grand jury which, for comprehensive

is not susceptible of Improvement. If
the jurors did not know the scope Of
the duty before them it is not the fault
Of His Honor, the Judge, that they

being TO show that brain trouble runs IN
the family and which he inherited.
Schmidt is native Of Germany and aged
36 years.
He told how he fell in with his COM
panion i'll crime, alleging his companion
hired him to work on ranch, when sit
ting on railroad track near Napa juno
ton. When in sight of the Greenwood
house defendant first learned his em-
ployer was not a rancher. He took
three pistols out of his pocket said
Schmidt, ''and two bottles, one of which
contained poison, the other something to
put man to sleep. He said he was
going to rob the Greenwood house, and
all L would have to do would be to guard
and tell him in case any one came. He
said he would kill me if | did not do as
he said, presenting revolver at my
head.n
The remainder of the story of defend
ant agrees substantially with that of
Captain Greenwood, except he says that
when Mrs. Greenwood drove to the house
his companion, who was acquainted with
her, went out and helped her out Of the
buggy, and came arm and arm up the
steps, and when she saw her husband
bound hand and foot she sprang back,
falling off the porch. "Then," said
Schmidt, forgetting my pistol was not
loaded, L thought had my companion at
my mercy, and snapped the pistol at
him.

PHGNIx (Ariz.), May PA telegram
from Guaymas, Mexico, says that on the
10th instant 200 Mayo Indians rose in re-
belllon, attacked the towns of NaVjoa
and San Ignacio, on the Mayo River, in
the District of Alamas. They marched
against the town of San Pedro but failed
IN the attack. The Mayor of Navjoa was
killed and the principal places of bust
ness sacked. AT San Ignacio the Chief of
Police and brother were killed. Several
inhabitants were severely wounded. The
inhabitants Of the town bravely rallied,
repulsing the Indians and killing four
teen.
Governor Torres was notified imme-
diately, and State troops sent in conjunc-
ton with the Federal soldiers to pursue
the insurgents. The Federal troops, con-
sisting OF portion of the Twenty fourth
Battalion and the Fourth Regiment, COM
manded in person by General Bandala,
Commander of the Department, and
General Otero, Chief Of the Mayo section,
intend 10 make a vigorous campaign
against the Indians. General Hernandez
is in charge of the State troops of Mayo.
The Indians have heretofore been peace
able, and the uprising is great surprise
1t is feared they have made an alliance
with the Iaquis, who are concentrating
all forces for prolonged fight, though
the Government officials deny any alli-
ance whatever. Unless the Mayos lay
down their arms on the approach of the
troops, "a decree of determination will be
promulgated against them, the same as
the Yaquis.
The same advice says at a recent en-
gagement with the Yaquis near Los
Pilares, Chico Huilo, Yaqui Chief,
was killed, and two of his children cap
tured.

ILL-FATED ST. CHARLES.
Survivors Narrate the Story of the
Explosion.


