SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec 26.-A
startling report reached here early Fri
day morning from Fort Mcintosh tnat
Capt Francis Hardie of the Third
cavalry and his detachment of fifty
men met an armed force Of Garza's fol-
lowers near Carriso Tex, Thursday,
and in the engagement that ensued
fourteen of the United States
soldiers were killed. No official
confirmation of the report has
s,een received at the department head
quarters here. Gen. Stanley has been
eXpectantly awaiting some word from
Capt Hardie all day, but no communi-
cation has been had with him for
three days. 1t is known that he is in
pursuit of a detachment of the revolu-
tonists, and, if the bloody event oc-

administration of President Diaz he
would then insist that part of Texas be
added to Mexico. He has also told his
men that if they can't get supplies any
where else when in Texas, they can
capture Fort Ringgold and find plenty.
The Mexican government is rushing
troops to the frontier, about 6, 900 Mex.
lean soldiers being stationed along the
border between Neuva Laredo and
Matamoras. Among this number is
President Diaz's favorite regiment, the
Fourth cavalry, which is pronounced
the best regiment in Mexico. Gov
Hogg has sent detachment of ranger
to the scene of trouble and they viii
aid the military authorities in sup
pressing the uprising.
President Diaz has written Gen
Stanley asking him for his cooperation
in suppressing the revolutionists thi

excitement all over the state over thi
matter, and this is especially alarmin,
on both sides of the Rio Grande, wher
the lives and property of citizens ar
jeopardized.

VALPARAISO, Dec. 28-At the inau-
guration ceremonies of Chili's new pres
ident, Admiral Jorge Montt. at Santiago
Saturday, all the foreign ministers
were present with exception of the
United States representative, Mr.. Egau.
His absence caused much comment
in diplomatic circles. No explanation
has been given for his appearance.
The inauguration took place in the
presence of vast and enthusiastic
assemblage. Everything passed off
quietly, despite the ugly rumors
prevalent for some days past
that the occasion would be
seized upon by the Balmacedists as a
favorable opportunity for an outbreak
and attempt to assassinate the new
chief magistrate. Ii any such plan had
been in contemplation the imposing
military display by the authorities evil

STRIKERS GIVE UP.
End of the Labor Troubles in the Indiana
Coal Fields.

Coal Fields.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. 25.-The
striking coal miners of Indiana have
suffered defeat The struggle for in
creased wages inaugurated nearly two
months ago has failed and the men
will return to work Immediately. This
course was decided upon by delegate
convention held in this city Thursday.
The meeting was called to order in
Grand Army hall at 10 o'clock by State
President Commisky, not one of the
national officers being present. The
chairman announced that after grave
consideration of the situation confront
ing the strikers the officers had de-
termined that it would be unwise and
disastrous further to prolong the un-
equal strife, and he asked for an ex-
preston from the representatives as to
what they thought of the matter.
The delegates from the bituminous
districts were disposed to quarrel with
the movement to retreat, but those
from the block field said that their
men in various quarters had become so
dissatisfied with the little aid being eX-
tended by the organization that they
feared serious break would occur very
soon if they were not authorized to re-
turn to work en- masse.
This settled the question. If the
miners in the block field were deter
mined to bolt in case the strike was

left but to declare it off. Adjourn
ment was taken at noon for dinner
and to await the arrival of the nation.
al vice president, Parma. The latter
was not on hand at 1850 o'clock and the
delegates reconvened without him.
A vote was taken and it resulted
favorably to returning to work. A
committee was sent to confer with j.
Smith Tallcy and ascertain if the mer
would be allowed to resume at the. old
figures, seventy cents per ton in the
bituminous and seventy-tive cents il
the block. Mr.. Talley replied affirm a

port to that effect and the strike wa.
formally declared off. The men will

An Italian Miner Kills Two Companions
and Is Himself Slain.

