C~apitulates to American Troops.

issued by Brigadier General Pershing
ordering the disarmament OF natives
in the district.
Their supplies were cut off and they
were surrounded in their stronghold
by American infantry. Finally they
were forced to yield, through hunger,
and marched out and laid down their
arms.
Prior to the surrender a desperate
band of twenty tried to force an out
post, but were repulsed. Several Mo-
ros were killed, but there were no

large majorities will rob the oppon-
ents of statehood of their last chance
of crying fraud or coercion; or if they
are so welded to their folly, as to
raise the cry. will rob them of any
chance of having themselves taken
seriously in congress or anywhere else,
where reason rules.
According to Mr.. Bursum. Socorro,
his home county, so far as heard from.

scarcely a shadow of doubt, and 1t Is
quite safe to predict that before the
coming summer is over. New Mexico
will have elected full corps of state
officers, members of the legislature
and county officers
The enabling act provides that, after
receiving word from the president that
the constitution is approved by him,
the governor shall, within thirty days.
issue his proclamation for an election
of two congressman, governor, state
officers and members of the legisla-
ture and officers of the various coun-
ties. This election must be held not
earlier than sixty days. nor later than
ninety days from the date OF the gov
ernor's proclamation. As soon as
possible after their election and quail
fication, the members of the state
legislature will convene for ninety
day session, the new state officers VIII
take the oath, and New Mexico viii
have commenced her career as a
sovereign state in the great American
union.

RETURNS CERTIFIED TO
PRESIDENT ON FEBRUARY Q.


BY the ~preuisions of the enabling
act, the governor ~ New Mexico is
to submit the certified ! turns IS to
thesr~sult 10 tile president the third
Monday after the election. which will
be February g. This leaves nearly
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 state in a
month or six weeks. Reports from
all over the territory show that the
people are celebrating with riotous
enthusiasm the tremendous victory
for the progressive and patriotic citi-
zens of the territory after fifty years
of stubborn fighting for their rights.
The size Of the majority gives as
suranco that there Will be no doubt In
any quarter of New Mexico's feeling
on the subject Of admission to the
Union. Coupled with the positive as
surance of Delegate Andrews that all
opposition has died in congress, and
the presidents assurance to Secretary
Jaffa of his endorsement, there Is
no visible obstacle in the way of
New Mexico
II was signal victory for the pa
triotic citizens of New Mexico over
the soreheads, extremists and dis
gruntled factions who. like the story
OF the man who promised a carload
of frogs and caught can full, de-
eeived the public by their noise.

The majority for statehood and the
constitution, as q result Of the phe-
nomenal vote polled on, Saturday will
reach the unprecedented total of
eighteen thousand votes. approxi-
mately.
That the majority was a landslide
and the most amazing kind of a
landslide becomes more and more ev-
ident as the figures come in from the
remoter precincts. Not only was the
majority overwhelming in its dimen-
sions but the vote, considering that
no candidates were involved in the
election was remarkably heavy
amounting close to fifty thousand.
Roughly speaking. some $4,000
votes were cast in favor of the con-
stitution and about 10000 against It,,
a vote of over two to one for state
hood.
Santa Fe county gives the banner
majority for the constitution of 1850;
San Miguel, with 1900; Colfax, with
1850; Chaves, with 1900; Valencia,
with about 1,150; Bernalillo, with a
majority which will range between
1,400 and 1900 all crowded Santa
Fe close and set the pace. The sar-
tling majority in Chaves county
where Roswell carried for state
hood with whoop, was one of the
interesting features of the result.
Last night full returns had not
been received up to late hour in
this county, but with the complete
figures from Chilli and Escabosa In
the mountains, Del Rio and Los
Ranches precincts, the majority In
this county will run close to $500.
