NEGROES WELL TREATED.
No Foundation for the Stories
of Great Brutality in
Mexico.
Colonists Imported From Alabama
and Georgia Are Working
Faithfully.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 6.-The
State Department is in receipt of a dis
patch from Jesse W. Sparks, Consul at
Piedras Negras, OH the colony of negroes
brought from Alabama and Georgia last
February to Tlahuatila, Mexico.
1t appears that W. H. Ellis, colored
man under contract with the owners of a
large tract of land near Tlahuatila, i'm
ported the negroes to farm the lands.
Some of them have since made their way
to Piedras Negras and complain of bad
treatment.
Reports have appeared in American
newspapers that some of the colonists from
the farm were pursued and thirty-two
were shot down, while the survivors were
captured and taken back to the colony and
subjected to harsh treatment.
The ConsuPs investigation has shown
this story to be almost wholly without
foundation. Forty of the colonists did
leave the colony. Twenty of them re-
turned in safety. Twenty-one men and
women who insisted on going ahead have
not been traced, but some Of them have
reached the United States and it is prob
able they spread reports of the death of
those who returned to the colony.
Charles Paul Mackie, an American who
investigated the affair, corroborates this
statement and declares that the colonists
are receiving good treatment.

CRAZED BY AN ILLNESS.
The Invalid Becomes DeS-

Slow Recovery.
TAKES A DOSE OF LAUDANUM.
He Is Unconscious When Found,
and Dies Without Regaining
His Senses.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAL, July GA
pail of gloom has been cast upon Paraiso
Springs, the pretty summer resort near
this city, by the suicide of Ex-Governor E.
A. Stevenson of Idaho. The tragedy was
enacted early this morning, and the un-
fortunate man was found in an uncon-
scious condition at 5 o'clock. He fingered
until o'clock this afternoon.
Ex-Governor Stevenson arrived at Paraiso
Springs on June 5, accompanied by a
servant. He was afflicted with sciatica
and was in a helpless condition, but had
been gradually improving, and during the
past few days was able to walk about some.
His physicians were confident that he
would in time fully recover his health.
During the past three days the ex-Gov-
ernor had been very respondent, and
remained in his room. Last night his
nurse left him at 10 o'clock. 1t is pre-
sumed that a return of his pain caused
him to resolve upon his own destruction.
Toward morning he took dose of lauda-
mum, and the deadly drug had well nigh
ended his existence when he was discov-
cred. DR.. Parault of San Francisco re-
sorted to every expedient known to medi-
cal science to counteract the effects of the
poison, but his efforts resulted only in pro-
tracing life until late in the afternoon.

trotting mare, Bethel, under the name of
Nellie Kneebs," says that Kneebs has
been expelled from all of the American
courses.
Considerable surprise has been caused
here by story printed in the Chicago
papers of the marriage of Miss Rose Mar
ston, an heiress of that city, to a German
of enormous wealth styled "Baron Ru-
dolph Schutzeb bar Milchling," owning the
estate of Hohenhaus, near Berlin. The
story of the marriage may be,true, but if it
is true the bridegroom is a fraud There
is no German nobleman of that name, nor
is there any estate called Hohenhaus, near
Berlin.
The Fourth of July was celebrated here
by fifty Americans. who dined together in
the Central Hotel. Mrs. William Walter
Phelps, widow of the former United States
Minister to Germany. entertained the per-
sonnet of the United States Embassy, her
son-1n-law, Count Rottenberg, and other
prominent persons at dinner on the Fourth
at the Bristol Hotel. Mrs. John Symmes
gave an "at home" at her residence, which
was crowded with Americans resident in
Berlin. The United States embassy, the
American consulate and the American
shipping offices were covered with the
United States flags, but there was no pub
lie or united celebration of the day.

SHOT DOWN BY MEX|CANS,
An American Citizen Executed
Without the Formally
of Trial.
Robert Tribolet's Brother VIII APP
peal to the State Department
for Redress.

