ROOSEVELT MEN
THROUGHOUT
Reported that President Will Have
His Own Personal Administration
After March Fourth.

A recent dispatch from Washington
says:
1t has been definitely learned that
Immediately upon the Inauguration of
President Roosevelt on March 4 next
there will be a new deal all around"
in the matter of office-holding. Mr..
Roosevelt purposes to have a distinct
and unencumbered Roosevelt admins
tration," and will have none but
Roosevelt men" in his official family
at home and abroad. AS a result there
will be a tumultuous scramble for
places, probably exceeding the rush
made upon Mr.. Mckinley when the Re-
publicans gained power after the Cleve-
land administration.
Very few of the old Mckinley ap-
pointees are to be retained. This is not
due to any feeling against Mckinley
men, but because Roosevelt wants his
own men in office. Therefore, he will
WELD the ak up and down the official
line, from cabinet down to consular po-
sitions of minor Importance.

Doublin, Nov. 28. The western
counties of Ireland, despite the official
efforts to minimize the news, are for
the first time in decades on the eve of

potato crop, the chief staple of the
country, is a complete failure, and the
peat, which has been dry for years and
good source of revenue for the peo'
ple. is useless owing to the rains.
It is the worst situation known there
in these counties since 1879, which pre-
pared the way for the Land League.

Fleet Arrives.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-The war
office here has received word of a ter
rife assault by the army of General
Nogi on the main works of Port Arthur
Saturday afternoon. The information
comes from Che Foo and the message
adds that the Japanese were repulsed
with enormous losses. The news has
not as yet been confirmed but it is fully
believed by the officials of the War Of
fee. 1t is known that the japanese had
been ordered to take the main fortifica-
tions at all hazards and all st. Peters
burg is rejoicing over the report of the
crushing defeat administered to the Mi
kado's forces. A report from the be-
leaguered fortress is eagerly awaited
by the officials.
Russians Are Confident.
Berlin, Nov. 28-A dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from Mukden, under
yesterdays date, says: "It is believed
about army headquarters here that the
Japanese will make extraordinary ef-
forts to win a land victory before the
arrival of the Russian second Pacific
squadron. Movements of the fleet are
reported in each issue of the Army Ca
zette This paper is circulated through
out the army and is the only medium
of news from the outer world. AS soon
as it appears, privates gather in groups
while one who can do so reads the
whole paper, the others listening. The
soldiers are convinced that the arrival
of the Pacific squadron will end the
war, as they believe the Japanese will
be beaten on the sea and then seek
peace. Severe measures have been
taken against marauders. Twelve Cos
sacks of one regiment were sentenced
to death. One was shot in front OF the
brigade while the sentence of the re-
naming eleven was commuted to pc
nal servitude. The discipline is gener.
ally good.

$500,000 which she could negotiate any

was made to me-" said Carver, that
the securities held for the trust fund
would soon be released and that in a
short time all obligations would be
paid. Later I went to Cleveland
where held a conference with Rey'

The community was greatly shtfk-
ed and grieved when early yesterday
morning the fearful news of the assas-
sination of Colonel J. F1anco Chaves,
superintendent of public instruction
and member-elect of the legislative
council from Valer cia and Torrance
Counties, was flashed over the wires
and was given out. The awful deed
was unexpected and so black and cow
ardly in details that citizens generally
were greatly aroused and nothing was
talked of all day except the greWsome
particulars and the desire expressed by
all alike that no possible efforts should
or must be spared to bring the inhuman
wretches who perpetrated the murder
and that as speedily as possible, to we'll
deserved and combined punishment.
The particulars of the awful crime are
about as follows:
Colonel J. Franco Chaves went to
Pinos Wells Saturday afternoon with
Louis Trauer, the sheep and wool deal
er of Albuquerque, and after transact
ing some business went to the home
of Juan Dios de Salas, in the rear OF
the post office, for supper. Mr.. Trauer
remained in the store of Mr.. Salas talk
ing with several ranchmen. Seated at
the table with Colonel Chaves were Mr..
Salas and Donaciano Chaves, the mail
carrier. The Colonel was seated few
feet from and alongside of the window
when the shot was fired. He raised
himself out of his chair, took two steps
toward the window, and fell dead with
bullet piercing his lungs just over
the heart and passing out OF the body
under the right arm and imbeddlng IL
self several inches in the wall. The
bullet did not even shatter the window
glass, only making small hole in the
pane.
The others at the table were too daz.
ed for few moments to take any steps
toward pursuing the assassin and there
was sufficient time for escape. On IN.
vestigation, however, tracks OF one
man were found leading from the win
dow. The bullet is supposed to have
been fired from large caliber smoke
