The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-05-01

Washington, May 1.-The Navy de-
partmelt has received a cablegram
from Commander Wood, of the Dixie,
at Havana, transmitting a report
from Commander Tappan of the gun
boat Tacoma, now lying at Santiago,
Cuba, stating that trouble had occur
red between some sailors of the ship
on shore leave and the local authori-
ties the dispatch promises details
later
While a full report of the affray
at Santiago is not yet at hand, it is
learned at the Navy Department that
Commander Tappan cabled that ten
sailors of the Tacoma were injured
in an attack by the police of Santa
go. One man, Harry Lee, fireman,
has a fractured skull and a gunshot
in the lung. His condition is serious.
Others are not so serious. Tappan's
dispatch states that these men COM
posed a liberty party of the Tacoma,
and were attacked by police while
returning to their ship at half past
one yesterday morning. No cause
was assigned for the attack, but it is
supposed that the men were perhaps
singing as sailors are apt to do
when ashore. N almost all large
ports. unless the men are absolutely
disorderly, the police let them pro-
ceed on their way without molesta-
ton. So far as the naval officers here
know this has been the custom at
Santiago ever since American ships
made that station a port. The officials
are at loss to conceive a reason for
the change of attitude at Santiago.
They scarcely believe that the men
were much to blame. and they GER
tainly could not be the .gressors, be-
cause Commander Tap1n reports that
they were attacked by the police,
and the character of the injuries sus-
tained by the men is an indication
that they were assaulted with clubs
and swords or bayonets. No mention
was made of any injury inflicted up
on the police, wnicA it not surprising
as the liberty men are not allowed
to carry weapons.

Neqro CAUGHT 'Possum.

A negro named Lewis caught an
opossum, fat and il fine condition, at
the rear of the postoffice this morn
ing The appearance of this animal
right in town proves the statement
that there are both raccoons and
opossums in eastern New Mexico.
The capture might lead some to think
that it was this marsupial that has
been catching the many chickens dis
appearing from the coops and yards
of various people about town-but the
people themselves, as well as the of
ficers, know that it is the worst enc
my of the 'possum who has been
taking the chickens because he could
not find the real thing to go with
his sweet potatoes.

Want Teachers for Philippines.

Washington, May 1.-Uncle Sam is
in dire need of teachers to bring the
young Filipinos up in the way they
should go and will attempt to fill
tae 100 vacancies 1ow existing on the
island by civil service examinations
in many cities throughout the country
today and tomorrow. Male applicants
will be given preference and no wo-
me1 will be accepted unless they have
husbands, present or prospective, in
the Philippine service. This discri-
mination against fair pedagogues is
made necessary because of the fact
that dozens of young women who
have been sent to the islands in the
past have become smitten with home
sickness and demanded to be return
ed Immediately after their arrival
The salaries of the teachers range
from $1,000 to $1,000 a year. Exami-
nations are also being held to secure
men to fill five vacancies il the posi-

SHOTS WERE FIRED

Arrested Nothing Unusual in New
York. Denver Mill Men Demand
Closed Shop and Go on Strike.

Paris, May Although the en-
tire garrison of Paris troops were un-
der arms and six hundred mounted
republican guards and the vast po-
lice reserve were on duty in order to
prevent the gigantic May Day mani
festation planned by the Socialists,
the city presented its normal aspect
this morning. Troops were massed at
various points out of sight to avoid
unduly exciting the populace. While
not attempting to interfere with the
meetings, the authorities are resolved
to prevent any attempt at street dem
onstrations. 1t was apparent early this
morning that the people were not
much in sympathy with the agitators.
The appeals of the Socialists for the
complete suspension of work were
generally unheeded
The police kept the crowds moving
and by noon 200 arrests had been
made. Upon many of the prisoners
knives, brass knuckles and revolvers
were found.
This afternoon a man passing the
Place de la Republique on an omni-
bus fired five shots from a revolver
at squadron of Cuirassiers, wound
ing two cavalrymen. The man was fin
ally identified as Jacob Law, of Balta,
