The Damage.


1t is impossible to estimate in dol
lars the damage done by the floods
throughout the Rocky Mountain Re-
gion. 1t must be measured by mil
lions. A million and a half dollars
damage for New Mexico alone Is a
small estimate.
All the country through which the
following streams run and every vii
lage or town or city near their banks
in New Mexico suffered severely:
Rio Grande, Rio Pecos, Canadian,
Cimmaron, Red River, Rio Gallinas,
Rio Mora, Rio Sapello, Rio Santa Fe,
Rio Rayado. indeed there is not a
stream within the borders of the ter.

FOR BETTER FACILITIES. .
The Postmaster General Will Recon-
mend Purchase of Sites for Buildings.

In the annual report of the Postmaster
General the attention of Congress will be
called to the lack of facilities for the proper
handling Of the mails In this city and New
York, and the national body will be asked
to correct these discrepancies by appropri-
atoms for the purchase of building sites and
the erection of suitable buildings thereon
for the use Of the Post Office Department.
In Washington the Office is much In need
of more room, and Congress Will be asked
to appropriate sum sufficient for the pur-
chase of the block Immediately south of the
department building, bounded by B, C, 18th
and 18th streets and for the erection of a
building on the ground for the accommoda-
ton of the many branches of the service in
this city that are at present housed in rent
ed quarters at high rates. The proposition,
If adopted, will effect a considerable saving
In rentals to the government and will at
the same time improve the general service
by the concentration of the work.
Attention will also be called to the recon-
mendations made by the committee, consist
ing of the Postmaster General, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and the Attorney Gen
eral, to the effect that the offer of the Penn
sylvania railroad in New York city should
be accepted. This offer was for site for
a substation in the new terminal station of
the railroad in that city, to take the place
OF station H, now near the Grand Central
station. The other recommendation was

a site Immediately over the underground

BENsoN'S ARREST.
Secretary Hitchcock's Statement Re
garding the Prosecution.

Secretary Hitchcock said last night re-
g3rding the arrest Of John A. Benson in
New York yesterday:
Il have been informed that Benson was
arrested this afternoon on the indictment
he was held in $4,000 bond for hearing on
January IL before the United States COM
mission in New York relative to his return
to the District for trial
THE grand jury took up Benson's case
on Monday. He had been preparing for 1t
for some time. We had him arrested here
on a warrant before the indictment had
been obtained because we were Informed
that he intended to leave the city. That
case now will be dropped, as the Indictment
covers all that ground and much more We
were Informed again this week that Benson
intended to leave New York and hence took
the action we did for the same reason as in
the District arrest. 1t was thought best not
to allow him to get any further away from
us without an Indictment.
Other developments may be expected to
follow rapidly now. We are working on
other indictments and there are a number of
ether arrests to be made.
THE department has wished to keep the
public informed as far as possible of the
progress of the land fraud case from the be-
ginning, but the nature of the case had
made 1t necessary to avoid publicity as to
many of the details. We have been follow
ing Benson and others for almost year
now, since January 8. They have been
aware of the activity of our officers and
have been watching US all the time, both
here and in California, SO that 1t has been
necessary to use more than ordinary pre-
cautions.
1.-The cases are practically complete now.
Arrests and trials are all that remain Of
them. The evidence seems to be irrefutable.

GRAND Jury FINDS
KUMALAE, JOHNSON,
MEH[UlA ANSWtRAblt

UDLIlOLO OlIVuUIutOVI
Solomon Meheula, Enoch Johnson
and Jonah Kumalae are indicted by
the Territorial grand jury for alleged
fraud. as result Of the long drawn
out House Of Representatives "vouch-
ers" investigation.
Meheula, clerk of the House, is in
dieted for gross cheat: Enoch John
son, for gross cheat; and, in one in
dictment, Attorney Enoch johnson
and Representative Jonah Kumalae are
charged with conspiracy in the first
degree.
Events were highly interesting and
moved quickly in Judge Robinson's
court this morning.
1t was generally supposed that the
Territorial grand jury would report to
Judge Robinson at 10 o'clock.
As a matter of fact the grand Jurors
assembled in the corridors of the court
room shortly after o'clock. one or
two arriving at time, the complete
jury being together about $3.50 o'clock.
| A few minutes later Judge Robinson
took the bench and the inQuisition
filed into position to present their par
tial report.
Deputy Attorney General L. c. Pet
J ers asked, at once, that all indictments
be ordered placed on the secret file,
until defendants could be secured.
Five true bills were returned. Be-
sides these indictments there was no
report. The jury asked to be excused
! TO meet again not until Friday next.
Grand jurors were excused, indict-
ments were placed on the secret file
and the court had risen to sit again
on the stroke of 10 o'clock to take up
other matters, when Attorney Enoch
johnson made his appearance in the
court room and held conversation with
Deputy Attorney General Peters.
johnson seemed somewhat confused
and said something about getting ad-
vice" when Peters suggested that he
Johnson, put in an appearance before
lowed to depart on his own recogniz-
ance. johnson left, presumably with
that understanding.
The Indictment against Enoch John
son was then taken from the secret
file.
At 10 o'clock court sat to take up
other matters, holding but brief ses-
sion.
InI arIn ,,t
y p. m, and just as Judge Robinson
was leaving the court room, Clerk o.
the House solomon Meheula was OBJ
served approaching the door. He hat
heard that the grand jury had returned
indictments and Dame Rumor hat
whispered to him that he was also
included. Hence he proceeded to as
certain the reliability of the informa'
ton.
Peters asked Meheula IL he was ready
to be arraigned and, upon Meheula sig
nifying his readiness, Judge Robinson
again took the bench, setting asid,
the order of recess until p. m, ant
Peters read the indictment charging
Meheula with gross cheat.
