The Way tho Portuguese Are Carrying
Things in South Africa.
LONDON, April 20.-A dispatch received
here from Durham, South Africa, shows
that the Portuguese authorities are taking
high hand measures in Mashonaland. The
latest instance of their hostility to British
interests in that district are likely to cause
further tension in the relations between
the governments of Great Britain and
Portugal. There are a number of British
oolonists who have settled in Mashonaland,
and the mails destined to them are carried
A short time ago, upon the arrival of Brit

thorities held them and refused to allow
them to be carried to their destination,
Great indignation on the part of the Brit

Agnes which was engaged in convey
ing an expedition and the seizure of her
cargo and boats engaged in the same serv-

refused to accept this payment and order

tuguese declare the British excluded from
the Pengive river, which the boats were

British colonists have been imprisoned and
most of the British settlers have returned
from Mashonaland on account of the arbi-

STRIKE AT THE SMELTER.

About One Hundred Men Quit at the East
w. Helena Works.
The East Helena smelter is shut down
temporarily on account of the company Is
refusal to accede to the demands of the
men for an advance of pay. The advance
asked for is 25 cents day. The men have
been getting 1926 a day. About 100 are
employed there and all are out except a
few who were engaged yesterday in bail
ing out the lead wells. They were not in
tArfeled with in any way during this work.
The men base their claim for more pay on
the nature of the work they have to per-
form. The company decline to pay the ad-
vance on the ground that they have been
figuring SO closely on their contracts that
the difference of 25 cents day per man
would result in loss
General Agent 9. G. Griffith, of the oom-
pany, give the following account of the
trouble He says some of the slaggers had
been changed to the roasters. The roast
ing dons3eJ one of the crews proved unsat-
lsfactory, and the crew was taken off. Mr.
Griffith says the men were dispIeaBed at
this and all made demand for an advance
of from 1925 to $3.50 per day. 1t was re-
fused and the men quit work Sunday morn
ing. Mr.. Griffith claims that the competi-
tion with Tacoma and eastern smelters, and
the prospect of a new rival at Portland at
an early day. forces the concern to figure
very closely on its work, and it cannot af-
ford to pay the advance. To do SO, he
says would result in a loss to the company.
He expects the trouble to be arrange AMIGA

OIL IN WYOMING.
Three Large Gushers That Are Kept
Locked Up-Petroleum Spring.

Three Large Gushers That Are Kept
Locked Up-Petroleum Spring.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 20.-ln the Shos-
hone oil basin, Fremont county, an Omaha
company has three wells that would be
spouting all the time but for being locked.
Near one of the wells is natural petroleum
spring. From this the thick dark fluid
continually flows. 1t gathers in little ba-
sin 200 yards long and half as wide. Birds
allured by the mlrror-like surface, land and
are lost. and the sheet has trimming of
rabbits and squirrels. This remarkable
lake is close to the smaller Pope-A- Gle riv-
er, and in the spring becomes a part of the
bed of that stream. The ice broke and the
river widened last week. Oil spread evenly
over the current. 1t gave a beautiful color,
but rendered the river useless for stock or
domestic purposes. Irrigating has not COM
menced. else much vegetation would be
poisoned. 1t happens like this every
year. This oil will be carried to the Big
Horn river, then to the Missouri, thence to
the Mississippi. on to the gulf and out into
the ocean. The three wells and the spring
are on patented land. For year once the
oil was carted to the Union Pacific at Raw
Inns and used in its crude state as lubri-
can't, and pronounced superior to any
thing the market afforded. The basin is
105 miles from Rawlins and nine miles
from Lander.

ID probable that last nights visit was de-
llberate plot to rob the Chincellas. About
one O'Clock this morning Gaboth arose, and
entering the room where his wife was sleep
ing with her mother, plunged a stiletto
into the old woman's abdomen, killing her.
The fact that his wife remained perfectly
quiet with her mothers blood squirting
over her, is taken as evidence of the fact
that she was party to the horrible plot.
Gaboth then went into the next
room and thrust his stiletto into
the neck of old Chincella, meaning to
end his father-in-law's life with one blow.
he missed vital spot. however. and the
old man gave cry, which aroused his two
sons In the next room. one of them seized
a stiletto and sprang at the murderer like a
tiger. fierce contest followed, the men
fighting up ond down the room, striking at
each other. Suddenly Gaboth's wife
sprang out of bed and tried to separate the
combatants, receiving two serious stabs.
The older of the sons seized her, pulled her
away snd let the combatants fight it out,
moment later Gaboth flung up his arms
with loud cry anu fell dead. Young
Chlncella had driven the stiletto through
his left eye into the brain.
Young Chlncella went at once to the
police station and reported the occurrence
lie was seriously cut. His sisters injuries
are not dangerous, but the old man will
probably die. The bodies of Mrs. Chin
celia and Gaboth were taken to the morgue.

Provisions Of the New Convention
Recently Made With the
United States.
New and Extensive Markets. for
American Products In the
Antilles.
-. msnt-Portuguese Carrying Things
With q High Hand.

MADRID, April 20.-Thc reciprocity con-
vention between Spain and the United
States provides that in return for the privi-
leges of free entry into the United States of
Antilles sugars, molasses. coffee and hides,
and reduction of the duty on tea, America
will obtain exemption from duties on most
of her raw and manufactured products and
q reduction of the tariff on cereals and
flour. The negotiations were protracted on
cereals, flour and oils, including petroleum
and lard. The same question in regard to
tobacco WAS also raised, but not coming
within the scope Of the reciprocity section
of the American tariff, was put aside. Pre-
mier Canovas offered resistance to the abo-
TO the protests of Spanish traders. Event
ually the representation that American
reciprocity would be impossible without the
free admission of American cereals induced
Prepier Canovas to assent to such reduction
of tariff as will place American flour on
about an equal footing with Spanish -four
Spanish merchants declare that, taking
into consideration the cost of transporta-
tion, American flour will crush cut the
Spanish product in the Spanish West In
dies. Cuba now consumes 100000 barrels
of -four yearly, chiefly Spanish, which en-
ters free OF duty, and pays for it $12 per
barrel. Trade in American -four, burdened
1885, has been completely wiped out, to the
advantage of the Spanish product.
Under the new convention the entry
of American -four practically free Of
duty, will lower the price to about Sc per
barrel and will extinRuish the importation
of Spanish -four, while increasing Cuban
consumption to 1,O00, 600 barrels yearly, all
of which will be American prodnct. If the
pressure of Spanish interests had not been
counteracted by the demands of the Cuban
commission, Canovas would have declined
to make such concessions.
The prospect OF a dangerous tension of
the relations of Spain with Cuba and Porto
Rico, resulting possibly in civil war,
obliged the government to sacrifice the
home industries to colonial interests. Un-
der the new convention America will obtain
a kind of zollverein with.the Spanish An
titles. Her wheat, beans, -four, lard, petrol
cum, manufactured products and machin-
cry will enter practically free of duty.
Among other Spanish exports, olive oil will
be replaced by American lard, and beans,
now exported to Cuba IN large quantities.,
will cease to be sent. The advantages re-
sulting to Cuba will be great but it is i'm
possible to estimate the injury to Spanish
trade.
