The good farmer, the one who

TERRA Amarillo until some time Sun,

rangement made by Hampe's attorneys
will be perfectly satisfactory to him.
He will be sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
When interviewed last Thursday ev-

Mexican, Hampe stated several times
that if he was convicted he wanted his
interviewer to call again as he wanted
to make statement. Whether or not
he will make that statement under the
existing circumstances remains to be
seen. but if he had a confession to
make it is hardly probably that he will
do so now as that would jeopardise his
chances of ever obtaining a pardon in
after years.

BAGGED GOOD GAME.
Captain Pershing Killed Nine Dattos and One
Sultan on His Campaign.

Manila, May 11.-Captain Pershing
and his column have returned to camp
Wears, Mindanao, from the expedition
through the country east of Lake La
mao. The column experienced no oppo-
sition after the fighting at Taraca. The
prisoners captured at Taraca took the
cath of allegiance to the United States
and were released. Among the Morros
killed in Taraca forts were nine dattos
and one Sultan. The moral effect OF
this fight will be far-reaching and 1t is
doubtful if there will be any further
hostility in the Lake Lanao country.
The ladrones' situation seems to have
improved materially. In Albay prov
ince it is still unsatisfactory, but the
other districts which recently have
been disturbed are quieter.
.Straggling Moros attacked the rear
guard of Captain Pershing's column
near Bacolod, Island of Mindanao, Sat
urday morning, wounding Lieutenant
Rutegles and one soldier. The guard
killed all the attackers.

SANITARIUM PROPOSED.
A Chicago Physician is Considering Building
One Near SunmOunt.

Charles Wuster, master mechanic oil
the Regan Printing Company of Chi
cago, will depart for the Windy City
Wednesday, after an extended sojourn
in Santa Fe. He has been afflicted with
catarrh of the lungs, throat and head
and was advised by a Chicago physician
last winter that he could not get well
He later consulted another physician
who advised him to come to Santa Fe
which he did just two months ago. He
is now o well man and is loud in his
praise of the excellent climate OF Santa
Fe.
The physician who sent Mr.. Wuste1
to Santa Fe is thinking very strongly
of erecting a sanitarum in this city.
Mr. Wuster has been prospecting lit
tie for the man to whom in addition to
Santa Fes climate, he gives credit for
the fact that he is alive and will report
thoroughly to his physician on return
ing to Chicago on conditions here. The
physician, for reasons of his own does
not wish to have his name used in con-
nection with the enterprise for the pre-
sent, has a number of parties interest
ed who will be willing to put their
money into it, the only delay being that
pending the return to Chicago of Mr..
Wuster. 1t is needless to state that his
report will be favorable.
Mr.. Wuster says that he will return
to Santa Fe next spring and that he
will probably send his wife and two
daughters to this city shortly to spend
about two months in this delightful cli-
mate. The proposed location of the
new sanitarium is on the property of
J. NJ. Nagle, near the Sunmount addi-
ton.
