Victim Of Mojave Superstition
Because of the Birth Of Twins.

Was Committed to Flames.

rible story of the wild law and supersti-
ton OF the Mojave Indians is told by J.
+. Saunders, who arrived last evening
from the Needles, a town on the Color
ado River, on the Atlantic and Pacific
railway.
The Mojave Indian reservation is about
half a mile from the Needles. and the
aborigines are virtually their own mas
tiers. having their own laws and super
stitions.
one OF the prettiest squaws of the
tribe. named Loneta, was married about
a year ago. She was comely girl,
only eighteen years old, and had picked
up some education. Her husband was
one OF the braves, and appeared to be
very fond of her.
Sunday last she gave birth TO twins,
and as result a grand pow-wow was
called. for according to the Mojave ira
dition the squaw who has twins is Il
witch and consort OF evil spirits. The
penalty has always been death for the
babies and mother.
Lonetas husband made a strong plea
for her and her babies, but 1t was Of
no avail. The two little ones were brought
forward and Drained with a club. Loneta
she suffered without complaining. Every
one of her personal belongings were gath
cred and put into her SHACK" and she
was ordered inside. She babe her hus-
band farewell and went In. The entrance
was closed, straw and brush were piled
about the frail structure and set on fire.
and In about two hours but few embers
remained.
Officers at the Needles learned the facts
too late to interfere,

TREASURY BALANCE SINKING.
Expected to Reach, This Week,
the Lowest Point Recorded.
Deficiency May BE S37, 900, 900 In
stead OF s2s, 600, 900.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The pros
poets are that during the present week
the available cash balance of the Treas
ury will reach "A figure lower than has
ever been recorded In it's history.
At the close OF business Saturday the
balance. as stated on the books of the
Treasury, was s9O. 4s7, 26S. and 1t is gem
orally expected that 1t will fall below
S9O,0oO0O0 during this week. The total
balance on the LIST inst, was s95, 199, SIS,
showing a reduction during the month
OF A,7l2,3iS. The loss. however, has
fallen more largely upon the currency
balance than upon the gold reserve.
The marked excess of expenditures
over receipts, 1t II now believed. will
show a deficiency In the revenues at the
close OF the calendar year of approx
matcly 81, 100000. Some Treasury off,
Gals look for larger customs and in
ternal revenue receipts during the last
half OF the fiscal year, believing that the
financial depression has passed. but other
officials incline to the View that imports
will be light for some time to come, and
that Secretary Carlisle Will be disap-
pointed in his estimate OF deficiency
for the year Of only s2S.OOO,OOO.

Conflict at Pernambuco.

PERNAMBUCO, Dec 26.-The inhabi-
tants of this port for some time past
have been anticipating witnessing the
most novel naval battle imaginable The
Nictheroy had been awaiting here the
coming of the rebel warships Aquidaban
and Republica, which were announced
to be on their way here with the inten-
ton Of engaging the dynamite cruiser.
The Nictheroy was at sea yesterday
hunting, it was announced. for the two
rebel ships with the purpose of forcing
them to do battle.
The inhabitants OF Pernambuco, how
ever. were astonished to see the Mic
theroy return to-day. reporting that she
had been unable to find the rebel ships.
The latter were said to have been sighted
bound for the convict settlement on the
Island Of Fernando de Noronha, to the
north of this port, and the object of
Admiral de Meilo In making for the ISL
and referred to was said to be the liber-
alton Of the convicts. who were to be
enlisted in the Brazilian insurgent ma
rine force.
1t is now said that the Nictheroy will
here await the coming Of the rebel ships
and will fight them in or about this port
From Rio de Janeiro there is little or no
fresh news to be had. The adherents of
both sides claim that their opponents are
driven to the last extremity and that
they must soon give in.
One thing Is certain. and that Is
that the people are getting heartily
tired at the monotonous course Of events,
and that some decided action upon the
part of either President Peixoto or Ad-
miral de Mello would be positive relief
to all people interested IN the Brazilian
Strupple