PHOENIX, ARIz., July g. - Albert
Tribolet returned to-day from Fronteras,
Mexico, where he has been to investigate
the shooting of his brother, Robert
Tribolet, on June 26. The latter had been
taken from prison, where he had been
incarcerated on suspicion of completely in
the murder of Stage-driver Moreno two
weeks before, and, without the formality
ola trial, was shot to death by party oil
Mexican soldiers. No relatives or friends
were allowed to be with him or talk with
him during his brief confinement, though
the prisoner vainly attempted to show his
innocence and that he was in his field al
home on the day OF the stage robbery and
killing.
His brother met with scant courtesy al
the hands of the Mexican authorities, and
was informed by Captain Mendes, who
had been both Judge and executioner
that Robert had been shot because a horse
ridden by one of the robbers had upon il
the Tribolet brand.
The deceased was an American citizen
and his death leaves his large family
almost destitute. His brother will appeal
to the State Department at Washington
for redress.

the Democratic nomination for Governor,
but met defeat by a slight majority in the
election which marked the wave of Repub-

clubhouse and a physician was SIM
moned. 1t was found that his left leg was
broken below the knee, both bones being
literally shattered. The unfortunate man
was removed to the County Hospital, and
it is thought that amputation of the
injured member will be necessary.
The casualty occurred in the laundry
room, which is located just west of the
public house. Gunther was refilling a ten
gallon zinc tank. There is gauge over
the pipe from which the tank was being
refilled. The tank was tested for 400
pounds pressure, but it is thought fully
1000 pounds pressure was allowed to exert
itself in the tank when the explosion &C.
Cured.
The mans attention did not seem to be
fixed upon what he was doing, for he evil
IDENTIFY had not looked at the gauge.
There was piece OF copper protruding
from the tank, which served as handle
1t was about three inches long and about
half an inch in diameter, being just about

FOREST LAKE WIPED OUT.

Village.
A Man Who Enters a Blazing Build
Ing Has a Narrow Escape
From Cremation.

STOCKTON, CAL, July 5.-Fire broke
out in the village of Forest Lake, two
miles from Gait, at 10 o'clock last night.
The entire town, with the exception of the
residence of Mrs. Macauley, was destroyed.
A young man named Altanow was burned.
He was taken to the County Hospital at
French Camp to-day.
Altanow was sleeping in the loft of a
barn. He was awakened by the flames,
which had reached the building, and he
managed to escape. When he reached the
ground it occurred to him that his brother
was in the burning building and he rushed
back into the flames to arouse him.
The latter was not in the structure, how
ever. The young mans injuries are very
serious, but they will not prove fatal, it is
thought. His back, arms and hands were
badly burned.
Eight horses, including valuable stall
lion, were burned to death
A blacksmith-shop and a machine-shop
were among the buildings that were totally
destroyed. 1t is not known how the fire
started.

PACIFIC GROVE STUDENTS,
ChautauquanS Hear an Able
Lecture Upon the Solar
World.
Professor Barnard of Lick ObserVa-
tory Tells of the Announcements
in Astronomy.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, July 6.-The
lecture by Professor Barnard of Lick OBJ
servatory last evening was upon the ad-
vancements made in astronomy through
the aid of photography and the spectre
scope. He showed chart of the solar
spectrum, and explained the black lines
that are always found upon the spectrum.
"These lines were not understood until
experiments were produced by certain sub
stances that were burning In the sun, "
said he, land each element formed black
line in the solar spectrum. By these lines
it can be told if the heavenly body is APP
preaching or receding from US. Professor
Pickering of Harvard, who has expert
mented IN photographing the spectra of
stars, sometimes found single lines and
sometimes double. This proved that what
was thought to be single star was a
double one-one revolving around the
other. 1t would require telescope ninety
feet in diameter, which is an impossible
thing, to tell if some stars are single or
double. Galilee was the first astronomer
to observe the ring around the planet
Saturn, but now the width and depth of
these rings have been estimated"
The professor showed beautiful stere-
opticon view of an actual photograph of
Saturn and its rings. He explained that
those rings were composed of myriads of
meteors; this had been proven stereoptic-
ally. He closed his lecture by exhibiting
some wonderful stereoscopic photo
graphs of the moon, the stars, meteors and
comets, some of which were taken at the
Lick Observatory and others in Europe
and in the East by such men as Jansen of
Paris, Robinson, Keller and Roberts of
England, and some splendid ones taken
through the Lick telescope by Professor
Holden and others.
Professor Barnard stated that the lee
ture was positively his last in California,
as he was on his way East, where he con-
templated remaining.
To-day was Chautauqua field day. Every
one went to the big picnic held at Moss
