SAN ANTONIO. Ten, Oct. GA letter
from one of the Federal officials at Rio
Grande City, Tex, says that First Lieut..
BoZan, fiery young officer of the Mexican
army, has deserted to this side. Some
weeks ago his brother was caught by Gar
cia's soldiers and shot as suspected revo-
lutionist Lieut.. BoZan on hearing OF the
assassination sent challenge to Gen. Gar
cia. The following is its language:
To Brig.-Gen. Lorenzo Garcia, Commanding
the Department OF Tamaulipas, Mex.
Shiny brother, Juan Bozan, has been
brutally murdered by your orders. My al
legiance to the government of our country
is strong. | have been educated by my
country, and its preservation is dearer to
me than life. My brothers life was dearer
to me than my own. If you are not hard
ened by your career you will leave your
superior rank and accord me the Satisfac-
ton due me for the terrible wrong done to
my mother and myself. have the honor
to be at your service,
ISignedl ALoNzo BozAN,
First Lieutenant, Serving with the Army
of Mexico.
Learning that his life was in danger and
that his execution only awaited the order
of arrest issued by Gen. Garcia, Lieut..
Bozan deserted to Texas after bidding fare
well to the company that served under him.
When he arrived at Rio Grande City his
clothes were practically torn from his body
by the chapparal through which he had
passed. He will go into business in the
United States.
Evidence accumulates that the execution
of the alleged Cara revolutionists by Gen.
Garcia were without Justification. The
larger number of the men shot were harm
less Mexican cowboys living in Texas, who
were in the habit of crossing the Rio Grande
back and forth dozen times week

Cherokee Issues.
Special to the Gazette.

TAHLEQUAH, l. T., Oct. 29.-The members
of the Cherokee legislature are beginning
to arrive in Tahlequah, and things generally
around the capital are assuming an ami
mated and lively appearance. The annual
session of the legislature, or council as it
is called here, conveneS Monday, and the
many important questions that will come
up for its consideration will ma e it the
most interesting assembly that has ever
come together in this Nation
One of the first questions to be attended
to by the CherokeeS at this session will be
q disposition of their 5000, 900 acres of sur
plus land, known as the Cherokee Strip,
and which has been attracting so much at
tention for the past two or three years. As
to the disposition of this vast tract of land
the sentiment among the Indians is some
what divided-some being in favor of sell
ing it to the government at Sl.25 per acre ;
others want it allotted to the Cherokees,
while still another class favor holding it as
the property OF the Cherokee Nation until
s. or $40 an acre can be realized for it.
However, it is now pretty generally be-
lieved here that it will be sold to the gov
eminent at Sl.25 per acre, and that the
troublesome harangue that has been going
on so long between the Indians, cattlemen,
boomers and Uncle Sam will thus be for
ever settled.
Another question, which is considered
d very lulpOrtdIll one. Is u nndl decision. SO
far as the Cherokee Nation is concerned,
on the rights as citizens of this Nation of
over six thousand persons vino are now
occupying vast amount of the best land
in the Cherokee Nation on a mere claim"
of being Cherokees, but who are consid-
cred ''intruders'' by the Nation. This
class of Cherokee citizens are headed by
family by the name of Watts and are
banded together in a strong organization
known as the Watt citizenship associa-
tion,' with membership of over six
thousand. They have never been allowed
the voting privileges of Cherokee citizens,
but are very wealthy and are now monop-
olizing great deal of the best farming
land in the country.
Another bill is to be passed upon, so
GAZETTE reporter was told yesterday by
member of the senate. requiring the pay
ment of a $500 iscense for white man to
marry Cherokee woman. This bill will
no doubt become law. 1t has been receiv-
ing no little attention by the Indians for
some time past Heretofore Iiscense to
marry Cherokee woman, and thereby be-
come full-fedged citizen with all the
rights and privileges of native-born
Cherokee, was but $40, and is resulting in

Race Rights.

