GALENA, Kan, Sept. 15.-Search for

murderous Stattle back family is still in
progress. The work is slow, as the
shaft in which the bodies of two girls
are said to be has caved in and the dirt
has to be taken out According to the
statement of the women who went to
the Staffleback house, these girls were
killed to prevent their telling of other
crimes as brutal In fact, every pros

in the vicinity of the house suggests
possible revelations of career in
wholesale murder, done for plumber
and in wanton wickedness Word was
received from Columbus that Ed Stat

VIEWS OF A CORRESPONDENT.
Belli9eret Recognition Would Win the
Cuban Fisht-Senator Allen Talks.

Belli9eret Recognition Would Win the
Cuban Fisht-Senator Allen Talks.
Karl Decker, OF Washington, who as
correspondent of the New York Journal
spent some time in Cuba, much of it
with a branch Of the Cuban army in
Santa Clara province, gave a descrip-
ton Of the condition Of affairs existing
and Of the pitiable plight of many of
the people suffering for the necessities
Of life. He ridiculed the claims set out
by General Weyler that the island had
been pacified and said that II the Gu.
bans were granted belligerent rights by
the United States they would certainly
win.
In the course Of some remarks, Sena-
tor Allen, of Nebraska. said that in this
whole matter he thought there had been
too much sacrifice to a spirit of COM
mercialism, and it was time this gov
eminent had q little more humanity
and a little more Americanism. He
declared that the United States could
not afford to have a decaying monarchy
with foothold on this continent, and
he would be delighted to see Spain and
the Ottoman empire wiped from the
map of Europe. If the president were
to send a fleet to Havana war in the
island would cease in thirty days and it
would not be necessary to fire a gun.
Mrs. Clara Belle Brown. of the wom-
ans National Cuban League, said the
league had but one platform. one aim
and one end, and that end was the es-
Enlistment of the republic Of Cuba. Re-
marks were also made by Rev.
DR.. Kent. Mrs. Lincoln (vice
director of the Woman's League)
and Rev. Howard Wilbur En-
mis-. Ex-senator Butler. OF South
Carolina, read a series OF resolutions
which had been prepared. and these
were unanimously adopted. They earn
estly protest against the ''barbarous
and inhuman methods Of Spain in con-
Quoting the war in Cuba" declare that
this government should recognize the
insurgents as belligerents, and that
Cuba had demonstrated that it was
her manifest destiny that like Mexico
she should be free and independent
without the payment to Spain OF any
indemnity

Kingman. A. T., May 17.-Ahvote. the
Piute Indian who HAHN the last three
days murdered no less than ten white
men, II dead. He met his fate at the
hands Of members of his own tribe. who
were compelled by the miners in
Eldorado Canon to trail the murderer
to death, the penalty for their failure
to do so being fixed at the humiliation
Of every Pluto the miners could reach.
Eight years ago q brother Of Ahvote
killed q mail rider. The whites de-
manded that the murderer be killed,
and Ahvote was ordered BY the tribe
to kill him and bring back Convincing
proof that he had executed the order.
He brought In one toe and q part Of an
ear. but the whites said he must bring
better proof. Two days afterward he
brought the head Of his brother. Since
that time Ahvote has been morose and
sullen and lived apart from the tribe.

ings were all cold -blooded butcheries.
The miners congregated in Eldorado
Canon and told the Piutes that IL they
did not bring in or kill Ahvote they
would kill every Piute they could
reach. Six Piutes Immediately took the
trail and followed it to the places where
his victims were killed. From side to
side of the Colorado river went Ahvcte
on his pilgrimage of murder.
BY the Way, Where Was the Law?
The Indians followed him down the
river, found where he had made his
last landing and trailed him ten miles
up the canon into the mountains. where
they crept up and shot him as he was
going over the range. An Indian went
to the river and signaled to John APP
pei. who was going down the stream
in boat with the body OF Monaghan,
to come ashore. He tied up his boat ard

Saturday evening and made threats
that if the whites molested them they
