BATTLE WITH BRIGANDs.
Mexican Bandits AttAck the Dolores

From the Nea0 York Herald.

Silver Mines
From the NelC York Herald.
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, April CIV.
S. Toals, an American mining engineer
who is direct from the famous Dolores
silver mines in NuevO Leon, Mex, ar
rived in this city to-day. He gives
graphic and startling description OF
desperate engagement that took place at
the mine between a band Of Mexican
mountain bandits and the miners. ne
mines, which are located in the
mountains about one hundred ana
fifty miles northwest of Neuvo
Laredo, are the most pronta-
BILE mines in Northern Mexico, and their
monthly output is of great value. Some
200 miners, principally MeXlcans, are
employed in them, under the superlnten-
dency of K. j. Bogusch The richness OF
these mines has frequently excited the
cupidity of Mexican bandits, and they
have been the scene of many bloody con-
flicts. To more successfully resist such
attacks a strong stone wall has been
thrown around the mining camps and all
approaches thereto are closely guarded.
ATTACKED BY OUTLAWS.
Last Sunday night about $50 Mexican
bandits rode down the mountain side,
and, lettering their horses in canyon
near by, stealthIly approached the min
ing camp, expecting to take it by sur
prise. just as they were scaling the
stone wall the moon shOne brightly forth
from rift in the clouds and the sentry on
duty sa " them and fired. This instantly
aroused the camp, and the miners rushed
forth under the leadership of Superintend-
ent BOgusch, to repel the attack. A sharp
and rafting fight was vigorously MAN.
tanned for over an hour, the bandits brave
ly holding their own. In the meantime
messenger was hurriedly dispatched to
Cinchon Garcia, the alcalde of the town OF
NaleciHO, two leagues distant, who
quickly rallied a force of fifty men and
rapidly repaired to the relief of the be-
leaguered miners.
BANDITS ASSAULTED IN THE REAR.
Coming upin the rear of the bandits,
Cinchon Garcia with his force began a
vigorous assault. The robbers, finding
themselves between two fires, precipi-
lately fed, leaving five of their number
dead on the fed and eleven seriously
wounded, about half of whom will die.
Quite a number of the miners were wound
ed, several dangerously, but none were
killed. The bandits were hotly pursued
by the com bined force of miners and citi-
zens, and a running fight was kept up for
some distance; but the familiarity of the
bandits with the mountain passes enabled
them to battle their pursuers, and escape
to their fastness.

Dastsrdiy Method of Breaking UP
temperance Revival at Benton.
ST. LOUIS, April ga special from
Benton, Mo-, says that Rev. Benz. Deer
ing, of st. Louis, had been for some days
past holding a series OF temperance re-
viyal meetings, which have been wonder
fully successful. Lastn night some one, as
yet unknown, placed in a pitcher OF water
which the revivalIst had placed upon the
desk of the speaker a large quantity of
croton oil. Several persons drank
of the water before the SER
vice began and became deathly
sick. but not knowing the cause OF their
illness failed TO warn Rev. Deering not
to drink from the pitcher. The latter
during his discourse drank a glass Of
water, and was Immediately taken sick.
All who tasted the water are to-day in a
precarious condition. Two saloon keep
ers have been arrested on suspicion, aud
il is thought they poisoned the water in
order 10 stop the services, which were
having such a depressing effect upon their
business.

FATAL GALLANTRY.

A Seafarer Stabbed by an Italian in q
Jersey City Street Car.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., April 26.-Late
last night IN a crowded street car James
Forester, an engineer on one of the
Anchor Line steamers, and companion
rose to give their seats TO a lady carrying
a child, when two Italians took possession
of the vacant places. An explanation
and protest had no effect on the Italians
and when FORESTER took one of them by the
collar to lit him from the seat the latter
plunged a knife into Forrester's back. A
police captain was close by and captured
the Italian with the bloody knife in bis
hand. The knife was a clasp knife with
blade nearly a foot long. The affair
created IA panic in the car, and in the rush
several passengers were knocked down
and trampled upon. Forester will
probably die.

the General Sessions Court to-day for SEN

The police reported that the man vas ~
years old, came from Germany five years
ago, bringing his wife and three children
with him. soon after his arrival he de-
serted his family and lived with another
woman both n this city and in Norfolk,

court and properly convicted they Will re-

and let these men feel that our criminal
laws are stronger than they are,aand
that if they violate our laws and

SILVER NINE OWNERS.
A Powerful Lobby in Washington Work.
ing Vigorously in Their Interest.
From the PAUadelphia Daily Ne,0s.

