Sanders Army Convicted.

On Monday the jury returned vcr-
dict finding Sanders commonweal
army guilty as charged in the informa-
ton.
When the news of the verdict was
conveyed to the camp Of the common
wealers on the military reservation,
quite commotion was raised. The
prisoners became excited and a rush
for liberty was made. The deputy
marshals took after two men, firing on
them, hitting and bringing down a
man, who afterwards crawled away in
the brush. During the confusion
nearly forty of the convicted wealers
made good their escape. Company f,
Sixth cavalry, was called from Fort
Leavenworth and the remaining pris-
oners surrounded and brought to
Leayenworth for safe keeping until
sentenced. The convicted men will
be divided into squads and sent to To
peka, Lawrence, Kansas City, Kansas,
and Atchison, to serve what sentence
is given at the jails in those places.

The steamer Belgic arrived on the
18th with fuller details Of the black
plague now raging at Hong Kong. De-
spite the operations Of the sanitary
staff and the police, assisted by the
army medical staff corps, and soldiers
from the Shropshire regiment, about
500 new cases had been reported with
in a week, and there had been 400
deaths.
Heavy rains about the middle OF
Nay were hailed as q great blessing,
The water supply had been nearly e1-
hausted. The drains Of Hong Kong
were filed with poisonous gases, the
plague had been spreading in the most
densely populated part Of the city,
and, to cap the climax, an outbreak
of smallpox was dreaded.
The rains cleaned some Of the
drains, and the authorities redoubled
their efforts to stamp out the plague.
They were encouraged for time by
the cooperation Of the Chinese them
selves.
House-to-house visitation in search
of victims Of the plague was kept up
by the police, but they were unable to
get through the crowded houses of the
infected districts with sufficient celeri.
ty to overtake all the cases. Soldier.
were consequently detailed to assist
in the unpleasant task. Increased
vigilance revealed greater number of
patients.
The increased yirulence and the dis
covery of greater number of cases
aroused the cnmity of the Chinese,
who had for a short time appeared will
ing to cooperate with the authorities
on the bringing to light all known
cases of the plague. This willingness
diminished, probably on account Of
the heavy proportional mortality which
accompanies the disease. Attempts
were made to evade the inspection.
Sick persons were removed from house
to house at the approach of the police,
houses were barricaded and in few
cases the officers were stoned by the
infuriated Chinese. Owing to these
difficulties the epidemic gained re-
newed virulence.
News from Canton, where the plague
started, state that the deaths now aver
age 200 day. During March and
April they averaged 500 daily. AL
though the fact that the BLACK death"
was raging in Canton became known
only about a month ago, it appears
that the disease started as long ago as
last February, and has been epidemic
ever since. The plague is spreading
to the country districts about Canton
and to ncighboring cities.
About the only measures taken in
Canton to stay the progress of the dis
ease are those adopted by the priests,
who march through the streets chaut-
ing incantations and sprinkling holy
water. a huge mass representing
dragons head is also carried about the
city, accompanied by prodigious
beating Of gongs and drums.
A foreign missionary resident in
Canton made systematic inquiries,
which he AYERS show that up to the 9Th
instant at least 10000 people have
been carried off
The plague is said to be the same as
that which depopulated London in
1868. Persons attacked by it usually
die in few hours. 1t is caused by
filth.

A Nehrnska CYclons.

The northern part of Sioux county,
Nebraska, was visited Sunday by a
cyclone, which was terrible in its
severity, but comparatively small in
its territory. 1t was about twenty
rods wide and five miles in length.
Everything in It's path was swept from
the earth. A log fourteen feet in
length and fifteen inches in diameter
was picked up and carried distance
of sixty rods Tho barns, sheds,
wagons and implements Of D. w.
Woody were completely demolished,
and ten rods of wire fence were swept
clear. Rufus Woody and his horse in
a shed we're picked up and carried
through the open roof and landed
again about 200 feet away. Neither
received any serious damage, although
Woody's face was considerably bruised
by the flying sand and gravel and his
clothes torn from hin.

Taken Hack to Denver.

