Given at the Opera House Wednes-
day and Thursday by the
Bethany Sisters.

The Oriental play king Chop Suey"
a japanese Extravaganza, was present
ed to an interested and entertained au-
diences at the opera house Wednesday
and Thursday evenings.
The play was novel in conception,
we'll characterized, excellently present
ed. It was, for local talent, an encour-
agement for the future. The houses
were fair ones-though not what the
event deserved.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. D. Smith Of Chicago
assisted the company in preparation
and presentation. Mr.. Smith also en-
tertained the audiences with an excel
lent exhibit of views and local adver-
tisements throwIi upon the curtain
from stereo apparatus.
All the characters were.wellselected
The individual singing was most enter
tanning. The closing selections by Mrs.
Ross were superb. The list is too long
for Individual comment-it suffices to
say that from an entertainment stand
point it was splendid success.

scription account. This will help the

Difficult Point.

Paris, June 21.-The Franco-German
negotiations on the subject Of Morocco

to be over confident that the confer
ence question has been entirely set

Joe Mattel Bound over for Murder
Committed over Four Years Ago
at Sopris.

Trinidad, Colo. June 21.-Withou;
bail, Joe Mattel was held to the dis
trict court by Justice of the Peace
Bowers after he had had his prelimi,
nary examination at o'clock yester,
day afternoon Mattel is charged
with a murder which was committed
over four years ago and the evilence
against him was considered sufficien:
to justify holding him until jury can
decide his fate.
The murder was that of an old Mex
ican sheep herder at Sopris. 1t Is al
legged that the herder, whose name n as
Cruz, was shot down in cold blood by
one of crowd of drunken Italians and
that Mattel was the man who fired the
shot. The affair nearly caused race
war at the time.
Mattel was arrested but was re-
leased for lack of evidence.
He later got into trouble at Pueblo
for the alleged sale of liquor without
license and jumped bonds, going to
Italy. Only recently he reappeared in
these parts again and was arrested.
He did not know he was again ac'
cused of the Cruz murder until he
heard the information read to him.
Even if the man is convicted of mur,
der in the first degree he would only
be sent to the penitentiary as the
death penalty was not in force at the
time the alleged crime was committed.

Good Range Selected.

The rife range selected by Adju
tant General A. P. Harrington, fol-
use of the New Mexico National Guard

the best in the country. The site is
about one mile from the reservoir east
of the city and in a rolling plain with
a good background of hills. Ranges
from 100 to 1000 yards can be con-
structed. making it suitable for small
arm and artillery target practice. This

regular army, had Albuquerque sue
ceeded in securing post, and it was
the intention of the regular army Off
GERS to establish a range at this point
for the use of the field artillery.

DIED FROM EXHAUSTION.
Martin n. Craig, Oklahoma Engineer,
Found Dead Near Los Placitos-
Buried Yesterday.

Special to the New Mexican.
TERRA Azul, via Abiquiu, June 21.-
The body of a dead man was found
near Los Placitos Monday afternoon
Deceased was identified as man
who had passed Roman Martinez S
house earlier in the afternoon and had
stopped there and asked for drink OF
water. He seemed to be very weak
and i'll and was in a sort of dazed con.
dition. After receiving the drink of
gater, the man proceeded on his way
and was found a few miles from the
house, where exhaustion had evidently
overcome him and he had lain down by
the roadside, death evidently following
soon after.
From papers on his person it was
shown that his name was Martin H.
Craig and that he was a union man
and in good standing. From memor-
az "a Il 9 rJtebCok found in one of the
pockets of his clothes it would seem
that he had been i'll at hospital in
Durango, Colorado, and had been dis.
charged from that institution on June
13. He was evidently trying to reach
the railroad at Espanola when death
overlook him.
A coroner's jury was empanelled and
rendered a verdict to the effect that
the deceased came to his death
through bodily exhaustion. The re-
mains were inferred in the Tierra
Azul cemetery yesterday evening.

st. Petersburg, June 21-Presdent
Roosevelt has taken new and inn

are collateral reasons for believing
that it relates to an armistice which
will prevent the impending battle i'll

affirmed. ALI that can be stated def

Large Fleet Sails for vladivostock.
st. Petersburg, June 21-Three Jap

the coast of northeast Korea and are
apparently converging on Possiet
Bay, sixty miles southwest of Vladi-
vostock. A large fleet of transports
has sailed from Gensan for Vladivos-
took.
Neither Country Willing to Take lni-
tiative.
Washington, June 21.-The stumb
ling block in the way of an armistice
appears to be that neither belligerent
is willing to take the initiative. The
present negotiations, so it is under
stood, consist of an effort to sound one
or both of the warning governments as
to their willingness to agree to the
armistice. There will be no official an
nouncement here regarding the proba
bility of such an armistice before
President Roosevelt returns, nor is at
all certain that even then there will be
anything to make public.
Surrender of Port Arthur Justifiable.
London, June 21.-A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
st. Petersburg says that the commits
sion appointed to investigate the ca

Chicago, June 21.-The first strike

when thirty wagons, belonging to the

blocked by striking teamsters at the
corner of Van Buren and Clinton
Streets. A deputy sheriff tried to
drive one of the wagons around the
obstruction, but he was held back by
the crowd. The crowd soon became SO
dense and so threatening that the depu-
ty sheriff drew his revolver and held
the mob in check by this means until
the arrival of the police, when the
crowd dispersed.
