Ell COYOTE SLAIN.

The Noted Mexican Bandit Juan Rodrig

Coyote" and His Band Surprised by Mex
lean SoIdiers-The Leader and Seven OF
His Followers Killed-A Feeling Of Re
lief.
LAMPAzOs, Mex, Sept. 1S.-Captain
Jose Maria Herrera and seventy men OF
the Tenth Cavalry surrounded El Coyote
and thirty of his band Thursday at p.
m, while they were enjoying an after
noon rap at the Santa Domingo ranch.
The horses were staked out, guns stacked
and the bandits had their shoes off, when
the soldiers quietly approached with
drawn swords and began the work Of cX-
termination. The bandits were taken
completely by surprise, but they made
a desperate hand-to-hand fight, and
twenty of them fought their way through
the ranks of the troops. Eight were
killed and three wounded. Among the
killed were:
Colonel Juan Rodriguez Martinez, bet
ter known as FL Coyote.
Captain Manuel Perez Vela.
Lieutenant Pauline Chaver.
The troops lost one killed and one
wounded. They captured fifteen horses,
seventeen saddles and twenty carbincs.
Captain Herara is being heartily con-
graduated from all quarters for the Splen.
did results of his expedition. 1t is mat,
ter of general surprise that the willy Coy
ote, who has for so long time been Il
terror on the border, should have beer
caught mapping.
When the troops close din on the slum.
bering band FL Coyote was the first to
awake, and springing from the ground he
fairly beloved with rage as he realized
the terrible position. He fought like a
demon and tried to rally his men, but his
great power and herculean form went
down, pierced by a dozen sabers, amidst
the exultant yells of the victorious
troopers who were charged with the per-
formance of that particular duty. The
bodies of the eight bandits were buried
where they fell.
NEW LAREDO, Mexico, Sept. 18.-The
reported death of Ell. Coyote causes In.
tense excitement in this city, his former
home, and the present home of his
family. He has many friends here who
claim that he possessed many good
qualities. However, there is general
feeling of relief, as it is believed that bis
death and the recent defeat of Mauricio
Cruz will bring about state of peace on
the border that will not be disturbed TO:
some time to come. A prominent official
states that the Santa Domingo ranch is
famous for it's fine wine and mescal prod
ucts. He suggests that Ell Coyote and
his followers celebrated the day there by
imbibmg freely and neglected the usual
precautions. His downfall can be at.
tributed to no other cause.

TILDEN'S BAR'L.

The VIII of the Dead Statesman Likely to
be Contested by Those who Worked to
Repair His Fortune When There Was the
Most Need - Legatees Who Had Been
Better on Had They Been Ignored En-
tireIy.
New YORK, Sept. lS.-In spite OF all
efforts TO keep the troubles quiet it has
become almost certain that the estate OF
the late Samuel j. Tilden will not be
settled without an unpleasant con-
test. The arbitrary action OF An
drew II. Green, the chief OF the
executors, IN turning out of the house
at GreystOne the sister and niece of Mr..
Tlden and closing mp the mansion there,
followed by the taking possession Tor
himself Of the town house at Gramercy
Park, called public attention first to the
troubles among the heirs. Mr.. Green's
action as TO Grcystone is defended
on the ground that the will
not being probated yet there
was 10 money available with which to
keep the house open. 1t is asserted,
however, that even were he unwilling TO
advance the money neCcssay for the pur-
pose, INC mere COuItSltS lC lldN lC-
ceiycd at the hands of the ladies OF
| GreystOne entitled them TO more consid-
crate treatment than they received. The
manner of his action more than the act is
criticised As to his living at the town
house, i; is said that it is only matter
of convenience, and that all the bills for
the house are paid by himself. 1t is now
announced, as to the prospect of con-
test of the will, that negotiations with
! the dissatisfied heirs are under way 10
| bring about quiet settlement of the
| difficulty, but that they will probably
| fail That there is something of
| this kind going on is shown by
| the way i'm which the probate of
| the will is being postponed from week TO
| week. In this connection it is alleged
that the nephcws of the dead statesman,
who took up the burden of the business
! of their father and uncle at New Lebanon,
| at a time when it was in an almost hope
! less condition, and have been ever
since engaged in paying off old debts,
are lett in a peculiarly hard situa-
ton by the will. It Is asserted that
| when the young men took hold OF the
| business it was incum5crcd with Obliga-
| tions running up into the hundreds OF
thous%dS in the shape of paper indorscd
| to the Undertook Bank, Il mortgage to
secure notes of Mr.. Tilden's brother,
etc The bulk of the obligations
were incurred in 1875, 1876 and
1871, and it is intimated that
they represented expenditures for politi-
cal and not for business purposes. Their
friends assert that they took the busi-
ness with an understanding that their
uncle would protect these old debts and
see that they lost nothing by them
Ever since they have attained their ma
! jorty they have been at work reducing
this burden, with the idea that ulti'
matelv they would be reimbursed. Now,
it is said, they would have been better
off had they not received a cent
under their uncle'S will, and not
have had to assume the debts of the old
firm. Under the will whatever help they
have had from their uncle in paying off
these old debts is to be deducted from
their legaces.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ga delegation OF
citizens of the district called ON the house
appropriations committee to-day with. a
petition signed by ll6 leading merchants
OF Washington and Georgetown, asking
that some action be taken 10 protect those
cities from food, consequent upon the
heavy freeze and snowfall The petition
sets forth the fact that the river ID
blocked with ice TO an extent never before
known, aud that il threatens, when the
snow and ice melts, to inundate the city,
causing immense loss TO property. IL
states that merchants have already spent
$500 on the work Of opening up the river,
but that amount has not been sufficient 10
protect the city, and asks that the dis
tIict commissioners be authorized 10
expend q sufficient sum from the
emergency fund to clear the river. The
gentlemen bearing the petition declared
that the river was In q worse condition
than they had ever seen II, and that
something must be done az once, or tho.
loss OF property would be immense.
Near Fort Washington and just below
Alexandria there IL au ice-block, apd
the river all the way up Is chOked with
ice and snow. The last snowfall cqmf
ing on top OF the gorge has made the
situation critical, and has rendered rem
tirely inefficient the work thus far done
by the citizens. At the aqueduct there are
places where the ice and snow have piled
up until the gorge extends 70 the bottom
oi the river. The damage that would pc
