REQUEST is GRANTED
EXECUTION OF AMERICANS At
HAVANA DELAYED.

VIII Be Postponed Some Weeks-The
The Case Referred to the Supreme
Tribunal of Wharf.-The Treaty to Be
Discussed.
Washington, May 13.-In the Com
petitor case it can be authoritatively
stated that at the request of the United
States the Spanish government will
postpone the execution of the death SEN
tences upon the American citizens un-
til the views of the United States re-
spectipg the application of their cases
to the treaty of 1895 and the protocol
of 1877 can be considered.
The announcement of the postpone
ment of the executions means delay
of some weeks. The matter will be
taken up by the diplomatic representa-
tives of the United States and Spain,
and will be made the subject of an ex-
change of correspondence on the inter-
probation to be given the treaty provi-
sions. Meanwhile, the effect will be
to allay popular excitement both here
and in Spain.
1t was definitely announced today
that ON the day that the five men cap.
tured ON the Competitor were tried,
On Friday last, Admiral Navarro, in
conformity with the petition of the
prosecutor and the sentence of the naval
tribunal, approved and signed the sem
tence of death imposed upon the fill
busters, Alfredo Laborde, Dr. Elias
Bedia, William Gildea, John Melton
and Theodore Mata. The announce
ment is supplemented by the statement
that in view of high state considera-
tion, the case has been referred for a
final decision to the supreme tribunal
of war and marine.
Two alleged filibusters, both citizens
of the United States, said to have
formed part of the Competitor ex-
pedition, have arrived here IN custody
from Bahia Honda. They were cap.
tured by the local guerillas of Palma,
sometime after the landing. The
steamer Triter has brought here small
boat abandoned on the coast by the
mayor of Berracos. The boat is be.
lieved to have belonged to a small ex.
pedition which landed in the vicinity
of where the Competitor was sighted
and captured.

Washington, May 1.-THE senate
committee on public buildings and
grounds has reported favorably Sena-
tor Mitchell's bill increasing the limit
of cost of the Portland public building
to $l,000,000. There has already been
appropriated for the building $3.50, 900,
and this bill appropriates the additional
amount of $3.50, 900, which makes the
round million. The bill also provides
that the building, when completed,
shall be used foi a customhouse, ap-
praiser's stores, courtroom, signal. ser
vice offices and Office of the United
States surveyor. general. Heretofore,
the building was to be used only for a
custom house, but the old building, it
is said, is only sufficient for the accom-
modation of the postoffice, and when
the new building is completed all the
other government offices will be re.
moved to it, leaving the whole of the
present building for the postoffice.

Result of a Day OF Tragedies in the
Western Section OF Florida.

Result of a Day of Tragedies in the
Western Section of Florida.
Pensacola, Fla, May 13.-Four men
are dead, two are dying and one is
severely wounded, as the result of trag-
edies in the western section of Florida.
Three of the victims were killed in a
duel about woman; another was
stabbed to the heart by boy, whose
father had been attacked, and the two
who are dying were fiogged and shot
by the regulators.
The duel over the woman was fought
in Calhoun county, near Blounstown.
In that county is the home of Mrs
johnson, a young widow. Roy House
and Henry Smith have been rivals for
the favors of Mrs. johnson. Several
weeks ago the men fought about the
woman and Smith was badly beaten.
Smith vowed to get even and Friday
went to Mrs. Johnson's home, accom-.
panied by his brother Thomas and a
friend. Dick Thompson. The three
found House and the widow together.
House was ordered to leave. He rose
as if to 60, but quickly drew two re-
volvers and opened fire. The Smiths
and Thompson were not slow in get.
ting out their guns. Then fearful
duel followed in the little room.
House shot fast and straight. and in a
few moments the Smith brothers were
dead. House fired his last cartridge at
Thompson, the bullet breaking his
arm. Then house drew a knife and
tried to close with his foe, but his foot
slipped in the blood and before he
could recover Thompson shot him dead.
There was price ON House's head, he
having previously killed two men,
one in South Florida and one in Ala.

The second tragedy occurred in Mad.

then shot, and the body left bound to
the tree. The victim was found next
morning, still alive, but mortally
wounded. After leaving him. the

nights before, and MCGEE threatened
to kill Smith the next time he saw him.
They both happened to come to Elgin
yesterday, with some cattle, and in the
evening met at a camp south of town.

