute books, they must be
enforced in all parts of the territory
alike. You are especially charged with
the duty of looking to the enforcement
of this law under Section 1874, Com
piled Laws of 1897. and prosecuting
violators of the same. | am aware
that public sentiment in regard to the
wisdom of this law varies in different
communities in the territory. but that
can not affect your duty, and | shall
expect you to perform the same and
make report TO me direct of the result
of your efforts. | inclose copy of petit
| tion herein. Respectfully yours,
MIGUEL "a. OTERO,
GOVaruor of Naw MaNico

A HUGE STRIKE.
Ten Thousand Freight Handlers of
Boston Refuse to Work.

Boston, March 10.-Strike of freight
handlers in this city which threatens
to involve TO- 900 men, was begun early
today The Team Drivers union, en-
bracing about 5000 men, led off and
other unions followed. The strike
grows out of the Brine Transportation
company's trouble with a teamster
which began several weeks ago, but
was precipitated by the refusal on Sat
urday by members of the Freight
Handlers unions to take care of mer-
chandise carted by non-union team
sters employed by the Brine company.
In view of the threatening aspect of
the strike, the state board of arbitra-
tion today placed itself in touch with
all concerned. The members of the
board were not without hope that the
opposing parties could be brought to-
gether, although the strike had come
in spite of the fact the grievances of
the union have been before the board
in various forms during the past three
months. Two propositions from the
striking freight handlers were pre-
sented to the New York, New Haven K
Hartford railroad this forenoon, but
were rejected.

GALLUP MINES.
Coal Outlook lust Now Not the
Brightest.
GIBSON WON'T CLOSE.

Special to The Citizen.
Gallup, N. NJ, March 10.-Although
the coal outlook at Gallup at present is
not very bright, the merchants are not
doing much complaining. The Catalpa
mine has closed and the hundred or
more miners with their families have
been shipped to Colorado. The store
closed and moved into Gallup and only
one watchman in possession.
Rumors are rife that the Gibson mine
will be ordered closed until fall, and
that the Weaver mine will work on
half time. If the Gibson don't close in
definitely the present force will be
greatly reduced and certain contem-
plated improvements put in, such as a
new hoist and other machinery. Mine
Inspector Sheridan is here and he says
the Gibson don't close indefinitely.
The Gibson will not close, but will
work on short time. He reports fire
in the Gibson about 1000 feet from the
surface. But claims that no serious
trouble will result therefrom. The
Santa Fe Pacific have cut all orders
for coal west of Seligman, from which
point oil engines are used. The Clark
vile mine is working full time. Big
snow last night and it is still showing.

HARDEST BLOW.
Beers Play Havoc With
the British.
General Methuen is Held a
Prisoner.
Brooklyn Postmaster Did Not Violate
Civil Service Law.
FAMILY WIPED OUT.

London, March 10.-General Methuen
and four guns have been captured by
General DeLary. Methuen was wound
ed in the thigh. Three British officers
and thirty-eight men were killed, five
British officers and seventy-two men
were wounded, and one British officer
and 200 men are missing.
The fight occurred before dawn on
March Z, between Wynburg and Lich-
enburg. Orange River colony. The
British force numbered 1900. The
Beers captured all the British baggage.
General Methuen is retained as pris-
oner
The text of Lord Kitchener's dis
patch announcing the capture of Gen
eral Methuen is as follows
- Pretoria, March 81 greatly regret
to have to send you bad news of
Methuen. He was moving with 900
mounted men under Major Paris, and
300 infantry with four guns and POM
pom, from Wynburg to Lychtenburg,'
and was to meet Grenfell, with 1900
mounted men. at Rovirainesfontein to-
day. Yesterday morning early, he was
attacked by DeLarey's force, between
Two-Boch and Palmieteknill. The
Beers charged on three sides. Five
hundred and fifty men have come in at
Maribogs and Kraaipan They were
pursued by the Beers four miles, from
the scene of action. They report that
Methuen and Paris with the guns, bag
gage. etc., were captured by the Beers.
Methuen, when last seen, was a pris-
: oner. ] have no details of casualties
and suggest delaying publication until
/ can send definite news. l think this
sudden revival of activity on tho part
of DeLarey is to draw off the troops
pressing DeWet."
In a second dispatch dated Sunday,
Kitchener says:
Paris has come in at Kraaipan with
the remainder of our men. He reports
that the column was moving in two
parties. One, with the OK wagons, left
Two-Bosch at 8 a. m. The other, with
the mule wagons, started an hour
later. Just before dawn the Beers at
tackled. Before reinforcements could
reach them the rear guard broke. In
the meantime large number of Beers
galloped up on both fianks. These, at
first, were checked by the flank par
ties, but panic and stampede of the
mules had began and all mule wagons.
with a terrible mixture of mounted
men, rushed past the OK wagons. All
efforts to check them were unavailing.
Major Paris collected forty men and
occupied a position mile in front of
the OK wagons which were then halted.
After gallant but useless defense, the
enemy rushed into the OK wagons and
Methuen was wounded in the thigh.
Paris, being wounded, surrendered at
10 a. m. Methuen is still in the Boer
camp"
Then follows the number of casual
ties, already cabled The killed in
clude Lieutenants G. r. Venning and
II. p. w. Nesham, of the Royal artil-
lery. AS Lord Kitchener announced
that Major Paris surrendered and also
telegraphed that he reached Kraaipan
with the remainder of the men, it may
be inferred that the Beers subsequent
ly released the major and his COM
panions.

