THE CASE OF DR.. ANGEL.
The Doctors Expressed sympathy Stands
Against Him.

Ann Arbor, Mich, June DIR. Jas.
b. Angel says Turkey is now discuss
ing his acceptability as American Min
lister. He arrived at his home in this
city recently from Washington. DR..
Angel has for years been chairman of
the American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, whose work in Turkey has been
carried on to the great dissatisfaction
of the Sultan. His sympathy with
mission work and a reported interview
with him, in which he was made to
say he hoped the Turks would meet
their match in the Greeks, caused the
talk about his appointment to Con-
stantinople.
''In view of the muddle of matters"
said DIR. Angel, II cannot say when
shall leave for Turkey. The presump-
ton is, may tell you candidly, that 1
shall go, when L cannot definitely say
OF course it may be that the Sultan
may refuse to be appeased and will
continue to consider me too good a
man, or too bad man, as you please,
to have about"

also rumored that when peace between
Greece and Turkey is concluded, Rus

Helena, Mont, June 1. t$srnor
Smith today notified President McKin-
ley that Agent Stouch was interfering
with the civil authorities. Shortly
afterward the authorities of Custer
county asked the governor to order out
the Miles City militia. The governor

GOMEZ AND WEYLER.
woy1er Hides During Engagement Be-
tween Their Forces.


Havana, via Key West, May 31.-De-
tails have been received here of an en-
gagement at La Reforma between the
Spaniards. commanded by Gen. Wey-
Ter, and the Cubans, led by Gen. Gomez.
The battle was fought early last week
and IL was a result Of Weyler's scheme
TO crush Gomez by surrounding him
with 10000 men. The plan failed, and
the battle was reported here as an or
binary Spanish victory without de-
tails.
1t was the first time in the war that
Weyler and Gomez have fac ed each 9th
er. Gomez, placing his men in the
best strategic position at La Reforma,
awaited Gen. Weyler and for six hours
held him in check, although the Cubans
scarcely numbered 1000 men.
Gomez ordered his best shots to pur-
sue the Spanish general, but the latter
never came to the front. When two
fresh Spanish columns came up Gomez
retired and the Spanish abandoned the
field.

MONTANA INDIAN TROUBLE.
Clash between Federal and state Authori-

| ItAfb between fCdffti anu Ftsh' 1Uth'sf-
ties Develops.
Salt Lake City, May 3i.--A special TO
the Tribune from Helena, Mont, says;
Last Reports from Lame Deer agency,
In the extreme southeastern portion of
the State, are to the effect that only
one man has been killed during the
present Cheyenne scare. He was q
sneephcrder named Hoover and was
killed several days ago. This act SO
incensed the stoclxmen and settlers
that they armed themselves and pro-
posed 10 fight Indians. The women
and children were removed TO places OF
safety and the men, fully armed, col.
lected near the agency. The sheriff of
Custer county and a large force Of
deputies and two companies OF cavalry
from Fort Custer, fastened to the scene
of impending conflict. The sheriff and
his deputies were promptly ordered off
the reservation by the ggent, Capt.
Stouch, who said he would be able in a
few days 10 effect the arrest of the
Indians who murdered Hoover. The
civil officers protested strongly against
the order of the agent, but finally
obeyed and returned to Miles City.
Then they secured warrant for the
arrest of the agent for interfering with
officers in the discharge of their duty,
and also warrants for the arrest of one
Indian known TO have participated in
the killing of Hoover, and two other
blank warrants for unknown Indians.
They Immediately started on their
return to the agency. Other troops
we're hurried forward TO Lame Deer
and there are now six companies at
that point. There is no doubt that
high excitement prevails, but 1t is not
likely, with so many soldiers on hand,
that anything like a massacre or pitched
battle win take place.

wEYLER'S ORDERS.
flo Has Forbidden the Sale of Imported
Meat In Puerto Principe.

Havana, June 1.-Weyler has for
hidden the sale of imported meat in
Puerto Principe, and is compelling the
public to consign only beef purchased
from his own agents proceeding from
confiscated cattle roundedup and driven
in by his troops from adjacent dis
tricts throughout Santa Clara prov
ince.
The situation is the same in towns
garrisoned by Spanish troops. Mill
tary operations having been virtually
suspended, the army is being used to
further the cattle speculations of the
chiefs and military commanders. In
one district, that of Sancti Spiritus,
the entire battalion of Alfonso XIII
has been supplied with lassoes an[
sent in the field as cowboys.
The fact has been openly announced
in the local Spanish newspapers, and
two steam transports subject to Wey-
ler's orders are kept busy carrying the
conhscated cattle to Santiago de Cuba,
Manzanillo and other good markets.

Two Released Prisoners Tell Horrible
story.


San Francisco, June f.-"Shoot the
first man who breaks out Of his cell"
That was the order TO the guards at
San Quentin prison last night. The
prisoners were shrieking like maniacs
and rafting and pounding on the iron
doors of their cells. The guards were
doubled and each carried a shotgun
loaded with buckshot.
Two men who were released, their
terms having expired, told what the
desperate convicts are planning. Ac-
cording TO this story, it has been
agreed among the ringleaders that
when they are permitted to return to
work in the jute mill they will make
sudden rush, kill Engineer Young, IL
necessary, overpower the guards and
completely wreck the magnificent
plant, on which an enormous amount
of money, said TO be nearly 81 100000,
has been spent. The machinery is Of
such nature that it could very soon
be demolished and practically destroy
ed, and the convicts are worked up to
such high pitch that they would stop
at nothing. There are 1854 prisoners
within the walls at San Quentin.
Over half of them are in open revolt.
Many of the others sympathize with

VIII Die Like n Man.

San Quentin, Cal, June Theodore
Durrant has made the declaration that
if he must meet his fate on the gal
lows, he will die like man. The
mere suggestion of suicide is repulsive
to him, he says. He also declares that
he will die in the presence of his pa
rents, who will insist on attending the
execution as his invited guests.
The elder Durrant says that his wife
is woman of determination and she
will press her legal rights to the limit.
Under the law Warden Hale cannot
deny her admission if she presents at
the prison an invitation of her son re-
questing her presence at the hanging.
The law gives him the right to invite
five relatives,