On Sensational Charges,

San Francisco, May 13.-Governor
Budd is in possession of letter which
may lead him to conduct a searching
investigation into the management of
San Quentin. Peter Brown, negro
sailor, who has just been relea. ed from
that institution after serving a five
years term for manslaughter, is the
writer. If the charges he makes prove
true, prison doors are yawning for
some of the men who are now employed
by the state to maintain proper order
and discipline among the 1900 human
beings who have been confined there
because they are unfit to be at large.

pute between two farmers about a
team of horses, in which man named
Olsen shot one named Lissot. he
then carried the body to brush pile
and set it on fire. A deputy sheriff ar
rested Olsen and had him handcuffed
by one hand, but by desperate effort
the man escaped and hid in the woods.
While chasing a robber from his
store, T. ]. Marshall, proprietor OF the
Golden Rule dry goods store, at 274
West Madison street, Chicago, was
shot twice, and died few moments
later on the sidewalk in front of his
place. The robber escaped, after firing

The Vulcan iron works of San Fran
cisco were destroyed by fire, and the
loss is estimated at 100000, with in
surance at $31, 800. The fire spread to
the third floor OF the Reliance machine
works, damaging the building slightly
and destroying considerable stock. The
loss of the Reliance company is more
than covered by the $25, 900 insurance.
In Birmingham, Ala, Reddon Will.
liams, prominent white farmer, was
lynched by mob of forty masked
white men. Williams was arrested on
the charge of making criminal as
sault upon his 16-year.old daughter.
At the preliminary examination the
evidence indicated his guilt and he was
taken from the sheriff and hanged to
the nearest tree.
By vote of 425 to 9S, the Methodist
general conference, in session in Cleve-
land, o., decided the four women dele
gates might retain their seats. This
does not mean that the women have
won complete victory. The decision
was the result of compromise, and
with the understanding that it should
not prejudice the claims of women in
the future or establish precedent for
future conferences to follow.
As an indication of the unprecedent-
ed mining activity in the state of
Washington, the records in the office of
the secretary of state at Olympia show
that there have been filed for record in
the last three months articles for
eighty. three mining corporations.
These, in connection with others, have
netted to the state an amount for re-
cording fees little short of the running
expenses of the secretary of states office
for the same time.
T. A. Phillips, merchant at La
than, Mo-, on returning home from
his place of business, was shot from
ambush by neighbor's youth, aged IA
years, named Stout. The young rob.
ber was hid behind tree, and, as
Phillips passed by, he shot him, the
ball taking effect in the arm. Phillips
ran for his home, but was overtaken
by his assailant and struck over the
head with the weapon and felled to
the ground. In the encounter, Phillips
seized Stout by the throat and choked
him to death.

Renters and owners of land in the
Umstilla reservation met in Pendleton,
Or, and organized vigilance COM

caused by the Indians tearing down

THE coNsUL-eENERAL's ACTION
Caused Great Indignation Throughout
Spain.

Spain.
Madrid, May l2.-There are evil
dences of growing popular excitement
in Spain over the attitude of the United
States government toward the question
of the tilibusters captured on board the
Competitor. The riots and outbreaks
of popular hatred toward the United
States at the time of the passage through
congress of resolutions favoring the
recognition of the Cubans as belliger.
ents have not been forgotten, and the
sentiments which caused them are but
smouldering. The Spanish govern.
ment has on all possible occasions ex.
pressed its appreciation of and satisfac.
tion with the efforts made by the
United States to prevent, as far as lay
in its power, the giving of unlawful
aid to the Cuban insurgents by citizens
of the United States. But the wide.
spread sympathy felt for the insurgents
in the United States is we'll recognized
by the Spanish people, and the news Of
expeditions from the United States
lanueu from Time TO time In Cuba
creates intense irritation.
The news of the capture of the men
on the Competitor was received with
great satisfaction and rejoicing. 1t
was felt to be the first opportunity that
had been offered to make example Of
those engaged in aiding the insurreC-
tion.
The popular clamor for the execu.
tion of the filibusters is general, and is
likely to become vociferous. Little &C.
count is taken of the refined questions
of treaty Interpretation involved in the
protest of the United States government
against the execution of the sentence.
The action of the United States is re.
garded rather as an expression of sym.
pathy with the insurgents, and there
will be a strong popular clamor to dis.
regard it.
The public feeling on the subject is
fostered by the tenor of advices It ceived
from Havana. Dispatches from there
affirm that Captain General Weyler is
greatly irritated at the attitude of the
United States ea the question of the
sentence. 1t fs asserted that if the
Spanish government adopts a contrary
view, owing to the Representations
made by the United States government,
Weyler will resign his position.
