ATTACK ON CALHOUN.
Havana Paper Criticises the United
States Commissioners.

Havana Paper Criticises the United
States Commissioners.
In leading article Ell Diario de la Ma
rina, published in Havana, makes a scath-
ing indirect attack upon Commissioner
Calhoun by criticising articles which have
appeared in western paper over the sig
nature of Mr.. Pepper, who, in the guise of
an Intimate friend of President Mckinley
and Mr.. Calhoun, accompanied the latter
to Cuba.
El Diario maintains that many incidents
of the interior working of the mixed COM
mission, which are wholly private, have
been divulged in Mr.. Peppers letter,
thus tending to compromise Mr.. CAL
houn. The paper also represents
Mr.. Peppers unfriendly attitude
toward Spain in his reports on
the Cuban question, expressing disgust
that while he blames Spain for the natural
result of the war, he has no word OF CEN
sure for the Cuban insurgents, whose
torches are destroying the wealth of the
island. In closing its article Ell Diario de
la Marina calls attention to the fact that
two New York newspapers, whose Cuban
representatives are scarcely favorable to
Spain, maintain bureaus in Havana under
the same roof with the United States con-
sui general, intimating with much delicacy
that the correspondents of these two news
papers are virtually under the wing of
Gen. Lee and draw most of their inspira,
ton from him.

Miliie Griffin, and, seeing a hoe cake on a

ACT on the part of the child enraged the old
woman. She procured an empty oat sack
anu putting the child into it, tied up the
sack and hung it on pair of pot hooks up
one chimney. The woman, who is 70 years

1ne child should not be released by other

1ormance an uncle of the child heard
groans IN the cabin and went in to investi-

had caught fire and the child had been
literally roasted alive. Neighbors gathered
and it was with difficulty that they were
prevented from lynching the perpetrator
OF the terrible crime.

INDIANS ON wARPATH.
Redskins Said to Have Already
Killed Dozen Men,


Killed Dozen Men.
A dispatch from Helena, Mont, on May
81 says: The Cheyenne Indians have gone
on the warpath and are said to have killed
about dozen men including five United
States soldiers. They have no reservation
of their own, but roam over the southern
part OF the state near the Crow Reserva-
ton. The white settlers are up in arms,
and women and children are being sent
into the towns for safety.
Two companies of Colorado cavalry are
out from Fort Custer. A courier from
Lame Deer Agency brings the information
that the Indians killed the agency post
master and Lou Anderson, a stockman.
They also fired into the cavalry, killing
five, and had sixty armed cowboys sur
rounded. The Fort Keogh cavalry and
Company E, infantry, have left for the
scene.
There are certainly grounds for fear
The Cheyennes are determined and are be-
ing reinforced by renegade Crows. The
Rosebud ranchers received consignment
of rifles and ammunition at this point to-
day. Settlers have moved all their fam
lilies from near the reservation. Ranchmen
and stockmen are organized at the Chey-
enne Agency and demand the Indians who
killed Hoover.

About year ago woman named Fanny
Durand made complaint that she had re-
ceiyed number of obscene commanica-
tions through the postoffice at washington
Springs. The matter found its way into
United States court at Sioux Falls and
Henry Haffy was indicted, charged with
the crime. The case never came to trial as
it was believed the man was drowned.
But now the Durand woman has received
letter from Haffy from a town in
Nebraska Offering her $50 if she will come
to him there. The United States marshal
has gone after Hatfy and he will soon be
awaiting his trial with good chance of
being placed where his mania for writing
letters will be under control.

Wagon Loaded with Little Ones
Struck by a Train In Denver.
At 8 O'Clock Sunday evening spring
wagon driven by Henry Marsau, carpen-
ter of Denver, Colo, and containing eight
children, ranging in age from to years,
was struck by train on the Denver and
Rio Grande Railroad and as result four
of the children are dead and the others are
terribly injured, two so badly that they
will die. Marsau, with his children, had
been spending the day at the home
of a friend in the southern
part of the city. When ready,
to start for home he took load of child
rem gathered in the neighborhood for a
short ride. 1t is claimed by the police that
Marsau was intoxicated and paid no at
tention to the signals of the engineer, but
drove upon the track while the train was
in plain sight and but few feet away.
The engine struck the wagon, demolish-
ing it and crushing and mangling the
children in a horrible manner.

GREAT TEXAS CROPS.

Thousands OF Reapers and Mowers
at Work in the Loan Star State.
DALLAS, Texask Thousands of reapers
and mowers are in operation now in cen
tral and northern Texas and the Pan
handle, and if the rain will hold off two
weeks the state will have the largest grain
crop in its history. Conservative estimates
place the wheat yield at from 100000 to
20,~b,Ooo bushels. 1t will easily bring 80
cents per bushel, or s15,O0O,OOo, and the
oat crop is estimated at 100000 bushels,

Is great demand for labor to harvest the
great crop.