From the Phiadslphia Daiiy Nel0s.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-"There has
been mere this winter" said Representa-
tive Cutcheon, Republican, .'from the day
that Congress met, the most powerful
lobby in the interest of the silver mine
owners that l have ever known in Wash
lngt0n with possibly one exception - the
lobby in the interest OF the bonded whisky
Dill IN the last Congress. There IS no
monopoly in the country to-day more alb
solute than the silver NINE monopoly, and
the passage Of this free coinage bill, In my
opinion, would have been absolutely val
ueless to the people, but would have put
tens OF millions OF dollars into the hands
OF the silver bullion and mine owners.
From the very firstday OF this Congress
this silver lobby has maintained an or
ganiZation here called the "Bi-metalllc
League" and has had its headquarters in
the Pacific building on r. street, with a
literary bureau engaged in turning out
literature in the interest of free coinage,
for the benefit Of the silver bullionist.
Every member of Congress has been lit
orally bombarded with this kind Of litera-
ture ever since Congress met. / am in
FAVOR OF equal rights tor equal dollars.
Butt am not in favor OF bill to put mill
lions OF dollars into the hands oil the mine
owners.
There is strong sentiment among the
men who voted at the same time against
suspension of coinage and against free
coinage in favor of bill TO provide that
the United States sub-rreasuTies shall
receive on deposit all silver bullion from
American mines and issue therefor silver
certificates OF small denominations for
the market value Of the bullion. This
would give the country convenient
paper currency based on coin. 1t is not
unlikely that some plan of this sort VIII
be adopted at the next session OF Con-
gress, though probably not at this session.

He Publishes a Book Which VIII Cause

Him to Fight Many Duels.
PARIS, April 24.-The Jewish fraternity
in Paris has been reused to a murderous
pitch of iniuriated rage by book just
published, written by Edouard Drumont,
who is a jealous and fanatlcal anti
semitic. The volume is entitled LA
France JuIve," and the intention of the
author is TO show that the Jews will be
the ruin of France in time. He asserts
that they are converting the French peO-
pie into mere money-grabbers, and that
they are usurping the highest positions in
politics, society and journalism by means
of wealth and through sordld motives.
The majority of the people condemn the
work as distorted picture, and as the
mad effort of fanatic to raise an anti
semitic crusade IN Paris.
DrumOnt has already been laid up by
sword thrust received in the duel with
Laurent. the editor of lie Paris. Laurent
is not Jew, although he condemned the
book. DrumOnt has been challenged by
Meyer, director of LIE GGuiOjs, who is a
Jew. and will be obliged TO fight him as
soon as he is recovered from his present
wound. Other Jews are only waiting for
his recovery to challenge MIN, and he
will have lively time OF 1t unless he
should be killed soon.

shall in Tennessee.
CHATTANOOGA, April ga special
from Manchester, Coffee county, Tenn,
gives details of a bloody tragedy enacted
there shortly after midnight this morning
in which United States Deputy Marshal
Webb Pudon, of Manchester, and moon
sinner named Clarke, were killed and
three other mOonshineTs were fatally
wounded. About ten days ago Deputy
PudOn accompanied Deputy Marshal
Hughes on raid among the Illicit distil-
leries Of Gruudy county, Tenn, and
captured and destroyed several stills.
Between Il and | O'Clock this morning
fifteen mOonshIners rode into Manchester,
determined to lave Deputy PudOn's life.
Seven broke into his house and the bal
ance surrounded it. Deputy PudOn met
them as they entered with a cooked re-
vover, and a terrible battle ensued. TWO
moonshiners fell to the floor NOR
tally wounded, and the gang re-
treated. but they had succeeded
in fatally wounding Deputy PudOn.
Disabled as be was he jumped from mis-
bed, seized dOu ble-barreled shot gun and
fired into the retreating gang and two
more fell mOrtally wounded. Deputy
Pudon then fell dead beside the BODY of
one of his victims. The gang carried Off
three of their wounded companions. A
large posse is now in pursuit OF them.
