NEW YORK SADDENED BY 1913 BURIALS
One Hundred Bodies Buried In Ceme-
terry Trench-Mnin object of city Is
to Recover Bodies supposed TO
BE StiII In the Vessel.

BE Still In the Vessel.
NEW YORK. June 2G.-The wreck
of the steamer General Slocum is to
be raised by the city for the recovery
IF any bodies that may still be buried
beneath il ana for the obtaining of any
physical evidence thar may throw light
upon the cause of the disaster The
work viii begin at once, and ii is un-
dcrstood it will be completed in ten
days.
The cost of raising the wreck will
be approximately $4,000, and by May
or AlcClrllan's action Police Commits
sloner McAdoo was authorized to con-
tract for the work at that price. to be
done by the Merritt & Chapman
Wrccking company.
The insurance underwriters did not
desire 10 eypcnd more than $4,000 for
the purpose, and for that reason ac-
ton was had by the municipal author
tiles. Commissioner McAdOO wrote to
Mayor Mcclellan asking that he be
permitted to take action or that ac-
ton be taken by some department inn
mpdiatclv. The result was that Mayor
Mcclellan authorized the police com.
missioner to undertake the work
In his letter to the mayor Commits
sioner McAdoo said:
There is every evidence TO believe
that some bodies are still imprisoned
in the wreck and that It would be al
most impossible raise 'hum unless
the hull itself is raised and moved
from where it now ia. The district at
torney's Office also advise me that
they feel quite sure that on the hull
being raised they will find physical
/ evidences which will throw light on
/ some Of the causes Of the disaster l
/ have suggested 10 the district attor-
/ ney's office shat we might blow up the
/ hull with dynamite, but those concern
| ed in taking out the bodies fear that
( if this course were adopted the re-
mains might he manglcd beyond recog-
! milton.
"The street commissioner apprises
| me that he can make good use of the
! hull in connection with the improve
ments at Riker's island. Primarily of
course this question of salvage has
nothing whatever to do with the atti-
tude of the city The main object is to
raise the hull in order to recover any
bodies that may be there and to obtain
any physical evidence which may
throw light on the cause Of the dlsas-
ter"
New York was suddcned by 1913 fu-
neral professions yesterday. Most of
the bodies were buried in what is
known as the public part of the Gene
teries. There graves can be had at
small cost. and the great majority of
the families who We're stricken by the
Slocum disaster We're in moderate cir.
cumstuuccs Superintendent Ayenius
had calls for 19S graves, and almost a
hundred bodies were buried in trench
dug to the rear of the trench provided
for the uamelc~s dead from The

dozen ministers who during the day

Col. Theo. w. Heman, of Tucumcari,
Commander of the Department Of New

ter having been in attendance at the

Albuquerque. In speaking of the con-
dition of this department of the G. A.
R., Mr.. Heman said:
"We are constantly increasing the
enrolment of this department Since
May. we have added thirty-eight new
members from New Mexico The reas-
on for this increase is the large num-
Der Of eastern people who are taking
up their residence in the Territory.
.'Inasmuch as most of those who
served from New Mexico in the war
now live in the far away portions of
the Territory, most Of our active mem
bers are comparative strangers to this
country. The natives who did such
noble work during the war of the re-
bellion from New Mexico, are some

Latest Design Has Been
Commenced.

Contractor McHughes has the first
new-style tent cottage at Sunmount

cottages will be models of beauty and
durability and are without exception
the most complete structures that
have been erected for such resorts.
The cottages are designed for win

four-foot wainscoating covering a
space of three feet to the caves, which
have protection Of sixteen inches,
thereby affording ample protection
from moisture during storms, at the

DONA ANA is
FOR ANDREWS
Martin Lehman, Leading Citizen and
Merchant, so Believes-Crop
Conditions.

"There is no doubt but that Dona
Ana County will give Senator Andrews
as large a majority as it has any pre-
vious Republican candidate" was the
reply of Martin Lohman, of Las Cru
ces, to a question from a New Mexi-
can representative, regarding cam
paign prospects in his county.
i. "Of course, many desired Mr.. Rodey
returned to congress, but now since
Senator Andrews has received the
nomination of his party we will work
just as hard for him as we would have
done for Rodey. You will remember
that the vote of the Dona Ana County
delegation at the convention was six
for Andrews and two for Rodey. When
our county convention was held we
did not know of any other candidate
for the nomination than Rodey and
two of us did not feel warranted, un.
der the conditions, in supporting Sen
ator Andrews. It is possible that our
entire delegation would haverbeen in
structed for Senator Andrews if we
had known that he was a candidate,
but this is, Of course, dif1cult to ascer-
tain.
II am not we'll acquainted with con-
ditions in our county since the NOM
nations, as | have been continuously
in Santa Fe attending the Board OF
Equalization, but from reports have
received, things are going smoothly
and the Democrats will not even have
look-in.' Many state that Delegate
Rodey supporters will now support
Money. This is foolishness. The nom
inee of the Republican Convention can
count on my support for one and |
know many who will do the same"
Mr.. Lohman was asked regarding
the chances of the construction OF
diversion dam under the reclamation
act, at Las Cruces. "From present
indications" he answered, I'VE should
have some definite Information on this
subject inside Of two weeks. The gov
ernment engineers should finish with
the surveying by the end Of the week
and then allowing two weeks for ONCE
work in preparing reports. we should
receive the answer from
the government. This dam would give
q permanent head to the Las Cruces
ditch and would save great deal of
money which has in the past been
spent on repairs. It would also give
us an Increased and better supply Of
water, the muddy water being run on
through q sluice."
"How about the effeSts Of the drouth,
Mr.. Lohman?" Il am sorry to say"
he replied, that Dona Ana County has
practically raised no grain this year
because Of the scarcity OF water. We

AWAITING
JAPANESE ATTACK
Mikado's Troops Are Advancing and
Another Big Battle is imminent
Outpost Fighting Has Begun and
Skirmishes are Quite Frequent.

A Mukden dispatch today says the
Japanese are reported to be advancing
on both the Russian flanks and that
skirmishing is continuous. The same
dispatch says the Russians are occu-
pying the surrounding villages and
that battle near Mukden is immi-

adheres to the belief that no serious
engagement is close at hand and says
only outpost affairs are reported. Mar
shal Oyama reports to Toxic that the
Russian cavalry is daily scouting
southwark.
Russia Expects Powers to Interfere.
st. Petersburg, Sept. important
developments regarding China's atti-

There are rumors of closer relations
between China and Japan, of possi-
bility of Japan turning Port Arthur
over to China when captured, of res
toration of Manchuria to China, etc.
There is general belief that negotia-
tions are going on behind the scenes
of which the world is not cognizant.
Russia expects the war to take on
different phase, as Chinese neutrality
vanishes, which the powers in their
agreement to preserve neutrality can
not ignore. Russia believes, however,
that China's interference cannot be to
the disadvantage of Russia
