A BIG DEATH RATE.
The Grip Probably Responsible for the
Increase.

Increase.
The monthly report of Secretary Lawlor
of the Board of Health shows considera-
BILE increase in the death list. The total
number of deaths for March was 600, while

38f were males and 228 females. The prin-
cipal causes were: Consumption 100,

80, cancer 3d. There were IL casualties and
homicides. Three of the total number
were above 90years of age, 80 were under
l year, while 20 were between 20 and 80.

ARMY GOSSIP

WaSbinQfnn

CHICAGO. May 4.-The Tribune's
Washington special correspondent says:
The knowledge that MajorGeneeral
Ruger is on the whole special favorite
with the president has set the gossips in
the war department gossi ping once more
over the new assignments.
There is an undercurrent of feeling that
General Miles may not come to Washing
ton as the successor to Lieutenant-G General
Schofield and that General Ruger may
command the army in effect. if not in
name. The discussion has brought out
tho fact that there is no law to prevent
the president from calling the youngest
lieutenant in the army t. the duties of
chief command. Under the constitution
the president is made commander in chief
Of the army. The gossips say there is
nothing to prevent President Cleveland
from assigning major-general to duty at
the war department in an advisory ca
pacity, all orders for the army being is
sued 'by direction of the president.

CONFESSION OF A BANDIT
The Boy Bryant Tells How the Project

Told by the Boy

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. May 4.-W. s. Cain,
chief detective of the Alton road, who

held up the Alton train, was the first
witness examined at the coroner's in

Bryant told him that on the night Of

intention OF holding up the Alton train
and robbing the passengers.
All were armed and masked.

Dan Burns in Danger OF Losing
His Mexican Mine
A COMPANY TO BRING SUIT
Title Will Be Laid Claim TO Under
Grants OF the Past
Or. Alfred Green Is the Prime Hover In the
Proposed Controversy ship Un-
der 1exican Laws Claimed

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-Colonel Dan
Burns. ex-politician. is not going to re-
main long in undisputed possession OF
the rich La Candelaria mine in the Mex
ican state of Durango. The opinions or
prominent lawyers have been obtained
upon the rights Of ownership under the
Mexican laws, and their conclusions are
that the mine does not rightfully belong
to Burns but to the original La Candelaria
Mining company, organized III San FRAN
cisco as far back as 1863.
At the present time preparations are
being made in this CIT" to begin suit in
the highest tribunal OF Mexico for the
purpose of regaining possession OF the
mine. Burns will be the defendant. and
this time he will be compelled to main
tain tho legality of his title or forfeit the
property forever.
DR.. Alfred Green, a brother of Colonel
Green of the Mexican army. is the chief
mover in the matter. DR.. Green obtained
possession of the mine in 1862. Green
and Lewis NJ. Burson organized the Can
dearia company in San Francisco, but
there being no contract, Green and Bur
son got control of the mine. The COM
pany transferred its title to a New York
corporation, but Green claims the owner
snip of the mine under Mexican law.
This resulted in the dissolu ton of the
two companies.
Then Columb bus Waterhouse, years
afteIward. secured lease to work the
mines, with option of purchase. Burns
was sent down to superintend the mines.
and Watelhouse furnished the money for
machinery and operation. About this
time, while between fifty and one hun
dred men were working in the mine,
Burns. so it is charged in the Mexican
courts, conspired with the iefe politico
and the governor of Durango and though
they succeeded in having the mine de-
nounced as abandoned, just as soon as
the property was thus confiscated to the
state, Burns took possession personally,
and when Colum bus Waterhouse went
there later on he was told by Burns: II
own this mine."
