GOVERNOR CURRY OF NEW MEXICO
 PORTRAYED
New York Sun Tells of His
 Mastery Inactivity and
 Thrilling Experience Among the Untutored FilipinoS,
CNew York sun.)

The newly appointed governor of New Mexico will return from the phil ippines and incidentally from q career of great excitement and vicissitute, to take up the humdrum rou.,ne of American civilization. We refer to the Hon. George Curry, lately gov ernor of Samar, previously an officer of the insular lonstabulary Lefore that chief of police at Manila, aud away back in 1898 captain of crop H. of the Rough Riders. No doubt, sfter nine such tempestuOus yelrs, Governor Curry will welcome an inter- i0de of leisurely and peaceful ease. No doubt it was with view to thls well earned recompense. that his Gil commander, President Roosevelt, re- called the appointment of the lion. Herbert J. Hagerman as governor O, New Mexico and transferred the job to his old comrade in arms.
 The new governors official record fairly palpltates with dramatic incI- dent and suggestion. It may be true, as alleged, that this troop did not get away from Tampa with the lucky ones who went down with the Shsfter expedition of June :. 1898. to exteT- minate Spaniards and save the regu- lars under Young. Lawton. sumner, Kent and others from annihilation, but we can safely assure ourselves that he maintained during the period of his detention on the flelricden shore of western Florida thoroughly unterrified. not to say sangulnary bearing and exhibited every synp- tom of a burning thirst for war and devatation. The exploits of the Rough Riders in this town from the break. up at Montauk Point are still of vivid remembrance. There was also Washington episode, relating to one of the newspaper offices, in which a Captain Curry distinguished himself very considerably, contributing at the same time to the gayety of the cap ital Afterward. the homing heroes vanished from general observation, to crop out singly at eccentric intervals as office-holders, beneficiaries of ya- rious state institutions, fruits of shoot ing scrapes and bashful eyaders of attention by the sheriff
 Captain George Curry, however, went to the Philippines, where. as we have shown, he acted many parts. On lBlS SlUt Di Nlit "OFlu llt ndS dtIFdCt- ed attention chiefly by his perform ances as governor of Samar and fn particular by his marterly strategy on ] the occasioni of the peace conference at Malcoan, when the Pulajanesa . treacherously. attacked his party. and where he covered them with humiii- ating disappointment by rushing down 2 precipitots d6cliyity. pluEging into a raging torrent almost as formidable as the Bag Bag..iyer which Funston
 had swum asro-s some time before, and successfully accluding himself for thiTty-siX hours in the' tangled bush The Pulajanes have not yet rallied from the miserable setback. The governor of Samar therefore. will bulge into New Mexico crowned by many hal3s. and once more President RoUseyelt's wisdom in the distribu- ticn of rewards among the Rough Riders will receive a signal 1lIustra- tion.
 We are told that the displacement of Governor Hagerman in favor of Governor Curry must be credited to the potent influence and the dipio- matic finesse of the Hon. Bull An drews. It will not do, however, to believe everything one hears. For our part We shall always thing that Curry has won upon his merits as typical Rough Rider.