OTTAWA, Oct. 29.-The resignation OF
Hon. J. a. Chapleau, secretary Of state and
leader of the French Canadians, continues
to create great excitement throughout
Canada. Chapleau spent yesterday in Mon
treal in consultation with his political sup
porters. Tremendous efforts are being
made to effect compromise. 1t is certain,
however. that Premier Abbott will not give
Chapleau the railway portfolio and antag-
onize the Ontario Protestants. 1t may be
assumed without danger of going very far
astray that Chapleau's communication to
the premier of his ultimatum, as some call
it, is based largely on the doctrine that
Quebec has been refused or not given
place in the cabinet to which she is enti-
tied. His view seems to be borne out by
an article in LIE Canada, which not only
claims the portfolio of railways as a right
for the province of Quebec, and turns the

Treible's house He stated that Maynard
was in town and desired to see his wife,
Imogene, and most especially his daughter.
Treble explained that there was no such
person as ImOgene Maynard; that he had
married the lady in Denver, Col. At the
same time he exhibited divorce obtained
by Mrs. Maynard from her husband. and
one that he had obtained from the wife he
had deserted when he had fed
with the woman. The officer was

boarded the train for San Antonio, where
they will apply for a writ of habeas corpus
to secure the child. Maynard saw his
fourteen-year- daughter before leaving

fecting. Last night Treble and Mrs. May
nard fed in q buggy, going south. They
took the girl with them. All the parties
lived in Pennsylvania and the guilty couple
eloped from there. The marriage certiti-
cate which Treble exhibited was from

Chili's Reply.

WASHINGTON, Oct. cit was nearly noon
before the cablegram was translated and
laid before the president An hour after
wards messengers were dispatched to Sec
rotary Blaine and Secretary Tracy, request
ing their presence at the White House.
TO the presidents summons, Serre-
tary Blaine coming over from his
house and Secretary Tracy from the
navy department. When Secretary Tracy
emerged from the White House he refused
to make any statement whatever respecting
the Gillian correspondence, on the ground
that the department of state had the matter
in hand. Secretary Blaine appeared to be
in good spirits when he came out of the
White House. He had nothing to say about
Mr.. Egan's message. Soon after o'clock
an official statement of the contents
of Minister Egan's dispatch was made
public. 1t read Us follows: THE depart
ment of state received this morning 4 tele-
gram from Minister Esan dated Santiago,
october Is, in which he gives the following
as the reply of the Chilian government 10
the presidents telegram OF October *, ask
ing PREPARATION for the recent murder of
American sailors in the streets of Valpa-
raise.
The minister Of foreign affairs replies
that the government of the United States
formulateS demands and advances threats,
that without being cast back with acrl-
mOny, are not acceptable nor could they lie
accepted in the present case or in any other
of like nature. He does not doubt the
sincerity, the rectitude or the eXpertneSS of
the investigation on board of the Baltimore,
but will recognize only the jurisdiction
and authority of his own country to judge
and punish the guilty III Gillian territory.
He says the administrative and judicial
authorities have been investigating the
affairs, that judicial investigation under
Gillian law is secret and the time has not
vet arrived to make known the result. When
that time does arrive he will communicate
the result, although he does not recognize
any other authority competent to judge
criminal cases than that established by the
CHILEAN people. Until the time arrives to
disclose the result of the investigation, he
cannot admit that the disorders III Val
paraiso or the silence of his department
should appear as an expression of unfr;end-
illness towards the government of the
United States, or put in peril friendly rela-
tons between the countries"
EaUp to the hour when the above statement
was made public no reply had been made
to it. What will be the nature of Secre-
tary Blaine's reply is altogether matter
of conjecture. The most plausible theory
advanced is that the suggestion cour-
teously and automatically conveyed
in Acting Secretary Wharton's dis
patch that his government had
no doubt an investigation would be made
and PREPARATION afforded, Will now be re-
newed in the shape of stern and formal
demand for some immediate assurance OF
proper action on the part of the junta. and
that if these are not forthcoming Minister
Egan will take passage on the Baltimore
for the United States, thus severing diplo-
matte relations between the United States
and Chill.