Grated in the west.
The confession gives a detailed ac-
count of the encounter witn the Spikes

John Dick Spikes were killed and
Fred Spikes seriously wounded. On
the day following the gang fired about
twenty shots at two members of a
citizens posse who were trailing the
gang up. but both men escaped by
lodging behind rocks. These men
were Frank Freelan and Alex Street,

up at Fort Sumner is a most thrilling
one, the prisoner going into every de-

City Of Philadelphia.
BISHOP SPAULDlNG DEAD.

Washington, March 10.-Secretary
Long today handed his resignation as
secretary of the navy to the president
to take effect May /.
There is every reason to believe that
Congressman w. III. Moody, of Massa-
chusetts, will be Secretary Longs sue
cessor. though the announcement was
made, from a reliable source. that the
president had considered another name
in connection with the vacancy. The
portfolio was rendered Ma Moody and
he accepted.
Secretary Longs letter follows:
My Dear Mr.. President:
You will accept this as my resigna-
ton from the secretaryship of the
navy, to take effect the first day of
May next, or sooner of course, if you
shall at any time so wish. 1t has been
to me delightful service. l leave the
official circle of your cabinet in which
my association with you and it's men,
bers has been so happy. with a high
appreciation of your administration
and with the most cordial good wishes
for its success and for you person
ally"
The presidents reply:
Ny Dear Mr.. Secretary:
IL lS Will very siuCeIe TesTtt dC-
cept your resignation. | shall always
count it a privilege not only to have
served with you during the last six
months, but to have served under you
at the outset of President McKinley's
administration. l have seen you in
both relations, and it has never been
my good fortune to have been asso-
ciated with any public man more sim
ole minded in his devotion tO D,lblic in
terest. Our relations have been not
merely official. but also those of per
sonal friendship. May all the good
fortune you so richly deserve attend
you wherever you may GO"
When Secretary Long entered the
cabinet originally, he was an active
member of the firm of Hemingway &
Long, a we'll known legal firm in Bos-
ton. He has always maintained ST.
lent connection with the concern and
will again become an active partner.

Back for Horses.

Ben Bennett arrived in town Sat urday from the Tana, with some dogs. The Tana is tributary of the Chittyna across the divide from Golconda. He did not come out by way of the Bremner. SD does not know how things are looking in that country. MT. Bennett says that little prospecting has been done in the section where his camp Is situated, but says that he has great faith in that country.
 Coming out, MT. Bennett follow ed the Hanagita trail to Taral. where he crossed the Copper and struck an Indian trail running across low divide to the head of Bernard creek and down that stream to the Tonsina, which it strikes at the bridge where the government trail crosses the river. This trail is great short cut be- tween Tonsina and Taral, as one can make the trip between the two places in one day. while by the river trail it takes about four days. He will return soon with horses for the seasons prospecting.
