A Man Named Lozano Assassinated at
the San Tomas Coal Mines.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
LAREDO, August 2S.-News has just
been received in this city that killing
occurred at the San Tomas coal mines.
Two miners we're fighting, one with a
knife and the other with a pistol. A man
named Lozsno separated them, depriving
them of their weapons, which he took to
his residence. Some time in the night a
shot was heard in his house, and when
people rushed into the house his
body was found weltering in blood
on the floor. Investigation proved that
he had been shot through the breast with
a 3S-calibre pistol which he had taken
from one of the former combatants. His
wife was nearly scared to death, and
alleges that he was examining the pistol,
when it went off and killed him. Sus
picion rests upon her as the murderess, as
they did not always live happily together.
The names of the three Americans
recently killed in the wreck on the Mexi-
can National at Bocas station, below

Dick Clark, engineer, and Johnson,
colored fireman. Their bodies were

The Black Measles Epidemic in South
Carolina.


CHARLESTON, August 2S.-The secretary
of the state board of health has received
additional and important information
concerning the alarming epidemic Of
black measles which is prevailing among
the negroes on plantations along the
Santee river.
In Georgetown county, on the planta-
ton OF Mr.. Hazard alone, three negroes
have died from the disease, and it is said
to be spreading so rapidly that an entire
cessation of work on the growing crops
is feared. The crops consist mostly of
rice, which is now in the milk and re-
quires careful watching.
Efforts will be made to control the dis
ease by iso!sting the sick, but hospital
facilities in that section are not great,
and it is doubtful if relief can be had
Jules the general government takes hold
of the matter.
No appea! has been made as yet. This
i the only epidemic in the state.
The infected section Is il the extreme
northeastern part of the state. remote
from cities and towns.

OFFICE DAILY AND WEEKLY STATESMAN,

AUSTIN, august .
The recent heavy and general rain has given
new and more cheerful aspect to the situation,
locally speaking. A few fine yields Of cotton on
bottom land is now assured, and an average of half
bale TO the ere for the county is estimated.
so far only 800 bales have been received
in this market, coming chiefly. from
the sandy uplsnds. It is estimated Austin
will, the coming season, handle some 25,-
100 bales or double last years receipts. Ccnse-
quently, good local trade is expected this fall.
Things looz decidedly brighter thsn week sgo.
There is on foot considerable improvement in the
local trade, which terribly bad roads prevent be-
ins ss good as it might be.

The Coming Week In Congress.

WASHINGTON, August 2S.-The untinish-
ed business of the senate, the bill to ad-
NIT Washington territory, Will probably
be lad aside again to morrow, Temporal
rily, and thereafter from day to day until
the debate on the presidents message is
over and it is referred to the committee
on foreign relations. Senator George
has the floor for a speech upon the mes
sage when it comes up.
Another matter which will interfere
with the consideration of the unfinished
business Is the Jackson, Miss,
POLITICAL RIOT RESOLUTIONS.
These were called up on Thursday merely
for the purpose of giving Senator Wilson,
of Iowa, the opportunity to deliver a
speech, which speech is not yet finished.
If, upon its conclusion, Senator Pugh or
any one on the democratic side wishes to
reply, custom and courtesy will require
that the opportunity be given.
The bills to admit north Dakota and
Montana are likely to be taken up after
the Washington Territory bill.
Whether or not the week will be a
blank in the house from a legislative
standpoint will depend on the measure
of success attending the effort to secure
not only the presence but the continuous
attendance of quorum.
1t is the present intention to suspend
the hostilities engendered by

After that has been disposed of the
struggle will be renewed upon the general

on the army appropriation bill are ex-
pected to report.
The foreign affairs committee will
probably report back to the house during
the week the Wilson retaliatory bill with
the result of transferring in part to the
house the interest which followed the
debate in the senate last week upon the