State Treasurer Harshaw by public state
ment from ex-C Congressman La Toilette this
morning. On Tuesday morning Mr.. Saw
yer caused the publication of carefully
prepared statement in regard to certain
meeting between him and MIR. La Toilette
about month ago, at which Sawyer claims
he proffered retainer in the case to Mr.. La
Toilette. and also requested the latter to
sound Judge Seibecker to ascertain whether
he was prejudiced against Harshaw. Ac-
cerding to Sawyer's story, La Toilette re-
fused the retainer on the ground that it
would be improper for him TO be interested
in the suit, as Judge Siebecker is his
brother-in-law.
In his communication Mr. La Toilette
pronounces the interview between him and
Sawyer given by the latter as false and T3t
a true statement OF what TRANSFERRED. He
saws he met Sawyer at the Plankinton
House in this city on the 18th of September
in response to an urgent letter from the
senator, that the latter Immediately began
TO question him in regard to Judge Sic
becker's feelings toward the defendant in
the case, Mr.. HarShaw, and that he, La
Toilette, assured Sawyer that the judge was
fair-minded man who would not let the
fact that Harshaw had opposed his appoint
ment bias his Judgment. Then according
to La Toilette he said: These cases are
awful important to US in this state and we
cannot afford to lose them. 1t costs me lots
of anxiety. | don't want to have TO pay.
manning $780, 600 or more, La Toilette is
not certain.) Now l came here to see you

ney in the case, La Toilette. and don't want
you TO go into court, but here is SO ! will

lette is uncertain which he when Sic

La Toilette says he INN, .utely after
struck him in the face and said he could
not insult him as he had insulted him then,
that he (oawyerl was endeavoring to get
him TO talk to a Judge about a case off the
bench and that he had not money enough to
employ him as an attorney after what had
TRANSFERRED. La Toilette says he gave the
whole matter careful consideration. and, on
the advice of personal friends, called the
attention of the court to the incident. The
publication of La Follettes side Of the story
creates a profound sensation in political
circles The whole matter will undoubt-

How it Was Done.



New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 29-Jack Par
ker. 4 negro section foreman on the East
Louisiana railroad, was taken from the
parish Jail in CovingtOn late last night and
hung to Il tree in the jail yard, the iynching
being done by negroes. Parker was in jail
for the murder of negro Joe Handy. who
worked on the railroad under him, and had
confessed to the crime.
He and Handy had had quarrel, he SuS-
pecting the latter Of trying to get his place,
and when they met on the railroad trestle
on October S Parker knocked Handy over
the head with club, knocking him off the
trestle and killing him. In order to destroy
all evidence of the crime, he tried to Gre
mate the body, covering it with brushwood
and pine, and set fire to the funeral pyre.
A few drops of blood, however, betrayed
him. Most of Handy's body had been re-
duced to ashes, but there was enough left
for his wife to identify the remains. Par
ker was arrested and locked UP in the par
ish Jail, at first protesting his innocence,
but afterwards he confessed the crime he
had committed, and this wrought up the
popular feeling against him and lynching
was freely discussed. The sheriff thought
the situation sufficiently threatening to take
unusual precautions, and a guard of four
armed men were stationed at the Jail to
protect it in case all attack should be made.
The talk of lynching died away, but the
guar rus were kept on uuIy ana were AT the
Jail last night, when mob of armed men
came upon them so suddenly that resist
ance was impossible. The guards were
overpowered and captured and forced to
surrender the keys. The mob entered the
jail, broke into the cell where Parker was
confined, dragged him to an oak and lynched
him. 1t was composed of negroes. this be-
ing the first successful lynching carried out
by negroes in Louisiana. They acted so
quietly that people in the immediate vi
cinity of the jail were not awakened.
