NoGALEs, Ariz., June 20.-The State
Military Court is now in session at Quay
mas with an unusually large docket. The
Guaymas Jail is full Of murderers and
others liable to pay a penalty for their
misdeeds by death. Two have already
been shot, both being prisoners from
Nogales, Sonora. One was man who
shot Frenchman for the purpose Of rob-
berry short time ago. The other, a
former Nogales, Sonora, policeman,
charged with passing counterfeit money.
Both men we're sentenced to term in
the Mexican army. The guards started
with the prisoners to the Yaqui river,
but returned and reported that the pris-
oners attempted to escape and were
killed. This is usually the method ol
getting rid of criminals whose crimes
hardly merit the sentence of death.
There are about fifteen other murderers
to be tried at this term Of Court.

ERIN,S CAUSE
ERIN'S CAUSE
Winning All Along the Line-An
Important Interview.

DUBLIN, June 20.-The Freeman's Jour
nal to-day publishes an interview with
Archbishop Walsh regarding the Papal
rescript. The Archbishop said he had not
consulted with the bishops and could,
therefore, say nothing as to the manner in
which the rescript would be enforced.
He strongly insisted that whatever
influences have been brought to bear
upon the Pope, they had not had the
slightest effect upon his view of Irish af-
fairs. The disquieting conclusions drawn
from the fact that the rescript was first
published in Unionist organs were en-
tirely erroneous. The Pope had grac-
iously accorded him the amplest oppor-
tunity to state his views, and the re-
suit was his Holiness was in full
possession OF the Irish Nationalist pro-
gramme. Nothing was further from the
Pope's thoughts than to put any obstacle
in the way of the success OF the Nationalist
cause on the contrary, it was the Popes
firm conviction that the rescript, by con-
demning those points Of practical working
which evoked hostile criticism, would be
of the most decided assistance in the
advancement of the programme. On the
general situation the Archbishop spoke
most hopefully, and said that the Irish
cause was winning all along the line.

western Union improvements.

DAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-Durlng
the past five years the Western
Union system OF the Pacific Coast has
been more than doubled, and General
Superintendent Jaynes says the next five
years will doubtless see an increase fully
as great. Thousands of dollars are being
spent every week by the company to make
the service equal to the growing
of the demands. New lines are now
being built from this city to Portland and
from here to Los Angeles by the Coast
route. There is now a two-wire line to
Portland, but the system will be doubled
and three wires will be strung, it is
thought, before next season begins.
@Messages to Los Angeles now go down
the San Joaquin Valley. The new two
wire line upon which the men are now at
work goes by way Of Templeton, and fol-
lows as nearly as possible the proposed
route of the northern division OF the
Southern Pacific Railway to San Luis
Obispo, Santa Barbara and San Buena-
ventura. The wires are OF improved
copper. The posts are larger and nearer
together, and altogether the equipment
on this route, as we'll as on that north,
is an improvement in every way over the
old methods Of telegraph construction.

Grenada region was originally occupied
by tic Chibchd indians, who were II sort
Of American Buddhists, and numbered
three. quarters OF IL million. Their CAPT
TIL was called Bocata, which has been

is about $50 feet, and, therefore, no.
body can work there more than five
hoursa day; bnt one hundred thousand
people live in the Capital which is d
dull place, mainly built d adobe houses.
1t costs $1,000 to pay the freight on q
piano to the city, and yet nearly all the
wcll.to-do people have pianos. The
street cars are brought over the terrific
mountains in sections, and the rails were
carried by dozen persons per rail. New
Workers own The street railroads, which
charge ten cents. The police SO on
duty at night; they carry lassocs, and
throw them over thieves. The society
of Bogota is exclusive and they speak
Spanish, but the upper classes make pre-.
tentions to Frcuch. The politicians Of
Colombia have more influence than in
