Massacre Of Arizona Miners.

WASHINGTON, April 2S-The land in the neighborhood of Lordsburg and Clifton, Ari- zona, is understood to be rich in minerals, and this fact attracts to that region large numbers of adventurers. One of these parties, con- sisting of twenty miners, was riding toward Clifton when it was attacked by band of Apaches which had just destroyed the town of Clifton and murdered it's inhabitants. The mi ners were ambushed by the crafty savages and all but Magruder killed and mutilated. Ma gruder, it seems, managed to hide and escape He is man of great physical strength and endurance, and after five days exposure on the plains got safelyto Clifton, which he found empty and desolate. He has many friends here, being connected with the fam fly of Henry D. Cooke, and representing i'm portant mining companies in which citizens of the District are largely interested. At Coolses banking house they hope to hear directly from Magruder to-day, and mean while his friends have such indirect informa- tion respecting his safety as to put them in good spirits

 LONDON, April 28--The execution of Dr.
 Lamson for the murder of his brother in law,
 Percy Malcolm John, student at the Blen-
 helm House School, at Wimbledon, by pois-
 onlng him, took place at nine o'clock this
 morning in the jail at Wandsworth. Only
 three reporters were present at the hanging.
 The procession entered the yard of the prison at 8:55 o'clock, when the prison bell was toll ing the death knell. The chaplain headed the procession. He was followed by two prison officials with their wands. The pris- oner, who, until the time of starting, had been calm and composed, looked very pale and dejected, and was very nervous. He was by wardens on either side and was with difficulty able to descend the steps to the yard He was met by Marwood, the ex- ecutioner, at the foot of the steps The pris- oner was bareheaded. The operation of pin ioning him seemed interminable. He submit ted without word and hardly seemed to appreciate what was going on. From the steps there was distance of about sixty yards to transverse to the gallows. Lamson was supported with difficulty from this point to the scaffold. He swayed backward and forward and stared wildly around him when placed under the moose. The chaplain, who appeared to be much affected, then began to read part of burial service. Lamson, in the meanwhile, was supported by two iailers and his legs were strapped. Just before the cap was adjusted he cast down his eyes with 3 look of extreme despair. When the drop fell death was instantaneous. The drop was nine feet. The chaplain remained by the gal lows, repeating the Lords prayer. The body remained hanging for one hour. The usual formal inquest was held this afternoon
 It is said that yesterday the prisoner wrote to friend virtually admitting his guilt, and attributing the crime to mental Arrangement He subsequently, wrote definite confession that he poisoned Percy John, but in it he de- nies that he was concerned in the death of Herbert John. Lamson's wife visited him yesterday and the parting was very painful. Mrs. Lamson was, however, very calm and self possessed. The father of the prisoner took leave of him on last Sunday, and de- parted for the continent to rejoin his wife and daughter.

Belmont Makes a Statement.


 WASHINGTON, April 28.-Mr Belmont this afternoon sent the following letter to MT. Williams chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs:
 My Dear Sir-Tn the examination yester- day and the days immediately preceding provocation so gross and persistent was of- fered me by the witness testifying before the committee that I was led to use language which, though unparliamentary, did properly describe his conduct and my appreciation of his character. The witness under examina- tion had seen fit to criticise the questions ad- dressed by me on former occasion to anoth- CT witness first because the quotation marks appeared in the printed record of such questions, the responsibility for which l dis avowed, calling attention at the same time to the fact that the form of the question mega tived the idea that l was quoting from those dispatches and secondly because of the in : depreciation placed by me on the dispatches This was properly matter for argument and the witness had every opportunity to present and explain his construction of the dispatches signed by him. He chose rather to insist upon change of my opinion re- specting the meaning of the dispatches, and when declined to make the change, my be- lief being positive and we'll founded, he thought proper on public occasion to use language personally offensive. It was my desire and purpose yesterday to put an end to the further continuance of these personal ities before the committee and I therefore referred to less public treatment thereof by myself. Having been surprised into n1aki4 g reply in the presence of the committee of a character such as it seems to my deliberate judgment would have been elsewhere under circumstances entirely proper, and which ex- presses my opinion perfectly, nothing fur ther in the nature of private personal 1 notice of the witness is required of me. l These supplementary personalities should have 10 place on the records of the commit tee, and cheerfully leave the method of dealing with them to the direction of your body. Very truly yours,

The warrant was placed in the hands of detective, who was sent to Balti- more.
 A Democratic caucus of members of the House was held to night from to 10 o'clock on the party action to be taken on the cleo tion case tomorrow. There were not more than fifty members present. Mir. Rosecrans was sick and Mir. Atherton presided. The absence of prominent members was notable The principal speakers were Messrs. Randall and House, who opposed flibustering. No definite action was taken, but the sentiment of the majority of the caucus was against se- rious dilatory tactics Filibustering will probably not be resorted to.
