Frank Davenport was 10 from Ha-
chita Friday and told Of the mysteri-
Gus death OF Jack Glenn last week.
Young Glenn was working for Rector
and went out as usual one morning 70
his work, but did not come back at
night. The next day a hunt was made
for him and bis dead body was found
by the side OF his horse, tho rope was
tied around the horses neck and a
couple Of turns were taken around
Glenn's body. There was no appear
ance Of the body being dragged BY the
horse. The coyotes bad been at the
body and had eaten out the lntestlnos.
The men who found the body came 10
the conclusion that Glenn had got on
his horse for some eason and that
while on the ground the horse had
kicked him aud the kick had caused
his death. Davenport has a different
theory regarding the cause Of the
death. He v knew OF a coyote
eating a newly killed body, unless
there was blood on IL. II Glenn was
killed by a kick in the stomach the
chances are there would be no blood.
II he had been shot In the stomach
there weuld have been blood. AS for
a reason for his being shot, he might
have seen some person using a brand
ing iron illegally and been killed 70
prevent his being a witness. 1t is not
the first time a person has been killed
on that range for that very reason.
The murderers Of young Hodgdon pre-
vented his being a witness and they
arc still at large. 1t is probable, how
ever, that young Glenn's death will
always be a mystery.

ST. JOHNS, NEwFoUNDLAND Oct. g.
H. M. s. Buzzard, which arrived here to-
day, brought intelligence of the depreda-
tions of pirates on the coast of Labrador
and Western Newfoundland. During the
last two years large number of vessels
have been attacked and held up on the
high seas by small swift-sailing schooners,
and after everything of value had been
confiscated allowed to proceed. The YES
sells usually attacked were fishing vessels
and homeward- bound sealers and whalers.
The pirates did not interfere with regular
Atlantic traffic.
The sources of complaint became so fre-
quent last year that the Canadian Govern
ment called on the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs to have several men-of-
war sent to the spot to rout out these
piratical vessels. This prompt action and
the capture OF several of the best t-known of
the leaders put stop to the nuisance for a
while. This year. however, the pirates
have returned to their old haunts once
more and since June the number of cases
OF robbery reported to the Government
officials has amounted to nearly fifty.
Several fishing vessels which have to-
tally disappeared, and which were generally
supposed to have been lost in the heavy
gales have, the customs officers now declare,
fallen into the hands of these pirates and
the crews either killed or are prisoners on
some OF the small islands of the Labrador
coast.
The depredations have been by no means
confined to the sea exclusively, as those
people living on the coast have suffered
severely. Hardly small fishing village
or hamlet on the coast has escaped loot
ing. The bands are made up mostly of
fishermen who have been driven to this
business owing to the hard seasons In the
fishing and sealing trade during the last
few years. With them are large mum Der
of ex-convicts, while many deserters find
their way to the pirates ranks.
The Buzzard will at once set out on her
mission to destroy these piratical lairs,
and orders have also been sent to the home
Government to order several more cruisers

.FOUNDERED IN A GALE,
The Steamer Africa Thought
to Have Gone Down in
Lake Huron.
Its Lifeboat Cast Upon the
Beach After the Vessel
Disappeared.

STOKES BAY, ONT, Oct. 9.-On Mon
day evening the steamer Africa of Owen
Sound, coal laden, having in tow the
barge Severn of Toronto, also coal-laden,
was proceeding up Lake Huron, bound for
Owen Sound, when, owing to heavy
weather, she was compelled to let the
Severn go. The Severn being stripped oi
canvas. had to run before the gale until
Loyal Island was reached, when she went
on the beach and now lies total wreck.
Members of the crew who were saved by
some fishermen after being in the rigging
twenty hours, say that soon after be-
ing cast off by the Africa the latter vessel,
which had been rolling heavily, suddenly
disappeared, and they think she went
down with all on board.
The names of the officers and crew of the
Africa are: H. P. Larson, captain, To-
ronto; William Anderson, mate, Owen
Sound; Matt Haze, chief engineer, To-
ronto; Ed Forest, second engineer, To-
ronto; William Mann, wheelsman, To-
ronto; John King, Oakville, Ont. Miss
Lee, cook. Toronto; two iremen and two
deck hands, names unknown.

