Double Death at blunt.

Blunt, S. d., April 12.-Seldom is it
given to any locality to witness a sad
der scene than that which occurred in
Blunt yesterday, the funeral of Mr..
and Mrs. Phelps Moore, formerly of
st. Paul. The couple came to Blunt
a year ago, and had just moved a
house onto a claim, preparing, as the
old gentleman frequently said, to
spend their last days, "a sunny old
age in a sunny state" Three weeks
ago Mr.. Moore was thrown from a
wagon by a runaway team and Sc
verely bruised. In caring for him his
wife was worn out and pneumonia
set in. From the first each expressed
a willingness to die if the other should
die. Mrs. Moore died first, and eigh-
teen hours later her husband followed
her. An only son from st. Paul ar
rived a few hours after their death.

peace between China and Japan have
been agreed on occasions much specu-
lation here as to the eight terms on
which Japan insists. The Japanese
officials say they have no Information
of the eight conditions. There is no
doubt. however, that five of the most
essential conditions are those given in
these dispatches at the outset of the
negotiations, viz: A new Japan
China treaty conceding Japan extra
territorial courts in China. but deny
ing the latter country extra territorial
courts in Japan: Independence of
COrea; an indemnity of about 5000
100000: occupation of Port Arthur
and Wei Hal Wei for a term of years;
ceSSion of the Island of Formosa. The
five terms are now fully confirmed by
the later developments of the confer
ence. Three additional ones have
now beer added, and these, it is be-
lieved. relate to trade matters. Which
one of these eight terms of peace is
the cause of delay is not known here.

fairs in Baracoa, which is the center
OF nearly all the banana plantations
of Northern Cuba, is assuming serious

mp work the day the Spero left and
joined the ranks of the insurgents.
The harbor Of BaraCoa is being
watched by the Spanish gunboat Els
paDa, and any further landing of
troops from the insurgent forces at
that point will probably be prevented.
One Of the Spero's passengers said
that the shooting Of the English cap
tain was an accident. as it happened
while he was being taken to Jail by
the Spanish soldiers. He was shot
through the head and instantly killed.
