connected these scriptures thai
you may be able to distinguish
between preaching to spirits in

And we admonish youagain to

Now Dear Friends, you may
see by the scripture referred to,
that it was not Gentijes or other
beings Of flesh and blood, which
christ preached to, and that the
preaching was done after he was
quickened. Aud the spirits we're
not brought out Of their chains
OF darkness, but will be at the
Judgement Of the great day.

Following in Order Named

a month before the expiration of the
term of congress on March for con.
gress and the president to consider
the constitution which has been so
overwhelmingly ratified; lacking dis.
approval by the senate and house of
representatives and with the un-
doubted approval of the president,
there is every reason to believe that
New Mexico will be a state in a
month or six weeks. Reports from
all over the territory show that the
people are celebrating with riotous
the tremendous victory
Of the progressive and patriotic citi-
sens of the territory after sixty years
# stubborn fighting for their rights.
The size of the majority gives as
surance that there will be no doubt
in any quarter, of New Mexico's feel
ing on the subject of admission to the
Union. Coupled with the positive as
surance of Delegate w. H. Andrews
that all opposition has died in con
gress, and the presidents assurance
to Secretary Nathan Jaffa of his en-
dorsement, there is no visible obstacle
in the way of New Mexico.

aursum Greatly Pleased

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Jan. 23.-Chair-
man H. o. Bursum, of the republican
territorial centrol committee, who has
led the campaign for the ratification
of the constitution in New Mexico,
was in Albuquerque last night. To
say that Mr.. Bursum is pleased with
the result is putting it mildly. "The
majority is even larger than I expect
ed" said Mr.. Bursum, though never
for a moment had l any serious doubt
of the result. 1t was simply a ques-
ton of getting the people who favored
the constitution and who were sure OF
| its ratification, aroused to the impor-
tance of casting their individual votes
to swell the total, and thus convince
congress that the people of New Mex
leo almost to a man really desired
statehood" Mr.. Bursum was especial
ly pleased with the big vote for the
constitution in the Pecos valley, where
Chaves rolled up fourteen hundred anC
Eddy twelve hundred majority for the
constitution.
"The ratification of the constitution
in the solidly democratic counties b.
big maiorities, and its ratification /
q solidly republican counties and
. counties divided politically by equal
large maiorities will rob the oppol
n ents of statehood of their last chanc
!. of CRYING fraud or coercion; or If the
; are so welded to their folly, as
a raise the cry, will rob them OF an
q chance of having themselves take
seriously in congress or anywhel
,r else. where reason rules"
}. According to Mr.. Bursum, Socorr
" his home county, so far as heard frol
n. has given a majority of some 8
ii for the constitution, and 1t is n
IN improbable that when the entire vo
7e is counted, the returns will SHOW
ng majority of one thousand.
,s. "That the constitution will be
on proved by congress and the pre-
Of dent" said Mr.. Bursum, there
scarcely a shadow of doubt, and it
ng quite safe to predict that before
is coming summer is over, New Mex
to will have elected full corps OF st
ird officers, members of the legislat
will and county officers"

Presidio, Tex, Jan. 23-(Sunday,
via Marfa) THAT fully one hundred
government soldiers were killed in a
fight two days ago at Ojinaga, was
the report received here today. 1t
is stated the heavy casualty list was
due to an ambuscade.
A flying squadron of revolutionists
is said to have decoyed large force
under General Dorantes into a trap.
The insurrectos entered the narrow
mountain gorge and the federal troops
followed. When at least two hun
dred pursuing troops had entered the
gorge, a deadly fire was poured into
them from the surrounding heights.
| A retreat ordered. but before
/ General Dorantess men could escape
at least half their number had beel
killed and many others wounded
| The ngnting between O5fnaga and
Cuchi1lio Parade lasted three days,
starting when a small band OF in
surrectos were routed at Coyama on
January 16. OF the 200 federals who
went into the mountain pass, only 40
escaped. The rebel loss was only 3
killed, according to their reports.
Geenral Dorantes has retired to
the foothills where he is awaiting re-
Inducements. A number OF wounded
rebels and insurgents have been
taken to San Juan. The insurrectos
cared for the wounded federals, treat
ing them with the same consideration
as their own men.
