tlasss saloon Mani

Colo. March 14.--A special
tom lsenburg, small town fifty
~ b Iea south OF Pueblo, says A mob
ii ambush At I 80 this evening fred on
i wagon containing nine Italians who
are charged with fatally beating A. ].
lHixon, a saloon-keeper at Rouse,
mining camp six miles from Walsen-
burg, Sunday last. Four OF the Italians
and the wagon driver were killed. The
prisoners who had been lodged in the
Walsenburg Jail we're taken to the coro-
ner's inquest at Rouse this afternoon.
At the conclusion of the session the
prisoners we're loaded into wagon and
started back to Jail. At Bear creek,
region where there is much under
brush, half mile from Walsenburg,
the crack of score of rifles, presumably
in the hands Of miners, rang out. -Four
of the prisoners whose names cannot be
learned on account of the excitement,
were instantly killed. Joe Welby, a
young American boy, was driving the
wagon and was also killed. The officers
returned the fire, which lasted for sew
eral minutes. The most intense excite
ment reigns.
Walsenburg and Rouse are both off
the main line of the railroad, and at
tempts to secure further details have
failed, because the telegraph offices are
not open at night.
The work OF the mob was done to
avenge PECULIARLY brutal crime. At Z
O'Clock Monday morning two men en-
route to work at Rouse discovered A. j.
Hixon, proprietor of saloon, in dy-
ing condition about an eighth of mile
from his place of business. Hixon had
been struck on the back of the head
with blunt weapon and was uncon-
scious. He expired within an hour.
Some days ago T. j. Brewer, pit boss
of the Rouse mine, imported trained
bloodhound, which was promptly sum-
moned. The animal rushed away on
the trail, and within ten minutes seized
table leg in the rear of saloon half q
mile distant. Upon examination blood
was found on this leg. The dog then
proceeded to the saloon door, and two
men, Lorenzo Danino and Jobatto An
inc considerable anxiety to get away.
1.-TWO IuOTS ulOu3 L QUO 1eooObOb el1u OIL n
Anrico, were arrested in cabin near
by. Admissions of knowledge of the
murder were secured from two of them
on their arrest, and later they divulged
the names of seven others, who were
with them, and charged Lorenzo Danino
with the murder. Two of the parties
had started south. The officers were
Quickly in the saddle, and all of them
we're under arrest by P. M. Threats of
lynching Danino were INDUCED in dur
ing the day, and quite number of men
we're scattered along the route to Wal
senburg, but it was thought there was
scarcely possibility violence would be
attempted.
Hixon was rather popular with the
American miners, and general indigna-
ton prevails. He was an Arkansan,
late of Texas, and was SO or 38 years of
age. He was supposed to have returned
from Walsenburg on horseback about 10
P. NJ, and to have been attacked una
wares. The incentive of the murder is
problem, as Hixon was not of an
aggressive or quarrelsome disposition.

finally shipped for the West Indies. Re-

daily to complete his flying machine.

A high official authority in Washing
ton states that the so-called revolution
in Cuba is really tempest in tea
pot.o This gentleman says that the al
legged insurgents do not exceed in the
aggregate 1000 men; that they are not
patriots as the term is under stood here,
but separate bands of rowing banditti,
who have combined for unlawful pur-
poses, and who are endeavoring to give
a political color to their action by posing
as native Cubans desirious OF throwing
off the yoke OF Spain. The same author
ity states the present troubles are TO-
mented by certain Cuban adventures
in the United States, who are using their
followers in Cuba as a means to collect
money from the United States, the most
of which finds its way into their own
pockets.
1t is asserted that the 10000 Cuban
cigar makers in this country are con-
tributing SIP each of their monthly
wages to the support of the revolution.
1t is claimed that through various sources
upward of $50, 900 have been contributed
by Cuban sympathizers here, and that
while some of this money has been ex-
pended for arms and munitions of war,
most of it will be converted to the per-
sonal use of the men who are instru-
mental in collecting it.
An unqualified denial is given to the
report that the encouragement OF
Cuba, Senior CALICO, is to be recalled
and his Office filled by another gentle
man, who will be become practical
dictator. Senior CALICO has, it is said,
given entire satisfaction to the Spanish
cabinet, and there is not the slightest
probability that he will be removed.
