(leneral McKenzie has just re- turned from El Paso, where he had a conference with General Fuero, com- manding the Mexican troops. A com- plete understanding has been arrived at. Operations on the Mexican side will be vigorously prosecuted.

TROOPS GOING FORWARD, Company F, Fifteenth infantry, Captain McKibben commanding, left Santa Fe on a special train this morn- ing to take a station at Lordsburg, on the Southern Pecific railroad,to guard that place against Indian atacks. Three companies of the Twenty-third infantry, under Captain Brady, left Fort Union at 11 o’clock to-mght for Lordsbure, and a company of the Twenty-third infantry, under Lieu- tenant Clark, also left Fort Bliss for Lordsburg. It is General McKenzie's intention to place these infantry com- panies at the different settlemonts for protection. 8o far General McKen- zie's dispositions have born admirable fruit, not any depredations have been committed on New Mexican soil.

Mrs. Marie Mader's Masterplece Pre- sented Sunday Night, Sunday evening Mrs, Marie Mader had her benefit at the German thea- ter, Mrs, Mader is evidently a great avorite with the patrons of the Ger- man stage, as at an early hour in the evening the crowd began filling in, in very latgo numbers, aud when the curtuin rose pretty well overy availa- blo seat was occupied. The play rn.Yn sented was an histor- ical one, entitled **Good Night Little Hans,” and it was magnitcently put on the boards, Most of the dresses were extremely gorgous and were at the samo time yery appropriate, Al- together the wis-en-scene presented a fine tableau. Mrs, Mader, as Maria Theresia, Queen of Austria, looked supremely imperial, and she enacted the part as if “to the manner born.” Mr. Mol- chin in the role of Josoph the Second showed up well, and Miss Thiessen as Barouess von Lederer was very charm- iug, Mr. Peoner personated the character of Lord Aspremont with the usual ability, and Miss Grosa- msun as Mario was especially good. The character, however, ~ which seemed to take the fancy of the audi- ence the most unmistakably, was that of Joesh Frohn, sustained by Mr. Hauck, His acting was certainly very fine, and great credit 1s due to him for the painstaking manner with which he mustered hia part. Mr. Lindemann made a very effec- tive Father Richter, and Mr. Lutsch wado a capital wilitary officer.