GEORGETOWN, Col, Dec. ga seri-
GUS shooting affray occurred near the
1880" mine Thursday night in which
three Italians were fatally shot. Marco
Peretti and wife lived within short
distance OF. the mine, and young
Italian by the name of Adamo
Chiarottini, aged 10 years, was
boarding with them. In the evening
Giuseppe Peretti, brother of Marco,
called, and during the evening Adamo
uttered some remarks which Marco did
not like, and he arose and left the house.
AS soon as he was gone Adamo shot
out the light, and began firing in the
dark, two of the bullets hitting Gui-
seppe and infiicting fatal wounds.
Marco Peretti, hearing the firing, re-
turned and attempted to enter the
house, when Adamo, who had re-
loaded his revolver, turned upon
him and shot him in the alb
aomen, killing him instantly. Adamo
then went outside of the house,
two more shots were heard, and
when the door was opened his dead
body was found. 1t was at first thought
that he had committed suicide, but as
his weapon could not be found it is
thought that he was killed by one of

BURLINGTON, Ia, Dec. 25.-It will
take round million of dollars to even
up the losses in trade to merchants,
shippers and farmers in Iowa on ac-
count of the present fearful mud
blockade, which exists not only in
Iowa but all over the Mississippi
valley. For two weeks country
roads in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois
have been hub-deep in mud and the
farming communities have been vir-
tually mudlocked on the farms. AS a
result merchants depending on country
customers have suffered immense
financial loss, especially in holiday
trade, while farmers and shippers have
lost by inability to market their prod
ucts. This serious condition of things
still continues, entailing daily loss of
fully $4,000 in Iowa 1t is feared many
failures among country merchants may

for 100000 Damages.
New YORK, Dec. 25.-The prelimi-
nary steps have been taken to bring
an action against Russell Sage for
heavy damages for having, as it is
alleged, used Brokers' Clerk w. r.
Laidlaw to shield himself when Nor
cross, the dynamiter, exploded his
bomb in Sage's office on the afternoon of
Friday, December 4. 1t is understood
that the amount of damages to be
claimed has been placed at Sl0O, 600.
The suit will be based upon the allega-
tion that the millionaire deliberately
held the brokers' clerk between him
self and the menacing dynamiter, with
the result that Mr.. Sage's life was
saved at the expense of horrible injur-
les to Mr.. Laidlaw. 1t will
be further alleged, it is under
stood. that Mr. Sage was fully aware
of the great peril in which he stood
and that when he held Mr. Laidlaw in
front of him he fully realized that he
was jeoparding the young clerks life
and that he utilized him as shield

insenslble. None of them are able
to give a clear description of the
accident, as they were all more Or
less shaken up and bruised. Edith
was apparently hurt worse than any
of the others and it was at first
thought that her spine was injured,
but at last reports she had improved
sufficiently to walk about the house
and it is believed now that she will
recover without any serious conse-
quences. The team ran about three.
fourths Of mile, making a complete
wreck of the wagon, nothing being
left of it except the pole and one
wheel.

Marine band of this city at t heir meet

was occasioned by the fact that the
boys thought they could not afford to
be at the expense to which they have
been subjected for rent and other ex-
penses in return for the very small
patronage which they would receive
during the summer. Then, two, they
need more members before they can
give as good music as they would wish.

proper manner this can be done and
the enviable reputation which this band
has earned will be fully sustained and

FOOD AND DAIRY COMMISSION.

TWO ESSENTIALS FOR BAKING POWDER THAT
WILL MAKE PERFECT BREAD.
The late report of the Minnesota State
Food and Dairy commission contains the re.
suit of series OF experiments made by Prof
G. w. Drew, chemist, to determine the
strength and keeping qualities Of the vari-
GUS baking powders.
Phe report attaches great Importance to
these experiments. Baking powders that
vary in strength, or that readily lose strength
before use, are unreliable and will not give
even results besides, it is an indication of
the use of improper ingredients i'll their
compounding. The tests showed the
strength of leavening power of the Royal
very much greater than that of the others.
The uniformity of strength of all the samples
of Royal tested, no matter what nheir age,
was remarkable. Its leavening power was
practically unimpared even in the Oldest
specimens. The difference in the amount of
leavenlng gas in different samples of the
other brands was SO great as to seriously
impare their usefulness in baking. As much
as "a per cent. loss was found in samples
few months old. All the samples of Royal
examined by state chemist Drew were re-
ported OF satisfactory strength and quality.
DR.. Drew states that the "Royal'' being
of greater strength than any other, and
possessing better keeping qualities, it is the
natural conclusion that it is the best balng
powder made.