Explosion.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 25.-The crew of
the ship ST. Charles, blown up at sea off
the Oregon coast on the 18th inst, ar
rived here to-day on the steamer William
cite Valley. The st. Charles left Ma
naimo with a cargo of coal on May 18th.
and experienced heavy seas for three
days. On the morning of the 18th the
second mate, Mike Flynn, and Charles
Lenberg, sailor, went to the forehatch
TO get some potatoes, taking with them
the ships lantern. Louis Strandhurg. a
sailor, spoke to the men and saw the
mate pass Lenberg the lantern. Lenberg
was reaching through the hole into the
forepart of the ship and was about to
crawl through when the explosion oc-
CURED, and Flynn was lifted bodily in
the air. He fell at Strandburg's feet with
a great hole in the scalp and his legs
burned to crisp. Lenberg was thrown
back against the ladder and was terribly
cut and burned.
Strandburg's beard was singed bv the
flames, which shot from a hole following
the roar OF the explosion.
Ned kiley, a sailor, who was on deck
at the time, states that when the explo-
sion occurred ropes, hawsers and the
main hatch were hurled from the deck
by the force, and the deck opened wide
from the after-part of the house to the
stern. The spanker-boom was carried
away, the wheel-house tipped over and
the ship was generally demolished. The
rigging was on tire and the pumps would
not work.
Captain Chapman was found pinned to
the floor in his cabin under an overturned
sofa and bookcase. The Captains spine
was broken and he was in great agony.
The men eXtricated him with difficulty
from among the shattered timbers and
made haste to get into the boats, as the
vessel was sinking. There were nine
teen men, divided among three small
boats. When last seen the St. Charles
mainsail was on fire and the snip was
laundering. The boats were 200 miles
from land without compass
They succeeded in making Cape Foul
weather safely and there Captain Chap
man died. Lenberg and the second
mate, Flynn, were taken to Newport.
Or, by the survivors. who then came TO
this city. Flynn is expected to die.
The sailors believed that coal gas. ig-
nited by lantern, caused the expiosion.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Civil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt this morning
submitted to the House Civil Service
Committee copy of the letter he sent to
Postmaster-GeneralW Wanamaker on the
10th inst. In the letter Roosevelt says as
Wanamaker turned over to the committee
the report of the Postoffice Inspectors in
the Baltimore office, in which they charge
Roosevelt with unfarness and partiaiity
IN the investigation of that office, without
commen,t he (Roosevelt) must assume
that Mr.. Wanamaker assumed the re-
sponsibility for the impertinence of his
subordinates
Roosevelt said he had received no an
SWer to the letter, and was reluctantly
Obliged to assume that the Postmaster
General made these statements his own
de declined to allow the Postmaster
General to shelter himself behind his
subordlnates, and asserted that the state
mentS OF the Inspectors are sianderous
falSehoods.
The committee voted to request the
PostmaSter-General to furnish q written
copy of the report he had said the Assist
ant Attorney General had made verbally.
IN which he held that contributions to
primary elections were not political con-
trlbutlons as contemplated in the civil

tonight.
just before noon to-day two men left
by the Sheriff's posse to guard the Buffalo
Bluff bridge saw three men coming from
the south on the railroad track. The
guards called Hands up,' and the rob-
bers drew revolvers and began firing.
Guard Wiggs was slightly wounded, but
load OF buckshot from Guard Wurtse's
gun killed Robber Williams. The man
in advance ran toward Palatka and made
good his escape. The other man ran the
other way and was shot in the leg by
Wurtse as he was going.
A posse summoned from Palatka
reached the scene in an hour or so, and
began securing the woods. Suddenly
from behind the trees shot was fired,
narrowly missing DR.. Morgan Morgan
returned the shot and the man fell for
ward. He died in short time, saying
before expiring that when wounded he
had shot himself in the mouth with his
own pistol. In his pocket was letter,
written while he lay In the woods await

SAN DIEGO, May 25.-There has been a
strong current of indignation throughout
the city to-day over the destruction of
the non-unien blacksmith shop by dyna-
mite on Tuesday night. The owner of
the building was b. F. Frederick, a
prominent Democratic politician.
Schmidt, blacksmith, rented it from
him. Both men declare that they re-
celved number of threats during the
past few weeks. The persons whom they
name have, they declared, sworn to de-
stroy their shop, home and other prop
erty, and even take their lives, unless the
shop joins the Blacksmiths' Union. Fred
erlck and Schmidt say they know three
men who have maze threats, and will
prosecute the matter. This afternoon the
Blacksmiths' Union issued a circular
Offering 500 reward for the detection and
arrest ofthe perpetrators of the outrage,
and denouncing the act. This afternoon

Passenger Steamer Sunk, but the Oc-
cupants Are Rescued.
CHICAGO, May 25.-Passengers on the
steamboat Kalamazoo had a narrow es-
cape from death at an early hour this
morning. She was bound from Holland
to Chicago, and collidod in a fog with the
steamer Pilgrim, bound from Chicago to
Saugatac. The vessels met with terrible
force, the Kalamazoo being cut
down to the waters edge. The
panic that ensued was awful.
Women ran from end to end of
the boat without clothing, crying for
help. Fortunately, however, the Pill
grim, although her bows were badly
crushed, was not materially injured, and
the work of rescue began at once, she be-
ing brought broadside to the kalamazoo,
and in a short time all the passengers and
crew were safely transferred. The Pill
grim then started back for Chicago and
endeavOred to tow the Kalamazoo in, but
the steamer was so badly injured that she
filled rapidly, and in a short time had
sunk to the bottom of Lake Michigan.
Most of the passengers effects were
saved. Their escape is regarded as mirac-
ulous, and due principally to the fact chat
the lake at the time was very smooth.
Had a storm been on an appalling disas-
ter would have resulted.
