GREAT RESPECT FOR DEAD
Rough Riders of Russia Bury Their Comrades with Impressive
 Ceremony.

Wild and rough as are the Cossacks taey are peculiarly sentimental and as susceptible as children to the emotion of the hour, whether it be anger or sym pathy. One of the most striking sights l have ever witnessed. writes a war cor respondent, was the whole of Mistchen- kos division paying its respects to the remains of the four Cossacks who were killed and mutilated below Sin6ee.
 It was some time back, just toward fixed for nine a. m. Mistchenko and all his staff were there and the Fourth Chta regiment. 10 which the men belonged, was accorded the place of prominence in the ceremonies There were no coffins available and the bodies were wrapped in plaited straw. but so smothered with wild flowers and native grasses that it was impossible to see the ghastly blCCd stains soaking through the covering till the corpses were lifted from the stretchers to be placed In the grave.
 The churchly accessories were scanty. An old table had been brought from a deserted Chinese hut and on it was placed an old regimental ikon and be- fore 1t a single bit of wax candle. the nearest approach to a taper that could be had. The priest of the Barnaulski regiment officiated and as he took his place before the table the order Hats of; pray" was passed down the line. Mistchenkc. setting the example. uncov- cred and bowed his head while the men kneit. bareheaded. but each with his carbine between his knees.
 The church accessories may have been poor and simple. but the temple was magnificent. It was Gods own house. q walled-in valley with green hills rising on every side and over all rising a single peak that might have been the spire of this mighty cathedral.
 The service. simple but affecting. was soon over The priest blessed the bodies and the stretchers were raised shoulder high and born up the hill past the massed regiments. the band playing a dead march.
 Mistchenko and his staff folioped on foot like the rest. and after the Cossacks had placed the bodies in the open grave he threw in a handful of earth and each officer and man of the regiment did likewise Then the general shook hands
 with the priest thanking him for his at tendance on the dead. and also shocx hands with and thanked the four Cos sacks who had stood in the grave to re- | ceive the bodies.
 Before the assembly was dismissed Mistchenko briefly addressed the men. warning them under no circumstances to commit any reprisal on the dead or wounded Japs who should fall into their hands And so far as have ever heard this mandate las been obeyed- But before the day was out we had another skirTnish with the Japs and heard that every man cut a cross on his cartridge before firing

Loses Twenty-Five War Vessels in the Straits
OF Korea IN the Worlds Greatest
Naval Battle.
ADMIRAL RO&STvfNSM CAPTURED SEVERELY WOUNDED.
Admiral Togos Success Was Largely Due to the Use d
Torpedo Eoats. Peace Talked Of but Russa's
Purpose Not Yet Known.

The two great fleets of Japan
and Russia which had for weeks
been lowering near each other in
far eastern seas finally met last
Saturday in the straits of Korea.
The battle which followed was
without doubt the greatest naval
battle in the worlds history and
the end was disaster, complete
and overwhelming, for Russia.
The Russian fleet was practically
annihilated, twenty-five vessels
being either sunk or captured.
The only loss to the Japanese
fleet was three torpedo boats.
The following extracts from
press dispatches from London
and Toxic give a good idea of the
battle and its results:
Togo'S vessels maneuvered with
perfect precision. For time
both belligerents gave shot for
shot, but with a hostile squadron
ahead of him, Roiestvensky was
practically defeated in few hours
and was caught in the trap which
had been waiting for him since he
left Madagascar.
RoiestvenSky displayed hesita-
tior in his tactics and this result
ed in The utter confusion of the
Russian fleet. The concentration
of fire reached its zenith at ,
o'clock i'll the afternoon. AS the
Russians advanced in the direc-
tion of Vladivostock, the Japanese
squadron was lying between them
and their destination and the
doomed Russians were battered
on all sides.
The Russians broke in disorder,

REV. FRASER TO REMAIN.
Generosity of People of soeorro En-
ables Presbyterian Church to
Maintain an Independent
CharOa

