Leeds Knocked Out by Jack Everhardt

MAsPETH, L. T., March 30.-The 25-
round contest between Jack Everhardt,

Sickening Scene at Public Execution Of Five
Cubans In Havana.

Never in modern times has there
been more sickening spectacle than
that which attended the public execu.
ton of five Cubans last Friday. The
men had been condemned TO death by
the garrote as murderers, violators and
incendiaries. Troops were drawn up
in hollow square and in the middle
were placed the chair and post. Ruiz
the public executioner, had deputized
an assistant to conduct the affair. The
condemned men. having received the
offices of the church, were brought into
the square to meet their fate. One of
them had confessed his guilt and
affirmed the innocence of all the others,
who also protested that they were
guiltless. The first man to die took his
seat in the chair calmly; the iron collar
was fixed about his neck and the cap
drawn over his face
Then the eXecultioner undertook to
apply the screw, but was SO excited
that his hand slipped repeatedly, with
the result that the victim died by slew
strangulation, emitting the while the
most distressing cries The second exc
cution was accomplished with even
more distressing awkwardness and de-
lay, the executioner being almost on
the verge of collapse as he performed
his horrible function. The protest of
the officers and priests forced Ruiz to
undertake the third execution, but he
did little better than his assistant had
done. The fourth victim of bungling
garroters was likewise tortured, and
then Ruiz literally fled from his post,
leaving his assistants to put to dea tn
the fifth of the unfortunate Cubans.
who escaped none of the agonizing ex-
periences that had attended the execu-
tion of his fellows. The whole affair
has left upon those who witnessed it
and upon those to whom it has been
described feeling of the utmost hor-
ror.
1t is again reported that General
Gomez is dead. Rumors of this nature
have been persistently circulated time
after time, and this latest report is be-
lieved. Maceo is evading the pursuit
by the columns of General Linares,
Colonel Yuclan and others through
the mountains, abandoning many!

AMERICANS IN GERMAN AR
MES.

Every now and then the report comes
from Germany to the effect that natur-
.lize d American citizen of German birth
is doing service in the German army
against his will. These are cases OF
Germans who having come to the Unit
ed States without fret rendering milf
tary service return to the old country
only to find themselves forced into the
army. Referring to this the Virginia
City Enterprise says:
The German government will ordiu-
arily release such person il it is shown
that he is al American citizen, but fire.
quently men in this position are subject
ed to great annoyance and trouble. 1t
is needless to say that the harsh treat
m-nt they receive does not awaken
much love in their hearts FOR the govern
ment under which they were born.
The German go:ernment knows but
one rule and that ie severity. Ii ID 6p
iron rule, and gentleness and consider
alton for those who have violated the
law is unknown. This applies particu>
| lsrly to cases arising under the Ermy
regulations. Everything must bead or
break ia Difference to the army. So ii
has cone to be considered an offense of
the worst kind to avoid military duty,
| and OF course the more harsh the dis
cipline the less willing are young men
to perform such service.
1t would seem to be wiser policy for
the German government 10 overlook
cases Of young Germans who return to
the Fatherlsnd for short visits sitter
having escaped military duty by emf
grating to the United States. To force
such men into the army GAUGES lrrita-
ton between the two countries and
discourages emigrants of the class re-
ferred to from returning to Germany
even for the purpose of trade. The serv-
ice exacted amounts to but little-is
OF very little value to Germsny-but
the loss through the evil effects upon
commercial intercourse may be very
great.
It would be we'll for Germany to
cultivate the most friendly intercourse
possible with the United States and to
encourage German-Americans to main
tain close relations and communication

Two WEEKS since Mr.. Sam Hughes,
while returning from his stock ranch
northwest OF town, came across dead
mesquite tree upon which honey-bees
had built their combs. They bad ap>
oropriated three limbs; the center one
had evidently been the commencement
and the other two embraced in the en-
largement OF the comb. In breaking
the limbs with a view to bringing same
to town as curiosity, the two outer
ones, with comb, became detached and
we're left behind. The central limb was
brought in and can now be seen at the
Office of Dr. Fenner. 1t contains five
teart-shsped combs, 30 inches wide by
about Is inches deep, and is truly an in
terestlng feature in bee life. This,
however, is not the first instance IN
which bees have been known to build
their combs on exposed limbs OF trees.
In 1899 the CITIZEN published an &C
count of similar find by Mr.. E L..
Wetmore Cd the Rillito. As it was sum-
mer. the bees we're at work. He hived
them aud they did well. On the great
MEAS of Southern Arizona il is no easy
thing for bees to find hollow place In
which to hive, but 1t ls clearly evident
that il left to themselves they would IN
due time change their mode of life and
thus meet their environments. Birds
and animals are subject to this trans
ition and there is no reason to be
lieve that insects are not amenable to
the same conditions.

The Star treats in humorous vein

The Star treats in humorous vein
the CITIZENS comments on the wild
goose chase the Arizona militia wac sent
on, but It in no wise controverts the
position taken on the sbsurdity OF the
movement. We still MAINTAIN that a
useless and foolish expense TO the terri
tory was incurred. The battle could not
BE- fought on federal territory without
subjecting not only the principals, but
even the witnesses to the charge OF
felony, the minimum punishment OF
which is Imprisonment for one year in a
penitentisry. Further, the federal gov
eminent had announced it's determine
ton to follow viol8tors Of the law to the
uttermost ends Of it's jurisdiction. We
maintain that greater security than this
was not necessary. But aside from the
law we do not think the game was worth
the candle and we are constrained to
believe that on second consideration the
governor will agree with US. Granting
that 10 the absence OF the militia the
q hit had taken place, we maintain that
the territory of Arizona would not have
been bit better, nor q whit worse off
than II it bad been fought in Timbuctoo
To anyone familiar with the STEMS
Peak country the idea OF calling out the
militia and rushing them across the
desert to prevent q couple OF blatant
pugs paving the wind is ridiculous. But
il it was necessary then tle necessity is
still with us and will continue so long
as the fistic champions remain in Ell
Paso and the fight has not been pulled
off. We maintain that il there was dan
ger then there is danger now, and to be
consistent the militia boys should have
been kept under srme till the threaten
ing cloud of danger was passed. In New
Mexico the United States marshal was
entrusted with the peace, and more than
this was not necessary In Arizona,
particularly as Tucson is nearer to-
STEMS Peak by three hours than I'll
Paso and special could leave here with
officers two hours after train had left
Ell Paso and still have an hour on hand
to chase jack rabbits before the other
train arrived, but the trouble is that
Governor Hughes and Marshal Meade
do not speak as they pass by.

ALTHOUGH VIC failed to see the neces-
-ity of calling out the militia to guard
against an imaginary danger, We tske
exceeding pleasure in noting the readi-
ness with which the boys answered the
call. While largely ignorant Of its H.
tent they responded with soldier-like
prompiness. There wac no time for
preparation. The long roll bad been
beaten and they turned out and fell in
for any emergency. As the young SOL
diers stood in line IN front of their arm
DRY on the morning Of their departure,
they presented hsndsOme, soid;erly

to be proud of her citizen soldiery. With.
