Cuban bandits, and we are not disposed to
be ruined by tendency toward the rule
of barbarism."
Gen. Campos answered as follows: What
can 1 reply to the noble words OF Senor
Guzman in behalf of the three parties? 1
congratulate myself on the unity of the
political parties, and / entreat you at this
moment not TO forget what What should hd D. be the

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-The police relaxed
In no degree their vigilance in watching the
saloons to-day in their efforts TO prevent
violation OF the excise law. As has been
the case on all Sundays since the crusade

opportunities TO gain entrance to saloons
where business was being transacted. 1t

class. are making any attempt to violate
the law. Sunday liquor selling, he said, Is
no longer profitable.

Vests friends have been threatening
something ever since Tom West was killed
by Deveres three weeks ago. Mrs. West
had three children The two. who are young
women, are said to have been driven from
the West home when Deveres came there to
tives recently. Excitement is intense and 1t

ters, having had his life threatened by L.
j. West on the charge of intimacy with his
wife, killed West three weeks ago and was
exonerated by the court. Deveres's elder
daughter died and was buried three days
ago, and from the grave Deveres went
with his other daughter. Carrie. ten years
moved all his effects there. This caused
excitement, which resulted in a mob of
twenty-five masked men. calling at the
house last midnight and demanding to see
Deveres. Mrs. West came to the door and
said she was soon TO be confined and begged
them in the name Of humanity to go away.
The mob first fired shots in the air and the
woman went into the house. Deveres came
to the window and expostulated, but was
answered with volley. Then Carrie De-
veres. the ten-year-o.d daughter. who was
on the outside, pleaded piteously not to kill
her father. A pistol was thrust in her
face, and, half frightened to death. she ran
to negro cabin a half mile away and
there remained the rest of the night. When
brought here to-day she was dazed and
unable to tell a coherent story. She said
the house was fired and the mob saw
through the windows the man and woman
battling the flames and fired at them. At
last Deveres ran out. his hair and clothing
on fire, and with his single revolver at
tackled the mob. He was soon riddled with
buckshot and pistol balls. The woman was
found in the chimney to-day with her legs

policy looking to war between the United
States and England. He said Those who
are stirring up this war scare are covering
themselves with a mask OF patriotism. be-
hind which is hidden nothing but bluster
and pomposity. Around, below and beneath
this so-called patriotism is scheme to en-

4 WEIGHTY MATTER.
The Santa Fe Must Get the Atlantic
g. Pacific
At THE FORECLOSURE SALE

Or Build a New Road to the Coast
General RAILROAD News of Interest
in Kansas.
Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, the fore
closure case of the Atlantic & Pacific
railroad, involving the sum of SIG, 100000
comes up for hearing before Judge N.
c. Collier in the United States district
court
The title of this case is the United
States Trust company VS.. The Atlantic &
Pacific Railroad company ct AL, and is
one of the most important legal trans
actions now pending among western
railroads, affecting as it does TO great
extent the future movements of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe system.
Among the attorneys engaged TO argue
the case are e D. Kenna, l. f. Parker.
Robert Dunlap. II. L. Waldo and Judge
Sterry for the railroad aud F. Nj. Jen-
niugs and N. B. Field for the trust com
pany, the expectation being that u decis-
ion will be given early in the following
week.
A special dispatch to the Denver Re-
publican from Santa Fe, New Mexico,
yesterday stated in a concise manner the
status of the case, containing the follow
ing information:
The trust company has filed excep-
tions to defendants answer in the former
suit, on the ground that said answer does
not pertain to the real matters at issue.
Arguments are to be heard on this point
The courts decision on these exceptions
will practically determine whether or
not there will be an Immediate sale
under foreclosure of the Atlantic &
Pacific road to satisfy the first mortgage
bondholders, represented by the United
States Trust company. If the sale is
ordered doubtless this interest will see
to it that the price will reach Esome-
where near $16,50O,O0O which would
give them par value for bonds they
bought at a song and permit them to
make pile of money out of the transact
ton. Naturally the Santa Fe wants the
Atlantic s. Pacific, but is hardly pre-
pared to pay SIC. 100000 for it. Should
the road by any hook crook fall into
hands of other than the Santa Fe the
latter road would be forced to fall back
on its reorganization committees plan
and float $4,000, 600 of new bonds to
build an independent line from the Rio
Grande to the Pacific coast Thus great
questions are involved which are attract
ing wide attention.
1t is tho belief in Santa Fe circles in
this city that if the sale of the road is
ordered, there is no doubt that the Atch-
ison, Topeka s. Santa Fe system will
procure the funds necessary for the pur
chase.