Rev. +. b. Frasar will remain
in Socorro another year as pastor
of the Presbyterian church. The
following communication will
quiet rumor that became current
in the city a few days ago:
We desire to commend the
generosity of the people of Socor-
TO in subscribing over three hun
dred dollars toward the support
of the pastor of the Presbyterian
church. AS the resident member
ship of the church contains only
eleven adult members, nine of
whom are women, and can
contribute only about one-third of
the amount named, it is evident
that without the help received
from contributing friends they
could not maintain an independent
charge here. This liberality
enables the congregation to
promise the pastor three hundred
dollars; fifty dollars being condi-
toned upon the subscription list
yielding it, which we have no
doubt il will. All other expenses
such as hymnalS, repairs and
improvements on the church,
heating, janitor service, etc,
will have to met otherwise. This
contribution of three hundred
dollars which, together with the
four hundred and twenty dollars
appropriated by the Board of
Home Missions of the Presby-
terian Church, and the donation
by the Ladies Aid Society of
rooms in the manse free of rent,
enables the congregation to
furnish a comfortable support 10
the pastor. who last Sunday an
nounced his intention to remain
for the ensuing year. For this
successful result of our efforts we
are indebted to the we'll known
liberality of the citizens of Socor-
10 and the commendable zeal of
the lady trustees who had the
subscription list in charge.
[Signed] JOHN w. TERRY.
President Board of Trustees.

Secretary.

lost their formation and went
gigzag. The fight lasted until Z
O'Clock. Togo risked nothing and
lost nothing. Darkness brought
a glorious night with smooth
sea. Then under the searchlightS
and the cover of the big guns of
warships, the flotilla of deStroyers
began like locuSts to sting aud
sink the enemy, the Russians
continuing to return the fire.
AT ? o'clock in the morning
the fighting was fierce and
intense, and no rest was allowed
the Russians. With the dawn of
Sunday the japanese fleet came
to still closer range. All day
long the battle continued, the
Russians remaining powerless to
render any effective resistance.
Practically every fighting ship of
the once splendid fleet was either
sunk or captured.
Three japanese torpedo boats
were sunk by Russian fire.
Besides this the Japanese fleet
suffered no damage worth report
ting.
Admiral Rojestvensky was
captured and is suffering from a
slight fracture of the skull and
other wounds.
Rough estimates of Russian
losses, exclusive of nearly 1000
prisoners, very from 1000 to
1000.
1t is thought in some quarters
that this latest Russian disaster
will bring peace, but Russia's
wishes have not yet been made
known.

VETERANS ENTERTAINED.
A Pleasant Feature Of Memorial Day
at the House Of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. j. Leeson.

An enjoyable party was that
which was given in honor of the
old soldiers at the Leeson mansion
on California street on Decora-
tion day. At ? o'clock in the
afternoon the old veterans were
seated in the commodious parlors
of the handsome Lesson home.
The dean of the gathering was
Col. h. w. Eaton. The rest of
the comrades, both of the blue
and the gray, were about ten.
Mesdames Leeson and O'Gara
presided, dispensing bounteous
hospitality with their proverbial
winsome manners. Mrs. O'Gara
with Miss Lorena, her beautiful
little child, took command of vocal
and instrumental music, MASTER
ly and at times pathetically
rendered, so much so that at times
you could almost hear the hearts
of the old veteras humping.
First there were cards, and
you ought TO have seen how some
of the old boys were tickled
when Unexpectedly trumping an
adversary. Then came a dainty
repast of Strawberries, ice cream,
and cake, with the prettiest of
Japanese napkins embroidered
with the national colors. Then
the finest of cigars, and a general
good at home time.
Brother LeesOn deserves eternal
blessedness If ANYBODY does.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.
We're the Most Successful That Have
Been Conducted in socorro
for Many Years.

The Memorial Day exercises
conducted in Socorro Tuesday
were the most elaborate for many
years. Unfortunately for all con-
cerned, Hon. A. A. Freeman
could not reach the city in time
to deliver the address he had
promised. Otherwise the exercises
were conducted very successfully
just as planned.
The exercises were begun in
the plaza with patriotic airs by
San Miguel band. Then followed
the sweet and inspiring strains of
America" sung BY choir of
score of girls. Capt. M. Cooney,
marshal of the day, then introduc-
ed Mayor Aniceto c. Abeytia
and Rev. f. b. Fraser, each of
whom spoke briefly but APP
propriately of Memorial Day
obServances. This part of the
days exercises was concluded
with patriotic song sung
charmingly and we'll by Miss
Estelle Greenwald.
Marshal of the Day NJ. Cooney,
very appropriately uniformed for
the occasion, and his aide, Roman
Armijo, then formed the process
sion to march to the various
cemeteries. The procession con-
sisted of members of the territorial
mounted police in uniform, old
soldiers of the blue and the gray.
San Miguel band, Socorro Hose
Company No. /, a large number
of flower girls, and a long line of
carriages. Appropriate exercises
were conducted at the cemeteries.
also, and the graves of ex-soldiers,
of relatives, and of friends were
strewn with flowers in profusion.
The procession then returned to
the plaza, where the days obser-
vances were concluded with more
patriotic airs by the choir and by
San Miguel band.
The ex-soldjers who were in
line on Memorial Day were Capt.

