OTERO RAISES PROTEST.
People of New Mexico Oppose Statehood
 With Arizona.


 Washington, Jan. 4.--In his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, Governor otero of the Territory of New Mexico takes a decided position against the uniting of that Territory with Arizona as one State. He says: There is no doubt that the great majority of the people of New Mexico are opposed to joining New Mexico and Arizona into one commonwealth. Ev- en the small percentage who would acquiesce, prefer single or separate Statehood for each territory. This is not due to any innate animosity be- tween the two territories, but to the inherent differences in population. in legislation. In industries, in contour, in ideals and from a historical and ethnological standpoint, not to mention that the consolidation of the common wealths like New Mexico and Arizona into one Is unprecendented in Ameri- can history"

strange Story of the Charmed Life of SarytchoR, Who Had Promised to Sacrifice life For
 His Country.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-(2:30 a. m.)- It seems now to be definitely deter mined that Nlce-Admiral Rojestven- sky's squadron will not attempt at present to reach Vladivostok. The de- cision has been reached that he will await the third Pacific squadron, on which work is proceeding night and day, and several ships which are ex- pected to be ready for service by the end of January.
 It Is by no means certain that Roj- estvensky will return with his ships to European waters; he may await the fthird squadron off the coast of Mad agascar ,and seize and make his base on one Of the uninhabited coral islands of Polynesia
 In view of the reports that the Jap anese intend to invest Vladivostok, General Batiavoff, who has been in terviewed, has expressed the opinion that if Vladivostok should be blockaded Rojestvensky would be compelled to re- turn.
 Port Arthur Incidents.
 Many interesting incidents in connec- ton with Port Arthur heretofore care fully concealed, are now common prop erty. When the protected cruiser Boy arin was lost by going on the rocks, her captain. Sarytchoff, was subjected to considerable criticism. He appealed personally to Emperer Nicholas for mercy. saying that if forgiven he would sacrifice his life for his country
 Thereafter, Captain Sarytchoff volun- teered on every occasion for dangerous duty He commanded the gunboat Gil- iak at Kinchow, and later a shore bat tery at Tigers Tail. Afterward the captain engaged in frequent sorties from the Qualifications, but seemed to bear a charmed life and received not so much as a scratch.
 Emperor Nicholas Is expected to re- turn tomorrow to St. Petersburg. when a council of wal will be held.
