TROUBLE IN PERU.
Fight Between Political Parties in
Which Several are Killed.

Fight Between Political Parties in
Which Several are Killed.
LIMA, Special.-The antagonism exist
ing between SenOres Roses and Morales
BermudcZ, the two candidates of the Con-
stitutiOnal party for the presidential NOM
ination, is probably greater now than it
was at the beginning, for the friends OF
both remain firm, and the agitation
in the provinces has already assumed grave
proportions. From Puno news has been
received of collision between the Rositas
and Bermudistas, resulting in the loss of
a number Of lives and the pillage
of many houses by drunken Indians.
Recently both Bermudez and Rosas arrived
at Huanta, in the province of Ayacucho,
where under most serious auspices they
started an electioneering strife, and an
armed collision between the two parties
was the result. 1t is also stated
that battle has already taken place
in the streets of Huanta, and many on both
sides were killed, among them being the
chiefs Of both parties, in the town
depu.y Of congress and head OF
chief OF the Rosas party. DR.. Urbina, hav-
ing seen tive members of his family fall at
his side during the eight hours of the COM
bat left with the remaining members
to seek refuge at the MatrlZ church.
There he found a number of
women, children and old people. The
priest, before the horrible tragedy took
place, exhorted the Indians to desist in the
name of humanity from their horrible
mode of procedure.
WENT To THE SLAUGHTER.
AS the Indians drew near the church
threatening to burn it, DR.. Urbina, know
ing that he had been the only cause for
such action on the part Of the Indians,
and wishing to save the lives, of
the many innocent persons that had
taken refuge in the church, resolved with
out losing time to sacrifice himself and ter
inmate the anguish of his friends. Leav-
ing the church he addressed his enemies
in the following strain: Il am Urbina,
whom you are looking for. Kill me if
you like, but the persons in the church
are not my accompliCes. Do not injure
them" The priest gave him his benediC-
ton and accompanied him to the door Of
the church. The priest intended to return
and close the church, but as he arrived at
the porch he became deprived of reason.
A few moments afterwards the head
of this victim of the implaCable hatred
and barbarity of his countrymcn was to be
seen at distance The Guerillas, in their
drunken fury, not being satisfied with the
murder of DR.. Urbina, continued to slaugh
ter the inhabitants and to sack and burn
the town tor many hours atterward. Over
one hundred lives were sacrificed to the old
rancOr existing between the families OF
Lazon and Urbna.

stormIng the Cherokee Strip.


The formal opening of the famous Chero-

boom in that direction. On Friday, March
Il, the march began, and a telegram says:

ENGLISH LABOR TROUBLES.
Strikes Of Gigantic Proportions
Among Workmen in England.


LONDON, SpeciaI.-Ten thousand miners
in North Wales have Joined the strike, and
also twenty thousand Tyne side en-
gineers. Several mills in Lanca-
shire have been compelled to
stop work on account of the scarcity of coal
arising from the strike of the miners, and
others are running on short time for the
same reason. Most of the miners
who went on the strike in Noting
ham have resumed work, the masters
having conceded an advance of per cent
in their wages. A conference of the coal
mine owners of Lancashire, Yorkshire
Staffordshire Derbyshire, Leistershire
and North Wales has refused
to grant the mems demands for
an advance of per cent in their wages now
and a further advance of per cent on July
l. The estimates made by the employees
themselves show that upward of 1901 600 men
constitute the fighting force confronting
them and the fact that this formidable
body is we'll supplied with funds and deter
mined and able leaders is also taken into
consideration as evidence that the struggle
must end in a compromise or victory for
the men after a bitter fight, and perhaps
bloOdshed.

K1owA, Kan, Special.-The laugh is on
the 'Sooners.' That is an expression of
the sentiment with which the presidents
proclamation was received here. The
boomers who had the good sense to refrain
from joining yesterday invasion are doing
the laughing, while their more hot-headed
companions, some of them al
ready returning disappointed look upon
the matter as anything but laugh
able. Those who staked claims just over
the line have already returned to Kansas
and will await patiently as near their claims
as possible the formal opening of the strip.
\ third, perhaps of the whole number of
the boomers who crossed the line yester-
day, have already returned or on their way
to this place They come struggling back
with good deal Of their impetuous energy
lost to await, as near their prospective
claims as possible, the formal opening of
the strip. As yet no military force has ar
ed that troops are on their way from Fort
Supply and will arrive here tomorrow.

