Memorial Day Proclamation.
Law and custom has established an
annual holiday in honor and memory
of the soldiers and sailers who went
to the defense of our country. In this
national roll of patriotism New Mexico
occupies a conspicuous and proud
position. She sent TO the fore in that
terrible struggle, the Civil War, a
greater percentage of her sons than
did any other commonwealth in the
Union; furthermore, these soldiers
were principally Spanish-Americans
who had then recently sworn al
legiance to the United States Govern
ment. In more recent years New Mex
leo again contributed of her manhood
in the conflict with Spain. All New
Mexicans should pause for day in
their busy lives and gratefully pay
tribute to the brave men living and
dead who offered their services anf
their lives for the establishment Of
the peace and safety we now enjoy
NOW, THEREFORE, |, WILLIAM
c. MCDONALD, Governor of the State
of New Mexico, do hereby proclaim

practicable: that they join the various
patriotic societies in proper obser-

suitable exercises be held and the

Opinion by Attorney General.
May 20, 1912
Mr.. J. d. Walker, Carlsbad, N. M.
Dear Sir
| have Just received your letter of
the 10th inst. in which you ask
whether as justice of the peace you
now have jurisdiction in cases where
the amount in dispute, exclusive of
interest, is more than $4,000 or less
than $4,000.
The present statute of New Mexi-
co is not negative as is the clause in
the Constitution but affirmatively
gives each justice of the peace juris-
diction in civil actions where the
debt, damages or value of property
shall not exceed $4,000 with certain
exceptions as you Will see by refer
ence to Section 3232 of the Compiled
Laws of 1897. The Constitution in
Section 26 of Article vi negatively
prohibits justices of the peace from
having jurisdiction in any matter in
which the debt Or sim claimed shall
be in excess of $4,000 exclusive OF
interest. This does not confer any
jurisdiction on the justice but re
quires legislation to make it opera
tive beyond the jurisdiction already
conferred by statute. AS you say the
constitution provides that all laws il
force, in conformity with the consti
tuition, shall remain in force. There
is no inconsistency between the stat
ute above referred to and the clause
of the constitution. While the con
stitution forbids the giving to justices
o. jurisdiction above 100000, yet tn,
legislature might consistently limi
the jurisdiction to a less amount
Therefore, until the legislature acts
the jurisdiction must remain th
same as fixed by the Territorial stat
ute. Yours truly,
FRANK w. CLANCY,
Attorney Genera

tBy Special Leased Wire to New Mexlcan)
Washington, D. c., May 23.--As a
result of reports of danger to Ameri-
can lives and property in Cuba, the
navy department, at the request OF
the state department, has ordered the
naval transport Prairie to embark 500
marines at Philadelphia and proceed
Immediately to the United States ma
val station at Guantanamo bay to join
the gunboats Paducah and Nashville.
Pessimistic Reports.
State department advices today re-
garding Cuba were very pessimistic.
Apparently the government has been
unable to estimate the strength or the
purpose of the present insurrectionary
movement
Situation Admittedly Grave.
The Cuban military authorities ad-
nit that the situation is serious, but
think they can control it. The gov
ernment is said to be receiving of
| fers of service from various organiza-
tions and individuals.
A party of Congressman left Havana
last night for their respective districts
in the disaffected regions to make an
effort to conciliate the negroes.
To Provoke Intervention?
1t is reliably reported to the state
department that many people consider
the movement designed to provoke in
tervention, but no explanation was
volunteered at the department at the
receipt of this report. 1t has been a
matter of discussion for some time
among the diplomatic corps here, how
ever, that the Cuban government it.
self might be tempted to encourage A
Tebellious movement in the hope OF
securing a continuance in power by
American backing. 1t has been stated
that President Gomez has lost control
OF his own liberal party through his
refusal to displace the Spanish ele
ment among the office-holders in favor
of the so-called veterans" large
proportion of whom are negroes, who
participated in the war of independ
