GREENWAY'S LATEST MOVE.

viii Ask tho Legislature to Protest
Against Threatened Coercion.
WINNIPEG, Feb. 28.-In the Manitoba
legislature Premier Greenway gave no
tice that tomorrow he would move the
house into committee to enter formal
protest against the threatened coercion
of the Ottawa government in respect to
Roman Catholic parochial schools. The
premier declares that the remedial bill
at Ottawa was being forced through
without an inquiry into the facts, and
he further declared the Manitoba gov
ernment was willing to remedy any.
thing that could be shown to bear
harshly on Roman Catholics. It is be-
lieved the premier's action paves the
way for announcement Of the result of
Sir Donald A. Smiths mission to Win
nipeg and everybody is on the tiptoe of
expectation. The premier's declaration
is taken to mean that if the Dominion
government authorities drop their
coercion bill he will undertake to settle
the difficulty himself.

sou, 900 cartridges, is an enormous item
to the Spanish army. The disappear
ance of the men will ultimately be
traced to either death in battle, the
number of which has been concealed
to hide Spanish losses, details to posi-.
tions in various parts Of the island, of
which no record has been kept, or de.
sertions to join the insurgents. The
Spanish records show that entire gar.
risons have joined the rebels with their
arms, in every province in the island.
An order was issued by General Wey.
ler several days ago for report Of the
number, position and condition Of the
army. The responses to this, it is said.
have increased the confusion and there
are reports now from reliable sources
that there are 10000 men, instead Of
1000, to be accounted for.

open rebellion against President Zelaya.

attacked very speedily. The conserva-

give moral support to President Zelaya

Retired Merchant shnots His wife and
Then Suicides.
MADISON, Wis, Feb. 26.-A terrible
tragedy, resulting in the fatal shooting
Of Mrs. A. w. Patterson, by her hus-
band, and his death by his own hand
Immediately afterward, occurred at
midnight, at their home in this city.
Whether it was not practically double
suicide is question. A letter, ostensi-
bly, from both parents, was left to the
children, saying husband and wife had
premeditated ghicide for some time and
had resolved to die together. This
declaration, however, is opposed by
the fact that when found, the
wife, who had retired and
was in her night robe, had one arm
thrown across her face as if to shield it,
and bullet in the arm, while the hus-
band was still fully dressed.
The family came here last July from
Algona, Ia, where Patterson was a
merchant, retiring on account Of poor
health. They came here to educate
their children at the state university,
which Patterson formerly attended. No
other motive than insanity on the part
Of the husband or intended suicide on
the part Of both can be assigned for the
deed