steep sandbanks showed me that Ihad fallen
into trap exactly on the same model as
that which the ant lion sets for its prey. At
each step the shifting sand poured down
from above in tons, and ratified on the drip
boards of the holes like small shot. A
couple of Intellectual charges sent us both
rolling down to the bottom half choked
with the torrents of sand, and 1 was con-
strained to turn my attention to the river
bank.
CAUGHT IN TRAP.
Here everything seemed easy enough.
The sand hills ran down to the river edge,
it is true, but there were plenty Of shadows
across which 1 could pallop Pornic and find
my way back to terra frma by turning sharp
ly to the right or to the left. As I led Por-
ME over the sands 1 was startled by the
faint pop of a rifle across the river, and at
the same moment a bullet dropped with a
sharp "wGit" close to Pornic's head.
Tnere was no mistaking the nature of the
missile-a regulation Martini-Henri 'pick.
et." About five hundred yards away
country boat was anchored in midstream,
and jet of smoke drifting away from its
bows in the still morning air showed me
whence the delicate attention had come.
Was ever a respectable gentleman in such
an impasse? The treacherous sand slope al
lowed no escape from a spot which visited
most iuvoIuntarily, and promenade on the
river frontage was the signal for a
bombardment from some insane native in
boat. I'm afraid that lost my temper very
much indeed.
Another bullet reminded me that 1 had
better save my breath to cool nv porridge;
and I retreated hastily up the sands and
back to the horseshoe, where 1 saw that the
noise of the rifle had drawn 65 human be-
ings from the badger holes which had up
till that point supposed to be untenanted.
I found myself in the midst of crowd of
spectators-about 40 men, 20 women and L
child who conld not have been more than 8
years old.
They were all scantily clothed in that
salmon colored cloth which one associates
with Hindu mendicants, and at first sight
gave me the impression of band of loath-

PAGES 9 TO Y.

In bright glow, and the crow was neatly
spitted in front thereof, Gunga Dass began
without word of preamble:
"There are only two kinds OF men, sar-
the alive and the dead. When you are
dead you are dead, but when YOU are alive
YOU live." (Here the crow demanded his
attention for an instant, as it twirled before
the fire in danger of being burned to a elm
der.) s'If you die at home, and do not die
when you come to the CHAT to be burned,
you come here.
The nature of the reeking village was
made plain now, and all that mad known
or read of the grotesque and the horrible
paled before the fact just communicated by
the e1-Brahmin. Sixteen years ago, when
1 first landed in Bombay, L had been told by
a wandering Armenian of the existence
somewhere in India Of place to which
such Hindus as had the misfortune to re-
cover from trance or catalepsy were con-
veyed and kept, and 1 reeollect laughing
heartily at what was then pleased to con-
slider travellers tale.
Sitting at the bottom of the sand trap the
memory of Watson's Hotel, with its swing
ing punkahs, white robed attendants and
the sallOw faced Armenian rose up in my
mind as vividly as a photograph and i
burst into loud fit of laughter. The con-
trast was too absurd!
GUNGA DAss' STORY.
Gunga Dass, as he bent over the unclean
bird, watched me curiOusly. Hindus sell
dom laugh, and his surroundings were not
such as to move Gunga Dass TO any undue
excess of hilarity. He removed the crow
solemnly from the wooden spit and as SOL
emnly devoured it. Then he continued his
story, which give in his own words:
"In epidemies of the cholera YOU are car
ried to be burnt almost before you are dead.
When you come to the riverside the cold air,
perhaps, makes you alive, and then if you
are only little alive, mud is put on your
pose and mouth and you die conclusively.
If you are rather more alive, more mud is
put; but if you are too lively they let you
go and take you away.

me from my sheets when they saw that I
was too lively and gave me medicines for
one week, and survived successfully. Then
they sent me by rail from my place to Okara

at Okara station we met two other men and
they conducted we three on camels, In the

the assembly were beyond all description,
and shuddered to think what their life in
the badger holes must be.
A RUDE RECEPTION.
Even in these days, when local selfgovern-
ment has destroyed the greater part of
natives respect for Sahib, have been
accustomed to a certain amount of civility
from my interiors, and on approaching the
crowd naturally expected that there would
be some recognition of my presence. As a
matter of fact there was, but it was by no
means what had looked for.
The ragged crowd actually laughed at me.
Such laughter 1 hope I may never
hear again. They cackled. yelled,
whistled and howled as I walked into their
midst, some OF them literally throwing
themselves down on the ground in convul-
sions of unholy mirth. In a moment let

The wretehes dropped under my blows
like ninepins, and the laughter gave way to
walls for mercy, while those yet untouched
clasped me around the knees, imploring me
in all sorts of uncouth tongues to spare
them.
In the tumult, and just when I was feel
ing very much ashamed of myself for
having thus easily given way to my temper,

from behind my shoulder: "Sahibi Sahibi

with a marvellous capacity Tor making bad
puns In English-a peculiarly which made
me remember him long after had forgotten
his services to me In his official capacity.
1t is seldom that o Hindu makes English
puns.
GUNGA DAsS WAS CHANGED.
Now, however, the man was changed
beyond all recognition. Caste mark, stom-
ach, slate colored combinations and unc-
tuous speech were all gone. looked at a
withered skeleton, turbanless and almost
naked, with long matted hair and deep-set

least tell me the meaning of all that I had
gone through that day.

turned toward the miserable figure and
ordered him to show me some method of
escaping from the crater. He held freshly

my question climbed slowly on platform
