Wholesale Denial of Rumors.
ST. Petersburg, May 11-No news was
received from the seat of war confirm
atory of the many rumors of heavy
fighting which are drifting in from
abroad, mostly through Japanese sour
ces. There were violent thunder storms
in Siberia last night and the telegraph
is working badly today. Upon several
points, however specific information
Is vOuchsafed. The idea that the Rus
sian squadron at Port Arthur is being
destroyed to prevent it's falling into the
hands OF the enemy is secuted at the
admiralty. The general staff is without
information regarding the reported
death of General Zassalitch but de-
clares it is not creditable. The Rus
sian force at New Chwang is withdraw
ing but the place is still held according
to the latest adyices. When the evacu-
alton is completed, China will probably
be invited to send troops to New
Chwang to protect the foreign inhabi
tants from the brigands

FUNNY AT TIMES.
Applications for Copies of the New

Applications for Copies of the New
Mexican-One in Point.
The New Mexican receives on an av-
erage of half dozen requests daily for
sample copies of its several editions
the Daily New Mexican, the Weekly
New Mexican Review and Ell Nuevo
Mexcano, from people all over the
country. Some of these applications
are unique and others funny. The fol-
lowing was received from Haskill, Col
orado, today:
please send me some English speak
ing paper, what is printed in Santa
Fe."
There is another thing attached to
these applications and that is that the
people who want the papers almost in
variably forget to send money to pay
for them. This is not so funny to the
publishers, as it is well established
fact that even in this great Territory
with its magnificent climate-a little
dry at PRESENT. costs money to pub
lish newspaper.

It Brings Enforced Idieness to Many
Men in Aiamogordo and Vicinity
Coal Mines May Reduce Force.
Owing to lack of demand for lum-
Der, over 60 men have been discharg-
ed at the lumber mills at Alamogordo
In addition over go men employed in
the mountains cutting timber as well
as a train crew were laid off indefinite
ly. The night shift has been discon-
tinued and the day shift reduced. Gen
eral Manager S. S. Hopper says that
where the Alamogordo Lumber Com
pany was selling train loads of lum-
ber last year at this time, it is at pres
ent selling only carload lots and that
at So below the normal price The tie
preserving plant has also closed down
and Traversy's mill in Cox Canon has
suspended its entire force. Resump-
tion of work is not expected until fall
at the earliest. The Ell Paso & North
eastern Railway Company is piling up
coal along its right of way for lack of
demand for the coal mined at Dawson
and at Captain. At Alamogordo so
cars have been stored thus far. The
reason given it that the G. H. Railway
Company is no longer taking coal.

FOREST FIRES IN
THE SACRAMENTOS
Extensive Destruction Of Timber Due
to the Drouth and Difficulty Of
Extinguishing Flames.

The forest fires in the Sacramento
Mountains have not yet been checked.
Henry ketchum's house in Cox Canon
near the Smith mill, with it's contents
was totally destroyed last week. The
fire started from the railroad and has
spread over a territory covering 95
square miles and is still burning. The
country is so dry and the winds have
been so high that the destruction to
timber has been very extensive and it
is almost impossible to check the
flames.

IMPROVING ITS PUBLIC
SCHOOL SYSTEM
There is No Manana Policy on That
Subject in the Duke City and
Four New Buildings Will
Be Erected,

Albuquerque realizes the Importance
of having four more modern ward
school buildings in readiness for the
school children by the time that the
fall term commences. This is the more
significant, because Albuquerque al
ready possesses superb public school
buildings. The money for the recent
bond issue has not been received thus
far and yet the board of education has
already advertised for bids for the con-
templated new buildings in the four
wards, the plans Of Architect Cristy
being accepted with few alterations.
It is thus that Albuquerque keeps at
the head of the procession among New
Mexico cities.

Mayor Gibson so Assured BY
Managers of Company.

A. r. Gibson, who has been in New
York City for the last ten days on i'm
portant business, some of which may
! turn out beneficial to this city, has
sent the New Mexican a letter which
is of public interest and is therefore
given in these columns. The matter is
of the increase of the present water
supply of this city in which question
Mayor Gibson as well as every other
property owner in the Capital, is great
ly interested. The information there
in is quite satisfactory and reads:
New York, May 6, 1904.
"To the Editor of New Mexican:
81 have today h,i conference with
Messrs. Street & Company, owners and
operators OF the Santa Fe Water and
Light Company, relative to increasing
our water supply | was advised that
they would begin active operations at
once in the way of ascertaining what
can be done to augment the present
supply. An engineer will be on the
ground within few days, making
such examinations and arriving at such
conclusions as will be beneficial to our
city.
'Mr. Street gave me positive assur-
ance that the supply would be increas-
ed, but just how he was of course, un-
able to state He fully realizes the in
adequate amount of water available at
this time, and stated that the company
would leave nothing undone to give
Santa Fe better service.
Yours very truly,

The New Mexican is of the opinion
that the present management of the
Santa Fe Water and Light Company is
ready and willing to do what it can to
increase the capacity and efficiency of
its water and electric light system in
this city and will do everything in it's
power towards the advancement and |
progress of the town Street, Wickes |
& Company, the present managers of