BOSTON, MASS, Oct. "a special to
morning paper brings some important in
formation regarding the condition of the
rebellion IN Cuba. 1t was received directly
from person who is in constant contact
with General Campos. The dispatch says:
General Campos has given up all hopes of
ever being able to reconquer Cuba. This
is intimated in his report, which was sent
to the home Government to-day. He has
requested the Government not to send any
more troops to the island and has asked
for the withdrawal of those already there
as soon as practicable.
In this report Campos gives an elaborate
description of the progress of the war thus
far and points out the utter impossibility
OF defeating the insurgents with the tao
tics which they are employing at present.
tits impossible to secure an open battle,
as they remain in their mountain fast
nesses and swoop down on the surround
ing country without fear. In addition the
fever is raging, so that it is rapidly thin
ming out the ranks of the Spanish troops.
During September four small skirmishes
were fought, in each of which the Spanish
troops were successful. but their losses far
surpassed those of the rebels. General
Tarida, the son of the Governor of Valen-
cit, was killed in skirmish on the 14th.
The loss of officers has been very heavy,
and it has been found necessary 10 create
many new ones from the ranks. The
whole eastern part of the country is in the
hands of the rebels, with Puerto Principe
as headquarters.
In spite of the constant vigilance of the
Government vessels carrying arms and
munitions of war are being sent in daily.
All reports that the rebels had held their
elections are untrue, as no elections will
be held until the close of the struggle.
General Campos has been summoned to
Havana for the purpose of discussing the
war with the Governor General, and the
feeling is that the folly of continuing the
struggle will be shown to the home Gov
ernment. The rebels have three large
armies in the field, all equipped and ready
to fight, while through the ravages of
disease and battle General Campos could
not take the field for another three months,
Some important engagements are expected
during the coming week, as the entire
western and eastern divisions will make
determined attack on all the remaining
Spanish strongholds in the east.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, CUBA, Oct 1,
via Key West, Fla. Oct. "a party of
| twenty young men of the most prominent
families of this city left for the field last
night, well provided with rifles and am
munition and a large quantity of provis-
ions and medicines. These young men,
who have been working quietly for the
revolution here, decided to continue their
labors in the field, as they had been in
formed against by a Spaniard who was
working with them at first.
Now that the Spanish Government has
begun to imprison respectable men in all
parts of the island, many sympathizers and
many who are working in the cities are
leaving to join the ranks of the insurgents
in the field, preferring to be there rather
than to run the risk of imprisonment.
The financial and commercial situation
of Cuba is growing worse every day and the
Spanish merchants are much discouraged.
There is great enthusiasm, however,
among the Cubans. They are very hope
full, and they speak OF their ultimate tri-
umph as a certainty, while the Spaniards
plainly see the victories the rebels obtain
over them in the engagements, in spite of
the claim of the official reports, and they
are well aware of the sympathy that the
American people have for the cause of
Cuban independence. The Cubans hope
that this sympathy sooner or later will re-
suit in strong and opportune help to the
cause.
Those who argued that the Cubans
could not be recognized as belligerents be-
cause they needed to have regular Gov
ernment acting were surprised to learn
that a Government had been organized
and the fundamental laws of the republic
of Cuba were formally proclaimed Of
ficiai confirmation of this news has been
received here, and also that the inde-
pendence of the island of Cuba was
solemnly declared on September % at

HONOLULU, HAWAII, Oct. 2.-Chol-
era cases to date, elghty-seven; deaths,
sixty-one; reported soon after be-
ing taken sick, fifty-two; when dying,
nineteen; after death, sixteen; completely
recovered, twenty-three; in the hospital,
noTie. The nationalities of the above cases
are: Native Hawaiians, seventy-six; part
Hawaiian, four American, three; Portu-
guese, two; Chinese, one; Japanese, one.
The last case reported was on Saturday,
Septem Der 2S and there was one case on
the previous Gay which ended fatally.
These two cases are the only ones which
have occurred since the 18th, and had they
not happened quarantine and. everything
connected with the recent epidemic would
have been ended. AS it is, the present
stringent regulations will be kept up for
another week or so.
Monday was a day of general cleaning up
in this city, and it was hoped 1t would be
the wind-up OF the cholera business.
Nearly all the stores were closed, and even
the newspapers took a holiday, so that
every one could help. All the infected
districts were cleaned up by gangs of men
under the direction of the citizens sani-
tary committee, and some 1900 whitewash
brushes were used during the day. The
Chinese and japanese quarters were thor
oughly whitewashed. People all over the
city were required to put in the day clean
ing and burning up rubbish and airing
their clothing. By Tuesday night every
thing was done, and the city was cleaner
than it has been in thirty years.
On Wednesday the citizens sanitary
committee held their last meeting and de-
cided to let the Board of Health take the
future responsibility. The house-to-house
visitation by subinspectors of the commit
tee was discontinued, and one paid in
spector put on for each of the tHenty-one
districts into which the city was divided
by the committee.
During the reign of the sanitary COM
mittee complete census of the city was
obtained, showing the present population
of the city of Honolulu to be 28,061, or
several thousand more than was expected.
The nationalities are represented as fol-
lows: Hawaiians 10,419, Chinese 1922,
Japanese 2069, Portuguese 3845, other
foreigners 4206.
The last two cases of cholera have pretty
effectually demonstrated that the cholera
here is caused by the contaminated water
of the Nuuanu stream. The first was
taken from house directly over the
stream, and underneath the house the
