A letter from Dr. Rose Kidd Beere of Denver to a friend in this city contains con-tains the following: "I have received a J-otter from Miss Killian, one cf. the "Red Cross, volunteers who went to Manila with me, sent by the Oregon people, and who remained as a government govern-ment nurse when the rest of US' returned re-turned with our regiments, which contains con-tains the following regarding Miss Mc-Cloud.. Mc-Cloud.. sister, of Judge McClcud of Durango: 'Most important of all the many changes which have taken place since you volunteers shook the water of Manila from your feet is the advent of a chief nurse who came out a few days ago a Miss McCloud. She is sensible, tactful and energetic, knows her business and attends to it.' As the writer did not know I knew any of Miss McCloud's friends, the compliment is disinterested." NEW MEXICO. Death of Lt. Luna. Albuquerque, N- M Nov. IS The sad news that flashed over the wires today that Lieutenant Maximilian Luna the brave rough rider, the able legislator, the polished gentleman, had "been drowned in the swollen waters of the Ango, while' following the flag of his country, was received throughout ! New Mexico with the. deepest sorrow, j In Las - Lunas. where he grew from J sturdy boyhood, the whole population were de-voted to him and are inconsolable inconsol-able at a loss that each feels to be personal. All the. afternoon the sounds of weeping and lamentation emanated from the houses of the village. Albuquerque, where the gallant troop of rough riders led away to Cuba by CaDtain Luna was recruited, and where the brave oflicei was highly esteemed, the manifestation of sorrow was no less universal. In Santa Fe, where the dead soldier had served in the legislature for two terms, flags were placed at half mast and men conversed of the sad occurrence occur-rence with bated breath. . . . Governor Otero, a cousin of the deceased, de-ceased, at once telegraphed a message of condolence to- Mrs. Luna, who is visiting her father. Major Keyes, at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio. Tex. The gallant young officer was the son of Hon. Tranquillo Luna, one of New Mexico's most honored congressional delegates. Hon. Sol Luna, an uncle, is today a most powerful member of the Republican partv in the territory. The family is one of the oldest and wealthiest wealth-iest of Spanish ancestry in the territory. terri-tory. Lieutenant Luna was born in Las Ltnaa in 1865. He was given a good elementary education in a private school and later was graduated from St. Michael's college in Santa Fe. Though one of the youngest members ever sent to the territorial legislature, he acquitted himself with great credit. For several years previous to the outbreak out-break of the Spanish war he had been an officer of the national guard. His record in Cuba was one of distinguished dis-tinguished gallantry. When he returned New Mexicans wished to send him to congress, but the young officer declined the honor. His own county insisted upon sending him back to the legislature, legisla-ture, where he was elected sneaker of the lower house. He owned a lovely home in Las Lunas, and his wife is one of the most charming and accomplished ladies of the territory. |