The industrial army when at Jules
burg on the 14th, made desperate at
tempts to get out of town on train.
They broke into the round house FRI
day morning and, taking out an en-
ginc, made up train. Just as they
started out switch was thrown and
the engine and one car derailed Thoy
were unable to get them on the track
again. The railway employees took the
rest of the engines out Of town. The
army then began to split, up. Gen
eral' Adams hired two teams to haul
the grub, and with rs followers started
overland for Venago, Nebraska, 20
miles away, where they will strike the
Burlington & Missouri, and try to get
train out on that road. The Utah
men and some others, numbering about
$50 men, camped by the river to wait
for General Cartcrs men, who are com
ing down the river with forty. y.or, fifty
boats and about 100 men. The re-
mainder of the men, numbering 200
or 800, have been selling supplies, con-

A desperate battle took place last
Sunday evening on the road between
Tahlequah and Wagner between Dep
uty Sheriff Gourd and the Cook gang
Of outlaws. Sequoyah Houston, one
of the sheriff's posse, was killed, and
one Of the outlaws, Bob Martin, was
captured Several others of the sher-
ifs posse were wounded, some of them
fatally. Cook and all but one of his
gang escaped.
Since the killing Of Bill Dalton the
Cook gang is now considered the most
desperate of the territory outlaws.
They were intent upon robbing stage
load of people on their way home from
the big Cherokee payment at Table
quah when Deputy Gourd and his
posse rau them down.

EXPLORING LABRADOR.
A. American Expeditfo. to Leave
for the Grand River in June.

Al American Expedition to Leave
for the Grand River IN Jsne.
Among the several expeditions this
year which have for their object north
ern exploration, the one which has De-
culiar interest is that headed BY Mr..
Charles Il. Hite, of the University Of
Pennsylvania, to Labrador Mr.. EIite,
although young man, hss had .
wide experience In expedition work,
both ns pupil and assistant Of Prof.
Dyche, and as taxidermist of the Peary
relief party of 1892
His present venture. which goes un-
der the auspices of the geographical
club. is one which is com man,ling wide
attention from other geographical insti-
tutions, and 1t will leave this city about
the last of June In DIR. Cooks whaling
vessel. the Newfoundland. His party
will consist of ten men. seven of whom
have already been chosen.
At Rigolet, on the lower coast of
Labrador. the party will dlsembnrk and
proceed up Booth bay to tile mouth of
the Grand river. Here the expedition
VIII be divided into two parts-one.
consisting of four men, will explore the
make large natural history collections
for tho various scientific associations
In this country. In the meantime the
rest OF the party, under Mr.. Aite, will
push up the river to the Grand falls,
visited In 1901 by Mr.. Henry @. Bry.
ant of this city. These falls will be def
inltely located. and the direction of the
expedition after that will be then de-
termlned by the movements of Mr..
Low. who is now at Rigolet for explor-
alton purposes under the direction of
the geological survey of the Dominion
OF Canada. If that gentleman, when
Mr.. Hite reaches the Grand falls, has
preceded him and gone over the inter
ior tablelnnds of Labrador to the west
coast. Mr.. Hite will return with his
companions down the Grand river to
the Mistnssini river, and endeavor to
ascend the Inter to II supposed lake
which Is thought to be Its source and
that OF the river st. Johns. Should
this proved to be the case, and the lake
be reached, Mr.. Hite and his compan-
ions will descend the st. Johns to the
st. Lawrence river, where they will
await the return of DIR. Cooks expedI-
tion to North Greenland.
Should 1t be ascertained .ha. Mr..
Low has not assembled to the Grand
Falls and taken the west route 1t Is the
intention Of Mr.. Hite to take the route
himself and explore the great unknown
tablelands and the chain of lakes re-
ported to exist there, and then return
to Rigolet and reJoin the rest Of the
party, who In any event are to be pick
ed up by DR.. Cook on his return voy-
age.
The entire outfit. including canoes and
supplies, Is to be supplied in this city,
and whichever OF the two routes Mr..
Hite should choose at the Grand Falls,
1t is believed the results will be Of
great value to geographical science.

ALL QUIET AT CRIPPLE CREEK.
General Brooks Emphaticaiiy Declares
that He VIII Protect Everybody.
Mines Starting Up.

About half the militia was released
from service at Cripple Creek on the
14th and sent home. Those most anx
ious to return to their business were
sent home. They were obliged to
walk to Colorado Springs, as the Mid
land refused to haul them until its
former bill for transportation was paid.
The out-g going troops took with them
twenty one prisoners who were placed
in Jail at Colorado Springs.
Rumors we're circulated Friday that
several miners had been warned out of
camp. General Brooks said that all
any man has to do who has been inter
fercd with in any Of his lawful rights
by union or non-union miners is to re-
port the fact to him, and he declared
in the most emphatic language that if
he could, by any means in his power,
learn the name Of the guilty party he
would arrest him il it required the full
strength of the National Guard to do