COUNTY TREASURER'S REPORT.
All Funds in an Excellent Condition.
Prospect for a Long Term
of Court.

The report of County Treas
urer Jose r. Torres given in this
issue of the Chieftain deserves
the careful attention of every
citizen of Socorro county. 1t will
be remembered that after the
election last fall many honest but
misguided democrats predicted,
or at least intimated, that the
county would soon revert to the
bankrupt condition of several
years ago. This latest report of
the county treasurer, however, is
proof conclusive that the mis-
guided democrats aforesaid al.
lowed their political prejudice to
get altogether the better of their
judgment. The condition of the
various funds of the county now
compares very favorably with
that at any time in the last few
years. Especially gratifying is
the amount now on hand in the
court fund, for il will make pos
sible a long term of district court
and the clearing from the docket
of large number of important
civil and criminal cases that have
been awaiting trial for two or
three years. Why the voters
of Socorro county made any mis-
take in changing the political
complexion of the county admins
tration is really not apparent.

There will be 36S delegates in the
convention which assemblies in Elks'
temple tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock. OF these 1t will take 1875
votes to nominate and the anti-Acuff
people declare that Acufr will not
have that many on the first ballot.
On the other hand, c. p. Lund and
the Acuff committee insist that their
candidate will be nominated on the
first ballot.
In only two precincts are there any
strong fights expected this afternoon
and the biggest battle will be in Err
nina precinct.
In Butler precinct there are two
tickets. one mixed ONO and Acuff
ticket and another straight ONO
ticket.
Blomberg for city comptroller and
Wtscomb for city treasurer are look
ed upon as sure winners most of the
strength Of the opposition being
spent in bolstering up the Acuff may

There is still a strong chance of a
dark horse coming up in the conven-
ton tomorrow, owing to the deter
mined opposition to Acuff, and If the
hopes of the Acuff people of securing
the nomination on the first ballot are
destroyed. 1t is believed that his
chances will depreciate so per cent.

Republican primaries this evening
from to o'clock
scattering vote in precincts
which have not yet found IA man to
work fer who will stay in the race
long enough to get his name before
the convention is going to be one of
the biggest features of the scrap to-
day.
The withdrawal OF Mayor Boyd
from the field and his advocacy of
Acuff has stirred up things among
the anti-Acuff men to the point where
they are ready for any deal which
will bring about the defeat of the
Spokesman-Review candidate.
On top of the Boyd withdrawal
came the announcement this after
noon from Under Sheriff w. j. Doust
that he would not allow his name
to go before the convention under any
circumstances.
This left several precincts free to
trade out for any man they see fit
and has taken the interest out of
several of the precinct battles.
With the Withdrawal of Boyd and
Doust, Commissioner Omo's candi-
dacy Is given new boom and the
friends of the commissioner are now
claiming that he will secure the solid
vote of all of the antl-Acufr dele
gates.

POLITE BURGLARS ROB
THE NEWMAN RESIDENCE

In their raid the burglars secured
diamond ring, valued at 1855. A
wedding ring is missing and a sap
phire ring valued at 500.
When the burglars had gone
through every room they started to
leave the house by the front door.
They were still on the porch when
Mrs. Newman appeared suddenly and
faced them.
Immediately one of the burglars
dotted his cap and made inquiries aa
to woman they were seeking.
Mrs. Newman told them what she
knew of the woman and they leisure
ly walked down the steps and went
away
Although she found the front door
open, it was not until Mrs. Newman
went to her bedroom that she dis
covered the robbery.
The burglary was reported to the
police, but the description given was
only that both men were young look
ing.
